Over the past three decades, an 81-year-old Chinese man has been operating a small zoo. The zoo in Enshi, Hubei Province, is called the “world’s loneliest zoo” because few people visit it. Most of the animals there are unhealthy.
Luo Yingjiu began keeping animals at home in the 1980s. After seeing wild animals kept in cages for sale at a market, Luo bought them and took them home to give them medical treatment. He released (释放) those able to live on their own into the wild and continued to raise those that could not live independently. There were so many animals in his house that the local government suggested he open a zoo. With the government’s financial aid, the zoo was opened in 1989, the only one in the city at that time. During its peak time, the zoo had some big animals, including a tiger and a lion. The business later became worse because visitors were not interested in the zoo’s “old, weak, sick and disabled” animals.
Using his pension (退休金) to operate the zoo, Mr. Luo refused to listen to other people’s advice to close it. “It is not just a zoo; it provides the habitat for the animals,” he explained. “If the zoo is closed, where can these animals go They cannot even survive in the wild.”
As he operates the zoo, he keeps on rescuing animals. A black bear with one paw injured was saved 17 years ago. A dog named Dianzi was saved when its former owner planned to abandon (遗弃) it. A monkey that has been at the zoo for nearly 30 years is almost blind because of camera flashes from visitors who took photos. For those animals that died, Luo buried them on the nearby mountain.
Luo said he remembers every animal’s name. “Animals and humans are born equal,”he said. “We should respect their right to survive.”
24．Why is the zoo called the “world’s loneliest zoo”
A．There are few animals in the zoo. B．Few people know the old man.
C．There aren’t many people visiting the zoo. D．The gatekeeper lost family members.
25．How did Luo get the animals originally
A．By buying some animals locked in cages. B．By stealing or hunting some big animals.
C．By finding animals released from other zoos. D．By picking up dying animals in the wild.
26．What was the reason why Luo’s business went worse
A．Visitors took no interest in the unhealthy animals.
B．Local government refused to offer financial support.
C．He used up all of his pension so that the zoo was closed.
D．Children were frightened by the wild tiger and lion.
27．Which of the following best describes Luo Yingjiu
A．Adventurous and humorous. B．Warm-hearted and determined.
C．Creative and outgoing. D．Generous and funny.
C
Thrown from his horse three times and repeatedly wet through while camping in a downpour, Chris Walker wondered whether the Mongol Derhy was really for him.
The property developer and farmer from Gloucestershire was, at 55, the oldest of the competitors in this year’s 1.000 km race across the grassland.
Despite the hardships of his eight-day journey, Walker was delighted to finish third in the annual equestrian (马术的 )endurance race.
Competitors race between checkpoints 22 miles apart, where they change horses. They spend nights at one of 28 stations, set up their own camp or enjoy the hospitality of friendly Mongolian families.
Walker, whose grandfather Neville Crump trained three Grand National winners, was an hour ahead of his rivals as the race entered its eighth day but was awarded a time penalty (判罚) because his horse had a high heart rate during one of the regular checks to ensure that the animals were healthy.
Walker said he had gone to Mongolia to “give it a go” but realized that he stood a chance of winning after teaming up with Patrick Heffron, a competitor from Ireland.
“The horses are quite wild. I got bucked off three times. I fell off in a hole,” he said. “You’re going along and suddenly disappear. You have to hang on to your horse for dear life or it goes off.”
Walker who has raised more than 7000 for the charity Riding for the Disabled Association, own horses and his son is a professional polo player.
Heffron, who met Walker as they went out for the race, finished third equal alongside his companion. He said it was important to form a team mainly because falling off alone means that there is no one to help you retrieve your horse.
“It is also a bloody long way to talk to yourself ,”Heffron said. “Neither of us had prior ambitions win this race but we realized: “We’re in front, ” SP R pushed.
28．What can we learn about the Mongol Derby
A．It’s a 22-mile equestrian endurance race. B．Competitors have to camp at stations.
C．There is an age limit to competitors. D．Horses are switched at checkpoints.
29．What is the main reason for Walker’s falling behind
A．A time penalty. B．The wild horse. C．Poor teamwork. D．His ill health.
