A
How could we possibly think that keeping animals in cages in unnatural environmentsmostly for entertainment purposesis fair and respectful
Zoo officials say they are concerned about animals However most zoos remain collections of interesting things rather than protective habitats Zoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals bored lonely and far from their natural homes
Zoo claims to educate people and save endangered species but visitors leaves zoos without having learned anything meaningful about the animals’ natural behavior intelligence or beauty Zoo keeps animals in small spaces or cages and most signs only mention the species’ name diet and natural range The animals’ normal behavior is seldom noticed because zoos don’t usually take care of the animals’ natural needs
The animals are kept together in small spaces with no privacy and little opportunity for mental and physical exercise This results in unusual and selfdestructive behavior called zoochosis A worldwide study of zoos found that zoochosis common among animals kept in small spaces or cages Another study showed that elephants spend 22 percent of their time making repeated head movements or biting cage bars and bears spend 30 percent of their time walking back and forth a sign of unhappiness and pain
Furthermore most animals in zoos are not endangered Captive breeding (圈养繁殖) of endangered big cats Asian elephants and another species has not resulted in their being sent back to the wild Zoos talk a lot about their captive breeding programs because they do not want people to worry about a species dying out In fact baby animals also attract a lot of paying customers Haven’t we seen enough competitions to name baby animals
Actually we still save endangered species only if we save their habitats and put an end to the reasons people kill them Instead of supporting zoos we should support groups that work to protect animals’ natural habitats
( ) 1 According to the passage what point of view does the author hold
A Zoos are not worth the public support

B
It was a late Wednesday night when the dreading phone call reached our home I sat up so I could hear the phone call better To my surprise I heard my mom burst into tears Get the car Dean Andrea has been in a car accident
We ran every stop sign on the way to the hospital and our tires screeched around every corner We got to the hospital but were not allowed to see Andrea The next morning after wearing masks we were allowed to go to the ICU to see Andrea Well the least I could say was that everything was injured in her body and she lost all of her memories It was a fatal accident
Over the next two months I lived more at the hospital than I did at my house I watched as Andrea worked so hard to gain back everyday motor skills She never once complained or pitied herself her determined spirit was shining through After two weeks in the ICU and two months of the regular hospital treatment Andrea was able to come home She missed several months of school so it was hard for her to catch up Andrea had tasks to accomplish and no matter how hard it was she stuck with them until the job was done Though busy with dealing with pain and therapy she always found time to love and play with me
I’ll never forget the impact that this incident made on my life I admire her strongwilled personality and her determined spirit Today she is perfectly normal despite the scars and the pins holding her leg in place I couldn’t ask for a better sister hero or best friend
( ) 4 From the underlined sentence in the second paragraph we can infer that _______
A the family did not obey the traffic rules

C the whole family were too anxious to see Andrea
D their house was very far from the hospital
( ) 5 __________ mainly made the writer’s sister recover from the car accident

C An Accident Which Changed My Sister D An Incident Which Influenced Me Much
参考答案：CBDB
C
Unlike the widely attended Summer Olympics the Winter Games are almost a collection of wealthy athletes and nations In fact I’d suggest that the name of the Winter Games be changed They could be more accurately branded the The European and North American Expensive Sports Festival
Until as recently as 1994 fewer than a third of the planet’s countries took part This year in Turin Italy only 43 percent of the world’s total countries Ethiopia a nation of 73 million will send its first team to a Winter Olympics this year – a single skier
As always the biggest teams and the big winners will come from a familiar pool In the history of the winter competition dating from its beginning in 1924 competitors from only six countries
including Norway the United States Austria and Finland have won almost twothirds of all the medals awarded By contrast the alltime list of summer winners is long and deep extending to athletes from 143 countries
It’s not just the presence or absence of snow and ice that determines Winter Olympics success or even participation(参) If it were some of America’s best ice skaters and speedskaters wouldn’t live and train in Southern California or Florida If it were athletes from countries like Peru Chile Nepal Morocco Afghanistan and Ethiopia – all with snowcovered mountains—would be fighting for the medals
Instead the more telling factors are economic Wouldbe Winter Olympians need years of training coaching and competition Most nations even those with plenty of snow and cold simply can’t afford the equipment
Unlike the Winter Games the Summer Olympics level many of the advantages of national wealth as well as favorable geography and climate Athletes from the poorest African and Caribbean nations have developed into some of the world’s greatest athletes with little cost
Baron Pierre de Coubertin the fonder of the modern Olympics recognized some of the global sporting unfairness more than a century ago De Coubertin objected to the creation of a separate Winter Olympics for many years dismissing winter sports in 1921 as the play of the rich
( ) 8 The underlined word extending is close in meaning to _________
A to spread B to conclude C to offer D to award
( ) 9 Which of the following statements is Not True according to the passage
A The participation rate of the Winter Olympics is far less than 50
B The host country of the recent Winter Olympic Games is Turin
C The first Winter Olympics were held in 1924
D Winners of the Summer Olympics come from almost everywhere
( ) 10 We can infer that____________
A Some athletes of the Winter Olympics from USA are trained in warm states
B It doesn’t snow in Peru Chile Nepal Morocco Afghanistan or Ethiopia
C Games in the Summer Olympics cost the participants a lot of money
D Baron Pierre de Coubertin was the founder of the Winter Olympics
( ) 11 The best title for the passage would be _________
A The Unfair Winter Olympic Games
B Where Have the Gold Medals Gone
C The Winter Olympics the Rich Meet to Compete
D Do We Need So Many Olympics

Many doctors who later reviewed the reports of Napoleon’s illness found that the symptoms did not show a man who suffered from stomach cancer It seemed obvious that Napoleon had died from some other cause In 1961 a Swedish doctor examined some of Napoleon’s hair and found a high level of arsenic a chemical poison Was Napoleon murdered It is doubtful Arsenic was used in many types of medicine during Napoleon’s time so he might have taken the arsenic as a cure for his illness Then in 1982 Dr David Jones from England began to look into the mystery and suggested that Napoleon might have breathed in arsenic which was in the air of his house In 1700s and 1800s arsenic was used to make a kind of green paint used on cloth and wallpaper If the paint was used on a wet wall the arsenic would go into the air A person in the room might breathe that air After studying the wallpaper in the room where Napoleon died Dr Jones found high levels of arsenic in the green paint on the walls
