阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中选出最佳答案。

A
The Navaho Indians live on large reservations in Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah. They raise sheep and horses as a business. The animals feed on grass growing on Navaho land.
The Indians got sheep and horses from the Spaniards in the 1600s. Later the sheep and horses became important to the Navahos, for wool, meat, and travel. But the animals were also a sign of wealth. A man with many sheep or horses was important in the community.
At one time, the Navahos had more than a million animals. But the sheep were eating the grass down to the ground. Each horse ate more grass than five sheep. Even the roots of the grass were dying and the ground was beginning to wash away in the rain. There were too many animals. Without
grass to eat the animals would die. The Navahos themselves would not have enough food.

Man has a big brain. He can think, learn and speak. Scientists once thought that men are different from animals because they can think and learn. They know that animals can learn—dogs, rats, birds can learn. So scientists are beginning to understand that men are different from animals because they can speak. Animals cannot speak. They make noises when they are afraid, or angry, or unhappy. Apes can understand some things more quickly than human, one or two have learnt a few words. But they are still different from us. They cannot join words and make sentences; they cannot think like us because they have no language. They can never think about the past or the future.
Language is a wonderful thing. Man has been able to build a modern world because he has language. Every child can speak his own language very well when he is four or five—but no animal learns to speak. How do children learn? What happens when we speak? Scientists do not know.
They only know that man can speak because he has a big brain.
6. In what way are men different from animals?
A. Men can understand things quickly.
B. Men can learn.
C. Men have learnt to use language.
D. Men have brains.
7. What is the thing an ape cannot do?
A. Making noises.　　　　 B. Understanding things.
C. Learning words.　　　　　　D. Speaking like men.
8. Scientists now know _______.
A. how children learn to speak　　　　　　B. why apes can learn a few words
C. man's brain helps him to learn to speak
D. what happens when men speak
9. What is the suitable topic for this passage?
A. Ape's Language.　　　　　  B. Man's brain and Language.
C. Human Brain.　　　　　　 D. Animals Learning.
10. Apes cannot join words. The word "join" means "______".
A. mix　　　 B. put together　　　C. fetch　　  D. form

C
Americans were shocked to discover that the national bird was in danger of disappearing from the skies forever. Studies in 1970 showed only about 1, 000, or fewer, bald eagles(秃鹰) in the country.
The major cause of the problem was people. The spread of civilization(文明) destroyed many of the eagles' feeding and nesting areas. And the eagles were being affected by D—D—T and other insect poisons. The poisons were in the animals the eagle ate. They reduced the eagles, ability(能力) to use calcium(钙). This made the outside of the eagles' eggs very thin. Often, the eggs broke before baby birds were developed.
In 1972, the U. S. government banned(禁止) D—D—T. People also became interested in protecting places where eagles live. And stronger efforts were made to carry out laws protecting the birds. Scientists began a program that placed baby bald eagles -- -- born under human care -- -- into nests of wild bald eagles. Often, the wild birds accepted the babies.
These efforts appear to have been successful in saving the American bald eagle. Today the number of the bald eagles has increased to more than 11, 000.
11. The bald eagle is ______.
A. a sign of danger　　　　B. a sign of the American nation
C. a sign of American civilization　　 D. a sign of wild birds
12. D—D—T used to be used to ______.
A. kill eagles　　　 B. kill baby eagles
C. kill insects　　　 D. break the eagles' eggs
13. The wild bald eagles seemed ______.
A. willing to raise the baby eagles hatched by man
B. unwilling to raise the baby eagles hatched by man
C. to wonder which were their won babies
D. willing to help the scientists to carry out their program
14. If no measures had been taken, the bald eagles would have ______.
A. died out in the country　　　　　B. nested(筑巢) in the mountains
C. broken all their eggs　　　　  D. become wild birds
15. Today Americans are no longer ______ the bald eagle.
A. intersted in　　　　 B. disappointed in
C. proud of　　　　　　 D. anxious about
