Tapescript:
W: Hi, Andy. What are you talking about for your speech next Friday
M: I want to talk about elephants, Ella! Do you know anything about this animal
W: Yeah. Elephants are the largest land animals on Earth, and there are two types of elephants—the African and the Asian. They live on different continents and have different features.
M: You’re right! And scientists have seen them show joy, sadness, anger, and love. They have strong feelings, just like us human beings. I enjoy studying them. In fact, I’ m planning to write a book about them.
Answer 1: Oh, all over the world. The country with the most elephants is the African country, Botswana. Plus, the majority of the world’s elephants live in Africa. so I’ve spent a great deal of time there. But also, there’s a significant elephant population in India, Thailand, Sri Lanka, and China’s Yunnan Province.
Answer 2: I’ve been studying these animals for 30 years but there’s still much more to learn. Specifically, when researching elephants’ character traits, it’s clear that elephants are more intelligent and emotionally complex than we’ve ever imagined. Therefore, I could imagine researching for another ten years before publishing my first book!
Answer 3: They’re peaceful animals that don’t eat meat. And due to their incredible weight at an average of 6000 kilograms, they must spend most of their lives eating. Elephants eat around 150 kilograms of food per day — that’s a lot of plants! Also, you can tell Asian and African elephants apart by the shape of their ears. People say African elephants’ ears are the exact shape of the African continent.

Driving Lessons
Katy wanted to learn to drive but she was very nervous about driving a car. Her dad offered her some motivation. If she could get her driving license before she turned 21, he would buy her a car. Katy decided to take up his challenge and hired a driving instructor named Tom. The first few lessons were spent in an empty car park until Katy was used to driving the car. On her fourth lesson, Tom said they were going to go on the road with real traffic, but not to worry, he would be able to take control of the car at any time. As Katy was driving along, the traffic lights turned red, so she stopped. Another driver ran the red light in a hurry. Tom told Katy never to do what that driver had done. When the lights turned green, Katy continued, and saw that the very driver had been pulled over by the traffic police. Tom repeated that she should never run a red light. Katy was too embarrassed to tell Tom that she knew who the driver was — it was her dad!

Another continuing theme through his art is his daughter Nina, who we’ve seen turns from a little girl into a young woman.
Titi Freak
Hamilton Yokota, aka Titi Freak, is a Sao Paulo native with Japanese ancestry whose art combines his cultural back grounds. After making his way over to Japan, he kept himself busy by painting the streets of Osaka for three whole months. His brightly colored koi fish (锦鲤) really sets the bar for other street artists.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been coming up with ambitious little business ideas. The Eco Denim Movement is the fourth business I’ve founded. Last year, I built this business on three strong passions of mine: business, op-shopping and saving our world. Recently, I did a project on the cotton industry and found out some true facts in the production phases of cotton. I couldn't believe that a single pair of jeans took around 10,000 litres of water to produce.
My project promotes slow fashion and encourages people to purchase my used and repurposed denim (斜纹粗棉布). The denim industry is one of the biggest water consumers in our world — there are 2.7 billion people in our world currently facing water scarcity (缺乏). Every year, the denim industry uses over 12 trillion litres of water. This is enough to supply each of those 2.7 billion people with 4 years' worth of water. Reselling denim, which has already made it through the water-draining production stages, means that with every purchase of secondhand jeans over brand new ones we are saving 10,000 litres of valuable water.
I've sourced denim from my family, friends and op-shops all over Adelaide — the capital city of the state of South Australia. But the most difficult part about starting my business as a girl was that there were a lot of expenses involved in starting up: buying all the pieces of denim, getting all the equipment required for my business, and purchasing my website domain (域名). However, that didn’t stop me. No one is ever too young to start a business. So many people feel like they are not skilled enough or don’t have the brains to start a business, but that’s not true! All you need to start a successful business is ambition and a whole lot of passion.
20. How did the fact mentioned in paragraph 1 make the author feel
A. Ashamed. B. Confused.
C. Shocked. D. Relieved.
21. What do the figures in paragraph 2 suggest
A. The popularity of slow fashion.
B. Different methods of saving water.
C. Huge profits from selling used jeans.
D. The significance of reselling denim.
22. What was a major headache for the author while starting her business
A. The tight budget. B. The source of denim.
C. Her lack of practical experience. D. Bitter opposition from her family.
23. What can we say about the author
A. She is a girl of determination.
B. She is too young to do business.
C. She shows no interest in shopping.
D. She is a kind-hearted and generous girl.
【答案】20. C 21. D 22. A 23. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者创办了Eco Denim Movement公司，转售二手斜纹粗棉布，这对节省水资源具有很大意义，虽然作者创业时遇到困难，但是这并没有阻止作者，作者依然下定决心要创业成功。
【20题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“I couldn't believe that a single pair of jeans took around 10,000 litres of water to produce. (我简直不敢相信一条牛仔裤，需要一万升水才能生产出来)”可推知，作者对牛仔裤需要一万升水才能生产出来这样一个事实感到很震惊，C选项“Shocked”(震惊的)符合，A. Ashamed感到羞愧的；B. Confused困惑的；D. Relieved放心的，均不符。故选C。
【21题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Every year, the denim industry uses over 12 trillion litres of water. This is enough to supply each of those 2.7 billion people with 4 years' worth of water. Reselling denim, which has already made it through the water-draining production stages, means that with every purchase of secondhand jeans over brand new ones we are saving 10,000 litres of valuable water. (每年，牛仔行业都要消耗超过12万亿升的水。这足够为这27亿人提供4年的用水。转售斜纹粗棉布已经跳过了消耗水的生产阶段，这意味着每购买一条二手牛仔裤而不是全新牛仔裤，我们就节省了1万升宝贵的水)”可知，第二段中的这些数字表明了转售斜纹粗棉布具有重要意义，因为可以节约很多宝贵的水。故选D。
【22题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“But the most difficult part about starting my business as a girl was that there were a lot of expenses involved in starting up: buying all the pieces of denim, getting all the equipment required for my business, and purchasing my website domain (域名). (但是当我还是个小女孩的时候，创业最困难的部分就是要花很多钱：购买所有的牛仔布，购买所有的生意所需的设备，以及购买我的网站域名)”可推知，创业时作者最头疼的事就是资金紧缺。故选A。

