　　I have worked as a keeper at the National Zoo,Paris for 11 years.Spot and Stripe are the first tiger cubs that have ever been born here.Globally,a third of Sumatran cubs in zoos don?t make it to adulthood,so I decided to give them round-the-clock care at home.
　　I?ve got two children—the younger one,Kynan,was extremely happy about the tigers arriving—but all of us really looked forward to being part of their lives and watching them grow.I wasn?t worried about bringing them into my home with my wife and kids.These were cubs.They weighed about 2.5 kg and were so small that there was absolutely no risk.
　　As they grew more mobile,we let them move freely around the house during the day,but when we were asleep we had to contain them in a large room,otherwise they?d get up to mischief.We?d come down in the morning to find they?d turned the room upside down,and left it looking like a zoo. 
　　Things quickly got very intense due to the huge amount of energy required to look after them.There were some tough times and I just felt extremely tired.I was grateful that my family was there to help.We had to have a bit of a production line going,making up “tiger milk”,washing baby bottles,and cleaning the floors.
　　When Spot and Stripe were four months old,they were learning how to open doors and jump fences,and we knew it really was time for them to go.It was hard for us to finally part with them.For the first few days,Kynan was always a bit disappointed that the cubs weren?t there.
　　I?m not sad about it.I?m hands-on with them every day at the zoo,and I do look back very fondly on the time that we had them.
24.Why did the author bring the tiger cubs home?
A.To ensure their survival.
B.To observe their differences.
C.To teach them life skills.
D.To let them play with his kids.
25.What do the underlined words “get up to mischief” mean in Paragraph 3?
A.Behave badly. B.Lose their way.
C.Sleep soundly. D.Miss their mom.
26.What did the author think of raising the tiger cubs at home?
A.Boring. B.Tiring.
C.Costly. D.Risky.
27.Why did the author decide to send Spot and Stripe back to the zoo?
A.They frightened the children.
B.They became difficult to contain.
C.They annoyed the neighbours.
D.They started fighting each other.

　　A British woman who won a $1 million prize after she was named the World?s Best Teacher will use the cash to bring inspirational figures into UK schools.
　　Andria Zafirakou,a north London secondary school teacher,said she wanted to bring about a classroom revolution (变革).“We are going to make a change,” she said.“I?ve started a project to promote the teaching of the arts in our schools.”
　　The project results from the difficulties many schools have in getting artists of any sort—whether an up-and-coming local musician or a major movie star—into schools to work with and inspire children.
　　Zafirakou began the project at Alperton Community School,her place of work for the past twelve years.“I?ve seen those magic moments when children are talking to someone they are inspired by—their eyes are shining and their faces light up,” she said.“We need artists more than ever in our schools.”
　　Artist Michael Craig-Martin said: “Andria?s brilliant project to bring artists from all fields into direct contact with children is particularly welcome at a time when the arts are being downgraded in schools.”It was a mistake to see the arts as unnecessary,he added.
　　Historian Sir Simon Schama is also a supporter of the project.He said that arts education in schools was not just an add-on.“It is absolutely necessary.The future depends on creativity and creativity depends on the young.What will remain of us when artificial intelligence takes over will be our creativity,and it is our creative spirit,our visionary sense of freshness,that has been our strength for centuries.”
28.What will Zafirakou do with her prize money?
A.Make a movie.
B.Build new schools.
C.Run a project.
D.Help local musicians.
29.What does Craig-Martin think of the teaching of the arts in UK schools?
A.It is particularly difficult.
B.It increases artists? income.
C.It opens children?s mind.
D.It deserves greater attention.
30.What should be stressed in school education according to Schama?
A.Moral principles.
B.Interpersonal skills.
C.Creative abilities.
D.Positive worldviews.
31.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A.Bring Artists to Schools
B.When Historians Meet Artists
C.Arts Education in Britain
D.The World?s Best Arts Teacher
D
　　An Australian professor is developing a robot to monitor the health of grazing cattle,a development that could bring big changes to a profession that?s relied largely on a low-tech approach for decades but is facing a labor shortage.
　　Salah Sukkarieh,a professor at the University of Sydney,sees robots as necessary given how cattlemen are aging.He is building a four-wheeled robot that will run on solar and electric power.It will use cameras and sensors to monitor the animals.A computer system will analyze the video to determine whether a cow is sick.Radio tags(标签) on the animals will measure temperature changes.The quality of grassland will be tracked by monitoring the shape,color and texture (质地) of grass.That way,cattlemen will know whether they need to move their cattle to another field for nutrition purposes.
　　Machines have largely taken over planting,watering and harvesting crops such as corn and wheat,but the monitoring of cattle has gone through fewer changes.
　　For Texas cattleman Pete Bonds,it?s increasingly difficult to find workers interested in watching cattle.But Bonds doesn?t believe a robot is right for the job.Years of experience in the industry—and failed attempts to use technology—have convinced him that the best way to check cattle is with a man on a horse.Bonds,who bought his first cattle almost 50 years ago,still has each of his cowboys inspect 300 or 400 cattle daily and look for signs that an animal is getting sick.
　　Other cattlemen see more promise in robots.Michael Kelsey,vice president of the Oklahoma Cattlemen?s Association,said a robot could be extremely useful given rising concerns about cattle theft.Cattle tend to be kept in remote places and their value has risen,making them appealing targets.
32.What is a problem with the cattle-raising industry?
A.Soil pollution.
B.Lack of workers.
C.Aging machines.
D.Low profitability.
33.What will Sukkarieh?s robot be able to do?
A.Monitor the quality of grass.
B.Cure the diseased cattle.
C.Move cattle to another field.
D.Predict weather changes.
34.Why does Pete Bonds still hire cowboys to watch cattle?
A.He wants to help them earn a living.
B.He thinks men can do the job better.
C.He is inexperienced in using robots.
D.He enjoys the traditional way of life.
35.How may robots help with cattle watching according to Michael Kelsey?
A.Increase the value of cattle.
B.Bring down the cost of labor.
C.Make the job more appealing.
D.Keep cattle from being stolen.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
　　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。
　　If the only reading you ever do is the novel or magazine,the speed at which you read probably does not matter very much.But if you have to read a great deal for study,you will appreciate the benefits of being able to read more quickly.　36　 
　　Before you open the book,make sure that you are comfortable.You need a seat which supports your back and the book should be at the right distance from your eyes.　37　 
　　　38　 Look at the table of contents,the preface,the chapter heading,etc.This will help you to decide whether you really need to read the whole book or only certain parts of it.Ten minutes spent in this way could save you quite a lot of time in the long run. 
　　If you decide that you need to read the whole book,decide how much you can read at a time.　39　 A history book which may contain the facts in story form will be easier to read than one dealing with scientific subjects.In the former case you may be able to read a chapter.In the latter you may only be able to read one page. 
　　Always keep a pencil and paper beside you.　40　Note also the facts important for your purpose as well as anything which leads you to further research.You don?t have to write these things in detail.It is enough to put the page number and one or two words as a reminder . 
A.Stop to have a rest now and then.
B.Spend a few minutes looking through the book.
C.This depends on the type of book you are reading.
D.Here are some tips to help improve your reading speed.
E.Make a note of any page which is of special importance.
F.You may find yourself having to learn something by heart.
G.Keep the room cool rather than warm to avoid feeling sleepy.

