Buck's first day in the frozen Northland was terrible.Every hour there was filled with shock and frightening surprise.Here was no peace，no rest，or a moment's safety either—only endless noise and movement.At every moment life itself was in danger，because these dogs and men were not town dogs and men.They knew only the law of club （棍棒） and tooth.
Buck had never seen dogs fight like these dogs：they were like wolves.He learnt this from his friend，Curly.She tried to make friends with a big dog.But without warning，the dog jumped on Curly.Curly's face was torn open （撕开） from eye to mouth.And the fight did not finish then.More dogs ran up and made a circle around the fight，watching silently.Curly tried to attack （攻击） the dog who had bitten her.He bit her a second time，and jumped away.When Curly tried to attack again，he knocked her backwards.And she fell on the ground.Curly never stood up，and this was what the other dogs were waiting for.In a moment，she was under a crowd of dogs.Then Francois and other men with clubs jumped in among the dogs.Soon the dogs were chased away （被赶走）.But Curly lay dead in the snow，her body torn almost to pieces.Curly's death often came back to Buck in his dreams.He understood that once a dog was down on the ground，he was dead.
That night Buck found a problem.Where was he going to sleep？He found Francois was in the tent.Buck followed him quietly.But when he went in and wanted to sleep in the corner，Francois shouted angrily and beat him with a club.Buck ran out and walked around the tent，very，very cold，wondering what to do.Suddenly，the snow under his feet fell in，and he felt something move.He jumped back，waiting for the attack，but heard only a friendly bark.There，in a warm hole under the snow，was Billee.So he knew what he could do._____.He slept well，although （尽管） his dreams were bad.
In the north，Buck was learning the law of club and tooth.He learnt to eat any food—anything that he could get his teeth into.He learnt to break the ice on water holes with his feet when he wanted to drink.He learnt to travel through the forest and kill for meat with wild dogs.He was stronger，and could see and smell better than ever before.It was easy for him to learn to fight like a wolf，because it was in his blood.
31.Curly's death made Buck realize ______ in the north.
①how terrible the new life was
②the secret of winning a friend
③how dangerous the men were
④the importance of fighting like wolves
A. ①② B. ②③ C. ①④ D. ③④
32.Which of the following can be put in_____？ ______
A. Buck returned to the tent secretly and rested in the corner
B. Buck howled to express his anger at the men
C. Buck dug himself a hole like Billee's
D. Buck decided to fight Francois for the tent
33.What's the best title for the passage？ ______
A. The way to be wild. B. A cold world for dogs.
C. A dog's fight against men. D. The secret of snow holes.

① All living things need energy and animals get it from their food.But do you know how energy is transferred （转移） among living things？
② Animals get energy in different ways.Plants，known as producers，get their energy from sunshine.Animals must eat plants or other animals to live.For example，snails and insects like grasshoppers feed on plants to get the energy they need.In turn，these animals can be the food of bigger animals，like birds or frogs.But they are not the final bosses but foxes.
③ When they get energy from other living things，they will also get some harmful substances （有害物质） from one to another.That means the higher the living things are in a food chain （食物链）， the larger amount （数量） of harmful substances they will get.
④ In a food chain，animals that consume plants as their main food are called elementary （初等的） consumers such as deer，grasshoppers，and snails.In most food chains，elementary consumers become food of secondary consumers.For example，a small fish can eat algae （藻类） and then be eaten by a bigger fish.Tertiary （第三级的） consumers are the third level in a food chain，like snakes or sea lions.Energy is passed at each stage of the food chain until it reaches the top predators （捕食者），like lions or sharks.
⑤ Food chains are important for a healthy environment.If one part of the food chain is changed，it can cause problems to the whole chain.For example，insects are very important for frogs.Studies show that the number of insects has dropped by about 40% in the past 30 years because of overuse of pesticide （杀虫剂）.Without enough insects，frogs will have less food to eat，and their numbers will drop.This can lead to fewer snakes，as snakes depend on frogs for food.Finally，eagles，which eat snakes，may also see a drop in their numbers.
⑥ In conclusion，each part of the food chains plays an important part.Let's work together to protect the balance of nature and ensure a healthy planet for all living things.
34.According to the passage，what are the kinds of living things in Figure 1？ ______
A. B.
C. D.
35.Which word shares the same meaning with the underlined word "consume" in paragraph ④？ ______
A. give B. find C. eat D. grow
36.Which of the following ways is NOT used by the writer to develop his idea？ ______
A. Giving examples.
B. Explaining reasons.
C. Listing numbers.
D. Analyzing （分析） similarities and differences.
37.What can you infer （推断） from the passage？ ______
A. Top predators would like to eat all the living things in the whole food chain.
B. The change of one part of a food chain can cause problems to the whole chain.
C. Secondary consumers play a more important part-in food chains than tertiary ones.
D. The number of eagles may change that of foxes.

58.
Sherlock Holmes was an INTP.Ernest Hemingway was an ESTP.Michael Jackson was an ISFP…
What do these four-lettered words mean？Well，if you have heard of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator （MBTI），you might know them.With 93 questions，the test groups all of the different people in the world into 16 personality tests in the world，but the MBTI is perhaps the most popular one.More than 1.5 million people take it every year.
However，the MBTI is not an accurate （精准的） way to find something as changeable as a person's personality.Its creators （创造者），Katharine Briggs and her daughter Isabel Briggs-Myers，were not trained psychologists （心理学家）.What's more，the two were unable to scientifically prove （证明） their findings.
Then how has this test become so popular？To answer this question，we need to find out what drove Briggs and Briggs-Myers to create it.Briggs was a mother.After reading Carl Jung's Psychological Types，she decided to create a tool to help parents understand their children's interests.Briggs-Myers continued to work on the MBTI in the 1940s.Traditional personality tests would divide people into two simple groups：those who were good and those who were bad.The woman wanted everyone to be able to understand her test，while people may be different from one another，they are all created equal （生而平等）.This perhaps holds the key to the MBTI's success：The test never judges personalities negatively （负面地）.
The MBTI may not be the best way for checking one's personality，but this doesn't mean it's totally useless.Many people are hungry for self-knowledge.The MBTI just offers that knowledge in a painless way.
(1) According to the MBTI，how many personality types are there in the world？
______
(2) What was the relationship between the two creators of the MBTI？
______
(3) Why did Katharine Briggs decide to create the MBTI？
______
(4) What's the key to the MBTI's success？
______
(5) In your opinion，how can MBTI help us in our daily life？
______
