A different kind of bird named Puck joined the 44 in 1993.Puck was wonderful.It knew 45 English words than Prudle did-over 1700 words.It got the best 46 of this year and became the new winner. 47 a bird can learn a new language,anybody can do it too.We shouldn't think that 48a new language is so difficult any longer.So 49 on!You can make it when you really take it50 36.A.colors B.names C.kinds D.parts 37.A.example B.report C.idea D.program 38.A.see B.choose C.sell D.act 39.A.gave B.set C.sold D.won 40.A.to B.out C.from D.with 41.A.rich B.angry C.clever D.enjoyable 42.A.oldest B.most C.worst D.biggest 43.A.felt B.appeared C.died D.came 44.A.subject B.culture C.club D.competition 45.A.more B.less C.fewer D.better 46.A.song B.grades C.fact D.reason 47.A.f B.

Locusts are super delicious food for birds,but it is not always an easy job for birds to catch them.It is neither because locusts are good jumpers or runners nor because they are smarter than their enemies.The reason is that the colors of locusts change with the colors of crops().When crops are young,locusts look green.But when autumn comes,locusts change to the yellow and brown color as crops do. Brown bears,tigers and other animals move quietly through forests.They can't be seen easily by their enemies.This is because they have colors similar to the trees.For the same reason,polar bears that live on a land of snow and ice are white.Butterflies and bees living among the flowers are colorful like flowers.Soil insects are mostly dark-colored and they live under the soil()in a dark and wet environment.However, insects with colors different from plants can easily be found and eaten by others.So in order to survive,they have to hide themselves in the daytime and appear only at night. Have you ever noticed some even stranger acts?The ink fish in the sea can send out some very black ink when it faces danger.As the ink spreads over,its enemies will find themselves suddenly in a dark world.At the same time the ink fish immediately swims away.That is how it keeps itself safe though it is not strong at all. 54.It is not easy for birds to catch locusts because A.locusts are good runners B.Jocusts can jump very high C.locusts are smarter than birds D.locusts can change their color 55.According to the passage,most soil insects. A.do not have bright colors B.change their colors with the soil C.do not live in a dark and wet environment D.Eat colorful insects like butterflies and bees 试卷第4页，共8页 56.The ink fish so that its enemies will not see it? A.changes its color B.makes the water around it black C.appears only at night D.hides itself in the sea rocks 57.What is the main idea of this passage? A.Some insects and animals have different skills B.Some insects and animals are clever than we think C.Some insects and animals use colors to protect themselves D.Some insects and animals can get used to the environment easily c Many people say that they have a bad memory,especially when they are older.How can we improve our memory? Many people think that repeating things is the best way to remember them.While this certainly helps short- term memory (remembering a telephone number for a few seconds,for example),psychologists ( aren't sure whether it can help you remember things for very long.The British psychologist E.C Stanford secmed to prove this point when he tested himself on five prayers ()especially for remembering numbers,is grouping the information.The following numbers would be impossible for most of us to remember: 1492178919931848.But look at them in groups. According to experts,there are many ways of training your memory.Many of them involve forming a mental picture of the things to be memorized.One method,which may be useful in learning foreign languages, is to create a picture in your mind connected to a word you want to remember. Another method is to invent a story that includes all the things you want to remember.In experiments, people were asked to remember up to 120 words using this skill,when tested afterwards,they were able to recall 90%of them! However,not all of us are interested in learning long lists of names and numbers just for fun.For those studying a large amount of information,psychologists suggest that the best way to form meaningful connections is to ask yourself lots of questions as you go along.So,if you were reading about a special disease,you would ask yourself questions like:"Do people get it from water?" 58.Which of the following is TRUE about repeating things according to the passage? A.It helps short-term memory for sure. B.It helps to remember things for long. C.It makes remembering things interesting.D.It makes remembering prayers casily. 59.What does the underlined word"them"in Paragraph 3 refer to? A.experts B.ways C.pictures D.languages 60.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A.Creating a picture is useful in leaming Maths. B.Inventing a prayer trains our memory quickly. C.Remembering long numbers is easy for people. D.Asking yourself questions is helpful for the memory. 61.What's the purpose of this passage? A.To show that the writer's memory is bad. B.To know some memory problems. C.To share some ways of improving memory.D.To teach some memory experiments. D The number of Mexican wolves in the United States jumped by nearly 25%last year.That growth is good news for an animal that was in danger of dying out.But not everyone is happy about the news. Long ago Mexican wolves were common all through the Southwest US and northem Mexico.But as people spread across the area,the wolves were caught and killed until they were almost gone. In the 1970s.the US goverment started a program of raising Mexican wolves and releasing()them back into nature.The first wolves were released in 1998,and the program has continued since then.According to the results of the latest count of Mexican wolves,a total of 42 wolf packs were found in the wild,and half of them had pups(幼邀). 试卷第5页，共8页 One change wildlife managers have made recently is placing pups into groups of wild wolves while they are young.The wolves that are returned to nature when they are young seem to be far more successful than wolves who go into the wild for the first time as adults. Not everyone is happy about the increase.For ranchers,who must protect their farm animals from the wolves,the increase is likely to mean more lost animals.Last year,184 farm animals were killed in all.That's the largest number since 1998.Wildlife managers are trying to find out a way to protect both Mexican wolves and farm animals. 62.What does the second paragraph mainly talk about? A.What wolves were like. B.How wolves got their name C.When wolves came to America. D.Why wolves almost died out long ago. 63.How does the writer show us the result of the program's effort? A.By asking questions B.By giving examples. C.By offering numbers. D.By making comparisons. 64.Why do wildlife managers place pups into groups of wild wolves? A.To survey the life of wild wolves. B.To provide enough food for wild wolves. C.To help wolves live successfully in the wild. D.To create a better environment for wild wolves. 65.Where would we read this text? A.In an American diary. B.In a story about animals. C.In an ad about Mexican wolves. D.In a magazine about human and nature. 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题60分） 五、词汇运用（共10小题：每小题1分，计10分） 根据句子意思，用括号中所给汉语提示或英语单词的适当形式填空。（每空一词） 66.The woman is feeling much (ill)than yesterday. 67.
