Are you tired of Mom or Dad dragging you to the same old petting zoos, where (if youre lucky) you might get to touch a little rabbit or goat?Mom or Dad! Are you tired of hearing your kids complain about how animals in the same old petting zoos are monotonous?Consider This:The fact is that most mammals are boringly warm, furry, and come in a limited range of dull colors. Reptiles, on the other hand, are cold-blooded and covered with scale of attractive colors, from bright green to bright red to dark purple-red. Some, like the chameleon, can even CHANGE colors. Did you ever see a rabbit with scales and a purple tongue almost as long as its body? NO! In our zoos, you can see pet skink, snakes, bearded dragons, and other fascinating creatures! Learn what these reptiles eat and how they care for their babies, which ones live in the desert and which live in wetlands, which ones are meat-eaters and which are vegetarians, which ones are deadly poisonous and which are not.So Remember:If youre bored with furry animals like rabbitsThen the place for YOU is the Reptile Petting Zoo!Bring the WHOLE family Grandpa, Grandma, Cousin Irene, even baby Joe!

What youve read is most probably a(n) _.A. advertisementB. noticeC. news reportD. book reviewCMost of the time, people wear hats to protect themselves from harsh weather conditions. Hats are also worn to show politeness and as signs of social position. But nowadays, hats, especially womens hats, are much more than that. More exactly, hats have changed into fashion and style symbols by many movie stars. Whats more, people now consider many different features (特点) when choosing even a simple hat. Many designers point out that, when choosing the right hat, its important to consider the color of your skin as well as your hair, your height, and the shape of your face.First of all, the color of the hat should match the color of your skin and hair. For instance, black hats should be avoided if you are dark skinned. If a purple hat is placed on top of red hair, one will look as attractive as a summer flower. Second, the height of the hat is also an important point. Tall women should not go for hats with tall crowns, just as short women should choose hats with upturned brims to give the look of height. Third, and most importantly, the shape of the face decides the kind of hat one should pick. A small, gentle hat that fits the head looks good on a small face. However, women with big, round faces should choose a different style.As the saying goes, “Fine feathers make fine birds.” A good hat can not only help your dress but also support your features, so why not choose the best possible one next time you want to be in public?8. What does the underlined word “harsh” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Good.B. Strange.C. Poor.D. Different.9. According to the article, which of the following women would look most attractive?A. A big-faced woman who wears a small, nice hat.B. A short red-haired woman who wears a purple hat.C. A tall woman who wears a hat with a huge upturned brim.D. A small dark-skinned woman who wears a black hat with a tall crown.10. What does the last paragraph suggest?A. Hats are worn on the head to keep warm.B. Hats can help you look better in public.C. Hats are not as important as character.D. Hats can make you look much taller.11. What is the best title for the article?A. How to Choose a Proper HatB. How to Improve Your FeaturesC. How to Show Your Social PositionD. How to Design a Nice HatDSpecial Bridges Help Animals Cross the RoadReported by Sheila CarrickWhy did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side.Most people know this joke. But recently, some people have been much more worried about how the grizzly bear and mountain lion can cross the road.“Millions of animals die each year on U. S. roads,” the Federal Highway Administration reports. In fact, only about 80 ocelots, an endangered wild cat, exist in the U. S. today. The main reason? Road kill.“Ecopassages” may help animals cross the road without being hit by cars. They are paths both over and under roads. “These ecopassages can be extremely useful, so that wildlife can avoid road accidents,” said Jodi Hilty of the Wildlife Protection Society.But do animals actually use the ecopassages? The answer is yes. Paul Beier of Northern Arizona University found foot marks left by mountain lions on an ecopassage that went under a highway. This showed that the lions used the passage.Builders of ecopassages try to make them look like a natural part of an area by planting trees on and around them. Animals seem to be catching on. Animals as different as salamanders and grizzly bears are using the bridges and underpasses.The next time you visit a park or drive through an area with a lot of wildlife, look around. You might see an animal overpass!12. The writer uses the example of “ocelots” to show that _.A. wild animals have become more dangerousB. the driving conditions have improved greatlyC. the measure for protecting wildlife fails to workD. an increasing number of animals are killed in road accidents13. From the news story, we know an ecopassage is _.A. a pass for animals to cross the roadB. an underground path for carsC. a fence built for the safety of the areaD. a bridge for animals to get over a river14. What does the writer mean by saying “Animals seem to be catching on.”?A. Animals begin to realize the dangers on the road.B. Animals begin to learn to use ecopassages.C. Animals are crossing the road in groups.D. Animals are increasing in number.15. The writer asks visitors and drivers to look around when traveling because _.A. wild animals may attack carsB. wild animals may jam the roadC. they may see wild animals in the parkD. they may see wild animals on ecopassages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。The Winners Guide to SuccessDo you know what makes people successful? To find out the answers, an American scholar recently visited some of the most successful people around the world. 16Be responsible for yourselfSometimes you may want to blame others for your failure to get ahead. In fact, when you say someone or something outside of yourself is stopping you from making success, youre giving away your own power. 17Write a planIt is very difficult to try to get what you want without a good plan. It is just like trying to drive through strange roads to a city far away. 18 Without this “map”, you may waste your time, money and also your energy; while with the “map” youll enjoy the “trip” and get what you want in the shortest possible time.Be willing to pay the price19 So you must be ready to work hard even harder than you have ever done. If you are not willing to pay the price, you wont get anything valuable.20It seems to us that everyone knows this. But it is easier said than done. When you are doing something, you must tell yourself again and again: Giving up is worse than failure because failure can be the mother of success, but giving up means the death of hope.A. Never give up.B. Nothing is easy to get.C. A good plan is like a map to you.D. Here are some keys to success that they give.E. Some people achieve success much later in life.F. Youre saying, “You have more control over my life than I do.”G. Someone elses opinion of you doesnt have to become your reality.本大题共两节，满分45分第一节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，共30分）There was once a clown (马戏团小丑) named Lemon. He was a lot of fun, but also very21 .