30．What does the underlined word “retrieve” mean in the text
A．Tie. B．Feed. C．Mount. D．Bring back
31．Which of the following words can best describe Walker
A．Enthusiastic but moody. B．Proud and stubborn.
C．Courageous and ambitious. D．Cooperative and generous.
D
Honeybees can’t swim, and when their wings get wet, they can’t fly. But one study shows that honeybees do have another, less obvious choice to save them from death in the water: surfing.
The discovery began with a lucky accident. When research engineer Chris Roh passed by Caltech’s Millikan Pond, he saw a honeybee resting in the water, and since it was midday, the honeybee’s shadow (影子) fell directly on the bottom of the pond. However, what really caught his eye was the waves created by the honeybee’s wings, as the waves from one wing crashed with those from the other wing.
Roh brought honeybees to the lab, where he recreated the conditions, he saw at Mfillikan Pond. He placed a bee in a pan of still water and then shone filtered (过滤的) light from above to pretend it was the midday sun. He did this with 33 bees, but only for a few minutes one single bee at a time, and then gave each bee time to recover.
While water prevents a bee from flying by clinging (紧附) to its wings, the same condition obviously provides another way for the bee to escape. The bee pulls water with its wings, creating waves that can push it forward.
But there are some limitations. Obviously, the bees can’t produce enough force to get them out of the water. However, the wave can push them forward enough to the edge of the water, where they can then climb out and fly away. This behavior is more tiring than flying, and Roh guesses the bees can only hold it for about 10 minutes before using up their strength, so the chances to get out may, be limited.
“This behavior has never been recorded in other insects,” Roh added. This study focused on honeybees, but future studies could investigate whether it is also used by other bee groups or possibly even by other winged insects.
32．According to the new study, what helps honeybees avoid death in water
A．The crash between their wings. B．The water clinging to their bodies.
C．The strong will to get out of water. D．The waves produced by their wings.
33．Why was filtered light used in the lab probably
A．To help the honeybees recover quickly. B．To make the honeybees gain more force.
C．To keep the honeybees in warm conditions. D．To create a shadow on the bottom of the pan.
34．How are the limitations of the honeybees’ way presented in paragraph 5
A．By using examples. B．By giving explanations.
C．By making a comparison. D．By listing specific numbers.
35．What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A．No insects can surf other than honeybees. B．More methods will be used to study insects.
C．Researches will be done into other bee species. D．Bees made more and more scientists concerned.

Bob was a short child who preferred indoor to outdoor activities. He was mild-mannered and mostly kept to himself. Sitting in the corner of the class, he was very much a loner.
At the beginning of the semester, Bob had a new classmate, Alex, who had just returned to England. Alex was assigned a seat next to Bob. To his surprise, within weeks, he became good friends with Alex even though they were poles apart in personality. Alex was popular, outspoken and artistic. “Alex is all that I want to be,” Bob thought to himself He began listening to the music Alex listened to and having similar haircut. He even quit his drama club and started playing the online games that Alex played. He seemed to have been out of his loneliness.
It was not long before Bob was introduced to Alex’s “cool” friends. He told himself that he would try all means to be part of the group. He would follow them to the football games and join the art club after school so he could spend more time hanging out with them. Bob followed them around laughing when they told jokes, agreeing when they had opinions—most enthusiastically at the ones he disagreed with. He did not dare to differ in opinions as he would not want them to think badly of him. This continued for several months. At last, Bob felt relieved that he had finally fitted in.
One day, Bob overheard Alex and his cool friends talking. “Bob is such a loser,” one boy commented in a playful tone. “He just follows you around trying to be you. He copies you; he does not have a personality of his own!” another boy exclaimed. Alex laughed, to make matters worse, he added, “That fellow wears me out. I wish he would leave me alone. He thinks we are best friends. A thorough fool!”

Over the past three decades, an 81-year-old Chinese man has been operating a small zoo. The zoo in Enshi, Hubei Province, is called the “world’s loneliest zoo” because few people visit it. Most of the animals there are unhealthy.
