ZOOKEEPER FOR A DAY
Go Wild with an Extreme Zookeeping Experience!
The Khaki Extreme programme is a wild behind­the­scenes zookeeping adventure like no other！The programme offers the chance for 11－15 year olds to see first­hand what’s involved in looking after amazing wildlife at Australia Zoo.
During the guided adventures, you’ll gain an understanding and appreciation of what’s involved in working in one of the world’s most popular zoological and conservation areas, and you’ll love getting up close with the awesome animals.
Whether it’s helping keepers prepare diets for the animals, cleaning enclosures(围场) for large animals, or making improved activities for Australia Zoo’s wildlife—you will have a chance to get involved at grass­roots level.
After a busy morning getting up close with wildlife, you can enjoy a specially provided lunch while watching the performance in the world­famous Crocoseum. Then you’ll also receive a guided behind­the­scenes tour of the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital. Here you’ll see the kind veterinary(兽医的) team treating sick and injured native wildlife, and you’ll learn what you can do to protect Australia’s native wild animals.
Every season is different and so is our Zookeeper for a Day Khaki Extreme programme！We’ll change the animals and activities each school holiday period to keep it exciting, but with so many great animals on offer, the Khaki Extreme programme is always a bunch of fun.
If reptiles(爬行动物) are more your thing, check our Zookeeper for a Day Khaki Extreme Reptile programme. Here you’ll have a wild day out with some of Australia Zoo’s most scaly(有鳞屑的) and slippery friends.

In Colonial days, farm families worked from sunrise to sunset and sometimes longer. People had little time for play. They did not have a chance to see other people as much as we do today. But sometimes they were able to turn hard work into good times and still visit with their neighbours.
In Virginia, Indian corn was an important crop. In late autumn after the weather had turned cold, the corn was ready to be harvested. Each ear had a cover of leaves called the husk(壳). The colonists pulled ears of corn from the dry stalks and stored the ears of corn. Later, they held a corn husking­party.
On a clear night in November, neighbouring families gathered to husk(剥去……的壳) the corn. They lit lanterns in a barn and piled the corn in high mounds(垛) on the floor. Then everyone went to work.
Most of the corn was yellow or white. But from time to time, a red ear was found. The person who found it was supposed to have good luck.
As people worked together, they enjoyed each other’s company. There was cider to drink and cakes and cookies to eat. Corn husking was a favourite with boys and girls because they liked the chance to have a party.

Dear Sir，
There is a plan to build a new supermarket on the edge of the Whitefields housing estate(住宅区), on the land where the local library now is. I live at Whitefields, and I would like to express my concern about this plan. It is not that I am completely against the idea of building a supermarket — I just think that as a community we need to weigh up the advantages and disadvantages before committing ourselves.
It is clear that the library is under­used and in poor condition. It is also clear that there are very few shops near here and a supermarket would be a good thing to have. But the people who want to build the supermarket seem to think that no one wants the library any more, and that it isn’t a must because of the Internet and so on. Is this necessarily true, especially for elderly people？What about young people who don’t have the Internet at home and need to go to the library to do their homework？Where can they study if they have to share a room with a younger brother or sister?
On the other hand, there is an argument that a new supermarket would not only bring more choice of shopping and more convenience for local people, but it would also bring some much­needed jobs for younger people in the town — and this is a good point. What we need to do is consider the effect a supermarket will have on our quality of life. Certainly local people, including me, will find shopping a lot easier and more convenient. But there will also be extra traffic. In a few years from now, the roads in and around will be full of cars in the daytime and delivery lorries at night, and not only that — we will have got used to it, too. Are more jobs and more convenience worth such an influence on our daily lives？Perhaps, but this is what we have to ask ourselves.
I believe that all the people of Whitefields, and the authority, need to discuss this question in an open­minded way — and I hope that by the time a decision is taken, we will have had a full and fair discussion of the issues involved, and that the local authority will have really listened to everyone’s view. Is that too much to ask?
Yours faithfully，
Tom Watkins
8．The supporters of the supermarket probably think ________.
A．the library is no longer needed
B．the library is too poor to be rebuilt

10．What is the author’s attitude toward the plan?

D
In the basement of a landmark 27­story tower in Stockholm, Petterson is hoping to sow the seeds of an indoor urban farming revolution. He is the chief executive of Plantagon, a new urban farming factory set to kick off operations in the basement of an office block in the Swedish capital.
He is by no means the first enthusiast for indoor farming, which has become increasingly fashionable in recent years. Claims for the practice of growing food in basements range from feeding people in desert environments to transforming the negative environmental effects of monoculture farming.
Plantagon’s early promises reflect this new optimism. Petterson calls the farm’s approach “agritechture”： the combination of agriculture, technology and architecture hoping to revolutionize how we live and eat.
The term may be new, but the concept isn’t. Indoor farming is made possible by agricultural technologies such as hydroponics (growing plants without soil) and aeroponics (in which plants are grown in air over containers). Food can be produced without direct sunlight or soil.
Plantagon plans to grow high­value foods in a pumice­like material rather than soil. Water for the plants is measured precisely. It will also dehumidify(除湿) the air and reuse any extra water to ensure zero waste. Compared with conventional agriculture, it will need much less water to produce the same amount of crops.
Energy is also a key issue for indoor urban farms, which have to create artificial sunlight. Although advances in the efficiency of LED lights have helped bring down energy consumption in recent years, plants use only about 1 percent of the artificial light produced. This leads to a great waste of energy, most of which disappears as heat. The basement farm will capture around 70 percent of this wasted heat and pipe it into the heating system of the office block above. Oxygen produced by the plants will be sent to office workers via the building’s air conditioners.
12．What does Plantagon plan to do in the basement?
A．Grow crops. B．Do operations.
C．Open a seed company. D．Give lectures about farming.
13．What does the underlined phrase “The term” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A．Aeroponics. 　　　　 B．Hydroponics.
C．Monoculture. D．Agritechture.
14．What do indoor farms do with energy waste?
A．Produce oxygen. B．Run air conditioners.
C．Heat offices. D．Create artificial sunlight.
15．What is the text mainly about?
A．A farming revolution. B．Petterson’s achievement.
C．A water­saving farming project. D．An environment­friendly system.

