A woman was walking her dog along a beach in New Zealand in late June when she saw something that looked like a white ball in the sand. It turned out to be a young Emperor Penguin that was lost. At his age, he should have been close to the Antarctic, swimming for fish and playing on the ice floes（冰川）. But this penguin started swimming north and just kept going.
The penguin attracted a lot of attention in New Zealand. It has been 40 years since an Emperor Penguin was last seen there. Researchers at the Department of Conservation were called in. They decided to watch the penguin closely, but not to disturb it in any way. Many New Zealanders came to Peka Peka Beach to look at the elegant penguin. They were careful to keep their dogs away from him so he wouldn’t be frightened.
The public nicknamed the animal Happy Feet.Researchers started to notice that Happy Feet didn’t seem well. It turned out that he had been eating the sand from the beach, likely thinking it was snow.
The public raised more than 11,000 pounds for an operation to get the sand out of his stomach. The operation was a success, and Happy Feet was taken to a zoo in Wellington, NZ. A group of experts met to decide how to help Happy Feet return to the wild.
They put him on a boat called the Tangaroa, in a specially built icefilled box and took him out into the Southern Ocean, southeast of New Zealand. There, they released him into the ocean, which is his natural habitat. He took one last look at his human helpers and then dived into the ocean.
“Emperor Penguins spend their first five years at sea,” said Peter Simpson of New Zealand’s Department of Conservation. “What happens now is up to the penguin.”
Happy Feet was fitted with a satellite transmitter（发射机）so they can monitor his progress using the Internet. So far, the trackers show that he swam northeast for a little while before getting his bearings and heading south.
5. Where is the young penguin supposed to appear
A. On the sunny beach. B. Inside the hole in the ice.
C. Near the Antarctic. D. In the depths of the ocean.
6. How was the penguin treated after he was found in New Zealand
A. He was protected well and taken good care of.
B. He was sent to the local zoo and attracted much attention.
C. He was taken to the lab by researchers for study.
D. He was disturbed by many curious New Zealanders.
7. The public collected some money to ______.
A. do some research on the penguin
B. build a home for the penguin
C. get the sand out of the penguin’s belly
D. return the penguin to his habitat
8. What happened to the penguin in the end according to the passage
A. He was put in a specially built icefilled box on a boat.
B. He was brought to the Southern Ocean and released.
C. He reached his home — the Antarctic.
D. He swam northeast from the Southern Ocean.
C
Before I studied psychology, I used to think that people would laugh when funny things occurred. While I was right about that, I discovered there are lots of other psychological factors that make people laugh other than the funny part of a joke.When someone laughs at a joke, there will usually be more than one reason that makes him laugh—and the more reasons there are, the more powerful the joke will be.
I was attending a standup comedy show in Egypt, and when the man started to make fun of pedestrians crossing streets, everyone laughed their hearts out. The main reason those people strongly laughed was that almost all of them felt angry towards pedestrians who crossed streets carelessly. The joke wasn’t only funny, it also made the audience feel that they were right about being angry at those pedestrians. That is, people were laughing both because of the funny joke and because of the happiness experienced as a result of the psychological support they got.
The better a joke makes a person feel, and the more it includes other psychological factors, the more the person will like it. For example, if you envy one of your friends, and someone tells a joke that is funny and, at the same time, makes your friend seem stupid, then you will probably laugh at it louder than if you weren’t jealous of him.
In short, we don’t laugh only when we hear something funny; we also laugh when we experience some kind of happiness that results from the other psychological factors involved in the joke. I strongly discourage making fun of anyone or belittling someone to make someone else laugh. All I want to explain is that if your joke supports a person’s emotions, he will certainly like it a lot.
9. What did the author find out after studying psychology
A. Only good jokes make people laugh.
B. Many factors lead to people laughing.
C. Funny things can make people laugh.
D. Laughter can make people healthy.
10. Why did the audience laugh loud at the pedestrians
A. They played a trick on the pedestrians.
B. The pedestrians behaved in a funny way.
C. They could feel the pedestrians’ happiness.
D. Their emotion was approved of by the show.
11. What does the underlined word “belittling” probably mean
A. Annoy. B. Blame.
C. Look down on. D. Make up to.
D
Rick Anderson says he isn’t scared of sharks and he is appealing to others to learn to love them.
