Friday, December 14, began like any usual day for the animals of Sydney’s Taronga Zoo. Then, something
exciting happened—Father Christmas’ helpers arrived, carrying beautiful presents for each and every one of them.
For Jumilah, the zoo’s six year-old tiger it was a colourful box that she opened quickly—inside, was the
juiciest, most delicious piece of red meat. And luckily, in another box there was a frozen milk treat which looks like
a Christmas tree.
,
The zoo elephants also received some frozen treats—giant ice cream with fruit while the kangaroos had
apples and pears topped with butter. Father Christmas’ helpers would give gifts to each animal. Of course, the
animals enjoyed a good meal.
The bears had some fun as they opened their gifts. They got some fruit and vegetables, while the giant
tortoises enjoyed watermelons which looked like Christmas trees before eating them!
While all the animals had fun, it was the meerkats (狐獴) that seemed to enjoy the day the most. That is
because they received paper toy houses that were packed with their most favourite food in the world—live crickets(蟋蟀)! Great!
26. Why did Father Christmas’ helpers come to the zoo?
A. Because they lived with the animals. B. Because they would like to visit the zoo.
C. Because they wanted to play with animals . D. Because Christmas Day was coming.

Dogs might be able to help fight against cancer (癌症)! Researchers at California’s Pine Street Foundation
(PSF) say they have trained five dogs to smell cancer on a person’s breath. This could be exciting news. If the
cancer is found early enough, there is still time to stop it from getting worse.
Dogs have 20 to 40 times as many smell receptors (嗅觉接收器) as humans do. There are special cells (细胞)
in the nose. Also, a dog’s sense of smell may be 10,000 to 100,000 times stronger than ours. But can dogs really
smell illnesses?
PSF researcher McCulloch and his team asked four healthy people and one with cancer to blow into bottles.
The bottles were then placed in different rooms. Finally, the dogs were asked to smell the bottles.
,
McCulloch says that dogs really can smell illnesses. “We were very surprised by how good they were ” he
told CNN. “They were recognising who had cancer, and they were also saying who didn’t.” Each dog had been
trained for three weeks to sit when it smelled cancer. 99% of the time, the dogs sat next to the bottles with cancer.
No lab test for cancer has given more correct results than this experiment. The results are so amazing that
many experts (专家) question the dogs’ smelling power. They want to know if there were other reasons why the
dogs did so well. For example, how the dogs acted could have depended on the way of training.
However, most experts agree that this study is important. The information could help scientists develop a new
and simple way to deal with cancer in the future. Once again, humans may be getting a helping foot—or nose—
from their best animal friends.
31. Researchers at PSF trained dogs to ________.A. smell cancer B. check the lab test
C. work out the treatment D. develop their sense of smell
32. The underlined word “They” in the fourth paragraph refers to (指代) ________.
A. researchers B. patients C. experts D. dogs
33. What do we know from the passage?
A. Experiment results depend on the number of dogs.
B. Dogs might be able to help with medical problems.
C. Dogs were allowed to smell the bottles in the same room.
D. Researchers have found other reasons why the dogs did so well.
D
FOMO
Everybody knows how important it is for students to get a good night’s sleep every night. You aren’t able to do
your best unless you sleep well. I am sure you’ve already known that you should go to bed at a reasonable time.
Most experts agree that the proper number of hours is eight, and this is accepted as common sense. However, I
know that most of you get much less sleep than that—and sometimes it will have bad effect on your schoolwork.
I read an interesting article in a teacher’s magazine recently. They did a study of 848 students in Wales.
Worryingly, the results showed that teenagers are facing a new problem. They may go to bed and get up at certain
times but a growing number are waking up in the middle of the night, not use the bathroom or have a snack but
because of a new phenomenon (现象): FOMO—fear of missing out!
According to the article, a growing number of schoolchildren wake up during the night to check social media
(媒体). Afraid of missing a comment (评论) or opportunity to take part in a chat, they are waking at all times of the
night, going online and getting involved. All this happens when they should be sound asleep.
Experts are worried about this and the report shows some worrying facts:
●23% of 12 to 15-year-olds wake up nearly every night to use social media. Another 15% wake up at night
once a week for the same reason.
●One in three students often feel tired and unable to work normally.
●Students who use social media during the night are more likely to feel unhappy and stressed.
So, I’d like to ask you to be responsible when it comes to social media. Be brave! Turn off your machines at
night. The world won’t end and your social media will be waiting to greet you in the morning! I give you my word
that you won’t have missed anything important.
34. How long does a teenager need to sleep at night according to most experts?
A. For six hours. B. For seven hours. C. For eight hours. D. For nine hours.35. The study in Wales shows that more and more teenagers ________.
A. go to bed late B. fail to face their problems
C. have sound sleep D. check social media at night
36. Teenagers with FOMO may worry about ________.
A. being left behind by others B. missing their school lessons
C. waking up suddenly at night D. being unable to work normally
37. The passage is written to ________.
A. stress the importance of enough sleep
B. describe a new phenomenon among teenagers
C. advise students to stop using social media at night
D. explain how popular social media is among teenagers

Life in space
Life in space is much different from life on earth. So of course people need some time to get used to it. How
do they live, work and play up there?
Eating. Space food is more like the food we eat here on earth. In the past, astronauts could eat only small
pieces of dried food. But now the space station has water, microwave ovens and iceboxes. So astronauts can eat
more everyday food, like fruits, vegetables and ice cream.
Sleeping. All the people in the ISS have their own rooms. There is no gravity, so they have to tie themselves to
their beds, or they will fly away! That seems like a hard way to sleep, but astronauts say the sleeping in space is
really not too hard.
Exercising. This is more important in space than on earth. There is not much gravity in space. Astronauts
don’t stand up, sit down or walk in space, so they don’t have to work much. They exercise on bikes and other
machines for about two hours every day while they are in space. That way, they can still be strong when they get
back home.
Keeping clean. Easy things like brushing your teeth can be hard in low gravity. Water does not come out of a
tap, and it flies in a bubble! Astronauts use a tube to take a bath. And when they have finished, they use a vacuum
tube to take the dirty water off their bodies. How do they go to the WC in space? They use a special “air WC”. It
uses air, not water, to take everything away.
38. How many differences between life in space and on earth does the writer tell us?
______________________________________________39. Why do astronauts tie themselves to beds while sleeping?
______________________________________________
40. How long do astronauts exercise in space every day?

42. What is the main idea of this passage?
