A
Alexis, 17, sat quietly in the passenger seat of her dad's car. She let her eyes lazily scan the landscape for wildlife. Then a deer came into view about 200 yards in front of them. “Dad, there's a deer there!” Alexis said. It was a male deer with sharp antlers (角) on each side of its head.
As the car moved closer, Alexis saw that the deer's head was bent toward the ground. Then she heard a scream and saw an arm fly up near the deer's head. Alexis realized the deer was attacking a woman. Sue, a 44-year-old mother, had been out for her morning run. The deer followed her and edged closer. “I knew I was in trouble,” Sue says. She went to pick up a stick for self-defense, and the deer charged(向前冲). It lifted her with its antlers and threw her into the air. Sue could feel blood flew down her leg. Within seconds, the deer had pushed her off the road.
When Alexis and her father pulled up, the deer was throwing Sue like a doll. Alexis looked into the woman's terrified eyes, and before her father had even stopped the car, the teenager jumped quickly out of the car and ran toward the deer. “I was kicking it to get its attention, ”she says. Then her father, who had followed his daughter, pushed the deer away from the women.
Alexis helped Sue into the car, and then applied a piece of cloth to Sue's injured leg. “We're going to get you to a hospital,”"Alexis said. Then she heard her father shout loudly. He had been knocked to the ground. Alexis took hold of a hammer from the car and ran to where her father lay on his back. She beat the deer's head and neck, but the blows didn't scare it away. “I was losing faith,”"she says. “A couple more strikes, Alexis, ”said her father. “You can do it.”Turning the hammer around, Alexis closed her eyes and beat the deer's neck with all her strength. When she opened her eyes, the deer was running away. Alexis got in the driver's seat and sped toward the nearest hospital.
After Sue was treated, she tearfully thanked her rescuers. “You expect a teenage girl to get on the phone and call for help,” she says, “not to beat up a deer.” （398 words）

Do you want to improve the way you study? Do you feel nervous before a test? Many students say that a lack of concentration is their biggest problem. It seriously affects their ability to study, so do their test results.
If so, use these tips to help you.
Study Techniques
You should always study in the same place. You shouldn’t sit in a position that you use for another purpose. For example, when you sit on a sofa to study, your brain will think it is time to relax. Don’t watch TV while you are studying. Experts warn that your concentration may be reduced by 50 percent if you attempt to study in this way. Always try to have a white wall in front of you, so there is nothing to distract (make less concentrated) you. Before sitting down to study, gather together all the equipment you need. Apart from your textbooks, pens, pencils and knives, make sure you have a dictionary. If your study desk or table is needed when you are not studying, store all your equipment in a box beside it.
Your eyes will become tired if you try to read a text which is on a flat surface. Position your book at an angle of 30 degrees.
Be realistic and don’t try to complete too much in one study period. Finish one thing before beginning another. If you need a break, get up and walk around for a few minutes, but try not to telephone a friend or have something to eat.
Test-taking Skills
All your hard work will be for nothing if you are too nervous to take your test. Getting plenty of rest is very important. This means do not study all night before your test!
It is a better idea to have a long-term study plan. Try to make a timetable for your study which lasts for a few months.
Exercise is a great way to reduce pressure. Doing some form of exercise every day will also improve your concentration. Eat healthy food too.
When you arrive in the examination room, find your seat and sit down. Breathe slowly and deeply. Check the time on the clock during the test, but not too often. Above all, take no notice of everyone else and give the test paper your undivided attention. (386 words)
29. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. Check the time during the exam at a certain time.
B. Your concentration will improve if you study and watch TV at the same time.
C. You should study in a different place every day, so you don’t get bored.
D. Staying up all night and studying is tiring, but you will learn a lot using this method.
30. What does the underlined word “it” refer to?
A. Your textbook. B. Your study desk or table.
C. Your dictionary. D. The equipment you need.
31. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. You shouldn’t look at everyone else during the test.
B. You’ll concentrate more if there is nothing to distract you.
C. You will have enough energy to deal with your study and exams by eating healthy diet.
D. If you feel tired during study, you can walk around for a few minutes.
D
Wolves use many different types of communication. One way they communicate is through sound. The howl (嗥叫) is a well-known method wolves use to communicate with each other. While howling, wolves often change their voices a lot. As a result, people are sometimes “fooled” into believing that there are more wolves than there really are. People have often guessed, after listening to howls, that a pack of wolves contained up to 20 individuals, when there were only 3 or 4. Some people have thought that wolves do that on purpose, in order to fool neighboring packs into believing that there are more animals present than there really are. However, many naturalists and wolf biologists do not accept that idea.
Wolves seem to howl for many reasons. They often howl before they go on a hunt, possibly to get the pack together, and they often begin to howl after a successful hunt. That suggests that howling serves to bring a pack together, since wolves often become separated from each other during a hunt. They do not, however, howl while they are hunting. In addition, a wolf may howl alone if it is having trouble locating its pack. Surprisingly, pack members seem to recognize each other’s voices, since individual wolves often have their own way of howling. Wolves will also howl in sadness after the death of their mates.
Wolf packs may also howl to communicate with other packs, as two different wolf packs will sometimes answer each other’s howls. Wolves will also often answer the calls of humans who are pretending to howl like wolves. Wolves howl less often during May and June than they do during the rest of the year. This may be because that is the time that packs are most likely to have young pups (幼崽) present. It is possible that wolf packs who have young pups present often keep silent so they do not attract attention to their location, since pups can be easily hurt by predators (捕食性动物) like bears.(346 words)
32. People argued about _____.
A. how wolves howl             B. why wolves howl
C. when wolves howl            D. where wolves howl
33. Wolves howl in order to _____.
A. fool people B. convey different messages
C. fool neighboring packs D. make the pack sound st
