Wolves live in family groups. Usually, a wolf can have four to six pups at one time. Their first
home can be a small cave or a hole dug in the ground. It must be big enough to shelter the mother
and the pups from weather and protect the pups from other animals that may want to hurt them.
Pups grow inside their mother for about 63 days before they are born. At birth, they weigh
only one pound, and their eyes are closed. Pups grow quickly. About three weeks after they are
born, they come out of the home for the first time. At first, they live only on milk from their
mother. By three weeks of age, they start eating meat. Since pups are too young to hunt, adult
wolves bring meat to them. Any pup that is less fierce than his or her brothers and sisters gets less
food. If pups keep asking for food, adult wolves may warn then to stop
All the wolves in the group help take care of the pups. When the pups are very small, other
group members bring food to the mother, so she does not have to leave the home. When the pups
are a little larger, group members take turns bringing them food, playing with them and even
baby-sitting.Wolf pups love to play. The pups will play with each other and their older brothers and sisters.
This type of play will help them all their lives. It helps them to learn to kill and get together with
other members. Pups will also play with “toys” like bones or the skins of dead animals. They
“kill” they learned from this play as they begin to hunt small animals, like rabbits. When pups are
six months old, they will start hunting larger animals with the rest of the group.
74. Pups’ first homes have to be big so that they can _________.
A) Play inside B) stay safe
C) learn to sill D) grow faster
75. Pups don’t start eating meat until they are _________.
A) 63 days old B) three weeks old
C) six weeks old D) six months old
76. _________ the pups are, the more food they can get from adult wolves.
A) The fiercer B) The younger
C) The weaker D) The cleverer
77. Wolves usually live and hunt _________.
A) by themselves B) with older sisters and brothers
C) with their “toys” D) in big groups
78. It’s important for pups to play because _________.
A) this play helps them grow healthier and stronger
B) they can learn how to look after each other
C) they can learn the skills to kill and work with others

13 October
Dear Editor,
I am writing to ask what has happened to our young people. They are not as polite, hard-
working or clever as we used to be. I will give you two examples.
Last Friday, I got on the underground at 9:15 am. It was so busy that there were no free
___80___. There were some teenagers sitting on the seats nearest me, I don’t know why they were
not at school. They were talking ___81___ and laughing. It was difficult to read my newspaper
with all the noise. A heavily pregnant（怀孕的）woman and her daughter got on at the next stop,
carrying lots of shopping bags. I ___82___ the teenagers to let them sit down. They saw the
woman but did nothing. I had to ask them to give her seat. They did so but gave me a ___83___
look. I got off at the next stop and was glad the teenagers didn’t follow me.
Last Saturday, I had dinner with my friend’s family. I was looking forward to meeting his
children. During dinner, we started talking about ___84___. It soon become clear that they knew
so little. They couldn’t tell me the name of the King of Spain or the President of Italy. All they
knew about was the Internet and which singers were the most beautiful. In my day, students knew
the kings, queens and presidents of every country in Europe.
I am ___85___ the future of Germany. How could these young people become responsible
workers and parents? They sit around McDonald’s after school instead of going to the library like
I did at their age. Maybe they have too much money. Perhaps another reader can give us an idea
about what to do with our young people.
Yours sincerely

For years I wanted a flower garden. I’d spend hours thinking of different things I could plant
that would look nice together. But when we had Matthew. And Marvin. And the twins, Alisa and
Alan. And then Helen. Five c___86___. I was too busy raising them to grow a garden.
Money was tight, as well as time. Often when my children were little, one of them would
want something that cost too much, and I’d have to say, “Do you see a m___87___ tree outside?
Money doesn’t grow on trees, you know.”
Finally, all five got through high school and college and were off on their o___88___. I started
thinking again about having a garden. I wasn’t sure, though. I mean, gardens cost money.
Then, one spring morning, on Mother’s Day, I was working in my kitchen. Suddenly, realized
that there must be something u___89___ outside there because a group of people were gathering
at the gate. I looked out of the window and there was a new tree, planted right in my yard. I
thought it must be a weeping willow (垂柳树)，because I saw things b___90___ around on
it .Then I put my glasses on – and I couldn’t believe what I saw. There was a money tree in my
yard! I went outside to look. It was true! There were dollar bills, one hundred of them, all over that
tree. There was also a note writing :”You also have my eight hours of digging time. Love,
Marvin.”
Marvin kept his p___91___, too. He dug up a nice ten-by-fifteen foot flower bed for my.
And my other children bought me tools, pipes, flower seeds and gardening books.
That was three years ago. My garden’s now very pretty, just like I wanted. When I go out and
take care of my flowers, I don’t seem to m___92___ my children as much as I once did. It feels
like they’re right there with me.
I’m still not sure that money grows on trees. But I know love does!
E. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）: ( 14分)
There was a man who had a little boy that he loved very much. Every day after work the man
would come home and play with the little boy. He would always spend all his extra time playing
with the little boy.
One night, the man had extra work to do, and he wouldn’t be able to play with his little boy.
However, he wanted to give the boy something to keep him busy. So, looking around his office,
he saw a magazine with a large map of the world on the cover. He got an idea. He tore (撕) the
map up into small pieces. Then he put all the pieces in his coat pocket.When he got home, the little boy came running to him and was ready to play. The man said that
he had extra work to do and couldn’t play at the moment. He took out all the pieces of the map,
and said, “It is a map of the world. By the time you put it back together, my extra work will have
been finished, and we can play together.” Surely this would keep the child busy for hours, he
thought.
About half an hour later, the boy came to the man and said,” Okay, it’s finished. Can we play
now?”
The man was surprised and said, “That’s impossible. Let’s go and see.” And sure enough, there
was the picture of the world, and every piece was in its place.
The man asked, “How did you do that?” The boy said, “It was simple. On the back of the map
was a picture of a man. When I put the man together, the whole world fell into piece.”