“I try to convince people that looking at a shark eye to eye is totally different to sitting on a surfboard or a boat looking at every shadow that goes underneath thinking it’s a shark coming to get them,” he said. “Eye to eye they look at you, you look at them and you go your own way.”
“I find that once people see their first sharks, their whole attitude changes. They realize that they are not as scary as what they thought they were,” Mr.Anderson said.He compares sharks to dogs, in the way they show their behavior and attitude towards humans. “You’re not going to go up to a dog that is arching（拱起）its back and making a low sound in the throat at you,” he said. “If a shark is arching and its fins（鳍）are down, it’s telling you to move on.” He admits he thought the shark was trying to attack him the first few times.
Mr. Anderson is against the controversial policy introduced in Western Australia to kill a shark if it presents a threat to humans. He said many of the same things that occur in Western Australia are also happening in New South Wales.
Mr. Anderson said that sharks come closer to shore because they are attracted to the smell of whale carcasses（尸体）which have broken down after being buried in the sand on many beaches.
Mr. Anderson often sees grey nurse sharks, fur seals, leopard seals, penguins and fishes of a range of colors in the Pacific Ocean along Bellingen Shire. “Depending on the time of the year, you can get a good mixture of sea creatures moving through there,” he said. Tiger sharks are his favourite kind of sharks. He describes them as pigheaded but also graceful creatures.
12. What does Mr.Anderson probably do
A. A boatman. B. A diver.
C. A surfer. D. A fisherman.
13. What does Mr.Anderson indicate by comparing sharks to dogs
A. Sharks have the same behavior as dogs.
B. Sharks are naturally friendly to human beings.
C. Sharks can be lovely creatures if properly trained.
D. Sharks can send messages through their behavior.
14. What mistake did Mr.Anderson once make
A. He never looked at sharks eye to eye.
B. He once saw sharks as a scary animal.
C. He misunderstood a shark’s arching its back.
D. He didn’t allow sharks to get close to shores.
15. What do we know about the Pacific Ocean along Bellingen Shire
A. It’s Mr.Anderson’s favorite place.
B. It’s a popular place for tourists.
C. It’s open in certain times of the year.
D. It’s where Mr. Anderson trains sharks.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
A freezing downpour washed the street in front of the small-town bar. I sat gazing into the watery darkness, alone as usual. I had been in that old bar for half an hour, quietly drinking, when my thoughtful eyes finally focused on a medium-sized lump（一团）in a puddle（水洼）a hundred feet away. For another ten minutes, I looked out through the window trying to decide if the lump was an animal or just something.
The night before, a German dog named Shep had come into the bar begging for potato chips. He was starving and just the size of the lump in the puddle. Why should a dog lie in a cold puddle in the freezing rain I asked myself. The answer was simple: Either it wasn’t a dog, or it was, he was too weak to get up.
The wound in my right shoulder ached all the way down my fingers. I didn’t want to go out in the storm. Hey, it wasn’t my dog. It was just a stray on a cold rainy night, a lonely drifter（流浪者）. So was I, I thought, as I tossed（扔）down what was left of my drink and headed out the door.
He was lying in the three inches of water. When I touched him, he didn’t move. I thought he was dead. I put my hands around his chest and raised him to his feet. He stood unsteadily, and his head hung like a weight at the end of his neck. His floppy ears were just hairless pieces of flesh dotted with open sores（伤口）.
“Come on, Shep,” I said, leading him to a corner next to the bar, where he lay on the cold cement and closed his eyes. A block away I could see the lights of a late-night convenience store. It was still open. I bought three cans of dog food and fed him. He couldn’t swallow but poorly looked at me. He was dying!
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
The local vet was still at his office, so I loaded the poor creature into a taxi and headed there.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Three days later, when I opened the door of the vet’s, Shep welcomed me with wild enthusiasm.