阅读下面短文， 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Anyone who knows me well would see me as an optimist. 16 This was the case for me on a particularly cold January day.
I felt exhausted by the painful challenges I was dealing with in my personal life. 17 — The gray sky blocked even a single ray of sunlight.
About midway through the day, I left work to get some lunch. Still feeling negative, I noticed that the sun had come out for a moment. I began to think about my negative attitude and reminded myself that I was responsible for choosing my state of mind. 18 Even though I reminded myself of this truth, I couldn’t make the change.
As I stopped at a red light, I looked at the car in front of mine. The personalized license plate caught my eye — It read “SUNZOUT”. This brought an immediate smile to my face. 19 And in the midst of the longest, darkest, coldest winter, this in itself was a blessing. But then my eyes moved to the car that was next to the SUNZOUT vehicle. The license plate on that car read “GROUCH”. This brought more than a smile to my face as I laughed out loud! Seeing the two opposite license plates at that exact moment in time strengthened my previous recognition of my ability to choose my attitude. 20
I returned to work and share my story with several co­workers who responded with warm laughter at what I refer to as my “message from beyond”. I learned that day that when we’re feeling too discouraged to bring ourselves out of an active state, relief is only a prayer away!
A．The weather seemed to match my mood.
B．Pessimists think the opposite way, however.
C．However, even optimists can temporarily lose hope.
D．It felt like a reminder that the sun was shining after all.
E．Do you think that the sunshine will spread throughout your life?
F．I felt my spirit lift as I made the decision to choose a positive attitude.
G．While I could not ignore the pain I was going through, I could choose to think positively.

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。
In 1989, fresh out of high school, I was faced with a difficult choice of a career path before college started in three months. In those days in Pakistan, there were limited choices: becoming a doctor or an engineer, or entering the financial world after getting a business degree. I wasn’t interested in engineering, so that I was left with medicine or business. I couldn’t decide.
My uncle suggested that I do a work placement(实习工作) to experience it for a month in an international company followed by a month in a hospital. After that, I could make a decision. It seemed like a good idea.
I was accepted for a month’s placement at a foreign bank in Karachi. I got a feel for how the world of finance worked, made new friends, and generally enjoyed the mostly easy-going work environment.
The month passed rapidly, and soon I began working at a leading hospital in Karachi. The experience was quite different. The hospital days started early(at 7 a．m. , compared with 9 a．m. at the bank), and were filled with endless duties. And the night calls! This was crazy, working all day, through the night, and again in the next day.
I began thinking about my two experiences. The bank had offered a more relaxing atmosphere, better working hours and less stress. The hospital had an intense(严肃紧张的) environment, and the studying and training was difficult. It seemed that business was a better choice.
Near the end of my month at the hospital, I was driving home after a very busy night call. In front of me was a public bus, with some boys sitting on the top. As the driver weaved through(穿梭) traffic, I could see the boys shaking from side to side.
注意：
1．续写的词数应为150左右；2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Suddenly, a boy fell off the back of the bus. _______________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The next day, when I went to hospital to see the boy, all his family got up, with grateful smiles on their faces.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Dear Smith,
I am writing to invite you to take part in an activity about the protection of water resources.
The activity, which will be held at Nanshan Lake next Sunday, will be very good for surrounding environment. All the students in our school will go there to pick up the rubbish and remind people of the importance of protecting water resources. We will also hand out paper ads on protecting water to people there. Knowing that you always have been very active in protecting environment for many years, I’m sure you would not miss such a good chance.
I am looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua

One possible version：
Suddenly,__a boy fell off the back of the bus．He fell so heavily, lying motionless in the middle of the road. The bus driver wasn’t aware of what was happening and sped away. Driven by a sense of duty, I stopped my car immediately and examined him carefully. With the help of some passers-by, I lifted him into my car and sent him to the hospital. Fortunately, the boy was safe finally.
One possible version：
The next day,_when I went to hospital to see the boy,_all his family got up,_with grateful smiles on their faces. The mother held my hands to her face. With tears in her eyes, she said, “My boy, you are an angel！” What a feeling it was, to help save the life of another person! Driving home that evening, I knew what my final decision would be. The short experience of helping the boy said more than two months of placements could do.
