Scientist Without Laboratories
When you hear the word “scitentist”, what do you think of? Many people think scientist are people in clean white coats who work in labs. And some scientists do work in labs. But there are   26   scientist who work in woods and jungles. These scientists are called “animal behavior (行为) scientists”, and they study animals as they live in nature.
Why don’t these scientists catch animals and study them in zoos? The   27   is in the word “behavior”. Animals behavior scientists want to learn   28   animal behave in their wild homes. When animals live in cages (笼子) or in zoos, they do not act the same as they do when they are   29  . They may fight   30   each other, or they may not eat, or they may not raise (抚养) their babies as they usually would. To see real animal behavior, scitentists must go where the animals   31  .
So animal behavior scientists go into the jungles, the woods or the desert. There , their most important   32   are their eyes and ears. They watch and listen to the animals very   33  . They write down everything that happened in notebook.   34 
they live near the animals, the scientists are careful not to frighten them. If the scientists are luncky, the animals will   35   no attention to them. Then the scientists can see how the animals really live.

A man came home from work late, tired, to find his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door.
“Daddy, how much money do you make each hour?”
“If you must know, I make＄20 each hour.”
“Oh,” the little boy answered, with his head down. He thought for a moment, looked up and said, “Daddy, could you lend me ＄10?”
The father was furious, “If you asked for the money to buy a toy or some other rubbish, the go straight to your room and think about why are you so selfish (自私)！”
The little boy went to his room no words and shut the door. After a short while, the father calmed (平静) down, and started to think, “Maybe he really needs to buy something and he didn’t really ask for money very often.” So he went to the little boy’s room.
“Sorry！Maybe I was too hard on your just now.” said the man, “Here’s ＄10.”
“Oh, thank you Daddy！” he said happily. Then the boy took out some coins. When the father found that the boy already had money, he got angry again.
“Why do you want more money since you already have some?” the father shouted angrily.
“Because I didn't have enough, but now I do.” The little boy replied, “Daddy, I have ＄20 now. Can I buy one hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you. ”
How much does the boy’s father make one hour?

In this passage, the underlined word “furious” means     .

At first, the father refused to lend the money because     .

A．he thought the boy wanted to keep the money for himself.

B．he did not have enough money at that moment

C．the thought the boy would buy something of no use

D．the boy always borrowed the money from him

The boy wanted to buy      with twenty dollars.

From the passage, we can infer that the boy’s father     .

Monkeys are clever and lively, but they are naughty and greedy (贪婪的) as well. Whenver they find delicious food, they will eat enough.  What’s more, they will take it when they leave. They have suffered (吃亏) a lot because of this. But they never change this way.
In India, people use monkey’s greed to catch them. Do you know how they can catch monkeys? Here are some instructions.
◆              Make a hole in a big pumpkin (南瓜). The hole must be just right     ----neither too big nor too small.
◆              Put some jujubes (枣) in the hole.
◆              Leave the pumpkin under a tree. Make sure there are some monkeys in   the tree.
◆              Hide yourself and watch the monkeys.
As soon you leave, the monkeys can’t wait to come down to the pumpkin. When they find a hole in the pumpkin, they don’t know what’s in it and one of them can't help putting its hand into the hole to find what on earth there is. When it touches the jujubes, it will clench (攥紧) some of them in its hand. As a result, it isn’t able to take its fist (拳) out of the hole. You can’t come close until this time. Will the monkey drop off the pumpkin? Don’t worry. It prefers the pumpkin than its life. It will run with the pumpkin, clenching its fist more tightly. In the end, it is caught helplessly.
Monkeys haven’t changed their way of doing with nice food because they are
    .

“The hole must be just right” means it is     .

Seeing the hole in the pumpkin, a monkey will     .

Which of the following is true according to the passage?

What should we learn from the passage?

I felt very sad not to be able to get the ticket for the film Titantic last Friday. I learned in the newspaper that ticket could be bought at the cinema box office (售票处) in Richland Hill every day between 10:00 and 4:00. Because I work from 9:00 to 5:30, the only time I could go to the cinema was during my 45-minute lunch time. It is a pity that the cinema is on the other side of the town, and the bus service between my office and Richland Hills is not very good. But if you are lucky, you can make the round(往返) trip in 45 minute.
Last Monday I stood at the bus stop for fifteen minutes, waiting for a bus. By the time I saw one come around the corner, there was not enough time left to make the trip---- so I had to go back to the office. The same thing happened on Wednesday. On Thursday my luck changed, I got on a bus right away and arrived at the cinema in twenty minutes. But when I got there, I found a long line of people at the box office. I heard one man say he had been waiting in line for fifty-five minutes. I found that I would not have enough time to wait in line, I caught the next bus and went back across the town.
By Friday I understood my only hope was to make the trip by car.it was not cheap,but I felt it would be worth ot to see the film. The trip by car only took 10 minutes, but it felt like one hour to me. When I reached the cinema, I was delighted to see that nobody was waiting in line. But quickly found out that it was because they had already sold all the tickets.
It seems that the writer of the story works     .

