【解析】狼歷來(lái)被世人視為兇殘的動(dòng)物,事實(shí)是否的確如此呢?帶著這一疑問,F(xiàn)arley進(jìn)行了實(shí)地考察,在和狼進(jìn)行了零距離的接觸后, 改變了自己的觀點(diǎn)。本文告訴我們要學(xué)會(huì)根據(jù)事實(shí)說(shuō)話。

B。Farley是政府工作人員。從上下文得知, 他是被派去進(jìn)行調(diào)查和研究狼的習(xí)性的,故選told。

C。根據(jù)下文飛機(jī)把Farley送到了一個(gè)沒有房屋和人的地方, 說(shuō)明了這個(gè)地方不可能是城市,小鎮(zhèn)和村莊故a far place為正確答案。

A。狼吃人的恐怖故事給孤身一人的Farley帶來(lái)的應(yīng)是afraid。

B。因?yàn)镕arley害怕, 所以槍應(yīng)始終不能離身。all the time意為“一直、始終”。

B。根據(jù)下文的描述,狼媽媽給孩子們喂奶,對(duì)孩子們進(jìn)行訓(xùn)練,可見是一位好媽媽,故選good。

C。狼只能獵取食物, 而不能燒食物, 生產(chǎn)食物。get合乎文意,為正確答案。

D。shout at意為“朝……大聲叫喊”;look into意為“調(diào)查、觀察”;laugh at意為“嘲笑……”。這三個(gè)詞組都不符文意。play with意為“和……一起玩!,合文意為正確答案。

C。the nice happy wolf family讓Farley不再害怕,因此也就不再需要槍了,故選擇gun.。

B。因?yàn)樗挠H身體驗(yàn)與他所聽到的相違背,說(shuō)明以前關(guān)于狼的說(shuō)法是不對(duì)的, 故選not true。

10. D。understand意為“了解”合乎文意,為正確答案。

For many people,  there is only one good reason to go to an amusement park: the roller coaster. But why do People go on roller coasters?
"Where else in the world can you scream at the top of your lungs and throw your arms in the air?"  Frank Farley asks. "If you did that in most other places, they'd take you to your parents and probably put you through a psychological evaluation  (心理檢查)."  Farley is a psychologist at Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Roller coasters are often attractive to kids whose lives are stressful or controlled.  "Roller coasters are a way of breaking out of the humdrum (單調(diào) ) of everyday life.  You can let it all go and scream and shout or do whatever you want," Farley says. It has been proved that many adults feel the same way.
Compared with skateboarding, extreme mountain biking, and other adventure sports, riding roller coasters is safe. Parents usually don't mind when kids go on coasters.  Roller coasters also have a way of bringing people together.  Riders share the thrill and adventure of surviving what feels like an extreme experience.
Whether you like to ride a roller coaster may depend on your personality.  Psychologists say that there is a certain type of person that naturally seeks out extreme experiences. "They enjoy things like change, variety, and intensity (強(qiáng)度)," says Farley. "These people are actually attracted to thrills."  He describes such people as having Type-T personalities ("T" stands for thrill).
He also believes that these thrill seekers are more adventurous and creative than other people. Albert Einstein was a Type T. "If nobody liked to seek stimulation (刺激)," he argues, "the human race wouldn't be where it is today."
1. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The disadvantages of roller coasters.
B. The characteristics of roller coasters.
C. Why many people enjoy roller coasters.
D. How people act when riding roller coasters.
2. According to Farley, what will most people feel after riding a roller coaster?
A. Scared.          B. Confident.    C. Nervous.       D. Relaxed.
3. If a person is a Type T, he seems to           .
A. enjoy adventure sports
B. dislike riding roller coasters
C. like popular sports
D. work well with others
4. According to Farley, to our society, people with Type-T personalities are __

I still remember my first day at school in London and I was half-excited and half-frightened. On my way to school I wondered what sort of questions the other boys would ask me and practiced all the answers: “I am nine years old. I was born here but I haven’t lived here since I was two. I was living in Farley. It’s about thirty miles away. I came back to London two months ago.” I also wondered if it was the custom for boys to fight strangers like me, but I was tall for my age. I hoped they would decide not to risk it.

No one took any notice of me before school. I stood in the center of the playground, expecting someone to say “hello”, but no one spoke to me. When a teacher called my name and told me where my classroom was, one or two boys looked at me but that was all.

My teacher was called Mr. Jones. There were 42 boys in the class, so I didn’t stand out there, either, until the first lesson of the afternoon. Mr. Jones was very fond of Charles Dickens and he had decided to read aloud to us from David Copperfield, but first he asked several boys if they knew Dickens’ birthplace, but no one guessed right. A boy called Brian, the biggest in the class, said: “Timbuktu”, and Mr. Jones went red in the face. Then he asked me. I said: “Portsmouth”, and everyone stared at me because Mr. Jones said I was right. This didn’t make me very popular, of course.

“He thinks he’s clever,” I heard Brian say.

After that, we went out to the playground to play football. I was in Brian’s team, and he obviously had Dickens in mind because he told me to go in goal. No one ever wanted to be the goalkeeper.

“He’s big enough and useless enough.” Brian said when someone asked him why he had chosen me.

I suppose Mr. Jones, who served as the judge, remembered Dickens, too, because when the game was nearly over, Brian pushed one of the players on the other team, and he gave them a penalty (懲罰). As the boy kicked the ball to my right, I threw myself down instinctively (本能地) and saved it. All my team crowded round me. My bare knees were injured and bleeding. Brian took out a handkerchief and offered it to me.

“Do you want to join my gang (幫派)?” he said.

At the end of the day, I was no longer a stranger.

1.The writer prepared to answer all of the following questions EXCEPT “          ”.

A. How old are you?

B. Where are you from?

C. Do you want to join my gang?

D. When did you come back to London?

2.We can learn from the passage that           .

A. boys were usually unfriendly to new students

B. the writer was not greeted as he expected

C. Brian praised the writer for his cleverness

D. the writer was glad to be a goalkeeper

3.The underlined part “I didn’t stand out” in paragraph 3 means that the writer was not       .

A. noticeable                       B. welcome                          C. important                         D. foolish

4.The writer was offered a handkerchief because          .

A. he threw himself down and saved the goal

B. he pushed a player on the other team

C. he was beginning to be accepted

D. he was no longer a newcomer
