29、 only fair that I told her the truth“ Well,we need to prove it s not cancer ” I said and talked briefly about someof the tests I was going to orderHalf an hour later, a nurse called me: "Mr. McMahon s daughter broke down she said you told her he had cancer. " My heart sank. By the time I a

30、rrived at the ward, my consultant was already there, explaining that we still had to run lots of tests and that it was by no meansconfirmed that he had cancer.

31、arth did you do that? ” she asked to disbelief . I looked at her and bit my lip . "She asked me what I was worried about and I told her. " I said, hanging my head . "And give her more to worry about? ” replied my consultant . “You don' t say the word 'cancer' until it '

36、 may not be the perfect policy.BHowling is a behavior commonly observed amonga wolf pack As pack animals, wolves work together to hunt and rely on howling as an important means of communication amongeach other There are different explanations of a wolf s howl and it appears that there may be more to

37、 discoverOne theory is that wolves howl to bond better together It s almost asif howling together helps the pack stay together Perhaps something similarto people feeling a sense of involvement with each other when singing a song together But this theory may be wrong, explains Fred H Harrington, apro

38、fessor who studies wolf behavior Indeed, there have been times whenwolves have been seen one momenthowling in a chorus, and the next, quarreling amongeach other It appears that usually the lowest- ranking membersof the pack mayactually be “ punished ” for joining in the chorus at times So is howling

39、 a way to strengthen a social bond or just a way to reconfirm status among its members? Why do wolves howl for sure?What is clear, however, is that howling is often used among packmates to locate each other Hunting grounds are distant and it happens that wolves may separate from one another at times

40、 When this happens, howling appears to be an excellent means of gathering Howling, interestingly, is a contagious behavior When one wolf starts tohowl, very likely others will follow This is often seen to occur in the morning, as if wolves were doing some sort o f “ roll call ” where wolves all howl

41、 together to report their presence 55. What is the possible similarity between wolves howling together andhuman s singing in chorus?A The act of calling each other 8 The sense of accomplishment C The act of hunting for something D The sense of belonging to a group 56. Why does Harrington think the “

42、 social bond ” theory may be wrong?A Wolves separate from each other after howling 8 Wolves tend to protect their hunting grounds C Wolves sometimes have quarrels after howling together D Wolves of low rank are encouraged to join in the chorus57. Researchers are sure that wolves often howl toA show

43、their ranksB find their companionsC report the missing onesD express their loneliness58. “Howling is a contagious behavior ” (in the last paragraph ) meansA. howling is a signal for huntingB. howling is a way of communicationC. howling often occurs in the morningD. howling spreads from one to anothe

44、rCIn today ' s throw away society, dealing with the city ' s growing mountain of waste is an increasing challenge for the city council（市議會(huì)）Recently, Edinburgh is faced with the problem of disposing of （處理）about 250,000 million tons of waste a year . Despite different ways to dispose of much

45、of it in a green manner-largely through encouraging recycling-its aging facilities such as the Powder hall landfill do not have the ability to deal with it .The European Union （ EU） has issued a new policy, regulating how such mountains of waste are to be disposed of . The five councils （Edinburgh,

46、East Lothian, West Lothian . Midlethian and Borders ） face fines around £ 18million a year from 2013 it they don ' t increase recycling levels and rely less on landfill . With this in mind, the councils got together with the idea of building a large incinerator plant（垃圾焚燒廠(chǎng)）to burn half of t

47、he waste produced intheir districts . But this plan fell apart after the change of target levels by a new UK government waste policy which required that no more than 25% of the city ' s waste should be d isposed of in this way by 2025After the plan was abandoned, a private companywhich already t

48、ransported millions of tons of the city ' s waste by train to a landfill site near Dunbar, offered an alternative solution when it suggested opening a huge waste site near Portobello .Since Powderhall is supposed to close in 2015, it seemed necessary for the members of the Edinburgh Council to a

49、ccept the suggestion . But soon they turned it down after 700 local objections reached thembecause it would have meant hundreds of lorries a day making loud noise through heavily populated areas .That still leaves the council with a problem . By 2013,only50%of 1995levels of waste will be allowed to

50、be sent to landfill. Even if recycling targetsare met, there will still be a large amount of rubbish to be burnt up. Dueto this, Edinburgh and Midlothian councils have now decided to work together to build an incinerator plant as time to find a solution is fast running out. 59. The main way of handl

53、. To open a new landfill nearby.B. To close the Powderhall landfill in 2015.C. To set up a plant for burning waste.D. To persuade people to deduce their waste .DFeeling blue about world? ”Cheer up . " Says science writer Matt Ridley . " The world has never been a better place to live in, a

54、nd it will keep on getting better both for humans and for nature. ”Ridley calls himself a rational optimist rational,because he' scarefully weighed the evidence; optimistic, because that evidence shows human progress to be both unavoidable and good . And this is what he ' s set out to prove

55、from a unique point of view in his most recent book. The RationalOptimist . He views mankind as grand enterprise that on the whole, has done little but progress for 100,000 years . He backs his finding with hard facts gathered through years of research .Here' s how he explains his views .1) Shop
