And this was the moment he especially hated to be 25 , so he went to the door and opened it 26 . At the door was a little girl, shyly asking, “Sir, do you have candles?

There animals are spread widely across India in open areas and grsassland; they often live in the earth and between rocks. They are good diggers, and in Ranthambhore are nocurnal; they only come out only at night. They weigh 12 to 16 kilograms and can reach lenghs of 80 t0 90 centimeters. They live usually on vegetables and fruits and seem to have a good sense of smell. Porcupines defend themselves when attacked by moving backwards with their quill upright, often making a strange noise.Several times, I have found the remains of quills where a tiger has killed and eaten a porcupine, but I have never actually seen the kill. In spite of the quills, experienced tigers will try to kill cleanly by biting the porcupine’s head, its weakest spot. But the quills are very sharp and can give painful injuries to young tigers.If the quills have gone in very deep or if they are stuck in the tiger’s paw, it will try to pull them out. Often, it will be successful, and the wound will get better, But, if the quills have gone very deep or if they are stuck in the tiger’s neck or mouth, where they cannot be reached, the wound will often turn bad. If this happens, the tiger is in pain and is less able to hunt animals. It has to look for easier food and so may turn to cows on the edges of the forest. From this, it is a small step to becoming a man-eater.36. A porcupine is a small animal which_________________.A. likes to fight against tigersB. is a kind of good food for tigersC. prefers to stay on vegetables and fruit rather than anywhere elseD. has vegetables and fruit as its main food37. The word ‘quills’ means __________.A. long, sharp needle-like parts on a porcupineB. feathers on a porcupineC. teeth of a porcupineD. feet of aporcupine38. What causes a tiger to become a man-eater according to this passage?A. When there are no porcupines for a tiger to catchB. When a tiger isn’t hurt seriously.C. When it is difficult for a tiger to catch other animals.D. When it turns to cows on the edges of the forest.39. What is the proper title for this passage?A. A porcupineB. How a Tiger kills a Porcupine?C. What Can Cause a Tiger to Become a Man-eater?D. A Tiger and its FoodB.This is a time of year when we think about giving and receiving presents. Can you find a little extra to give?

Why? How?As we approached the home that stood in the center of the property, We saw a sign：ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS I KNOW YOUAREASKING．The first，answer was：ONE WOMAN -TWO HANDS，TWO FEET AND VERY LITTLE BRAIN。

