Grasslands need time to rest when cattle and other animals feed on them. Moving animals from one area of pasture (牧场) to another can provide the time needed for new growth. This is called rotational grazing .(循环放牧)
Rotational grazing is good for the land and the animals, and it can save money. This form of grazing can reduce the need for pesticide (农药) treatments by reducing the growth of weeds. And it can limit the need for chemical fertilizers by letting animal wastes do the job of natural fertilizer. Rotational grazing can even help prevent wildfires by keeping grasslands in good condition.
Letting animals feed continually and intensively (集中地) in the same grazing areas can require costly replanting. Animals eat the most desirable growth first. When that keeps happening, the roots do not have enough time to recover. As a result, less desirable plants may replace them. Intensively used grasslands are also harmed as the soil is continually crushed under the weight of heavy animals.
While rotational grazing can save money over time, it also requires planning. And that starts with a good map to mark fences, water supplies and grazing areas.
Changing methods of grazing also requires time. Farmers may want to put up electric fences to enclose (圈起) grazing areas, called paddocks. The paddocks will need water. Some farmers design a path for animals from different paddocks to drink from a common watering place.
Farmers can start rotational grazing by removing animals from a pasture when the grass is eaten to less that five centimeters. The pasture is then kept empty until the grass grows to more than fifteen centimeters high.
Sheep and goats may require special preparations. They may need stronger fences than other animals. And while they eat the grass, they may need guard animals to protect them from animals that would like to eat them.

A. the soil of grasslands is naturally rich
B. animal wastes serve as natural fertilizer

D. grasslands are usually in good condition
68. The function of putting up electric fences is to _____________.
A. divide the pasture into paddocks

69. Why do sheep and goats need guard animals?
A. They can easily jump over fences.
B. They don't like to stay in the paddock
C. wild animals are likely to attack them
D. Tigers and lions prefer sheep and goats
70. What would be the best title for the passage?

Born in Claremore, Oklahoma, a small town near Tulsa, Page originally dreamed of a career in commercial art. Her first job in the art department at a local radio station soon led to performing on her own 15minute programme.
At the age of 20, Page was discovered by bigband leader Jack Rael, who quit his job to become her manager.

The following year, Page appeared in her own CBS television series, The Patti Page Show.

4．One of the greatest contributions to the first Oxford University in England asked Professor James Murray to serve as an editor for what was to be the most ambitious dictionary in the history of the English language. It would include every English word possible and would give not only the definition but also the history of the word and quotations (引文)showing how it was used.
This was a huge task. So Murray had to find volunteers from Britain, the United States, and the British colonies to search every newspaper, magazine, and book ever written in English. Hundreds of volunteers responded, including William Chester Minor. Dr Minor was an American surgeon who had served in the civil war and is now living in England. He gave his address as “Broadmoor, Crowthorne, Berkshire”， 50 miles from Oxford. r joined the army of volunteers sending words and quotations to Murray. Over the next years, he became one of the staff's most valued contributors.
But he was also a mystery. In spite of many invitations, he would always decline to visit Oxford. So in 1897, Murray finally decided to travel to Crowthorne himself. When he arrived, he found Minor locked in a booklined cell at the Broadmoor Asylum for the criminally insane.
Murray and Minor became friends, sharing their love of words. Minor continued contributing to the dictionary, sending in more than 10，000 submissions in 20 years. Murray continued to visit Minor regularly, sometimes taking walks with him around the asylum grounds. Minor left Broadmoor for an asylum in his native America. Murray was at the port to wave goodbye to his remarkable friend.
Minor died in 1920, seven years before the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary was completed. The 12 volumes defined 414，825 words, and thousands of them were contributions from a very scholarly and devoted asylum patient. The history of the English language.
B．The friendship between Murray and Minor.
C．Minor and the first Oxford English Dictionary.
D．Broadmoor Asylum and its patients.
一、主旨大意 主旨大意题。全篇共四句，只陈述了四个细节(detail)性的事实。读者只能将所有的细节综合起来，进行逻辑推理，才能构成一unstated main idea)。由于文中主要涉及Joshua Bingham接受教育的情况，即作者想告诉我们的是Joshua Bingham接受过良好的教育，所以答案是 C 。 主旨大意题。根据文中“Given that this is the case, why aren't students taught to manage conflicts the way they are taught to solve maths problems, drive cars, or stay physically fit？”和对全文的整体理解，可知D符合文意。 主旨大意题。根据文章的“Grownups are often surprised by how well
they remember something they learned as children but have never practised ever since.”可知，文章讲的是成年人常常惊叹他们非常清晰地记着儿时学C、D断章取义，讲得太具体，B项错误，因为那是过度学习的结果，不是儿时记忆力好。所以A正确。 主旨大意题。文章的关键词有两个：Minor和，主要讲述Minor的特别之处和他对的贡献，因此文章的大意应该把这两个词都包括进去。