All you need to start a successful business is ambition and a whole lot of passion. (但是当我还是个小女孩的时候，创业最困难的部分就是要花很多钱：购买所有的牛仔布，购买所有的生意所需的设备，以及购买我的网站域名。然而，这并没有阻止我。没有人会太年轻而不能创业。很多人觉得自己没有足够的技能，或者没有创业的头脑，但事实并非如此！想要成功创业，只需要雄心壮志和满腔热情)”可知，作者虽然创业时遇到困难，但是作者没有放弃，下定决心要创业。由此推知，作者是一个有决心的女孩。故选A。

In all of the Jurassic Park movies, dinosaurs (恐龙) are the stars of the show. The way the dinosaurs look and move is amazing — they seem so real. But dinosaurs haven’t lived on our planet for the last 65 million years. So how do filmmakers bring them to life They ask paleontologists (古生物学家) for help.
Paleontologist Tyler Lyson has been interested in dinosaurs since he was a child. He grew up in the countryside in the western United States and found his first dinosaur fossil (化石) when he was only six years old. Lyson says the best way to learn about dinosaurs is to look at fossils. Fossils and footprints help scientists understand how dinosaurs looked, moved, and lived.
Filmmakers use fossils and other research from paleontologists to build dinosaurs for their movies. But they also have to imagine. The dinosaur builders have to decide what color the dinosaurs are, what patterns (图案) the dinosaurs have, how long their tails are...
Another very important thing that helps bring dinosaurs to life is the computer. After dinosaur builders make dinosaur models, they put pictures of them into a computer, and then use CGI — computer-generated imagery (计算机生成影像) to make them move. Filmmakers have used CGI for all the dinosaurs in the Jurassic Park movies.
Paleontologists still have a lot of questions about dinosaurs. What did they sound like How did they look for food What did they eat The answers to these questions will help filmmakers create even more realistic dinosaurs than ever before.
24. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 1 refer to
A. The Jurassic Park movies. B. Paleontologists.
C. The last 65 million years. D. Dinosaurs.
25. What does Lyson think is the best way to learn about dinosaurs
A. Reading books. B. Looking at fossils.
C. Watching movies. D. Going to the countryside.
26. What’s Paragraph 4 mainly about
A. Why CGI is popular. B. Why filmmakers build dinosaurs.
C. How dinosaur models are brought to life. D. What questions paleontologists still have.
27. What can we know from the passage
A Lyson’s interesting dinosaurs started young.
B. Some paleontologists also make dinosaur movies.
C. Dinosaurs appeared on our planet 65 million years ago.
D. Paleontologists already know what dinosaurs sounded like.
【答案】24. D 25. B 26. C 27. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了电影制作人是如何把恐龙变成现实的。
【24题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“But dinosaurs haven’t lived on our planet for the last 65 million years.”以及画线词后文“to life They ask paleontologists (古生物学家) for help”可知，但是恐龙已经在地球上消失了6500万年了，那么，电影制作人是如何将这些恐龙变为现实的呢？他们向古生物学家寻求帮助。故them指的是“恐龙”。故选D。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Lyson says the best way to learn about dinosaurs is to look at fossils.(Lyson说了解恐龙最好的方法就是看化石)”可知，Lyson认为了解恐龙最好的方法是看化石。故选B。
【26题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“Another very important thing that helps bring dinosaurs to life is the computer. After dinosaur builders make dinosaur models, they put pictures of them into a computer, and then use CGI — computer-generated imagery (计算机生成影像) to make them move. Filmmakers have used CGI for all the dinosaurs in the Jurassic Park movies.(另一个很重要的东西，帮助恐龙的生活是电脑。在恐龙建造者制作完恐龙模型后，他们把它们的照片输入电脑，然后使用CGI——计算机生成的图像让它们动起来。在《侏罗纪公园》系列电影中，电影制作者使用了CGI技术来制作所有的恐龙)”可知，第四段的主要内容是为什么CGI很受欢迎。故选C。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“But dinosaurs haven’t lived on our planet for the last 65 million years.(但是恐龙已经在地球上消失了6500万年了)”可知，恐龙在六千五百万年前出现在我们的星球上。故选A。

