It said that as soon as that princess found her palace, she would be the wisest and fairest queen (女王). The royal (王室的) family lived in a beautiful palace. But there was a great earthquake. The palace fell down and the king and the queen were killed because of it. Their two daughters, Princess Nora and Princess Sabina, saved their lives luckily. After the earthquake, Nora understood that she might be the princess mentioned in the prophecy. They began to find the new palace. They met an old man who gave them an old key. It would open the palace door. The sisters tried the key on all the palace doors they found. Finally, neither did they have any money left. When they arrived at a poor village, they had to work in the fields with the poor people. The sisters lived there for years. People loved them so much that they were very happy. One night, Sabina found the old key and they remembered their search for their palace again. Nora said, “I am very happy now. If I had to choose a palace, it would be this little house.” She placed the key in the door. Just then, the room filled with lights and music, a wonderful palace appearing. ( )24.

Simply standing up for three hours a day is as good for you as running ten marathons (马拉松) a year, an expert has said. Dr Mike Loosemore says that even small amounts of exercise can make a difference to health. The government advises that people spend half an hour a day, five days a week doing exercise. But Dr Loosemore said only 7% of the men and 4% of the women follow the advice. More than a quarter of adults fail to exercise for just half an hour a week, making Britain one of the least active countries in the world. Speaking on BBC 4’s “Today” program, he said, “The message I want to try to pass is that small amounts of physical (体力的) activity are doing you a lot of good — even just standing up is good. If you stand up and work standing up, which I do, three hours a day, five days a week, that would be tantamount to running ten marathons a year.” Dr Loosemore said that people were “completely wrong” to think that small changes, such as standing up more, are meaningless. “It can improve their health, reduce (降低) the risk of heart problems, and make them thinner,” he said. ( )28. How long does the British government advise people to exercise every week? A. 2 hours. B. 2.5 hours. C. 7 hours D. 8 hours. ( )29. What does the underlined word “tantamount” in Paragraph 3 mean? A. 不同于 B. 相悖于 C. 相当于 D. 相比较 ( )30. What does Dr Loosemore often do? A. Go to the gym. B. Give speeches on “Today”. C. Run marathons. D. Stand up when working. ( )31. What did Dr Loosemore agree upon? A. Standing up more is of little importance. B. Standing up makes people put on weight. C. Standing up brings more risk of serious health problems. D. Standing up makes the chance of heart problems lower. D Many people’s closest experience with wild animals is at the zoo. It’s a place where we can see and learn about animals. It’s really fun and educational for us. However, is it the best place for animals to live in? In the past, people could only see dead animals in museums. But later, animals were caught alive by explorers (探险家). They put them in small zoos called menageries and showed them to the public. Back then, people didn’t care much about how animals were treated. But now, zoos and wildlife parks have changed a lot. People try to make zoos more like their natural homes. They build bigger places, and try to make the environment as close to the nature as possible. Some people think it’s not right to keep animals in zoos just for our entertainment (娱乐). But zoos say they are trying to help animals by teaching us about protecting them. And now, zoos that are run well also help to support and pay for programs that protect animals. Zoos help to save animals that are in danger of disappearing because of climate (气候) change. Robert Young, an expert on protecting animals, says that zoos are important because they keep many animals from going extinct. Some zoos have special programs to help animals have babies so they don’t die out. Although people still talk about whether having zoos is good or not, there are new ways to learn about wild animals. For example, we can use the VR (虚拟现实) technology. Many zoo experts believe it will be possible to walk through a group of elephants in the Serengeti very soon. 32. Where did people first start showing animals alive to the public? A. In museums. B. In backyards. C. In menageries. D. In natural parks. 33. What are the zoos trying to do to help animals? A. Show them to the public. B. Teach us about protecting them. C. Set up programs to raise money for them. D. Encourage visitors to visit them with the VR technology. 34. What does the underlined word “extinct” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Alive. B. Dead. C. Protected. D. Active. 35. What is the best title for the passage? A. The Past of the Zoo B. The Future of the Zoo C. The Development of the Zoo D. Ways to Keep Animals in the Zoo 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5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，选项中有一个是多余的。 Do you know what to do when you have a fever?

In your letter you said that you always felt lonely because of having few friends. I think it is time to join some clubs in the school. You can make more friends who share the same interest with you by doing this. What’s more, you’d better be friendly to others. Smile at others and you are sure to get a smile in return. On the other hand, you find it difficult to remember English words. In my opinion, you can memorize English words well by reading more English stories and news. It’s a practical way, isn’t it? Also, if you develop a habit of keeping an English diary every day, it’ll be easier for you to remember more words. Good luck with everything! Connie ( 第 7 页 共 7 页 ) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