Luo Yingjiu began keeping animals at home in the 1980s. After seeing wild animals kept in cages for sale at a market, Luo bought them and took them home to give them medical treatment. He released (释放) those able to live on their own into the wild and continued to raise those that could not live independently. There were so many animals in his house that the local government suggested he open a zoo. With the government’s financial aid, the zoo was opened in 1989, the only one in the city at that time. During its peak time, the zoo had some big animals, including a tiger and a lion. The business later became worse because visitors were not interested in the zoo’s “old, weak, sick and disabled” animals.
Using his pension (退休金) to operate the zoo, Mr. Luo refused to listen to other people’s advice to close it. “It is not just a zoo; it provides the habitat for the animals,” he explained. “If the zoo is closed, where can these animals go They cannot even survive in the wild.”
As he operates the zoo, he keeps on rescuing animals. A black bear with one paw injured was saved 17 years ago. A dog named Dianzi was saved when its former owner planned to abandon (遗弃) it. A monkey that has been at the zoo for nearly 30 years is almost blind because of camera flashes from visitors who took photos. For those animals that died, Luo buried them on the nearby mountain.
Luo said he remembers every animal’s name. “Animals and humans are born equal,”he said. “We should respect their right to survive.”
24．Why is the zoo called the “world’s loneliest zoo”
A．There are few animals in the zoo. B．Few people know the old man.
C．There aren’t many people visiting the zoo. D．The gatekeeper lost family members.
25．How did Luo get the animals originally
A．By buying some animals locked in cages. B．By stealing or hunting some big animals.
C．By finding animals released from other zoos. D．By picking up dying animals in the wild.
26．What was the reason why Luo’s business went worse
A．Visitors took no interest in the unhealthy animals.
B．Local government refused to offer financial support.
C．He used up all of his pension so that the zoo was closed.
D．Children were frightened by the wild tiger and lion.
27．Which of the following best describes Luo Yingjiu
A．Adventurous and humorous. B．Warm-hearted and determined.

Thrown from his horse three times and repeatedly wet through while camping in a downpour, Chris Walker wondered whether the Mongol Derhy was really for him.
The property developer and farmer from Gloucestershire was, at 55, the oldest of the competitors in this year’s 1.000 km race across the grassland.
Despite the hardships of his eight-day journey, Walker was delighted to finish third in the annual equestrian (马术的 )endurance race.
Competitors race between checkpoints 22 miles apart, where they change horses. They spend nights at one of 28 stations, set up their own camp or enjoy the hospitality of friendly Mongolian families.
Walker, whose grandfather Neville Crump trained three Grand National winners, was an hour ahead of his rivals as the race entered its eighth day but was awarded a time penalty (判罚) because his horse had a high heart rate during one of the regular checks to ensure that the animals were healthy.
Walker said he had gone to Mongolia to “give it a go” but realized that he stood a chance of winning after teaming up with Patrick Heffron, a competitor from Ireland.
“The horses are quite wild. I got bucked off three times. I fell off in a hole,” he said. “You’re going along and suddenly disappear. You have to hang on to your horse for dear life or it goes off.”
Walker who has raised more than 7000 for the charity Riding for the Disabled Association, own horses and his son is a professional polo player.
Heffron, who met Walker as they went out for the race, finished third equal alongside his companion. He said it was important to form a team mainly because falling off alone means that there is no one to help you retrieve your horse.
“It is also a bloody long way to talk to yourself ,”Heffron said. “Neither of us had prior ambitions win this race but we realized: “We’re in front, ” SP R pushed.
28．What can we learn about the Mongol Derby
A．It’s a 22-mile equestrian endurance race. B．Competitors have to camp at stations.
C．There is an age limit to competitors. D．Horses are switched at checkpoints.
29．What is the main reason for Walker’s falling behind
A．A time penalty. B．The wild horse. C．Poor teamwork. D．His ill health.
30．What does the underlined word “retrieve” mean in the text
A．Tie. B．Feed. C．Mount. D．Bring back
31．Which of the following words can best describe Walker
A．Enthusiastic but moody. B．Proud and stubborn.
C．Courageous and ambitious. D．Cooperative and generous.
