21、How could we possibly think that keeping animals in cages in unnatural environments-mostly for entertainment purposes-is fair and respectful?
Zoo officials say they are concerned about animals. However, most zoos remain “collections” of interesting “things” rather than protective habitats. Zoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals bored, lonely, and far from their natural zones.
Zoos claim to educate people and save endangered species, but visitors leave zoos without having learned anything meaningful about the animals’ natural behaviour , intelligence, or beauty. Zoos keep animals in small spaces or cages, and most signs only mention the species’ name, diet, and natural range(分布区). The animals’ normal behavior is seldom noticed because zoos don't usually take care of the animals’ natural needs.
The animals are kept together in small spaces, with no privacy and little opportunity for mental and physical exercise. This results in unusual and self-destructive behavior called zoochosis. A worldwide study of zoos found that zoochosis is common among animals kept in small spaces or cages. Another study showed that elephants spend 22 percent of their time making repeated head movements or biting cage bars, and bears spend 30 percent of their time walking back and forth, a sign of unhappiness and pain.
Furthermore ,most animals in zoos are not endangered. Captive breeding(圈养繁殖)of endangered big cats, Asian elephants, and other species has not resulted in their being sent back to the wild. Zoos talk a lot about their captive breeding programs because they do not want people to worry about a species dying out. In fact, baby animals also attract a lot of paying customers. Haven’t we seen enough competitions to name baby animals?
Actually, we will save endangered species only if we save their habitats and put an end to the reasons people kill them. Instead of supporting zoos, we should support groups that work to protect animals’ natural habitats.
【1】How would the author describe the animals' life in zoos?
A．Dangerous.
B．Unhappy.
C．Natural.
D．Easy.
【2】In the state of zoochosis, animals________.
A．remain in cages
B．behave strangely
C．attack other animals
D．enjoy moving around
【3】What does the author try to argue in the passage?
A．Zoos are not worth the public support..
B．Zoos fail in their attempt to save animals.
C．Zoos should treat animals as human beings.
D．Zoos use animals as a means of entertainment.
【4】Although he argues against zoos, the author would still agree that________.
A．zoos have to keep animals in small cages
B．most animals in zoos are endangered species
C．some endangered animals are reproduced in zoos
D．it's acceptable to keep animals away from their habitats1
【5】Which word is similar to zones in the 2nd paragraph?
A．zoos
B．animals
C．collections
D．habitats
22、When people ask me what Down Syndrome(唐氏综合症) is, I tell them it’s an extra chromosome(染色体). A doctor would tell you the extra chromosome causes an intellectual disability that makes it harder for me to learn things.
Even though I have Down Syndrome, my life is a lot like yours. I read books and watch TV. I listen to music with my friends. I’m on the swim team and in chorus at school. I think about the future, and I like the one who I’ll marry. And I get along with my sisters---except when they take CDs without asking! I’m a hard worker, a good person, and I care about my friends.
Some of my classes are with typical kids, and some are with kids with learning disabilities. I have an aid who goes with me to my harder classes, like math and biology. She helps me take notes and gives me tips on how I should study for tests. It really helps, but I also challenge myself to do well. For instance, my goal was to be in a typical English class by 12thgrade. That’s exactly what happened this year!
It’s true that I don’t learn some things as fast as other people do. But that won’t stop me from trying. I just know that if I work really hard and by myself I can do almost anything.
I can’t change the fact that I have Down Syndrome, but one thing I would change is what people think of me. I’d tell them, “Judge me as a whole person, not just the person you see. Treat me with respect, and accept me for who I am. The most important---just be my friend.”

D. To describe the life of a student with learning disabilities
23、March 21 has been declared World Sleep Day, a time to recognize and celebrate the value of sleep. Many sleep experts hope it will be a wake-up call.
According to a poll (民意调查)by the National Sleep Foundation, nearly 4 in 5 Americans don’t get as much sleep as they should during the workweek. On average, adults are thought to need at least eight hours of sleep a night, although some can manage with less and some won’t do well without more. But the survey found that, on workdays, only 21% of Americans actually get a full eight hours of sleep, and another 21% get less than six.
To many of us, the thought of spending more time sleeping is, well, a big yawn. On the other hand, the thought of being smarter, thinner, healthier and more cheerful has a certain appeal. And those are just a few of the advantages that can be ours if we consistently get enough sleep, researchers say. Also on the plus side: We’re likely to have better skin, better memories, better judgment, and, oh, yes, longer lives.
“When you lose even one hour of sleep for any reason, it influences your performance the next day,” says Dr. Alon Avidan, director of the UCLA Sleep Disorders Center.
A study published last year found the same to be true even of children. When kids aged 8 to 12 slept for just one hour less for four nights, they didn’t function as well during the day.
