24、   Sports were historically thought as a boys’ activity. Since a federal(联邦法律) law was passed in 1972, schools have offered many sports for girls. However, there is still unfairness between boys and girls. For example, a school may have a football team only for boys, but a volleyball team only for girls. So can girls play boys’ sports on a boys’ team? There are different opinions among people.

Some people strongly against girls playing boys’ sports on a boys’ team. They often say it could be dangerous for girls. On average, girls are shorter and weigh less than boys, which give girls an unfair disadvantage. So during the game, girls could be injured. Another worry is that girls may be nervous with boys on the team. Then they may not play well. Meanwhile, some boys want to have their own space. They don’t want to feel uncomfortable with girls.

However, some other people hold an opposite view. They reply that there are some small and light boys on a boys’ team, too. Girls can play the roles just like these boys. Although it may be unfair for girls to compete with boys in boys’ games, girls who are willing to take the risk should be allowed to have a try. Some people also point out that if boys and girls can cooperate(合作) well on a team, they can learn from each other and help each other.

No matter what the different opinions are, there is no doubt that both boys and girls are excited about playing sports. Whether or not girls can play boys’ sports on a boys’ team still needs further consideration.

【1】What does the passage mainly talk about?

A.Sports are historically played by boys.

B.There is unfairness between boys and girls.

C.Different opinions on girls playing boys’ sports on a boys’ team.

D.Boys and girls can learn from each other when playing sports together.

【2】The underlined phrase “on average” in Paragraph 2 probably means _______.

A.一定地 B.平均地 C.可能地 D.难以避免地

【3】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A.Boys think it’s good to have girls on their sports team.

B.Girls are shorter and lighter than boys on average.

C.Girls are not afraid to compete with boys.

D.Boys and girls have already played on the same team in some schools.

【4】We can infer(推测) from the passage that _______.

A.Only boys are excited about playing sports.

B.Boys and girls can’t play the same sports together.

C.It is clear that girls are not able to compete with boys.

D.We still can’t decide whether girls can play boys’ sports on a boys’ team.

25、

What are fossils?

Fossils are the remains of plants or animals. For such remains to be considered fossils, scientists have decided they have to be over 10,000 years old. The word fossil comes from the Latin word “fossilis”, which means, “dig up”.  Fossils can be divided into “body fossils” and “trace(痕迹) fossils”. Body fossils are the remains of a plant or animal’s body. Trace fossils are the remains of the activity of an animal, such as footprints, egg shells, and nests.

How are fossils formed?

Some animals were quickly covered after their death by sediment(沉淀物) like earth, mud or sand. Over time, the parts of the animals that didn’t rot (usually the harder parts like bones and teeth) were covered in the newly formed sediment. Then, a lot of chemical changes happened to the animals bodies. Water with minerals(矿物质) went into the bone and took the place of the chemicals in the bone with rock-like minerals. In the end we get a heavy, rock-like copy of the original object - a fossil. There weren’t any changes in size and shape when an object changed into a fossil, but the fossil of a bone doesn’t have any bone in it! It is chemically more like a rock! According to scientists, fossils have been found on every continent(大陆) on Earth.

【1】Trace fossils can’t be formed from the ______ of some kind of animals.

A. footprints   B. nests   C. eggs   D. bodies

【2】______ brings the rock-like minerals into the bone.

A. Sunlight   B. Earth   C. Water   D. Air

【3】According to the last paragraph, the fossil is as ______ as the original object.

A. heavy   B. big   C. old   D. clean

【4】We can know that ______ from the passage.

A. scientists think that the fossils may have a history of 100 centuries.

B. people haven’t found any fossil on the continent of Africa.

C. we can find some real bones in the fossils of a bone.

D. there are many kinds of sediment in the fossils.

【5】This passage most probably comes from ______.