D
Honeybees can’t swim, and when their wings get wet, they can’t fly. But one study shows that honeybees do have another, less obvious choice to save them from death in the water: surfing.
The discovery began with a lucky accident. When research engineer Chris Roh passed by Caltech’s Millikan Pond, he saw a honeybee resting in the water, and since it was midday, the honeybee’s shadow (影子) fell directly on the bottom of the pond. However, what really caught his eye was the waves created by the honeybee’s wings, as the waves from one wing crashed with those from the other wing.
Roh brought honeybees to the lab, where he recreated the conditions, he saw at Mfillikan Pond. He placed a bee in a pan of still water and then shone filtered (过滤的) light from above to pretend it was the midday sun. He did this with 33 bees, but only for a few minutes one single bee at a time, and then gave each bee time to recover.
While water prevents a bee from flying by clinging (紧附) to its wings, the same condition obviously provides another way for the bee to escape. The bee pulls water with its wings, creating waves that can push it forward.
But there are some limitations. Obviously, the bees can’t produce enough force to get them out of the water. However, the wave can push them forward enough to the edge of the water, where they can then climb out and fly away. This behavior is more tiring than flying, and Roh guesses the bees can only hold it for about 10 minutes before using up their strength, so the chances to get out may, be limited.
“This behavior has never been recorded in other insects,” Roh added. This study focused on honeybees, but future studies could investigate whether it is also used by other bee groups or possibly even by other winged insects.
32．According to the new study, what helps honeybees avoid death in water
A．The crash between their wings. B．The water clinging to their bodies.
C．The strong will to get out of water. D．The waves produced by their wings.
33．Why was filtered light used in the lab probably
A．To help the honeybees recover quickly. B．To make the honeybees gain more force.
C．To keep the honeybees in warm conditions. D．To create a shadow on the bottom of the pan.
34．How are the limitations of the honeybees’ way presented in paragraph 5
A．By using examples. B．By giving explanations.
C．By making a comparison. D．By listing specific numbers.
35．What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A．No insects can surf other than honeybees. B．More methods will be used to study insects.
C．Researches will be done into other bee species. D．Bees made more and more scientists concerned.

Bob was a short child who preferred indoor to outdoor activities. He was mild-mannered and mostly kept to himself. Sitting in the corner of the class, he was very much a loner.
At the beginning of the semester, Bob had a new classmate, Alex, who had just returned to England. Alex was assigned a seat next to Bob. To his surprise, within weeks, he became good friends with Alex even though they were poles apart in personality. Alex was popular, outspoken and artistic. “Alex is all that I want to be,” Bob thought to himself He began listening to the music Alex listened to and having similar haircut. He even quit his drama club and started playing the online games that Alex played. He seemed to have been out of his loneliness.
It was not long before Bob was introduced to Alex’s “cool” friends. He told himself that he would try all means to be part of the group. He would follow them to the football games and join the art club after school so he could spend more time hanging out with them. Bob followed them around laughing when they told jokes, agreeing when they had opinions—most enthusiastically at the ones he disagreed with. He did not dare to differ in opinions as he would not want them to think badly of him. This continued for several months. At last, Bob felt relieved that he had finally fitted in.
One day, Bob overheard Alex and his cool friends talking. “Bob is such a loser,” one boy commented in a playful tone. “He just follows you around trying to be you. He copies you; he does not have a personality of his own!” another boy exclaimed. Alex laughed, to make matters worse, he added, “That fellow wears me out. I wish he would leave me alone. He thinks we are best friends. A thorough fool!”

My way to stay young is simple: Give full attention to the part of you that’s young and growing---your brain. Keep your mind active and your body will stay young, too. These are exciting times. Take an interest in the world around you, and make a point of learning one new thing every day.
Never think about your age, it’s not too late to make your life more interesting. I know a house wife who became a famous industrial designer; I know a retired electrical engineer who has become a highly paid artist.
Get over the idea that you are too old to go back to college. I know I man who entered medical school at 70. He got his degree with honors and became a top doctor. Another man went to law school at 71 and is now an active lawyer.
Even if you are getting on in years, staying young is easy for those who live for the future. You can do it if you care enough to try. Keep your mind alive and active; this is the key to staying young, and it will certainly work.

