Fast Reading Directions: There are 4 short passages in this section. Each passage is followed by at least one question or unfinished statement.

There were only a few hundred Komodo lizards living by the 1930s. B. Nobody knew the present name of the animal before 1921. C. The islanders hunt too many Komodo lizards. D. The writer worries about the Komodo lizards. Now scan passage one below and answer questions.The Komodo lizard is the worlds largest lizard(蜥蜴).It was not discovered until this century and was named only in 1921. It was formerly found on three Indonesian islands: Komodo, Rintja and Flores. By the 1930s, in spite of government protection, the population of this great lizard had been reduced to a few hundred. It was, however, still found on the three main islands and there were still lizards of over 4 metres in length. By 1963, after a period of only fifty years since its discovery, the entire population was based on Komodo. It is now unusual to see one as long as 3 metres. The lizards normal food consists mainly of wild goats and pigs, animals which the islanders also hunt. This, of course, means that the lizard often gets too little to eat. It will certainly die out soon its hunting and breeding(繁殖) grounds are protected more effectively.Passage 2First read the following questions.2) How many people have died in the train crash in article 2 ?

Most of their homes were so poorly made that they fell down or were fire hazards (=danger) with their steep, narrow wooden stairways. Most people were packed into apartment buildings that rose shakily (=unsafely) six to twelve floors above the ground. The apartments were rooms about three metres square, and each building housed about five hundred people.These tall buildings faced each other across streets only three metres wide, so no sunlight reached the ground. Even so, apartments were costly, though cheaper places could be had outside Rome. But people wanted to be near their work and entertainment.

Reading in Depth: (21020)Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statement. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the best answer.Passage 1My elder brother Steve, in the absence of my father who died when I was six, gave me important lessons in values that helped me grow into an adult. For instance, Steve taught me to face the results of my behavior. Once when I returned in tears from a Saturday baseball game, it was Steve who took the time to ask me what happened. When I explained that my baseball had soared through Mrs. Holts basement window, breaking the glass with a crash, Steve encouraged me to confess to her. After all, I should have been playing in the park down Fifth Street and not in the path between buildings. Although my knees knocked as I explained to Mrs. Holt, I offered to pay for the window from my pocket money if she would return my ball. I also learned from Steve that personal property is a sacred thing. After I found a shiny silver pen in my fifth-grade classroom, I wanted to keep it, but Steve explained that it might be important to someone else in spite of the fact that it had little value. He reminded me of how much Id hate to lose to someone else the small dog my father carved from a piece of cheap wood. I returned the pen to my teacher, Mrs. Davids, and still remembered the smell of her perfume as she patted me on my shoulder. Yet of all the instructions Steve gave me, his respect for life is the most vivid in my mind. When I was twelve I killed and old brown sparrow in the yard with a BB gun. Excited with my accuracy, I screamed to Steve to come from the house to take a look. I shall never forget the way he stood for a long moment and stared at the bird on the ground. Then in a dead, quiet voice, he asked, “Did it hurt you first, Mark?” I didnt know what to answer. He continued with his eyes firm, “The only time you should even think of hurting a living thing is if it hurts you first. And then you think a long, long time. “ I really felt terrible then, but that moment stands out as the most important lesson my brother taught me. 1) What is the main subject of the passage? A. The relationship between mark and Steve. B. The important lesson Mark learned in school C. Steves important role in marks growing process. D. Mark and Steves respect for living things. 2) It can be inferred from the passage that when mark confessed to Mrs. Holt, _. A. he felt surprised B. he was light-hearted C. he felt frightened D. he knelt before her 3) In the story about the pen, which of the following lessons did Steve teach his brother? A. Respect for personal property. B. Respect for life. C. Sympathy for people with problems. D. The value of honesty. 4) According to the writer, which was the most important lesson Steve taught his young brother? A. Respect for living things. B. Responsibility for ones actions. C. The value of the honesty. D. Care for the property of others. 5) Which of the follow is true according to the passage? A. Mark was still a boy when he wrote this passage. B. Mark lost the small dog his father carved. C. When a living thing hurts you, you should kill it. D. Even if a living thing hurts you, you should not kill it without hesitation. Passage 2How often one hears children wishing they were grown up, and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets. Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities. If a child has good parents, he is well fed, looked after and loved. It is unlikely that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child-things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well known. A child finds pleasure in playing in the rain, or in the snow. His first visit to the seaside is a marvelous adventureBut a child has his pains：he is not so free to do as he wishes as he thinks older people are; he is continually being told what to do and what not to doTherefore, a child is not happy as he wishes to be.When the young man starts to earn his own living, he becomes free from the discipline of school and parents; but at the same time he is forced to acceptResponsibilities. With no one to pay for his food, his clothes, or hi
