But the pair still understand English better than Chinese, and prefer American biscuits to Chinese bread.A zoo-keeper said that his main concern is that the pair are so addicted to American biscuits that everything they eatfrom bamboos to appleshas to be mixed with biscuits. They even want to snack on (零食) biscuits when drinking water.The zoo-keeper is trying to wean them off their biscuit habit, gradually replacing the American food with Chinese bread. Mei Huan is adapting, but Mei Lun doesnt want to touch the unfamiliar bread.Mei Lun is the livelier of the two, often jumping onto the roof and hanging upside down from a rail, but her slightly younger sister Mei Huan is calmer, preferring to sit still, observe her new environment and occasionally snack on bamboo.A language barrier is also reported. While the pair respond to their own names, andunderstand some English phrases such as come here, they dont understand the Sichuan dialect of Chinese.The news caused some laughter on Chinese social media, with some users commenting that the pandas would soon get used to Sichuans famously spicy cuisine.5Based on the passage, which statement do you think is right?A.

Mei Huan is not smarter than Mei LunD. Mei Lun is as quiet as her younger sisterThe American newspaper has been around for about three hundred years. In 1721, the printer James Franklin, Benjamins older brother, started the New England Courant, and that was what we might recognize today as a real newspaper. He filled his paper with stories of adventure, articles on art, on famous people, and on all sorts of political subjects. Three centuries after the appearance of Franklins Courant, few believe that newspapers in their present printed form will remain alive for long. Newspaper companies are losing advertisers, readers, market value, and in some cases, their sense of purpose at a speed that would not have been imaginable just several years ago. The chief editor of the Times said recently, At places where they gather, editors ask one another, How are you?, as if they have just come out of the hospital or a lost law case. An article about the newspaper appeared on the website of the Guardian, under the headline NOT DEAD YET. Perhaps not, but the rise of the Internet, which has made the daily newspaper look slow and out of step with the world, has brought about a real sense of death. Some American newspapers have lost 42% of their market value in the past three years. The New York Times Company has seen its stock (股票) drop by 54% since the end of 2004, with much of the loss coming in the past year. A manager at Deutsche Bank suggested that stock - holders sell off their Times stock.The Washington Post Company has prevented the trouble only by changing part of its business to education; its testing and test-preparation service now brings in at least half the companys income.8What can we learn about the New England Courant?A. It is mainly about the stock market.B. It carries articles by political leaders.C. It marks the beginning of newspapers.D. It remains a successful newspaper in America.9What can we infer about the newspaper editors?A. They often accept readers suggestions.B. They care a lot about each others health.C. They stop doing business with advertisers.D. They face great difficulties in their business.10Which of the following found a new way for its development?A. The Washington Post. B. The Guardian.C. The New York Times. D. New England Courant.11How does the author seem to feel about the future of newspapers?A. Satisfied. B. Hopeful. C. Surprised. D. Worried.Money is the root of all evil (邪恶) and new study claims there may be some truth behind the saying. Scientists at the University of California Berkeley, US, announced on February 27 that rich people are more likely to do immoral things, such as lie or cheat, than poorer people. The scientists did a series of eight experiments. They published their findings online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNA美国国家科学院院刊). They carried out the first two experiments from the sidewalk near Berkeley. They noted that drivers of newer and more expensive cars were more likely to cut off other cars and pedestrians at crosswalks. Nearly 45 percent of people driving expensive cars ignored a pedestrian compared with only 30 percent of people driving more modest cars. In another experiment, a group of college students was asked if they would do immoral things in various everyday situations. Examples included taking printer paper from work and not telling a salesperson when he or she gave back more change. Students from higher-class families were more likely to act dishonestly. According to the scientists, rich people often think money can get them out of trouble. This makes them less afraid to take risks. It also means they care less about other peoples feelings. Finally, it just makes them greedier. Higher wealth status seems to make you want even more, and that increased want leads you to bend the rules or break the rules to serve your self-interest, said Paul Piff, lead scientist of the study. Piff pointed out that the findings dont mean that all rich people are untrustworthy or all poor people honest. He said the experiments were to show how people living in different social situations express their instincts (本能) and values in different ways.12By saying money is the root of all evil, the author wants to _.A. link wealth with bad behaviorB. draw readers attention to the researchC. show how the saying proves the findingsD. defend rich people who do immoral things13According to the scientists, which is NOT the factor that makes rich people immoral?A. They welcome risks.B. They have more desires.C. They believe money talks.D. They become more selfish.14Why did the scientists do the experiments?A. To show how social status affects peoples morality.B. To show peoples instincts and values in different ways.C. To test whether the saying money is the root of all evil is true.D. To show the difference between higher-class people and lower-class people.15What does the passage really want to show us?A. The poor are respectable.B. Money is the root of all evil.C. All rich people are untrustworthy.D. The rich are more likely to act badly.评卷人得分二、完形填空The other day I was offered two tickets to a special preview of the latest movie for free.
