    Zoos have been around for centuries—and they’ve changed a lot over the years. In the Middle Ages, wealthy people kept animals in their gardens. Public animal parks appeared in European cities in the late 1700s and early 1800s. The Philadelphia Zoo, the first in the United states, opened in 1874.

    Until a few decades ago, most zoos were organized by creatures—monkeys in one area, cats in another, birds somewhere else, just like museum collections. In recent years, zoos have instead begun grouping animals that would normally interact in the wild. Moreover, instead of closing animals behind bars, designers are creating landscapes like the environments in which these creatures would naturally be found. Nearby signs provide information about the animals and their habitats in parts of the world where they normally live.

    The Denver Zoo’s new Predator Ridge exhibit, for example, aims to teach visitors about Africa. Eight acres of land provide homes for 14animal species, including lions, porcupines, cranes, and wild dogs. Plants from the region grow alongside African-like landform. Ten-foot-tall mounds (土墩) give lions a place from which to survey their surroundings, just as they would do in the wild.

    Landscape design makes visitors to the Denver Zoos Predator Ridge exhibit feel like they’re really in Africa.

    Animals in Predator Ridge can’t actually be mixed with one another, for safety reasons. But hidden deep channels and other smart features allow visitors to see all the animals at once. Different species can see each other too.

61. What is the passage mainly about?

  A. The safety problem of zoos.                  B. The living habits of zoo animals.

  A. b; d; c; a      B. d; a; c; b       C. b; d; a; c      D. d; b; a; c

63. In the Denver Zoo ten-foot-tall mounds are built to ____________.

  A. protect the safety of visitors          B. create a natural environment for lions.

For the past six weeks I have been having online writing classes. I had never taken an online class before, so I did not know what to expect. Now I am about halfway through the courses, and I am doing three courses, where I am practicing writing.

     These creative writing classes have been somewhat similar to those I took in a middle school. There are weekly readings where we have to discuss our thoughts, and we comment on each other’s work. But there are some differences. In my middle school, I had one novel writing class where we all sat in a circle twice a week and discussed each other’s work. Each person had a copy of the story but the author of the story was always anonymous(匿名的). This allowed people to give honest opinions since there was no face to connect to the story.

    The creative article course is held in a computer lab and all of our work is done online. Every week, two people read their stories aloud to the class, and then we spend a few minutes discussing them, and then post comments on the online discussion board. Still, the main benefit of an online class is that I can choose when to turn in my homework. This allows me to choose how to manage my time.

    I think taking three creative writing courses at one time may have been a little too ambitious, but I am studying a variety of writing styles and I think I am becoming a better writer for it.

56. How long do the online writing classes that the author is taking last for in total?

A. About twelve weeks.               B. About two months

C. About six months.                  D. About six weeks

57. What do the author’s online classes and school classes have in common?

A. Students have classes in a computer lab.

B. Students sit in a circle twice a week.

C. Students write novels every day.

D. Students discuss their reading every week.

58. Why was the author of the story anonymous during the discussion?

A. Because students didn’t want their work popular.

B. Because in this way students could express their real ideas freely.

C. Because students didn’t know each other at all.

D. Because it took students less time to finish the discussion.

59. What is the main advantage of taking online writing classes?

A. Students needn’t have face-to-face talks.

B. Students can hand in their homework late.

C. Students can arrange their time as their like.

D. Students needn’t do any homework.

60. What’s the author’s attitude towards the online writing classes?

   A. Doubtful   B. Appreciative    C. Unacceptable   D. Easy

Last Friday, at least 5 people were killed by lightning in Nepal.

    Lightning strikes are the second most common cause of deaths during natural disasters in the US. The first is floods. Around 400 people nationwide are struck by lightning each year, and of those, 70 people die. That is, more people are killed by lightning than by tornadoes and hurricanes.

    Because lightning kills only one or two people at a time, its danger does not receive as much attention as other disasters.

   "If you hear the thunder, you are in danger from lightning," said Rocky Lopes, a disaster educator at the American Red Cross.

   "Thunder means that lightning is close enough to hit you at any time, so you should move indoors immediately and stay there until the storm has ended. The most important thing to remember is to seek shelter, " Lopes said.

   Summer is the peak time for lightning storms, so when lightning strikes across the sky, remember these safety tips:

   ♦ Stop working, fishing, swimming or playing in open fields.

   ♦ Do not stand under a tree.

   ♦ Get off bicycle and motorcycles.

   ♦ Crouch down (蹲下) if there is no shelter.

   ♦ Avoid open spaces, wire fences, metal objects and electrical objects such as hair driers. 

51.   In the US, _________ is the most common cause of deaths during natural disasters.

   A. lightning      B. tornadoes      C. hurricanes       D. floods

52.   Of the people who are struck by lightning every year in the US, about _________ people are lucky enough to survive.

   A. 400       B. 70        C. 330        D. 5

53.   If you hear the thunder, the most important thing you should do is to __________.

   A. stand still in the open spaces        B. find shelter to hide in

   C. stand under the tree               D. stop working in the fields

54.   Which of the following is NOT true?

   A. Floods are the most common cause of deaths in the US.

   B. Less than 70 people are killed by tornadoes and hurricanes each year in the US.

   C. People don't pay as much attention to the danger of hurricanes as that of floods.

   D. If you hear the thunder, you should move indoors right away.

55.   Which of the following is the best title?

   A. The Danger of Lightning          B. Some Safety Tips against Floods

   C. How Lightning Happens          D. 5 People Killed by Lightning in Nepal

I was telling my boy Sonny the story of the hare and the tortoise. At the end I said, “ Son, remember: Be slow and steady, and that will win the race. Don’t you think there’s something to learn from the tortoise?”

Sonny opened his eyes wide, “Do you mean next time when I’m entering for the 60-metre race I should wish that Billy, Tony and Sandy would all fall asleep halfway?”

I was shocked, “But the tortoise didn’t wish that the hare would fall asleep!”

“He must have wished that,” Sonny said, “Otherwise how could he be so foolish as to race with the hare? He knew very well the hare ran a hundred times faster than he himself did.”

“He didn’t have such a wish,” I insisted. “He won the race by perseverance (堅忍不拔的), by pushing on steadily.”

Sonny thought a while. “That’s a lie,” he said. “He won it because he was lucky. If the hare hadn’t happened to fall asleep, the tortoise would never have won the race. He could be as steady as you like, or a hundred times steadier, but he’d never have won the race. That’s for sure.”

I gave up. Today’s children are not like what we used to be. They’re just hopeless.

48. Billy, Tony and Sandy must be_______________.

   A. boys who were unknown to Sonny’s father

Whenever we hear about “the homeless”, most of us think of the developing world. But the 31 is that homelessness is everywhere. For example, how many of us would expect to see people living on the streets of a 32_ country like Germany?
