However, one tiger, which lives in an English zoo, turned out to be more cowardly（胆小的）than his keepers could ever have imagined.‎ Tanvir, a two-year-old Bengal tiger, got stuck at the top of a new ‎5m-high activity tower in the zoo, after climbing it for the first time.‎ The wooden tower had been designed to provide mental exercise for Tanvir by testing his ability of dealing with troublesome situations, but after climbing it in just a few seconds, he lost his courage when it came to coming back down. Tanvir went on to spend nearly two days at the top of the tower trying to collect the courage to attempt to get down.‎ A spokesperson for the zoo said that several days before Tanvir had taken half an hour to get down a lower tower only ‎1.5m high, and the taller tower had clearly been too much challenging for him.‎ ‎"Every time he got to the edge, he looked out, put a paw over, and thought, ‘no, I cannot make it!" ’laughed Samantha Cordrey, Tanvir's keeper. In the end Tanvir's hunger defeated his fear, and after almost 48 hours he made his way down. Burying himself in a big meal just like a hungry pig, Tanvir seemed to forget such a shameful experience for a while.‎ It appears that his experience would not be the worst in Tanvir's life if he continued to act like a chicken. It is not known whether he will take courage to go back up his exercise tower again.‎ The whole episode（插曲）only serves to show the difficulties faced by zoo staff in creating environments that will improve animals' living ability in enclosed space.‎ ‎24. When speaking of Tanvir's shameful experience, Samantha Cordrey might feel it was .‎ A. funny B. surprising C. exciting D. unbelievable ‎25. What made Tanvir get down the ‎5m-high activity tower at last?‎ A. The coldness of the weather. B. The direction from his keepers.‎ C. The sufferings of being hungry. D. The fear of being alone.‎ ‎26. Why does the author say "this experience would not be the worst in Tanvir's life if..."(Paragraph 6)?‎ A. Because Tanvir's keepers will design more difficult exercise for him.‎ B. Because Tanvir is so cowardly that he has little courage to meet greater challenges.‎ C. Because Tanvir's bad health will bring him much trouble in practice.‎ D. Because Tanvir is always careless and often causes trouble by accident.‎ ‎27. The zoo designed the ‎5m-high activity tower to .‎ A. make Tanvir become brave B. improve Tanvir's performance skills C. let tourists watch Tanvir better D. improve Tanvir's living ability C Warford is an optometrist (验光师) in Florida. He has seen an increase in “computer vision ‎ syndrome(电脑视力综合症)”in children. “A lot more children come into the office either because their parents have noticed that they have headaches or red or watery eyes or discomfort, or because their nearsightedness appears to be increasing and they’re worried，” he says.‎ Dr. Watford says part of the problem is that children may be more likely to pay no attention to early warning signs than adults. “Even if their eyes start to feel uncomfortable or they start to get a headache, they’re less likely to tell their parents, because they don’t want to have the game or whatever taken away，” he explains.‎ He says another part of the problem is that people blink(眨眼)less often when they use digital devices. He says, “A person who uses an electronic device blinks about one third as much as we normally do in everyday life. And that can result in the front part of the eye drying and not staying protected like normal.”‎ Eye doctors offer suggestions like the 20/20/20 rule. That means every twenty minutes look away twenty feet or more for at least twenty seconds from whatever device you’re using.‎ Other suggestions include using good lighting and spending less time looking at screens. Many experts say children should spend no more than two hours a day using digital devices—with no screen time for children under two.‎ But not all eye doctors have noticed an increase in problems in children. Dr. David Hunter, for instance, says, “While it is possible to develop fatigue looking at screens for a long time, there’s certainly no proof that it actually causes any damage to the eyes.” ‎ ‎28．Which of the following is true according to the passage?‎ ‎ A．Dr. Warford thinks using computers causes nearsightedness.‎ B．People keep their eyes protected against drying by blinking normally.‎ C．The 20/20/20 rule doesn’t apply to all the devices you are using.‎ D．Children under two can watch TV for less than two hours a day.‎ ‎29．The syndrome in children is more likely serious than in adults because ________．‎ A．adults are cleverer than children ‎ B．adults ignore taking care of children C．children always overlook early warning signs ‎ D．children always forget their parents’ words ‎30．What does the underlined word “fatigue” mean in the last paragraph?‎ A．interest. B．ability. C．difficulty. D． tiredness.‎ ‎31. What can be the best title for the passage?‎ A．Looking at Screen: Two Hours or More B．How Can Children Use Their Eyes Properly C．Using Digital Devices: Advantages and Disadvantages D．How Much Screen Time Is Proper for Children ‎ D ‎ There is a cry of anger, and a tennis racket crashes to the ground. Jake, age 7, has just lost another match and is now in tears beside the court. His sister Sally, just one year older, looks at her mother and rolls her eyes: it is hard to enjoy winning when this keeps happening. It is not an unusual situation, and it is one reason why many people argue that competition is bad for children. However, the truth is that competitive games are a valuable preparation for adult life.