I'm Fang Ming. On holidays my parents often take me to the zoo in our city because I like animals.

I have a lot of toy animals in my room. In the zoo I can see tigers, elephants, monkeys, pandas, bears, giraffes and many other animals. Some animals are very friendly, but some are not. Tigers, bears and lions are very dangerous. That is why they have to stay in cages. But I don't think it's good for animals to stay in cages. They should be free. The animals in cages can't be happy.

Tigers usually live in forests and mountains. They can run very fast. They catch and eat small animals like rabbits and deer，but now they live in small rooms. They have nothing to do every day. So they walk in the cages，and they want to get out. When they are tired，they sleep. I feel sorry for them.

In order to deal with the shortage (短缺) of women's restrooms in public places, unisex (不分性别的) public toilets have been introduced into many cities. Will you feel comfortable using such a public toilet? You're welcome to share your ideas.

Cathy (China)

Toilets should be separated into men's and women's. As a woman, I don't want to share the same toilet with men which will make me feel embarrassed. I don't think that making all the toilets unisex can solve this problem.

Mark (Australia)

I think increasing the number of women's toilets is the best choice. I always feel sorry for the ladies as there never seems to be enough toilets and they always have to wait in line.

Roger (the US)

In the United States, there are lots of public unisex toilets. The toilet here is a one-room toilet, so each person can be alone with a locked door. When a woman leaves, a man can go in. In my opinion, it is silly and very ________ for men and women (and kids) to mix together in the same room!

Nick (the UK)

There have been unisex toilets all over London for years. This just isn't a big deal. If the doors offer enough safety and protection, I don't have a problem with it in most situations. In France unisex toilets are also common, and they have been around for years.

A . Because sharing is quite popular nowadays.

B . Because unisex public toilets are very popular.

13. （8分）阅读下面材料，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

D

In a faraway kingdom, there was a river. It was the home to many golden swans (天鹅). The swans spent most of their time in the river. Every six months, the swans would leave a golden feather (羽毛) as a paying for using the river. The soldiers of the kingdom would collect the feathers and gave them to the king.

One day, a homeless bird saw the river. "The water in this river seems so cool and nice. I will make my home here," thought the bird.

The minute the bird landed near the river, the golden swans noticed her. They came shouting, "This river belongs to us! We pay a golden feather to the king to use this river. You can not live here."

"I am homeless, brothers. I will also pay. Please give me a place to live in," the bird pleaded (乞求). "How can you pay for it? You do not have golden feathers," said the swans, laughing. They added, "Stop dreaming and leave at once." The poor bird pleaded many times. But the arrogant (傲慢的) swans still drove the bird away.

"I will teach them a lesson!" decided the bird, feeling angry.

She went to the king and said, "Oh, my king! The swans in your river are rude and unkind. I pleaded for a home but they said that they had paid to live in the river with golden feathers."

The king was angry with the arrogant swans for having driven the homeless bird away. He ordered his soldiers to bring the swans to his palace. In no time, all the golden swans were brought to the king's palace.

"Do you think our kingdom depends on your golden feathers? You can not decide who lives by the river. Leave the river at once or I will kill you!" shouted the king.

On hearing the king's words, the swans flew away sadly. The bird built her home near the river and lived there happily. She gave homes to all other birds who came to the river.

（1）The swans did the following things except that ___________.

A . they spent most of their time in the river

B . they paid a golden feather every six months for using the river

C . they laughed at the bird and drove her away

b. The swans made a home in the river long ago.

c. The bird lived near the river with other birds happily.

d. The swans were made to fly away by the king.

A . b-d-a-c-e

B . b- e- a-d-c

C . e-b-c-a-d

D . a- c- e-b-d

（3）The king ordered the swans to leave the river because he thought __________.

三、任务型阅读 (共1题；共15分)

14. （15分）阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题。(请注意每小题后面的词数要求)

Foreign (外国的)visitors are often puzzled in Japan because most streets there don't have names. In Japan, people use landmarks(地标) instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, "Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is just across the bus stop."

In the Midwest of America, usually there are not many landmarks. So people will tell you directions(方向) and distance. In Kansas(堪萨斯州), for example, people will say, "Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile."

People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map. They measure(测量) distance by telling time. "How far is the post office?" you ask. "Oh," they answer, "it's about five minutes' walk from here. "

You say, "Yes, but how many miles away is it？" They don't know.

People in Greece(希腊) sometimes do not even try to give directions because few visitors understand the Greek language. Instead of giving you the direction, a Greek will often say, "Follow me." Then he'll lead you through the streets of the city to the post office.
