The Best Zoos in the World
Catching sight of your favorite animals up close can be an exciting experience. Many zoos provide the
opportunity for people to learn about the global environment and work to help preserve critical species for
generations to come.
San Diego Zoo - San Diego, California
The San Diego Zoo has long been considered one of the best zoos in the world. The zoo, which opened its
doors in 1916, covers across 100 acres and is home to more than 12,000 rare and endangered animals. Guests can
take part in a number of educational programs, knowing a part of their ticket goes toward various conservation
programs.
Chester Zoo - England, U.K
The Chester Zoo is yet another large space with a rich conservation program(and it happens to be the most-
visited zoo in the U. K.). The zoo is home to more than 20,000 animals and works to educate every guest on not
only their conservation programs but how individuals can take action.
Alaska Zoo - Anchorage, Alaska
The Alaska Zoo is one of the smaller ones to make this global list, but for a good reason. The Alaska Zoo
specializes in local animals, including brown bears, bald eagles, moose, hawks, harbor seals, and more. It is a
registered nonprofit devoted to promoting the conservation of Arctic and sub-Arctic species.
Tiergarten Schonbrunn - Vienna, Austria
The Tiergarten Schonbrunn in Vienna has the distinct honor of being the world’s oldest zoo. It also happens to
be one of the best zoos in the world thanks to its various rare animal exhibits along with its captive breeding
program that’s helping to save dozens of at-risk species, and its rich species protection program in the wild.

Debra Dolan was 21 and on her first trip alone when she first sent a postcard to herself. It was 1979, and
Dolan, who grew up in central Canada, was visiting Vancouver for the first time. She was immediately blown away
by the city’s beauty.
Although she was usually an enthusiastic diarist, Dolan was swept up in the excitement of the trip, and found
she barely had a free moment. “I thought, ‘I don’t have time to write in my journal.’ And I didn’t travel with a
camera,” Dolan said. “So when I went to Vancouver Island, or saw places in Vancouver, I determined, ‘I’ll just send
a postcard to myself.’”
On the back of each card, Dolan wrote a paragraph or two about her impressions, thoughts and feelings, and
then mailed it to her home address. Some 10 days later, Dolan returned home to a pile of postcards from herself.
Receiving them, said Dolan, was “an absolute joy.”
“After I’d come to Vancouver, I realized, ‘Well, it’s easy to travel. And it’s easy to travel alone. I don’t have to
be nervous about this,’” said Dolan. So she decided exploring the world was her first priority. From there, Dolan
traveled on to Australia. Then she stayed on the road for months, traveling around the globe and writing postcards
to herself.
Over about forty years, 64-year-old Dolan has sent hundreds of postcards to herself from trips across the
world. Amazingly, they’ve all arrived. “They really tell me about—not only where I’ve been, but who I was that
day,” said Dolan, who said looking over the postcard collection inspired her to reflect on “the experiences I’ve been
able to have.”
For Dolan, the postcards to herself capture (捕捉) a moment and help enjoy it. “Those special moments in
your life are uniquely yours. We may all see the same thing on our travels. But our experience of that day is alldifferent,” said Dolan.
4．What do the underlined words “blown away” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
A．Surrounded. B．Attracted. C．Connected. D．Attached.
5．What did Dolan decide to do when seeing Vancouver’s beauty?
A．Keep a diary. B．Give up writing. C．Take some photos. D．Send herself a postcard.
6．How did the trip to Vancouver affect Dolan?
A．It awakened her love for travel. B．It made her an enthusiastic diarist.
C．She was afraid of traveling alone. D．She never took a camera along.
7．What can we know from paragraph 5?
A．Some postcards failed to reach Dolan. B．Dolan stopped traveling due to her old age.
C．The postcards bring Dolan many memories. D．Dolan sent others postcards across the world.

Is it true that British people have a better sense of humor than people in other countries? Let’s have a look at
what we laugh at in Britain.
To the British, powerful and important people are often sources of laughter, not just politicians who make us
chuckle but anyone whose job is to tell people what to do and who takes themselves too seriously.
We laugh at authority but also, sympathetically (同情地), with anyone who is treated badly. We know they
can’t win, but if they do so sometimes, it’s even funnier. Our clowns are often silly people doing silly things--Mr
Bean, for example--while in America, they are often clever people doing clever things--and winning.
The fact that we laugh when other people might feel hopeless is one of the oddest things to appreciate about
British humor. We do have a strong sense of irony(反讽). “Not very pleasant,” we might say after some terrible
experience. Together with this is our love of understatement (轻描淡写).“It’s a bit windy today,” we might say in
the middle of a typhoon, or “ there is a slight problem,” when something has gone very seriously wrong. This is
related to the old-fashioned British expression “stiff upper lip”. Don’t express extreme feelings, just “just keep calm
and carry on.”
Another thing that can make it difficult to understand British humor is that we don’t always laugh or even
smile when say something funny. We often keep a straight face or use an unsmiling deadpan(面无表情) expression,
even when we’re making a joke. Do you think the British sense of humor is unique?
8．Where does the writer probably come from ?A．America B．Britain C．China D．It isn’t mentioned.
9．Of the following sayings, which one is not about British humor?
A．Irony
B．Understatement.
C．Clever people doing clever things.
D．They laugh when other people might feel hopeless.
10．Which expression tells us to keep calm and carry on?
A．Not very pleasant. B．It’s a bit windy today.
C．There is a slight problem. D．Stiff upper lip.
11．What does the writer think of British humor?
A．Funny. B．Powerful. C．Difficult. D．Easy.

