Each year there is an increasing number of cars on roads and streets, as millions of new cars are produced. One not of every six Americans work at putting together the parts of cars, driving trucks, building roads or filling cars with gas.‎ Most Americans find it hard to think what life would be without a car. However, some have realized the serious problem of air pollution by cars. The polluted air is poisonous and dangerous to health.‎ One way to get rid of the polluted air is to design a new car that does not pollute. That’s what several large car factories are trying to do. But to build the new car is easier said than done. Progress in this field has been slow.‎ Another way is to take place of the car engine by something else. Engineers are now working on some new cars. Many makers believe that it will take years to develop a practical model that pleases man.‎ To prevent the world from being polluted by cars, we’ll have to make some changes in the way many of us live. Americans, for example, have to cut down the number of their cars they are encouraged to travel and go to work by bike. Riding a bike is thought to help keep the air clean.‎ But this change does not come easily. A large number of workers may find themselves with no jobs if a car factory closes down. And the problem of air pollution would become less important than that of unemployment.‎ ‎24．How many ways to get rid of air pollution are suggested in this article by the writer?‎ ‎ A．One. B．Two. C．Three. D．Four.‎ ‎25．Large car factories are trying to build a clean car, .‎ ‎ A．which does not pollute the air B．which is used to clean streets ‎ C．which is clean itself D．which is easier to make ‎26．If the number of cars is cut down, the most serious problem in American workers is .‎ ‎ A．to go to work by bike B．to keep the air clean ‎ C．to get a better life D． to have no work to do ‎27．What is the conclusion of the writer?‎ ‎ A．Bicycling is the only way out.‎ ‎ B．Cars bring us not only a better life but serious problems.‎ ‎ C．Cars bring us nothing but serious problems.‎ ‎ D．The number of cars must be cut down.‎ C Father was diagnosed with brain cancer during the second half of my senior year. It is a time when all the big events in a girl’s life were happening. However, though in poor condition, father managed to be present at every occasion. His doctor said that by focusing on all my future events, it helped my dad live longer. I guess so because nine days after my high school graduation, my father died.‎ For the next week after his funeral, I didn't leave my room or even to shower. Finally, my mom stormed in and said, “Megan, get up. I have something for you to read.” My father’s doctor had sent my mother a letter. It contained the typical “I am sorry for your loss “sentences. But this letter was far from typical. I could physically see the pain this loss had caused him. In his letter, he wrote about how my father inspired him to change his life and the way he worked. He expressed his desire to become a person like my father, who cared more for the people around him and put everyone else first.‎ After I finished reading it, I decided to live my life. I went outside and got a job as a summer camp adviser. I worked from dawn to dark everyday that summer. I gave everything I had to the kids and slowly they helped to heal me without even realizing what they were doing.‎ My summer mirrored parts of the life my father led in his last few days. I had spent the summer months giving myself to children. It was not the senior summer I had always imagined. It wasn’t all about me. I had learned the final lesson my father was teaching me, that in order to lead a rich and happy life, you must learn how to give yourself to others. By helping them you really are helping yourself.‎ ‎28．Why did the doctor send the author’s mother a letter? ‎ A.To show typical concern for her family. B. To encourage her to live a happy life. ‎ C.To appreciate her husband’s influence on him. D. To mourn her husband’s death.‎ ‎29. What do we know about the author' s senior summer?‎ A. She gained quite a lot while helping the kids.‎ B. She worked hard every day to forget her father.‎ C. She spent it the way she had always wanted. ‎ D. She got a job as her father had expected.‎ ‎30. Which word can best describe the author’s father?‎ A. Fearless. B. Cautious. C. Selfless D. Wise.‎ ‎31. Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?‎ A. My Senior Summer B. Dad’s Final Lesson ‎ C. My Father’s Death D. An Important Letter ‎ D ‎ How could we possibly think that keeping animals in cages in unnatural environments－mostly for entertainment purposes－is fair and respectful?‎ ‎ Zoo officials say they are concerned about animals. However, most zoos remain “collections” of interesting “things” rather than protective habitats. Zoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals bored, lonely, and far from their natural homes.‎ ‎ Zoos claim(声称) to educate people and save endangered species, but visitors leave zoos without having learned anything meaningful about the animals’ natural behavior, intelligence, or beauty. Zoos keep animals in small spaces or cages, and most signs ‎ only mention the species’ name, diet, and natural range (分布区). The animals’ normal behavior is seldom noticed because zoos don’t usually take care of the animals’ natural needs.‎ ‎ The animals are kept together in small spaces, with no privacy（隐私） and little opportunity for mental and physical exercise. This results in unusual and self-destructive behavior called zoochosis. A worldwide study of zoos found that zoochosis is common among animals kept in small spaces or cages. Another study showed that elephants spend 22 percent of their time making repeated head movements or biting cage bars, and bears spend 30 percent of their time walking back and forth, a sign of unhappiness and pain. Furthermore, most animals in zoos are not endangered. Captive breeding (圈养繁殖) of endangered big cats, Asian elephants, and other species has not resulted in their being sent back to the wild. Zoos talk a lot about their captive breeding programs because they do not want people to worry about a species dying out. In fact, baby animals also attract a lot of paying customers. Haven’t we seen enough competitions to name baby animals?‎ ‎ Actually, we will save endangered species only if we save their habitats and put an end to the reasons people kill them. Instead of supporting zoos, we should support groups that work to protect animals’ natural habitats.‎ ‎32. In the state of zoochosis, animals _______‎ ‎ A. remain in cages B. behave strangely C. attack other animals D. enjoy moving around ‎33. What does the author try to argue in the passage?‎ ‎ A. Zoos are not worth the public support. B. Zoos fail in their attempt to save animals.‎ ‎ C. Zoos should treat animals as human beings. D. Zoos use animals as a means of entertainment.‎ ‎34. The author tries to persuade readers to accept his argument mainly by _______.‎ ‎ A. discussing the advantages of natural habitats B. using evidence he has collected at zoos ‎ C. questioning the way animals are protected D. pointing out the faults in what ‎ zoos do ‎35. Although he argues against zoos, the author would still agree that _______.‎ ‎ A. zoos have to keep animals in small cages ‎ ‎ B. most animals in zoos are endangered species ‎ C. some endangered animals are reproduced in zoos ‎ D. it’s acceptable to keep animals away from their habitats ‎ 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。‎ Whether you are at Disneyland or another Disney park, you will usually find a nighttime show that will be showing.　36　 Read this article to find out how you can get a good seat for an evening event at any Disney park. ‎ ‎•Plan on seeing the show in advance.‎ Usually, if you decide an hour beforehand that you’re going to see a show, you will likely end up not getting a good seat, unless the park is not very busy.　37　‎ ‎•Do your research.‎ Research online: “The best places to view...”　38　 Some of them may even be less known, so you may not deal with such a big crowd. ‎ ‎•Arrive to the event early.‎ ‎　39　 Possibly even earlier if the park is more crowded on that day. If you arrive ten minutes before the event starts, you’re a lot less likely to get a good spot. ‎ ‎•　40　 ‎ If you must leave to do something, make sure that it’s extremely quick, and try to have another member of your party stay in your spot while you are away.‎ A.
