This is one of the most important facts that modern science have learned about wolves and one of the things that most clearly explains their way of life.The pack is usually a family group. It is made up of animals related to each other by blood. The centre of a pack is a pair of wolves-an adult male and female that have produced young. The other members of the pack are their offspring (后代): young wolves ranging in age from pups(幼崽) to two- and three-year-olds. Most packs have 6 or 7 members, although some may include as many as 15 wolves.Relationships among creatures that live close together in groups are often very plex, and this is true of the ties that connect the members of a wolf pack. Scientific studies of captive(被捕获的) wolves and wolf packs in the wild have shown that many plex rules of behavior seem to govern the way that the animals relate to each other.When wolf pups are born into a pack, one of the most important things they must learn is the “language” of the group, the method by which pack members keep in touch with each other, sharing information and municating their feelings. Scientists have discovered that wolves have a very plex system of munication.The most famous wolf sound is, of course, the howl, and it is a very important part of wolf language.When people think about howling, they usually imagine a sad, lonely sound made by a wolf sitting all alone on a hilltop in the moonlight. However, this picture in most human beings mind is not pletely true. Wolves howl at any time, not just at night, and they often howl together, not alone.Group or chorus howling is another means by which the members of a wolf reaffirm(重申) their ties with each other and their closeness as a group. One wolf-often the male leader-will point its nose at the sky, open its mouth, and start to howl. Immediately the other members of the pack rush to stand beside him, shoulder to shoulder, and join their voices to his. Each wolf howls on its own note so that a big chorus of slightly different sounds is produced.Chorus howling often takes place before a wolf pack goes out to hunt. At the end of a successful hunt, the pack may also celebrate with a group howl. While wolves are on the track of prey(猎物), they are usually silent.There are occasions when a wolf will howl by itself. This may happen when an animal is separated from the pack. Pack members seem to recognize each others voices and will keep responding to the howl of their wandering relative until the group is reunited.Because howling is a sound that carries over a considerable distance, it is very useful in munications among separated members of a pack. Howling is also used when members of different packs have to get in touch with each other to pass on information about their locations and their purposes.56. What makes munication the most important part of wolves lives? A. Living in packs B. Hunting at night C. Occupying a large area D. Finding fellows57. What most likely happens to young wolves after the age of four? A. They leave the pack and live alone. B. They leave the pack to form packs of their own. C. They continue to live as part of the pack. D. They take over the leadership from their parents.58. To what human activity could wolves “chorus howling” best be pared? A. A baby crying from hunger B. A family having an argument C. A group of people singing at a concert D. A sports team cheering before a gameBA microscope is a useful instrument for observing small objects. By producing a bigger image, the microscope reveals details that are undetectable to the naked eye(裸眼).Before using the microscope, please read the instructions below.CAUTION: Microscopes are both delicate and expensive and must be handled with care.1. Always carry the microscope with two hands one supporting the base and the other on the arm.2. Avoid stretching the wire of the lamp across a walkway.3.

Place your slide with the specimen directly over the center of the glass circle on the stage. If it is a wet slide, be sure the bottom of the slide is dry.5. With the LOW POWER objective lens placed over the slide, use the coarse focus knob to lower the lens to the lowest point.6. Look through the eyepiece with one eye while closing the other eye. Slowly raise the lens until the focus is relatively clear.7. Use the fine focus knob to fine -tune(微调)the focus.8. Without changing the focus knobs, switch to the HIGH POWER objective lens. Once you have switched to HIGH POWER, use only the fine focus knob to make the image sharper.59. Which of the following is the correct way to use a microscope according to the text? A. Use one hand to carry the microscope B. Place a sample directly on the clean stage C. When stored, the microscope should be adjusted. D. Look through the eyepiece with one eye.60.

It was a strange place. Martin and Tom wished that they had not accepted Jacks dare. They liked camping, but not near this swamp.“So,” Martin asked as they sat watching the hot coals. “How did this place get its name?”“Are you sure you want to hear it? Its a scary story,” warned Jack.“Of course!” cried out Tom. “If there were anything to be scared of, you wouldnt have chosen this place!”“OK, but dont say I didnt warn you,” said Jack, and he began his tale.“Way back in time, a man called Dennis tried to start a farm here. He built that cottage over there to live in. In those days, the area looked quite differentit was covered with tall trees and the swamp was a crystalclear river. After three hard years, Dennis had cleared several fields and planted crops. He was so proud of his success that he refused to listen to advice.”“ You are clearing too much land, warned one old man. The land is a living thing. It will hit back at you if you abuse it.”“ Silly fool, said Dennis to himself. If I clear more land, I can grow more crops. Ill bee wealthier. Hes just jealous!”“Dennis continued to chop down trees. Small animals that relied on them for food and shelter were destroyed. He was so eager to expand his farm that he did not notice the river flowing slowly towards his door. He did not notice salt seeping to the surface of the land. He did not notice swamp plants choking all the native plants.”“What happened?” Martin asked. It was growing colder. He trembled, twisting his body closer to the fire.“The land hit backjust as the old man warned,” Jack shrugged. “Dennis disappeared. Old folks around here believe that swamp plants moved up from the river and dragged him underwater. His body was never found.”“What a stupid story,” laughed Tom. “Plants cant.” Before he had finished speaking, he screamed and fainted (晕倒). The other two boys jumped up with fright, staring at Tom. Suddenly, they burst out laughing. Some green swamp ivy(常春藤) had covered Toms face. It was a while before Tom could appreciate the joke. 62.
