20、rs, or he would have known that trouble was coming, not only for himself, but for every big dog, strong of muscle and with long, warm hair in California. Men had found gold in the Yukon, and these men wanted big, strong dogs to work in the cold and snow of the north.Buck lived at a big house in the
21、sunkissed Santa Clara valley. Judge Millers place, it was called. There were large gardens and fields of fruit trees around the house, and a river nearby. In a big place like this, of course, there were many dogs. There were house dogs and farm dogs, but they were not important. Over this great land
22、 Buck ruled. Here he was born and here he had lived the four years of his life. He was not so largehe weighed only one hundred and forty pounds. But he had saved himself by not becoming a mere house dog. Hunting and outdoor delights had kept down the fat and hardened his muscles. He went swimming wi
23、th Judge Millers sons, and walking with his daughters. He carried the grandchildren on his back, and he sat at Judge Millers feet in front of the warm library fire in winter. During the four years, he had a fine pride in himself which came of good living and universal respect. He was king of Judge M

And he did not know that Manuel, one of the gardeners helpers, was in bad need of money for his hobby of gambling (赌博) and for his large family. One day, the Judge was at a mee
25、ting and the boys were busy organizing an athletic club. No one saw Manuel and Buck go off on what Buck imagined 3was merely an evening walk. Only one man saw them arrive at the railway station.

26、ck had accepted the rope with quiet dignity (自尊)He had learned to trust in men he knew and to give them credit. But when the ends of the rope were placed in the strangers hands, Buck roared, and was surprised when the rope tightened around his neck, shutting off his breath. In extreme anger, he jump
27、ed at the man. The man caught him and suddenly Buck was thrown over on his back. Then the rope tightened cruelly while Buck struggled, his tongue out of his mouth. Never in all his life had he been so badly treated. Never in all his life had he been so angry. For a few moments he was unable to move,
28、 and it was easy for the two men to put him into the train.When Buck woke up, the train was still moving. The man was sitting and watching him, but Buck was too quick for him and he bit the mans hand hard. Then the rope was pulled again and Buck had to let go.That evening, the man took Buck to the b
29、ack room of a bar in San Francisco. The barman looked at the mans hand and trousers covered in blood.“How much are they paying you for this?” he asked.“Only get fifty dollars.”“And the man who stole himhow much did he get?” asked the barman.“A hundred. He wouldnt take less.”“That makes a hundred and
30、 fifty. Its a good price for a dog like him.”Buck spent that night in a cagelike box. He could not understand what it all meant. What did they want with him, these strange men? And where were Judge Miller and the boys?The next day Buck was carried in the box to the railway station and put on a train

34、uck was sure that the Millers would come to his rescueDBuck realized he was being sent to the north to help people seek goldDResearchers discovered a new snake species (物种) in Madagascar and named it “ghost snake” for its pale grey colour and trick. They studied the snakes physical characteristics a
35、nd genetics (遗传学), which showed it is a new species. The researchers Sara Ruane and her workmates from the LSU Museum of Natural Science in Madagascar named it “Madagascarophis lolo”, which means the ghost in Malagasy.The “ghost snake” is part of cat-eyed snakes, which are often found among snakes t
36、hat are active at night. Many of the cat-eyed snakes are found in developed areas or degraded (退化的 ) forests; however, the researchers found the “ghost snake” on the national parks rocks.The researchers were surprised to find the “ghost snakes” next closest relative is a snake called “Madagascarophi
37、s fuchsi”, which was discovered at a site about 100 kilometres north of Ankarana several years ago. Both were found in rocky, isolated (孤立的) areas. “I think whats exciting and important about this work is that even though the cat-eyed snakes could be one of the most common groups of snakes in Madaga
38、scar, there are still new species we dont know,” Ruane said.4Ruane and her workmates discovered the “ghost snake” after hiking for more than 17 miles in the rain from their field site to the Ankarana Park. “It was really hard and a lot of work, but the payoff was big,” Ruane said. Snakes are hard to
39、 find under good environments. So these researchers did their fieldwork during the rainy season in Madagascar when snakes and their prey (猎物) were active.After discovering this new species, the researchers returned to the US to do the genetic study. Ruane got DNA from the “ghost snake” and “Madagasc
40、arophis fuchsi”She compared it to decide how similar the new species was to others. And Ruane and her workmates mapped the genetic family tree. All of the researches they did supported this is a new species.33What is the part reason that the snake is named the “ghost snake”？AIt has eyes that look li
41、ke a cats.BIts always active at night.CIts very good at learning.DIt has a ghost appearance.34Why do the researchers work in the wild during the rainy season?ABecause it is the best season in Madagascar.BBecause few snakes attack people in this season.CBecause snakes and their prey are active in thi
42、s season.DBecause they can find other animals at the same time.35Whats the researchers purpose of doing the genetic study in the last paragraph?ATo map the genetic family tree of animals.BTo write a scientific report on snakes.CTo find more information about this snakes habit.DTo ensure if the “ghos

44、friend Hanuman, the Monkey King, with some land. Organizers of the annual Monkey Buffet use more than 3,000 kg of fruits and vegetables to prepare for the feast.This event is held in England. Though it might sound very gentle, it is actually very dangerous. Running down a very steep hill behind a 7-
45、pound wheel of cheese can be very dangerous. In fact, the police have attempted to ban the event, but participants have refused to carry out the ban. Men and their cheese wheels cannot be separated so easily. 37 Simple: the cheese is set rolling down the hill, and the racers run down the hill after
46、the cheese. However, as the cheese can reach speeds of up to 70 miles per hour, it rarely happens that someone catches the cheese. 38 In this festival, grown men jump over newborns, with their parents permission. 39 This custom has been observed since 1620; any onlookers who seem to be in need of “c
