The 18-year-old star with some other surfers sailed out to reach the dolphins in order to stop them from being driven into a nearby pool and killed, but the six surfers, from Australia and the United States, were stopped by a fishing boat before they could reach them. The fishermen blocked their way with a boathook(钩篙). It was an ugly, unfriendly and life-threatening struggle before the surfers were forced to return to the beach. It is believed that the dolphins were later taken into a pool and killed. Panettiere, who is a brave surfer and loyal animal protector, made up her mind to save the dolphins of Japan and said, It was really frightening. Some of us were hit by the boathook, but in the end all we were really worried about was the dolphins. It was so sad. We were so close to them and they were jumping out of the water to see us. Breaking down in tears, she added, One little baby dolphin stuck his head out and looked at me and the thought that its no longer with us is really hard to take. The surfers left the country to avoid arrest(逮捕) by the Japanese police. Panettiere is now back in Los Angeles. More than 22,000 dolphins are killed by fishermen in Japan every year. Many Japanese believe dolphins should be treated like fish. They have been hunting dolphins for centuries and see any criticism(批评) of this as an attack on their culture.36. Why did the surfers get into trouble with the fishermen in Japan? A. They said something that hurt the fishermen. B. They entered a pool which wasnt allowed to go into. C. They attacked Japanese culture. D. They tried to stop the fishermen from killing the dolphins.37. From paragraph 3, we can learn that Panettiere . A. was really frightened and sad B. succeeded in saving the dolphins C. cried when they were hit by the boathook D. didnt like the Japanese fishermen38. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage? A. What Happened While Surfing in Japan B. Hayden Panettiere Cried in the Sea of Japan C. People Worldwide Are Against Killing Dolphins D. Protect the Wild AnimalsB Tragedy at the Circus In yesterdays circus(马戏团) show, a tiger suddenly attacked its trainer and had to be shot dead. As the circus packed up and left, circus officials said the show would go on, even without tigers. However, the officials cant simply turn a blind eye to the ethical problems left behind. Even before this tragedy, animal rights activists protested against keeping wild animals in unnatural conditions and forcing them to suffer for the profit of circus organizers. It is now time for us to take effective steps to make sure that circus animals are treated properly. Circus Safe for Animals Our circus recently suffered a most tragic event in its history. While we are thankful for the pity from the public, we are also astonished by the opinion expressed in “Tragedy at the Circus.” First, our performing animals are not taken from the wild. As to the ethical problems, we always believe humans and animals canand shouldlive together nicely. To us, the performing animals are representatives of their species, and our circus is one of the only places left willing to support this special role of performing animals in the existence of the species. Those who argue that circus life is harmful to animals show little knowledge of these facts. Life in the “wild” is unsafe, but a continuous struggle for existence. To overlook these realities is the greatest fault against the animal kingdom. This circus has proven that animals are stronger and smarter than we could imagine. Within the circus is a joyful atmosphere for both animals and humans: people are educated, and species saved.39. What is the main purpose of the first passage? A. To show pity for the performing animals. B. To express worries about animal trainers safety. C. To deal with the difficult situations of the circus. D. To call for action to protect circus animals.40. What will the circus most probably do? A. Take no notice of the tragedy. B. Continue its performances. C. Use fewer wild animals. D. Limit its profit.41. What does the circus think of its performing animals? A. They are as clever as human beings. B. They struggle continuously with human beings for existence. C. They are helpful in saving their species. D. They have equally natural living conditions as wild animals.42. What is the most probable relationship between the two passages? A. A public request and a newspaper report. B. A newspaper article and a reply to it. C. Two parts of a newspaper article. D. Two newspaper reports.C At the beginning of the 20th century there were more than a million lions worldwide. Today there are less than 30,000 in the wild. The remaining lions are increasingly threatened by habitat loss, hunting and activities to protect farms and cattle. For generations, Masai tribesmen on the large African plains in southeastern Kenya have hunted lionsto protect their farms and cattle. Today they celebrate the lions life. Noah is an elder in the Masai community. We have decided as a community of the Masai to lay down our spears, and there will be no more killing of lions in our community. He is part of a group of Masai visiting the United States promoting the Predator(捕食性动物) Compensation Program. Conservation Internationals Frank Hawkins explains, The Masai have been living with wildlife for many generations and it has been a conflicting relationship in many ways. They compete with the animals for food as lions eat their cattle. Were trying to find ways in which the wildlife will become something