I had been _36_abroad a couple of times，but I could hardly 37claim to know my way around the continent.38，my knowledge of foreign languages was 39limited to a little college French.I 40hesitated. How would I， unable to speak the language，41 totally familiar with local geography or transportation systems， set up interviews and do 42 research？ It seemed impossible， and with considerable 43 regret， I sat down to write a letter released the 44 assignment. Halfway through， a 45 thought ran through my mind： you cant learn if you dont try. So I 46 accepted the assignment.There were some bad 47 moments. But by the time I finished the trip I was an experienced traveler. And ever since， I have never hesitated to head for even the most 48 remote places，without guides or 49 even advance bookings，confident that somehow I will 50 manage. The point is that the new， the different， is almost by definition 51 scary. But each time you try something，you learn，and as the learning 52 piles up，the world opens to you.Ive learned to ski at 40， and flown up the Rhine River in a 53 balloon. And I know Ill go on doing such things. Its not because Im braver or more daring than others. Im not. But Ill accept worry as another name for 54 challenge and I believe I can 55 accomplish wonders.36. A. aboard B. abroad C. away D. out37. A. claim B. declare C. hope D. deny38. A. Somehow B.

The creatures are North Americas only native ferret species.By the late 1970s， scientists thought that blackfooted ferrets had become extinct in the wild.Over the years， the number of ferrets has mirrored the number of prairie dogs (草原犬鼠) in the area. Prairie dogs make up 90 percent of what ferrets eat. Farmers have long viewed prairie dogs as pests， and used to kill them. At the same time， diseases swept through the prairie dog community and wiped out many of them.As their food supply declined， ferret populations suffered as well. In the 1970s， scientists tried to raise ferrets and introduce them into the wild after they grew up. Their efforts failed， and biologists thought that the animals had become extinct.Then， in 1981， a farmers dog discovered blackfooted ferrets near Meatiest， a town in northwest Wyoming.State wildlife managers trapped as many of the animals as they could. In total， they caught 18. Scientists from the Smithsonian Institutions National Zoological Park in Washington，D.C. then attempted to feed these survivors.The researchers eventually managed to feed seven ferrets. Over many generations， the group and its offspring (后代)have successfully produced more than 4,800 animals.Since then， biologists have introduced ferrets that were raised by people in 12 other places. At least two thirds of these populations seem to be doing well. To know for sure if the reintroductions are working， scientists will have to carefully study the animals and their progress.语篇解读：北美的黑足雪貂曾经濒临灭绝，科学家们想了许多办法使它们的数目得到增加。1.The blackfooted ferrets were once near extinction because.A.a disease swept through the ferretsB.the number of prairie dogs declinedC.most of them had been killed by huntersD.they couldnt adapt to the wild解析：细节理解题。根据文章第二段和第三段第一句话可知，草原犬鼠是黑足雪貂的主要食物，草原犬鼠数量的下降直接威胁了雪貂的生存，因此答案为B。答案：B2.In the 1970s，scientists tried to .A.feed as many prairie dogs as possible for blackfooted ferrets to eatB.persuade the public to keep blackfooted ferrets in their own housesC.kill prairie dogs to keep the balance of natureD.introduce blackfooted ferrets into the wild解析：细节理解题。根据文章第三段第二句可知科学家让雪貂回到大自然中。答案：D3.We can infer from the passage that .A.the population of blackfooted ferrets will increaseB.scientists will fail to save the black footed ferretsC.more blackfooted ferrets will be caught and raised by peopleD.scientists are sure that the reintroductions are working well解析：推理判断题。文章最后一段提到研究者成功地培育出4800多头雪貂，然后把这些雪貂引到12个其他的地方，并且有三分之二的雪貂活得很好，因此可推出雪貂的数目将会增加。答案：A4.What do scientists have to do if they want to know whether the reintroductions are working？A.They have to raise more blackfooted ferrets.B.They have to ask biologists for help.C.They have to study the blackfooted ferrets and their progress.D.They have to introduce blackfooted ferrets to some more places.解析：细节理解题。根据文章最后一段最后一句可知答案为C。答案：C5.What does the passage mainly talk about？A.Blackfooted ferrets are in danger of dying out.B.How to prevent blackfooted ferrets from disappearing.C.What local people have done to protect the blackfooted ferrets.D.Scientists are trying to raise the number of blackfooted ferrets.解析：主旨大意题。文章主要介绍科学家想了许多办法使雪貂的数目得到增加，故D项正确。答案：DBAlzheimers disease affects millions of people around the world.
