It was dusk and as I walked alone I came across six large wolves（狼）that were feeding on the body of a dead animal. I had heard many stories about wolves as a child and it was this animal that I feared more than any other. The wolves before me were huge, at least 6 feet long and covered with thick grey fur. As I went near, the wolves left the blood-covered snow that surrounded the body and started walking towards me, one after another. They stopped about 20 metres from me and stared. The lead wolf raised his head into the air and took in a deep breath, as if he was smelling my presence. The animals looked both beautiful and frightening, but I knew I could not show them my fear. As I drew nearer, the lead wolf raised its head once more but this time let out a long, loud cry. The awful cry rang out across the silent valley. I had never heard a more frightening sound. I was almost certain it was a sign to be death. Every moment I expected to see the pack of wolves dash（冲）at me. I knew my only hope was to pretend I had no fear. I walked past the line of wolves, like a general（将军）moving among his soldiers. They cried out loud again. But when they saw that their cry did not cause me to change my direction or make me run they feared to come after me, so they let me pass and returned to the dead animal. If I had turned back or tried to run away when they marched out to meet me, I am certain the whole pack would have attacked me in a moment. But my show of false courage intimidated them and kept them back.56. Why didnt the wolves attack the man?A. They were no longer hungry when they saw him.B. The man was already known to the wolves.C. They were too far away to catch the man.D. The man showed no fear as he passed by.57.

To show that mountains can be dangerous places.B. To discuss the habits of mountain wolves.C. To make people aware of the danger of wolves.D. To stress the need for courage when in danger.59. Which is the best title for this story?A. In Face of Fear B. My Trip to GreeceC. My Mountain Travels D. A Man Without FearBDear Mom and Dad, The time has come: Im graduating, and I thank you both for all your help during these 15 years.

Here are some tips that may be helpful in choosing a wheel. Steel wheelsoffered mostly for offroad or as a low cost alternative to aluminum(铝)Steel wheels can be improved by making small changes with a spray can or brush if the need ever arises. A chromed（铬）steel wheel is likely to rust（生锈）and is likely to need repair，especially in areas that use salt on the roads in the winter. They are heavier than aluminum wheels，thus，add some additional stress to suspension and braking(刹车)parts. Another downfall of steel wheels is that they are handbuilt wheels and have lower ability of bearing in regard to run in，sometimes causing shaking problems on the street. ALWAYS dry your wheels off after going through a car wash. The chemicals used in car washes these days can leave dirty spots that are difficult，if not impossible，to get rid of.ALWAYS wash the road salt off your wheels as soon as possible. Salt can eat into the last part of a wheel and leave pits and stains that cannot be fixed. ALWAYS check the directions on a cleaner before you use it on your wheels or tyres. Some tyre cleaners will forever discolour(褪色) wheels and some wheel cleaners contain acids that will eat certain types of wheels.64. The passage mainly tells us about_.A. how to repair and fix wheels B. how to buy and wash wheelsC. how to introduce and use wheels D. how to choose and protect wheels65. If you are a driver，you should better buy_.A. steel wheels B. aluminum wheels C. iron wheels D. plastic wheels66. If a driver has bought steel wheels，_.A. braking parts of the wheel are not quickB. the wheels must leave a lot of dirty marksC. sometimes the wheels will cause shaking on roadsD. he can save a lot of money in repairing his car67. According to the passage，a driver should_.A. pay special attention to his cars wheelsB. make less use of salt to protect and repair his cars wheelsC. let acids eat certain types of wheelsD. often wash his car and keep it away from dangerD Not all bodies of water are so evidently alive as the Atlantic Ocean，an Sshaped body of water covering 33 million square miles. The Atlantic has, in a sense, replaced the Mediterranean as the inland sea of Western civilization. Unlike real inland seas, which seem strangely still, the Atlantic is rich in oceanic liveliness. It is perhaps not surprising that its vitality has been much written about by ancient poets. “Storm at Sea”，a short poem written around 700, is generally regarded as one of mankinds earliest artistic representations of the Atlantic.When the wind is from the westAll the waves that cannot restTo the east must thunder onWhere the bright tree of the sunIs rooted in the oceans breast. As the poem suggests, the Atlantic is never dead and dull. It is an ocean that moves, impressively and endlessly. It makes all kinds of noiseit is forever thundering, boiling, crashing, and whistling. It is easy to imagine the Atlantic trying to draw breathperhaps not so noticeably out in midocean, but where it meets land, its waters bathing up and down a sandy beach. It mimics(模仿) nearly perfectly the steady breathing of a living creature. It is filled with symbiotic existences, too: unimaginable quantities of creatures, little and large alike, mix within its depths in a kind of oceanic harmony，giving to the waters a feeling of heartbeat，a kind of subocean vitality. And it has a psychology. It has personalities: sometimes peaceful and pleasant, on rare occasions rough and wild；always it is strong and striking.68. Unlike real inland seas, the Atlantic Ocean is_.A. always energetic B. lacking in livelinessC. shaped like a square D. favored by ancient poets69. What is the purpose of using the poem “Storm at Sea” in the passage?A. To describe the movement of the waves. B. To show the strength of the storm.C. To represent the power of the ocean. D. To prove the vastness of the sea.70. What does the underlined word “symbiotic” mean?A. Living together. B. Growing fast.C. Moving harmoniously. D. Breathing peacefully.71. In the last paragraph, the Atlantic is compared to_.A. a beautiful and poetic place B. a flesh and blood personC. a wonderful world D. a lovely animalEMany people think that the BBC news programs are better than those on other channels because the BBC is not a commercial company.
