Last summer holiday, Aunt Emily took us to a safari park (野生动物园), not far from Liverpool.

I was very happy to go as I had never been to a safari park before. It’s a very interesting park, full of wild animals running freely.

When we got there, we bought our tickets and drove into the park. We were very excited at the thought of going to see the lions. But to get to the lions’ place we had to go through the monkeys’ land first. And that was an unforgettable experience because they climbed all over the car, ate apples and bananas, and threw all kinds of things at us. They seemed very unfriendly.

Anyway, we went on our way to the lions’ place where we had to lock ourselves in the car as we knew lions could be dangerous. A lion came up very close to us. Then it was on the bonnet (车盖). It looked calm but we felt terrified. Aunt Emily, who isn’t very brave, started to call for help. The kids started crying. Only my brother, George, stayed cool. I sounded the horn (喇叭) but nobody heard us.

In the end a guard arrived in his car, and the lion just got off our car and started smelling the guard’s hand as if nothing was the matter.

24. Which animal did the author want to see the most?

A. The lions.  B. The elephants.  C. The monkeys.  D. All of them.

25. Why did they lock themselves in the car?

A. Because the monkeys might steal things. B. Because they were afraid of being robbed.

C. Because the lions might be dangerous.  D. Because something was wrong with the car.

26. What does the underlined word “terrified” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A. Excited.  B. Bored.   C. Interested   D. Scared

27. Who stayed calm among the visitors when they met the lion?

A. Aunt Emily. B. George.   C. All of the kids.   D. The author.

It is common to see most live streamers(网络直播）sitting in front of a desk in a well-decorated room. But Zeng Qinghuan, a 30-year old from Xinhua County in Loudi, Hunan, has turned her whole village into a live streaming set. Her goal is to use e-commerce（电子商务）to help her people live a better life.

Known as “Xiangmei Xinbao” on Douyin, Zeng now has more than 3 million followers. One of her videos about traditional ways of planting and harvesting rice has attracted more than 300,000 followers.

Zeng used to study fashion design and has worked in some big cities before. In 2019 she returned to her village to care for her sick grandmother. She then found that she could build a career there—by being a live streamer with the help of her cousin.

At the beginning, she didn’t make any money. Zeng’s parents didn’t give her any support until she could stand on her own feet and help people sell their products. She has now sold local agricultural products worth tens of millions of yuan, like fermented tofu, preserved pork（腌制猪肉）and dried sweet potatoes.

“I’m a daughter of the great mountains. I can also be a contributor to rural development in these new times,” she said.

Rural revitalization (乡村振兴) is a key part of China’s 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25). Zeng hopes her experience can encourage more young people to return to their rural hometowns and start their own businesses. In 2021, after she became a deputy (代表) of the Loud Municipal People’s Congress, she put forward a proposal to ensure that “each village has one product and one live streaming host of its own”. She plans to help train 100 social media influencers from her county within three years, and two villages have taken part in the project, “I believe that the rural areas will become a big stage, and being a farmer will be seen as a respectable job too.” said Zeng.

28. What do we know about Zeng’s live streaming career?

A. It was encouraged by her sick grandmother.

B. It brought her a fortune as soon as it was started.

C. It was a great success with the help of her parents.

D. It inspired more local villagers to follow.

29. What is Zeng going to do from the last paragraph?

A. Invite more young people to her hometown.

B. Train more social media influencers in her county.

C. Expand(扩大) her business to make more money.

D. Produce more agricultural products to help the farmers.

30. Which of the following best describes Zeng?

A. Hard-working and determined.   B. Funny and honest.

C. Gifted and faithful.   D. Caring and fashionable.

31. What may be the best title of the passage?

A. A way of ordinary people’s better life  B. A travel path to the country areas

C. A way of a village girl’s success   D. A road to Rural revitalization

D

   Some people think that as more and more people have televisions in their homes, fewer and fewer people will buy books and newspapers. Why read an article in the newspaper, when the TV news can bring you the information in a few minutes and with pictures? Why read the life story of a famous man, when a short television program can tell you all that you want to know?

    Television has not killed reading, however. Today, newspapers sell in very large numbers. And books of every kind are sold more than ever before. Books are still a cheap way to get information and enjoyment. Although some books with hard covers are expensive, many books are printed today as paperbooks (平装本), which are quite cheap. A paperback collection of short stories, for example, is always cheaper than an evening at the cinema or the theater, and you can keep a book forever and read it many times.

    Books are a wonderful provider of knowledge and pleasure and some types of books should be in every home. Every home should have a good dictionary. A good encyclopedia (百科全书), though expensive, is useful, too, because you can find information on any subject. Besides, you can have such books as history books, science textbook, cookbooks, and collections of stories and poems. Then from time to time you can take a book of poems off your shelves and read the thoughts and feelings of your favorite poets.

32. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

A. TV programs are a chief provider of knowledge

B. cinemas are the best choice in getting information

C. reading is a cheap way of learning and having fun

D. newspapers are an expensive way to enjoy oneself

33. What does the sentences “Television has not killed reading, however ” underlined in the second paragraph suggest?

A. People only need reading, though.  B. Reading is still necessary today.

C. Reading is more fun than television. D. Watching television doesn’t help reading.

34. Which of the following is mainly discussed in the last paragraph?

A. Types of books.      B. Kinds of dictionaries.

C. Lists of history books     D. Collections of stories and poems.

35. What can we learn from the passage?

A. Fewer and fewer people will buy books.

B. A good dictionary should be kept in every home.

C. Books with hard covers sell better than paperbooks.

D. More people like TV programs about famous men.

For two days after the advertisement first appeared, there was no     47     . But then on Saturday evening he had an enquiry(咨询).

The next morning, at a quarter to ten, Tom parked the car in the square outside his front door,      51      to wait there for the people who had      52      his advertisement. Even Tom had to       53     that the car really looked like a wreck (残骸). Then, soon after he had got the car as clean       54     it could be, a police car stopped just behind him and a policeman got out. He looked at Tom’s car and then said, “Have you reported this      55      to us yet, sir?”
