临阵磨枪不快也光,那基本是歪理邪说。

参加考试需要的是“硬”道理。

让应试教育尽快见鬼去吧……Passage 1No one is glad to hear that his body has to be cut open by a surgeon(外科医生)and part of it taken out.Today,however,we needn't worry about feeling pain during the operation.The sick person falls into a kind of sleep,and when he awakes,the operation is finished.But these happy conditions are fairly new.It is not many years since a man who had to have operation felt all its pain.Long ago,operation had usually to be done while the sick man could feel everything.The sick man had to be held down on a table by force while the doctors did their best for him.He could feel all the pain if his leg or arm was being cut off,and his fearful cries filled the room and the hearts of those who watched.Soon after 1770,Josept Priestley discovered a gas which is now called “laughing gas”.Laughing gas became known in America.Young men and women went to parties to try it.Most of them spent their time laughing,but one man at a party,Horace Wells,noticed that people didn't seem to feel pain when they were using this gas.He decided to make an experiment on himself.He asked a friend to help him.Wells took some of the gas,and his friend pulled out one of Well's teeth.Wells felt no pain at all.As he didn't know enough about laughing gas,he gave a man less gas than he should have.The man cried out with pain when his tooth was being pulled out.Wells tried again,but this time he gave too much of the gas,and the man died.Wells never forgot this terrible event.1.It is ____since a man being operated felt all the pain.A.a few more years B.not longC.few years D.two thousand years2.Long ago,when the sick man was operated on,he ____.A.could feel nothing B.could not want anythingC.could feel all the pain D.could do anything3.Using the laughing gas,the people did not seem to ____.A.be afraid of anything B.feel painC.want to go to the parties D.be ill4.If a man took less laughing gas than he should have when an operation went on, he __.A.felt nothing B.felt very comfortable(舒服的)C.still felt pain D.would die5.One who took too much of the laughing gas ___.A.would laugh all the time B.would dieC.would never feel pain D.would be very calm参考答案:CBCBPassage 2Modern zoos are very different from zoos that were built fifty years ago. At that time, zoos were places where people could go to see animals from many parts of the world. The animals lived in cages that were made of concrete (混凝土) with iron bars, cages that were easy to keep clean. Unfortunately for animals, the cages were small and impossible to hide in. The zoo environment was anything but natural. Although the zoo keepers took good care of the animals and fed them well, many of the animals did not thrive (茁壮成长) ; They behaved in strange ways, and they often became ill. In modern zoos, people can see animals in more natural habitats (家园).The animal was given more freedom in large areas so that they can live as they would in nature. Even the appearance of zoos has changed. Trees and grass grow in the cages, and streams of water flow through the areas that the animals live in. There are few bars; there is often only a deep ditch (沟渠), filled with water, surrounding an area where several species of animals live together as they would naturally.注:本段文字很方便设计完形填空题目,可以让学生认真阅读熟悉其内容。

