But there are1than 140,000 red squirrels left now and most of them are in Scotland. However, grey squirrels are now so common that many people2them. They can hunt and kill them legally (合法的).The two types of squirrels look similar. They both have a long3, which helps the squirrel to jump from tree to tree, and the same large eyes, small ears and powerful back legs.4, the grey squirrel has a clear advantage (优势) over the red. The red squirrel has a headandbody length of 19 to 23 cm and a tail length of 15 to 20 cm. But the grey squirrel is a5animal. The headandbody length is between 23 and 30 cm. This6allows (允许) them to store more fat and7them to live in a hard winter.So why is the number of red squirrels smaller than that of grey squirrels? Size is one reason, but there are others. Red squirrels live high up in8, while grey squirrels spend more of their time on the ground. This means the missing of forests greatly influences the red squirrels population. Another reason for the grey squirrels success (成功) is its9to get food easily from people. Like the fox, the grey squirrel10live in towns and cities. The other problem for the red squirrel is illness, it is fatal (致命的) to them.（1）A . later B . fewer C . more D . less （2）A . dislike B . like C . watch D . find （3）A . head B . tail C . nose D . mouth （4）A .

Buses are often convenient（便利的）for the people who live or work in the city center. Passengers can avoid heavy traffic and not have to pay for the parking. However, taking the bus is just a necessary but boring part of life: they get on the bus, pay for it and sit or find a place to stand when it is crowded. Everyone seems sad and bored.In Latin America, however, bus trips can be wonderful. For a start, films are showed on the buses between cities for passengers to have fun along the journeys. Local buses do not show films, but drivers usually turn on the radio and it can be great for passengers to listen to songs and get relaxed.Even better than films and music are the sights and sounds on the buses. Local buses always go to parts of the town that passengers would not visit by themselves. There passengers can see shops that they have never heard about. And they can also see other cultures of the town from the windows of the buses.Besides, passengers luggage（行李）is also interesting. It is common to see a happy dogs head getting out of somebodys bag or a lovely chicken“speaking cheerfully”under somebodys arm. Once on a bus in Peru, a farmer even tied a sheep to the top of the bus. It was quite surprising.In all, taking the bus in Latin America is really fun and unforgettable.（1）According to the passage, in the UK, how to passengers probably feel on the buses?

For no clear reason you cannot help yourself from humming or singing a tune by Lady Gaga.To a psychologist, the most interesting thing about earworms is that they show a part of our mind that is clearly outside of our control. Earworms arrive without permission and refuse to leave when we tell them to. They are parasites (寄生虫) living in a part of our minds.If you have got an earworm you can suffer an attack of it simply by someone mentioning the tune, without having to hear it. This proves that earworms are a part of long-term memory. Humans have an inner ear, for remembering phone numbers, for instance. When it gets infected with earworms, rather than review our plans for the day, or lists of things to remember, the inner ear gets stuck on a few short bars of music or a couple of phrases from a song. A part of us that we normally do not have to think about, that should just do what we ask, has been turned against us, upsetting us with a request that we never asked for. The mind is an inner world which we do not have complete knowledge of, or have control over.Fortunately psychology can provide some advice on how to deal with an uncontrollable mind. Consider the famous dont think of a white bear problem, which tells you to try not to think about white bears, or to do something else, to avoid both thinking of the white bear and not thinking of the white bear. For earworms, the solution may be the same. Our inner ear has become infected with an earworm. This is a part not under our control, so just sending in instructions to shut up is unlikely to be of much help (and has been shown to make it worse). Much better is to employ the inner ear in another task. If your mind is poisoned by Brittany Spears Toxic, for instance, then try singing Kylie Minogues Cant Get You out Of My Head. Let me know if it works!（1）According to the passage, earworms are _.A . songs that keep going round in our mindB . worms that live in a part of our brainC . tunes by pop singers like Lady GagaD . parasites clearly under our control（2）Which of the following statements is TRUE?A . Singing songs may get earworms out of your headB . Earworms are used for keeping long-term memoryC . Humans do not have complete control over their mindD . You wont suffer from earworms unless you hear the song.（3）What does “it” in the last paragraph refer to?A . The instruction to shut up your mind.B . Dont think of the white bear”problem.C . Kylie Minogues Cant Get You out Of My HeadD . Using the earworm-infected inner ear in another task.（4）What is the passage mainly about?A . The causes and influences of earworms.B . What earworms are and how to deal with them.C . How to clear earworms out of your head.D . The relation between earworms and popular songs.三、 选词填空（词汇运用） (共1题；共10分)6. （10分）选词填空。present, one, start the day well, a few packets, keep away（1）This will help us _. （2）An apple a day _ the doctor _. （3）We also want to buy _ of salt. （4）It is her birthday today.
