B Few would have expected that viewers at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics would include animals. And yet, besides the exciting events, news reports also focused on several sightings of wildlife, especially leopard cats. On Jan 31, on the alpine ski slopes in Yanqing district, 90 kilometers northwest of Beijing, a leopard cat was found walking through an award-ceremony rehearsal. The event caught the attention of volunteers and staff, with many snapping photos. Three days later, a Chinese photographer captured another leopard cat in the woods near the Olympic ski slopes. The creature ran past him, jumped over a fence and looked back. Leopard cats are wild fields (猫科动物), slightly larger than house cats, and they mostly keep clear of human activity. However, according to Luo Shujin, a skier and a conservation biologist at Peking University, the frequent appearance of the animals close to the ski runs shows that the species has lived in this area relatively close to Beijing where human takes charge. Strangely, their calm manner suggests they are not frightened by human activity. Without any research date, it is too early to draw any conclusions that the creation of the Olympic skiing venue(体育场馆) has not influenced the surrounding forests and wildlife. However, it's possible that the wildcats have already got used to living with humans, likely because people at the venue have not shown an aggressive attitude toward the animals since it started being built. According to Luo, wild cats are seldom seen so close to big cities. “I think this is a little-known side of Beijing, ”says Luo, who is proud that such wildlife can be found so close to the capital city. “Such an event causes me to hope that we can try our best to ensure the balance between wildlife and human.” 49. Which of the following best describes the presence of leopard cats around the venue? A. Embarrassing. B. Unexpected C. Frightening. D. Common. 50. What is the natural characteristic of a leopard cat? A. Friendly to humans. B. Interested in camera light. C. Excited about sports. D. Afraid of human activity. 51. What does the underlined “it”(in Paragraph 9)refer to? A. The venue. B. The leopard cat. C. The research. D. The ski slope. 52. Which of the following may Professor Luo agree with? A. Wildlife should not be influenced by humans. B. Wildlife need to be kept away from big cities. C. Humans should live peacefully with wildlife. D. Humans need to get used to the wild lifestyles. C The days pass. Dorothy works very hard in the kitchen. She remembers Uncle Henry and Aunt Em in Kansas. She remembers her friends, the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman. She's very sad and she often cries. At night she goes to see the Lion. The Witch doesn't give him anything to eat or drink, so Dorothy takes him food and water from the kitchen.

Scientists research the ways animals use to look for food. They study how animals protect themselves from their predators, and which animals kill other animals for food. All of this helps us understand how useful animals can be. Each country or culture raises some animals for food. In the United States, people mainly eat meat from cows, chickens and pigs. In other countries, people might raise sheep or buffalo(水牛) for meat. These differences come in part from weather and other environmental conditions. People around the world eat all kinds of fish and shellfish from oceans and rivers. In some countries, people don't always choose some animal groups, such as dogs, for food while in other counties such animals may become people's favorite food. In west Africa, animals provide humans with more than food. They have been helping people do daily work for thousands of years. Horses, oxen, and other work animals pull heavy things. Elephants, camels and other animals carry people and things from place to place. Carrier pigeons(信鸽) have been used to seed messages. People also receive health benefits(利益) from animals. For example, dogs and-cats can help calm people- down. This is helpful for people fighting illnesses. Animals can also reduce stress, helping people to draw their attention to learning new information, such as reading. When people are walking their dogs or horses, it encourages exercise. Animals and humans share space on Earth, so keeping a healthy relationship(关系) with animals around us is in our best interest. 58. Which if the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. People around the world eat all kinds of fish. B. Horses are helpful for people fighting illnesses. C. Elephants encourage humans to do more exercise. D. Africans mainly eat meat from cows, chickens and pigs. 59.Which of the following is the structure(结构) of the passage? A. A. B. . C. D. 60. What is the passage mainly about? A. Where animals live and how they look for food. B. The relationship between animals and humans. C. The different things animals can do in different countries. D. What humans should do when communicating(交流) with animals. 五、信息还原(共5题。每题2分。共10分) A friend of yours just got a new haircut. Deep down，you think it's terrible. However，you say it looks beautiful.
