英语高考模拟卷（二）1. Which of the following is the result of rewilding?A. Species become various.B. A lot of animals disappear.C. Environments are destroyed.D. Natural disasters happen regularly.2. According to the passage, one of the challenges at present is ______.A. people’s doubtsB. a lack of volunteersC. a shortage of timeD. farmers’ disagreement3. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To introduce a new project.B. To call on people to give money.C. To warn people of the natural ecology.D. To convince people to change their mind.2、The Masai are a people who are constantly trying to preserve their own ways in an increasingly modem world. They live along the border of Kenya and Tanzania, moving their homes from time to time to follow their cattle, the source of their living.The Masai have become known as a people of fighters, protecting their cattle against lions and other enemies. Only men are fighters. They wear long hair, which is colored red with clay. They can have more than one wife. Women build and take care of the home, fixing food and making clothing. Women and children keep their heads shaved. Women can also become elders, once they have given birth to four healthy children.The Masai depend on their cattle for many parts of their life. They drink cow’s milk and blood as a sacred drink. They use the cows’ waste to cover and seal their homes. They don’t kill their cattle for food, but if a cow is killed, then the horns (角) are used for containers; the hides are used to make shoes, clothing, ropes and bed coverings; and the bones are made into decorations.The more cattle a man owns, the richer he is considered to be. A man who owns 50 or fewer cattle is considered poor. A "rich" man has a thousand or more. The cattle,though owned by the man, are considered to belong to the man’s entire family. The family names the cattle and can recognize each animal’s unique voice.Masai houses are made from sticks and grass, but they are meant to be temporary, since the move of their cattle means that the Masai move as well.1.When do the Masai move from one place to another?A.They move when they have over a thousand cattle.B.They move once there are 4 children in the family.C.They move when their cattle need new food sources.D.They move after their houses are not strong enough.2.What is Masai women’s daily work at home?A.They protect the cattle from being hunted.B.They give birth to babies and bring them up.C.They look after as well as name their cattle.D.They mainly deal with various housework.3.What does the underlined word“elders”in Paragraph 2 mean?A.Aged citizens.B.Respected people.C.Brave fighters.D.Wealthy hostesses.4.It can be inferred from the text that______.A.the Masai raise cattle mainly for their meatB.lions are the primary enemies of the MasaiC.the Masai are living a life in a modern wayD.the total of Masai’s cattle decides their status3、Modern farming methods and the consequences of global climate change are said to have put the future of the common bee under threat like never before.But in Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands, a group of scientists working on long-term solutions to some of the world’s most difficult problems have developed a solution that could have come straight from a sci-fi novel: robotic bees.By reproducing some of the complex wing motion patterns and aerodynamics（空气动力学）of fruit flies, in particular, researchers believe they will be able to create some bee like drones（无人机）to pollinate plants. The wings of the roboticDelFly beat 17 times per second to produce the lift needed to stay in the air and control its flight through small adjustments in their wing motion.“The use we see for this is in farming industry. The bee is under threat due to our farming methods and we don’t know what their future will be. This is one solution. We are not trying to copy flies and bees, but we are trying to learn from them, it is believed that there has not been a better solution,” said Matej Karasek, a researcher working on the project.The robotic insect has a 33cm wingspan（翼幅）and weights 29g, marking it 55 times the size of a fruit fly. It can also only fly for six minutes, or 0.6 miles on its current battery. But the plan, the university says, is to reduce the size down to that of the insects they are trying to copy as they develop the robot.Bees are responsible for pollinating 80% of the crops in the Netherlands. Yet of the 360 different species of bee in the country, about half of them are threatened.1. What does the underlined word “pollinate” in the third paragraph probably mean?A. Speed up the growing process.B. Improve the quality and quantity.C. Strength the ability to resist uncommon disease.D. Deliver something to a plant so that it can produce seeds.2. What is Matej Karasek’s attitude towards robotic bees?A. Pessimistic.B. Optimistic.C. Cautious.D. Neutral.3. How is the fifth paragraph mainly developed?A. By listing figures.B. By offering analyses.C. By listing examples.D. By making comparisons.4. What is most likely to be discussed in the following paragraph ?A. Practical uses of bees.B. The reasons of the falling of bees.C. People’s comments on robotic bees.D. The origins of developing robotic bees.4、Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it’s painful? Thismight be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you’re “hot”. That’s true. The time of day when you feel the most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues (自言自语) as John talks to himself: “Get up, John! You’ll be late for work again!” The possible explanation for the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.You can’t change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Adjust your cycle to some extent by staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won’t change your cycle, but you’ll get up steam (打起精神) and work better at your low point.Begin with a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a slow yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do usual work in the afternoon and spend time doing important work for your high peak hours.1. According to Dr. Kleitman if you don’t want to get up in the morning ____________.A. you must be a lazy personB. you must catch a coldC. your energy cycle must be lowD. you should stay in bed2. Which of the following may lead to family quarrels according to the passage?A. A change in a family member’s energy cycle.B. Familiar monologues.C. Unawareness of energy cycles.D. Attempts to control the energy cycle of other family members.3. If one wants to work better at his low point in the morning, he should ____________.A. change his energy cycleB. go to bed earlierC. overcome his lazinessD. get up earlier than usual4. You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will _________________.A. help you to control your temper early in the dayB. help to keep your energy for the day’s workC. enable you to concentrate on your routine workD. keep your energy cycle under control all day5、根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

On Tuesday 29 MayBI first met Paul Newman in 1968, when George Roy Hill, the director of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, introduced us in New York City. When the studiodidn’t want me for the film— it wanted somebody as well known as Paul— he stood up for me. I don’t know how many people would have done that; they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers.The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference, we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV. We were respectful of craft（技艺）and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play. Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors: humorous, aggressive, and making fun of each other— but always with an underlying affection. Those were also at the core （核心）of our relationship off the screen.We shared the brief that if you’re f ortunate enough to have success, you should put something back—he with his Newman’s Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival. Paul and I didn’t see each other all that regularly, zxx.k but sharing that brought us together. We supported each other financially and by showing up at events.I last saw him a few months ago. He’d been in and out of the hospital.He and I both knew what the deal was,and we didn’t talk about it.Ours was a relationship that didn’t need a lot of words.24.Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to author at first?A.Paul Newman wanted it.B.The studio powers didn’t like his agent.C.He wasn’t famous enough.D.The director recommended someone else.25.Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship?A.They were of the same dge.B.They worked in the same theater.C.They were both good actors.D.They han similar charactertics.26.What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to?A.Their belief.B.Their care for chileden.C.Their success.D.Their support for each other.27.What is the author’s purpose in writing the test?A.To show his love of films.B.To remember a friend.C.To introduce a new movie.D.To share his acting experience.CTerrafugia Inc .said Monday that its new flying car has completed its first flight,bringing the company closer to its goal of selling the flying car within the next year.The wehicle-named the Transition – has two seats wheels and wings that fold up so it can be driven like a car.The Transition,which flew at 1,400 feet for eight minutes last month, can reach around 70 miles per hour on the road and 115 in the flies using a23-gallon tank of gas and bums 5 gallons per hour in the air. On the ground, it gets 35 miles per gallon.Around 100 people have already put down a $10,000 deposit to get a Transition when they go on sale, and those numbers will likely rise after Terrafugia introduces the Transition to the public later this week at the New York Aut o Show. But don’t expect it to show up in too many driveways. It’s expected to cost $279,000.And it won’t help if you’re stuck in traffic. The car needs a runway.Inventors have been trying to make flying cars since the 1930s, according to Robert Mann, an airline industry expert. But Mann thinks Terrafugia has come closer than anyone to making the flying car a reality. The govemment has already permitted z&xxkthe company to use special materials to make it easier for the vehicle to fly. The Transition is now going through crash tests to make sure it meets federal safety siandards.Mann said Terrafugia was helped by the Federal Aviation Administration’s decision five years ago to create a separate set of standards for light sport aircraft, which are lower than those for pilots of larger planes. Terrafugia says an owner would need to pass a test andcomplete 20 hours of flying time to be able to fly the Transition,a requirement pilots w ould find relatively easy to meet.28. