21、Last Sunday the elephant keeper at London Zoo, Jim Robson, was killed by one of the elephants he loved. This was terrible, and it could be a big problem for the future of London Zoo-and maybe for all of Britain's city zoos. London Zoo said that it would move its three elephants to a wild animal park outside London. Its director-general, Michael Dixon, said, “We are sorry that the elephants are leaving. There have been elephants at London Zoo since 1831.”
London Zoo is not only losing its elephants. The tigers will also leave soon and most of the bears have already gone. Outside the elephant house at London Zoo, a woman called Mary said she hoped the zoo could keep big animals. “This is the only way the young people can see animals without travelling to other countries,” she said.
Zoos are not very good places for animals, but they can help to keep them well. Children can also learn a lot about the animals when they visit zoos.
Another visitor, a man called Alan, was very angry. “If we send them back to the wild they will die. If you take away big animals, people will stop visiting London Zoo. It can survive at the moment, but it won't survive in the future.”
However, Mary Rosevear, director of the Federation of Zoos, believes that city zoos can survive without keeping large animals.
【1】London Zoo has kept elephants ________.
A．since last Sunday
B．for about one hundred years
C．for nearly two hundred years
D．ever since it was built
【2】Zoos are important because ________.
A．they can make a lot of money
B．there are many animals living in them
C．there are some big animals there
D．they can keep animals and help children learn about them
【3】London Zoo might face a big problem because ________.
A．the elephants in the zoo will be killed
B．the elephant may also kill other people
C．it may have fewer visitors in the future
D．no one would like to be an elephant keeper any more
【4】Which of the following is NOT true?
A．Only the elephant will be moved away from the zoo.
B．London Zoo and the public have different ideas about where to keep the big animals.
C．Zoo can help to well keep animals.
D．Some people think that the big animals will die if they are sent to the wild animal park.
22、The brain of a woodpecker(啄木鸟)experiences a seemingly disastrous impact every time its beak(喙)meets wood.“When you see these birds with hard beaks, flexible tongues and strong neck muscles in action, hitting their head against a tree quite violently, then as humans we start wondering how these birds avoid getting headaches or brain damage,” says Van Wassenbergh, a researcher at the University of Antwerp in Belgium.
In the past, scientists have suggested the bird’s brain is protected from the impacts, perhaps by a skull(头骨)that acts as a cushion(缓冲物). But Van Wassenbergh wasn’t convinced. So he led a team that set out to settle the issue using high-speed videos of woodpeckers in action.
“We went to four different zoos in Europe where they had woodpeckers and we recorded them at very high frame rates, while they were pecking,” he says.
Although earlier studies have discovered a number of fascinating facts, one of which is that pecking repeatedly can be used by birds to find a mate, the videos revealed some new surprising details. For example, “they close their eyes at the moment they impact the wood,” Van Wassenbergh says, to protect their eyes from pieces of wood. The videos also showed that woodpeckers’ beaks often get stuck in the wood. But they break free almost instantly, thanks to a clever beak design that provides independent motion of the upper and lower beak.
“By analyzing high-speed videos of three species of woodpeckers, we found that woodpeckers do not absorb the shock of the impacts when pecking,” says Van Wassenbergh.
That means the organ repeatedly experiences impacts that would cause an injury in a human brain. Yet the woodpecker brain is unscathed, even after thousands of impacts in a single day. That is possible because a woodpecker’s brain is protected—not by cushioning, but by its tiny size and weight, Van Wassenbergh says.
“An animal that has a smaller size can resist higher-speed impacts,” he says. “That’s a biomechanical law.” Now, it has been confirmed by Van Wassenbergh’s high-speed videos.
【1】What did scientists previously assume was protecting the woodpecker’s brain?
A．The bird’s skull.
B．The bird’s tongue.
C．The bird’s beak.
D．The bird’s neck muscles.
【2】What can we learn about the woodpeckers from the videos?
A．They peck repeatedly to attract partners.
B．They can absorb the shock of the impacts.
C．Their upper and lower beaks move independently.
D．They keep their eyes open when pecking the wood.
【3】Which of the following best explains the underlined word “unscathed” in paragraph 6?
A．Sharp.
B．Unharmed.
C．Abnormal.
D．Alarmed.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A．Do Woodpeckers Damage Your Trees?
B．Do Woodpeckers Drill to Attract Partners?
C．It Is About Time Woodpeckers Made a Comeback
D．Woodpeckers’ Tiny Brain Size Resists Head Impact Injury
23、With the attractive scenery and the possibility of a monster (怪物) sighting, Loch Ness is the one of those rare destinations that engages everyone.
Urquhart Castle
Captured by Edward 1 in 1296, this prized castle changed hands between the Scots and English on several occasions. Though ruined today, it’s still possible to climb the Grant Tower and visit the battlements and prison cells. A cafe and visitor centre offer modern facilities in historic surroundings.
The Loch Ness Centre
For those who wish to digest the complete history of Loch Ness, this centre is particularly good at documenting the history of this mysterious stretch of water, including many attempts to search for Nessie, the infamous monster. It also holds curious artifacts (古器物) such as the diving suit worn by Lloyd Scott when he undertook his underwater marathon.
The Clansman Centre
At the south end of Loch Ness, this attraction uncovers the truth surrounding 18th-century family life. Audience members get the opportunity to put on Highland dress and there’s a demonstration on how weapons were used. The presentations take place within the recreated interior of a Highland house, adding atmosphere and authenticity (真实).
South Loch Ness Trail
This 36-mile route invites hikers along the quieter south side of Loch Ness, passing through three villages, and taking in the Falls of Foyers. Walkers hike a mix of minor roads and forest tracks, with highlights including Suidhe Viewpoint (a mountainous view at 1,200 feet). If it sounds too easygoing, then consider the Loch Ness 360° Trail instead for a more challenging, 80-mile route.
【1】Which place best suits visitors interested in Nessie?
