At exactly eleven Sir Percival knocked and entered, with anxiety and worry in every line of his face. This meeting would decide his future life, and he obviously knew it.
“You may wonder, Sir Percival,”said Laura calmly, “if I am going to ask to be released (免除) from my promise to marry you. I am not going to ask this. I respect my father’s wishes too much.”
His face relaxed a little, but one of his feet kept beating the carpet.
“No, if we are going to withdraw (退出) from our planned marriage, it will be because of your wish, not mine.”
“Mine?”he said in great surprise. “What reason could I have for withdrawing?”
“A reason that is very hard to tell you,”she answered. “There is a change in me.”
His face went so pale that even his lips lost their color. He turned his head to one side.
“What change?”he asked, trying to appear calm.
“When the promise was made two years ago”, she said, “my love did not belong to anyone. Will you forgive me, Sir Percival, if I tell you that it now belongs to another person?”
“I wish you to understand”, Laura continued, “that I will never see this person again, and that if you leave me, you only allow me to remain a single woman for the rest of my life. All I ask is that you forgive me and keep my secret.”
“I will do both those things,”he said. Then he looked at Laura, as if he was waiting to hear more.
“I think I have said enough to give you reason to withdraw from our marriage,”she added quietly.
“No. You have said enough to make it the dearest wish of my life to marry you,”he said.
24. How did Percival feel during his meeting with Laura?
A. Angry.
B. Calm.
C. Excited.
D. Nervous.
25. We can learn from the passage that ________.
A. Laura’s father wished to end her marriage
B. Laura had once promised to marry Percival
C. Percival had been married to Laura for two years
D. Percival asked to be released from the marriage
26. The passage is probably taken out of ________.
A. a novel
B. a report
C. a diary
D. an essay
C
After years of heated debate, gray wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park. Fourteen wolves were caught in Canada and transported to the park. By last year, the Yellowstone wolf population had grown to more than 170 wolves.
Gray wolves once were seen here and there in the Yellowstone area and much of the continental United States, but they were gradually displaced by human development. By the 1920s, wolves had disappeared from the Yellowstone area. They went farther north into the deep forests of Canada, where there were fewer humans around.
The disappearance of the wolves had many unexpected results. Deer and elk populations - major food sources (来源) for the wolf - grew rapidly. These animals consumed (消耗) large amounts of vegetation (植被)，which reduced plant diversity (多样性) in the park. In the absence of wolves, coyote populations also grew quickly. The coyotes killed a large percentage of the park’s red foxes, and completely drove away the park’s beavers.
As early as 1966, biologists asked the government to consider reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone Park. They hoped that wolves would be able to control the elk and coyote problems. Many farmers opposed the plan because they feared that wolves would kill their farm animals or pets.
The government spent nearly 30 years coming up with a plan to reintroduce the wolves. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service carefully monitors and manages the wolf packs in Yellowstone. Today, the debate continues over how well the gray wolf is fitting in at Yellowstone. Elk, deer, and coyote populations are down, while beavers and red foxes have made a comeback. The
Yellowstone wolf project has been a valuable experiment to help biologists decide whether to reintroduce wolves to other parts of the country as well.
27. What is the text mainly about?
A. Wildlife research in the United States.
B. Plant diversity in the Yellowstone area.
C. The conflict between farmers and gray wolves.
D. The reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone Park.
28. What does the underlined word “displaced”in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Tested.
B. Separated.
C. Forced out.
D. Tracked down.
29. What has caused the disappearance of gray wolves?
A. Damage to local ecology.
B. A drop in the park’s income.
C. Protection of vegetation.
D. An increase in the diversity of animals.
30. What is the author’s attitude towards the Yellowstone wolf project?
A. Doubtful.
B. Positive.
C. Unfavorable.
D. Uncaring.
