One night Buck woke up and heard the call again, a long howl. He ran into the forest. And there, his nose pointing to the sky, sat a wolf. The wolf started to run, and Buck followed him. They ran for hours through the forest, and then suddenly Buck remembered John Thornton. He turned and started to run back.
Thornton was eating dinner when Buck returned. Buck jumped all over him, and for two days never left his side. But after two days the call of the wild came again, and he remembered the forest and the wolf that had run with him.
He started to sleep out in the forest at night, sometimes staying out for three or
four days. He ate well, and he grew stronger and quicker and more alive. His golden brown coat shone with health as he ran through the forest, learning its every secret, every smell, and every sound.
Nobody saw the change that happened when Buck was inside the forest. At once he became a thing of the wild, stepping softly and silently, a passing shadow among the trees.
In the autumn, Buck started to see moose (驼鹿) in the forest. One day he met a group of about twenty. The largest was two meters tall, and his antlers were more than two meters across. When he saw Buck, he got very angry. For hours Buck followed the moose; he wanted the big one, but he wanted him alone. By the evening Buck had driven the big old moose away from the others, and then he began his attack.
The animal weighed six hundred and fifty kilos — he was big enough and strong enough to kill Buck in seconds. Patiently, Buck followed him for four days, attacking and then jumping away. He gave him no peace, no time to eat or drink or rest, and slowly the moose became weaker. At the end of the fourth day Buck pulled the moose down and killed him. He stayed by the dead animal for a day and a half, eating, and then turned towards camp and John Thornton.

A. Because he was curious about the call. B. Because he wanted to find something to eat. C. Because Thornton was there studying the sky. D. Because he wanted to do some morning exercise. 25. What can we learn about Buck from Paragraph 3?
A. He enjoyed staying out in the forest. B. He ate a lot and put on too much weight. C. His fur slowly changed from gray to golden. D. He had made friends with many wild animals.