The smoke also contains many gases, most of which cannot be seen. Altogether, they make up the serious problems of air pollution. In so many places it keeps us from seeing the sun, irritate(刺痛) our eyes, causes us to cough and makes us ill.Air pollution can spread from city to city. It even spreads from one country to another. Some northern European countries have had "black snow" from pollutants that have traveled through the air from other countries and have fallen with the snow. So air pollution is a global problem. It can kill babies, older people and those who have respiratory(呼吸) disease. In 1952, four thousands people die in one week as a result of a serious air pollution breakout in London. In 1948 in a small town of Pennsylvania, 20 people died in a four - day period of air pollution. As often found in cities, air pollution increases the risks of lung disease, such as bronchitis and asthma. Of course, smoking and other factors help to cause these illnesses, too, but these causes have increased greatly during recent years as air pollution has become worse.(1)、Which of the following is NOT true about the "black snow" incident?A:It happened in the northern European countries.B:It happened there because air pollution in these countries was most serious.C:Pollutants that fell with snow made it dirty.D:It is a global problem.答案: B评析:空(2)、Who can be killed by air pollution?A:Earth and plants.B:Stones and birds.C:Those who suffer from respiratory illnesses.D:Both A and C.答案: C评析:此题没有评析(3)、How many people died of air pollution in Pennsylvania in 1948?A:4,000.B:20.C:None.D:4020.答案: B评析:此题没有评析(4)、What are bronchitis and asthma?A:Different types of headaches.B:Lung disease.C:Heart diseases.D:Different types of stomach aches.答案: B评析:此题没有评析(5)、According to the passage, air pollution increases people's chance of getting ______?A:Headache.B:A lung disease.C:Stomachache.D:Nervous breakdown.答案: B评析:空2、 Paper is one of the most important products ever invented by man. Wide spread use of written language would not have been possible without some cheap and practical material to write on. The invention of paper meant that more people could be educated because more books could be printed and distributed. Together with the printing press, paper provided an extremely important way to communicate knowledge. How much paper do you use every year? Probably you cannot answer that question quickly. In 1900 the world's use of paper was about one kilogram for each person a year. Now some countries use as much as 50 kilograms of paper for each person a year. Countries like the United States, England and Sweden use more paper thanother countries.Paper, like many other things that we use today, was first made in China. In Egypt and the West, paper was not very commonly used before the year 1400. The Egyptians wrote on a kind of material made of a water plant. Europeans used parchment for many hundreds of years. Parchment was very strong; it was made fromthe skin of certain young animals. We have learnt of the most important facts of European history from records that were kept on parchment.(1)、What's the meaning for the word 'parchment'? ________A:The skin of young animals.B:A kind of paper made from the skin of certain young animals.C:The paper used by European countries.D:The paper of Egypt.答案: B评析:空(2)、Which of the following is not mentioned about the invention of paper? ________ A:More jobs could be provided than before.B:More people could be educated than before.C:More books could be printed and distributed.D:More ways could be used to exchange knowledge.答案: A评析:此题没有评析(3)、When did the Egyptians begin to use paper widely? ________A:Around 1400.B:Around 1900.C:Around 400.D:Around 900.答案: A评析:此题没有评析(4)、Which of the following countries uses more paper for each person a year?________A:China.B:Sweden.C:Egypt.D:Japan.答案: B评析:此题没有评析(5)、What is the main idea of this short talk? ________A:More and more paper is being consumed nowadays.B:Paper enables people to receive education more easily.C:The invention of paper is of great significance to man.D:Paper contributes a lot to the keeping of historical records.答案: C评析:此题没有评析三、词汇与语法1、Tom is so talkative.