He tried to go to the cinema bo buy a ticket but really got there     .

The underlined word “delighted” means     .

Which of the following is true according to the story?

What’s the title of the story?

The word “sport” first meant somethin that people did in their free time. Later it often meant hunting (捕猎) wild animals and birds.
About a hundred years ago the word was first used for organized games. This is the usual meaning of the word today. People spend a lot of their spare time playing football, basketball, tennis and many other sports. Such people play because they want to. A few people are paid for the sport they play. These people are called professional sportsmen. They may be sportsmen for only a few years, but during that time the best one can earn a lot of money.
For example, a professional footballer in England earns more than ＄3000 a year. The starts earn a lot more. International golf and tennis champions (网球锦标赛) can make more than ＄50000 in a year. Of course, only a few sporsmen can earn as much money as that. It is only possible in sports for individuals (个人的) like golf, tennis and motor-racing. Perhaps the most surprising thing about sportsmen and money is that: the star can earn more money from advertising than from sport. An advertising for sports equipment (设备) does not simply say “Buy our thing”. It says “Buy the same shirt and shoes as…”. Famous sportsmen can even advertise things like watches and food. They allow the companies to use their name or a photo of them and they are paid for this. Sport is no longer just something for people’s spare time.
根据上文内容判断正（T）误（F）
A “professional” sportsman is someone who likes sports very much.
The word “sport” now usually means “organized ” games.
An advertisement for sports equipment just says “Buy our thing”.
The sport stars can earn as much money from advertising as from sport.
This passage mainly talks about sport and money.

Learn a second language
There was once a young mouse that lived in a hole in a wall. One day, the young mouse woke up from his sleep and looked out of the hole. As he looked out, a fantastic smell came to his nose. “Cheese!” the mouse said happily to himself. “I’ll go and get it now and have it for breakfast.”
But then he remembered his parents’ words. His parents were very clever mice and often said to their son, “Always wait before you go for a piece of cheese.”
So the young mouse waited quietly. Then he heard a quiet “Miaow” and he knew the cat was there. He stayed in the hole and said to himself, “I’m glad I listened to my parents and learned to wait.”
The next day, he looked out again. He put his nose out of the hole, and the beautiful smell of cheese came to his nose again. He could see the cheese. It was only a few centimetres away. But he sat still and waited quietly. This time he did not hear any cat noises. Instead he heard a very quiet “Woof, woof.”
“It’s a dog!” he thought. “If the dog is there, the cat won’t be there. I expect the dog has chased the cat away, so I’m safe.” The mouse ran out of the hole and started eating the cheese. He did not see the cat, which caught him and ate him.
When the cat finished her meal, she said to herself, “I’m glad I listened to my parents and learned a second language.”
Who told the mouse to wait before going for a piece of cheese?

How did the young mouse know the cat was there?

What was the cat’s meal?

Which language did the cat learn as a second language?

Which of the following sentences is Not True according to the passage?

Shopping is not as simple as you may think! Much has to be done for the producers before putting the products on the shelf.
Color, for example, changes a lot according to what the producers are trying to sell. Health foods are packed in greens, yellows or browns because we think of these as healthy colors.
When some kind of medicine was brought out recently, researchers found that the color of the package(包装) caused the shoppers to lose interest because they made the product look ineffective(无效的). At last, it came on the market in dark blue and white—blue because we think of it as safe, and white as calm.
The size of a package can also attract(吸引) a shopper, although quite often a bottle doesn’t hold as much as it appears to.
It is said that the better-known companies spend about 40 percent of the cost of the product itself on packaging!
The most successful producers know that it’s not enough to have a good product. The head of Pears Soap, who for 25 years has used pretty little girls to sell their goods, came to the conclusion: “Any fool can make soap, but it takes a talent to sell it.”
Health foods are usually packed in colors Except ________.

Why did the shoppers lose interest in the medicine?

If a new product costs $ 60, how much money may be spent on packaging?
