In recent years, the black bear population in the US has risen. Forests once cleared for farming have started to grow back and black bears have returned to them. But the bears are finding that their forest habitat has changed. Instead of thick forests covering thousands of acres, bears now have neighbors nearby. Roads, homes, schools, and shopping centers have been built at the edge of their forest home. And with humans and bears trying to share the same space, problems arise.
Black bears usually prefer to avoid people, but their nose may lead them into trouble. Their normal diet includes nuts, insects, and plants. But given the opportunity, they will gladly help themselves to whatever they can find.
With the great sense of smell, the bears can sniff out a tasty treat 2 or 3 miles away. Food left out in a park or backyard is an invitation to dinner. And while raiding (劫掠) a cooler, bird feeder (喂鳥器), trash can, car, or even a home, they can do a lot of damage. When that happens, people get angry. If another solution doesn’t immediately appear, they often want the bears killed.
Bear Aware, Bear Wise, and Bear Smart are trying to keep that from happening. They want people to respect bears, not fear them, and are suggesting ways to reduce the chances of bears stopping by for a snack. They’re convincing (使相信) people that by following some simple steps, it’s possible to live peacefully with our wild neighbors.
小題1:More black bears have appeared in the US because__________.
A．farmers have grown more food
B．forests have increased in the US
C．people stopped killing black bears
D．roads were built nearer to the forests
小題2:We learn from the text that black bears _________.

小題3:The underlined words “sniff out” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”.
A．to express a low opinionB．to find something by chance
C．to refuse something in a proud wayD．to discover something by its smell

小題1:B

D

Weall know about “Brother Sharp” , “King of Calm” and “Brother Buckteeth”----names that netizens(網(wǎng)民) have given those with special characteristics, or who have done something special.
Recently, a new name has been added to that list----“Brother Banner(橫幅)”. What did he do to get the name?
“Brother Banner” is Chen Yihua, a Senior 1 student at Guangzhou No.16 High School. On the afternoon of May 4, he made a banner, dressed in school uniform, and stood outside a Line 1 subway station in Guangzhou.
Chen was protesting(抗議)Guangzhou Metro(地鐵) Company’s renovation(整修) project for the line.
The company was planning to renew 16 stations on the line over three years. It said that the station would be renovated in similar styles, and the cost of the project would be 92.27 million yuan.
The banner that Chen held said: “The special features of Line 1 stations will disappear. The program is also a waste of resources. I hope you will help my protest be signing my subway petition(請(qǐng)?jiān)? against the renovation .”
His action attracted the attention of passers-by. In three days, Chen collected more than 300 signatures(簽名) from the public.
The metro company also noticed Chen, and responded to him, three times, over the following week.
On May 6, the company announced that the project was to replace aging equipment that has been running for a long time, because it had “safety risks”. The public was unsatisfied with the response.
The next day, the company met with Chen and gave further details of the project. Chen remained unconvinced.
The company made a 180-degree turn in its third response to Chen’s protest on May 10.
Zhong Xuejun, spokesman for the company, said the renovation would be based on the principle of saving energy and being economical. It would focus on the old equipment and the look of the stations wouldn’t be changed much.
Finally, Chen’s voice had been heard.
小題1:What do “Brother sharp”, “King of Calm” and “Brother Buckteeth” have in common?
A．They’re handsome.
B．They only exist in the net.
C．They’re characters(角色,特征) of a novel.
D．They have done something special or have special character.
小題2:How many times has the metro company responded？
A．1B．2C．3D．4
小題3:Which of the following is NOT true?
A．“Brother Banner” is a Senior 1 student.
B．“Brother Banner” collected more than 300 signatures in three days.
C．“Brother Banner” has made a difference through his action.
D．“Brother Banner” is not a normal student.