The man who had preached (倡导) nonviolence (非暴力) died (violently). But Dr. King’s dream can never (die). Many Americans are still (working) to make that dream come true.(二)In Britain,winter is the season not only for visits to the theatre,opera,concerts and ballet,but also for shopping or for sightseeing. London,one of the (busiest)cities in the world,has plenty to offer during the winter months,(especially) in the way of entertainment and the(shops)act like a magnet with (their) array of presentsfor the Christmas (shopper),followed by large scale bargains in the January (sales). But it’s not only London that (offers) value shopping -most of our suburban and (provincial) centers have just as much to offer to the (eager) shopper. Even if you’re based (in) London,you don’t have to spend all your (time) there. Take a train or coach and (see)what else Britain has to offer; (there) are many excursions,even in winter,and among the great country houses (which) keep their stately front doors open (throughout) the year are Longleaf and Woburn Abbey.(Rent)a car and drive (out) into the beauty of the winter landscape -the scenery will be (ever) beautiful -and the people will have more time to chat to you (at) this time of year.(三)The United States covers the large part of the North American continent. (Its)neighbors are Canada to the north and Mexico to the south. (Although) the United States is a big country, it is not the largest. In 1964, its (population) was over 185,000,000.When the land first became a nation, after (winning) its independence from England, it had only thirteen states. (Each) was presented on the American flag by a (star). All the states were in the eastern part of the continent. As the nation (grew) towards the west, new states were added and new stars added to the flag. For a long time there were 48 states. In 1959, (however) two more stars were added to the flag representing the new states of Alaska and Hawaii.Many Americans are descendants of people who came from all over of the world to start a new way of life. Those (who) came first and in greatest numbers to make their homes on the eastern coast of NorthAmerica were mostly from (England). That is why the language of United States is English and why its culture and customs are most like those of England than anywhere else.(四)Time slips by slowly without notifying you. Sometimes you expect time to fly and it takes so (long) to pass. (Looking) back on my childhood days, I am glad to say some of the periods, cross your path only once, (even if) you wanted them to be repeated.I still remember the day when my mother first said to me that the (message) had come for me. I didn’t understand (what) that meat and I was sent to a classroom to sit on a cold bench. I cursed silently at the speed of the minute hand of the clock. How long it took in (covering) a minute!Another of my earliest (memories) was a much happier one. My uncle Joe hadbought me for my eighth birthday, a fish tank, with a number of golden fish in it. I (remember) staring at those funny little creatures the whole day, trying to (follow) them as they swam about. I put my hand into the water and tried to (catch) the fish. When took my hands back out of the tank I found, to my great surprise, that all the fish turned upside down!(五)Why don’t birds get lost on their long migratory (迁移的) fights? Scientists have been (puzzled) over this question for many years. Now the reasons have been discovered only recently.Experiments show that birds depend on the sun to guide them. But what of birds that fly mainly at night? Tests with man-made stars have proved (that) certain night-flying birds are able to follow the (stars). One such bird, a warbler—hadspent its lifetime in a (cage) and had never flown under a natural sky. Yet it showed an inborn (天生的) (ability) to use the stars for guidance. The bird’s cage was placed under a man-made star-filled sky at migration time. Any (change) in the position of the make-believe stars (caused) a change in the direction of his flight.Scientists think that warblers use the sun for guidance. But at night stars are clearly their important (means) of navigation (导航). What do they do when the stars are (hidden)? Clearly, they find their way by such landmarks as mountain ranges and rivers. But when it’s too dark to see these, the warblers circle (helplessly).(六)Should authority be criticized? In (much) of the world, authority is not challenged either out of respect or out of (fear). In such countries children are notexpected to (question) their teachers in school and (curious) young scholars or imaginative industrial aids are hampered (妨碍、牵制) in technical research because they don’t feel free to (disagree) or fight with their superiors. Cleve researchers may be considered too young to have “any fight”to present (findings) that are different from the knowledge and wisdom of their older, more experienced colleagues. However, Americans are expected from childhood to question, analyze and search. School tasks are (designed) to encourage the use of a wide range of materials. A composition topic such as “Write a paper (on) the world’s supply of sugar”will send many a child in search of completely unfamiliar ideas. (Even) in the primary grads, children are taught to use libraries and the worldwide web or the Internet, and to search for new ideas of various sorts. By learning to accept the unfamiliar at an earlyage these young people become more tolerant of other people’s ideas throughout their lives. (By) the time they are 14, 15 and 16, many young scholars are making original and valuable contributions in all fields of science.(七)As late as 1800, women’s only place was in the home. No “nice”woman would (dream) of entering what was strictly a male world. Men believed that woman couldn’t handle a job outside her home. This was such a (widely) accepted idea that when the famous Bronte sisters began writing books in 1846, they disguised (假装) themselves by (signing) their books with men’s names.Teaching was the first profession (open) to woman soon after 1800 because then most high schools and colleges were open only to men. Oberlin College was the first college in America to (accept) women.Hospital nursing became respectable work for woman only (after) Florence Nightingale became famous. Because she was a wealthy and educated woman, as well as a nurse, people began to believe (it) was possible for women to nurse the sick. England’s first training school for nurse was opened in 1860.The (invention) of the typewriter in 1867 made it possible for women to come out of the home and go into the business world. Because women had slender, quick (fingers), they could operate typewriters quickly and well. By 1900, thousands of women were working at real jobs in school and offices in both England and America. The idea (that) women could work in the business had been accepted.(八)The effects of population growth can be seen in global and in local terms. Globaleffects-ozone depletion and global warming-are not as linked to the developing countries as to the wasteful and polluting production systems in (industrialized) countries. Population growth in the Third World does not destroy completely the planet. But (while) the industrialized world needs to drastically (effects) of their industrialized population. The developing world must aim for zero population growth to (deal with) local impacts of population. Ninety percent of the growth in the 21st century will be in the developing world. The local effects are dramatic. Population (growth) in the Philippines and Africa can devastate their own area-growing too fast may mean that they run (short) of food to feed themselves, as the gains of the Green Revolution may start to run dry (because of) overuse of the land. In China’s case, even with family planning, its population will continue to in crease at a high rate (due to)the sheer size of the population base. (Furthermore), its one-child policy is not a permanent solution, as it will create an age structure (that) will be difficult to deal with in the future.(九)China has 267 million families. About 10 million newlyweds establish new households every year. Many of these new households differ significantly (from) traditional families.The concept of marriage is changing so that people more marry for happiness (rather than) to carry on the family (line). Most people hope to find a spouse who is well-educated and considerate. While they value love in a marriage, most people also consider the material well-being of a (potential) spouse.China is rapidly changing from the traditional belief (that) more children meanmore happiness to the modern concept of fewer and healthier births. In less than two decades, China’s fertility rate has dropped by more than 50 percent. (Increasingly), young couples are postponing having a child to allow for their own personal growth and enjoyment. Some couples are (declining) to have children. In these cases, women generally play a pivotal (role); this situation is most common in large cities.In recent years the divorce (rate) has slowly climbed in China, but it is still only one-third to one-fifth that of developing countries such as India and Thailand. This indicates that Chinese marriages are still relatively stable (even though) people’s ideas and conduct have changed significantly since China’s reform and opening to the outside world.(十)Before 1836 the Texas area (belonged)to Spain and then to Mexico. (Under) the leadership of Stephen Austin, American settlers moved to Texas. The Mexican government wanted these settlers to become Mexican citizens and Roman Catholics and to (free) their slaves, but the settlers had (other) ideas. They demanded local self-government and the same rights (as) Americans in the United States, such as trial by jury (陪审团).The settlers (declared) their independence from Mexico and formed the Republic of Texas. The Mexican army of General Santa Anna defeated the (rebels) at the Alamo on March 6, 1836. But with the spirit of the battle cry “Remember the Alamo,” Sam Houston and the Texas won a battle at Sam Jacinto on April 21. They (signed) a peace treaty with Mexican leaders and (elected) Houston President of the “Lone Star Republic.”The Republic of Texas did not becomepart (of) the United States for nine years because most northerners opposed the annexation (合并) of another slave state.。