After wildfire store through Australia this year (and many other years), Dr Alexandra Car they from Macquarie University came up with the idea of cardboard homes for wildlife, giving them a fighting chance of survival after wildfires.
The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) ran an innovation challenge in order to restore species and landscapes, help them adapt to a changing climate and regenerate Australia after burning flames (火焰) spread across much of the habitat. Funding from WWF will enable field trials of this unique idea of cardboard habitats for wildlife.
“Bushfires destroy vegetation where small animals hide,” Car they told WWF. “Raptors (猛禽) arrive within minutes after a fire, while foxes can travel many kilometres towards fires because they know the hunting will be excellent. They come in and kill our native animals who have little place to hide on a burnt landscape.”
The cardboard shelters are six-sided pyramids (金字塔形的物体), 60cm wide on each side and 60cmt all. They can be flat-packed, allowing for easy transportation from the factory to the wilderness. They have been designed as a safe house for wildlife such as possums, bush rats and reptiles, as well as smaller creatures such as insects. These shelters are biodegradable (可生物降解的), with holes that allow light in so that vegetation can regenerate and eventually take over the site.
While environmentalists have always placed makeshift shelters in the form of logs and chicken wire (铁丝网) structures, the solutions involve dragging heavy things around, damaging fire grounds and preventing bush regeneration.
This initiative could also be used in South Africa, where many bird species are badly affected by fires.
28. What is a purpose of WWF’s innovation challenge in Australia
A. To protect natural habitats from being taken up.
B. To prevent wildfires from happening.
C. To increase wildlife population.
D. To raise the public’s awareness about climate change.
29. How might wildfires affect small animals according to Carthey
A. They expose them to hunting animals. B. They take their lives with burning flames.
C. They force them to travel far to find food. D. They make their habitats too hot to live in.
30. Why do the cardboard homes have holes
A To draw animals’ attention. B. To assist with plant growth.
C. To enable small insects to climb in. D. To let air in for animals to breathe.
31. What is a problem with traditional makeshift shelters
A. They have a short life. B. They are non-biodegradable.
C. They look too obvious in the wild. D. They are inconvenient to carry around.
【答案】28. C 29. A 30. B 31. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了世界自然基金会发起了一项创新挑战，旨在恢复物种和景观，帮助它们适应不断变化的气候，并在大火蔓延到大部分栖息地后重建澳大利亚。世界自然基金会将提供资金，对这种独特的野生动物纸板栖息地进行实地试验。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“The World Wide Fund for Nature(WWF) ran an innovation challenge in order to restore species and landscapes, help them adapt to a changing climate and regenerate Australia after burning flames (火焰) spread across much of the habitat.(世界自然基金会发起了一项创新挑战，旨在恢复物种和景观，帮助它们适应不断变化的气候，并在大火蔓延到大部分栖息地后重建澳大利亚)”可知，世界自然基金会在澳洲举办创新挑战的目的是增加野生动物的数量。故选C。