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. The basic data of the Transition.B. The advantages of flying cars.C. The potential market for flying cars. C. The designers of the Transition.29. Why is the Transition unlikely to show up in too many driveways?A. It causers traffic jams.B. It is difficult to operate.C. It is very expensive.D. It bums too much fuel.30. What is the govemment’s attitude to the development of the flying car?A. CautiousB. Favorable.C. Ambiguous.D. Disapproving.31. What is the best title for the text?A. Flying Car at Auto ShowB. The Transition’s Fist FlightC.Pilots’Dream Coming TrueD. Flying Car Closer to RealityDWhen a leafy plant is under attack ，it doesn’t s it 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 neighboring 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 .It’s a plant’s way of crying out.But is an yone 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 arenatural enemies to the attackers . zxx|k 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 neighbors .The damage is usually more serious on the first plant,but the neighbors ,relatively speaking ,stay safer because they heard the alarm and knew what to do.Does this mean that plants talk to each other? Scientists don’t know. Maybe the first pl ant just made a cry of pain or was sending a message to its own branches, and so, in ef fect, was talking to itself. Perhaps the neighbors just happened to “overhear” the cry. S o information was exchanged, but it wasn’t a true, intentional back and forth.Charles Darwin, over 150 years ago, imagined a world far busier, noisier and more inti mate(亲密的) than the world we can see and hear. Our senses are weak. There’s a whole lot going on.32. What does a plant do when it is under attack?A. It makes noises.B. It gets help from other plants.C. It stands quietlyD. It sends out certain chemicals.33. 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.34.Scientists find from their studies that plants can .A.predict natural disastersB.protect themselves against insectsC.talk to one another intentionallyD.help their neighbors when necessary35.what can we infer from the last paragraph?A.The word is changing faster than ever.B.People have stronger senses than beforeC.The world is more complex than it seemsD.People in Darwin’s time were imaginative.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

He was a champion.But the boy changed after leaving home and attending the boarding school. His grades started dropping. He hated being in a group. He was lonely all the time. And there were especially dark times when he felt like killing himself. All of this was because he felt worthless and that no one loved him.His parents started worrying about the boy. But even they did not know what was wrong with him. So his dad decided to travel to the boarding school and talk with him.They sat on the bank of the lake near the school. The father started asking him casual questions about his classes, teachers and sports. After some time his dad said, “Do you know son, why I am here today?”The boy answered back, “to check my grades?”“No, no” his dad replied, “I am here to tell you that you are the most important person for me. I want to see you happy. I don’t care about grades. I care about you. I care about your happiness. YOU ARE MY LIFE.”These words caused the boy’s eyes to fill with tears. He hugged his dad. They didn’t say anything to each other for a long time.Now the boy had everything he wanted. He knew there was someone on this earth who cared for him deeply. He meant the world to someone. And today this young man is in college at the top of his class and no one has ever seen him sad!Thanks a lot dad.

But this is really happening, and it's a project of NASA and two European space agencies the Institute of Aerospace Medicine at the Cologne-based German Aerospace Center and the European Space Agency. It’s called Artificial Gravi ty Bed Rest Study, aimed at studying how the body adapts to weightlessness in space.Scientists are seeking 12 women to spend two full months in bed in the fall at a German lab, plus an additional month there for preparation and recovery. The first 12 test subjects all men, already have started the study.Participants spend two entire months in bed and remain lying down even to do everyday things like eating drinking and exercising. They also answer nature's call and shower but it's unclear from the NASA website how those tasks are accomplished in bed."Daily routine showering getting dressed eating exercising takes much time when you cannot stand up to do them," says the website adding that there is “continuous data collection, including blood pressure, heart rate, nutrient absorption and also the participants' feelings. Study subjects will spend the 60 days with their heads tilted (倾斜) down six degrees which imitates(模仿)conditions in space.Participants are encouraged to pass the time by watching TV, taking online courses reading and any other activities they can perform while lying down alone in bed to relieve what could be boredom. Family and friends are allowed to visit.The high $18, 500 payment for two months of lazing about is probably a major motivation for people willing to go through something this