We moved on into the jungle-- a forest where large numbers of tall trees and plants grow very close together. Old Mali went in front and I followed close behind him. We stopped for the night about an hour before it began to get dark.

Old Mali lit a fire. When it was bight he showed me how to make a bed with moss（青苔，苔藓）.

It was soft and comfortable.

―Mali, how did you learn to make such a bed?　 I asked.

―I learned to make beds like that,　 Mali replied, ―by watching and listening to others. That is the real way to learn anything.

―Will you let me watch you always?　 I asked Old Mali. ―I want to learn all the things you know about the jungle.

When we had finished our supper, Old Mali got onto his bed and lay down. It was now completely dark. In the fire light, Old Mali seemed to be fast asleep on his bed. I suddenly felt alone and afraid.

All day in the jungle, while we had been walking, I had heard noises of animals. Now they seemed to be much nearer. The jungle was now a wall of blackness in the light of the fire.

I felt frightened and suddenly my mouth went dry. I wanted to scream. I felt my mouth opening wide, ready to scream as loud as possible.

But I did not scream. I saw Old Mali’s face in the firelight. This made me feel ashamed. I held my teeth tightly together to stop myself from screaming. I lay down and closed my eyes.

As soon as I closed my eyes. I heard a thousand noises. The whole jungle became alive with animals moving quietly and carefully all around me. Suddenly Old Mali took a deep breath and made a noise. I was hearing so many imaginary noise and the real noise made by Old Mali gave me a terrible fright.

I opened my eyes and jumped out of bed. I pulled my knife out and held it above my head.

Sharks are among the oldest animals on Earth. There are hundreds of kinds of sharks. Most are about two meters long. The dogfish shark, however, is less than twenty centimeters in length. A shark has an extremely good sense of smell. It can find small amounts of matters in water, such as blood, body liquids and chemicals produced by animals. These powerful senses help sharks find their food. Sharks eat fish, other sharks, and plants that live in the ocean.

Sharks grow slowly. About forty percent of all sharks lay eggs. The others give birth to live young. Some sharks carry their young inside their bodies as humans do. Some sharks are not able to reproduce until they are twenty years old. Most reproduce only every two years. And they give birth to fewer than ten young sharks. For this reason, over-fishing of sharks is of special danger to the future of the animal.

Sharks are important for the world’s oceans. They eat injured and diseased fish. Their hunting activities mean that the numbers of other fish in ocean waters do not become too large. This protects the plants and other forms of life that exist in the oceans.

People hunt sharks for sport, food, medicine and their skin. Experts say the international market for some kinds of sharks has increased because many parts of a shark are valuable.Collectors pay thousands of dollars for the jaws of a shark. Shark liver oil is a popular source of Vitamin A. The skin of a shark can be used like leather.

In Asia, people enjoy a kind of soup made from shark fins. Experts say a fisherman can earn a lot of money for even one kilogram of shark fins. Sharks are among the oldest animals on Earth, but some sharks are in danger of disappearing from Earth. If too many sharks in one area are killed, that group of sharks may never return to normal population levels.

1.. Which of the following words best describes the situation sharks are in?

2. Sharks eat other fish, __________.

3. According to the passage, many parts of a shark are valuable EXCEPT ________.

4.The author thinks that______.

Big cats have existed on the earth for millions of years, though scientists aren’t sure exactly how long. But a new study indicates that a skull (颅骨) of a snow leopard (豹) relative that was recently unearthed is 4.4 million years old. That makes it the oldest big cat fossil (化石) ever found.

A team of US and Chinese scientists unearthed the skull in Tibet. This creature is not a direct ancestor to big cats, but it is closely related to the snow leopard, study leader Jack Tseng told the Associated Press. The fossil lends evidence to the belief that big cats existed in Asia and spread out from there.

Big cats are at the top of the food chain and have few predators of their own. Big cats include snow leopards, clouded leopards, tigers and lions. Based on genetic judgements, most scientists believe they first existed in Central Asia. But previously, the oldest known big cat fossil was 3.6 million years old and found in Africa.

The new fossil findings were published in the November 13 issue of the science journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences. Tseng and his team were fossil hunting in the Himalayas in 2010 when they discovered some bones, including the buried cat skull. The researchers were able to determine its age by studying the surrounding rocks and soil. The skull indicates that the animal was about the size of a clouded leopard, which can grow up to 50 pounds. In 2012, the team returned to unearth more cat bones.

