25、These cute seabirds have wings, but they cannot fly. They wear a black or blue-grey overcoat, and they have a white belly, a pair of short legs, and two wings that serve as flippers (脚蹼). There are 18 types of them. We must look at their heads and necks to tell one type from another. Some have a pair of long, yellow eyebrows, some have a rock star hairstyle, some have lemon-yellow and orange markings on their cheeks (脸颊), and some just have no special markings at all. When these seabirds walk on land, they look clumsy (笨拙的). Yet, when they dive into the water, they become excellent swimmers! Most of them live in places covered by snow and ice year-round in the Southern Hemisphere, but some are found in warmer areas near the equator (赤道). What are they? These cute seabirds are penguins!

King penguins and emperor penguins are the two largest types of penguins. King penguins can reach a height of 38 inches, and emperor penguins can be 48 inches tall. The smallest penguin is the little blue penguin from Australia and New Zealand—when it stands straight, it is just about 16 inches tall. Big penguins have some advantages over their smaller relatives—big penguins can stay warm easier so they can live in a colder climate; big penguins can dive deeper and stay underwater longer so they can catch food far below the water surface.

【1】How can we tell one type of penguin from another?

A. By looking at their legs and wings. B. By looking at their heads and necks.

C. By looking at their flippers and cheeks. D. By looking at their eyebrows and hairstyles.

【2】Which of the following sentences about penguins is TRUE?

A. There are sixteen types of penguins. B. Yellow penguins are the smallest penguins.

C. They can only be found in cold places. D. They look clumsy but they are good swimmers.

【3】What is the second paragraph mainly about?

A. It tells us the height of two types of penguins.

B. It tells us the size and advantages of big penguins.

C. It tells us the living areas of the smallest penguins.

D. It tells us the living conditions of two types of penguins.

26、   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

27、   A black bear was in a dangerous situation when she fell off a 30-meter-high bridge. After a long day in California’s Sierra Nevada mountains, the bear probably thought she was taking a shortcut home. She was walking across the bridge when, suddenly, two cars entered from both sides. There was nowhere to run, so the bear jumped onto the rail and began to fall over the side.

Luckily, the bear pulled herself onto an arch（拱）under the bridge, but she was trapped there. A driver saw the unbelievable scene and called 911. Robert Brooks, an animal control officer from the nearby town, was sent to investigate（调查）.When he found it wasn’t a joke, he soon called Dave Baker of the BEAR League-a group that helps bears in trouble.

Unfortunately. The sky was getting dark, so the rescuers had to wait. Early next morning, the two men returned to the bridge with more volunteers. Amazingly, the bear was still there. Dave had an idea—they should hang a net under the bear, push her into it, and then lower her to the ground.

Police officers closed the road,. After the net was in position, Robert immediately shot a dart（飞镖）with a sleeping drug into the bear’s shoulder. When the bear was sleepy, Ann Bryant, the head of the BEAR League, yelled, “OK, push!” A volunteer rock climber used his feet to push the bear off the arch, right into the middle of the net!

Firefighters volunteered to lower the 100-kilogram bear. When she touched to ground, everyone cheered. Ann and Robert guided the sleepy bear to a river, where she could finally get a drink. “She just kind of lay down on her tummy and out her paws under her chin,”said Ann, “like a dog lying on the living room floor...only big!”The rescuers then cleared all the people there and left the bear alone.