extreme. However, if you're an American who really needs the money, you probably can't afford it. Candidates need to travel to Cologne four times at their own expense for the employment process between April and July. Plus they need strong German-speaking skills. Also participants need to be nonsmokers between ages 24 and 55 in good health, with normal body weight.1.What are participants expected to do during the study?A.Report their feelings regularly.plete their daily routines in bed.C.Keep their bodies tilted down six degrees.D.Record their physical responses every day.2.What data about the participants will the researchers collect?A.The changes in their weight.B.Their behaviors to weightlessness.C.The ways they do their dailyD.Their physical and mental reactions.3.What will be a challenge for the participants?A.The language skills they need.B.The difficulty meeting family.C.The possibility that they feel dull.D.The slow discovery of their health.4.The requirements for potential participants are______.A.challenging for AmericansB.tailored to thin personsC.easy for the youth to satisfyD.suitable for most people4、Slowly but surely, we’re moving closer and closer to 5G world. From smart-home security to self-driving cars, all the internet-connected devices in your life will be able to talk to each other at lightning-fast speeds with reduced delay, Objectively speaking, the fastest 4G download speeds inthe U. S. top out at an average of 19.42 Mbps. But by comparison 5G promises gigabit (千兆) speeds.“5G is one of those signs, along with artificial intelligence, of this coming data age,” said Steve Koenig, senior dir ector of market research for the Consumer Technology Association. “The self-driving vehicle is a great emblem of this data age, and that is to say, it is a sign of time, because with one single task, driving, you have massive amounts of data coming from the vehicle itself, and a variety of sensors are collecting a lot of information to model its environment as it moves. It’s pulling in data from other vehicles about road conditions down the lane. It could be weather information, but also connected infrastructure (基础设施) construction. There’s lots of data behind that task, which is why we need high speed.Augmented reality glasses and virtual headset haven’t yet broken the mainstream, but tech companies are joyfully betting that these devices will eventually replace our smart-phones. With 5G, that could actually happen. This is notable because companies such as Apple are reportedly developing AR glasses to assist — or perhaps even replace — smartphones.Ericsson stated at February’s Mobile World Congress how sm art glasses could become faster and lighter with a 5G connection, because instead of being weighed down with components, the glasses could rely on hardware for processing power.But don’t get too excited. There’s still a lot of work to be done in the meant ime, including various trials to make sure the radios play nicely with hardware and infrastructure construction so 5G isn’t concentrated only in big cities.1.What does the author want to stress in Paragraph 1?A.The lighting-fast speed of 5G.B.The expectation of 5G world.C.The difference between 4G and 5GD.The internet-connected devices in our life.2.What does the underlined word “emblem” in Paragraph 2 mean?A.Exhibition.B.Success.C.Symbol.D.Explanation.3. We can infer from the text that ________.A.5G world won’t come without AR glassesB.5G helps to create the artificial intelligence vehicleC.Apple company is developing AR glasses worldwideD.Tech companies will face the fact that smartphones may be replaced4.What will the author probably tell us next?A.How to fully expand 5G coverage.B.Smart glasses will become faster and lighter.C.Why 5G isn’t concentrated in big cities.D.The importance of infrastructure construction.5、根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

art when he was only six years of age．But he did not know about brushes before a visitor told him he needed one．In those days，a brush was made from camel's hair．There were no camels nearby．Benjamin decided that cat hair would workinstead．He cut some fur from the family cat to make a brush．The brush did not last long．Soon Benjamin needed more fur．Before long，the cat began to look ragged（蓬乱）．His father said that the cat must be sick．Benjamin was forced to admit what he had been doing．The cat's lot was about to improve．That year，one of Benjamin's cousins，Mr．Pennington，came to visit．He was impressed with Benjamin's drawings．When he went home，he sent Benjamin a box of paint and some brushes．He also sent six engravings （版画）by an artist．These were the first pictures and first real paint and brushes Benjamin had ever seen．In 1747，when Benjamin was nine years old，Mr．Pennington retured for another visit．He was amazed at what Benjamin had done with his gift．He asked Benjamin's parents if he might take the boy to Philadelphia for a visit．In the city，Mr．Pennington gave Benjamin materials for creating oil paintings．The boy began a landscape （风景）painting．Wiliam Wiliams，a well﹣known painter，came to see him work．Wiliams was impressed with Benjamin and gave him two classic books on painting to take home．The books were long and dull．Benjamin could read only a little，having been a poor student．But he later said，"Those two books were my companions by day，and under my pillow at night．"While it is likely that he understood very little of the books，they were his introduction to classical paintings．The nine﹣year﹣old boy decided then that he would be an artist．21．What is the text mainly about？A．Benjamin's visit to Philadelphia．B．Williams'influence on Benjamin．C．The beginning

