Part II Reading Comprehension (30 marks)
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.
A
Last week saw the end of a community tradition in Three Forks, Montana. The Mantles, a local family that raises horses, held their last annual horse drive. The extended Mantle family has been in the horse business for more than a century.
For the past 11 years, the Mantles have rounded up 300 horses and driven them from their winter range to the 500-acre Mantle Ranch. There, the horses are sold or rented as trail horses for parks and dude ranches (度假牧场).The journey covers 35 miles and takes about three days.
The Three Forks community came together each year to see the event. Some even joined in the drive as horse handlers. People from around the country also went to watch this tradition honoring the Old West.
"Most people can't live with their neighbors in the world," Kail Mantle tells NBC News Montana. "We can't live without ours."
In the Old West, or the American frontier in the 1800s, horses were important for transportation and farm work. But in the modern world, the business of raising horses often costs more money than it earns. That's why the Mantle family is shutting down its company and selling its ranch.
Kail Mantle and his wife, Renee, started their own company, Montana Horses, in 1995 with 14 horses. The Mantles supplied horses to Yellowstone National Park and many ranches in the area.
Many of the Mantles' horses will be sold to their former customers. Kail and Renee now plan to raise cattle and perhaps go on a sailing trip around the world.
People in Three Forks will miss the horse drive. They see this last run as the end of an era. Other ranches
and horse farms in the area are closing as well. A1 Carr, who has joined in the Mantles' drive for the past 10 years, tells the Reuters News Agency, "The Old West is disappearing right before our eyes."
36. The final horse drive refers to the fact that______.
A. the Mantles sell their horses for the winter
B. the Mantles bring their horses to the market
C. the Mantles took part in the horse-riding event
D. the Mantles drove their horses to a new place
37. From what Kai said, we can infer that_____.
A. his family liked to live with others
B. most people couldn't live with a foreign neighbor
C. his family expected a foreign neighbor
D. neighbors from different countries can't live together
38. Why did the Mantle family give up raising horses?
A. Because they had no money to buy new horses.
B. Because they couldn't earn money from it.
C. Because they planned to sail around the world.
D. Because they would raise cattle instead of horses.
39. The last paragraph implies that_____.
A. the Old West is an end of American history
B. the final horse drive means the end of a family
C. history is just going by quickly
D. westerners took horse farms as a symbol of wealth
40. The main idea of the passage is about ______.
A. a family ends its business of farms
B. the last ranches finally disappeared
C. the Old West is coming to an end
D. a family holds its last annual horse drive
B
These days, there are very few wild animals left in the UK.
gone. The bears have been hunted to extinction. Fortunately,
badgers (獾) --- Oh, well, actually, not for long as the British
just decided to kill them too! But why?
Badgers are fascinating creatures. The black and white mammals live underground in “setts”, which they dig out of the earth. They are extremely brave, fighting off larger animals such as bears and wolves. The problem is that some badgers carry “Bovine Tuberculosis” (BTB), an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium Bovis (M. Bovis) which can cause TB in some other animals, including cattle.
For farmers, this is a serious issue. In 1998 in the UK, almost 6,000 cows were killed to control the disease. And in 2010, more than 30,000 animals were destroyed. It’s expensive too. Bovine TB costs the UK about £100 million per year. And some believe that the disease could end up costing the economy £9 billion over the next 40 years if nothing is done about it.
Experts say that badgers are responsible for about 50% of the infected cattle. So, after much debate, the
The wolves have there are a few government has
government has agreed to a badger cull (杀戮). This will mean about 30,000 of the innocent creatures will be wiped out to fight the disease. Environment Secretary Caroline Spelman admitted that there was “great strength of feeling” about it, but said, “I believe this is the right way forward.”
Of course, many are against the measure, including conservationists and animal rights activists. They claim that killing the badgers in controlled zones wouldn’t work because badgers from neighboring areas would simply move into the empty setts and become infected too. Furthermore, they believe that the way cattle are raised intensively, and transported around to lots of different farms during their lives is probably the biggest cause of the spread of the disease.
Most ordinary people are against the measure too. A survey suggests about two-thirds are against killing the badgers, with majorities against killing them regardless of age, region and gender. One of the alternatives to the cull involves using vaccine (疫苗) on badgers. However, this costs an average of £2,250 per year per square kilometer. Trapping and shooting badgers costs £2,500 per year, but shooting free-running badgers only costs about £200 per year (per square kilometer).
So, with that in mind, it’s easy to see how the government arrived at their decision. Money talks!
41. Why does the government want to kill the badgers?
A. Because there is no other choice to cut the spread of the disease.
B. Because badgers carry TB, a disease which can infect other animals.
C. Because they almost wiped out an entire population of cattle.
D. Because it might be an effective way to fight TB at the least expense.
42. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Some people object to culling because it costs much more to trap and shoot badgers.
