A while later they indeed saw mice running out, one after another.Then, everyone thought that all the mice had 3 . But just as they were just about to start to clean up, they saw two mice squeezing out at the 4 of the hole. After some endeavour, the mice finally got out. But 5 , they did not run away immediately. Instead, one chased after the other near the exit of the hole. It seemed that one was trying to bite the 6 of the other. Everyone was puzzled, so they stepped 7 to take a look. They realized that one of the mice was 8 and could not see anything, and the other one was trying to allow the blind mouse to 9 on his tail so he could pull the blind one with him to escape.After witnessing what happened, everyone was 10 and lost in thought. During meal time, the group of people sat down and started to chat about what had happened to the two mice. One serious Rome official said, “I think the relationship between those two mice was that of emperor and 11 .” The others thought for a while and said, “That was why!” A smart Israeli said, “I think their relationship was husband and wife.” The others felt it made sense, so they 12 . A Korean, who was accustomed to the firm tradition of loyalty to 13 , said, “I think the relationship between them was that of mother and son.” Once again the others felt this was more reasonable.At that moment, one Samaritan who sat behind them resting his chin in his palms, 14 looked at other people, and asked, “Why did those two mice have to have a certain relationship?” Suddenly, the atmosphere froze.

Mum gave me two tickets for a film, telling me she was too busy to go together with me with the 1 (end) housework. She told me to keep the money if I could sell the extra ticket.I was very happy. At that time, a ticket cost only 20 fen. But to me, a little girl of twelve, 20 fen seemed quite a lot. I reached the cinema 2 (hurry). Holding the ticket in my hand, I began to look for a buyer. Just then a handsome young man, 3 noticed me and the ticket, came towards me with a big smile, “You’ve got 4 extra ticket?”“Yes,”I nodded. “That’s great. Say how much?”“20 fen.”“Oh,”he thought for a while and then took out a ten-yuan note 5 his wallet.?“I’m terribly sorry, 6 I’ve only got this note.” Seeing I was confused, he added, “Then how about waiting for a while 7 I have changed it in the cinema’s store?”Without much thinking, I agreed.

Rainforests have a great effect on the world environment because they can take in heat from the sun and adjust the climate. Without the forest cover, these areas would reflect more heat into the atmosphere, warming the rest of the world. Losing the rainforests may also influence wind and rainfall patterns, potentially causing certain natural disasters all over the world.In the past hundred years, humans have begun destroying rainforests in search of three major resources(资源): land for crops, wood for paper and other products, land for raising farm animals. This action affects the environment as a whole. For example, a lot of carbon dioxide(二氧化碳) in the air comes from burning the rainforests. People obviously have a need for the resources we gain from cutting trees but we will suffer much more than we will benefit.There are two main reasons for this. Firstly, when people cut down trees, generally they can only use the land for a year or two. Secondly, cuttinglarge sections of rainforests may provide a good supply of wood right now, but in the long run it actually reduces the world’s wood supply.Rainforests are often called the world’s drug store. More than 25% of the medicines we use today come from plants in rainforests. However, fewer than 1% of rainforest plants have been examined for their medical value. It is extremely likely that our best chance to cure diseases lies somewhere in the world’s shrinking rainforests.( )1.

Rainforests and Medical DevelopmentB(2013·广州一模)Zoos divide opinion: There are those who think it is cruel to keep animals locked up while others believe zoos are essential for the survival of endangered species.To argue that zoos imprison animals is to misunderstand what zoos are about. Without zoos many of the creatures we love and admire would no longer exist. Every single day, over one hundred animal species vanish. Scientists predict that as early as 2050 one quarter of the Earth’s species will become extinct.Some animals are in danger because they are hunted. Alarmingly, the population of tigers has already fallen by ninety-five percent. Other species are in danger because of a lack of food. For example, there are fewer than 1,300 giant pandas left in the wild.Zoos have special breeding programmes to help those animals at risk. These breeding programmes are proving extremely successful. As Irene Shapiro from Zoo and Wildlife Support says, “The Puerto Rican Parrot has grown in numbers from just thirteen to about eighty-five and the Golden Lion Tamarin Monkey, which has almost ceased to exist twenty years ago, has been reintroduced back into the wild.”Unfortunately, not everyone understands this important role zoos play. For example, Brian Featherstone from the Anti-Zoo Forum says, “I can’t believe we take animals from the wild and put them in cages for the entertainment of the public! We should view them on film or TV in their natural environment.”However, this misses the point. A zoo does more than display animals to the public. It ensures their survival. Without zoos you would not be able to see many of these animals on TV or anywhere else!( )1. What’s the writer’s attitude towards zoos?A. He shows no opinion either for or against them.B. He thinks that they are unnecessary and cruel.C. He believes they play an important environmental role.D. He expresses a desire that more of them be built.( )2. The underlined word “vanish” in Paragraph 2 most probably means “”.A. remainB. disappearC. become rarerD. get killed( )3. According to the passage, the world’s tiger population .A. will rise by 5% next yearB. is relatively stableC. is 95% smaller than in the pastD. has fallen to 95%( )4. According to the passage, some people do not agree with zoos because they .A. are too expensive to runB. put animals in dangerC. do not provide enough foodD. keep animals locked up( )5. According to the writer, the most important function of the zoo is to .A. make a lot of moneyB. entertain visitorsC. ensure animals’ survivalD. educate the public。
