Many people might be afraid or try to kill it. However, if you live in North Carolina in the USA, one thing you can do is to call the Snake Catchers.The Snake Catchers are four men who love snakes, even poisonous ones. Their newspaper advertisement says, “Snake Catchers： free snake removal(除去）一Please do not kill them Call us. ”The Snake Catchers, who started their service in 1998, dont charge anything for helping people. “We do this as a hobby,” explained Fred Johnson, one of the Snake Catchers.Because of their love of snakes, the Snake Catchers try to keep them alive. “One man asked us to kill a python(蟒蛇), so he could make a pair of boots from the skin. We refused, because we like snakes, and we dont want to see them killed, ” said Fred.Some of the snakes that they catch are kept as pets; some are given to the North Carolina State University. Most, including the poisonous snakes, are set free in the wild, usually in a national park.Fred suggests that people should treat snakes with care. “Actually snakes are very shy and gentle creatures. They only attack if they are frightened. However, you have to know how to treat a snake properly!”According to one happy family, the Snake Catchers are good. One day, the Greenwood family found a snake skin in the kitchen. They looked very carefully and saw a snake sleeping behind a cupboard. They thought about what to do. Then Steve Greenwood remembered the advertisement for the Snake Catchers. He called them.“The Snake Catchers arrived within an hour and they finished the job quickly too,” said Steve Greenwood. “One of them went into the kitchen, found the snake and took it out alive. The Snake Catchers did a very good job.”Last year, the Snake Catchers removed more than seventy snakes from houses in North Carolina.（1）The Snake Catchers catch snakes because _.A . they want to kill the snakesB . they like trying to catch snakesC . they dont want people to hurt snakesD . they like eating snakes（2）When a man asked them to kill a python, the Snake Catchers _.A . made some boots from the skinB . were very happyC . gave him some old bootsD . did not agree（3）The Snake Catchers set most of the snakes free _.A . in a national parkB . in a universityC . in a gardenD . in their own houses（4）According to Fred, _.A . snakes are very dangerousB . people should attack snakesC . snakes are not usually dangerousD . people should run away if they see a snake14. （10分）阅读理解 Butterflies are common all over the world, but butterflies in hotter countries are usually bigger and more brightly colored than those in cooler countries, and they are more different kinds.Usually the male(雄性的)butterflies are more brightly colored than the females. The females have bigger and heavier bodies since they carry the eggs. The bright colors of the males help to attract the females, and the duller(较暗淡的)colors of the females make them less likely(可能的)to be caught by enemies before they have laid their eggs.Some butterflies hare bright pattern colors on the upper surface of their wings that show when flying, but when they rest on a tree or leaves, they close their wings. On the undersides of their wings there are green and brown marks which look like the tree or leaves. They are then difficult to be seen. The best example of this is the Dead Leaf Butterfly. When its wings are closed, it looks exactly like a dead leaf. There are even marks that look like the holes in a dead leaf. When the butterfly is run after by a bird, it closes its wings and seems to have disappeared completely.Many butterflies have round marks on their wings that look like eyes. The round marks have a useful function(功能). When the butterflies are resting, their wings are closed, and these marks cant be seen. When a bird sees one, and begins to attack it, the butterfly will open its wings. The bird thinks that it sees two eyes staring at it, frightened, and flies away.（1）The female butterflies have bigger and heavier bodies than the males because _ . A . the females carry the eggsB . the females eat moreC . the males are more activeD . the males have smaller wings（2）The duller colors of the female butterflies _ . A . help to fly easilyB . help to attract the malesC . make them look fearful.D . make them harder to be caught（3）The underlined word that in Paragraph 3 refers to _ .

A . why the butterfly cannot be seenB . how the butterfly opens its wingsC . what the round marks look likeD . what the function of the round marks is15. （10分） Mr. Smith lives in Toronto.

Every year its the same. As December comes to an end, you think about the new year and all the ways you want to improve your life. But as you start to write down your hopes for the new year, you think about the last year. You excitedly write down all the changes you are going to make, but by the end of January those ideas get lost in your busy life.Heres a suggestion: Forget the too big, hard-to-achieve goals and just think about the small ones. “We often think that we have to do everything in big steps, even though its so hard for us to reach it.” said Robert Maurer, who recently wrote the book One Small Step Can Change Your Life. “What we try to do is to begin with such a small step that we cant find any excuse not to do it.”“Kaizen”, a Japanese word, is used to mean to change behavior and attitudes (态度). During World War II, American factory managers were able toincrease productivityby trying small, continuous improvements instead of sudden changes. After the war, the idea was brought to a rebuilding（重建） Japan. It made Japan develop fast. The Japanese called it “kaizen”, which means “improvement”. Maurer studied the idea and did some experiments with it. “Kaizen” could possibly help people succeed in doing everything.（1）At the end of December, people usually _A . plan for the last.B . fail to make big changes.C . try to lose their ideas.D . think about the new year.（2）Robert Maurer wrote a book to tell us _A . we should do everything in big steps.B . how to find a small step without any excuse.C . we should try a lot of sudden changes.D . how to change ones life with one small step.（3）The writer of the passage suggests we should _A . take a tiny step to achieve big goals.B . make changes at the end of the year.C . do few experiments with “ kaizen”.D . do things with hard-to-achieve goals.（4）Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A .
