The zebra belongs to the horse family. One of nature’s great mysteries is why the

zebra has stripes(条纹). One theory is that the stripes help the zebra cool down. On

hot days the black stripes get a lot hotter than the white area of the zebra and under

the black stripes there are special layers(层) of fat for protection. Hot air then rises off

the black stripes, forcing colder air down around the white areas, cooling the zebra

down This, however, is just a kind of theory. The stripes can also confuse predators(食

肉动物，掠食者)when zebras stay with other animals in great numbers.

Zebras have excellent hearing and eyesight and can run at speeds of up to 56

kilometers per hour. They also have a powerful kick that can cause serious injury to a

predator, like a lion, or an African wild dog. Usually the lead male of the herd stays at

the back of the group to defend against predators if necessary, while the females and

youngsters escape danger.

Zebras are herbivores that feed only on plants and lives mostly by eating grasses,

although they also might eat a bit of the leaves and stems of bushes. They eat grasses

for many hours each day, using their strong teeth. Spending so much time chewing

wears the zebras’ teeth down, so their teeth keep growing all their lives. As the dry

season arrives and the grasses die back, zebra herds travel to find more food and water

holes for drinking. Most zebras have no specific territories. They travel from place to

place, never staying in one area very long.

B. the black stripes help the zebra live through cold days

C. the zebra can be easily attacked by predators

Last July, my 12-year-old car died on California’s Santa Ana Freeway. It was an

hour before sunset, and I was 25 miles from home. I couldn’t reach anyone to pick me

up, so I decided to take a bus. Not knowing the routes, I figured I’d just head east. A

bus pulled up, and I asked the driver how far she was going. “Four more lights,” she

said. There was another bus I could take from there. This clearly was going to be a

long night. She dropped me off at the end of her route and told me which bus to look

for.

After waiting 30 minutes, I began to think about a very expensive taxi ride home.

Then a bus pulled up. There was no lighted number above its windshield (挡风玻璃).

It was out of service. But the door opened, and I was surprised to find that it was the

same driver. “ I just can’t leave you here,” she said. “ This isn’t the nicest place. I’ll

give you a ride home.” “You’ll drive me in the bus?” I asked, perplexed( 困惑的).

“No, I’ll take you in my car,” she said. “ It’s a long way,” I protested. “Come on,” she

said. “I have nothing else to do.” As we drove from the station in her car, she began

telling me a story. A few days earlier, her brother had run out of gas. A good

Samaritan picked him up, took him to a service station and then back to his car.

“I’m just passing the favor along,” she said. When I offered her money as a

thank-you, she wouldn’t hear of it. “That wouldn’t make it a favor,” she said. “Just do

something nice for somebody. Pass it along.”

4. Judging from its context, the place where the writer waited for the second bus was

___________.

A. very quiet and peaceful B. dark without street lights

C. neither clean nor beautiful D. a little unsafe

5. Why did the writer change his mind after waiting for 30 minutes at the end of the

route?

A. No bus would come at the time.

B. A taxi ride would be more comfortable.

C. He became impatient and a bit worried.

D. He knew the driver would never return.

6. The bus driver drove the writer home later because ______________.

A. she happened to go in the same direction

B. she wanted to do something good for other people

C. her brother told her to do so

D. she wanted to earn more money

7. The bus driver hoped that the writer ______________.

A. would do as she did B. would keep her in memory

C. would give the money to others D. would do her a favor

Many cars in advertisements and on exhibition in the United States are red, blue

or green, but almost 75 percent of new cars sold in the United States are black, white,

silver or gray.

Les Jackson is a reporter who writes about cars. He says the colors of cars

Americans choose do not show dirt. He says that means the owners wash their cars

less in order to save money. And he notes some areas that are suffering from water

shortages do not permit people to wash their cars often.

Dan Benton works for a company called Axalta, which makes supplies for

international car makers. He says white cars are often sold more expensive than cars

of other colors. And he notes that white cars “absorb(吸收)less energy” than cars of

other colors. This means temperatures inside them are lower in warmer areas. Benton

also says research at Monash University in Australia suggests that there is a lower risk

of crashes during the day for white cars compared with darker ones.

Car buyers in other countries also like white. Jane Harrington works for PPG

Industries, a company that makes paint for cars. She said in China, buyers say white

makes a small car look bigger.

About 11 percent of cars sold in North America are red and 8 percent are blue.

Green has become less popular. Benton notes that in the mid 1990s green was the

most popular color in North America. Today, green is hard to find.

Sometime in the future, people may not have to choose the color of their cars

—— technology may let owners change their cars’ paint color anytime.

8. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?

A. Most Americans don’t like red cars.

B. People in America are not allowed to wash their cars.

C. Many people prefer to choose white cars in America.

D. Americans may consider the cost of cleaning when choosing cars.

9. Why do many people choose white cars?

A. They are much cheaper than cars of other colors..

B. They are much safer while crashing.

C. They are bigger than cars of other colors.

D. They are more comfortable inside in warmer areas.

10. What do we know from the text?

A. Les Jackson is a member of Axalta.

B. Most Americans rarely wash their cars.

C. PPG Industries mainly produces cars in China.

D. Green cars were once popular in North America.

11. What does the text mainly tell us?

A. Choices of car colors B. How to buy a good car.

C. Differences of car colors. D. Popular car colors in history.

Taking a picture of your tongue with a mobile phone could soon tell you how

healthy you are. Researchers believe the images can reveal( 揭示 )important

information about a patient’s health and even give them early warning of serious

illness.

A team at the University of Missouri is developing a system that can analyze (分
