One moment it was quiet and calm in the forest, the next, the air was charged with tension. The elephant had heard the distant alarm calls of animals and her mood suddenly changed. I urged the elephant deeper into the forest. We sounded like a forest fire --- cracking, snapping, trailblazing. But through all the noise came a sharp warning cry. The elephant stopped and we heard it again --- the tell-tale call of a spotted deer.
I looked quickly around the shadows of the forest. Rays of sunlight shone through tree branches, beneath which the patchwork（交错）of green plants and shadows-within-shadows would make tiger stripes（条纹）look more attractive. Apart from an occasional noise from the elephant’s stomach, the forest was silent.
Gradually, the tension slipped from our bodies. The elephant seized a nearby branch and put it into its mouth. I reached forward and gently moved my hand over the elephant’s neck; there was a soft part, free of wrinkles and hairs, behind her ear.
This was my fourth time to sense the aura of the forest in Corbett, although I saw no tigers in the end. Located at the foot of the Himalayan mountains, Corbett is home to about 135 Bengal tigers, but the forest seemed to be guarding their whereabouts（出没处）, a silent reminder of their secrecy and rarity. Still, I was happy enough touching the elephant behind the ear. If I had so desperately wanted to see a tiger, I could have gone to a zoo. After all, spotting tigers merely confirms their beauty; tracking them can make you aware of something more.
小题1:Which of the following was a clear signal of alarm?| A．The elephant stopped. | | B．A spotted deer called. | | C．The elephant seized a branch. | | D．The forest was silent for a while. |
小题2:The author begins his account of the tour in the forest mainly by _______.| A．describing various sounds | | B．comparing different animals | | C．listing different activities | | D．introducing various plants |
小题3:What does the underlined part “to sense the aura” most probably mean?| A．To see the diversity. | | B．To enjoy the scenery. | | C．To feel the atmosphere. | | D．To experience the freedom. |
小题4:How does the author feel after several visits to Corbett?| A．Seeing a Bengal tiger is quite thrilling. | | B．It is very time-consuming to travel in Corbett. | | C．It is really worthwhile to study the animals in Corbett. | | D．The process of finding Bengal tigers is most appealing. |

解析
试题分析：
本文记叙了作者骑着大象在森林追踪老虎的过程和这个过程中的心理体验。
小题1:细节题。从第一段But through all the noise came a sharp warning cry. The elephant stopped and we heard it again --- the tell-tale call of a spotted deer.一句可知，梅花鹿的鸣叫是“报警”的声音。A、D两项均是听到“报警”之后的结果。选择B。
小题2:推断题。从第一段distant alarm calls, all the noise, a sharp warning cry等词语可知，作者开头描述了森林里的各种声音。选择A。
小题3:词义推断题。从上下文可知，作者去森林是为了感受追踪老虎的那份神秘、兴奋和紧张的氛围。故选择C项。
小题4:主旨大意题。文章最后一段After all, spotting tigers merely confirms their beauty; tracking them can make you aware of something more.一句告诉我们，在作者看来，真正看见老虎只是证实它们的美，并且直接去动物园就可以实现这个目的；但是追踪老虎却能带来更多感受，作者真正感兴趣的是这个过程。故选择D项。 |

Where has the Time gone? is the hottest song that has moved thousands of Chinese. Chinese parents give their children endless love and ask nothing in return. However, sometimes, daughters and sons are too busy growing up and forget that their parents are getting older and older. What should we do? Let’s have a look at a letter of a father’s.
Dear son，
One day if you see me old and I am not myself, have patience and try to understand me. If I get dirty when eating…, if I cannot dress…, have patience. Remember the hours I spent teaching it to you.
If, when I speak to you, I say the same things one thousand and one times, do not stop me and listen to me. When you were small, I had to read to you one thousand and one times the same story until you get to sleep.
When I do not want to have a shower, neither shame（羞辱） me nor scold（责备） me. Remember when I had to chase you with a thousand excuses I invented, in order that you wanted to bath.
When you see me meet something new, give me the necessary time and don’t laugh at me. I taught you how to do so many things… to eat well, to dress well… to face life.
If I do not want to eat, do not force me. I know well when I need to and when not. When my legs do not allow me to walk, give me your hand the same way I did when you gave your first steps.
When sometimes I lose the memory during our conversation, let me have the necessary time to remember. And if I cannot do it, do not become nervous because the most important thing is not my conversation but to be with you and to have you listen to me.
Yours,
FFather

To be a real gentleman, you should know that true forgiveness is one of the most remarkable qualities a human can possess!
In the fighting between two countries in the 1970s, a young man was walking from one village to the next when he was by an armed guerrilla fighter from the enemy country．The fighter the young man down the hill where he was to be .
But a（n） thing happened． The young man, who had military training, was able to disarm the fighter．Now, the table was and it was the fighter who was ordered down the hill．
As they walked, , the young man began to reflect on what was happening．Recalling the of his mother, "Love your enemies; do good to those who you." He found he could go no farther．
He 10 the gun into the bushes, told the fighter he was to go and turned back the hill．
Minutes later, he heard footsteps53 behind him as he walked．"Is this the end after all?" he . Perhaps the fighter had got the gun and wanted to finish him off．But he continued on, glancing back, until his enemy reached him, only to grab him in a hug and pour out for sparing his life．
Mercy often wears the face of ．And though it usually isn"t an enemy in uniform-that we are challenged to forgive, we have for mercy every day. Family members and friends, co-workers and neighbors and even strangers have for our forgiveness. You know who they are.

Recently, I came back to India from Munich and I had a lot of chocolates for them．I met one of the housekeeping staff members called Babu．I gave him a packet of chocolates and told him to distribute(分发)them in his department．His face lit up with joy and thanked me again and again，which made me very happy．
But the didn’t end here．The best part of it was that Babu actually distributed the chocolates to in the company equally instead of just distributing them among members in his ．So it was so touching for me to see this.
I find it really hard to why we，who have the money to buy chocolates and other goodies，do not feel like but just think about how to get more． ，Babu，who earns only just about enough to raise his family, was so generous and did not even one extra chocolate for himself．I want to request all of us learn from Babu for being so and caring!