A. an advertisement   B. a medical magazine   C. a science book   D. a notice

27、   What do you think about when you think of a zoo? Small cages? Bars like those in prisons? These images might be common in people’s mind, which serve as arguments for the people who do not like zoos, as historically, traditional zoos kept animals with a very limited focus on conservation(protection of natural things or education, However, a sort of evolution (改革;进化) has occurred.

Most zoos today, especially those in the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA), an international organization whose members are leading zoos and aquariums, provide spacious and natural space for their animals and worked hard to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. More importantly, modern zoos not only take much better care of the animals they keep, but also engage with the protection of animals in the wild.

As the human population increases, our impact on the environment has been deadly harmful to wildlife and wild spaces. Things like climate change and severe habitat destruction are causing species to go extinct at unnatural rates. Some scientists estimate we are currently experiencing the sixth mass extinction (灭绝) in the history of life on earth. As a consoling (令人安慰的) part out of all griefs, many zoos serve as important safe-holds for endangered species populations, and in cases like that of the California Condor, captive breeding programs in AZA, which kept animals in zoos proved to be important in bringing species back from extinction. Besides, AZA, including many zoos, also fund over 2,500 conservation projects, donating 160 million dollars every year to protecting species in the wild.

The conservation impact that zoos have goes even further than direct conservation action and financial support for fieldwork. In a time when people spend less and less time outdoors, zoos serve as a place to teach children and remind adults that wildlife and wild spaces still exist, and that our society holds the future of these species’ survival in our hands.

________________________. While I am only 18, I have spent the last six years volunteering with wildlife conservation organizations. As a volunteer at the Santa Barbara Zoo, I stood outside of the Amur Leopard exhibit and educated guests about these critically endangered big cats. I saw the way that live animals can spark people’s curiosity and inspire them to love and protect nature. Earlier this year, I had the opportunity to attend the AZA’s Legislative Conference in Washington DC, where I got the opportunity to see how zoos support conservation efforts in the wild. Cheetah Conservation Fund in Namibia is an organization dedicated (致力于) to saving the cheetah in the wild, but it relies heavily on support from zoos. Many zoos donate large amounts of money to CCF, but they also contribute to CCF’s mission by connecting people across the United States with cheetahs, and the issues they face in the wild.

Zoos can be controversial institutions; however, both opponents of traditional zoos and those who support modern zoos have more in common than one might think. Both groups are extremely motivated because they care so deeply about animals, their welfare, and their long-term survival on our planet. I encourage you to consider both sides of this issue and learn more about all of the conservation work zoos do, and the world-class care animals in AZA receive before determining where you stand on this issue.

【1】Images like small cages are mentioned in Paragraph 1 to explain ________.

A.why there must be an evolution of zoos

B.how much people misunderstand the zoos

C.why some people are against traditional zoos

D.how well the modern zoos are treating animals

【2】According to Paragraph 3, what do captive breeding programs do?

A.They are conservation projects donating to AZA.

B.They protect the wild habitat of endangered animal.

C.They keep endangered animals to save them from extinction.

D.They set up missions of animal protection for AZA every year.

【3】Which sentence serves best as the topic sentence of Paragraph 5?

A.However, there is still much that zoos should have done.

B.I have gotten to see many of the positive aspects of zoos up close.

C.Yet what I have personally experienced might explain why zoos have caused so much disagreement.

D.The misunderstanding of zoos, unfortunately, is still widespread, and some people are blind to the contributions zoos have made.

【4】What is TRUE according to the article?

A.Zoos in Namibia heavily reply on the Cheetah Conservation Fund

B.Traditional zoos only paid attention to conservation but no education.

C.Modern zoos bear responsibility for the animals they keep and those in the wild.

D.With the increase of human population, a huge species extinction in history is on.

【5】Which could be the best title for the article?

A.Traditional Zoos: Harmful to Wildlife

B.AZA: A Consoling Part out of All Griefs

C.Evolution of Zoos: More Changes in Need

D.Modern Zoos: Dedicated to Saving the Wildlife
