John White, a typical teenage boy, is keen on hiking and photography. He also lives in a large zoo.
John, the son of the late"Crocodile Hunter"star Steve White, is now taking center stage in"Crikey!It's the Whites, "a new series on Animal Planet. "We've worked on quite a few different TV projects, but this is actually the first time my whole family has come back to Animal Planet together, so it's pretty unusual, "says John. Premiering(首映)at 8 p. m. on Sunday, "Crikey!"follows the Whites as they run the 100-acre Australia Zoo, founded by Steve White's parents. Steve owned and ran the zoo before he died in 2006. "We've always grown up in front of a camera. Bindi, my sister, and I were both filmed for some of the original' Crocodile Hunter' documentaries(纪录片)，”says John.
“I'm very lucky in the way that I've had so much of my life captured(拍摄)on camera, so as the memories you have of Dad start to fade, you can always look back at the old footage(镜头)and relive those special moments, "he says.
“Crikey!It's the Whites"has some footage of Steve. The most exciting part of the premiere involves John leading the"Croc Show"at the zoo's"Crocoseum", a 5, 500-seat stadium Steve built to give crocodile performances and educate visitors about crocodile behavior.
Of course, running a zoo doesn't leave much time for school, so John participates in Distance Education, a program similar to homeschooling. "School can be difficult for me to fit in, "he says. "But I've actually got a classroom that's set up at Australia Zoo and a teacher that travels with us wherever we go, so I can fit in all of my studies. " John continues, "I'm learning as much as I can about all of the animals and all of the work at Australia Zoo. I feel really honored to be following in Dad's footsteps. I love continuing that work. "

Food storing is common in members of the crow(乌鸦）family. A new study tested the birds outside this naturally occurring behaviour, which may have evolved(进化）specifically because it gives crows a survival advantage. Some crow species are known to naturally use tools to recover food. So the researchers tested whether the birds could store and recover a tool so they could get it at their food after a gap of 17 hours-something we wouldn't expect them to do naturally. But they were able to instantly select the tool out of a number of unnecessary items.
In another experiment, the researchers taught crows to select a token(礼品券）from a number of items so that they could then exchange for food. Again, the birds then showed that they could plan for the future using this new behaviour. This is different from all of the previous studies in future planning, which have focused on naturally occurring behaviour. For example, we know that chimpanzees select, transport and save appropriate tools for future needs.
These studies have shown that animals can plan for the future-but they left an important question open for debate. Are animals only able to plan to use abilities that have evolved to give them a specific advantage, or can they flexibly and intelligently apply planning behaviour across various actions Most critics would say the former, as the animals were tested in naturally occurring behaviors.
But the new research provides the first evidence that animal species can plan for the future using behaviour that doesn't typically occur in nature. This supports the view that at least some recognitive abilities in animals don't evolve just in response to specific problems. Instead, it suggests that animals can apply these behaviors flexibly across problems in a similar way to humans. We need to investigate how flexible behaviour evolved. Then we might be able to see how crows' ability to plan for the future fits in with their broader cognitive powers.
28. What's the new finding about some crows according to Paragraph 1
A．They can store food.
B．They can use tools to recover food.
C．They can store and recover tools.
D．They can select and store food.
29. What are crows trained by scientists to do when given a token
A．Reject it casually.
B．Exchange it for food.
C．Save it as their food.
D．Build a nest with it.
30. What do scientists think of the studies that animals can plan for the future
A．They are debatable.
B．They are disappointing.
C．They are contradictory.
D．They are convincing.
31. What can be inferred about recognitive abilities in animals
A．They develop only with age.
B．It is unclear how they've evolved now.
C．No animals but crows benefit from them.
D．Planning for the future helps their evolution.