细节理解题。根据第三段““Bushfires destroy vegetation where small animals hide,” Car they told WWF. “Raptors (猛禽) arrive within minutes after a fire, while foxes can travel many kilometres towards fires because they know the hunting will be excellent. They come in and kill our native animals who have little place to hide on a burnt landscape.”(“森林大火摧毁了小动物藏身的植被，”他们告诉世界自然基金会。“迅猛龙在火灾发生后几分钟内就会到达，而狐狸可以向火场行进数公里，因为它们知道狩猎将是绝佳的选择。他们进来杀死我们本土的动物，这些动物在被烧毁的土地上几乎没有藏身之处。”)”可知，野火摧毁植被，让小动物暴露给狩猎动物。故选A。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“These shelters are biodegradable (可生物降解的), with holes that allow light in so that vegetation can regenerate and eventually take over the site.(这些掩体是可生物降解的，有洞可以让光线进入，这样植被就可以再生，最终接管整个场地)”可知，硬纸板屋有洞是为了帮助植物生长。故选B。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“While environmentalists have always placed makeshift shelters in the form of logs and chicken wire (铁丝网) structures, the solutions involve dragging heavy things around, damaging fire grounds and preventing bush regeneration.(虽然环保人士总是用圆木和铁丝网搭建临时庇护所，但解决方案包括拖重物、破坏火场和阻止灌木再生)”可知，传统的临时住所的问题是不方便随身携带。故选D。

63. 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。
The whole class burst out laughing as Bruce rushed into the classroom. He was a strange sight. His half-buttoned white shirt revealed a red pajama top(睡衣上衣) underneath and instead of white school shoes, he had on a pair of bright green shoes that were two sizes too big.
Bruce said quietly, “Sorry teacher”and walked to his seat. Mr. Tan looked at the rest of the students. The laughter quickly turned to silence. Bruce’s classmates always looked forward to Mondays. Nine times out often, they would be entertained by Bruce’s late arrival and his odd appearance which usually included inappropriate clothing.
Bruce lived just a street away from the school. He walked to school daily. Students passing by in buses would shout his name together just to see him jump and stop in his tracks. When he spotted the merry bunch in the bus, he would wave good-naturedly. Although Bruce was likable, he was too lost in his own thoughts to make friends. His classmates found him amusing but they ignored him most of the time. Only Tom, who sat next to Bruce, tried to be his friend.
The following Monday, Bruce did not turn up at school. His classmates were a little disappointed but quickly forgot about him. After school, Tom decided to walkover to Bruce’s house to check on him. As he approached the gate, he could hear violin music. Bruce must be listening to music, he thought. The gate was not locked. Tom let himself in. He called Bruce’s name a few times but there was no response. The music played on. Tom looked in through a window. His eyes widened in surprise. In the middle of the living room, Bruce was playing the violin. His eyes were closed in concentration as he drew the bow (琴弓) over the strings expertly. He played beautifully, so much so that it sounded like a recording. Tom left quietly.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
When Teachers’ Day came around, Tom had a plan.

When Bruce started to play, the audience fell silent.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 When Teachers’ Day came around, Tom had a plan. It was the tradition of the school to have a concert for the teachers. Every class had to contribute an item. Tom convinced the class to let Bruce perform. Short of ideas, the class agreed. On the day of the concert, all the teachers and students were surprised to see the school’s most awkward student walking on stage with a violin. Some of the students started to talk about all the funny things Bruce did.
When Bruce started to play, the audience fell silent. Their jaws dropped open. As the last note ended, there was a moment of silence. Then the audience responded with thunderous applause. Bruce became a popular icon and had many fans in his final year of school. Today, Bruce and Tom are still best friends. Bruce is on a scholarship pursuing music in Austria. Some days he still comes to class wearing an inside-out shirt or a pair of mismatched shoes.

