But unlike the zoo’s other residents, they are not real animals. These creatures are actually huge sculptures and they’re made entirely out of plastic trash from the ocean.‎ ‎ These giant artworks, along with 14 others, are part of a traveling exhibit called “Washed Ashore: Art to Save the Sea”. The Washed Ashore project, led by artist Angela Haseltine Pozzi, works to raise awareness about the problem of plastic pollution in Earth’s oceans.‎ More than 315 billion pounds of plastic litter the world’s oceans today. Most of the plastic is garbage from towns and cities, as well as trash that people leave on beaches. rainwater, winds, and high tides bring the trash into the ocean or into rivers that lead to the ocean. Once it is under the waves, the plastic begins to break up into smaller and smaller ‎ pieces. It often collects in spots called garbage patches, which spread over large areas of the ocean.‎ Thousands of marine animals--including whales, sea turtles, and fish--die each year from eating or getting stuck in plastic bags and other items. Plastic pieces can also injure coral and kill sea grass.‎ Washed Ashore and other organizations are working to stop that from happening. Since 2010, Washed Ashore volunteers have collected 38,000 pounds of plastic trash from more than 3000 miles of beaches. They helped Pozzi create more than 60 sculptures of marine creatures that were harmed by plastic pollution.‎ The artworks on display at the National Zoo include a 20-foot-long coral reef, a 12-foot-long shark, and a 16-foot-long parrot fish. Each one is made from hundreds of pieces of trash like water bottles and sunglasses.‎ ‎“These sculptures are a powerful reminder of our personal role and global responsibility in preserving biodiversity(生物多样性) on land and in the sea,” says Dennis Kelly, director of the National Zoo.‎ ‎4. Why is Angela exhibiting her sculptured animal?‎ A. To prove her talent in sculpture. ‎ B. To attract most visitors to the zoo.‎ C. To care about the plastic pollution in seas. ‎ D. To teach the people the use of plastic.‎ ‎5.What is stressed in Para. 3 according to the text?‎ A. Why plastic is difficult to break up.‎ B. What problems plastic litter causes.‎ C. Where plastic pieces go at last.‎ D. How garbage patches are formed.‎ ‎6.Which of the following best describe Dennis Kelly’s attitude to Pozzi’s sculpture?‎ A. Doubtful B. Supportive ‎ C. Negative. D. Indifferent ‎ C Filmmaker Jennifer Nelson had to pay $1,500 to have “Happy Birthday to You” sung in ‎ the movie she’s making. The money went to Warner Music Group, a company that claims to own the copyright on the song. A copyright is the legal right to use or sell a creative product such as a song, a TV show, a book, or a work of art. Warner has claimed the copyright for “Happy Birthday to You” since 1988.‎ ‎“I never thought the song was owned by anyone,” Nelson said in an e-mail to The New York Times. “I thought it belonged to everyone.”‎ Nelson’s movie is a documentary — a film that uses pictures and/or interviews with people to create a factual report of real-life events — and is actually about the history of the “Happy Birthday” song itself.‎ Two sisters named Mildred and Patty Hill wrote a song called “Good Morning to All” in 1893. Over a short period of time, people began to sing the words “happy birthday to you” in place of the original lyrics to the tune of the Hill sisters’ song.‎ A number of history experts say that there is no record of who actually wrote the “Happy Birthday to You” lyrics. Historians also say there is no way to know when the general public began singing the “Happy Birthday” song, but they believe it was being sung by the public long before it was printed and owned by a company.‎ Nelson’s lawyers say this piece of music’s history proves that “Happy Birthday to You” belongs to everyone in the general public. That would mean Warner Music Group has no right to charge anyone a fee to sing the song in any setting.‎ Experts estimate that Warner/ Chappell, the publishing division of the Warner Music Group, has made about $2 million a year from licensing fees for “Happy Birthday to You.”‎ Nelson’s lawyers are asking a court in New York City to order Warner/Chappell to return fees they have collected over the past four years for use of the “Happy Birthday” song.‎ ‎7.Jennifer Nelson had to pay Warner Music Group to ____________.‎ A. own the copyright on a song B. have a song sung in her movie C. have it play a song in her movie D. have it write a song for her movie ‎8.The history experts’ statement can prove that the “Happy Birthday” song ____________.‎ A. has always been very popular ‎ B. has more than 200 years’ history C. does not belong to Warner Music Group ‎ D. was initially owned by another company ‎9.According to Nelson’s lawyers, to sing the “Happy Birthday” song, people ____________.‎ A. should pay the Hill sisters ‎ B. need not pay for any purpose C. should pay Warner Music Group ‎ D. need not pay except for commercial use ‎10. If the court supports Nelson’s lawyers’ claim, ____________‎ A. Warner will return about $8 million B. she can obtain the copyright on the song C. Warner will have to pay her for her damages D. she only needs to pay a little money to use the song 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ The Lost Rules of Etiquette ‎ Etiquette, or good manners, used to be the glue that held society together. 11. Sadly, these days it has mostly gone by the wayside. This list is several best rules of etiquette that have now disappeared.‎ ‎ Opening the Door ‎ In days gone by, a gentleman would always open doors for ladies. 12 This has now almost entirely disappeared-- and it is pot entirely the fault of the men. I have seen women laugh at men for opening a door for them. They seem to be confusing manners with chauvinism(大男子主义)．‎ ‎ Writing Thank-You Notes ‎ In days gone by, whenever a person received a gift, they would write a thank-you note as soon as possible. 13 Parents would sit children down after a birthday or Christmas and coach them in their first thank-you note. It is a shame that gift giving has now become a virtual obligation and the idea of a thank-you note would be laughed at.‎ ‎ 14 ‎ ‎ We seem to have completely lost the concept of correct timing when it comes to parties these days. 15 After all, a party normally has a guest of honor-this is usually the oldest woman present. It was considered extremely rude in the past to leave a party before the guest of honor-and once the guest of honor left, it was a signal to all that they should begin their own preparations to leave.‎ A. Arriving on Time.‎ B. Leaving at the Right Time.‎ C. People leave with various excuses.‎ D. It enabled people to get on well with each other.‎ E. This rule was true even if the giver was a relative.‎ F. It could be the lady they were driving, or a stranger.‎ G. We've thrown away the concept of a guest of honor at will.‎ 第三节 完形填空（共20小题；每题1.5分，满分30分）‎ We have all heard of giant pandas, and know that they are endangered.

Researchers use the mirror recognition test to 21 whether children or animals have a 22 of self-awareness.‎ In the test, an animal is presented 23 a mirror. Researchers then watch to see 24 it notices a mark on its face, which is only 25 in the mirror. If the animal notices the mark, it often 26 it. Human children often pass the test when they are only two years old.‎ Many other animals have passed the mirror test, including monkeys, Asian elephants and even pigeons. But when researchers tested pandas, 27 of them did the same thing as those animals did. 28 , each panda behaved as if their 29 in the mirror was another panda altogether. They acted as if they were 30 by what they saw in the mirror, scratching their feet and walking 31 .‎ The 32 of this research will help design better areas for animals in captivity (圈养). For example, one-directional glass sometimes used in the areas may 33 pandas to feel ‎ stressed when they see their own image in the 34 .