A walk through the galleries of Quebec’s Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (MMFA) places individuals face-to-face with some 43, 000 artworks ranging from Chinese ceramics to Inuit sculpture.
While the visiting is an incredible cultural experience, a group of local physicians will soon be able to prescribe museum visits as treatment for some illnesses.
“We know that art contributes to neural (神经的) activity, ” said MMFA director Nathalie Bondil. “What we see is that being in contact with art can really help your well-being. ”
Hélène Boyer, vice president of a Montreal-based medical association, explains that museum visits have been shown to increase levels of serotonin, a neurotransmitter (神经递质) known as the “happy chemical” which helps to lift the mood.
According to Boyer, the small increase in hormones associated with enjoying an afternoon of art is similar to that offered by exercise, making museum visits prescriptions ideal for the elderly experiencing pain that prevents them from regularly joining in physical activity.
The museum visits are designed to improve traditional methods. As Bondil notes, spending time in a peaceful environment can provide a welcome distraction. “What is most important is this experience can help them escape from their own pain” she says. “When you enter the museum, you escape from the speed of our daily life. ”
“I am convinced that in the 21st century, culture will be what physical activity was for health in the 20th century, ” said Bondil. “Some people would do well to recall that just in the 19th century, sports were believed to do harm to the body. Just as doctors now prescribe exercise, they will be able to prescribe a visit to the MMFA. ”
32. What does Hélène Boyer think of museum visits
A．They can cheer people up.
B．They can reduce physical activity.
C．They can slow down our life pace.
D．They can increase levels of art appreciation.
33. How do museum visits affect people
A．Stop them concentrating on pain.
B．Stop them focusing on traditional methods.
C．Encourage them not to be absent-minded.
D．Encourage them to slow their steps while walking.
34. What does the last paragraph suggest
A．Physical activity was popular in the 19th century.
B．Sports are considered to be harmful to the body.
C．Ideas of treating illnesses are changing over time.
D．Doctors prescribe museum visits regularly now.
35. What is the main ideas of the text
A．Museum visits are ideal for the elderly.
B．The happy chemical helps to lift the mood.
C．Peaceful environment helps escape pain.
D．Cultural activities will promote health.

67. 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。
This late in December, the cow path near our house in Tennessee was still covered with leaves, but I knew snow would be falling soon enough. My younger brother, Buddy Earl, and I were on an important mission: Go to Uncle Tommie’s place and get a goose. The trek (长途跋涉) over Little Mountain and back to get there would be worth it. Uncle Tommie raised the best geese around, and he’d offered to give us one for Christmas dinner. Dark clouds were gathering in the sky above and a cold wind came in from the north. Uncle Tommie met us at the door with a worried expression. “I’m not rushing you boys off, ” he said, “but the way the wind is picking up, you better get the goose and head for home. ”
I didn’t argue. Having scooped (迅速抱住) up a goose in the yard and held him tightly under my arm, I said a quick thank you and goodbye. Buddy and I had what we came for: the best Christmas dinner ever. A light snow started as we began climbing up Little Mountain. We didn’t talk for a while. The snow came down harder and the wind seemed to blow straight through my coat. I stroked (轻抚) the goose’s head and said, “I wish we had feathers to keep us warm like you, or heavier coats. ”
The goose hid his head closer to his feathered body. By the time we reached the top of the mountain, both Buddy Earl and I were in horror. We could barely see through the snow spinning (旋转) around us. Thunder crashed and flashes of lightning made the trees appear as giant monsters reaching out with fingers.
“Doug, I’m freezing, ” Buddy Earl said. “I think we should go back. ” But we were closer to home than to Uncle Tommie’s house. We had to push on. I was so cold, my legs getting so stiff, I honestly wondered if we would make it. I grasped Uncle Tommie’s goose closer to my chest. That bird was the only thing warm about me.
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。
Paragraph 1: “Doug, it is time for you to open your coat. ”____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

第二节 读后续写（参考范文）
Paragraph 1: “Doug, it is time for you to open your coat. ”
Hearing Buddy’s weak voice, I slowly opened my coat without hesitation. The goose seemed to sense our extreme cold and stayed quietly in my arms. I pulled Buddy close to me, letting both of us share the warmth from the goose. The snow was still falling heavily and the wind kept howling, but we felt a little warmer. Encouraged by the tiny warmth and each other, we struggled forward step by step. We held each other’s hands tightly and kept walking, refusing to give up in the terrible weather.
Paragraph 2: Hearing our surviving experience, my parents hesitated about what to do with the goose.
Knowing the goose had saved us from the freezing weather, my parents couldn’t bear to cook it for Christmas dinner. After a short discussion, they decided to keep the goose as a special member of our family. We built a warm shelter for it in our yard and took good care of it. Every Christmas afterwards, we would look at the goose gratefully. It was not just a bird, but a warm reminder of that snowy day and the precious kindness and warmth in life.
