M. when nine-year-old Glenn Kreamer awoke to the smell of burning. Except for the cracking(爆裂声)of flames somewhere below, there was not a sound in the two-storey house at Baldwin Long Island.With his father away on night duty at a local factory, Glenn was worried about the safety of his mother, his sister Karen,14 and his 12-year-old brother Todd. He ran downstairs through the smoke-filled house to push and pull at Karen and Todd until they sat up. Then he helped each one through the house to the safety of the garden. There, his sister and brother, taking short and quick breaths and coughing, fell down onto the lawn.The nine-year-old boy raced back into the house and upstairs to his mothers room .He found it impossible to wake her up. Mrs. Kreamer, a victim of the smoke, was unconscious(昏厥的),and there was nobody to help Glenn carry her to the garden .But the boy remained calm and ,as a fireman said later, “acted with all the self-control of a trained adult.”On the bedroom telephone, luckily still working, Glenn called his father and, leaving Mr. Kreamer to telephone the fire brigade and ambulance(救护车) service, got on with the task of saving his mother.First he filled a bucket with water from the bathroom and threw water over his mother and her bed. Then, with a wet cloth around his head he went back to the garden.He could hear the fire engine coming up, but how would the firemen find his mother in the smoke-filled house where flames had almost swallowed up the ground floor?Grasping firmly a ball of string(线) from the garage, Glenn raced back into the house and dashed upstairs to his mothers room. Tying one end of the string to her hand he ran back, laying out the string as he went, through the hall and back out into the garden.Minutes later he was telling fire chief John Coughlan: “The string will lead you to mother.” Mrs. Kreamer was carried to safety as the flames were breaking through her bedroom floor.79. Why did Glenn run downstairs first?A. He wanted to find out what was happening.B. He was worried about his mothers safety.C. He wanted to save his sister and brother.D. He went to see if his father had come back from work.80. Who called the fire brigade and ambulance service? A. Glenn. B. Glenns father. C. Glenns sister. D. Glenns neighbor. 81. Glenn saved his family because_.A. his father had taught him to do so on the phoneB. he had learned something about first aidC. he had dealt with the emergency(突发事件) calmly and wiselyD. he had followed his mothers instructionsDIt is reported that conservation(环保) groups in North America have been arguing about the benefits and dangers of wolves. Some groups believe wolves should be killed. Other people believe wolves must be protected so that they will not disappear from the wilderness(荒野). For Killing WolvesIn Alaska, the wolf almost disappeared a few years ago, because hunters were killing hundreds of them for sport. However, laws were passed to protect the wolves from sportsmen and people who catch the animals for their fur. So the wolf population has greatly increased. Now there are so many wolves that they are destroying their own food supply.A wolf naturally eats animals in the deer family. People in the wilderness also hunt deer for food. Many of the animals have been destroyed by the very cold winters recently and by changes in the wilderness plant life. When the deer cant find enough food, they die.If the wolves continue to kill large numbers of deer, their prey(猎物)will disappear some day. And the wolves will, too. So we must change the cycle of life in the wilderness to balance the ecology(生态).If we killed more wolves, we would save them and their prey from dying out. Wed also save some farm animals. In another northern state, wolves attack cows and chickens for food. Farmers want the government to send biologists to study the problem. They believe it necessary to kill wolves in some areas and to protect them in places where there is a small wolf population. Against Killing WolvesIf you had lived long ago, you would have heard many different stories about the dangerous wolf. According to most stories, hungry wolves often kill people for food. Even today, the stories of the “big bad wolf” will not disappear. But the fact is wolves are afraid of people, and they seldom travel in areas where there is a human smell. When wolves eat other animals, they usually kill the very young, or the sick and injured. The strongest survive. No kind of animal would have survived through the centuries if the weak members had lived. And that has always been a law of nature.Although some people say it is good sense to kill wolves, we say it is nonsense! Researchers have found wolves and their prey living in balance. The wolves keep the deer population from becoming too large, and that keeps a balance in the wilderness plant life.The real problem is that the areas where wolves can live are being used by people. Even if wilderness land is not used directly for human needs, the wolves cant always find enough food. So they travel to the nearest source, which is often a farm. Then there is danger. The “big bad wolf” has arrived! And everyone knows what happens next. 82. According to the passage, some people in North America favor killing wolves for all the following reasons EXCET that . A. there are too many wolvesB. they kill large numbers deerC. they attack cows and chickens for foodD. they destroy the wilderness plant life83. Some people are against killing wolves because . A. wolves help to keep the ecological balance in the wildnessB. there is too small a wolf population in the wildernessC. there are too many deer in the wildernessD. wolves are afraid of people and never attack people 84. According to those against killing wolves, when wolves eat other animals, .A. they never eat strong and healthy onesB. they always go against the law of natureC. they might help this kind of animals survive in natureD. they disturb the ecological balance in the wilderness 85. The last sentence And everyone knows what happens next implies that in such cases .A. farm animals will be in danger and have to be moved awayB. wolves will kill people and people will in turn kill themC. wolves will find enough food sources on farmsD. people will leave the areas where wolves can liveEThe repairman told me, “No charge. Professor Pan! Were friends.” “Id rather pay.” I replied. “If its free I cant afford it!”Chinese often refuse payment for professional services, insisting, “Were friends now!” But then they show up later to ask me to tutor them in English, or get them into an American university, and I wish Id have just paid the 30 yuan I owed them in the first place!According to the Americans “Theres no free lunch,” meaning, theres a price for everything, and Im always looking around to figure out what this means.Many of our neighbors have given us fruit or flowers or costly teas, never asking anything in return. For years, a bicycle repairman has repeatedly refused to let me pay him. “Wait until you have something major to fix!” he insists.I mentioned to a peasant friend that I wished I had a stone mill(磨)to grind flour for bread. A month later he showed up with a beautiful mill that hed had his uncle in the countryside carve from a solid block of granite.Chinese generosity is a real education for Americans like me, who would rather avoid social entanglements(纠缠)and just hand over the money. But cash cant compensate (补偿) for the greatest giftfriendship.When an American saw some of my friends sitting on bamboo stools under the trees, drinking tea, he said, “They must have nothing better to do.” “Actually,” I said, “they are professors, with plenty to do. But probably youre right in saying that, at this moment, they have nothing better to do. And neither do I!”And I joined the group. We chatted about tea and Chinese cooking and how much my boys have grown since we arrived. One man said, “They were pocket-sized when you came here. Now theyre taller than you. How time flies!”How life flies. And Chinese are smart enough to share what they know. They cannot keep. They freely give off their time, never too busy to help a friend. And they are teaching me, slowly, to both give and receive.So the next time someone says, “No charge. Were friends!” I will thank them heartily. But if they show up later asking me to tutor them in English. Ill make sure they tutor my son in Chinese as well, because theres still no free lunch.86.

Because he thought it natural to pay for others service. D. Because he didnt want to help others in return.87. The underlined wor
