When the surface finally erupts, the head of a female polar bear comes out. Four months earlier, the bear had given birth to twins. They stayed close to her for warmth and food.Barle’s life could have begun this way. It’s thought that she was born and raised on the west bank of Hudson Bay in 1984. Records suggest she may have been sent to Germany in 1986 through the Manitoba Polar Bear Export Program. The program was devoted to relocating orphaned(成为孤儿的) baby bears abroad and guaranteeing them a better life. In Germany, Barle ended up with animal trainer Fredy Gafner for unknown reasons. Shortly after 1990, Gafner took his bear show to the Mexican Suarez Brothers Circus.For 13 years, Barle and six other polar bears were forced to perform. Barle was denied not only the ability to run, swim, and climb but also the chance to find a mate and raise young. When not performing, Barle and the other bears were kept in a truck divided into seven 64- square-foot metal cages.Barle would likely never have been rescued had it not been for Ken and Sherri Gigliotti. In 1996, the Canadian couple took a trip to Cozumel, Mexico, where they visited the Suarez Brothers Circus. They were shocked by the polar bears’ conditions, so they brought home a circus program and shared it with the Winnipeg Free Press.Soon after the Free Press story appeared, Debbie Leahy, then director of Captive Animal Rescue, began investigating the Suarez Brothers Circus. She watched the bears perform several times, and once she received a behind-the-scenes tour. During each visit, the bears were dirty. Flies were everywhere.Leahy devoted herself to the bears’ rescue. Later, the Manitoba government passed the Polar Bear Protection Act, which stated that only orphaned baby bears under two years of age were eligible(有资格的) for zoo placement and zoos must satisfy strict standards.Due to mounting pressure from interest groups, the Suarez Brothers Circus chose to abandon its seven polar bears in Puerto Rico.4. Why was Barle sent to Germany?A. To be trained to perform.B. To be better taken care of.C. To join the Suarez Brothers Circus.D. To meet other orphaned baby bears.5. What was Barle’s life like while working with the Suarez Brothers Circus?A. She didn’t get on well with other bears.B. She was separated from her babies.C. She had to perform in a metal cage.D. She couldn’t develop normally.6. How did the Canadian couple rescue Barle?A. They set up a circus program in Mexico.B. They used the media to put the circus under pressure.C. They persuaded the Manitoba government to renew a law.D. They employed Debbie Leahy to carry out an investigation.7. What does the author intend to do by writing the passage?A. To call on readers to protect polar bears.B. To show the miserable life of circus animals.C. To describe the new life of Barle the polar bear.D. To introduce the dramatic rescue of Barle the polar bear.【答案】4. B5. D6. B7. DCA famous springboard driver was defeated by his competitor in the finals of a world championship, offering congratulations to the winner and waving a tearful goodbye to the audience.It is common in the athletic world. Sportsmen spend the best part of their lives on hard training and competitions. When it becomes evident that they are on the decline they still make great efforts to give their best so as to bring a satisfactory end to their career.Chances to compete for the championship are few and far between. Life is short. Still shorter is the time for an athlete trying to win games. An athletic contestant really feels that there are so few opportunities and time flies. He treasures every minute, makes full use of it and tries to grasp any chance coming his way. He gets as much as he gives, winning honors not only for himself but also for his country.To participate and to win——that is the Olympic spirit. It finds expression in the weak daring to challenge the strong, and the strong searching forever better performance. Ever better—the ideal always makes a sportsman forward. He will do everything he can for it, never relax, never give up. It is said that none of the competitors can avoid being defeated—even the best is bound to be defeated by someone still stronger. This is the rule of sports—thousands of losers set off one winner who in turn will eventually be replaced by someone on the honor list. However, he is always trying to do the best he can. When the time comes and he knows he can’t, he will step down happily to give place to the younger winner, aware contentedly of the fact that he has done his best for the “ever better” records of the Olympic Games. He will say proudly that he has not lived his youth in vain.8. What is the function of the first paragraph?A. To explain a phenomenon.B. To describe a competition.CTo lead in the topic of this passage.D. To express worries about sportsmen.9. According to the passage, what kind of ideal pushes an athlete forward?A. He wants to win people’s respect.B. He wants to win honor for his nation.C. He wants to make greater achievements than ever.D. He wants to earn more and more money and fame.10. What can be learnt from the rule of sports?A. Whatever difficulties you have met, never give up.B. Even the strongest athlete will be defeated one day.C. You can’t live in the sports field without any effort or progress.D. You are the winner if you are brave enough to challenge the strong.11. What is the passage mainly about?A. Sportsmen’s spirit. B. Sportsmen’s life.C. Sportsmen’s honor. D. Sportsmen’s pride.