The science teacher, Mr. Black, had asked his students to study a particular animal. They were
asked to write a short report and then make a 1 in class. Some talked about dogs, others about
horses, and some chose fish. But the most 2 discovery of all was made by little Sophie.
“I found that 3 are terribly bad⁃tempered,” she said for certain.
Everyone smiled, waiting for her to 4 . Then Sophie explained. “ I spent hours 5 flies.
When they flew normally, everything was okay, but when they found a window they would make a noisy
sound. I had always thought they made that noise 6 their wings, but they didnt. With my daddys
binoculars (双筒望远镜), I watched the flies really 7 , and saw that what they were doing was
shouting. They were angry because they 8 fly out of the window. Later, a butterfly passing by the
window tried to 9 them the top of the window was open, but it had no effect at all. The flies just
10 shouting.”
Mr. Black laughed and explained to the class that the flies behaviour had nothing to do with
11 . Instead, it was an example of animals having different levels of 12 . At the end of the
class, Mr. Black asked the students to bring a list of animals in order of how smart they are.
What surprised Mr. Black was that many parents came to the school to 13 the next day,
because their children had listed their parents among the least 14 animals! This, said the
children, was because their parents did nothing but complain.
Mr. Black had to do a lot of explaining to calm the parents down. However, it also helped some of
the parents 15 that although they werent stupid, they didnt often behave very intelligently.

Read the passages and choose the most suitable answer to each question.
A
The alarm went off about half an hour ago, the second time tonight. Its somewhat difficult to figure
out the rules for sure. Here, one bell means “elephant”, two, “rhino” (犀牛), and three and four, I
really cant remember for what, because when youre awoken by bells in the middle of the night, your
first thought wont be “Animal!”. But as soon as I realised it was the rhino alarm, I was running for the
stairs.
A baby African buffalo and a baby rhino stood a couple feet apart, staring at each other. Behind
them, their mothers were looking on with the kind of indifference of mothers everywhere who see their
kids playing a harmless game. Of course, Im the only one watching the animals stare⁃down. Either
everyone else died of a heart attack when the bells went off, or I was the only one in the entire hotel
who didnt turn the alarm switch to off before going to bed.
The Ark, a hotel shaped like the biblical ark (圣经的方舟), lies in the highlands of Kenyas
Aberdare National Park, about 100 kilometres north of Nairobi. At the Arks prow (船首) are huge
windows overlooking a waterhole. Earlier tonight, Id watched a pack of wolves, buffaloes and
elephants. And now, at three or so in the morning, Im down for rhino bells. The first time, 2.5 hours
ago, it was a single black rhino, which came down, got a drink, and left.
Id have been sorry for the lost sleep. Ive already arranged with a guide to take me out at sunrise
for the so⁃called “ should⁃never⁃miss” bird⁃watching, where well get to see 30 species, but really,
how many times in your life will you get to wake up and say, “Wow! Rhino!” Isnt that the definition
of a pretty good night? Last week we went from Uganda into Kenya. Before I left home, I thought Id
be happy with ten elephants and five or six giraffes on the whole trip. I didnt dare to dream the rhino.

B. A rhino and a buffalo were staring at each other.
C. A buffalo was watching its baby play with rhinos.
D. A boat⁃shaped hotel was overlooking a waterhole.