Experts say the temperature in Eyjafjallajokull's hole appears to have fallen to 100C, meaning it is now producing steam, not magma（巖漿）.
But officials warned that it was too early to say whether the eruption was over completely.
Ash clouds from the volcano grounded thousands of flights last month.
Steinunn Jakobsdottir, a geophysicist from the Icelandic Meteorological Office, told the BBC that the volcano was "kind of not active for the moment".
"The history of the volcano is such that it calms down and then it gets energy again," she said.
"There are still earthquakes under the volcano, and the small earthquake is still not quite down to what it was before the eruption."
'Difficult to say'
Magnus Gudmundsson, of Iceland University, flew over the volcano on Sunday and said information from heat cameras showed the temperatures at the crater had fallen below 100C.
But he told the AFP news agency that nothing was promised and that the previous eruption at the volcano had lasted 13 months, from 1821-23.
"It stopped and started again several times with different intervals（間隔）, so it's difficult to say, difficult to give a timeline," he said.
He also said it was impossible to say whether the neighbouring Katla volcano - a much larger mountain - might also erupt.
At the height of its activity, the volcano sent out huge clouds of ash, which led to airlines grounding their planes for fear it could interfere with plane engines.
It was the biggest action of closing airspace in Europe since World War II, and affected at least 10 million passengers worldwide.
小題1:What do expert think Eyjafjallajokull is like now?
A．Magma is still coming out
B．The hole appears about 100 degrees C
C．The eruption was not over
D．It is very cold.
小題2:How do expects know the temperature in Eyjafjallajokull's hole?
A．By taking photosB．By taking its temperature
C．By going close to itD．By driving past it
小題3:What does Steinunn Jakobsdottir think of Eyjafjallajokull?
A．It will erupt again soon
B．It will be sleeping
C．Another mountain might also erupt
D．It’s uncertain
小題4:What do you think the main idea is?
A．the biggest action of closing airspace in Europe
B．the temperature in Eyjafjallajokull's hole
C．The Eyjafjallajokull volcano in Iceland
D．The earthquake in Iceland

There are many famous museums throughout the world where people can enjoy art, Washington, D.C. has the National Gallery of Art(美術(shù)館); Paris has the Louvre; London, the British Museum. Florida International University(FIU) in Miami also shows art for people to see. And it does so without a building, or even a wall for its drawings and paintings.
FIU has opened what it says is the first computer art museum in the United States. You don't have to visit the University to see the art. You just need a computer linked to a telephone.
You can call the telephone number of a University computer and connect your own computer to it. All of the art is stored in the school computer. It is computer art, produced electronically (采用電子手段) by artists on their own computers. In only a few minutes, your computer can receive and copy all the pictures and drawings.、
Robert Shostak is director of the new computer museum. He says he started the museum because computer artists had no place to show their works.
A computer artist could only record his pictures electronically and send the records, or floppy discs(軟盤), to others to see on their computers. He could also put his pictures on paper. But to print good pictures on paper, the computer artist needed an expensive laser(激光) printer.
Robert Shostak says the electronic museum is mostly for art or computer students at schools and universities. Many of the pictures in the museum are made by students. Mr Shostak said the FIU museum will make computer art more fun for computer artists because more people can see it. He says artists enjoy their work much more if they have an audience. And the great number of home computers in America could mean a huge audience for the electronic museum.

