Australia, New Zealand, New Guinea and the Philippines. He ____17___ his wife and three daughters with him
and went wherever the road took him.
It's easy to feel lonely when you're on the ___18___. As my mother said repeatedly, “We made lots of new friends

was a way better than sitting by the roadside while waiting for the engine(发动机) to cool when it was 40℃
outside.

with the same people for the rest of the journey. Even if I sometimes felt like opening the car door and pushing one
of my sisters out, I kept my ____23____ to myself.

____24____ with other people just by traveling in that old car.

Once a king got two nice falcons(猎鹰)from his son. He had never seen such beautiful falcons before. He
loved them so much and he ordered the best falconer to train them to fly. After
several months, the king came to see how the training was going on. He found that
one falcon had already been able to fly high in the sky, while the other was staying
on the branch(树枝)of a tree quietly, just keeping still. The next morning, the king saw the other falcon flying
above in the sky freely. “It is unbelievable!” shouted the king. “How could you make it happen?” The farmer
replied, “It's very easy. I just cut off the branch where the falcon rested.” It is always the same to human beings. We
all have “two flying wings” in our hearts as well, but we often seem not to notice them and stay where we are just
for safety and comfort. We won't realize we can fly so high and freely until the “branch” we are resting on breaks.

Animals are natural resources that people have wasted all through our history. Animals have been killed for
their fur and feathers, for food, for sport, and simply because they were in the way. Thousands of kinds of animals
have disappeared from the earth forever. Hundreds more are on the danger list today. About 170 kinds in the United
States alone are considered in danger. Why should people care? Because we need animals, and because once they
are gone, there will never be any more. Animals are more than just beautiful or interesting. They are more than just
a source of food. Every animal has its place in the balance of nature. Destroying one kind of animal can create
many problems. For example, when farmers killed large numbers of hawks, the farmers' stores of corn and grain
were destroyed by rats and mice. Why? Because hawks eat rats and mice, with no hawks to keep down their
numbers, the rats and mice multiplied quickly. Luckily, some people are working to help save the animals. Some
groups raise money to let people know about the problem. And they try to get the governments to pass laws
protecting animals in danger. Quite a few countries have passed laws. These laws forbid the killing of any animal or
plant on the danger list. Slowly, the number of some animals in danger is growing.
31. Why did people waste natural resources?
A. People cut the trees.
B. People killed animals for their fur , feather and food and so on.

North American black bears are shy animals. They are fearful by
nature, and will usually run away if they see or hear people. Because
of this, it can be difficult for scientists to learn about these animals.
In order to study black bears, researchers from New Jersey, the
USA, catch bears and use drugs to help them go to sleep.
Researchers then work out the size and the weight of the bear, take blood to test for diseases, remove a tooth and
take it to the lab to find out its age. From these studies, researchers want to find out how many bears live in New
Jersey, how long they live, and how many babies they produce. But in Minnesota, the USA, researchers study bears
that are completely awake. The bears know the researchers' voices and they are not afraid of the research team.
With the help of a few grapes to keep the bears busy, researchers can touch them to check their hearts, look at their
teeth, and do other jobs. Researchers can also walk or sit with bears for hours and make videos to learn about their
everyday lives. In both places, the main purpose is the same—to make sure there is a healthy population of black
bears. But the research methods and the kinds of information that researchers are able to collect are quite different.
36.In the first paragraph, we can learn that North American black bears are .
A. shy and fearful animals B. not found today
C. well known to scientists D. not afraid of people37.The word “remove” in the second paragraph probably means in Chinese.
A.拔下 B.移植 C.清洗 D.修补
38.Which of the following may NOT be included in the New Jersey studies on bears?
A. The age. B. The way of their communication.
C. The weight. D. The number of babies they produce.
39.In the Minnesota studies, researchers .
A. can never get close to the bears
B. study the bears while they are asleep
C. use grapes to make the bears full
D. learn a lot about the bears' everyday lives
40.What do the two studies have in common?
A. Research places. B. The main purpose.
C. Research methods. D. Collected information.
