Zoo Awareness Day is a day 8 people question the place and value of
zoos in the twenty-first century. It is organized by the Captive Animals’ Protection
Society, which says zoos are mainly for tourism rather than protecting animals. Even
though many zoos promote 9 (they) as places of education, conservation and
research, they are really just a tourist attraction. Zoo Awareness Day is to make people
aware that animals in zoos suffer from physical and psychological problems because
they are in cages. The protection of 10 (nature) habitats is the only way to
prevent further species decline.

But after lunch, Billy came back to Snyder’s room crying. Some girls at the lunch
table next to Billy’s had made fun of the 14 on his shirt. Billy was depressed.

fanciest one, but this kid used the resources he had 16 to him to participate

wanted to wear it, his jaw 27 ,” Snyder wrote. “He had a big smile on his
face, walked taller, and I could tell his 28 grew today! Thank you to the

John Harrison has an enviable job in most people’s opinion. He’s the official taster
for Dreyer’s Grand Ice Cream, one of the best-selling ice-cream brands in the U.S.A.
On an average day, Harrison has to sample sixty ice creams at the Dreyer’s
headquarters. When he isn’t doing that, he travels all over the country, buying Dreyer’s
ice cream in supermarkets so that he can carry out spot checks for appearance and
flavor. But, no matter how wonderful this job may sound, it is actually quite tough. It’s 英语 第 7 页(共 13 页)
difficult work, requiring discipline, selflessness, and thorough preparation.
Before tasting a sample, Harrison uses his eyes first. If the ice cream doesn’t look
attractive, he skips it. Then, he uses a gold spoon instead of one made of wood, plastic,
or other metals. This is because regular spoons leave an aftertaste that can dull the taste
buds(味蕾). In addition, the temperature of the ice cream may also influence the taster’s
taste buds.
When Harrison samples ice cream, he first takes only a small bite of the ice cream,
swishes it around in his mouth to introduce it to each of his taste buds, lightly licks his
lips, and then gently breathes in so as to bring the smell up through the back of his
mouth to his nose. With each step, he carefully sizes up whether the ice cream conveys
the ideal balance between dairy sweetness and the flavor of the added ingredients. And
last of all, no matter what the ice cream tastes like, he spits( 吐 ) it out, since a full
stomach makes for a dull palate(迟钝的味觉).
For Harrison, keeping a sharp palate means no onions, garlic, or cayenne pepper.
He also doesn’t have any coffee or tea, since these block the taste buds. But to him, this
is just a small price to pay for what he calls “the world’s best job” .
Harrison’s family has been in the ice-cream business for four generations, and
Harrison himself has spent almost his whole life in it as well. Yet, he has never lost his
love of the cold, creamy sweetness. He orders ice cream in restaurants for dessert, even
when he’s not at work. On these occasions, he swallows the ice cream, taking in about a
liter a week. Though he has gained some weight over the years he’s been with Dreyer’s,
he couldn’t care less. “Who would trust a skinny ice-cream taster?” he jokes.
34. What is forbidden in Harrison’s job?
A. Doing shopping. B. Eating the ice cream.
C. Using gold spoons. D. Skipping the ice scream.
35. What can we learn about Harrison?
A. He learned his work skills from his family.
B. His job affects his appetite for the ice cream. 英语 第 8 页(共 13 页)
C. He is willing to give up something for his job.
D. He has to gain some weight to meet the need of work.
36. What does Harrison think of his job?
A. Creative. B. Ordinary.
C. High-paying. D. Proud.
37. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To describe Harrison’s job and how he does it.
B. To analyze the reasons why Harrison chose his job.
C. To make suggestions on how to apply for popular careers.
D. To introduce the advantages of working for a best-selling brand.

