We have collected hundreds of reviews, checked the zoo websites, researched several zoorelated resources and visited many of them by ourselves to give you this selection: 10 best zoos in England.Chester ZooAmong top 15 zoos in the world, it is one of the mostvisited and largest zoos in England.Whipsnade ZooWith more than 2,500 animals, it is one of the few UK zoos with elephants.Marwell WildlifeFull of African and Australian animals, there is surely a lot to see within very large grounds.Howletts Wild Animal ParkIt was set up as a private zoo at first and opened to the public later. The place looks very natural and you can get very close to the animals there.Port Lympne Wild Animal ParkWith Britains largest number of African elephants, it offers truly African experiences.Colchester ZooWith 270species, it is very childfriendly and offers lots of handson activities.Twycross ZooIt holds what is supposed to be the worlds largest collection of apes (猿). There are also rare leopard species.Bristol Zoo GardensThis is a 175yearold zoo with rare animals like fruit bats (果蝠)Paignton ZooAs home to a collection of around 2,000 animals and 1,600 plant species, it is one of the first places in England combining zoological and botanical (植物的) gardens.London ZooAs one of the oldest zoos in the world, it is well worth a visit.21Marwell Wildlife would attract those who want to _.Aknow more about elephantsBvisit the oldest zoo in EnglandCsee some rare animal speciesDwatch African and Australian animals22What is the feature of Paignton Zoo?AIt has both animal and plant species.BIt has the largest number of animals.CTourists can get close to the animals there.DIt holds the worlds largest collection of plant species.23The passage is meant to _.Acompare 10 zoosBattract kids to zoosCintroduce 10 popular zoosDshow the history of 10 zoosBWalking is the best form of exercise. It is good for the upper respiratory（与呼吸有关的）system and the legs. It helps us control our weight and blood sugar. Walking is also a good way to help you make more friends，bringing chances to see new things and meet new people. Personally I try to walk at least 5 miles daily.As well as walking，I also cycle around Xiamen. Cycling is great for weight loss and helps to build stamina（耐力）.However，cycling does not allow for the same level of social contact as a walk. It is for this reason that I would strongly suggest that you try long-distance walking if you want to be physically healthy. I originally（最初）started walking around Xiamen because I didnt have a car，but I soon started to enjoy the walking for its own sake.I have also made many friends during my walks. Its not uncommon for my 5-mile walk to sometimes take as long as 2 or 3 hours，because I stop to chat with different shop owners along my route. These days，if I skip my walk for even one day，the people in the shops may want to know why I didnt come.I ll never forget the first time some people followed me when I was walking, and asked if it was okay for them to walk with me. I really didnt know what to say, so I just replied that I didnt mind. I have been invited for lunch, dinner and sometimes just to sit and drink tea with total strangers. There is nothing more pleasant than walking past a schoolyard and hearing all the kids say hello to me.24Why did the author have to take a walk at the very beginning?ABecause he wanted to build his body.BBecause he enjoyed walking.CBecause he had no car.DBecause he wished to make friends.25The underlined word skip in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to _.Ajump lightlyBgive upCleave outDchange quickly26What can be learned from the passage?ACycling allows for no social contact.BWalking is better than cycling.CTo be healthy，its better to cycle.DThe author prefers walking to cycling.27Why did the author tell us his walking experience in the last two paragraphs?ATo share the unforgettable experience with us.BTo show us the meaning of walking in social contact.CTo tell us how to develop the habit of walking.DTo explain to us why a usual walk took him as long as 2 or 3 hours.C There are some differences between American English and British English. Some differences are quite interesting. When my friend Lily from London used the word larder, I didnt know what it meant. Realizing I didnt follow her, she used another word. I finally knew she wanted to find something to keep some food. The next word came up when we were planning a lunch date. She jotted down the date and time in her diary, while I marked my calendar. If she called me on the phone, she would ring me up. But if the line was busy, she would say the line was engaged. Most times, I can know what Lily means. Last week, she regretted sending her boys to watch an early morning tennis game without their fleeces. I thought that she meant without their jackets or something like those. Other times, we have to ask each other. She recently told me a funny tale about a woman who was pissed. I wondered what had made the lady angry. It turns out that pissed means drunk. Here is one more example. My British friend Jane was filling out a ticket at the grocery store（食品杂货店）recently. She asked the young man if he had a rubber. When she noticed he didnt follow her, she quickly asked for an eraser, which, in England, is often called a rubber. In order to communicate well with the British, we Americans should learn some words that the British use differently. And I think people who learn English as a second language should also realize that there are differences between American English and British English.28When Lily used the word larder, she was probably looking for a _.AcupBladderCcupboardDcooker29What does the underlined phrase jotted down in Paragraph 2 mean?AWrote down.BLeft behind.CLooked for.DSettled down.30According to the passage, Lily regretted sending her boys to watch a tennis game mainly because _. .Athe game was boringBshe wanted to spend time with her boysCshe didnt dress her boys in thick clothesD her boys got lost31What is the passage mainly about？AThe British way of using words.BSome new words the writers British friends taught her.CThe reasons why Americans cant follow the British at times.DSome words used differently in British English and American English.D For years scientists have been worried about the effects of air pollution on the earths natural conditions. Some believe the air inside many houses may be more dangerous than the air outside, may be one hundred times worse. Indoor air pollution can cause a person to feel tired, to suffer eye pain, headache and other problems. Some pollutants can cause breathing disorders, diseases of blood and even cancer. Most scientists agree that every modern house has some kind of indoor pollution. People have paid more attention to the problem now. It is true that when builders began making houses and offices they did not waste energy. To do this they build buildings that limited the flow of air between inside and outside. They also began using man-made building materials. These materials are now known to let out harmful gases. As the problem became more serious, scientists began searching for a way to deal with it. They discovered a natural pollution control system for buildinggreen plants. Scientists do not really know how plants control air pollution. They believe that a plants leaves absorb or take in the pollutants. In exchange the plant lets out oxygen through its leaves and tiny organizations on its roots. Scientists suggest that all buildings should have one large plant or several small plants inside for every nine square meters of space. Studies of different plants show that each absorbs different chemicals. So the most effective way to clean the air is to use different kinds of plants. Having green plants inside your house can make it a prettier and more healthy place. 32. Generally speaking, indoor air pollution may be more harmful than the air outside because_. A. indoor air pollution can often make people seriously ill B. there may be more harmful gases outside the buildings C. the man-made building materials give off dangerous gases inside houses D. the air indoors is polluted, which is very harmful33. Some kind of indoor pollution can be found in _. A. every old house B. every modern house C. all kinds of houses D. all kinds of offices34. The indoor air pollution is caused by _. A. the man-made building materials and the limit of air-flow B. the building way that the builders want to save energy C. the building things that are made of man-made materials D. the limit of the flow of air between inside and outside35. The reason why we should use different kinds of plants to clean the air is that _. A. plants can let out all kinds of pollutants indoors B. plants may take in more oxygen which people need C. plants can make our houses prettier and more healthy D. plants can absorb different kinds of harmful indoor chemicals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。A good book can be satisfying.