No other animal has a complex symbolic language that must be learned. Animal language is largely instinctive, 1 basic human language is learned speech, composed of sounds that symbolize things, ideas, actions, and the like.We learn to read, often with considerable effort, by noticing or 2 taught that groups of letters stand for the sounds that we already know how to speak. We learn to write, with even __3 effort, by learning to form the letters, 4 are symbols of sounds, and to put them together on paper so that others can read what we “say”.Since human language is a form of human behavior, there is nothing absolute about it.

But if people read correctly the signs around them, they can tell 1 the weather will be like the following day or two.For many centuries people have studied the weather and tried to 2 weather forecasting. Sometimes distant objects such as hills and tall trees don’t seem to be very clear. This is 3 of much water vapour in the air and therefore rain will probably come.If some birds fly high, fine weather is coming, but if they fly near the ground, rainy or stormy weather is on the way. It is probably because of the insects which they are hunting 4__ they fly very low.If a fog appears in the morning just about sunrise, then the day will be warm. Instead, if a fog appears in the evening, the next day will bring wet weather. If the sunset is mostly red in color, then the following day will be fine.

Foreign travel can be very educational for anyone if he is interested enough to make preparations beforehand. Learning the language of the new country would be difficult for the traveler, 1 the benefits of such an effort would become obvious immediately on his arrival. It may not seem important to him when he comfortably stays at home, but knowing how to 2__ a meal or book a room is necessary for the newcomer in a strange country. Without knowing the language, it is very difficult 3 the stranger to understand the people of the new country and their customs.Of course, in our small world it is often possible to find someone 4 understands our own, but this is only second–best for the traveler. To be sure, he can see places and things without the use of a language, but places and things are not the heart of any country. To get the greatest benefit from a trip 5 another country, it is how important for the visitor to have an understanding of the language.1. A. to B. but C. order D. for E. who2.

