Tobey had always liked zoos. It was great to see animals around his house such as cows, horses and all different kinds of birds. For Tobey, going to the zoo was a great and wonderful way to spend his weekend 23 about animals.
Today, he was trying to go to somewhere a little 24 .
He’d learned that near his house there was an animal shelter (收容所). It wasn’t a common place to adopt (收养) dogs and cats, but a place with
lions, tigers and bears.
As he arrived, he was 25 , because he heard lions even from the parking lot. The place was small, but clean. And the volunteers (志愿者) there were very helpful. Tobey and his family 26 the place at their own pace (节奏), looking at the cages and places the animals lived in.
Tobey 27 understood the differences between this place and a zoo. Zoos had beautiful habitats set up for each animal, but you could not get near the animals at all. At this shelter, he was almost 28 enough to reach out and touch the animals, even if there were two fences between him and the animals. There weren’t as many people, either, so it seemed like a more personal 29 . The paths were covered with trees and it made the animals feel more at home.
It was interesting to look into the eyes of a lion when you could almost reach out and touch it. It was 30 to watch the bears walking slowly in front of you. Then there were lions lying lazily in the midday heat and monkeys cleaning themselves. It was a very special experience.
The best part about the place was the stories. Each animal had a story posted on the side of their cage. People 31 them from abuse (虐待) or took them to the shelter when they were no longer wanted. These were hard luck stories with a happy ending.
When it was finally time to go, they all 32 the volunteers and made a donation. Shelters always needed money, food for animals, and help. It made them feel good to do something they could. It was a great place, and Tobey couldn’t wait to return.
23.A.thinking B.learning C.talking D.hearing
24.A.common B.different C.beautiful D.interesting
25.A.tired B.bored C.relaxed D.surprised
26.A.reached B.showed C.toured D.cleaned
27.A.immediately B.luckily C.especially D.hopefully
28.A.kind B.strong C.tall D.close
29.A.research B.choice C.experience D.situation
30.A.time B.fun C.trouble D.risk

Manners
David stood up and smiled at the older lady who was getting on the bus, letting her know that he was giving her his seat. She thanked him and sat down with her grocery bags on the floor in front of her.
“Thank you, young man,” she said. “Where did
you learn such nice manners (礼貌) ”
“My parents,” said David.
“Well, they taught you well,” said the lady. “What’s your name ”
“David, ma’am.”
“You even say ma’am!” she exclaimed (惊呼). “I’m Mrs. Watson. Pleased to meet you, David.” “Me, too, ma’am,” answered David.
At the next stop, the person next to Mrs. Watson got off the bus. “Here, son,” she said to David. “Have a seat.”
Once David was seated, Mrs. Watson looked at him and asked, “What else did your parents teach you about manners ”
“They taught me about saying ‘yes, ma’am’ and ‘no, sir’—and ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ and ‘you’re welcome’, of course,” answered David. “And they taught me
to address (称呼) grown-ups by their last names, like ‘Mr. or Mrs. Smith’.”
“Good,” said Mrs. Watson. Nodding her head in approval (赞同). “Did they teach you about opening doors for other people ”
“Yes, ma’am, they did,” said David. “The other kids look at me funny sometimes when I open doors for them, but I don’t mind. Grown-ups always like it.”
“Well, you keep opening doors for the other kids, David,” said Mrs. Watson. “You’re setting a good example for them.”
The next bus stop was in front of the city library. “This is where I get off,” said David, standing up. “It was nice to meet you.” A young woman came toward the back door, and David walked aside to let her pass.
“This is my stop, too,” said Mrs. Watson. “I live near the library.”

