2．One spring morning many years ago，I was on southeastern Alaska's Kupreanof Island when I saw a huge wolf caught in a trap．From her appearance，I realized it was a mother wolf and that somewhere hungry pups （小崽） were waiting for her．I guessed she had been trapped only a few days．So her pups were probably still alive，hungry，surely no more than a few miles away．But I thought if I released the wolf，she would tear me to pieces．
So I decided to search for her pups instead．Following some footprints，I finally found four tiny pups．One by one，I placed them in a bag and headed back．When the mother wolf spotted me，she stood up，possibly picking up the smell of her young．I released the pups，and they raced to her．
What next？I wondered．The mother wolf was clearly suffering．Yet each time I moved in her direction，she let out a threatening sound．
I put up a shelter for myself and was soon asleep nearby．At dawn，I was awakened by the four pups sniffing at my face and hands．I glanced toward the anxious mother wolf．If I could only win her confidence，I thought．It was her only hope．Over the next few days，I fed her，talked gently with her and played with the pups．But the big animal never took her eyes off me．When I was beginning to lose hope，at dusk on the fifth day，I saw a wagging（摇摆） of her tail．I moved within the length of her chain．She remained still．My heart in my mouth，I slowly placed my hand on the wolf's injured leg． "OK，" I said， "We'll have you out of there．" I pressed and the trap sprang open，the wolf pulled free．
Slowly，she headed toward me．She smelled my hands and arms and then began licking（添） my fingers．I was astonished．This went against everything I'd ever heard about wolves．Yet，strangely，it all seemed so natural．

3．In the summer of 1978 an English farmer was driving his tractor through a field of wheat when he discovered that some of his wheat was lying flat on the ground.The fattened（压平的）wheat formed a circle about six meters across.Around this circle were four smaller circles of flattened wheat.The five circles were in a formation like five dots.During the following years，farmers in England found the strange circles in their fields more and more often.
The circles are called"crop circles"because they appear in the fields of grain-usually wheat or com.The grain in the circles lies flat on the ground but never broken；it continues to grow，and farmers can later harvest it.Farmers always discover the crop circles in the morning，so the circles probably form at night.They appear only in the months from May to September.
At first，people thought that the circles were a hoax.Probably young people were making them as a joke，or farmers were making them to attract jye.aiurists.To prove that the circles were a hoax，people tried to make circles exactly like the ones that farmer had found.They couldn't do it.They couldn't enter a field of grain without leaving tracks（痕迹），and they couldn't flatten the grain without breaking it.
Many people believe that beings from outer space are making the circle to communicate with us from far away and that the crop circles are messages from them.
Scientists who have studied the crop circles suggested several possibilities.Some scientists say that a downward rush of wind leads to the formation of the circles-the same downward rush of air that sometimes causes an airplane to crash.Other scientists say that forces within the earth cause the circles to appear.There is one problem with all these scientific explanations：crop circles often appear in formations，like the five-dot formation.It is hard to believe that any natural force could form those.
（1）In the summer of 1978，an English farmer discovered in his field that.
A．some of his wheat had been damaged
B．his grain was growing up in circles
C．his grain was moved into several circles
D．some of his wheat had fallen onto the ground
（2）According to the text，the underlined part " hoax "（ in the 3-4 paragraph） probably means.
A．an attempt made to fool people
B．a special way to plant crops
C．a research on the force of winds
D．an experiment for the protection of crops
（3）Which of the following may prove that the crop circles are not made by man？
A．The farmer couldn't step out of the field.
B．The farmers couldn't make the circles round.
C．The farmers couldn't leave without footprints.
D．The farmers couldn't keep the wheat straight up.
（4）A proper title for this passage is.
A．An Unsolved Mystery
B．Strange Flying Objects
C．The Power of Natural Forces
D．The discovery of Strange Circles组卷：2引用：2难度：0.5