An AI has designed anti-microbial (抗菌的) proteins that were then tested in real life and shown to work.
Proteins are made of chains of amino acids (氨基酸). The sequencest (序列) of those acids determine the
protein’s shape and function. Ali Madani at Profluent, a biotechnology start-up in California, and his colleagues
used an AI to design millions of new proteins, and then created a small sample of those to test whether they
worked.
The AI, called ProGen, works in a similar way to AIs that can generate text. ProGen learned how to generate
new proteins by learning the grammar of how amino acids combine to form 280 million existing proteins. Instead
of choosing a topic for the AI to write about, the researchers could specify a group of similar proteins for it to focus
on. In this case, they chose a group of proteins with anti-microbial activity.
The researchers programmed checks into the AI’s process, and they also tested a sample of the AI-proposed
molecules in real cells. Of the 100 molecules they physically created, 66 participated in chemical reactions similar
to those of natural proteins that destroy bacteria. This suggested that these new proteins could also kill bacteria.
The researchers then imaged them with X-rays. Even though their amino acid sequences were up to 30 percent
different from any existing proteins, their shapes almost matched naturally occurring proteins. James Fraser at the
University of California, San Francisco, who was part of the team, says it was not clear from the start that the AI
could work out how to change the amino acid sequence so much and still produce the correct shape.
“A similar process could be used to create new test molecules for drug development, though they will still
have to be tested in labs, which is time-consuming,” says Madani.12．How does ProGen produce anti-microbial proteins?
A．By following the way amino acids form proteins.
B．By combining several kinds of existing proteins.
C．By changing some materials from new medicines.
D．By mixing several current proteins with amino acids.
13．How did the researchers know AI-proposed proteins could kill bacteria?
A．They ensured they were produced in real cells.
B．They only analyzed their amino acid sequences.
C．They found they looked the same as natural ones.
D．They tested AI-proposed molecules in real cells.
14．What is James Fraser’s feeling concerning the AI’s final performance?
A．Disappointment. B．Surprise. C．Indifference. D．Guilt.
15．What do Madani’s words suggest?
A．The AI’s process may benefit the medical field.
B．AI-proposed molecules don’t require any lab tests.
C．Hope for the use of the new molecules is very slim.
D．The researchers’ efforts turn out to be a waste of time.

Do you like cheeseburgers and French fries? How about dumplings or tacos? 16 That’s pretty much
what you have to do these days when takeout food is delivered, since so many restaurants now close their bags with
staples (订书钉).
17 We can rest confident that no one else has access to our meal before it arrives. But surely the use of
tape (胶带), which many restaurants do choose instead, is much safer than staples. The latter are pulled into a bare
and sharp position when a bag is opened, exposing lots of little teeth that find and surprise your wrist, hand or
fingers. Ouch! Not to mention a wound from a staple is not only painful, but likely to get infected as well.
Furthermore, staples, being made of steel, are hardly environmentally friendly. And they pose yet another
danger. 18 Believe me, you don’t want to eat a staple, especially not an open one.
What’s more, the open staple that we’re lucky enough to avoid when eagerly reaching into a bag of food poses
a danger to anyone who handles the bag after we throw it away. 19
Why don’t we put an end to this practice and ensure that rice and bread remain our only “staple foods”, andnot French fries?
20
A．But pain and misfortune awaits those who are not so fortunate.
B．Let’s get rid of the fast-food monster and just use tape to close the deal.
C．They can fall into food such as French fries and accidentally be consumed.
D．Do you like any of them enough to reach into a shark’s mouth to get them out?
E．The intention is good, because securely closing the bag helps ensure food safety.
F．How many millions of the tiny staples are introduced each day into the food chain?
G．And if we remove the staples before recycling a bag, it can also be time-consuming.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
There is a story from many years ago of a primary school teacher. Her name was Rose.
On the first day of school, as Rose looked out over her new fifth grade class, her attention was immediately
drawn to two boys, Mark and Charlie. Mark had a high energy that filled the room, his voice echoing even in casual
conversations. He laughed loudest and answered questions with enthusiasm that was impossible to ignore. Charlie,
Mark’s partner-in-crime, had a naughty grin and a twinkle in his eyes. Together, they were perfect.
While Mark would command attention with his tales, Charlie would comment cleverly, making the whole
class burst into laughter. Rose could already tell that these two would keep her on her toes. She smiled to herself,
though, ready for an eventful year ahead. She knew she had to find a way to channel their energy positively, turning
their enthusiasm into a driving force for learning.
One day, Rose had a unique assignment for her students. She asked them to list each classmate's name on two
sheets, leaving gaps between. Next, she instructed them to write down the nicest thing they could think of for each
student. The assignment consumed the whole period. As they left, each student handed in their papers.
Over the weekend, Rose wrote down the name of each student on a separate sheet of paper, creating individual
lists for every student. On Monday, she handed out the lists. Soon, happiness spread across the room. Mark, known
for his naughty behavior, looked astonished. “I had no idea I mattered to anyone,” he whispered, visibly moved.
Beside him, Charlie, Mark’s partner- in-crime, said similarly.“I never realized others thought so highly of me.”
No one ever mentioned those lists in class again. Rose never found out if they discussed them after class or
with their parents, but it didn't matter.
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。
The atmosphere in the classroom shifted, especially Mark and Charlie.
