come a time when they know better ,” he said . “ its just not yet . so, ill do it for them.”well, this morning i was out walking my neighbors dog when i saw another neighbor, a much younger man , out doing the same thing ! he had his two little sons with him and they were having good fun trying to pick up the litter.when i commented on what a good job he was doing, he said , “ well , an older fellow in our street does this . and my friend and i thought it wasnt fair that he had to do it all the time , so now we take turns .”not only was he taking a turn , not only did he have a friend join in as well , but he was passing on the lesson to the next generation！by the time i had returned the dog to my neighbor i looked again and his children s friends had joined in !this man was teaching a whole group of young children to keep their own street sanitary. an older man had set an example for him and now he was passing it on the next generation is doing what he did and the generation to

zoo officials say they are concerned about animalshowever, most zoos remain “collections” of interesting “things” rather than protective habitatszoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals bored, lonely, and far from their natural homes. zoos claim to educate people and save endangered species, but visitors leave zoos without having learned anything meaningful about the animals natural behavior, intelligence, or beautyzoos keep animals in small spaces or cages, and most signs only mention the species name, diet, and natural rangethe animals normal behavior is seldom noticed because zoos dont usually take care of the animals natural needs the animals are kept together in small spaces, with no privacy and little opportunity for mental and physical exercisethis results in unusually and self-destructive behavior called zoochosisa worldwide study of zoos found that zoochosis is common among animals kept in small spaces or cagesanother study showed that elephants spend 22 percent of their time making repeated head movements or biting cage bars, and bears spend 30 percent of their time walking back and forth, a sign of unhappiness and pain. furthermore, most animals in zoos are not endangeredcaptive breeding(圈养繁殖) of endangered big cats, asian elephants, and other species has not resulted in their being sent back to the wildzoos talk a lot about their captive breeding programs because they do not want people to worry about a species dying outin fact, baby animals also attract a lot of paying customershavent we seen enough competitions to name baby animals? actually, we will save endangered species only if we save their habitats and put an end to the reasons people kill theminstead of supporting zoos, we should support groups that work to protect animals natural habitats.24,how would the author describe the animals life in zoos?adangerous beasycnatural dunhappy25,in the state of zoochosis, animals _.aenjoy moving around bbehave strangelycattack other animals dremain in cages 26, what does the author try to argue in the passage?azoos are not worth the public supportbzoos should treat animals as human beings.czoos fail in their attempt to save animals.dzoos use animals as a means of entertainment.27,the author tries to persuade readers to accept his argument mainly by _.aquestioning the way animals are protected busing evidence he has collected at zooscpointing out the faults in what zoos doddiscussing the advantages of natural habitatscthe great fire of london started in the very early hours of 2 september 1666 . in four days it destroyed more than three-quarters of the old city , where most of the houses were wooden and close together .over one hundred people became homeless , but only a few lost their lives .the fire started on sunday morning in the house of the kings baker in pudding lane. the baker, with his wife and family , was able to get out through a window in the roof . a strong wind blew the fire from the bakery（面包房）into a small hotel next door .then it spread quickly into thames street. that was the beginning.by eight o clock three hundred houses were on fire . on monday nearly a kilometer of the city was burning along the river thames. tuesday was the worst day. the fire destroyed many well-known buildings, old st pauls and the guildhall among them.samuel pepys, the famous writer, wrote about the fire, “people threw their things into the river. many poor people stayed in their houses until the last moment birds fell out of the air because of the heat.”the fire stopped only when the king finally ordered people to destroy hundreds of buildings in the path of the firewith nothing left to burn, the fire became weak and finally died out.after the fire, christopher wren, the architect(建筑师), wanted a city with wider streets and fine new houses of stonein fact, the streets are still narrow, but he did build more than fifty churches, among which were st paulsthe fire caused great pain and loss, but after it london was a better place: a city for the future and not just of the past.28. how was the fire put out according to the text?a. the king and his soldiers came to help.b. all the wooden houses in the city were destroyed.c. people managed to get enough water from the river. d. houses standing in the direction of the fire were pulled down29. it seems that the writer of the text was most sorry for the fact that _.asome people lost their lives bthe birds in the sky were killed by the firecmany famous buildings were destroyed dthe kings bakery was burned down30. why did the writer cite(引用)samuel pepys?abecause pepys was among those putting out the fire.bbecause pepys also wrote about the fire.cto give readers a clearer picture of the fire.dto show that poor people suffered most.31which of the following were reasons for the rapid spread of the big fire?(a) there was a strong wind.(b) the streets were very narrow(c) many houses were made of wood.(d) there was not enough water in the city.(e) people did not discover the fire earlier. a(a), (b) and (c) b(a) and (b) c(a), (b), (c) and (d) d(a), (b), (c), (d) and (e)dsteve and yaser first met in their chemistry class at an american university. yaser was an international student from jordan. he wanted to learn more about american culture and hoped that he and steve would become good friends. at first, steve seemed very friendly. he always greeted yaser warmly before class. sometimes he offered to study with yaser. he even invited yaser to have lunch with him. but after the term was over, steve seemed distant. the two former classmates didnt see each other very often at school. one day yaser decided to call steve. steve didnt seem very interested in talking to him. yaser was hurt by steves change of attitude. “steve said we were friends,” yaser complained, “and i thought friends were friends forever.” yaser was a little confused. as a foreigner, he doesnt understand the way americans view friendship. americans use the word “friend” in a very general way. they may call both casual acquaintances(相识的人；熟人) and close companions(伙伴) “friends”. these friendships are based on common interests. when the shared activity ends, the friendship may fade(逐渐消失). now as steve and yaser are no longer classmates, their “friendship” has changed. in some cultures friendship means a strong lifelong bond between two people. in these cultures friendships develop slowly, since they are built to last. american society is one of rapid change. studies show that one out five american families moves every year. american friendships develop quickly, and they may change just quickly as well. people from the united states may at first seem friendly. americans often chat easily with strangers. but american friendliness is not always an offer of true friendship. after an experience like yasers , people whove been in this country for only a few months may consider americans to be fickle(易变的). learning how americans view friendship can help non-americans avoid misunderstandings. it can also help them make friends in the american way.32 according to the passage, _made yaser a little confused.a. steves inviting him to dinner b. steves studying with himc. steves cold attitude d. steves misunderstanding him33. we can learn from the passage that_.a. americans use the word “friend” in a very special way and like to develop a close friendshipb. american friendliness is always an offer of true friendship and is of great valuec. americans always base their friendships with others on common interestsd. americans think the friendship will last forever, even though the shared activity ends34. in paragraph 2, the underlined word “they” refers to “_”. a. american families b. american friendships c. people from the united states d. misunderstandings35. this passage mainly tells us_.a. how americans view friendshipb. that everyone needs friends.c. the importance of keeping friendshipsd. that people should not make friends with americans.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.选项中有两项是多余的._36_most of us have one or a few bad habits that wed like to get out of.
