The zoos give the animals the comfortable and safe living places. If the animals get hurt or ill, people will take care of them. The zoo is a good place to know the rules in the wild world. We can be much closer to nature. We can know more about the animals in the zoos by watching, listening even smelling instead of just looking at the pictures in books.Some people dont think animals feel happy in the zoos. Animals like pandas, wolves and bears usually live in the wild. They play and find food by themselves. They are free and happy in the wild. If they are in the zoos, food is enough and rooms are comfortable. They do not need to do their best to find food to eat or places to stay in. They just walk around, sleep day and night, but they are not free at all.I think we should build national parks as wild life nature reserves to protect animals. If we do nothing, animals will get fewer and fewer.Help save the animalsIn the_The zoos_the animals with comfortable and safe living places.People will look_the animals if they get hurt or ill.People can be much _to nature.People can_, listen even smell to know more about the animals.Animals dont_about their food or rooms.Animals just walk around,_day and night, but they are not free at all.In the wildAnimals play and have to find food on their_Animals are_and happy.I think we should build national parks to _animals.四、 翻译句子 (共1题；共2分)25. （2分）有人担心将来机器人会取代人类。Some people worry that robots will take the place of humans _ the _.五、 短文填空 (共1题；共10分)26. （10分）短文填空。根据上下文和首字母提示填空（每空限填一词）Miracles（奇迹）will happen if you dont give up trying.

He had never seen such beautiful falcons before. He loved them so much and he ordered the best falconer to train them to fly.After several months, the king came to see how the training was going on. He found that one falcon had already been able to fly high in the sky, while the other one was staying on the branch(树枝) of a tree quietly without moving.The king called all his falconers together and ordered them to try every way they could to make it fly. But none of them succeeded. One day, while the king was taking a walk in the forest, an idea came to his mind. He decided to find someone who knew the natural environment well to solve the problem. Then he sent for a farmer who lived in the forest into his palace to train it at once.The next morning, the king saw the other falcon flying above in the sky freely. It is unbelievable! shouted the king. How could you make it happen?
