第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分50分)
第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Years ago, many zoos kept all kinds of animals in small cages. Small cages made it easy for
people to see the animals, but a small cage is not a good place for an animal to live in.
Today zoos keep animals in different kinds of cages. The cages are very big and open. They usually have plants and a little lake. The cages look like the animals' habitats (栖息地)．
Zoos help to protect all kinds of animals.They protect animals in the zoo and they protect animals in the wild. How do they do this? Zoos teach people how animals live in the wild. Zoos want people to help protect the animals' wild habitats.
Many plants and animals are going extinct. Mammoths, which are related with Asia elephants, are now extinct. There are no mammoths in the world today. Scientists say that seventyfour different kinds of living things go extinct every day!
Zoos are working together to stop animals from going extinct.
21．Zoos kept animals in small cages so that people can ________.
A．protect them B．see them better
C．feed them D．save them
22．Today, zoos keep animals ________.
A．in bigger cages B．in the wild
C．in smaller cages D．in the field
23．An animal or a plant that is going extinct ________.
A．no longer exists (存在) in the world
B．comes into this world soon
C．becomes very dangerous
D．has fewer and fewer living members
B
Scientists have recently discovered that animals that live in groups, such as elephants, foxes, and wolves, are more likely to follow rules. If they don't, and each does its own thing, the group will probably break apart. Group members would be forced to live alone, and would have a harder time hunting and raising their young. That's probably why a traveling wolf pack was seen stopping and waiting for its limping (跛行的) leader to catch up. Similar social ties are believed to be responsible for an elephant saving her friend from drowning.
Sometimes, though, animals try their best to do what's right, even when there's nothing in it for them. Nobody knows exactly why. “It might simply feel good to be kind, just as it does for humans.” says Bekoff. If your friend wasn't nice to you, what would you do? Maybe you would just walk away. That's exactly what a wild red fox did when she was playing boxing with another fox.
Toby was a generous cat. For ten years, the kind kitty shared his food with a spaniel (长耳狗) named Katie. After supper, owner Linda Gustafson always divided the food. She'd drop some in Katie's bowl on the floor and some in Toby's dish on the kitchen counter. Gustafson kept the cat's dish up high to keep Katie from stealing Toby's treats. As it turned out, Katie didn't need to steal; she only had to beg. Every night, the spaniel ate her food in a few seconds. Then she'd sit and stare at the cat and every night, Toby would be nice. Using his paw, he'd get several pieces of tasty food down to the waiting dog. Apparently, Katie appreciated it, because whenever she was curled up in her beanbag bed and the cat walked over, she would give up her nice, warm spot. “Toby would then lie down in the center of the beanbag，” says Gustafson, “and Katie would lie on the floor.”
24．The reason why some animals prefer to live in groups lies in that ________.
A．they have to follow natural rules
B．they are afraid of staying alone
C．they cannot find food by themselves
D．living alone would make their lives harder
25．According to Bekoff, animals try their best to do what's right because ________.
A．it feels good to be kind
B．animals are friendly by nature
C．they have learned to do so for a long time
D．they want their owners to like them
26．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ________________________________________________________________________.
A．Linda always lets the animals eat together
B．Katie sometimes gets her food by stealing
C．Toby is generous but Katie isn't
D．Katie and Toby help each other
27．The passage mainly tells us that ________.
A．we should protect animals and live with them peacefully
B. animals，like humans，can be connected by friendly social ties
C. rules only exist in human societies and not in animal societies
D. animals will make the world more beautiful and peaceful
C
Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years，but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going.When the world was still populated by huntergatherers，small，tightly knit (联系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other.Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago，when the world had just five to ten million people，they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.
Soon afterwards，many of those people started settling down to become farmers，and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number.In recent centuries，trade，industrialisation，the development of the nationstate and the spread of universal compulsory education，especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades，all have caused many languages to disappear，and dominant languages such as English，Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.
