The Cuban iguana(大蜥蜴) is a species of lizard（蜥蜴） of the iguana family． It is the largest of the West Indian rock iguanas, one of the most endangered groups of lizards． This species with red eyes and a thick tail is one of the largest lizards in the Caribbean．

The Cuban iguana is primarily herbivorous; 95% of its diet consists of the leaves, flowers and fruits from as many as 30 plant species, including the seaside rock bush and various grasses．However, Cuban iguanas occasionally consume animal matter, and individuals have been observed eating the dead flesh of birds, fish and crabs, The researchers wrote that quite a few people on Isla Magueyes could have caused this incident．

The Cuban iguana is distributed throughout the rocky southern coastal areas of mainland Cuba and its surrounding islands with a wild population booming on Isla Magueyes, Puerto Rico. It is also found on the Cayman Islands of Little Cayman and Cayman Brac, where a separate subspecies occurs. Females guard their nest sites and often nest in sites half destroyed by Cuban crocodiles. To avoid the attack from them, the Cuban iguana often makes its home within or near prickly-pear cacti （仙人掌）.

In general the species is in decline, more quickly on the mainland than on the outlying islands． One of the reasons for their decline is habitat destruction caused by the over consuming of farm animals, housing development, and the building of tourist resorts on the beaches where the animals prefer to build their nests． Although the wild population is in decline, the numbers of iguanas have been sharply increased as a result of captive-breeding（圈養(yǎng)） and other conservation programs．

1.The underlined word "herbivorous" （Paragraph 2） probably means ．

A． dangerous B． gentle

C．flesh-eating D． plant-eating

2.Why does the Cuban iguana build its nest near prickly-pear cacti?

A． To keep itself cool．

B． To avoid crocodiles' attack．

C． To stay away from people．

D．To get the food easily．

3.How many reasons are mentioned for the habitat destruction?

A． Two． B．Five． C. Four． D． Three．

4.What's the author's purpose of writing the text?

A． To give us a brief introduction to the Cuban iguana．

B． To show he is concerned about the Cuban iguana．

C． To explain reasons for the Cuban iguana's decline．

D． To draw people's attention to the endangered Cuban iguana．

There are stock markets (股票市場) in large cities in many countries. Stock markets in Paris,

London, Tokyo, Shanghai and New York are among the largest and most well-known. The stock, also called stock exchange, is a place where people can buy or sell shares of a factory or company. And each share means certain ownership(所有權(quán)) of a factory or company.

Different people go to stock markets. Some are rich, who want to get more money than they

have. Others are not very rich, who buy stocks to try to become rich. Still others buy stocks as

part of their plan to save money.

Of course, investing (投資) money in the stock market is not the safest way to make money.

No one can tell exactly whether the shares will be doing well. The factory or company may

do badly. Then the stocks will go down, and the investors will lose money. The stock may go up or down for a number of untold reasons. Everyone wants the stock to go up, but sometimes even if a factory or company does a good job, the stock may still go down.

Going to the stock market is often like gambling (賭博). All want to make money by

“gambling’ in the stock market. Factories and companies that need money are pleased that so many people are ready to “gamble”. Indeed, the stock market is an attractive(吸引人的) but complex part of the business world.

1.If you are a good investor, ________ in the stock market.

A. you can always make money

Are morning people born or made? In my case it was definitely made. In my early 20s, I hardly went to bed before midnight, and I would always get up late the next morning.

But after a while I couldn’t ignore the high relationship between success and rising early. On those rare occasions where I did get up early, I noticed that my productivity (效率) was always higher. So I set out to become a habitual early riser. But whenever my alarm went off, my first thought was always to stop that noise and go back to sleep. Eventually some sleep research showed that my strategy was wrong.

The most common wrong strategy is this: supposing you’re going to get up earlier, you’d better go to bed earlier. It sounds very reasonable, but will usually fail.