Street Artists You Should Know
With unpredictable weather conditions and unfixed workspaces, street art isn’t that easy to do. That’s why street artists deserve so much respect. In this post, we pay respect to some talented urban street artists.
Banksy
Banksy is the gold standard when it comes to urban street art. His reputation has only grown since the 2010 release of his movie, Exit Through the Gift Shop. Three years later, in New York, the British street art it took the city by storm with his unexpected “Better Out Than In” project More recently, Ban sky has focused his workaround world crises.
C215
French street artist Guemy, aka (又名) C215, travels around the world beautifying the streets. He usually paints local faces because, in his words, “faces reflect the personality” of a city. Another continuing theme through his art is his daughter Nina, who we’ve seen turns from a little girl into a young woman.
Titi Freak
Hamilton Yokota, aka Titi Freak, is a Sao Paulo native with Japanese ancestry whose art combines his cultural back grounds. After making his way over to Japan, he kept himself busy by painting the streets of Osaka for three whole months. His brightly colored koi fish (锦鲤) really sets the bar for other street artists.
Hyuro
Hyuro is an Argentinian-born street artist that is currently based out of Valencia, Spain. Her works are full of movement. She often deals with the theme of motherhood and her work from a female perspective (角度) is refreshing on the male-dominated scene.
17. Where is the artist starting the “Better Out Than In” project from
A. Spain. B. France. C. Britain. D. Japan.
18 Who often paints local faces
A. C215. B. Hyuro. C. Banksy. D. Titi Freak.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been coming up with ambitious little business ideas. The Eco Denim Movement is the fourth business I’ve founded. Last year, I built this business on three strong passions of mine: business, op-shopping and saving our world. Recently, I did a project on the cotton industry and found out some true facts in the production phases of cotton. I couldn't believe that a single pair of jeans took around 10,000 litres of water to produce.
My project promotes slow fashion and encourages people to purchase my used and repurposed denim (斜纹粗棉布). The denim industry is one of the biggest water consumers in our world — there are 2.7 billion people in our world currently facing water scarcity (缺乏). Every year, the denim industry uses over 12 trillion litres of water. This is enough to supply each of those 2.7 billion people with 4 years' worth of water. Reselling denim, which has already made it through the water-draining production stages, means that with every purchase of secondhand jeans over brand new ones we are saving 10,000 litres of valuable water.
I've sourced denim from my family, friends and op-shops all over Adelaide — the capital city of the state of South Australia. But the most difficult part about starting my business as a girl was that there were a lot of expenses involved in starting up: buying all the pieces of denim, getting all the equipment required for my business, and purchasing my website domain (域名). However, that didn’t stop me. No one is ever too young to start a business. So many people feel like they are not skilled enough or don’t have the brains to start a business, but that’s not true! All you need to start a successful business is ambition and a whole lot of passion.
20. How did the fact mentioned in paragraph 1 make the author feel
A. Ashamed. B. Confused.
C. Shocked. D. Relieved.
21. What do the figures in paragraph 2 suggest
A. The popularity of slow fashion.
B Different methods of saving water.
C. Huge profits from selling used jeans.
D. The significance of reselling denim.
22. What was a major headache for the author while starting her business
A. The tight budget. B. The source of denim.
C. Her lack of practical experience. D. Bitter opposition from her family.
23. What can we say about the author
A. She is a girl of determination.
B. She is too young to do business.
C. She shows no interest in shopping.
D. She is a kind-hearted and generous girl.

In all of the Jurassic Park movies, dinosaurs (恐龙) are the stars of the show. The way the dinosaurs look and move is amazing — they seem so real. But dinosaurs haven’t lived on our planet for the last 65 million years. So how do filmmakers bring them to life They ask paleontologists (古生物学家) for help.
Paleontologist Tyler Lyson has been interested in dinosaurs since he was a child. He grew up in the countryside in the western United States and found his first dinosaur fossil (化石) when he was only six years old. Lyson says the best way to learn about dinosaurs is to look at fossils. Fossils and footprints help scientists understand how dinosaurs looked, moved, and lived.
Filmmakers use fossils and other research from paleontologists to build dinosaurs for their movies. But they also have to imagine. The dinosaur builders have to decide what color the dinosaurs are, what patterns (图案) the dinosaurs have, how long their tails are...
Another very important thing that helps bring dinosaurs to life is the computer. After dinosaur builders make dinosaur models, they put pictures of them into a computer, and then use CGI — computer-generated imagery (计算机生成影像) to make them move. Filmmakers have used CGI for all the dinosaurs in the Jurassic Park movies.
Paleontologists still have a lot of questions about dinosaurs. What did they sound like How did they look for food What did they eat The answers to these questions will help filmmakers create even more realistic dinosaurs than ever before.
24. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 1 refer to
A. The Jurassic Park movies. B. Paleontologists.
C. The last 65 million years. D. Dinosaurs.
25. What does Lyson think is the best way to learn about dinosaurs
A. Reading books. B. Looking at fossils.
C. Watching movies. D. Going to the countryside.
26. What’s Paragraph 4 mainly about
A. Why CGI is popular. B. Why filmmakers build dinosaurs.
C. How dinosaur models are brought to life. D. What questions paleontologists still have.
27. What can we know from the passage
A Lyson’s interesting dinosaurs started young.
B. Some paleontologists also make dinosaur movies.
C. Dinosaurs appeared on our planet 65 million years ago.
D. Paleontologists already know what dinosaurs sounded like.

