Jack put his bag down quickly and pulled his jacket open with both hands, making himself look big to the puma. It worked. The puma hesitated (犹豫), ready to attack Jack, but ready to forget the whole thing, too.Jack took Ben and held him across his body, making a cross. Now the puma’s enemy looked even bigger. It rose up, ready to move away, but unluckily Ben was afraid and tried to break free of Jack.“Ben, no!” shouted his father.But Ben made it and ran quickly. That is the last thing one should do with a puma. The second Ben broke free, Jack threw himself on the puma, just as it jumped from the rock. They hit each other in mid-air and both fell. The puma was on Jack in a second, forgetting about Ben, which was what Jack wanted.Pumas are not as big as most people think, and a person with a strong will takes a chance, even with just his fist (拳头). As the puma began to hit Jack’s left shoulder, Jack hit its eyes and its head with his fist. The animal cried loudly and put its head back. Jack followed up with his other fist. At the moment, the boy was running back to help his father.“Flashlight, Ben.” Shouted Jack.While Jack began shouting as well as fighting to draw the puma’s attention from Ben, the boy reached for the flashlight. He immediately turned it on and shone it directly at the puma’s eyes. The sudden strong light frightened the puma, causing it to be blinded for a while. Jack and Ben continued to move backward until they were out of its sight.The whole fight lasted for about fifty seconds.26. Why did Jack make himself look bigger?A. To cool down.B.

He was the first scientist to believe that life could come only from life. His research showed that tiny germs (细菌) spread diseases, and the spread of the germs could be controlled. With this knowledge, humans were able to save many lives.Pasteur discovered a way to make milk, wine, and food safe. The method, known as pasteurization, was named after him. One day, a winemaker had bad-tasting wine and asked Pasteur for help. Pasteur found that the bad-tasting wine had some unusual germs. If he killed these germs, maybe he could keep the wine from turning terrible. After trying different ways to kill the germs, he found heating the wine seemed to work best. Later, Pasteur found out that by heating these foods and freeing them from harmful germs, they could be better kept. The heat kills the germs that spread diseases.Pasteur also helped greatly in medicine. In the summer of 1885, nine-year-old Joseph was attacked by a sick dog with rabies, a very dangerous disease. There was no medicine for rabies at that time. Luckily, Pasteur was studying about the germs that cause rabies. He believed that he had a medical method for rabies, but he never gave it to a person before. However, the doctor said the child was dying, so Pasteur gave Joseph daily medical help for ten days. Slowly, the child became better. This opened the way for the development of vaccinations (疫苗). Vaccinations keep humans from contracting certain illnesses and help them stay away from many diseases.During Pasteur’s life, he touched on many problems. A simple description of his achievement doesn’t show how excellent he was. What Pasteur achieved for the scientific world make him one of the most important scientists of all time.30. Why is heating needed in the method of pasteurization?A. Hot wine tastes much better.B. People prefer to drink hot milk.C. Cold food spreads diseases easily.D. Harmful germs are kept from the food.31. What does the underlined word “contracting” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Studying.B. Treating.C. Getting.D. Killing.32. How do Paragraph 2 and 3 support the main topic of the passage?A. By giving examples of Pasteur’s achievements.B. By describing the risk of Pasteur’s experiments.C. By listing Pasteur’s efforts to save dying people.D. By explaining Pasteur’s methods of heating food.33. In which book may you probably find this passage?A. Great Minds in French History.B. Big Discoveries in Animal Medicine.C. The Development of Food Safety.D. The Useful Chemicals in Inventions.（C）Grown-ups can’t often remember much about what happened in their early age. As a result, some people think we aren’t able to make memories before we’re 4 or 5years old. But researchers studying early memories don’t think so. They believe we do start making memories at a very young age. However, what we remember about our early years seems to change as we grow up.Researchers worked with 140 children aged between 4 and 13. First, they asked the children to describe their earliest memory. Then they asked them about how old they were when the event took place. Next, they asked the children’s parents to make sure that the event actually happened. All the answers were written down. Two years later, the researchers went back to the children and asked them again, “What’s your earliest memory?”Nearly all the children who were aged between 4 and 7 in the first interview said something very different in the second interview. And when the researchers reminded them of what they’d said the first time, many of the children said: “No! That never happened to me.” On the other hand, many of the children who were between 10 and 13 at the first interview described the same memory in the second interview. This seems to suggest that our memories change in the early years, but that at around the age of ten, the things that we remember remain.According to the study, the researchers also found that children’s early memories were often happy ones. However, people used to think that most early memories were about very stressful things that happened to them as children, because bad things stand out in mind. In fact, stressful events were only a small percentage of what the children said they remembered.34. What do we know about our memories according to the research?A. We don’t remember stressful things in life.B. We don’t realize we can change our memories.C. We begin to make memories when we are little.D. We start to make memories at around the age of 10.35. How does the researchers check whether the children’s earliest memories are true?A. By recording their answers.B. By turning to their parents for help.C. By asking them again two years later.D. By dividing them into different groups.36. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. The children aged from 8 to 11 in the first interview.B. The children aged from 10 to 13 in the first interview.C. The children aged from 4 to 7 in the second interview.D. The children aged from 6 to 9 in the second interview.37. What will the researchers probably go on studying according to the passage?A. What children’s first or earliest memory actually is.B. Who is responsible for checking children’s memories.C. Why children remember certain events but not others.D. Whether the earliest memory change as people grow up.（D）Dear Mike,I hope this letter finds you well.