In 2012, James Cameron, creator of Avatar and Titanic, became the first person to
reach the Challenger Deep. When he arrived at the deepest spot on Earth at 7 miles
below sea level, he spent hours mapping the region and taking photos and samples.
“As human beings, we’re drawn to absolutes—the deepest, the highest, the coldest,
the farthest,” he says. “And as a storyteller and curious monkey, I just wanted to see
what was there.” The answer is obvious—plastic and more. “Our so-called civilization
is using the ocean as its toilet,” Cameron says. “Unless this changes, ocean ecosystems
are going to continue their rapid collapse.”
Despite decades of environmental studies, the impact of plastic and other forms of
pollution on oceans are not entirely understood. Initial studies appear to indicate that
ingesting(摄取) them—either directly or indirectly—could cause disease. Plastics can
also release poisonous substances into the water, which could potentially impact animal
populations.
But plastic is just one of the problems facing oceans that have yet to be fully
understood. “Plastic waste in the ocean is horrifying but is only the most obvious of our
many deadly waste streams, which include carbon that’s heating the atmosphere and 英语 第 9 页(共 13 页)
making the ocean acidic, and the run-off nutrients from all the world’s agriculture,
which is causing anoxic(缺氧的) dead zones the size of countries,” Cameron says.
Oceans, like the rest of the world, are impacted by the burning of fossil fuels and
the release of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide—about 30 percent of which is
absorbed by the sea. This absorption causes ocean acidification, where the pH level is
altered to become more acidic. As a result, it’s harder for some creatures to form shells
and skeletons and countless species at the base of the food web can struggle to survive,
which, scientists say, has the potential to cause huge disruptions to entire ecosystems.
Indeed, ocean acidification is thought to have played an important role in Earth’s
worst-ever mass extinction event 252 million years ago.
The effect of climate change on the world’s oceans will likely worsen in coming
decades. Last June, scientists announced carbon dioxide levels had reached the highest
levels since human records began. The last time carbon dioxide levels were this high
was during the Pliocene era, between 3 and 5 million years ago, when global
temperatures were about 4 degrees Celsius warmer than they are today. Current climate
models suggest that if greenhouse gas emissions continue on their current trend, we may
be on course to see 4 degrees of warming by 2100.
As a result, understanding the role oceans have on global systems is becoming
more and more important.
38. What are the first two paragraphs mainly about?
A. The author’s feelings to the ocean. B. Cameron’s movies and remarks.
C. The author’s discoveries under the sea. D. Cameron’s observation and concern.
39. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Several countries are suffering from anoxic dead zones.
B. More concern should have been given to the pollution on oceans.
C. Plastic is supposed to be the most serious environmental problem.
D. Ocean acidification removes the nutrients from agricultural products.
40. What does the underlined word “disruptions” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?英语 第 10 页(共 13 页)
A. Decreases. B. Destruction. C. Diseases. D. Discrimination.
41. Why does the author mention the mass extinction event 252 million years ago?
A. To call on people to protect sea animals.
B. To compare current situations with the past.
C. To explain how serious the ocean problem is.
D. To prove pollution to be the cause of acidification.

As we prepare learners with the skills needed for the 21st century, there is a greater
desire to further integrate technology into our classrooms. Whether it’s a K-12 or
college classroom, it’s rare to find an environment that does not integrate technology in
some form or another. In some cases, online learning has replaced the physical
classroom altogether. As educators, we owe it to ourselves and our students to use these
benefits. However, while technology offers significant advantages, simply integrating it
as an alternative source of delivery or as another means for students to demonstrate their
comprehension is not an effective practice.
We must remind ourselves that any form of learning technology should also be
guided. These resources are just instruments and require high-quality guided practice
from instructors. These instruments, combined with guidance, can afford good
instruction, practice and motivation. While technology can positively impact learning
outcomes, it may be even more effective for some students if it’s instructor-led and
integrated into a well-designed curriculum(课程).
Technology is rapidly changing the educational environment and challenging
students to adapt accordingly. It can frustrate students of different generations
struggling to learn how to use a learning platform in addition to picking up the actual
subject. Some may wonder, “Why should I waste time learning how to create a
podcast(播客) when I could simply write the paper?”
It’s a reasonable question. We must not assume students who were raised using
technology are always comfortable learning with these tools. A study found that
because of tools some students may not have experience using, they may need more 英语 第 11 页(共 13 页)
direction on how to apply these tools. Students may struggle if an instructor neglects to
teach the conceptual basis of the tools. Technology may mean little without appropriate
objectives and goals for its use, structures for its application, and trained deliverers.
Educators are also tasked with providing students the skills they need to flourish in
a highly competitive and technologically-based workplace. Many of the skills obtained
through online classes are valuable professional skills. Students taught how to use
multiple learning technologies effectively have a competitive advantage over those who
are simply using technology as a method of delivery in the online classroom.
Regardless of the subjects we teach, integrating technology gives our students the
opportunity to not only learn the content, but also to develop skills useful beyond our
classrooms. Technology, when integrated and balanced appropriately with the
curriculum and with student needs, can make us more effective as educators.
42. What is important to the learning technology?
A. Instruction and revision. B. Comprehension and application.
C. Guidance and arrangements. D. Diversity and flexibility.
43. According to the passage, what should an educator do?
A. Arrange online assignment for students.
B. Help students master online technology.
C. Prepare students with rules in the workplace.
D. Notify students of the value of the learning tool.
44. What’s the author’s attitude toward learning technology?
A. Critical. B. Unconcerned. C. Wait-and-see. D. Approving.
45. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Does Technology Boost Educational Effectiveness?
B. Is the Learning Technology a Tool or an Opportunity?
C. Can Technology Put an End to Traditional Classrooms?
D. Does the Learning Skill Outweigh the Learning Content? 英语 第 12 页(共 13 页)