When TV news programs report wars or disasters, the editors rarely use the most horrifying pictures of dead or wounded victims because they don’t want to upset their viewers. Even so, viewers are usually warned in advance that they may find some of these scenes disturbing, so they can look away if they choose. But the men and women whose job is to record those scenes－the TV cameramen－h(huán)ave no such choice. It is their duty to witness the horrors of the world and record them, no matter how terrible and unpleasant they may be. Consequently, it is one of the most dangerous, exposed and emotionally taxing jobs the world has to offer.
Today, the demand for their work is rising. The explosion of satellite broadcasting and 24-hour news in recent years has created an almost insatiable (貪得無厭的) demand for TV information. But major broadcasters and the TV news agencies—such as Reuters and WTN－h(huán)ave never had enough staff to meet the worldwide demand for up-to-date pictures, so increasingly they turn to “freelance” TV cameramen.
These freelance cameramen are independent operators tied to no particular organization. They will work for any company which hires them, be it for just a few hours or for several weeks in a war zone. But if the freelance cameraman is injured in the course of the job, the TV company is not responsible for him. The freelancer must survive on his own.
TV will always need hard, vivid moving pictures which are fresh, but these companies feel uncomfortable with large numbers of employees on their books, explains Nick Growing, once foreign editor for Britain Channel 4 News and now a BBC news presenter.
By hiring freelancers, they can buy in the skills they need only when they need them. It also enables them to contract out the risk, he says.
小題1:TV news agencies turn to freelance cameramen in order to           .
A．save expense and avoid risks
B．get free and useful pictures
C．get first-hand information and pictures
D．satisfy the greed of the freelance cameramen
小題2:We can infer from the passage that the freelance cameramen             .
A．have to take a lot of risks in the course of work
B．a(chǎn)re tied to many TV news agencies
C．have better skills than other cameramen
D．need to contract out risks of work for TV companies
小題3:According to this passage, some major broadcasters and TV news agencies            .
A. have employed enough cameramen
B. are not willing to employ many cameramen
C. are very mean to freelancers
C. are responsible for the freelancer if he is injured

The organization representing British universities has expressed concern about the potential effect of tuition fees（學(xué)費(fèi)）after figures showed a drop of more than 6% in student applications with less than a month to go before the deadline for 2013 applications.
Data from the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (Ucas) showed there were 265,784 university applications by UK-based candiates up to 17 Decemeber, 6.3% down on the parallel period in the admissions cycle the year before. While this is less than the 8.4% year-on-uear fall seen in earlier Ucas figures, released in mid-November, the coming January deadline makes it ever more likely that the total 2013 applicant figure will see a second sizeable fall following the introduction of annual fees of up to ￡9,000.
Nicola Dandridge, the chairman of Universities UK, said : “However, we must be concerned about any drops in the numbers applying to university and in particular, we must look closely at how the increase in graduate contributions in England may be affecting the decisions of promising students. However ,the December figures show a drop in numbers across the UK, suggesting that it is not only a question of tuition fees in England putting off from applying.”
A report of the Uncas figures to mid-December shows a 6.5% fall for applicants in England and 11.7% for those in Wales, with smaller drops of 3.9% for Scotland and 0.5% for Nortern Ireland. Scotiish students at home insitiutions pay on fees, while those from Nothern Ireland have fees capped to ￡3,575 for Northern Irish universities.
Dandridge added: “No one should be put off applying to university because of worries about finance.”
“It is important that no one is put off applying to university because they do not have information about the student support available to them. Most new students don’t need to pay directly. There will be more financial support for those from poorer families and everyone will make lower loan repayments thatn they do now once they are in well paid jobs.”
小題1:A drop of more than 6% for 2013 applications is probably the effect of        .
A．the increased tuition fees
B．the approaching deadline
C．the concern from applicants
D．the difficulties with applications
小題2:Compared with the previous year, the fall in student applications is         .
A．3.9%B．6%C．6.3%D．8.4%
小題3:Why is the fall for application the smallest in Soctoland and Northem lreland?
A．Because they have more financial support.
B．Because the tuition is much cheaper for them.
C．Because the education is better there.
D．Because the universities are free for them.
小題4:Which of the following is true?
A．The application for universities is on a rise continuously.
B．The fall for applications is due to family problems.
C．The education in Scotland and Northern Ireland is worse.
D．The rise of tuition fees has an effect on applications.
小題5:The last paragraph tells us that        .
A．everyone should apply to university
B．students may get financial supports
C．lower loan repayments is unavailable
D．most new students will not pay fees
