There was a howl (嚎叫) from Shere Khan. “He missed,” said Mother Wolf. “What is it ”
Father Wolf ran out and heard Shere Khan said to himself angrily as he fell into the bushes.
“The fool is so silly that he jumped at a woodcutter’s fire, and he burned his feet,” said
Father Wolf in a whisper.
“Something is coming up the hill,” said Mother Wolf, putting up one of her ears. “Get
ready.”
The bushes rustled a little, and Father Wolf dropped his back legs under him, ready for his
jump. Then, the most wonderful thing happened. Father Wolf stopped in the middle of his jump.
He jumped before he saw what he was jumping at, and then he tried to stop himself. The result
was that he jumped straight up into the air for four or five feet, and came down almost where he
left the ground.
“Man!” He said in surprise. “A man baby. Look!”
In front of him, stood a baby with nothing on. He was small and soft. He looked up into
Father Wolf’s face and laughed.
“Is that a man cub (幼崽) ” asked Mother Wolf. “I have never seen one. Bring it here.”
A wolf can hold an egg in his mouth without breaking it. Father Wolf picked the baby up
with his mouth without hurting the baby as he put the baby down among the wolf cubs.
“How little! How naked! How brave!” said Mother Wolf softly. The baby was moving
between the cubs to get close to their warm skin. “Aha! He is having his meal with the others.
And so this is a man cub. Now, was there ever a wolf that she could say she had a man cub
among her children ”
“In the past I heard of such a thing, but never in our team or in my time,” said Father Wolf.
“He is without hair and I could kill him with a touch of my foot. But see, he looks up and he is
not afraid.”
— From Mowgli’s Brothers

33. What did the Wolf mother mean by saying “Now, was there ever a wolf that she could say
had a man cub among her children ”
A. She would keep the man cub as her child.
B. She would send the man cub to his home.
C. She would kill the man cub to get food for her children
D. She would give the man cub to Shere Khan to protect her children.

Recently, scientists have already found out how and why earthquakes happen.
Long ago, people believed that the Earth was solid, but
today, scientists know that the Earth is made up of layers (层).
The centre of the Earth is called the core. The core is very
hot. The inner core is a solid ball made of iron, and the outer
core is made of iron that can flow (流动) slowly.
The mantle around the core is made of very hot rock. The
lower part of the mantle is soft and can move very slowly. The
mantle makes up most of the Earth.
The top layer of the Earth is called the crust, and is made of rock. It is the thinnest of all the
Earth’s layers. It is thinnest under the sea and much thicker under the land.
The crust and the upper part of the mantle are made up of very big, plate-like pieces of rock
that move slowly on the lower part of the mantle, so they are always moving. Most of the time,
the pieces are moving so slowly that people cannot feel them.
These big pieces of rock are called tectonic plates (板块). They
are in different sizes, and each one has a name. When the plates
meet, the plates can move to different directions, go past each other,
or push against each other until part of one plate is under the other.
The movements of the plates make the Earth’s cover break.
These broken places are called faults (地质断层). Some faults are
easy to see. Most faults don’t move, but the plates keep moving slowly. Over time, this causes
stress (压力) in the rocks.
When the stress is too much for the rocks, they break suddenly along the fault. This kind of
shaking run out in all directions, and make the ground shake. This is an earthquake, and it is why
most earthquakes happen near the sides of tectonic plates.
34. How many layers are there in the Earth according to the text
A. 2 B. 3 C. 4 D. 5
35. The following sentences are describing ___________.
“I am now in the deep Earth. After going through the layer made of hot rock, I found hot iron
around me flowing softly like water.”
A. inner core B. outer core C. mantle D. crust
36. What does “they” in paragraph 6 refer to (指代)
A. Layers of the earth. B. Big and plate-like pieces of rock.
C. The lower part of the mantle. D. The upper part of the mantle.
37. Which is the main idea of the report
A. What an earthquake is. B. Reasons for earthquakes.
C. Movements of tectonic plates. D. How and why earthquakes happen.

Blackbirds, goldfinches, gulls, pigeons, robins, sparrows... you could watch all of these and
many other types while birdwatching. Birdwatchers enjoy seeing birds doing all kinds of things:
looking for food, bathing in water and collecting materials to make a nest.
You can try birdwatching in lots of places, such as looking through a
window at home or visiting a local park in the daytime. If you want to
stay at home, ask your parents to hang a bird feeder outside a window.

Dear Henry,
How is everything going I like wild animals very much. I want to invite you to study my favourite animal with me.
My favourite wild animal is tigers. Some of them live in North-east China. I like tigers because they are big and strong. They like to live alone. They can run fast, but only for a short while. They can swim and climb.
We can take some water when visiting them, because it takes hours to watch them. Don’t forget to take a pair of binoculars to help us see them clearly.
Sadly, tigers are in danger. We can make some posters to let others know the importance of protecting them.
I will be very happy if you can join me. Looking forward to seeing you soon.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua (90 words)