useful to them. They had the Predator Compensation Fund founded in 2003.After much discussion, a group of Masai farmers agreed to protect lions. In turn, if lions or other predators kill their cattle, the Masai owner will be paid market value for the dead animals from the fund. One man said that in the past, when a lion killed cattle, they killed it on the spot. And now, after the start of the program, the Masai see the lion population growing. Since 2003, only four lions have been killed here.43. What is this passage mainly about? A. The wildlife in the world. B. Lions and the Masai. C. The reason why lions are killed. D. The living ways of the Masai.44. What is the aim of the Predator Compensation Program? A. To protect people in the wild. B. To help the Masai protect their farms and cattle. C. To protect lions only. D. To protect the wildlife.45. According to the passage, why havent Masai tribesmen killed many lions since 2003? A. Because lions dont eat their cattle any more. B. Because they will be fined if they kill lions there. C. Because if a lion kills their cattle, they will be paid for the dead animals from the fund. D. Because there are less than 30,000 lions in the wild now.46. What do you think of the Masai? A. Reasonable.B. Cruel.C. Poor.D. Stupid.D Custom tattooed fish (纹身鱼) may be big sellers at markets, but an animal expert say it is a cruel and potentially lethal practice. In Laitai Flower and Fish Market near the Lufthansa Center in Beijing, four of over 20 fish stores sell marine ornamental fish that are tattooed using laser(激光) guns with beautiful images in order to make them more attractive to customers. Many people just love these kinds of fish, which gives them a unique visual impression. The price of these fish ranges from 50-100 yuan. Some customers are willing to pay an additional 100 yuan to have Chinese characters tattooed on to the fish. The most popular characters are “zhaocai” (attracting fortune) and “fu” (blessing). The color of tattooed fish wont fade away, and the fish can be cared for as regular fishes: But Ye Zhenjiang, a professor from the Ocean University of China, said “the practice would damage a fishs mackerel scale, which is its protective layer Although I havent done any research on the impact of the laser on mackerel scale, it is obvious that the mackerel scale may be infected or even destroyed under the exposure of laser,” Ye said. “Its like tattooing a human beings body, and it breaks the physiological balance of the fish and damages: the skins protective surface, It may even cause death among fishes which have thin mackerel scale.” A specialist in aquatic(永生的) animal study surnamed Xu, from the Beijing Fisheries Research Institute, said, “We have no specific regulations to prevent fish from being tattooed. An official surnamed Bai from the Fishery Surveillance and Administration Bureau (FSAB), said there is no study showing that the laser threatened a fishs health. He said a regulation on small animal protection, to be passed in the near future, doesnt include regular aquatic animals. He said the institution is only responsible for aquatic animals that are on the verge of extinction. He said tattooed fish are mainly from south Chinas Guangdong province because Beijing does not have the laser technology to tattoo a fish. “Its too brutal to tattoo pictures or characters on fishes, even if it makes them more beautiful,” many tropical fish buyers told METRO yesterday. “We would never buy fish like that and we prefer them with natural beauty.”47. Which of the following is NOT true according to the text? A. Tattooed fish can be harder to raise B. Tattooed fish give people a unique visual impression C. Tattooed fish look more attractive to customers D. The color of tattooed fish will stay for ever48. From Ye Zhenjiangs talk, we know that . A. It is illegal to tattoo fish by laser B. It may be a disaster for fish to be tattooed C. People can tattoo fish in other parts except mackerel scale D. The mackerel scale of fish is easy to destroy49. It can be inferred from the passage that . A. Beijing did not have the laser technology to tattoo a fish B. The FSAB will pass a regulation on tattooed fish C. The price of tattooed fish is much higher than that of regular fish D. The youth would buy tattooed fish the moment they see them四、短文7选5(5选5等)（共5小题；共10.0分） 50. It might understand more than you think. A dog named Rico recognizes the names of about 200 objects, say researchers in Germany. 51. Its word-learning skills are as good as those of a parrot or chimpanzee. In one experiment, the researchers took all 200 items that Rico is supposed to know and divided them into 20 groups of 10 objects. 52. In four tests, Rico got 37 out of 40 commands right. As the dog couldnt see anyone to get clues, the scientists believe Rico must understand the meanings of certain words. In another experiment, the scientists took one toy that Rico had never seen before and put it in a room with seven toys whose names the dog already knew. 53. The correct object was chosen in seven out of 10 tests, suggesting that the dog had worked out the answer by process of removing. A month later, Rico remembered half of the new names, which is even more impressive. 54. Even if they do, they cant talk back. Still, it wouldnt hurt to sweet-talk your dog every now and then. You might just get a big, wet kiss in return! A. The owner then told Rico to fetch the object, using a word the dog had never heard before. B. Do dogs more understand us than some friends? C.
