We are going to tell you about some here.Okapi If giraffes and zebras could produce a next generation, their babies would look like an okapi. This strange-looking creature has striped legs like a zebra and the face of a giraffe. Its neck is much shorter than a giraffe, but like its cousin, it has an extremely long tongue, which can be up to 12 inches long. The okapi can use its tongue to wash its own eyelids and ears. Before 1901, okapis were known only to the people living in the Congo rain forest.Loch Ness MonsterThe locals near Loch Ness in northwestern Scotland refer to the mysterious creature as Nessie. Nessie is said to be a large animal with a long neck that lived during the time of the dinosaurs. Similar creatures have been reported in other lakes around the world. But whether it is real remains unknown.Ivory-Billed WoodpeckerBy the mid-1990s, the ivory-billed woodpecker was widely believed to have died out due to deforestation (砍伐森林) and hunting. It was rediscovered in 2004, when a bird-lover reported seeing one alive in the woods of Arkansas, America. Researchers later got a video of the bird.King CheetahStarting in 1926, people in Zimbabwe began to see a cheetah with unusual markings. This cheetah has large spots like a leopard and black stripes down its back. People called the creature king cheetah. It is a leopard-cheetah hybrid （混血).21.

B It was Mollys job to hand her father his brown paper lunch bag each morning before he headed off to work.One morning, in addition to his usual lunch bag, Molly handed him a second paper bag. This one was worn and held together with staples (书钉). Why two bags? her father asked. The other is something else, Molly answered. Whats in it? Just some stuff (东西). Take it with you. Not wanting to discuss the matter, he put both bags into his briefcase, kissed Molly and rushed off. At midday he opened Mollys bag and took out the contents: two hair ribbons (丝带), three small stones, a plastic dinosaur, a tiny sea shell, a small doll, and 13 pennies .The busy father smiled, finished eating, and swept the desk clean into the wastebasket, Mollys stuff included. That evening, Molly ran up behind him as he read the paper. Wheres my bag? What bag? The one I gave you this morning. I left it at the office, my dear. I forgot to put this note in it, she said. And, besides, Daddy, the things in the bag are the things I really like. I thought you might like to play with them. While Molly hugged her fathers neck, he unfolded the note that read, I love you, Daddy. Molly had given him her treasuresall that a 7-year-old held dear.Love was in a paper bag, but he had thrown it in the wastebasket. So he went back to the office and picked up the bag from the wastebasket. He put the treasures inside and carried it home carefully. After dinner, he asked Molly to tell him about the stuff in the bag. It took a long time to tell. Everything had a story or a memory. Sometimes I think of all the great times in this sweet life, he thought.We should all remember that its not the destination that counts in life, but the journey.

Love in a Paper BagC One of Indias top engineering schools has restricted (限制) Internet access in its boarding houses, saying addiction to surfing, gaming and blogging was affecting students performance, making them lonely and even suicidal (自杀倾向的).Authorities at the best Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Mumbai said students had stopped socializing and many were late for morning classes or slept through them. Now, a student doesnt even know who lives two doors away from him because he is so busy on the Internet, said Prakash Gopalan, dean of student affairs.The old dormitory culture of companionship and socializing among students is gone. This is not healthy in our opinion.IIT-Mumbai, with about 5,000 students, is one of seven IITs across India which are considered to be among the finest engineering schools in the world. They are also a talent pool for global technology giants. But their hard courses, tough competition and lonely campus lifestyle have taken an effect on students. Depressive and dysfunctional lifestyles are known to be common among IIT students, and at least nine have committed suicide in the past five years. Students have unlimited free Internet access in their boarding houses to help them in their studies, but many also use it to surf, chat, download movies and music, blog and for gaming. Starting Monday, Internet access will be banned between 11:00 pm and 12:00 pm at IIT-Mumbais 13 boarding buildings to encourage students to sleep early and to try and force them out of their shells, Gopalan said. But the move has not gone down well with students who say they hate their lives being regulated. Now they will say we need to listen to a lullaby (摇篮曲) to go to sleep, said Rajiv, an electronics student. 28. All of the following are the possible effects of free Intetnet aceess on students except . A. participation in social activities has gone down B. there has been a decline in students lessons C. some students feel lonely and even suicidal D. students dont even know their classmates29.

Students have unlimited free Internet access in their dormitories. B. Internet access is unavailable in deep night. C. Students are forbidden to surf the Internet. D. Students must go to bed before 11 pm.31. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. The banning order causes some complaints among the students. B. More students prefer listening to music to surfing the Internet. C. There is no Internet access on the IIT campus even. D. All electronics students hate the banning order.D Because of different instruments, materials and cultural backgrounds, Chinese paintings have their own images and contents in comparison (比较) to other types of paintings like Western paintings. Unique appearance of Chinese painting owes much to the use of the Chinese writing brushes and the Chinese paper. There are four essential elements used in the creating of Chinese painting, the brush, ink, paper, and the ink stone.Without any of them, the job cant be done. For Chinese painting, the special pedagogy (教学法) and the close relationship with the painters personality and the unique Chinese philosophy are the most important. The painters are trained not only to convey (表达) the object but also the mood and spirit of it. The Chinese believe that the painting is also the reflection of the painters knowledge and characters. In this way, Chinese painting becomes something much more than art. The essential part of the philosophy of China is the unity of heaven, earth and human beings. What the Chinese painters are trying to express is not something that is just enjoyable to see, but their attitude towards the great nature. They have a profound (深厚的）love and admiration for nature. The Chinese painters may spend hours thinking and drawing inspiration from the figures of nature. From the small or simple creatures that are chosen as the subjects of a piece of art work, we can see how they enjoy the nature and their love to the most ordinary things. The Chinese painters find it unpleasant to contemplate (凝视) and draw the human figure by itself. Human beings are part of the surroundings. They are all together. That is why Chinese paintings are simple in composition and full of harmony, balance and peace in all of the creations. They are interested in the mood and spirit.32. What mainly contributes to the unique appearance of Chinese paintings?A. The special pedagogy.B. The painting instruments.C. Chinese cultural backgrounds. D. Painters close relationship with nature.33. All of the following are important factors to Chinese painting except.A. the teaching methods B. the Chinese philosophyC. the personality of the painter D. the mood and spirit of the object34. Why is Chinese painting seen as something more than art? A. It reflects the painters knowledge and characters. B. It encourages the painters to love and admire nature. . C. It conveys the essential part of the philosophy of China. D. It is simple in composition but full of harmony and balance.35. What is the text mainly about? A. The influence of Chinese painting. B. Some basic information about Chinese painting. C. The relationship between Chinese painting and nature, D. The differences between Chinese painting and Western painting.第二节七选五阅读（每题2分，共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。 Suppose youve scored an interview with your dream employer.
