One thing the tour books don’t tell you
about London is that 2,000 of its residents are foxes. As native as the royal
family, they fled the city about centuries ago after developers and pollution
moved in. But now that the environment is cleaner, the foxes have come home, one
of the many wild animals that have moved into urban areas around the
world.
"The number and variety of wild animals in urban areas is
increasing," says Gomer Jonas, president of the National Institute for Urban
Wildlife, in Columbia, Maryland. A survey of the wildlife in New York’s Central
Park last year tallied the species of mammals; including muskrats, shrews and
flying squirrels. A similar survey conducted in the 1890s counted only five
species. One of the country’s largest populations of raccoons(浣熊) now lives in

Passage Two
One thing almost everyone is agreed on, including Americans, is that they place a very high valuation up on success. Success does not necessarily mean material rewards, but recognition of some sort-preferably measurable. If a boy turn out to be a preacher(传真者) instead of a businessman, that’s all right. But the bigger his church is, the more successful he is judged to be.
A good many things contributed to this accent on success. There was the Puritan(清教徒) belief in the virtue of work, both for its own sake and because the rewards it brought were regarded as signs of God’s love. There was the richness of opportunity in a land waiting to be settleD. There was the lack of a settled society with fixed ranks and classes, so that a man was certain to rise through achievement. Here was the de- termination of an immigrant to gain in the new world what bad been denied to him in the old, and on the part of his children an urge to throw off the
A. success is highly valued in American society
B. success surely brings material rewards
C. success equals measurable recognition
D. people agree on what success means

[单项选择] Passage Two
Every living thing has an inner
biological clock that controls behavior. The clock works all the time even when
there are no outside signs to mark the passing of time. The biological clock
tells plants when to form flowers and when the flowers should open. It tells
insects when to leave the protective cocoon and fly away. And it tells animals
when to eat, sleep and wake. It controls body temperature, the release of
some hormones and even dreams. These natural daily events are circadian
rhythms.
Man has known about them for thousands of years. But
the first scientific observation of circadian rhythms was not made until 1729.
In that year French astronomer, Jean-Jacques d’Ortous de Mairan, noted that one
of his plants opened its leaves at the same time every morning, and closed them
at the same time every night. The plant did this
A. even when it was kept in a murky place all day
B. even if it was placed in the moonlight
C. even when he was observing it from a dark place
D. even during the night time
