Nowadays there's a general discussion on zoos among people. These two students write
their different ideas on a newspaper.
Zoos Do a Good Job------ Maria Smith
I know a large number of people think it is not wise to keep animals in zoos. ___51__ , I
believe that it is good to keep animals in zoos.
Firstly, zoos are places for people to see many different kinds or animals from all over the
world. ___52____zoos, most people would never see a real bear or tiger.
Secondly, zoos ___53___the animals very well. The animals are given food and cleaned
regularly. In the wild (野外) , it is not always easy for an animal to find food, so sometimes it
goes___54____. But animals kept in zoos never suffer from hunger.
Thirdly, zoos protect the animals they take care of. They ___55___them safe places to live
in. In the wild, some kinds of animals are in danger of' becoming extinct (灭绝) . But zoos
give these animals a chance to live. There would be fewer kinds of animals in the world if
there were no zoos.
Zoos Are Unnatural ------Philip Black
In my opinion, zoos are not good for animals; they are only good for people.It is not natural and 56 to keep wild animals in cages. Most animals are kept in cages
that are too small for them. In the wild, these animals would travel __57__. In zoos, they can't
do this. This is why the bears and tigers always look so sad. '
Most cages are not very clean, either. It is true that zoos give the animals food regularly, but
this is not natural. Wild animals _ 58 looking for their own food. We should treat animals
in the same way that we treat other people----with respect.
Would anyone be happy if you don't let him go outside his home? Would Maria like to have
lots of people standing outside her flat looking at her? No, she wouldn’t. And animals don't
like it, either.

gives you too much homework, when your team loses an important game, when your friend b
__86__ your favourite thing and then breaks it, you may get really angry.
[来源:学科网ZXXK]

f__87__, your face turns red and you may want to break something or hit someone, but
sometimes, you hide your anger. For example, you may hide it in your h__88___ . The
problem is that if you do this, you may get a headache or your stomach may hurt.
In fact, it's not good to hide your anger, and it's normal for you to get angry sometimes. But
anger must be let out in the right way, without hurting o_ 89 _or yourself. Let me give you
some advice.
When you get angry, you can talk about it with other people. It's helpful to talk about your
anger with other people, such as p___90____, teachers, good friends etc. When you talk about
anger, those b___91___feelings can start to go away. On the other hand, when you start to

good things, etc.
Don't let your anger c 92 you. Remember that how you act when you are anger can
make everything better or worse.
D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题): ( 12分)
Your Nose is Busy and Important
Your nose has many important jobs, and is always busy.
Smelling
Smelling helps you gather information about the world around you. A good scent (气
体),like flowers, brings you pleasure. A bad scent, like smoke or sour milk, warns you ofdanger. Most things around you release scent particles (微粒) into the air. These invisible
chemicals enter the nose when you breathe. Nerves in the nose send information to the brain
to identify a smell. You are able to recognize thousands of smells.
Breathing
Most of the air you breathe enters through your nose. The nose uses hair and mucus (粘液)
to clean dust and germs (细菌) out of the air. The air that enters your nose contains oxygen.
Your body uses oxygen to unlock the energy in the food you eat. Even when you sleep, your
body needs energy to keep your heart beating and your brain working.
Tasting
Your nose helps you enjoy food. Flavor is a mixture of taste and smell. The smell of the
food helps you identify what you are eating. The sense of smell contributes more to (贡献)
food flavor than the sense of taste .When you are sick and have a stuffy nose, your food
doesn’t taste as good because without smell, food loses most of its flavor.
Smell memory
Smells can bring back memories. Your brain uses a process to create a picture in your mind
from the odors(气味)you smell. Smells can affect your feelings because the part of the brain
that helps you identify smells is close to the area that affects your emotions, mood and
memory. More smell memories are collected as you get older.
Your nose has many important jobs, and is more than just a smeller!
93. How many important jobs does a nose do according to the passage? What are they?
94. Smelling helps you recognize thousands of smells, doesn't it?
95. What does the nose use to clean dust and germs out of air?
96. What happens to your food if you are sick and have a stuffy nose?
97. How do smells bring back memories?
98. What do you think of your nose? Why do you think so?
VII. Writing (作文): (共20分)
99. Write at least 60 words about the topic 'My Opinion on Having Lessons at
Weekends’.
（以“双休日上课之我见一为题写一篇不少于60个词的短文，标点符号不占格。）

D. Listen to the passage and complete the following sentences 4
These days, most people in Britain and the US do not dress formally. But sometimes it is
important to wear the right things.
Many British people don't think about clothes very much. They just like to be
comfortable. When they go out to enjoy themselves, they can wear almost anything. At
theatres, cinemas, and concerts you can put on what you like from beautiful suits and dresses
to jeans and sweaters. Anything goes, as long as you look clean and tidy.
But in Britain, as Well as in the US, men in offices usually wear suits and ties, and women
wear dresses or skirts(not trousers). Doctors, lawyers, and business people wear formal
clothes. And in some hotels and restaurants men have to wear ties and women wear tidy
dresses.
In many ways, Americans are less formal than British people, but they are careful with
their clothes. At home, or on holidays, most Americans wear informal or sports clothes. But
when they go out in the evening, they like to look nice. In hotels and restaurants, men have to
wear jackets and ties, and women wear pretty clothes.
It is difficult to say exactly what people wear in Britain and the US, because everyone is
different. If you are not sure what to wear, watch what other people do and then dress the
same. You will feel more comfortable if you don't look too different from everyone else.