B. In the following four decades, £9 billion will be spent on TB.
C. Based on the survey, people of different age groups, regions and both genders are against killing the badgers.
D.Caroline Spelman thought badgers should be culled despite people’s strong reaction.
43. Who is strongly for killing the badgers according the passage?
A. The government
C. Conservationists
A. Supportive B. Critical
B. Most ordinary people D. Animal rights activists C. Objective D. Unconcerned 44. What is the author’s attitude toward government’s decision? 45. Which is the best title for the passage? A. the Control of TB C. Badger Danger B. the Voice of the Badgers D. the Threat of the Badgers

Two friends have an argument that breaks up their friendship forever, even though neither one can remember how the whole thing got started. Such sad events happen over and over in high schools across the country. In fact, according to an official report on youth violence, "In our country today, the greatest threat to the lives of children and adolescents is not disease or starvation or abandonment, but the terrible reality of violence". Given that this is the case, why aren't students taught to manage conflict the way they are taught to solve math problems, drive ears, or stay physically fit?
First of all, students need to realize that conflict is unavoidable. A report on violence among middle school and high school students indicates that most violent incidents between students begin with a relatively minor insult. For example, a fight could start over the fact that one student eats a peanut butter sandwich each
lunchtime. Laughter over the sandwich can lead to insults, which in turn can lead to violence. The problem isn't in the sandwich, but in the way students deal with the conflict.
Once students recognize that conflict is unavoidable, they can practice the golden rule of conflict resolution: stay calm. Once the student feels calmer, he or she should choose words that will calm the other person down as well. Rude words, name-calling, and accusations only add fuel to the emotional fire. On the other hand, soft words spoken at a normal sound level can put out the fire before it explodes out of control.
After both sides have calmed down, they can use another key strategy for conflict resolution: listening. Listening allows the two sides to understand each other. One person should describe his or her side, and the other person should listen without interrupting. Afterward, the listener can ask non-threatening questions to clarify the speaker's position. Then the two people should change roles.
Finally, students need to consider what they are hearing. This doesn't mean trying to figure out what's wrong with the other person. It means understanding what the real issue is and what both sides are trying to accomplish. For example, a shouting match over a peanut butter sandwich might happen because one person thinks the other person is unwilling to try new things. Students need to ask themselves questions such as these: How did this start? What do I really want? What am I afraid of? As the issue becomes clearer, the conflict often simply becomes smaller. Even if it doesn't, careful thought helps both sides figure out a mutual solution.
There will always be conflict in schools, but that doesn't mean there needs to be violence. After students in Atlanta started a conflict resolution program, according to Educators for Social Responsibility, “64 percent of the teachers reported less physical violence in the classroom; 75 percent of the teachers reported an increase in student cooperation; and 92 percent of the students felt better about themselves”. Learning to resolve conflicts can help students deal with friends, teachers, parents, bosses, and coworkers. In that way, conflict resolution is a basic life skill that should be taught in schools across the country.
46. This article is mainly about ________.
A. the lives of school children B. the cause of arguments in schools
C. how to analyze youth violence D. how to deal with school conflicts
47. From Paragraph 2 we can learn that ________.
A. violence is more likely to occur at lunchtime
B. a small conflict can lead to violence
C. students tend to lose their temper easily
D. the eating habit of a student is often the cause of a fight
48. Why do students need to ask themselves the questions stated in Paragraph 5?
A. To find out who is to blame. B. To get ready to try new things.
C. To make clear what the real issue is. D. To figure out how to stop the shouting match.

Section A (10 marks)
Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.
Write NO MORE THAN THRER WORDS for each answer.
The fast development of Internet makes it convenient for people to have access to the latest information all over the world, which broadens people's horizons . However, sometimes the Internet is abused by some to spread rumors (谣言) on purpose, resulting in side effect on people's life. Therefore, The Internet Society of China released a written proposal last Monday which demanded of Internet companies and websites to strengthen self-discipline and prevent the spread of online rumors.
Three major websites in China voiced their solutions Tuesday to fight against online rumors in response to the warning on Monday.
Chiefs of sina.com, baidu.com and qq.com have promised the government that they will firmly cooperate with relevant departments to deal with the online spreading of rumors, saying they will improve self-management and take effective measures toward this goal.
Microblogging websites should not be a hotbed for spreading of rumors, said a chief of sina.com, which operates the country's most popular microblogging site Weibo.com.He said Sina was making efforts to control the release of contents on Weibo.com and improve its ability to find out and remove rumors posted on it.
Weibo.com and another major Chinese microblogging site qq.com stopped their comment functions from March 31 to April 3 after they were punished for allowing rumors to spread.
A chief from Baidu.com said it was calling off illegal and fake(虚假)information in its search results and it would further increase technical and manpower investment to remove disinformation.
The website qq.com is learning from the past experience and bettering the safety strategy for its microblogging service to further prevent the spreading of online rumors through microblogging sites, said an unnamed chief from qq.com.
The measure has received widespread support from users and now people can enjoy a relative clean and safe net environment.