survey（调查）by the National Sleep Foundation，51% of kids aged 10 to 18 go to bed at 10 pm or later on school nights，even though they have to get up early．Last year the Foundation reported that nearly 60% of 7﹣to 12﹣year﹣olds said they felt tired during the day，and 15% said they had fallen asleep at school．How much sleep you need depends a lot on your age．Babies need a lot of rest：most of them sleep about 18 hours a day!Adults need about eight hours．For most school ﹣age children，ten hours is ideal（理想的）．But the new National Sleep Foundation survey found that 35% of 10﹣to 12﹣year﹣olds get only seven or eight hours．And guess what almost half of the surveyed kids said they do before bedtime？Watch TV．"More children are going to bed with TVs on，and there are more opportunities（机会）to stay awake，with more homework，the Internet and the phone，"says Dr．Mary Carskadon，a sleep researcher at Brown University Medical School．She says these activities at bedtime can get kids all excited and make it hard for them to calm down and sleep．Other experts say part of the problem is chemical．Changing levels of body chemicals called hormones not only make teenagers'bodies developadult characteristics，but also make it hard for teenagers to fall asleep before 11 pm．Because sleepiness is such a problem for teenagers，some school districts have decided to start high school classes later than they used to．Three years ago，schools in Edina，Minnesota，changed the start time from 7：25 am to 8：30 am．Students，parents and teachers are pleased with the results．25．What is the new National Sleep Foundation survey on？A．American kids'sleeping habits．B．Teenagers'sleep﹣related diseases．C．Activities to prevent sleeplessness．D．Learning problems and lack of sleep．26．How many hours of sleep do 11﹣year﹣olds need every day？A.7 hours．B.8 hours．C.10 hours．D.18 hours．27．Why do teenagers go to sleep late according to Carskadon？A．They are affected by certain body chemicals．B．They tend to do things that excite them．C．They follow their parents'examples．D．They don't need to go to school early．28．（7.5分）FLORENCE，Italy﹣Svetlana Cojochru feels hurt．The Moldovan has lived here seven years as a caregiver to Italian kids and the elderly，but in order to stay she's had to prove her language skills by taking a test which requires her to write a postcard to an imaginary friend and answer a fictional job ad．Italy is the latest Western European country trying to control a growing immigrant （移民）population by demanding language skills in exchange for work permits，or in some cases，citizenship．Some immigrant advocates worry that as hard financial times make it more difficult for natives to keep jobs，such measures will become more a vehicle for intolerance than integration（融合）．Others say it's only natural that newcomers learn the language of their host nation，seeing it as a condition to ensure they can contributeto society．Other European countries laid down a similar requirement for immigrants，and some terms are even tougher．The governments argue that this will help foreigners better join the society and promote understanding across cultures．Italy，which has a much weaker tradition of immigration，has witnessed a sharp increase in immigration in recent years．In 1990，immigrants numbered some 1.14 million out of Italy's then 56.7 million people，or about 2 percent．At the start of this year，foreigners living in Italy amounted to 4.56 million of a total population of 60.6 million，or 7.5 percent，with immigrants'children accounting for an ever larger percentage of births in Italy．Cojochru，the Moldovan caregiver，hoped obtaining permanent residence（居住权）would help her bring her two children to Italy；they live with her sister in Moldova，where salaries are among the lowest in Europe．She was skeptical that the language requirement would encourage integration．Italians always"see me as a foreigner，"an outsider，even though she's stayed in the country for years and can speak the local language fluently，she said．28．Why does Cojochru have to take a language test？A．To continue to stay in Italy．B．To teach her children Italian．C．To find a better job in Italy．D．To better mix with the Italians．29．Some people worry that the new language requirement may．A．reduce Italy's population quickly B．cause conflicts among peopleC．lead to financial difficulties D．put pressure on schools30．What do we know about Cojochru？A．She lives with her sister now in Italy．B．She enjoys learning the Italian language．C．She speaks Italian well enough for her job．D．She wishes to go back to her home country．第二节（满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．31．（10分）How to Do Man﹣on﹣the﹣Street InterviewsThe man﹣on﹣the﹣street interview is an interview in which a reporter hits the streets with a cameraman to interview people on the sport．（31）But with these tips，your first man﹣on﹣the﹣street interview experience can be easy．●When your boss or professor se nds you out to do man﹣on﹣the﹣street interviews for a story，think about the topic and develop a list of about ten general questions relating to it．