Or give a shark a bath? Cats are well-known for the way they keep themselves clean bylicking（舔），but other animals have their own ways to stay clean as well．And tidiness can be important for their survival．Even cockroaches（蟑螂）have to keep their feelers clean to help them into food．Many animals in the wild，such as deer，wolves and bears，have an automatic cleaning system．Insects like to attach themselves to animals to feed on the skin or blood．These parasites（寄生虫） can be unhealthy．But their“host” animals are constantly dropping skin and fur by a natural process．They also like to rub up against trees or rocks to comfort themselves，and this removes additional skin and fur．Along with old fur goes the dirt and parasites living in the fur．While these animals may sometimes take a bath when they enter or cross a river or lake，they don't need the water to stay clean．They don't get sweaty，because they don't have sweat glands（汗腺）all over their bodies the way people do．Growing new skin and fur is enough to keep them clean．Some animals and birds use dust to get clean．Chinchillas，a kind of small animal that lives inthe mountains of South America，have a very fine fur．（They are raised for their fur，in fact．）If they took water baths，they might get too cold．So，instead，they roll around in fine dust，raisingquite a cloud as they“bathe”．The dust helps to keep their fur and skin dry．This protects themfrom bacteria and parasites that enjoy warm and wet places．And the fine dust doesn't stick in theirfur for long．It falls off or blows away．As for lions and tigers．their rough tongues act like combs and can remove dirt and loose fur．Why is it important for them to stay clean and smooth? It helps them stay cool in very hot summer or feel warm in cold winter.55．What's the main idea of this passage?A．For animals，cleanliness is a survival skill． B．Animals enjoy living in a clean environment．C．Unlike people，animals hate staying in water．D．Animals fight against parasites in different ways．56．According to the passage，such animals as deer，wolves and bears clean themselves by ___________.A．living with parasites B．replacing their skin and fur naturallyC．climbing trees or rocks D．having a bath in a river or lake57．It can be inferred from the passage that the way some animals stay clean ________.A．is decided by their physical conditions B．is better than the way people doC．keeps them away from parasites all the time D．helps them survive any danger in the wildCWestern New Bridge Library AnnouncementShortened Library Hours for Spring BreakLibrary Hours have been shortened to 7 hours a day （9：00 a.m. –4:00 p.m. ）for Spring Break from March 24 to March 30.Coming Events◆On Monday，March 24，at 10：30 a．m．，ScottSutton，a children's writer，will tell stories to kids over seven．Sutton's attractive style will surely inspire everyone present!◆At 1：00 p．m．on March 26，the Georgetown Musicianswill present an Irish Folk Concert，which will be entertaining for the entire family．Come for themusic and stay to check out somerelevant books for the rest of the week!◆On Thursday，March 27，at 2：00 p．m．，the annualChildren's Gathering will take place in Room 201，the secondfloor．Pick up an invitation in the Children's Room and return yourRSVP（回复）to reserve your seat at the table by 3：00 p．m．on Tuesday，March 25．Onlychildren are allowed in the Gathering．◆At 10：30 a．m．on Friday, March 28，Enzo Monfre ofthe hit kids' science show，Enzoology, will bring Fossils Live!Surely Enzo will take the audience back in time，deep beneath thesurface of the earth．to uncover the mysteries of killer dinosaurs，and more．Please note：In case of emergency，please call the Help Desk at 926—3736 and follow theprocedures outlined on the voice message．The call—down serviceis staffed 24 hours a day，7 days a week for emergencies．TheHelp Desk supplies service to you all the year round!