【答案】8. C9. C10. B11. ADAfter lab-grown meat, are you getting ready for animal-free cow’s milk? A San Francisco startup believes it has found a solution.Through a combination of yeast(酵母), cow DNA and plant nutrients, Perfect Day claims to have created a product identical in taste and nutritional value to cow’s milk, but without any cows involved. It will satisfy consumers who love eating dairy(乳制品的)ice-cream, cheese and yoghurt, but loathe factory-style farming and its environmental footprint.Sales of milk alternatives such as soy, coconut and more recently pea milk are expected to be on the rise. But until now they have not cut traditional milk and dairy production. “The alternatives for yoghurt, cheese and ice-cream are so bad that people don’t even want to try them,” says Perfect Day co-founder Ryan Pandya.The missing ingredient (成分)in plant-based alternatives is cow’s milk proteins. To make the animal-free cow’s milk, Perfect Day puts cow DNA—which is readily available thanks to decades of research by the dairy industry—into yeast and adds sugar to create cow’s milk proteins through fermentation (发酵). These milk proteins are then combined with sugar, fats and nutrients to create the final product.“We’re taking plant nutrients and transforming them into animal proteins the same way that cows do, using the same milk proteins as found in cow’s milk, but much more efficiently, because we’re using a yeast cell not an animal,” said Pandya.Although comparisons have been made with lab-grown meat, Pandya said they are not using novel technology. Many people initially go ‘oh is this like lab or test-tube milk’, but that’s wrong. There are no test tubes in our fermentation process. The meat folks are trying to invent technology that doesn’t exist today, but our milk is made through techniques that have been in use for more than three decades.12. What does the underlined word “loathe” mean in Paragraph 2?A. Ignore. B. Hate. C. Doubt. D. Tolerate.13. Which of the following is a part of Perfect Day’s milk-making process?A. Mixing cow DNA with yeast and sugar.B. Adding sugar and fats to plant milk.C. Mixing plant milk with cow milk.D. Adding cow DNA to plant milk.14. How is Perfect Day’s milk different from pea milk?A. It costs less energy.B. It is cheaper in price.C. It has cow’s milk proteins.D. It contains less sugar and fats.15. What does Pandya think of their product?A. It tastes like test-tube milk.B. It needs to be tested further.C. It is well-received by green food lovers.D. It is produced with existing technology.【答案】12. B13. A14. C15.

Every Thanksgiving for nine years he had sat down there at one in the afternoon. Every time, a wonderful thing happened to him, which made his heart feel full of joy.On those other Thanksgiving Days, Steve usually had been hungry. But today Steve was not hungry. He had come from a dinner so big that he had almost no power to move. His body had suddenly become too big for his clothes; it seemed ready to break out of them. They were torn. You could see his skin through a hole in the front of his shirt. But the cold wind, with snow in it, felt pleasantly cool to him.The dinner had not been expected. He had been passing a large house near the beginning of that great broad street called Fifth Avenue, where lived two ladies of an old family who had a deep love of tradition that on Thanksgiving Day food will be offered to the first hungry person to walk by. Today Steve happened to be the one to pass by on his way to the park.Steve sat in the park, appearing to be waiting for somebody, but appearing not to expect something to happen. Suddenly his eyes grew wider and his breath stopped. For the old gentleman was coming across Fourth Avenue toward Steve’s seat.Every Thanksgiving Day for nine years the old gentleman had come there to find Steve on his seat. Then he had led Steve to a restaurant and watched him eat a big dinner, which had been a part of Thanksgiving Day. The old gentleman was thin and tall and sixty. His hair was whiter and thinner than it had been last year. His legs shook, seeming not as strong as they were the year before.注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。As this kind old gentleman came toward him, Steve began to shake and his breath was shorter._____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________With these words, the old man looked into Steve' s eyes, expecting Steve to accept the dinner._____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________【答案】    As this kind old gentleman came toward him, Steve began to shake and his breath was shorter. He wished he could fly away. But he could not move from his seat. “Good afternoon,” said the old gentleman. “Glad to see you again. Come with me, my man, and I will give you a dinner that will surely make your body feel as thankful as your mind.” Those are what the old gentleman said every time. The words themselves were almost a tradition. Always before, they had been music in Steve’s ear. But now he looked up at the old gentleman’s face, totally at a loss what to say. With these words, the old man looked into Steve’s eyes, expecting Steve to accept the dinner. Steve hesitated for half a minute, helpless and very sorry for himself. And then Steve made a strange noise, and said: “Thank you. I’m very hungry.” which the old gentleman had heard nine times before, he understood it. Steve was very full, but he understood that he was a part of a tradition. His desire for food on Thanksgiving Day was not his own. It belonged to this kind old gentleman. Then he struggled to stand up and followed the gentleman in the snow.