完型填空第一题:Many people would agree that stress is a major problem in modern life. It is certainly true that worry and quarrel can cause all kinds of illnesses, 1 backache to severe headaches, or even more serious complaints such as high blood pressure.Many of us think 2 stress as something that other people impose on us. We often complain about how other people put us 3 pressure. But we should try not to let such pressure affect us. We should not forget that we are largely responsible for some of the stress ourselves. We sometimes take 4 more work than our bodies and our minds can handle. We should learn to 5 our limitations. We should be aware of which things are really important and which are not.(1)A:ofB:underC:acceptD:fromE:on答案:D(2)A:ofB:underC:acceptD:fromE:on答案:A(3)A:ofB:underC:acceptD:fromE:on答案:BA:ofB:underC:acceptD:fromE:on答案:E(5)A:ofB:underC:acceptD:fromE:on答案:C第二题:Modern zoos are very different from zoos that were built fifty years ago. At that time, zoos were places 1 people could go to see animals from many parts of the world. The animals lived in cages that were made 2 concrete with iron bars, cages that were easy to keep clean.Unfortunately for the animals, the cages were small and impossible to hide in. The zoo environment was anything but natural. 3 the zoo keepers took good care of the animals and fed them well, many of the animals did not thrive; they behaved in strange ways, and they often became ill.In modern zoos, people can see animals in more natural habitats. The animals are given more 4 in large areas so that they can live more comfortably as they would in nature. Even the appearance of zoos has changed. Trees and grass grow in the cages, and streams of water flow 5 the areas that animals live in.(1)A:ofB:AlthoughC:whereD:overE:freedom答案:CA:ofB:AlthoughC:whereD:overE:freedom答案:A(3)A:ofB:AlthoughC:whereD:overE:freedom答案:B(4)A:ofB:AlthoughC:whereD:overE:freedom答案:E(5)A:ofB:AlthoughC:whereD:overE:freedom答案:D第三题:The world is not only hungry; it is also thirsty for water. This may seem strange to you, since nearly 75% of the earth's surface is covered with water. But about 97% of this huge amount is seawater, 1 salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3% of the fresh water that comes from rivers, lakes, underground, and other2 .And we can't even use all of that, because some of it is in the form of icebergs and glaciers. Even worse, some of it has been polluted.However, as things stand today, this small amount of fresh water,which is constantly being replaced by rainfall, is still enough for us. But our need 3 water is increasing rapidly - almost day by day. We all have to learn how to stop wasting our previous water. One of the first steps we should 4 is to develop ways of reusing it.Experiments have already been done in this 5 , but only on a small scale. The systems that have been worked out resemble those used in spacecraft.(1)A:takeB:orC:sourcesD:forE:case答案:B(2)A:takeB:orC:sourcesD:forE:case答案:C(3)A:takeB:orC:sourcesD:forE:case答案:D(4)A:takeC:sourcesD:forE:case答案:A(5)A:takeB:orC:sourcesD:forE:case答案:E第四题:Man can't go on increasing his number at the present rate. In the next 30 years man will face a period of crisis. 1 experts believe that there will be a widespread food shortage.

Not to make me happy, but so that you have your own money and gain a bit more responsibility." So last year I got a job working about 25 hours a week. For $5 an hour, working as a salesman in a photo studio.After I got this 1 , I had to do football, homework and job at the same time. It was really hard for me. I was burning out, falling asleep at school and failing 2 many courses. My teachers were mad at me and yelled at me: why have a job? I missed a lot practice in football team and could only 3 back down at the match. My coach was cold at me with an unasked question : why have a job? I told them it was for the things I need, when actually it was for the things I wanted. Needing and wanting are different. Needing something is like your only shoes have holes in them. But wanting is to have every new brand sneaker just because you 4 it. I start to think about if I did a wrong thing. Slowly, I learnt to manage my money better so that I could have more time for school and football. I learnt to make a wise 5 on what I need and what I want.(1)、A:decisionB:likeC:sitD:inE:job答案:E(2)、A:decisionB:likeC:sitD:inE:job答案:D(3)、A:decisionB:likeC:sitD:inE:job答案:C(4)、A:decisionB:likeC:sitD:inE:job答案:B(5)、A:decisionB:likeC:sitD:inE:job答案:A阅读理解143、People have been talking about health for a long time because people know the importance of it. People's understanding of health also becomes deeper with the progress in scientific research. Recently the term "health" has come to have a wider meaning than it used to. It no longer means just the absence of illness. Today, health means the well-being of your body, your mind and your relationship with other people. This new concept of health is closely related to another term-quality of life. Quality of life is the degree of overall satisfaction that a person gets from life.Why has the emphasis of health shifted from the absence of disease to a broader focus on the quality of a person's life? One reason for this has to do with the length and conditions of life that people can now expect. Medical advances have made it possible for people today to live longer, healthier lives. Imagine for a moment that you were born in the year 1900. You could have expected on average to live until about the age of 47. In contrast, if you were born in the year 1999, you could expect to live to the age of 75.(1)、Progress in scientific research leads to people's deeper understanding of health. ___________A:TB:F答案:A(2)、According to the passage, to people of today, health means absence of illness. ___________ A:TB:F答案:B(3)、The emphasis of health has shifted nowadays because people enjoy better conditions of living and they can live longer. ___________A:TB:F答案:A(4)、We can infer from the passage nowadays the emphasis of health has a broader focus becauseof improvements in the quality of food. ___________A:TB:F答案:B(5)、This passage is mainly about different understandings of the term "health".___________ A:TB:F答案:A44、Man has always wanted to fly. Some of the greatest men in history had thought about the problem. One of them, for example, was the great Italian artist, Leonardo Da Vinci. In the sixteenth century he made designs for machines that would fly, but they were never built. Throughout history, other less famous men had wanted to fly. An example was a man in England 800 years ago. He made a pair of wings from chicken feathers. Then he fixed them to his body and jumped into air from a tall building. He did not fly very far. Instead, he fell to the ground and broke every bone in his body.The first real steps took place in France, in 1783. Two brothers, the Montgolfiers, made a very large "hot air balloon". They knew that hot air rises. Why not fill a balloon with it? The balloon was made of cloth and paper. In September of that year, the King and Queen of France came to see the balloon. They watched it carry the very first air passengers into the sky. The passengers were a sheep and a chicken. We do not know how they felt about the trip. But we do know that the trip lasted eight minutes and that the animals landed safely. Two months later, two men did the same thing. They rose above Paris in a balloon of the same kind. Their trip lasted twenty-five minutes and they traveled about eight kilometers.(1)、Leonardo Da Vinci made designs for flying machines. ___________A:TB:F答案:A(2)、Eight hundred years ago an Englishman made a kind of flying machine. ___________A:TB:F答案:B(3)、In fact, the Englishman who tried to fly lost his life. ___________A:TB:F答案:A(4)、The very first air passengers in the balloon were two Frenchmen. ___________A:TB:F答案:B全套完整新版题库,全中文翻译,群内考前突击,提供简化版,提供作文辅助输入工具,全程免费答疑。

