One thing the tour books don’t tell you about London is that 2,000 of its residents are foxes. They ran away from the city about centuries ago after developers and pollution moved in. But now that the environment is cleaner, the foxes have e home, one of the many wild animals that have moved into urban areas around the world.
“The number and variety of wild animals in urban areas is increasing,” says Gomer Jones, president of the National Institute for Urban Wildlife, in Columbia, Maryland. A survey of the wildlife in New York’s Central Park last year tallied the species of mammals, including muskrats, shrews and flying squirrels. A similar surve y conducted in the 1890s counted only five species. One of the country’s largest populations of raccoons (浣熊) now lives in Washington D.C., and moose (驼鹿) are regularly seen wandering into Maine towns. Peregrine falcons(游隼) dive from the window ledges of buildings in the largest U.S. cities to prey on (捕食) pigeons.
Several changes have brought wild animals to the cities. Foremost is that air and water quality in many cities has improved as a result of the 1970s pollution-control efforts. Meanwhile, rural areas have been built up, leaving many animals on the edges of suburbs. In addition, urban wildlife refuges (避难处)have been created. The Greater London Council last year spent￡750,000 to buy land and build 10 permanent wildlife refuges in the city. Over 1,000 volunteers have donated money and cleared rubble(碎石) from deserted area. One evening last year a fox was seen on Westminster Bridge looking up at Big Ben.
Cities can attract wild animals without turning them harmful. The trick is to create habitats where they can be self-sufficient but still be seen and appreciated.
Such habitats can even be functional. In San Francisco, the local government is testing different kinds of rainwater control basins to see not only which ones retain (保持) the cleanest water but which will attract the most birds.
50.The first paragraph suggests that ________.
A. London is a city of fox
B. environment is important for wildlife
C. foxes are highly adaptable to environment
D. tour books are not always a reliable source of information
51.Which of the following is NOT a reason that wildlife is returning to the cities?
A. Wildlife is appreciated in the cities.
B. Food is plentiful in the cities.
C. Wildlife refuges have been built in the cities
D. Air and water quality has improved in the cities
52.The underlined word “tallied” in Para. 2 means __________.
A. distinguished
B. described
C. counted
D. excluded
53.It can be inferred from the passage that _________.
A. Londoners are putting more and more wild animals into their zoos
B. Londoners have weled the wild birds, but found foxes a problem
C. Londoners are trying to move wild animals back to the countryside
D. Londoners are happy to see wild animals return to their city
54.What is the passage mainly about?
A. Wildlife returning to large cities
B. Foxes returning to London
C. Wild animals living in zoos
D. A survey of wildlife in New York

In eighteen seventy-seven, the American government decided to move the Nez Perce Indians from their land. The government had set up a reservation for them in Idaho. Chief Joseph did not want to leave the land. It was holy ground. It contained the bones of his father and mother.
But, like his father in earlier times, Chief Joseph knew it would be hopeless to stay and defend the land. There were too few Indians to win a war against the white men.
And so in June of eighteen seventy-seven, the Nez Perce left their home in the Wallowa Valley. They left quickly. They were able to take only a small part of what they owned, and just a few cattle and Appaloosa horses.
When the Indians reached the Snake River, the water was very deep and ran very fast with melted snow from the mountains. Chief Joseph and his people made boats from sticks and dried animal skins to cross the river. While the Indians were busy, a group of white men came and stole some of the cattle waiting at the edge of the river.
The other chiefs demanded that Joseph call a meeting. Two of the chiefs, White Bird and Toohoolhoolzote, spoke for War, but Joseph held different opinion.
Some of the young men in White Bird’s group were very angry. That night, they rode into the countryside and killed eleven white persons.
During all his years as chief, Joseph had tried to keep the peace. Now he saw there was no hope. Although he and his young men had taken no part in the killings, he knew that the white men would blame all of the Indians. Chief Joseph said, “I would have given my own life if I could have undone the killing of the white men.”
Many Nez Perce fled. Chief Joseph remained, because his wife was about to have a baby. After she gave birth, he and his family joined the others in White Bird Canyon to the south.
Joseph wanted to lead the people to safety in the flat lands of Montana. But
the United States army quickly sent horse soldiers to follow them.
They were extremely tired when they reached White Bird Canyon. An Indian—carrying a white flag—walked forward to meet them. A soldier shot him.
With that shot, war between the Nez Perce and the United States began.
55.Wh y didn’t Chief Joseph want to leave the land?
A. He didn’t want to live with the white men.
B. He didn’t want to be separated from his parents.
C. He thought the reservation in Idaho wasn’t satisfying.
D. He had special feeling for the land where he was living.
56.Which of the following is TRUE?
A. While the Indians were waiting by the river, a group of white men stole some
of the cattle.
B. When the Indians reached the Snake River, it was very hard for them to cross
it.
C. Chief Joseph and his people were unwilling to cross the deep river.
D. Before they left their home, the Nez Perce had only a few cattle and Appaloosa
horses.
57.From the passage we can infer that ________.
A. Chief Joseph was afraid of white men
B. white men often killed some Indians
C. Chief Joseph knew it would be hopeless to defend the land
D. conflicts often happened between the Indians and the white
58.After some of the young men in White Bird’s group killed eleven white persons,
________.
A. the United States army wanted to revenge (报仇)
B. all the Nez Perce fled
C. Chief Joseph tried his best to keep peace
D. Chief Joseph
blamed White Bird
59.What might be the title of the passage?
A. Chief Joseph and his children
B. The American Civil War
C. The story of Chief Joseph
D. The Nez Perce Indians

