B One day an out-of-work mime(哑剧演员) is visiting a zoo and attempts to earn some money as a performer. As soon as he starts to draw the crowd, a zoo keeper grabs him and drags him into his office. The zoo keeper explains to the mime that the zoos most popular attraction, a gorilla, died suddenly and the keeper fears that the attendance at the zoo will fall off. He offers the mime a job to dress up as the gorilla until they can get another one. The mime accepts.So the next morning the mime puts on the gorilla suit and enters the cage before the crowd es. He discovers that its a great job. He can sleep when he wants to, play and make fun of people and he draws bigger crowds than he ever did as a mime. However, eventually the crowds get tired of him and he doesnt like just swinging on wires any longer. He begins to notice that the people are paying more attention to the lion in the cage next to his.Not wanting to lose the attention of his audience, he climbs to the top of his cage, crawls across a partition(隔开物),and dangles(悬荡) from the top of the lions cage. Of course, this makes the lionfurious,but the crowd loves it. At the end of the day the zoo keeper es and gives the mime a raise for being such a good attraction. Well, this goes on for some time, the mime keeps laughing at the lion, the crowds grow larger, and his salary keeps going up.Then one terrible day when he is dangling over the furious lion he slips and falls. The mime is terrified. The lion gathers its strength and prepares to pounce(猛扑).The mime is so scared that he begins to run round and round in the cage with the lion close behind. Finally, the mime starts screaming and yelling, “Help me! Help me!”,but the lion is quick and pounces. The mime soon finds himself lying on his back looking up at the angry lion and the lion says, “Shut up, you idiot! Do you want to get us both fired?”25. The mime goes to the zoo in order to. A. perform to make some money B. take part in an interview C. look for a better job as a worker in the zoo D. help the zoo keeper to draw more visitors26. The mime doesnt like his job any longer probably because.A. he cant have enough sleep every day B. the visitors throw something at himC. people are less interested in his performance D. he wants to stay with the lion in the cage27.The underlined word “furious”(in Paragraph 3) means “”. A. happy B. angry C. frightened D. satisfied28. According to the passage, we can know that.A. the lion wants to catch hold of the mime B. both the lion and the mime will be killedC. another employee dresses up as the lion D. the zoo keeper will fire both of them CThe fact that ants are fascinating insects has been known for some time. Now, scientists have discovered a large number of wood ants living in an abandoned underground storehouse in Templewo, Poland, despite having no obvious source of food.Polish zoologist Wojciech Czechowski and his team began studying the underground colony in 2013. They found the ants built a 60-cm high nest in the soil directly over the storehouse vertical air pipe. As years passed, the metal covering on the pipe eroded, leaving behind a hole that thousands of worker ants accidentally slip into each day as they go about their daily chores. The scientists say that there are no sources of food in the storehouse. This means that the insects live in a state of near starvation.In July 2015, the researchers disturbed part of the ant nest in search of larvae (幼虫), cocoons(茧), and queens. They found nothing, leading them to suspect that the lack of food and cold temperatures made reproduction impossible and that the group tending the nest is entirely made up of non-reproductive female workers. Their population is refilled every year, by a new rain of unfortunate ants that slide down the hole. The researchers say that when they returned in January 2016, the nest had been repaired. It appears that despite the terrible conditions, the worker ants do not stop constructing their nest.Wood ants are known for their ability to adapt to bad living conditions. In this case, the millions of worker ants trapped in the storehouse have no choice. But instead of losing hope, they are making the best of the situationa classic example of “when life gives you lesions make lemonade.”29How did the wood ants arrive in the storehouse?A. They fell down there by accident. B. The research team brought them there.C. The storehouse builders left them there. D. They were attracted by the environment.30What did the researchers find in the nest?A. larvae. B. cocoons. C. queens. D. worker ants.31Why did the population of wood ants remain steady?A. They had enough food. B. They were able to reproduce.C. They adapted to the conditions. D. They had new ers to join them. DMadrids city hall on Wednesday announced that it had ordered half of most private cars off the roads to fight pollution, a first in Spain.From Thursday, “Vehicles with even-number (偶数) registration plates will be allowed to drive around on even-number days and cars with odd-number (奇数) registration plates on odd-number days,” it said in a statement.The measure will be reevaluated on a daily basis depending on pollution levels.It is activated when levels of harmful nitrogen dioxide in the atmosphere go above 200 micrograms per cubic meter in at least two measuring stations for two days running, and if the air is unlikely to clear immediately.There are exceptions to the ban, such as for mopeds (摩托自行车), hybrid (油电混合动力) cars, those carrying three people or more or used by disabled people. Buses, taxis and emergency vehicles are also exempt.“Its not about traffic restrictions but about the important issue of public health,” said Deputy Mayor Marta Higueras.“Lots of people suffer from breathing problems and are very affected by pollution.”With 3.5 million residents and some 1.8 million cars, Madrid often suffers from bad bouts of pollution.The move to ban half the cars from the roads is level three out of four antipollution measures. Level four also bans taxis from the city, except those using hybrid cars.Inigo Henriquez de Luna, PP spokesman in Madrids local parliament, slammed it as “ideological” and said authorities should do more to encourage residents to avoid using their cars rather than punish them.The move follows a similar decision by French capital Paris earlier this month.32. According to the ban, we can know that _. A. all the vehicles are banned from the roads in MadridB. even-numbered cars are allowed to drive on odd-number days C. odd-number cars are not allowed to drive on even-number days D. there are no exceptions to the ban according to the passage33. We can learn from the passage that the purpose of the ban is _. A. to control pollutionB. to prevent car accidents C. to save energyD. to relieve traffic jams34. It can be concluded from the passage that _.A. Affected by pollution, many people in Madrid suffer from breathing problems B. The measure to ban half of private cars will be carried out every day C. Fighting against pollution in Madrid is the first in EuropeD. About two people in Madrid own a car, causing the pollution so serious35. Whats the main idea of the passage? A. An anti-pollution measure is being taken in Madrid for peoples health. B. Madrid is doing a research to know about the serious level of its air pollution. C. Madrid is trying to restrict the number of cars that its residents can buy. D. Public vehicles are not ordered off the roads in the anti-pollution activity in Madrid.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。How to Improve Your Study Habits Perhaps you are an average student with average intelligence.
