Russel remembers the summer he turned 16. It was the summer he wrestled (摔跤) with grizzly bears (棕熊).
It all started when Russell worked as an animal trainer at Wasatch Rocky Mountain Wildlife. Wasatch Wildlife is an animal-training center in Utah, in the USA. At the center, Dough and Lynne train animals to be actors.
Dough and Lynne asked Russel to help look after two four-month-old grizzly baby bears named Little Bart and Honey Bump. That’s more difficult than it sounds. Baby bears are big!
Russel’s job was to play with the bears. This teaches them to be comfortable with humans. Playing with the bears was fun, but Russel had to remember bears are wild (野生的) animals.
“One time, Honey Bump took a bite (咬) out of my back and I had to wrestle her to the ground. But it also showed me how clever she is. She knew she had done something wrong and apologized by putting her head on my leg. ”
Russel found that bears can understand more than just “sit” and “stay”. For example, when Russel said “Peekaboo!” to one baby bear, he covered his eyes with his paws, just like a human child.
Russel didn’t earn much money for doing this job, but he enjoyed the experience. He also learned a lot from it. When you wrestle with a grizzly bear, things like work and exams don’t seem so difficult anymore.
36. In Paragraph 1, we can change the word “turned” to ________.
A. became B. grew up C. went around
37. Which of these sentences about Dough and Lynne is NOT true?
A. They are movie actors.

A. To play with the bears.
B. To teach the bears to sit and stay.
C. To teach the bears to live in the wild.
39. Why did Honey put her head on Russel’s leg?
A. Because she wanted to play with Russel.
B. Because she was so clever that she acted like a human.
C. Because she wanted to say “sorry” to Russel in this way.
40. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. Russel didn’t get enough money from this summer job.
B. Tests and schoolwork are good ways to get ready for a summer job.
C. Russel’s experience helped him get ready for other things in his life.
【答案】36. A 37. A 38. A 39. C 40. C
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了曾经作为动物训练员的Russel训练两只小熊的经历,在这个过程中,他发现熊能理解的不仅仅是“坐下”和“待着”,尽管这段工作经历没有让Russel得到更多的报酬,但是他从其中学到了许多。
【36题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段内容“the summer he turned 16”可以看出,这里的“turned”意思是“他变成16岁”,即“他16岁那年”。因此,“turned”可以替换为“became”。故选A。
【37题详解】

Kunqu Opera, also called Kunqiang or Kunju, is one of the oldest operas in China. It has a long history of over 600 years and it is called the Mother of Chinese Operas.

Then in the Ming Dynasty, Wei Liangfu, a great opera artist improved it and a new kind of opera, Kunqu Opera, came out. After that, more and more artists started to write plays. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Kunqu Opera was quite popular in China. It was always the No. 1 opera before Beijing Opera took its place because Beijing Opera was easier to learn.
Kunqu Opera has lots of excellent plays from the old times. Many of them are still popular today, such as The Peony Pavilion by Tang Xianzu, The Kite by Li Yu and The Peach Blossom Fan by Kong Shangren. The Peony Pavilion is the best of all Kunqu plays. It tells the love story between Liu Mengmei and Du Liniang around a number of dreams.
In 2001 UNESCO listed Kunqu Opera as one of the Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity (人类口头和非物质遗产代表作). And because of the hard work by opera artists and the help from our country, Kunqu Opera is coming back to life.

Russel remembers the summer he turned 16. It was the summer he wrestled (摔跤) with grizzly bears (棕熊).
It all started when Russell worked as an animal trainer at Wasatch Rocky Mountain Wildlife. Wasatch Wildlife is an animal-training center in Utah, in the USA. At the center, Dough and Lynne train animals to be actors.
Dough and Lynne asked Russel to help look after two four-month-old grizzly baby bears named Little Bart and Honey Bump. That’s more difficult than it sounds. Baby bears are big!
Russel’s job was to play with the bears. This teaches them to be comfortable with humans. Playing with the bears was fun, but Russel had to remember bears are wild (野生的) animals.
“One time, Honey Bump took a bite (咬) out of my back and I had to wrestle her to the ground. But it also showed me how clever she is. She knew she had done something wrong and apologized by putting her head on my leg. ”
Russel found that bears can understand more than just “sit” and “stay”. For example when Russel said “Peekaboo!” to one baby bear, he covered his eyes with his paws, just like a human child.
Russel didn’t earn much money for doing this job, but he enjoyed the experience. He also learned a lot from it. When you wrestle with a grizzly bear, things like work and exams don’t seem so difficult anymore.

A. They are movie actors.
B. They are animal trainers.
C. They work at Wasatch Rocky Mountain Wildlife.
38. What was the main thing that Doug and Lynne wanted Russel to do?
A. To play with the bears.
B. To teach the bears to sit and stay.
C. To teach the bears to live in the wild.
39. Why did Honey put her head on Russel’s leg?
A. Because she wanted to play with Russel.
B. Because she was so clever that she acted like a human.
C. Because she wanted to say “sorry” to Russel in this way.
40 What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A Russel didn’t get enough money from this summer job.
B. Tests and schoolwork are good ways to get ready for a summer job.
C. Russel’s experience helped him get ready for other things in his life.
B
Kunqu Opera, also called Kunqiang or Kunju, is one of the oldest operas in China. It has a long history of over 600 years and it is called the Mother of Chinese Operas.
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty (元朝), Gu Jian, an artist in Kunshan near Suzhou, worked together with other artists and they first created (创作) Kunshan qiang.

Many of them are still popular today, such as The Peony Pavilion by Tang Xianzu, The Kite by Li Yu and The Peach Blossom Fan by Kong Shangren. The Peony Pavilion is the best of all Kunqu plays. It tells the love story between Liu Mengmei and Du Liniang around a number of dreams.
In 2001, UNESCO listed Kunqu Opera as one of the Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity (人类口头和非物质遗产代表作). And because of the hard work by opera artists and the help from our country, Kunqu Opera is coming back to life.