3. What can we learn from the passage?
A. The author likes all the animals.
B. The author only has an interest in rhinos.
C. There are various wild animals near the Ark.
D. The author didnt sleep well during the whole trip.
4. Whats probably the authors attitude towards the bell?
A. It should be turned off when it rings.
B. Its bothering but rewarding.
C. It is a bad way to wake the guests up.
D. It brings visitors a chance to see buffaloes.
B
When a leafy plant is under attack, it doesnt sit quietly. Back in 1983, two scientists, Jack
Schultz and Ian Baldwin, reported that young maple trees getting bitten by insects send out a particular
smell that neighbouring plants can get. These chemicals come from the injured parts of the plant and
seem to be an alarm. What the plants pump through the air is a mixture of chemicals known as volatile
organic compounds, VOCs for short.
Scientists have found that all kinds of plants give out VOCs when being attacked. Its a plants way
of crying out. But is anyone listening? Apparently. Because we can watch the neighbours react.
Some plants pump out smelly chemicals to keep insects away. But others do double duty. They
pump out perfumes designed to attract different insects who are natural enemies to the attackers. Once
they arrive, the tables are turned. The attacker who was lunching now becomes lunch.
In study after study, it appears that these chemical conversations help the neighbours. The damage
is usually more serious on the first plant, but the neighbours, relatively speaking, stay safer because
they heard the alarm and knew what to do.
Does this mean that plants talk to each other? Scientists dont know. Maybe the first plant just
made a cry of pain or was sending a message to its own branches, and so, in effect, was talking to
itself. Perhaps the neighbours just happened to “overhear” the cry. So information was exchanged, but
it wasnt a true, intentional back and forth.
Charles Darwin, over 150 years ago, imagined a world far busier, noisier and more intimate (亲
密的) than the world we can see and hear. Our senses are weak. Theres a whole lot going on.
5. What does a plant do when it is under attack?
A. It makes noises.
B. It gets help from other plants.
C. It stands quietly.
D. It sends out certain chemicals.

6. What does the author mean by “the tables are turned” in Paragraph 3?
A. The attackers get attacked.
B. The insects gather under the table.
C. The plants get ready to fight back.
D. The perfumes attract natural enemies.
7. What can plants do according to the studies of scientists?
A. Predict natural disasters.
B. Protect themselves against insects.
C. Talk to one another intentionally.
D. Help their neighbours when necessary.
8. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. The world is changing faster than ever.
B. The world is more complex than it seems.
C. People have stronger senses than before.
D. People in Darwins time were more imaginative.
Write a passage about wildlife protection.
Step 1: Introduce the dangers faced by wild animals.
Step 2: Find out three ways to deal with the problem.
Step 3: Call on others to take part in the protection.

Recommendation.
Do the tears of animals mean they are crying?
All animals with mobile eyes are equipped with a
tearing system that keeps their eyes lubricated, protecting
their eyes from the elements and so on. So there is a saying
goes, “ to shed crocodile tears” which means to cry when
someone is not really sad or sorry.
03
People tell tales of animals such as elephants and dogs weeping when punished. However, even if
such an animal does shed tears, there is no scientific evidence that the animal is expressing emotion in
doing so. But what about when a baby chimp or ape whimpers and screams as its being separated from
its mother, couldnt we say with some certainty that the animal is crying? While this display does attract
caregiving from the mother, pushing her to feed or protect the baby, it is less clear that what the baby
is feeling is similar to what a human feels when he or she cries.

Dad opened the box and a sweet little dog appeared. Then out of the box jumped a small mass of
golden woolen thing, shouting loudly and joyfully, as if he was asking why he couldnt see the
sunshine for such a long time. Finding that she had a playmate again, Poppy was amazed. She
appreciated her new little playmate, smiling amusedly, barking gently, walking slowly around it and
wagging her tail cheerfully and constantly. “ I dont have to be lonely any more!” thought Poppy to
herself with satisfaction. “But if only my master were at home!”
A few weeks later, the boy arrived home from university. He had missed Poppy and was looking
forward to seeing her. Upon arriving at the door of his home, he was surprised to discover that it was
two dogs that were greeting him, the old dog giving him a big hug and licking him while the little dog
watching him curiously. Despite the chill autumn wind, their home was filled with the warmth of love
and reunion.

V. (for reference)
Wild animals are mans close friends. They not only provide us with fun but also play a key role in
keeping the balance of nature. Unfortunately, they are being over⁃hunted, and some species are dying
out. If it goes on like this, man is to be punished. In order to stay away from the seemingly faraway
disaster, man has to do something. First, effective laws must be passed to give the illegal hunters proper
punishment. Second, we must set up nature reserves to provide the animals with comfortable habitats.
Third, peoples awareness of environment protection should be raised to a higher level.
Only in this way can we achieve a harmonious relationship with wildlife. Therefore, it is high time
we took immediate action.