The practice of students endlessly copying letters and sentences from a blackboard is a thing of the past. With the ing of new technologies like puters and smart phones, writing by hand has bee something of nostalgic (怀旧的)skill. However, while today’s educators are using more and more technology in their teaching, many believe basic handwriting skills are still necessary for students to be successful---both in school and in life.
Virginia Berninger, professor of educational psychology at the University of Washington, says it’s important to continue teaching handwriting and help children acquire the skill of writing by hand.
Berninger and her colleagues conducted a study that looked at the ability of students to plete various writing tasks---both on a puter and by hand. The study, published in xx, found that when writing with a pen and paper, participants wrote longer essays and more plete sentences and had a faster word production rate.
In a more recent study, Berninger looked at what role spelling plays in a student’s writing skills and found that how well children spell is tied to how well they can write. “Spelling makes some of the thinking parts of the brain active which helps us access our vocabulary, word meaning and concepts. It is allowing our written language to connect with ideas.” Berninger said.
Spelling helps students translate ideas into words in their mind first and then to transcribe(转换) “those words in the mind written symbols on paper or keyboard
and screen,” the study said. Seeing the words in the “mind’s eye” helps children not only to turn their ideas into words, says Berninger, but also to spot(发现) spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to correct then over time.
“In our puter age, some people believe that we don’t have to teach spelling because we have spell checks,” she said. “But until a child has a functional spelling ability of about a fifth grade level, they won’t have the knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the options given by the puter.”
60.What makes writing by hand a thing of the past?
A. The absence of blackboard in classroom.
B. The use of new
technologies in teaching.
C. The lack of practice in handwriting.
D. The popular use of smart
phones.
61.Berninger’s study published in xx ___________.
A. focused on the difference between writing by hand and on a puter
B. indicated that students prefer to write with a pen and paper
C. found that good essays are made up of long sentences
D. discussed the importance of writing speed
62.Which of the following best shows the role of spelling?
A. Spelling improves one’s memory of words.
B. Spelling slows down finding exact words to express ideas.
C. Spelling benefits the translation from words into ideas.
D. Spelling ability is closely related to writing ability.
63.W hat does “mind’s eye” in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Window.
B. Soul
C. Picture
D. Imagination.
64.What conclusion could be drawn from the passage?
A. puters can help people with their choice of words.
B. Spell checks can take the place of spelling teaching.
C. Handwriting still has a place in today’s classrooms.
D. Functional spelling ability develops fast in the fifth grade.

阅读下面短文，并根据短文后的要求答题 (请注意问题后的词数要求)。

[1]Do you remember the title of the last book you read? Are names sometimes just beyond your brain’s reach? While forgetfulness isn’t necessarily a sign that something’s wrong, it can be frustrating(令人沮丧的). But simple methods can help to sharpen your memory.
[2]Challenge your habits. Sometimes a little bit of habit changing goes a long way. For example, use the ‘wrong’ hand to do an everyday task several times a day. If you usually brush your teeth with your right hand, use your left. The brain ‘knows’ whe n you're using the wrong ha nd. It’s that confusion that stimulates new brain circuits, as the brain struggles to master a new task.
[3]Get involved in music. Listening to music can improve your ability to concentrate and help you to remember what you’ve learnt. Some types of music actually cause brain neurons(神经细胞) to fire more quickly. If you’re really looking forward to sharpening your memory, take up a musical instrument. Whatever the instrument, learning to play will tune your brain’s ability to analyse and focus.
[41Go out of your way to stay mentally active. What really counts is not the amount of book learning you did at school or university, it’s how much you actively use your mind. For example, doing crossword puzzles, learning a second language or
playing games can exercise your brain.
[5] . Make sure that you get enough of the B vitamins in your diet. They help to repair brain tissue, and turn food into mental energy. Eat fish 2 or 3 times
a week. If you drink coffee, you’ll not only get a short-term boost in your ability
to concentrate but also long-term benefits as well. Besides, the brain is 85％water,
so if you don’t drink at least 8 large glasses of water a day, you could suffer from memory loss.

__71___(Worry)about the time available, Zhang Pingyu had made a list of the sites she wanted to see in London. Her first delight was going to the Tower, 72 was built long ago by the Norman invaders of AD 1066. Then, there followed St Paul’s Cathedral built after the terrible fire of London in 1666. She finished the day by looking at the outside of Buckingham Palace.
The 73 day the girl visited Greenwich. 74 interested her most was the longitude line. It is an imaginary line dividing the eastern and western 75 (half)
of the world. It passes through Greenwich, so Pingyu had 76 photo taken standing on either side of the line.
The last day she visited Karl Marx’s statue in Higate Cemetery. It seemed strange that the man who had developed munism 77 have lived and died in London.