But sleeping has an image problem. “We see napping or sleeping as lazy,” says Jennifer Vriend, a clinical psychologist in Ottawa, Canada, and the leading author of the study with children. “We put so much emphasis on diet, nutrition and exercise. Sleep is in the back seat.” In fact, she adds, no matter how much we work out, no matter how well we eat, we can’t be in top physical shape unless we also get plenty of sleep.
【1】The underlined part in Paragraph 1 means _____.
A.to wake up the sleepers
B.to serve as a morning call
C.to draw people’s attention
D.to declare the special day
【2】From Paragraph 3 we can infer that _______.
A.being healthier is one of the advantages for us
B.enough sleep is the guarantee of the appealing things
C.sleeping has nothing to do with one’s expectations
D.spending more time on sleeping is a waste of time
【3】What Jennifer Vriend said in the last paragraph implies that _______.
A.people care little about sleeping
B.sleeping is an image problem
C.lazy people tend to sleep long
D.sleeping is only part of our life
【4】What is the purpose of the passage?
A.to talk about people’s sleeping problems.
B.to provide an investigation result of sleeping.
C.to stress the function of sleeping at night.
D.to arouse the awareness of enough sleeping.
24、Do American children still learn handwriting in school? In the age of the keyboard, some people seem to think handwriting lessons are on the way out. 90% of teachers say they are required to teach handwriting. But studies have yet to answer the question of how well they are teaching it. One study published this year found that about three out of every four teachers say they are not prepared to teach handwriting. Some teachers are teaching handwriting by providing instruction for 10 to 15 minutes a day, and then other teachers who basically teach it for 60 to 70 minutes a day — which really for handwriting is pretty much.
Many adults remember learning that way — by copying letters over and over again. Today’ s thinking is that short periods of practice are better. Many experts also think handwriting should not be taught by itself. Instead, they say it should be used as a way to get students to express ideas. After all, that is why we write.
Handwriting involves two skills. One is legibility, which means forming the letters so they can be read. The other is fluency — writing without having to think about it. Fluency continues to develop up until high school.
But not everyone masters these skills. Teachers commonly report that about one fourth of their kids have poor handwriting. Some people might think handwriting is not important any more because of computers and voice recognition programs.
But Steve Graham at Vanderbilt says word processing is rarely done in elementary school, especially in the early years. American children traditionally first learn to print, and then to write in cursive, which connects the letters. But guess what we learned from a spokeswoman for the College Board, which administers the SAT college admission test. More than 75 percent of students choose to print their essay on the test rather than write in cursive.
【1】From Paragraph 1 we can learn ________.
A. teaching handwriting is a basic requirement in teaching job
B. most teachers prefer to teach handwriting
C. teachers spend little time in teaching handwriting
D. a keyboard has taken the place of the handwriting entirely
【2】The underlined word “legibility” in Paragraph 3 means ________.
A. being easy to read B. being complex
C. being unexpected D. being unreadable
【3】The best title for the passage is ________.
A. How to improve handwriting in school
B. Right or wrong: the death of handwriting
C. Handwriting involves two skills
D. Handwriting lessons are on the way out
【4】 The author’ s attitude towards whether still to learn handwriting in school is________.
A. negative B. objective
C. critical D. optimistic

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Experiences at a Sports Meeting I used to be very active in sports and games when I was in primary school. 1won the B Division long jump and was a decent sprinter(短跑运动员). As a result, I was chosen to represent the school in the long jump and relay events at the District Sports Meeting, A little too proud, I was so sure I would win a medal that I didn’t make enough preparations.
The Meeting lasted two days. I had no events scheduled for the first day. So I kept myself busy by watching the others compete.
The next day, I was getting ready for my events. The long jump was scheduled for the early afternoon, followed by the 8×50 meters relay later in the afternoon. I thought I was a pretty good jumper, but as the competition began, I realized I was vastly outclassed. My jump was 3. 65 meters which was not bad for me. Then there was a boy nicknamed the typhoon, who jumped over 4 meters!That was quite an accomplishment for a ten-year-old boy. We finished our jumps, and I came in the fourth place, just missing out on a medal, which I was eagerly longing for.
That was disappointing, but I reminded myself that we still had a chance in the8×50 meters relay, for which I was assigned to run the fifth leg. The race time arrived. We filed into our assigned spots and prepared for the race. After a nervous minute or so, I heard the starter’s gun go off. When the first runners took off, I watched holding my breath as my team runners kept up with the others. I saw the baton(接力棒)passed from one runner to another. As they got closer, I realized we were at least in the second place. My turn arrived. I took the baton cleanly and began my run. The air rushed past me as I moved closer to the next runner.
