AZoos 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 1300 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 thirte en 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!26. 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.27.The underlined word “vanish” in Paragraph 2 most probably means _____.A. remainB. disappearC. become rarerD. get killed28. __ A ccording to the passage the world‟s tiger population _____.A. will rise by 5% next yearB. is relatively stableC/ is 95% smaller than in the past D. has fallen to 95%29 • A ccording 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 up30.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 publicBToday, bicycles are elegantly simple machines that are common around the world. Many people ride bicycles for recreation, whereas others use them as a means of transportation. The first bicycle was invented in Germany in 1818. Because it was made of wood, it wasn‟t very strong nordid it have pedals (脚踏板）.Riders moved it by pushing their feet against the ground.In 1839, Kirkpatrick Macmillan, a Scottish blacksmith, invented a much better bicycle. Macmillan‟s machine had iron-covered wheels to keep them from getting worn down. He also used foot-operated levers, similar to pedals, so his bicycle could be ridden at a quick pace. It didn‟t look much like the modem bicycle, though, because its back wheel was substantially larger than its front wheel. Although Macmillan‟s bicycles could be ridden easily, the y were never produced in large numbers.In 1861, Frenchman Pierre Michaux and his brother Ernest invented a bicycle with an improved pedal mechanism. They called their bicycle a velocipede，but most people called it a “bone shaker” because of the effect of the wood and iron frame. Despite the impolite nickname, the velocipede was a hit. After a few years, the Michaux family was making hundreds of the machines annually, mostly for fun-seeking young people.Ten years later, James Starley , an English inventor, made several innovations that revolutionized bicycle design. He made the front wheel many times larger than the back wheel, put a gear on the pedals to make the bicycle more efficient，and lightened the wheels by using wire spokes. Although this bicycle was much lighter and less tiring to ride, it was still clumsy, extremely top-heavy，and ridden mostly for entertainment.It wasn‟t until 1874 that the first truly modern bicycle appeared on t he scene. Invented by another Englishman, H. J. Lawson, the safety bicycle would look familiar to today‟s cyclists. The safety bicycle had equal-sized wheels, which made it easier to ride. Lawson also attached a chain to the pedals to drive the back wheel. By 1893，the safety bicycle had been further improved with air-filled rubber tires, a diamond-shaped frame, and easy braking. With the improvements provided by Lawson; bicycles became extremely popular and useful for transportation. Today, they are built, used, and enjoyed all over the world.31.This passage was most likely written in order to _____.A. compare bicycles used for different purposesB. describe the problems early bicycle makers experiencedC. persuade readers to use bicycles for transportationD. tell readers about the early history of the bicycle32.Macmillan covered the wheels of his bicycle with iron to _____A. add weight to the bicycleB_ make the bicycle easier to rideC. allow the wheels to last longerD. let the bicycle be more comfortable33. Which of the following bicycle types was invented by James Starley?34 Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Two hundred years ago，bicycles did not exist.B. The first bicycle could be ridden at a very quick pace.C. Th e Michaux brothers called their bicycle a “bone shaker”.D. Macmillan‟s machine had wheels with rubber tires.35.The information about bicycles in this passage is arranged according to _____.A. importanceB. timeC. placeD. interestCSince the end of World War I (WWI) in 1918，Canadians, and millions of others around the world have paused at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month to honour the sacrifices our soldiers have made in different wars, fighting for the freedoms that we all enjoy today.Known as Remembrance Day, the day originated as a tribute to the soldiers of WWI，a dark period for our young country, which claimed the lives of over 60,000 military personnel and civilians and over 16 million dead worldwide.As there are no more surviving soldiers of WWI，today we rely on the wisdom and words of those soldiers who fought in the wars that followed，and this day now also recognizes their heroic contribution.They tell us to always remember what those brave souls fought for, and all they ask in return is that we never forget.That‟s why we wear the red poppy (罂粟花);that‟s why when we see a soldier in uniform we should stop him or her and say “Thank you” ; that‟s why we take a pause from our busy lives for two short minutes today to honor that request.Yet this message is fading away, year after year.Take for example the terrible decision to allow parents to excuse students from Remembrance Day ceremonies at school.Not only is this disrespectful, it distances the student from his or her classmates.It is difficult to understand why any Canadian parent would want to remove their child from the time-honored tradition of reading the poem In Flanders Fields, while a wreath of poppies is laid.It is more important than ever to teach school-aged children about our history，no matter how violent it was. Sheltering them from the realities of war is a great disservice.Understanding why conflicts happened, or happen today, can help shape choices and decisions they make as adults.Of course, because we live in a free society, we cannot force an individual to do something. It is unfortunate, but some parents now have their child “opt-out” of the services. These people should be reminded they are free to make such choices only because of the men and women the rest of us are remembering.36.Which of the following is true about Remembrance Day?A. I t‟s only held in Canada.B. Its ceremony lasts 11 hours.C. It falls on November 11th each year.. D. I t‟s to celebrate the country‟s independence.37. