Its great for the viewing public; theyre going to get more things to see. It will be great for tourism and just for the local munity,” said Richard Tindale, the owner and operator.Spreading across three locations in the National Zoo, the 18 rooms, which range from giraffe tree houses to jungle bungalows, offer a fantastic experience with wildlife.The Giraffe TreehouseThe Giraffe Treehouse is set among the giraffe enclosures, and the Jungle Bungalows are luxurious individual houses which are next to either lion, cheetah(猎豹), brown bear, or Malaysian sun bear enclosures.The Ushaka HouseHousing up to 26 people, the Ushaka House is built around the monkey enclosure and has a built-in aquarium which offers private views of some of the zoos sharks.The Burley Griffin HouseOnly meters from the edge of Lake Burley Griffin, the indoor and outdoor entertaining areas have splendid views across the lake to Black Mountain.The Shark HouseThe Shark House has its own little jetty(码头) and it es out over the shark tank here and so the people who stay in the room will be able to go to their bedroom and pat the shark.LocationLocated in the heart of Australias political capital, the Jamala Wildlife Lodge at the National Zoo and Aquarium is just ten minutes from Canberras Central Business District.1.

The boss was a hard man. He fired people who didnt do well without giving them a second chance.“Watson,” said Mr Smith, “this past year your department hasnt earned money. Were going to drop that department. Its finished. Im sorry-but youll have to go.” “But, sir-if I just had a little more time. For the moment I need the job to keep my son at Riverside School.”“Whats that!” said the Boss. “Riverside! I didnt know you had a boy there. Thats an expensive school for a man with your salary.”“I know, sir. But he likes it there so much! Hes a star trackman（田径运动员）and the best boxer in the school. The boys call him Champ（冠军）there.”The Boss sat perfectly still for a long time-a faraway look in his eyes. Then, suddenly, he said, “Weve got to close your department, Watson. But youll take over a new job in another department. It means long hours-maybe more pay. Now get out. Youre here for life.”Watson got out, with surprise in his face. Then the Boss took a letter from the top drawer of his desk. It was Herbies last letter from Riverside School-written a few days before he died. He had read it over and over again with sick pain. The letter read:I cant say the boys here are any nicer to me than the others were. I guess its the same everywhere when youre a cripple（跛脚的人）. But dont worry about me, Dad. Theyve got a good chemistry department here. And theres one boy here who is really great. Hes a track star and boxing champ and just tops in chemistry. The boys call him Champ. He made them stop throwing my books around. And he knocked a boy down who hit me. He is the best friend I ever had. Dad, when I grow up, I want to do something for Champ.

Watson and Mr Smith both_.A. loved their sons deeply B. were hard menC. knew Champ D. were interested in chemistryCA bargain is something offered at a low and advantageous price. A more recent definition is: a bargain is a dirty trick to force money out of the pockets of silly and innocent people.The cost of producing a new-for example - toothpaste would make 80p the proper price for it, so we will market it at 1.20. It is not a bad toothpaste, and as people like to try new things it will sell well to start with; but the attraction（吸引） of novelty soon disappears, so sales will fall. When that happens we will reduce the price to 1.15. And we will turn it into a bargain by printing 5p OFF all over it.Sometimes it is not 5p OFF but 1p OFF. What breathtaking rudeness to advertise 1p OFF your soap or washing powder or whatever! Even the poorest old-age pensioner ought to regard this as an insult(侮辱), but he doesnt. A bargain must not be missed. People say one has to have washing powder (or whatever) and one might as well buy it a penny cheaper.The real danger starts when unnecessary things bee bargains. Many people just cannot resist bargains. Provided they think they are getting a bargain they will buy clothes they will never wear or furniture they have no space for. Once I heard of a man who bought an electric saw as a bargain and cut off two of his fingers the next day. But he had no regrets: the saw had been truly cheap.Quite a few people actually believe that they make money on such bargains. A lady once told me: “Ive had a lucky day today. I bought a dress for 120, reduced from 400; and l bought a beautiful Persian carpet for 600, reduced from 900.” It will never occur to her that she has actually wasted 720. She feels as though she had made 580. She also feels, I am sure, that if she had more time for shopping, she could make a living out of it.Some people buy in large quantities because it is cheaper. Once a couple bought enough sugar for their lifetime and the lifetime of their children and grandchildren. They thought it a bargain not to be missed. When the sugar arrived they didnt know where to store it - until they realized that their toilet was a very spacious one. So that was where they piled up their sugar. Not only did their guests feel rather strange whenever they were offered sugar to put into their coffee, but the toilet became extremely sticky.To offer bargains is a mercial trick to make the poor poorer. When greedy fools fall for this trick, it serves them right.8. Which word best describes the language style of the passage?A. Polite. B. Foolish. C. Humorous. D. Serious.9. What does the underlined word “novelty” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Good quality. B. Low price. C. Curiosity. D. Newness.10. How does the author feel about 1p OFF a product?A. Its a gift for poor people. B. Its an offense to shoppers.C. Its a bargain worth trying. D. Its a real reduction in price.11. Which statement will the author probably agree with?A. Bargains are things people dont really need. B. Bargains are often real cheap products.C. Bargains help people make a living. D. Bargains play tricks on people.DFrom the health point of view we are living in a wonderful age. A large number of once fatal(致命的)illnesses can now be cured by modern medicine. But though the possibility of living a long and happy life is greater than ever before, every day we see the unbelievable killing of people on the roads. Man is opposite to the motor-car! It is a never-ending battle which man is losing. Thousands of people are killed each year and we are quietly sitting back and letting it happen.It has been rightly said that when a man is sitting behind a steering-wheel(方向盘), his car bees the extension of his personality. There is no doubt that the motor-car often brings out a mans worst character. People who are normally quiet and pleasant may bee unrecognizable when they are behind a steering-wheel. They are rude, ill-mannered and aggressive. All their hidden frustrations and disappointments seem to be brought to the surface by the act of driving.The surprising thing is that society smiles on the motorist and seems to forgive the behavior. Everything is done for his convenience. Cities and towns are made ugly by huge car parks.It is high time a world law should be created to reduce this senseless waste of human life. With regard to driving, the laws of some countries are not strict and even the strictest are not strict enough. A law which was universally accepted could only have a beneficial effect on the accident rate. Here are a few examples of some things that might be done. The driving test should be made to a fixed standard and far more difficult than it is; all the drivers should be made to take a test every three years or so; the age at which young people are allowed to drive any vehicle should be raised to at least 21 ; all vehicles should be put through strict annual tests for safety. Present drinking and driving laws (where they exist) should be made much stricter. Driving speed should be limited on all roads. These measures may sound rather severe. But surely nothing should be considered difficult if it results in reducing the annual deaths. After all, the world is for human beings, not motor-cars.12. The main idea of this passage is_.A. traffic accidents are mainly caused by motoristsB. only stricter traffic laws can prevent accidentsC. thousands of people in the world are killed each yearD. the laws of some countries about driving are too strict13. Which of the following is right according to the passage?A. It is right to build huge car parks in cities and towns.B. Society ignores their rude driving.C. Working by car can save time and money.D. All the drivers must be asked to take a test every year.14. Why does the author say his car bees the extension of his personality ?A. Driving can show his temper.B. Driving can bring out his good character.C. Driving can make a man excited and joyful.D. Driving can show his real self.15. The attitude of the author is_.A. critical B. praising C. selfish D. determined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。“So, what are you doing after graduation?” Many juniors and seniors get bored answering that question over and over.