A. he insisted on fighting Buck alone B. Buck got timely help from his friends C. he was too old and weak to fight Buck D. Buck had employed effective strategies
C
Ohio State researchers believe they have developed a reliable method to identify which people are narcissistic (自我崇拜). And, the beauty is that the tool is only a single question.
In a series of 11 experiments involving more than 2,200 people of all ages, the researchers found they could reliably identify narcissistic people by asking them this exact question (including the note): To what extent do you agree with this statement: “I am a narcissist.” Participants rated themselves on a scale of one (not very true of me) to seven (very true of me).
Results showed that people’s answer to this question lined up very closely with several other measures of narcissism, including the widely used Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI). The difference is that this new survey, which the researchers call the Single Item Narcissism Scale (SINS), has one question, while the NPI has 40 questions to answer.
“People who are willing to admit they are more narcissistic than others probably actually are more narcissistic,” said Brad Bushman, co-author of the study and a professor of communication and psychology at Ohio State University. “They don’t see narcissism as a negative quality. They believe they are superior to other people and are fine with saying that publicly.”
The advantage of SINS compared to other measures is that it allows researchers to identify narcissists very easily. It takes a person 20 seconds to answer the single question in the SINS measure, but it would take 13.3 minutes to answer the 40-question NPI. Many people would get fatigued or distracted while answering questions and possibly even drop out before they are done. However, Bushman emphasized that the one question tool (SINS) shouldn’t be seen a replacement for the longer narcissism questionnaires (NPI, etc) as other instruments can provide more information to researchers, such as which form of narcissism someone has.
6
Overall, narcissism is problematic for both individuals and society. Those who think they are already great don’t try to improve themselves. People who are only thinking of themselves and their own interests are less helpful to others.”
28. What is the advantage of SINS compared with other measures? A. SINS can provide more information.
B. Participants can rate themselves openly. C. SINS can identify narcissists more accurately. D. Participants can finish the question in a short time. 29. What is the disadvantage of NPI?
A. There are limitless questions involved. B. Not all the participants can finish the questions. C. Distracted participants usually give false answers. D. The data collected cannot give an accurate picture. 30. From the passage, we can safely say that _______.
A. narcissistic people are more reliable B. narcissistic people never help others
C. the shorter narcissism questionnaire, the better D. narcissism is harmful for both individuals and society 31. What is Brad Bushman’s attitude toward SINS?
A. Objective. B. Subjective. C. Doubtful. D. Positive. D
Drones (无人机) fly around almost everywhere these days. Farmers use them to monitor crops. Firefighters can locate survivors after a disaster or help map a fire. Scientists use them to study dangerous places, such as the inside of a volcano. Others fly them as a hobby.
But how well will such vehicles perform? Engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have created a new computer program that lets users design their own flying machines.
At the heart of MIT’s drone-design system is a new computer program, which helps the user select a shape that will function well. It also helps the user decide which ways the vehicle will fly. The program also runs virtual tests of the design to make sure it is not likely to crash in the real world.
Tao Du, an MIT graduate student, and his team have design this computer program. It lets people pick the size, shape and structure that best fits their needs. Such an approach increases the shapes, styles and sizes of drones that users can fly and what they can do with them. And the designers don’t need to be experts in physics to do it.
As they design a custom machine that actually flies, DIY-ers must consider a number of questions. How many parts can you add and still keep a drone lightweight enough to fly well?
7
How much propeller (螺旋桨) power does the machine need to overcome gravity?
Once a design is final, the system can produce a construction plan. It calculates which parts, such as rods and motors, the new drone will need. The parts could be made in a factory or produced on a 3-D printer. Then, all that’s left is for someone to put the pieces together.
Du and his team designed two drones to demonstrate their system. They called one a “bunnycopter” owing to its appearance. It uses four propellers of different sizes, set at different angles and different heights. The other pentacopter has five propellers, instead of four. It can carry more weight than most drones of its size.
32. Why have drones become so popular nowadays? A. Because they can be easily built.
B. Because they are cheap and reliable.
C. Because they can be used for various purposes. D. Because more and more teenagers fly them as a hobby.
33. Du’s software can help users do all the following EXCEPT _______. A. produce a construction plan
B. run virtual tests of their designs C. pick out a certain shape to function well
D. decide what purpose their drones can be used for
34. Why must designers have the parts made in a factory or produced on 3-D printers? A. Because it saves designers much money.
B. Because their drones are custom machines. C. Because only high quality parts should be used. D. Because parts for drones are hardly available in shops. 35. What does the last paragraph imply?
A. The drone-design system works well. B. Drones can have no more than 5 propellers. C. Drones are usually named after their appearance. D. With more propellers, drones can carry more weight.

36 Through art children learn self-discipline, creativity, and confidence to succeed. It helps them learn about the world and see it in new ways. It provides a way to express thoughts, feelings, and hopes.
37 But if your child is very artistic, here are some suggestions for you to develop your child’s creativity and love of art.
Talk about art. One of the best ways to get your child excited about art is to be enthusiastic yourself. Talk about the history of a special work of art in your own home. Take a walk in your community, looking and talking about the buildings you and your child see. Talk about their
8
differences, types of roofs, number and placement of doors and windows, construction materials and decoration. 38
Encourage your child’s interest in art by providing materials. Crayons, modeling clay, different kinds of paper and found objects such as shells, buttons can be used to help your children make their own art. Provide a special place to work, such as an old table, and a drawer or shelf to store the materials.
39 Help your child come up with original ideas and build upon them. You might do this by reading only the beginning of a story, then asking your child to draw a picture showing how the story might end. When your child creates a work of art, accept the child’s work and his or her viewpoint of it so that you encourage the child to explore art further. 40 For example, point out a detail that is creative.
Stimulate interest. See if your community has a local art museum. While touring the museum, talk about the shapes and colors that make the objects interesting and attractive.
