四、阅读理解(20分)
A
During my travels through the mountains of Greece I was only ever scared(害怕) once. It was dusk and as I walked alone I met six large wolves that were feeding on the body of a dead animal. I had heard many stories about wolves as a child and it was this animal that I feared more than any other. The wolves before me were huge, at least 6 feet long and covered with thick grey fur.
As I went near, the wolves left the blood-covered snow that surrounded the body and started walking towards me, one after another. They stopped about 20 metres from me and stared. The lead wolf raised his head into the air and took in a deep breath, as if he was smelling my presence. The animals looked both beautiful and frightening, but I knew I could not show them my fear. As I came nearer, the lead wolf raised its head once more but this time let out a long, loud cry. The awful cry rang out across the silent valley. I had never heard a more frightening sound. I was almost certain it was a sign to be death.
Every moment I expected to see the pack of wolves dash(冲) at me. I knew my only hope was to pretend (假装) I had no fear. I walked past the line of wolves, like a general moving among his soldiers. They cried out loud again. But when they saw that their cry did not cause me to change my direction or make me run, they feared to come after m; so they let me pass and returned to the dead animal.
If I had turned back or tried to run away when they marched out to meet me, I am certain the whole pack would have attacked(攻击) me in a moment. But my show of false courage(虚假的勇气) intimidated them and kept them back.
41. Why didn’t the wolves attack the man?
A. They were no longer hungry when they saw him.
B. The man was already known to the wolves.
C. They were too far away to catch the man.
D. The man showed no fear as he passed by.

A. amazed B. scared C. excited D. hurt
43. What is the writer’s purpose of writing this story?
A. To show that mountains can be dangerous places.
B. To discuss the habits of mountain wolves.
C. To make people realize the danger of wolves.
D. To stress the need for courage when in danger.
44. Which is the best title for this story?
A. In Face of Fear B. My Trip to Greece
C. My Mountain Travels D. A Man Without Fear
C
What do you do in a situation like this? You’re calling dinner with friends at a nice restaurant. You’re having a great time when a phone rings at the table next to you. A man takes out his phone and starts talking loudly about problems he’s having with his girlfriend. He talks for almost ten minutes! This happens all the time-on buses, in restaurants, everywhere!
Many people find mobile phones useful in their daily lives. But we’ve all sat next to someone talking too loudly on a mobile phone. You may want to tell the loudmouth to end the conversation, but let the management take care of those noisy customers (顾客). You can only control your own behavior. Here are a few rules:
Off means off! Follow the rules of restaurants and other public places. If a sign says “turn off mobile phones”, don’t use your phone. If you are allowed, speak softly and for a short time and try to move away form other people.
Lights off, phone off! Never make calls in a theater or at the movies.
Pay attention! Talking on a mobile phone while driving is dangerous. And watch where you’re going when you’re walking down the streets and talking on the phone.
As more people use mobile phones, things are only going to get worse. So, the next time you’re getting ready to make a call, stop and think about the people around you.