During my latest book cleaning adventure ，I found one that had fallen behind the shelf:“Tales of Edgar Allan Poe ．”Not an unusual title ，but the words written on the first page made it very special “With Love from Mom and Dad ，Christmas 1965．” What ’s this? A book on the physics of lasers （激光）．It is filled with mathematical statements ，and I had bought it at a library sale when I was 12，not long after the laser had been invented ．I couldn ’t understand a bit of it ，but I did learn what ―laser ‖meant ．What I end up with when I empty my bookshelves is a cross-section （横剖面）of my personal history. It ’s like a road cut where one sees all the layers of rock going back through time to the beginning of the simplest life forms ．The books I ’ve read —and kept —are not just old fiends ．They ’ re my resume ． 64．What could be said about the author?A ．He is too busy to tidy up his bookshelves ．B ．He considers his books treasured possessions ．C ．He has made a lot of notes in his book ．D ．He is a lover of sclence books ．65．By saying that his book have voices ，the author means_________.A ．they bring back happy memoriesB ．they are recorded in human voiceC ．they say a lot about human historyD ．they offer good topic for discussion 66．What does the author enjoy most from re-orgazining his books ？A ．Finding some missing books ．B ．Putting books in good order ．C ．Learning something new from the books ，D ．Rediscovering interesting stories behind some books ．67．The underlined word ―resume ‖in the last paragraph probably means_______． A. personal history B. precious notes C. good companion D. simple life formsDSpending beyond one’s means is becoming a national problem for Americans．Borrowing has become so easy that it takes great willpower for people to refuse it．“I received a number of gold MasterCard and gold Visa card offers in the mail during the past two months，”said one computer engineer at AT ＆T Bell Laboratories in Chicago．“I got three of them in one day last week．”Lenders are providing easy credit（信贷）for borrowers．Many banks now offer every borrower a great variety of credit，a service once offered almost only to big companies．Norwest Bank Minneapolis offers lending programs for cars and boats that can cut monthly payments nearly in half .Carmakers，too，are lengthening easier terms．Ford Motor Credit states that 45 % of its recent lendings has been for sixty months，rather than the sixty-six-month period that was usual before．The total consumer debt（债务）in the United States rose 73 percent between 1974 and 1984，as the debt for each man，woman，and child increased from $10，264 to $26，566．Huge debt now is present in our economy（经济）at all levels．As a nation，we are more than $7 trillion in debt，and the total keeps increasing astonishingly.As we have overborrowed，so have we overspent．In late 1986，the share of after-tax income that Americans saved sank below 2 percent for a short time，less than half the figure at which we saved only 10 years ago．Americans now are buying from foreigners between about $50 and $100 billion more Mercedes and Toyotas, Paris fashions，and tours to Europe than the Boeing 747s，agriculture machinery , or Kansas wheat that the foreigners bought from America. The country could not produce and pay for all the things it wanted.To make a long story short, we Americans have serious problems in keeping down spending and keeping up personal savings．It is high time for us American people to learn the basics of long-term money management.68．According to the author, what is a main reason for Americans to overspend？A．Americans buy a lot of foreign products．B．It is easy for Americans to manage their debts．C．Borrowing money has become a simple matter．D．Americans have more extra money than before．69．Ford Motor Credit lengthens 45％of its lending to 60 months in order to_______．A．help more Americans to settle their debts B．encourage people to buy foreign cars C．make better use of its money D．attract more customers70．What does the author suggestas a way to deal with overborrowing?A．Teaching people how to manage money．B．Advising people on what to buy．C．Limiting the use of credit cards．D．Reducing average incomes．71．Which of the following points does the author wish to make?A．America should sell more of its products abroad．B．A healthy society has to learn to 1ive within its means．C．People’s income determines their money management．D．Govemment should prevent people from overborrowing．EEvery person leaves a footprint. That’s what I learnt when I started to work as a private investigator 10 years ago．People pay restaurant bills with their bank card，check into hotels or travel around. In every case，they leave a trace．And because of this，I’m able to track them down even when they don’t want to be found．The first thing I do when I want to find out where someone is staying is to go to the neighbourhood where he used to live．It’s human nature to tell stories—which is why neighbours will tell me all they know when I ring at their houses．Sometimes，someone even talks about his fri end’s dishonesty．Then I produce a pattern of my subject’s life：if he likes to have a holiday in Spain or in Italy，if he prefers two- or three- star hotels and where he might hide his assets(资产)．When I’ve got this life pattern，I start my research．Nine times out of l0，I find the people I’m looking for．I once investigated a lorry supplier who owed ￡500,000 to a subcontractor(分包商)．The subcontractor wanted to find out if it was worth bringing charges against the supplier．I found out the supplier had moved assets to his son，who founded a new company offering the same product．It was a11 done within the law．There was no money to be got from that operation．However, I asked the son if I could speak to his father and he told me that his parent was on a long holiday in Spain and wouldn’t be back for a while．It didn’t take me long to find out that the father wasn’t in Spain．I went back to the son and this time he told me that his father might be in Bulgaria,and I found him doing winter sports in a beautiful mountain area．He was 1iving in a big house on a 1arge piece of land he had bought for￡400，000．This was exactly the kind of asset my customer was loooking for．72．We learn from the text that a private investigator is one who_______.A．follows people reports on what they do B．helps people start businessesC．gives advice to people about the law D．settles arguments between companies 73．Why does the author visit the place where his subject used to stay？A．To find out his hidden assets．B．To gather information about him．C．To discover why he is dishonest．D．To find out where he spends his holiday．74．The lorry supplier moved his assets to his son in oder to______．A．pass on his debt to his son B．double the business of his companyC．le t his son take over his lorry business D．prevent paying back the money he owed 75．We may infer from the text that the subcontractor might______.A．bring charges against the lorry supplier’s son B．give up hope of settling the debt C．sell the big house in Bulgaria D．get his money back第Ⅱ卷第一节：短文改错(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)此题要求改正所给短文中的错误。