For example，if your topic is about environmental problems in America，you might ask，"Why do you think environmental protection is important in America？"（32）●Hit the streets with confidence．（33）Say，"Excuse me，I work for XYZ News，and I was wondering if you could share your opinion about this topic．"This isa quick way to get people to warm up to you．●Mo ve on to the next person if someone tells you she is not interested in talking on camera．Don't get discouraged．●（34）Each interview that you get on the street shouldn't be longer than ten minutes．As soon as you get the answer you need，move on to the next person．Make sure that as you go from interview to interview，you are getting a variety of answers．If everyone is giving you the same answer，you won't be able to use it．A safe number of interviews to conduct is about six to ten．（35）●If your news st ation or school requires interviewees to sign release forms to appear on the air，don't leave work without them．A．Limit your time．B．As you approach people，be polite．C．If you don't own a camera，you can buy one．D．For new reporters，this can seem like a challenging task．E．To get good and useful results，ask them the same question．F．That number of interviews should give you all the answers you need．G．With a question like this，you will get more than a"Yes"or"No"reply．第三部分语言运用（共两节）第一节完形填空（满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑．36．（30分）Alia Baker is a librarian in

a bright，warm July afternoon，Mac Hollan，a primary school teacher，was cycling from his home to Alaska with his friends．One of his friends had stopped to make a bicycle repair，but they had encouraged Mac to carry on，and they would catch up with him soon．As Mac pedaled （骑行）along alone，he thought fondly of his wife and two young daughters at home．He hoped to show them this beautiful place someday．Then Mac heard quick and loud breathing behind him．"Man，that's a big dog!"he thought．But when he looked to the side，he saw instantly that it wasn't a dog at all，but a wolf，quickly catching up with him．Mac's heart jumped．He found out his can of hear spray．With one hand on the bars，he fired the spray at the wolf．A bright red cloud enveloped the animal，and to Mac's relief，it fell back，shaking its head．But a minute later，it was by his side again．Then it attacked the back of Mac's bike，tearing open his tent bag．He fired at the wolf a second time，and again，it fell back only to quickly restart

American painting，showed his talent for art when he was only six years of age．But he did not know about brushes before a visitor told him he needed one．In those days，a brush was made from camel's hair．There were no camels nearby．Benjamin decided that cat hair would work instead．He cut some fur from the family cat to make a brush．The brush did not last long．Soon Benjamin needed more fur．Before long，the cat began to look ragged（蓬乱）．His father said that the cat must be sick．Benjamin was forced to admit what he had been doing．The cat's lot was about to improve．That year，one of Benjamin's cousins，Mr．Pennington，came to visit．He was impressed with Benjamin's drawings．When he went home，he sent Benjamin a box of paint and some brushes．He also sent six engravings （版画）by an artist．These were the first pictures and first real paint and brushes Benjamin had ever seen．In 1747，when Benjamin was nine years old，Mr．Pennington retured for another visit．He was amazed at what Benjamin had done with his gift．He asked Benjamin's parents if he might take the boy to Philadelphia for a visit．In the city，Mr．Pennington gave Benjamin materials for creating oil paintings．The boy began a landscape （风景）painting．Wiliam Wiliams，a well﹣known painter，came to see him work．Wiliams was impressed with Benjamin and gave him two classic books on painting to take home．The books were long and dull．Benjamin could read only a little，having been a poor student．But he later said，"Those two books were my companions by day，and under my pillow at night．"While it is likely that he understood very little of the books，they were his introduction to classical paintings．The nine﹣year﹣old boy decided then that he would be an artist．21．What is the text mainly about？CA．Benjamin's visit to

become a bad habit for most American kids．According to a new survey（调查）by the National Sleep Foundation，51% of kids aged 10 to 18 go to bed at 10 pm or later on school nights，even though they have to get up early．Last year the Foundation reported that nearly 60% of 7﹣to 12﹣year﹣olds said they felt tired during the day，and 15% said they had fallen asleep at school．How much sleep you need depends a lot on your age．Babies need a lot of rest：most of them sleep about 18 hours a day!Adults need about eight hours．For most school ﹣age children，ten hours is ideal（理想的）．But the new National Sleep Foundation survey found that 35% of 10﹣to 12﹣year﹣olds get only seven or eight hours．And guess what almost half of the surveyed kids said they do before bedtime？Watch TV．"More children are going to bed with TVs on，and there are more opportunities（机会）to stay awake，with more homework，the Internet and the phone，"says Dr．Mary Carskadon，a sleep researcher at Brown University Medical School．She says these activities at bedtime can get kids all excited and make it hard for them to calm down and sleep．Other experts say part of the problem is chemical．Changing levels of body chemicals called hormones not only make teenagers'bodies develop。