31．推理判断题。由文中第六段“Walker said he had gone to Mongolia to “give it a go” but realized that he stood a chance of winning after teaming up with Patrick Heffron, a competitor from Ireland.”（Walker说他去蒙古是为了“试一试”，但他意识到，在与来自爱尔兰的竞争对手帕特里克·赫夫龙（Patrick Heffron）合作后，他有机会获胜）和第八段“Walker who has raised more than 7000 for the charity Riding for the Disabled Association, own horses and his son is a professional polo player.”（Walker为慈善机构“残疾人骑行协会”筹集了7000多英镑，他拥有马匹，他的儿子是一名职业马球运动员。）可知，Walker是一个有合作精神且慷慨的人，故选D项。
32．D 33．D 34．B 35．C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是一项研究表明，当蜜蜂掉进水里时，它们可以用翅膀产生小波浪，然后像冲浪者一样滑向陆地。
32．细节理解题。根据第一段“But one study shows that honeybees do have another, less obvious choice to save them from death in the water: surfing.”（但一项研究表明，蜜蜂确实有另一种不那么明显的选择来拯救它们在水中的死亡:冲浪。）根据第二段的“However, what really caught his eye was the waves created by the honeybee’s wings, as the waves from one wing crashed with those from the other wing.(然而，真正吸引他眼球的是蜜蜂翅膀产生的波浪，一只翅膀的波浪与另一只翅膀的波浪碰撞。)”可知，帮助蜜蜂在水中避免死亡的是它们翅膀产生的波浪。故选D。
33．推理判断题。根据第二段的“since it was midday, the honeybee’s shadow (影子) fell directly on the bottom of the pond(由于是中午，蜜蜂的影子直接落在池塘底部)”和第三段的“He placed a bee in a pan of still water and then shone filtered (过滤的) light from above to pretend it was the midday sun.(他把一只蜜蜂放在一盆静水中，然后从上面用过滤光照射，假装那是正午的太阳。)”可知，实验室会使用过滤光的目的是在盆底部制造阴影。故选D。
34．推理判断题。根据第五段的“Obviously, the bees can’t produce enough force to get them out of the water. However, the wave can push them forward enough to the edge of the water, where they can then climb out and fly away. This behavior is more tiring than flying, and Roh guesses the bees can only hold it for about 10 minutes before using up their strength, so the chances to get out may, be limited.(显然，蜜蜂无法产生足够的力量使它们离开水。然而，波浪可以把它们向前推到水边，然后它们就可以爬出来飞走了。这种行为比飞行更累，Roh猜测蜜蜂只能坚持10分钟左右，然后就会耗尽力量，所以出来的机会可能是有限的。)”可知，在第5段中，蜜蜂飞行的局限性是通过解释来描述的，故选B。
35．推理判断题。根据最后一段的“This study focused on honeybees, but future studies could investigate whether it is also used by other bee groups or possibly even by other winged insects.(这项研究的重点是蜜蜂，但未来的研究可能会调查其他蜜蜂群体甚至其他有翼昆虫是否也使用这种方法。)”可知，从最后一段可以推断出将对其他种类的蜜蜂进行研究，故选C。

67．参考范文：
Paragraph 1:
Bob stood still to the ground and could not believe his ears. Trembling and sobbing, he collapsed on the ground, feeling alone and betrayed. He had no choice but to cry all the way back home. Seeing his mother, he couldn’t conceal his sorrow, pouring the incident out to her, who would always be there for him whenever he felt down. Stroking her trembling boy, the mother said gently, “Just be yourself, Son! People will like you for who you are.” Bob had heard the remarks a million times before, yet he never truly got the point. Suddenly, it all clicked.
Paragraph 2:
Bob decided to change himself after hearing his mother’s words. He bought a new schoolbag and chose a haircut he fancied. He dropped his art class and joined the drama club. He made new friends who liked him for who he was. He rediscovered himself. If he had not been given the chance, he might have been too concerned with “fitting in” desperately to experience some of the “best” times of his life. It dawned on him that despite the pain he felt that day, it was a gift they had given him, which taught him to be himself.