　　Over the past 38 years,Mr.Wang has pretended to be someone else many times,and has even learned to 　41　 different dialects(方言),leading to him being described as an “Oscar-winning actor”. 
　　The 60-year-old is not an actor,but a 　42　. However,he is more devoted to his “　43　” than any real actor. 
　　In the 1990s,a group of thieves often sold stolen goods with the help of some beggars.To look into the 　44　,Wang disguised(伪装) himself and 　45　 the beggars.Dirty shorts and old shoes gave him the 　46　 of a real beggar and his convincing dialect soon won him the 　47　 of the beggars. 
　　“I often 　48　 them to drink alcohol.Once they were 　49　,they began to talk a lot,” Wang said.“I?d then 　50　 myself to use the toilet,　51　 what the beggars said,and send the 　52　 to my teammates.”  
　　Wang,who is often in 　53　 situations,is also a judo(柔道) master.“As long as I get close enough,no criminal can 　54　 from me,” he said. 
　　Wang?s 　55　 won him several honors,including a National May Day Labor Medal and 11 Citations of Merit.

　　Then Jeff noticed steam shooting out of the pot and the lid starting to shake.The next minute,the porridge boiled over and put out the fire.Jenna panicked.Thankfully,Jeff stayed calm and turned off the gas quickly.But the stove was a mess now.Jenna told Jeff to clean it up so they could continue to cook the rest of the porridge.But Jeff?s hand touched the hot burner and he gave a cry of pain.Jenna made him put his hand in cold water.Then she caught the smell of burning.Oh dear! The piece of bread in the pan had turned black as well.

W:Hello,everyone.Today I?ll talk about how to improve your pronunciation.Language researchers say pronunciation and fluency are the biggest barriers,followed by grammar,in effective spoken English.However,most people don?t regard pronunciation as a very important part of communication skills.They?re more focused on vocabulary.⑱One reason is that most people are not even aware of their mispronunciations.So it?s important to first find out the words you mispronounce.You should listen to experts,by experts,I mean those who are less likely to make pronunciation mistakes.⑲When listening to them,pay attention to words that sound strange,strange because you pronounce the same words differently.When you come across such words,check a dictionary to confirm their exact pronunciations.You can also search for difficult-to-pronounce words and names,and make a list of them.The last suggestion is to read aloud.⑳Now you?ve got the correct pronunciations of the words,it?s time to practice reading them every day.

【技巧点拨】寻复现,定答案
复现是文章中词汇的一种衔接手段,即表达相同意思的词汇在文章的不同地方出现。复现可以是相同的词重复出现,也可以是同义词、近义词、同一语义场的复现或反义词的复现。作答时,我们可以根据原词复现线索,结合主题句的含义来答题,这样可以达到事半功倍的效果。需要注意的是,这并不意味着有原词复现的选项一定就是正确答案,还需要结合主题句的含义来判断。如文中的“the speed at which you read”和选项D中的“your reading speed”构成同义复现。
37.G　根据本段主题句“Before you open the book,make sure that you are comfortable.(在你打开书之前,确保你感到舒服)”可知,本段主要说明要给自己创造舒适的阅读环境。G项“保持房间凉爽而不是温暖以避免困倦”符合语境。