‎ Games with winners and losers give children the chance to experience life’s ups and downs. Take Jake, for example. Even though he is unhappy now, he will probably be smiling and laughing with his sister in a few minutes, just like the last time this happened. Gradually, he will learn that the world does not end when you lose a game. Eventually, he may even be able to lose with a smile on his face. This is an important lesson. Not everything in life goes the way you would like, and it is important to know how to handle disappointment when it occurs.‎ ‎ Children who participate in competitive games develop qualities that allow them to succeed in the complex world of adult life. For example, one of the missions of the Youth Olympic Games is to inspire young people to adopt the Olympic values, which include striving, determination and optimism. Competition creates a desire to do better. Children have to learn to succeed in a competitive atmosphere in order to take advantage of opportunities in the future. Although it is possible to win by chance occasionally, people who win and keep winning work very hard to achieve their success.‎ On the negative side, there are those who will say that competition actually encourages some values, which does happen. It is common to see sports competition in which the desire to win has replaced the desire to have fun. You may even see very young children playing violently----like the superstars they see on TV. While the bad behavior of young athletes is troubling, the problem is not the competition itself. In reality, the blame lies with the professional players who are bad role models for these children. In fact, a recent study of young athletes by the school of Physical Health Education at the University‎ of ‎Wyoming showed an improvement in mood after exercise, athletes were less depressed or tense.‎ Of course, there are parents who argue that children of Jake’s age are too young to handle the pain of losing. But whether we like it or not, adult life is very competitive, and keeping children away from competition does them more harm than good. If children do not learn how to compete, they will be defeated by people who can. It is an unfortunate fact of life: whether ten or a hundred people want the same job, there can be only one winner. Wouldn’t you want your child to be that person?‎ 32. Competitive games prepare children for their adult life by_______‎ A. enabling them to know to handle life’s ups and downs ‎ B. allowing them to succeed in the complex world of adult life ‎ C. Ending their feeling about the world when they lose D. Helping them to smile even when they are disappointed ‎ ‎33. The example of the Youth Olympics is meant to illustrate that_______ ‎ A. Competitions develop children’s qualities to succeed in their future life B. the Olympic Values should be promoted among young people C. Taking advantages of future opportunities makes one desire to do better ‎ D. Only by working hard to keep winning can one achieve true success ‎34. Which really counts in sports competitions according to Paragraph 4?‎ A. The desire to win B. The desire to have fun C. Good role models D. An improvement in mood ‎35. The author suggests to the parents that_______‎ A. They should learn how to handle pain of losing B. Children should know earlier the competitive adult life ‎ C. They shouldn’t keep children away from competition ‎ D. They should encourage their children to get the job 第二节（共5小题；每题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。‎ Playing a musical instrument can be a fun and rewarding hobby. It’s a good way to express feelings and develop confidence in your abilities. _36_ Here are a few questions to help you decide.‎ What kind of music do you like?‎ What you are interested in will encourage you to play. _37_ Traditional orchestra musical instruments are what you hear in classical music. Modem music calls for modem instruments, like electric guitars.‎ Where are you going to practice?‎ ‎_38_ Think about where and when you are going to practice, as well as the patience of the people you live with or near. Some instruments like the guitar give you the chance of playing in the night using earphones, while your housemates sleep in peace. Also, you may need to consider going to a school or a ‎ music center to practice.‎ ‎_39_‎ This is quite a big problem. A lot of instruments can be bought in different price ranges. But this doesn’t change the fact that many instruments, such as the piano, are always expensive. If you can’t afford your chosen instrument，will you be able to borrow someone else’s?‎ Are there any physical limitations?‎ If you are small and don’t like lifting heavy objects，you won’t want to carry around a cello (大提琴). If you don’t have great lung power, think twice about the saxophone. _40_ But remember that with the right coaching, everyone can develop the right skills.‎ A. How much money can you spend?‎舒中高二统考英语 第8页（共10页）‎ B. How easy will it be to find a teacher?‎ C. Don’t let your physical shortcomings put you off.‎ D. A piece of music might move you more than another.‎ E. Talk to people who already play musical instruments.‎ F. Practicing the drums, for example, will drive your neighbors crazy.‎ G. If you want to learn a musical instrument, you might face a problem: what to play?‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完型填空 （共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） ‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ ‎“Mama, when I grow up, I’m going to be one of those!” I said this after seeing the Capital Dancing Company perform when I was three.
