A
People realize that, although animals may not have the same intelligence（智力）as human beings, they are smart enough to learn certain things.
Dogs are extremely useful as companions for blind people. When a dog has been properly trained, he will always lead his blind master in the right direction and keep him out of danger. For example, seeing-eye dogs learn never to cross a busy road when cars are coming, even if their master ordered them to do so.
Horses are also able to learn many things. Horses that are used for guard or police duty must learn never to be frightened of noises, traffic, and other disturbances. Racing horses are able to run much faster than other horses, but they are also quite high strung（易紧张）. Therefore, it is necessary for those people who train them to be very patient(耐心) and understanding.
The moving pictures and television can use trained animals too. Some animals, such as monkeys and foxes, are easy to film. All you have to do is make a trail in front of the camera by dragging something that smells good to the animals over the ground. Big animals, such as lions and tigers, can be photographed as they bound happily back to their families and dinner. If a movie actor is nearby, the well-trained animal will pay no attention to him. However, the audience may imagine that the actor escaped a terrible death by the skin of his teeth.

A. to obey all orders B. to obey only safe orders
C. never to cross roads D. to cross road when ordered to do so
37. Race horses are hard to train because they are .
A. faster than other horses B. smaller than other horses

38. What does “make a trail” mean here in the last paragraph?
A. place something to attract the animal B. give the animal a certain task
C. order the animal to do things D. follow the animal to hunt
39. Lions can be photographed easily when .
A. they are following a trial of something that smells good to them
B. they are returning to their families
C. they have been trained to work with other animals
D. they do not know a movie-actor is nearby

Why don’t birds get lost on their long migratory (迁居的) flights? Scientists have puzzled over this question for many years. Now they’re beginning to fill in the blanks.
Not long ago, experiments showed that birds rely on the sun to guide them during daylight hours. But what about birds that fly mainly by night? Tests with artificial (人造的) stars have proved conclusively that certain night-flying birds are able to follow the stars in their long-distance flights.
One such bird—a warbler(鸣禽) —had spent its lifetime in a cage and had never flown under a natural sky. Yet it showed an inborn ability to use the stars for guidance. The bird’s cage was placed under an artificial star-filled sky at migration time. The bird tried to fly in the same direction as that taken by his outdoor cousins. Any change in the direction of the make-be-live stars caused a change in the direction of his flight.
Scientists think that warblers, when flying in daylight, use the sun for guidance. But the stars are apparently their principal means of navigation (导航). What do they do when the stars are hidden by clouds? Apparently, they find their way by such landmarks as mountain ranges, coast lines, and river courses. But when it’s too dark to see these, the warblers circle helplessly, unable to get their direction.
40. The reasons why birds don’t get lost on migratory flights .
A. have been known to scientists for many years B. have only recently been discovered
C. are known by everyone D. will probably remain a mystery
41. Warblers migrate .
A. from North America to South America B. only once during their lifetime
C. using what is apparently an inborn navigational ability
D. when they are freed from their cages
42. When the stars are hidden by clouds, warblers find their way by .
A. an artificial star B. their inborn ability C. some landmarks D. wind
43. This article is a good example of the way scientists .
A. jump to conclusions
B. discover workable（可行的） answers to general questions by studying particular cases
C. find a law and then investigate（调查）
D. are disappointed by the habits of animals
C
Animals like the lion are known as carnivorous (meat-eating) animals. They feed on smaller animals. But many other animals eat grass or plants. They are called herbivorous (plant-eating) animals.
You may be surprised to learn that there are carnivorous plants as well as carnivorous animals. Plants that grow in poor soil need other food. They trap (catch by a trick) small insects (昆虫) and take their bodies as food.
The pitcher plant (猪笼草) is a common carnivorous plant. This plant has a clever trap like a pitcher or jar. It even has a lid to keep out of the rain. The mouth of the pitcher is covered with something sweet like honeydew(蜜露). Insects come to the plant to feed on the honeydew. When they have eaten all that is round the mouth, they go into the pitcher to look for more. There is more honeydew deep in the pitcher and they go down to feed on it. The inner (里面的) wall of the pitcher is covered with fine hairs. These hairs point downwards so that the insects cannot climb out of the pitcher. They are trapped in it. They die there, and their bodies are taken as food by the plant.
44. Animals are divided into two kinds .
A. carnivorous animals and meat-eating animals
B. herbivorous animals and plant-eating animals
C. carnivorous animals and herbivorous animals
D. meat animals and plant animals
45. The pitcher plant uses to catch insects.
A. a trap like a pitcher or jar B. something sweet like honeydew
C. downward-pointing hairs in the inner wall D. all of the above
46. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. Tigers, lions and other meat-eating animals are called carnivorous animals.
B. Zebras, elephants and common farm animals are known as herbivorous animals.
C. All plants get food only from the soil.
D. It is something like honeydew in the pitcher that insects come to food on.
47. From this passage, we can mainly learn that .
A. Not all plants are carnivorous B. All plants are herbivorous
C. Not all animals are carnivorous D. Carnivorous plants can also be found