At present，the world has about 6,800 languages.The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven.The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages，often spoken by many people，while hot，wet zones have lots，often spoken by small numbers.Europe has only around 200 languages；the Americas about 1,000；Africa 2,400；and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200，of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800.The median number (中位数) of speakers is a mere 6,000，which means that half the world's languages are spoken by fewer people than that.
Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are close to extinction (消亡)，with only a few elderly speakers left.Pick，at random，Busuu in Cameroon(eight remaining speakers)，Chiapaneco in Mexico (150)，Lipan Apache in the United States (two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one，with a questionmark)：none of these seems to have much chance of survival.
28．What can we infer about languages in huntergatherer times?
A．They developed very fast.
B．They were large in number.
C．They had similar patterns.
D．They were closely connected.
29．Which of the following best explains “dominant” underlined in paragraph 2?
A．Complex. B．Advanced.
C．Powerful. D．Modern.
30．How many languages are spoken by less than 6,000 people at present?
A．About 6,800. B．About 3,400.
C．About 2,400. D．About 1,200.
31．What is the main idea of the text?
A．New languages will be created.
B．People's lifestyles are reflected in languages.
C．Human development results in fewer languages.
D．Geography determines language evolution.
D
As scientists in the Netherlands tried to figure out how to build a super flying robot, they learned from one of nature's flyers: the humble fruit fly. And by building this robot, they've gained new understanding of how the fly carries out one of its dangerous tasks.
The robot is called the DelFly Nimble. Its wingspan (翼展) is about a foot wide. It has four wings that can beat at 17 times per second, which appear very delicate because they're made of the same material as space blankets.
“In previous designs, they always had a tail, like a traditional airplane tail，” said the robot's main designer Matej Karasek. He's based at the Micro Air Vehicle Laboratory at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands, and he and his colleagues published their findings on Thursday in Science.
“In previous generations，” he said, “flapping wings drove the robot forward while the tail helped to guide and stabilise (稳定) it. But now the DelFly Nimble is completely controlled by the wings.” “The challenge then was actually combining the control into the wing movement, and that's what we achieved，” Karasek said.
“In the latest generation, the wings can each move individually or rotate (旋转) around the body of the robot. The robot can remain in one place in the air for about five minutes on a full battery or fly for more than a kilometre，” Karasek said, “and because the scientists are controlling all the movements, they can use the robot to learn more about how fruit flies actually carry out their dangerous tasks, which has caught the attention of biologists. ”
32．Where did scientists get the creative idea of the flying robot?
A．From a fruit fly. B．From the birds' wings.
C．From some fruit. D．From an airplane.
33．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 probably refer to?
A．A full battery. B．A flapping wing.
C．The DelFly Nimble. D．The humble fruit fly.
34．What interests biologists most about fruit flies?
A．That they are very tiny insects.
B．How they conduct challenging tasks.
C．Why they can be easily found in the world.
D．That they have light wings and fly quickly.
35．Where is the text probably taken from?
A．A research paper. B．A travel brochure.
C．A health magazine. D．A chemistry textbook.

In February, 2005, my uncle Phillip was teaching his seventhgrade students a poem called Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening. He liked the poem very much, so he recorded it on his home answering machine. When Phillip and his family returned home from their vacation, he listened to his voice messages. One old man said he dialed the wrong number. But, he added, he'd really enjoyed the poem. A few days later, that old man called. He said that he wanted to hear the poem again. The two men talked. John, now 73, who used to be a doctor, lived in another state. It turned out that his brother's number was almost the same as my uncle's. That was 13 years ago. They've spoken on the phone a few times a month ever since. They haven't gone to a game together or had a cup of coffee together. Their friendship is just to pick up the phone. And to them their best friend is someone they've never met.

Dear Michael，
I'm faced with some learning problems with English, so I'm writing an email to ask you for help.
With the increasing vocabulary in the textbook, I find it difficult to memorise all the new words and understand the passages. Besides, the grammar seems to be another big trouble for me. Those are also the reasons why I can neither do well in writing nor express myself properly when speaking.
Would you please be kind enough to offer me some advice?
Yours，
Li Hua