There are two main schools (流派) of thought on sleep patterns. One is that you should go to bed and get up at the same time every day. The second school says you should go to bed when you’re tired and get up when you naturally wake up. However, I have found both are wrong if you care about productivity. If you sleep at fixed hours, you’ll sometimes go to bed when you aren’t sleepy enough. You’re wasting time lying in bed awake.

My solution is to combine both methods. I go to bed when I’m sleepy and get up with an alarm clock at a fixed time. So I always get up at the same time (in my case 5 a.m.), but I go to bed at different times every night.

However, going to bed only when I’m sleepy, and getting up at a fixed time every morning are my ways. If you want to become an early riser, you can try your own.

1.According to the passage, the underlined phrase refers to ________.

A. people who stay up until the next morning

B. people who get up early in the morning

C. people who feel sleepy in the morning

D. people whose productivity is the lowest in the morning

2.Why did the author want to become a habitual early riser?

A. Because he / she wanted to have more sleep time.

B. Because he / she wanted to do morning exercise.

C. Because he / she wanted to test which school is better?

D. Because he / she found that the productivity was higher.

3.The author experienced all the following EXCEPT ________.

A. going to bed after midnight

B. asking scholars for advice on sleeping habits

C. getting up early occasionally

D. pressing off the alarm to go on sleeping

4.What’s the author’s sleep pattern?

A. Going to bed early and getting up early.

B. Going to bed late and getting up late.

C. Going to bed when sleepy and getting up at a fixed early time.

D. Going to bed early and getting up late.

5.The passage is mainly about ________.

A. main schools of thought on sleep patterns

B. how to have a good sleep

C. wrong strategies for getting up early

D. how to become an early riser

Where we live, on the eastern shore of Maryland, the gentle waters run in and out like fingers slimming at the tips.

The Canada geese know this place, as do the white swans and the ducks. In autumn, they come home for the winter. Once or twice each year, snow and frozen rain move into the area. When this happens, if the river is at its narrowest, there is a freeze which hardens the water to ice.

One morning, a friend of mine set the breakfast table beside the huge window, which overlooked the Tred Avon River. Suddenly she leaned forward and cried out, “There is a goose out there.”

We saw the figure of a large Canada goose, very still, its wings folded tight to its sides, its feet frozen into the ice.

Then from the dark skies, she saw a line of swans. They floated from the top of the sky downward and at last landed on the ice. My friend was on her feet now, with one hand against her mouth, unbelieving. As the swans surrounded the frozen goose, she feared that life it still had might be pecked(啄) out by those great swan bills.

Instead, those bills began to work on the ice. The long necks were lifted and curved down, again and again. It went on for a long time. At last, the goose’s head was lifted. Its body was pulled. Then the goose was free and stood on the ice. And the swans stood in the air watching. Then, as if it had cried, “I cannot fly.” Four of the swans came down around it. Their powerful beaks chipped off the ice held in the feathers. Slowly, the goose spread its wings as far as they would go, and moved slowly into the sky.

This is a true story. I just think of it in the bad moment, and from it comes only one hopeful question: If so for birds, why not for man?

1.Which would be the best title for the passage?

A. Why Not for Man? B. Graceful Swans

C. Swans’ Brave Act D. I Just Couldn’t Believe It!

2.What happened to the Canada goose?

A. It was deserted by other geese.

B. It was stuck in the ice.

C. It was wounded and couldn’t fly.

D. It was lost in the water.

3.At first the author’s friend was worried that________.

A. the swans would not help the Canada goose

B. she didn’t care about this matter any more

C. the swans wouldn’t identify with the Canada goose

D. the swans would peck the Canada goose to death

4.What did the swans do when they saw the Canada goose couldn’t fly?

A. They chipped off the ice held in its feathers.

B. They waited patiently for the ice held in its feathers to melt.

C. They came down and lifted it up to the sky together.

D. They stayed with it and protected it.