The Internet is the largest library in the history of the world and a great resource for
anyone seeking information. 46 In recent years, plagiarism from online sources
has become a serious problem, especially among students.
Original written work and information are protected by copyright laws. Therefore,
when you use information you find while doing research, you should always give credit
to the person that produced it. To plagiarize is to use ideas that are not your own
without giving credit to the original source, or to claim that someone else’s ideas are
your own. This is a dishonest practice.
Internet-related plagiarism has become such a problem. 47 There are
thousands of resources for students who wish only to copy or cheat. However, the
Internet also makes it easier for educators to check for plagiarism. Often a simple
Internet search for a quote will be enough to expose copying. 48 Because
copying and pasting( 粘 贴 ) is so easy, it is becoming more and more common for
well-meaning students to mix up source material with their original ideas. While
unintended plagiarism usually happens innocently, it is still a mistake.
49 Usually, the first step of researching is to gather information. You’d
better keep a computer document named “References” where you can keep useful
information you search on the Internet. Copy and paste the material directly from the
document. When you print out parts of the article from the document, print the first
page of the article. 50 These will help you remember the source of the
information. Then print pages that have the information you need. After you finish your
assignment, in the same way that you review your work for clarity and mistakes, you
need to check that you have matched the quoted information with the correct source.
Following these tips, you will avoid mixing up source material with your ideas.
A. It lists details like the name of writer and publication.英语 第 13 页(共 13 页)
B. But doing research on the Internet is not without its risks.
C. This is because it is so easy to find and copy information online.
D. Some educators are more concerned about unintended plagiarism.
E. In addition to dishonesty, plagiarism is a lost opportunity for students.
F. To avoid unintended plagiarizing, managing your sources becomes important.
G. If you use ideas from other writers without quoting from the original work, you’re
plagiarizing.

One possible version:
Dear Jim,
I’m so glad that you’re interested in Chinese poetry! The poem you read was written by Li Bai,
one of the greatest poets of the Tang Dynasty. It describes a scene when the poet saw off his friend at
Yellow Crane Tower for his journey to Yangzhou. It was the third month by lunar calendar, when all
the flowers were in full bloom in spring. What a vivid picture of the beautiful spring scenery! This is
the power of Chinese poetry.
I believe you will have a further understanding after you read more Chinese poems.
It is spring right now. Just as described in the poem, there are so many places in China that
deserve a visit. For example, the city of Wuhan, where Yellow Crane Tower is located, is exactly a
place suitable for a spring tour. As the capital city of Hubei Province in central China, Wuhan is in its 英语 第 17 页(共 13 页)
most beautiful season now. Blooming flowers and the countless historical sites are indeed a feast to the
eye!
I hope we can tour the city together in the near future!
Yours,
Li Hua