C
Greenland is the largest island in the world but has a small population of 56,000. Many of these ‘Greenlanders’ live close to the coastline because a large part of the country is covered with ice and glaciers (冰川). Since the 1960s, the country has had economic (经济) difficulties
and social problems. Its traditional industry (产业)—and its biggest—is fishing, but the country still needs to buy much more from other countries. Now, however, life is about to change greatly for many Greenlanders—and all because of the weather.
Most scientists agree that the world is getting warmer and you can already see the difference in Greenland. For example, small icebergs—about the size of city buses—are going to the coast. They have broken off from much larger areas of ice further out in the sea because of the change in temperature. Furthermore, the huge sheet of ice covering Greenland is getting smaller by about 75 cubic kilometres each year. If all of Greenland’s ice melted (融化), sea levels across the world would rise by 7.5 metres.
One industry taking advantages of the melting ice is the oil industry. Nowadays, the sea around the west coast of Greenland has no ice for six months of the year. Oil companies plan to drill for oil there in the next few years. Greenlanders have mixed (混合的) feelings about it. The country’s prime minister, Kuupik Kleist, describes the dilemma: “Greenlanders are the ones most exposed (受影响) to climate change, but we need a strong economy and we have to make good use of the chance that oil could bring us …”
Farming will also change. The growing season is longer with springs arriving earlier and summers ending later. On the one hand, if the country produced more of its own food, it wouldn’t need to buy so much from other countries. On the other hand, some farmers are worried that the drier summers might bring new problems.
For example, last year, it was so dry that farmers produced half the normal amount of food. Farming families usually celebrate the beginning of summer by singing a traditional song. The song is about the importance of summer in a place where, in the past, the winters were long and the summers were short. As nature and the weather changes in Greenland, they might not sing this song in a hundred years’ time. Summer, summer, how wonderful How incredibly good.
The cold is gone,
The cold is gone…
40.What can we learn about Greenland
A.Life will become quite different.
B.The population will grow smaller.
C.People will be poorer and poorer.
D.The ice and glaciers will get larger.
41.The word dilemma in Paragraph 3 probably means “______”.
A.great chances B.fast development
C.difficult situation D.economic problems
42.Why did the farmers sing the traditional song in the past
A.To show thanks to the old times.
B.To say goodbye to the dry season.
C.To invite their friends to get together.
D.To give a warm welcome to summer.
43.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A.Rising sea levels B.The advantages of melting ice
C.Changing Greenland D.Different weather in Greenland
六、阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题。(共 10 分,每小题 2 分)
Diana was shopping in a busy store after work one evening. Just five minutes before closing time, she heard a shop worker saying, “Someone’s having a seizure
(疾病突发)”.
Walking quickly towards the shop worker, Diana saw a shopper on the ground. She was lying on the floor, jerking uncontrollably (控制不住地抽搐). A small
group of people crowded to help the woman and a shop
worker called an ambulance.
Diana knew that she could use what she had learned from her first aid training to help as well.
“The seizure was very different from the way people usually move,” Diana said.
“The woman’s movements were so powerful that her glasses flew off her face.”
Knowing it was important to keep the woman safe, one of the workers brought over a worker jacket and put it under the woman’s head so she wouldn’t hurt herself.
“The seizure probably lasted only a few minutes, but it seemed much longer while it was going on,” Diana said, “When the jerking stopped, a man helped turn the woman on to her side. I then tilted (倾斜) her head back to help her keep breathing (呼吸). After the seizure, the woman seemed not to be able to understand what we were saying and couldn’t speak. Luckily, I learned that this could happen after a seizure and it might take some time for people to get back to feeling like their normal selves. It was such a relief (宽慰) when she finally answered that she was OK.”
By this time, the ambulance was on its way, so the other shoppers who had helped left.
“As I was leaving, one of the store’s workers said, ‘Thank you for your kindness.’ I was very touched by her words, and I told her that I’d learned first aid in case something like this ever happened, and now it had,” Diana said, “Although the accident left me feeling very shaken, I was glad I knew what to do to help.” 44.Where did the accident happen
45.What was wrong with the woman on the ground
46.Why did the worker put a jacket under the woman’s head
47.How did Diana help the woman
48.What can we learn from Diana’s experience

九、选做题(共 10 分,第 54、56 小题各 3 分,第 55 小题 4 分)
阅读下面短文,根据题目要求用英文回答问题。
Wild animals in the neighborhood
Sometimes people might see wild animals in unusual places. A coyote might appear on a city street, and bears may show up on porches.
Raccoons often empty rubbish bins in
human neighborhoods (人类居民区). They come to the human’s world to find food.
Usually these animals live in the trees and forests of the world, but lately, changes in
these areas have caused animals to find new ways to feed and house themselves.
The problems for animals start when the people use animal land to build human homes. As the population of the world grows, more and more houses and buildings spring up. Developing land makes animals living in the area move out. When an animal’s home is destroyed (遭到破坏), it has to find a new place to live.
Destroying the homes of animals causes
several problems. One problem is the extinction (灭绝) of some species. For example, eagles need a place to nest and lay eggs. If eagles do not have places to live, they will stop laying eggs. So,
people would miss the beauty of the eagle.
The destruction of animal homes causes other problems. One is the movement of animals into human areas. Coyotes that cannot find food in the desert will search anywhere for something to eat. Coyotes are hunters and must find food wherever it might be. When bears cannot find enough food to eat in the forest, they may look for
food from human homes. Sometimes running into a bear can be dangerous.
Many people know saving animal homes is important. Some governments understand the need to stop destroying animal homes. One state’s laws (法律) make builders replace trees they cut down by planting about 100 million new trees every year. Trees also clean the air and help keep pollution from getting into the waterways.
Children can also make a big difference in keeping animal homes safe. One group of students in a city borrowed a piece of land and asked the city to pass laws to protect it. The government agreed, so now it is not allowed to build on the land. The students use the land to plant trees and grow gardens.
Humans and animals share this earth. Sometimes we run into their homes, and sometimes they run into ours. We have to learn as much as we can about the animals we share the world with. And we also should learn how to keep the delicate balance (微妙的平衡) between the huge needs of human population and the laws of nature.
54.According to the passage, why do wild animals come to human neighborhoods
55.What do you think of wild animals in human neighborhoods Why do you think so (In about 40 words)
56.What should we do to get on well with wild animals

Try to relax and tell the story in a natural way, like you're telling it to a good friend. Fourth, try to end on the biggest laugh. Most listeners will only remember the last part or laugh line of a story. If the ending is not interesting, it will likely make the funnier parts in the set up less funny. Fifth, practise telling your story. Telling a funny story is an art form, and practice makes perfect.
