第一节（共15 小题，每小题2 分，满分30 分）
A
Years ago，many zoos kept all kinds of animals in small cages(笼子). Small cages made it
easy for people to see the animals, but a small cage is not a good place for an animal to live in.
Today zoos keep animals in different kinds of cages. The cages are very big and open. They
usually have plants and a little lake. The cages look like the animals’ habitats(栖息地).
Zoos help to protect all kinds of animals. They protect animals in the zoo and they protect
animals in the wild. How do they do this? Zoos want to teach people how animals live in the wild.
Zoos want people to protect the animals’ habitats.
Many plants and animals are going extinct(灭绝). Mammoths，which are related with Asia
elephants, are now extinct. There are no mammoths in the world today. Scientists say that
seventy-four different kinds of living things go extinct every day!
Zoos are working together to stop animals from going extinct.

There are twice as many giant pandas as before
.
The giant panda is one of the world’s most endangered animals. In fact, it is known all over
the world as the symbol of the World Wildlife Fund(WWF), an international organization that
protects endangered animals.
Here is some good news: the number of giant pandas - China’s most famous animal - is
increasing. The latest facts show that there are now about 1,600 giant pandas living in the wild.
This is twice as many as before. Much of this success is because of the environmental
organizations like the WWF.
At the Giant Panda Breeding and Research Base in Chengdu, scientists work hard to find ways
to look after these special animals. 85% of the world’s giant pandas live in the southwestern hills
and mountains of China. Bamboo forests also grow here. The research center has been built on the
edge of these forests. Its main object is to increase the number of giant pandas. As these young
giant pandas grow up, they are taught the necessary skills bamboo forests to live a normal life.
A giant panda eats as much as 20 kilos of food per day and spends between 12 and 16 hours
eating. So for this program to be successful, more forests that are suitable as habitats for giant
pandas must be found. In April of 2000 about 23,000 square kilometers of forest was chosen in
Sichuan, Shanxi and Gansu Provinces. And five new areas have been named as nature reserves in
the Qinling Mountains. There are now more than 40 areas that protect giant pandas: 37 more than
15 years ago. Still, everyone must continue to work hard to protect one of China’s most important
national treasures - the giant panda.

59.What is the symbol of the WWF?
A .The tiger B.The panda C.The bear D.The rabbit
60. We shouldn’t keep on protecting the giant pandas, should we?
A.Yes,we shouldn’t. B.No,we should.
C.No,we shouldn’t. D.Yes,we should.
C
Different weather makes people feel different. It influences(影响) health, intelligence and
feelings.
In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of America. People there have heart trouble
and other kinds of health problems in this month. In the Northeast and the Middle West,
sometimes it is very hot and in other time it is very cold. People in these states have more heart
trouble after the weather changes in February or March.
The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, in a 1983 report by scientists, the IQs
of a group of students were very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind，
their IQs were 10％ lower. The wind can help people have higher intelligence. Very hot weather,
on the other hand，can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often get
worse on exams in the hot months of the year(July and August).
Weather also has a strong influence on people’s feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin
people. They usually feel cold in these months. They might feel unhappy in cold weather. But fat
people may have a hard time in hot summer. At about 18℃, people become stronger.
Low air pressure may make people forgetful. People leave more bags on buses and in shops on
low-air-pressure days. There is a “good weather” for intelligence and health. People feel best at a
temperature of about 18℃.
Are you feeling sad, tired, forgetful, or unhappy today? It may be the weather’s problem.
61.This passage tells us it’s ______ in the southern part of America in August.
A. hot and wet B. hot and dry
C.dry and windy D. cool and rainy
62.The underlined word “intelligence” in the passage means “______ ”in Chinese.
A.财富 B.记忆 C.智力 D.生活
63.From the passage we can inform that people may be ill more often when _______.
A.the weather is hot and wet B.the weather changes greatly
C.the weather is warm D.the weather is always cold
64.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Thin people might feel tired in cold weather.
B.Fat people may feel hard at about 18℃.
C.A person may have a worse memory on high-air-pressure days.
D.Students in America often do worse in exams on very hot days.

A.a newspaper B.an advertisement