David Polly from Indiana University told the Associated Press that the fossil is “convincingly older than the current record holder”. He added that there could be even older big cat fossils in the Tibetan plateau to uncover.

1.What does the newly unearthed skull prove?

A. Big cats might have their origins in Asia.

B. The oldest fossil is 4.4 million years old.

C. The snow leopard is the oldest big cat.

D. The skull is of big cats’ direct ancestor.

2.What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. relatives.　　 B. enemies.

C. partners.　　 D. protectors

3.How do the researchers know the skull’s age?

A. By measuring its size and forehead.

B. By examining other bones around it.

C. By studying its chemical composition.

D. By exploring the rocks and soil around it.

4.Where was “the current record holder” in the last paragraph found?

A. Asia.　　 B. Africa.

C. America.　　 D. Australia.

The world’s population continues to grow. There are about five billion of us on earth now. It could reach six billion in 10 years’ time, and eleven billion in another 75 years. Experts have long been concerned about such growth. Where will we find the food, water, jobs, houses, schools and health care for all these people?

A major new study shows that situation may be changing. A large and rapid drop in the world’s birth rate has taken place during the past 10 years. Families generally are smaller now than they were a few years ago. This is happening in both developing and industrial nations. Scientists said they found a number of reasons for this. More men and women are waiting longer to get married. More women are going to school or working at jobs away from their home instead of having children. And more governments, especially in developing nations, now support family planning programs to reduce population growth.

China is one of the nations that have made great progress in reducing its population growth by about one half since 1970. China now urges each family to have no more than one child. And it hopes to reach zero population growth before long, that is, the number of birth equaling the number of death.

Several nations in Europe already have fewer births than deaths. Experts said that these nations could face a serious shortage of workers in the future.

1. In the sentence “Experts have long been concerned about such growth”, the phrase “concerned about” is similar in meaning to_____.

A. worried about      B. related to       C. busy working on     D. made a study of

2. “Family planning programs” means______.

A. economic policy in a country         B. economic policy in a family

C. TV programs for a family            D. birth control in a country

A. people marry at a much later time

B. women would rather go to study or work than have children

C. some countries are carrying out the family planning programs

D. all the above

4. We hope that soon the number of birth and the number of death in China will_____.

A. be greatly different          B. be equal to each other

高一英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

There are a growing number of pet owners who feed their pets on raw foods, which means “uncooked” meat and bones. William Burk, a pet food specialist from the Food and Drug Administration(FDA), believes that feeding raw meat to pets is against its goal of protecting the public from health dangers, and that raw meat and bones do not have all the required nutrition that a pet needs every day.

Recognizing how popular these foods are, the FDA has provided guidelines for producers of pet foods which contain uncooked meat for dogs, cats and other pets. The guidelines give rules to protect pet owners and pets from dangers about food safety and lack of nutrition.

Pet owners who feed raw meat and bones to their pets should deal with these products very carefully to protect themselves against possible dangers, says Burk. Just as when you are preparing foods for human beings, use hot water and soap to wash your hands, containers, and surfaces that come into contact with the food. Don’t put your hands near your mouth until you have washed them, and don’t allow your pet to touch your face right after it has eaten raw meat.

“If pet owners choose to feed bones to their pets, they should watch their pets carefully when they are eating bones,” Burk says, “If a pet eats a big piece of bone that won’t pass through its digestive system(消化系统), it is likely to kill the pet.”

1.What does William Burk think of feeding pets on raw meat?

A. It’ll make the pet owners sick.

B. It’ll keep the pets’ wild nature.

C. It’s against the policy of the FDA.

D. It’s dangerous and lack of nutrition.

2.The FDA has provided guidelines for producers of pet foods with raw meat because　 ________.

A. pet safety is a serious problem

B. most pets lack nutrition

C. feeding pets on raw foods is popular

D. the quality of pet foods is dropping

3.Those who feed pets on raw foods should do some necessary cleaning when ________.

A. preparing raw meat for pets

B. touching the food containers

C. taking their pets out for a walk

D. preparing foods for human beings

4.What suggestion is given to pet owners in the last paragraph?

A. Pets should be forbidden to eat raw bones.

B. Pets should be kept away from the raw meat.

C. Pets should be checked on their digestive system.

D. Pets should be watched carefully while eating bones.