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a Remembrance Day activity today?A. Stopping at 11a.m. to remember the war dead.B. Listening to stories told by WWI soldiers.C. Wearing a red poppy to show respect.D. Showing gratitude to soldiers in uniform.38. What can we learn from the passage?A. War history is too violent for school children.B. The writer was once a soldier in the Canadian army.C. Few students are willing to take part in Remembrance Day ceremonies.D. More parents are keeping their children away from frightening war stories.39.The underlined word “It” in the last paragraph probably refers to _____A. the death of so many soldiers in warsB. the fact that there were so many wars after WWIC. people‟s ungratefulness for the freedom they haveD. removing children from Remembrance Day events39.The writer believes that _______ .A. the sacrifice of the soldiers should always be rememberedB. Remembrance Day is becoming less important for soldiersC. schools - no longer think Remembrance Day is necessaryD. people should be forced to learn about the realities of warDAmerican actor Johnny Depp can best be described asunconventional. From his early life, his path into acting and even inhis choice of movie roles，we can see that Depp has seldom takenthe easy road. His willingness to take risks and do the unexpectedhas made Depp one of the few Hollywood actors able to achievehuge commercial success while maintaining his artistic reputation.Born in 1963，Depp was somewhat troublesome as a youth,.occasionally turning to petty-crime and drugs. When his parentsdivorced in 1978，Depp dropped out of school against his mother‟s wishes and started a music band called the Kids. Although the band achieved some success, they were seldom able to make ends meet，with Depp often unable to pay his rent, sleeping rough on friends‟ sofas and even in his car.In 1983，the ever-optimistic Depp and his new wife, Lori Anderson, moved to Hollywood California to further Depp‟s musical career. But life there continued to be a struggle and Depp was forced to take a job selling pens door to door to support his new family. His luck changed when Lori‟s ex-boyfriend, the famous actor Nicholas Cage, impressed by Depp‟s good looks and intelligence, suggested he become an actor and helped him get a small part in a movie. Several other minor movie roles — and a divorce from Lori — followed，before Depp got his big break three years later. He landed the leading role in the television series 21 Jump Street，playing a youthful undercover police officer. The hugely popular show turned Depp into a teenage heartthrob overnight. He appeared on the cover of countless magazines and was much sought after by movie producers, eager to exploit his popularity with teenage girls.But Depp left 21 Jump Street after three years, when it was at the height of its popularity, later admitting that he hated the show‟s unoriginal storylines and his “pretty boy” character. In the decade that followed, Depp rejected repeated offers of “pretty boy” roles in big-budget Hollywood films. Instead he established himself as a serious, somewhat dark, peculiar performer, consistently selecting roles in smaller, independent films that surprise critics and audiences alike.Even in the movie that made Depp an international superstar, The Pirates of the Caribbean (2003 )，he was barely recognizable as Captain Jack Sparrow, the British，long-hairedgolden-toothed pirate. This and subsequent hit movies have placed Depp at the very top of the commercial film industry ( with a pay-check of $20 million for each such movie) but he still continues to make the smaller, stranger films for which he is so greatly admired.41.As a youth, Depp could be described as a _____.A. serious criminalB. trouble makerC. drug addictD. successful musician42. The underlined expression “make ends meet” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning toA. get together after a showB. meet their audienceC. play to the endD. earn enough to live43. In which order did the following events take place in Depp‟s life?a. met Nicholas Cageb. started a band called the Kidsc. played a British pirated. sold pens door to doore. got married to Lori Andersonf. starred in a TV showA. d, b, e, a，c, fB. b，e，d，a，f，cC. a, b, f，c, d, eD. e，d, a，c，f, b44. Why did Depp leave the TV show 21 Jump Street ?A. The show was no longer popular.B. He wanted to perform in movies.C. He thought the show was terrible.D. He rejected planned changes to his role.45.Depp‟s choice of movie roles throughout most of his career suggests that _____.A. he valued interesting work over moneyB. he believed he couldn‟t play αpretty boy” roles wellC. he was very popular with Hollywood movie producersD. he was more interested in shocking audiences than entertaining第二节信息匹配（共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。