After shouting and shutting her door，she calms down enough to go through her notes．The following day I ask her how the test went and she just says“OK．I got a nine”．“Wow, well done!”I say，before she finishes with“But I never get a ten!” According to James, this obsession with getting top marks has been a bad development，which encourages people to think of education in terms of work and money．To test this，I asked my daughter why she was so worried about her tests．She looked at me as if I was thick．“Well，if I don't get good grades，I won't get into university．Then I probably won't get a good job and I won't be able to afford nice things like a ear and stuff．”I was quite surprised，because I don't consider myself a pushy parent．But James suggests showing any interest in grades sends the message that what is important is results and it leaves students feeling failures even if they are very bright．He points to the Danish system（体制）of education as a better model．Creating happy citizens who have goodsocial skills is seen as more important than high achievements at school or the needs of business.For me．I cannot remember the last time I had to work out the area of a circle，recite a Shakespeare poem or grammar rules，yet I have lived a happy life．What I really needed to learn at school was how to make polite conversations，or how to avoid getting into debt or how to develop good personality．This is in fact similar to what Oliver James really has in mind．And he is looking for schoolswhere students are encouraged to find and follow their own interests，something more like Tongjon．Tongjon has been developed in some Korean private schools．It is quite different from the more rigid system of learning things by heart that is used in Korea，and indeed in many other school systems around the world．As the Russian poet Pushkin said，“Inspiration（灵感）is needed in geometry（几何学）just as much as in poetry”，and inspiration does not come from endlessly revising for tests or getting worried about them. 62．What does the writer probably think of his／her daughter?A．She sets herself a goal too high to reach．B．She should be more polite to her parents．C．She is hard-working but not very bright．D．She takes her grades much too seriously．63. What does the underlined word “ obsession” in paragraph 3 mean?A. A plain and unavoidable factB. A satisfied and very proud stateC. A practical and widely-used wayD. A fixed and often unreasonable idea64．What can we infer from the passage?A．Social skills are as important as high grades． B．Interest in grades can shake self-confidence．C．The writer regrets not having studied hard at school．D．Danish educational system is for very smart students．65．The writer wants to tell us that ________.A．learning happily is the key to self-development B．top marks may be helpful to increase one's interestC．tests should be improved to give children inspiration D．education should meet one's needs for work and money第二节（共5小题；每小题1．5分，共7．5分）NOISEThe people who lived in Rome 2，000 years ago were already talking about the noise in their city．They couldn’t sleep，they said，with all the people and carriages in the streets．For them noise was only a trouble，but for us it has become a real danger．We know that sounds of an ordinary city are loud enough to cause serious harm to the people's hearing--in the UnitedStates，one person out of twenty has suffered some hearing loss． 66It has increased greatly in the 20th century with the development of machines．We live surrounded by loud planes，trucks，buses，radios，machines--that make such loud noises day and night up to 90 or 100 decibels（分贝）．A usual talk reaches 55 decibels．A jet plane goes to 100 decibels and more．“Pop”music reaches around 118 decibels．At 120 decibels the ear stops hearing sound，and the ear suffers a lot．However，the human ear does not judge clearly the degree of loudness of a noise．A sound ten decibels louder than another one is felt as twice as loud，when，in fact，it is ten times louder． 67But it is not only our hearing that is harmed．It has been known that loud noises，over a period of time，cause loss of sleep，anger，and many other problems． 68Can anything be done to make our world more quiet? We know how to build quieter machines，if the public wants them．But shop—assistants say that people who buy motorbikes like the loudest ones because they sound more loudly． 69 In America the drivers in some cities are fined fifty dollars for honking；they may lose their right to drive if they do it again．People who carry noisy radios in public places may lose them if they are caught with them．70 Even so，say the scientists，in twenty years the cities will be twice as loud as they aretoday because of the increase of the population．People will have to shout to be heard at the dinnertable．Unless，of course，they have all become completely deaf!A．Some countries are trying to make laws．B．People will become completely deaf in the future．C．When a sound is getting louder and louder，our ears are in danger．D．In fact，it will take everybody’s hard work to keep city noises from increasing．E．Since we cannot measure the increase or decrease of noise，we never know in what danger we are．F．And all over the world the situation is getting worse all the time since noise increases with the population．G．Such problems have been found among factory workers，and people who operate loud machines，or often go to pop music concerts．第四部分：选词或词组填空（共10小题，10分）请用方框中词语或词组的适当形式完成下列句子，每个词语或词组只用一次。