参加考试需要的是“硬”道理。

让应试教育尽快见鬼去吧……Passage 1No one is glad to hear that his body has to be cut open by a surgeon(外科医生)and part of it taken out.Today,however,we needn't worry about feeling pain during the operation.The sick person falls into a kind of sleep,and when he awakes,the operation is finished.But these happy conditions are fairly new.It is not many years since a man who had to have operation felt all its pain.Long ago,operation had usually to be done while the sick man could feel everything.The sick man had to be held down on a table by force while the doctors did their best for him.He could feel all the pain if his leg or arm was being cut off,and his fearful cries filled the room and the hearts of those who watched.Soon after 1770,Josept Priestley discovered a gas which is now called “laughing gas”.Laughing gas became known in America.Y oung men and women went to parties to try it.Most of them spent their time laughing,but one man at a party,Horace Wells,noticed that people didn't seem to feel pain when they were using this gas.He decided to make an experiment on himself.He asked a friend to help him.Wells took some of the gas,and his friend pulled out one of Well's teeth.Wells felt no pain at all.As he didn't know enough about laughing gas,he gave a man less gas than he should have.The man cried out with pain when his tooth was being pulled out.Wells tried again,but this time he gave too much of the gas,and the man died.Wells never forgot this terrible event.1.It is ____since a man being operated felt all the pain.A.a few more years B.not longC.few years D.two thousand years2.Long ago,when the sick man was operated on,he ____.A.could feel nothing B.could not want anythingC.could feel all the pain D.could do anything3.Using the laughing gas,the people did not seem to ____.A.be afraid of anything B.feel painC.want to go to the parties D.be ill4.If a man took less laughing gas than he should have when an operation went on, he __.A.felt nothing B.felt very comfortable(舒服的)C.still felt pain D.would die5.One who took too much of the laughing gas ___.A.would laugh all the time B.would dieC.would never feel pain D.would be very calm参考答案:CBCBPassage 2Modern zoos are very different from zoos that were built fifty years ago. At that time, zoos were places where people could go to see animals from many parts of the world. The animals lived in cages that were made of concrete (混凝土) with iron bars, cages that were easy to keep clean. Unfortunately for animals, the cages were small and impossible to hide in. The zoo environment was anything but natural. Although the zoo keepers took good care of the animals and fed them well, many of the animals did not thrive (茁壮成长) ; They behaved in strange ways, and they often became ill. In modern zoos, people can see animals in more natural habitats (家园).The animal was given more freedom in large areas so that they can live as they would in nature. Even the appearance of zoos has changed. Trees and grass grow in the cages, and streams of water flow through the areas that the animals live in. There are few bars; there is often only a deep ditch (沟渠), filled with water, surrounding an area where several species of animals live together as they would naturally.注:本段文字很方便设计完形填空题目,可以让学生认真阅读熟悉其内容。

What I did have was a friend who found me in my room in a New Y ork department building. I didn’t even care that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used typewriter and felt like a good writer.After a year I still hadn’t got a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard tosell a story that I hardly made enough to eat.But I knew 1 wanted to write.I had dreamed about it for years.I wasn't going to be one of those people who did wondering “What if”.
