A

It was late fall. The Indians in a small village in South Dakota asked

their new leader if the coming winter was going to be cold.

Since he was a leader in a modern society, he had never been taught the

old secrets. When he looked at the sky, he could

n’t tell what the winter

was

going

to

be

like.

However,

to

be

on

the

safe

side,

he

told the

villagers

that

the

winter

was

going

to

be

cold.

He

also

said

they

should

collect

firewood

to be prepared.

But, being a responsible leader, after several days, he got an idea. He

went to the phone booth (

电话亭

), called the National Weather Service and

asked, “Is the coming winter going to be cold?”

“It looks like this winter is going to be quite cold,” the man at the

weather service replied. So the leader went back and told the villagers to

prepare more firewood.

A week later, he called the National Weather Service again. “Does it

still look like it is going to be a very cold winter?” “Yes,” the man at

the National Weather

Service again replied, “it’s going to be a very cold

winter

.”

Two weeks later, the leader called the National Weather Service again.

“Are you quite sure that the winter is going to be very cold?”

“Quite sure,” the man replied. “It’s looking more and more like it

is going to be one of the coldest winters we’ve ever

seen.”

“How can you be so sure?” the leader asked.

The

weatherman

replied,

“The

Indians

are

collecting

a

lot

of

firewood.”

21. How did the earlier leaders of the Indians know the weather?

A. They depended on the old secrets they had learned.

B. They asked the National Weather Service for help.

C. They got the information from the phone booth.

D. They used the knowledge they learned in modern society.

22. Why did the new leader call the National Weather Service?

A. To tell them the weather for the coming winter.

B. To thank them for telling him the weather.

C. To ask them for advice on collecting firewood.

D. To know the exact details of the weather for the coming winter.

23. What might be the best title for the text?

A. A Cold Winter

B. The Old Secrets

C. A Clever New Leader

D. The National Weather Service

B

The whales we know today are large, fish-like animals that only live in

the

sea.

But

the

ancestors

of

these

underwater

animals

had

legs

to

carry

them

on land. Now, scientists working in South America have found fossils (

化

石

)

of

a

four-legged

whale.

The

scientists

believe

it

lived

about

43

million

years ago.

Current Biology reported the findings. They wrote that a team found the

fossils eight years ago in a desert area of southern Peru. Scientists have

been studying them.

The four-

legged whale is called Peregocetus pacificus. It means “the

travelling

whale

that

reached

the

Pacific

Ocean”

in

Latin.

It

was

an

ancestor

of

whales

that

were

amphibious

(

两栖的

)

—

they

had

the

ability

to

live

both

on land and in water.

The fossils show that the first such animals appeared about 50 million

years

ago.

They

lived

in

some

areas

making

up

India

and

Pakistan

at

present.

The animals were about four meters long. They were able to carry their own

weight and could walk on land.

Scientists believe the Peregocetus spent most of its time in the water,

but

might

have

climbed

onto

the

rocky

coast

to

rest

or

give

birth.

The

fossils

show that the animal’s hands and feet had small hooves (蹄

) and their toes

were connected to help with swimming.

Olivier

Lambert

is

a

scientist

at

the

Royal

Belgian

Institute

of

Natural

Sciences

in

Brussels.

He

says

the

fossils

provide

important

information

about

how

these

early

whales

developed

and

travelled.

Finding

it

in

Peru

shows

the

whales

spread

from

South

Asia

to

North

Africa,

then

crossed

the

South

Atlantic

to reach the Americas.

The scientists say the newly-found fossils show clearly that the whale

also

had

good

swimming

skills.

And

the

whale

moved

in

similar

ways

to

modern

amphibious animals.

24. Where did four-legged whales probably live?

①In India.

②In Pakistan.

③In Brussels.

④In Peru.

A. ①②③

B. ①②④

C. ②③④

D. ①③④

25. What do we know about the Peregocetus?

A. It could live both in water and on land.

B. It finally moved to North Africa and died out there.

C. It first appeared about 40 million years ago.

D. Its hands and feet could help it hunt for food.

26. What is the value of the newly-found fossils?

A. They show why whales needed to live on land.

B. They show how whales developed swimming skills.

C. They show when amphibious animals came into being.

D. They show early whales’ development and travelling.

Students at Beijing’s Yucai High School have to be very careful when

playing

football

on

the

school’s

field.

That’s

because

there

is

a

100-year-old tree growing in the middle of it. And keeping their eye on the

ball too much can result in a painful collision (

撞击

).

Building a football field around a tree sounds pretty stupid. But the

school had no choice. It’s reported that there are

historic (

有历史意义

的

)

buildings

all

around

Yucai

High

School,

and

this

was

the

only

space

that

could be used for a football field. Before starting working on the field,

the

school

did

ask

to

have

the

tree

moved

and

planted

somewhere

else.

However,

they

were

told

that

it

was

hundreds

of

years

old,

and

that

it

was

a

national

treasure. Having it moved and planted somewhere else was too risky (

有风

险的

)

—

they

might

damage

or

kill

the

tree.

So

they

were

left

with

no

choice

but to build the field around it.

Interestingl

y, Yucai High School is built on the grounds of Beijing’s

Royal

Gardens

of

the

Ming

and

Qing

dynasties.

A

reporter

for

the

Beijing

News

believes that the strangely-located tree is the oldest tree in the Chinese

capital. That information has not been checked, but other people think the

tree is only 100 years old.

Playing

a

serious

game

of

football

on

this

field

cannot

be

very

pleasant.

The

tree

could

“catch”

the

ball

and

change

its

direction

from

time

to

time.

But

the

students

have

no

choice

but

to

train

on

the

playground

with

the

tree.

Luckily, they can play on a different field in competitions with other

schools.

27. If students play football on the school field, ____________.

A. they might run into a tree

B. they will have a good chance of winning

C. they will fall down more often

D. they can control the ball all the time

28. Why did the school build a football field around a tree?

A. Because the tree was as old as the school.

B. Because the school could only use that place.

C. Because students in the school liked the tree.

D. Because the tree had something to do with the city’s history.

29.

Why

was

the

school

not

allowed

to

move

and

plant

the

tree

somewhere

else?

A. Because there was no other place for the tree.

B. Because it may have been dangerous for the tree and it might have died.

C. Because the tree was too big to be moved.

D. Because it was more meaningful to keep the tree where it was.

30. What do we know about the tree?

A. It’s the oldest tree in the Chinese capital.

B. It was planted in Ming Dynasty.

C. Some believe it is only one-hundred years old.

D. Students will play on another field to protect it.