After wildfire store through Australia this year (and many other years), Dr Alexandra Car they from Macquarie University came up with the idea of cardboard homes for wildlife, giving them a fighting chance of survival after wildfires.
The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) ran an innovation challenge in order to restore species and landscapes, help them adapt to a changing climate and regenerate Australia after burning flames (火焰) spread across much of the habitat. Funding from WWF will enable field trials of this unique idea of cardboard habitats for wildlife.
“Bushfires destroy vegetation where small animals hide,” Car they told WWF. “Raptors (猛禽) arrive within minutes after a fire, while foxes can travel many kilometres towards fires because they know the hunting will be excellent. They come in and kill our native animals who have little place to hide on a burnt landscape.”
The cardboard shelters are six-sided pyramids (金字塔形的物体), 60cm wide on each side and 60cmt all. They can be flat-packed, allowing for easy transportation from the factory to the wilderness. They have been designed as a safe house for wildlife such as possums, bush rats and reptiles, as well as smaller creatures such as insects. These shelters are biodegradable (可生物降解的), with holes that allow light in so that vegetation can regenerate and eventually take over the site.
While environmentalists have always placed makeshift shelters in the form of logs and chicken wire (铁丝网) structures, the solutions involve dragging heavy things around, damaging fire grounds and preventing bush regeneration.
This initiative could also be used in South Africa, where many bird species are badly affected by fires.
28 What is a purpose of WWF’s innovation challenge in Australia
A. To protect natural habitats from being taken up.
B. To prevent wildfires from happening.
C. To increase wildlife population.
D. To raise the public’s awareness about climate change.
29. How might wildfires affect small animals according to Carthey
A. They expose them to hunting animals. B. They take their lives with burning flames.
C. They force them to travel far to find food. D. They make their habitats too hot to live in.
30. Why do the cardboard homes have holes
A. To draw animals’ attention. B. To assist with plant growth.
C. To enable small insects to climb in. D. To let air in for animals to breathe.
31. What is a problem with traditional makeshift shelters
A. They have a short life. B. They are non-biodegradable.
C. They look too obvious in the wild. D. They are inconvenient to carry around.

63. 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。
The whole class burst out laughing as Bruce rushed into the classroom. He was a strange sight. His half-buttoned white shirt revealed a red pajama top(睡衣上衣) underneath and instead of white school shoes, he had on a pair of bright green shoes that were two sizes too big.
Bruce said quietly, “Sorry teacher”and walked to his seat. Mr. Tan looked at the rest of the students. The laughter quickly turned to silence. Bruce’s classmates always looked forward to Mondays. Nine times out often, they would be entertained by Bruce’s late arrival and his odd appearance which usually included inappropriate clothing.
Bruce lived just a street away from the school. He walked to school daily. Students passing by in buses would shout his name together just to see him jump and stop in his tracks. When he spotted the merry bunch in the bus, he would wave good-naturedly. Although Bruce was likable, he was too lost in his own thoughts to make friends. His classmates found him amusing but they ignored him most of the time. Only Tom, who sat next to Bruce, tried to be his friend.
The following Monday, Bruce did not turn up at school. His classmates were a little disappointed but quickly forgot about him. After school, Tom decided to walkover to Bruce’s house to check on him. As he approached the gate, he could hear violin music. Bruce must be listening to music, he thought. The gate was not locked. Tom let himself in. He called Bruce’s name a few times but there was no response. The music played on. Tom looked in through a window. His eyes widened in surprise. In the middle of the living room, Bruce was playing the violin. His eyes were closed in concentration as he drew the bow (琴弓) over the strings expertly. He played beautifully, so much so that it sounded like a recording. Tom left quietly.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
When Teachers’ Day came around, Tom had a plan.

When Bruce started to play, the audience fell silent.
