The koala with thick hair looks cute but it has very sharp teeth and claws (爪子). Food: The koala eats eucalyptus leaves (桉树叶). Each koala eats about 500 grams of leaves per day. Habit: The koala sleeps for up to 16—18 hours. It prefers to move around in the evening. Baby fact: A healthy female koala can have one child each year. A baby koala is very small when it is born—only a quarter of an inch. It has no hair and it can’t see either. It lives in its mother’s pouch (育儿袋) for half a year. During this time, it only drinks its mother’s milk. Danger: The number of koalas in Australia is getting smaller every year, mainly because of people. People cut down a lot of trees, so many koalas have no places to live in and they don’t have enough leaves to eat. There are fewer than 100,000 koalas in the world. Some scientists say if people don’t protect them, we won’t have any koalas within 30 years. 41．When does the koala often move around ? A．In the morning. B．In the evening. C．In the afternoon. D．At weekends. 42．If someone sees a newly born koala, he will find that ___________________. A.it can see everything B.it is really small C.it has thick hair D.it is very big 43．The koala is in danger now. The main reason is that __________________. A．big animals eat them B．people hunt them for their fur C．people cut down many trees D．They often kill each other B Every year, a lot of young people in Britain finish school and then take a year off before they start work or go to university. Some people go to other countries and work as volunteers. Volunteers give their time to help people — for example, they work in schools or hospitals, or they help with environmental protection. Pauline Jones, 18, comes from Cardiff, Wales. Next year she wants to go to a university to start studying Spanish, but now she is living in Belize, a small country in Central America. Pauline says, “I'm working with other people here to protect the coral reefs (珊瑚礁) in the sea near Belize. The reefs here are beautiful, but if the sea water is polluted, the coral dies. I'm helping to study the coral and the fish that live around the reefs. All over the world, coral reefs are dying. We need to do something about the problem before it's too late.” “I'm staying with a family here. They are very friendly and I help with the cooking and the cleaning. I don't get any money, but that's OK. I love my work here, and I have learned a lot about the people of Belize — and myself. When I finish my work, I want to stay here for another three months. I plan to visit other countries in Central America too.” ( )44. From the passage, we can know that Pauline _______. A.comes from Belize B. is good at Spanish C. makes a lot of money D. is away from her family ( )45. Which of the following volunteer work does Pauline do? ①helping in a hospital ② helping to study fish ③ protecting coral reefs ④ teaching in a school A. ①② B. ③④ C. ①④ D. ②③ ( )46. The passage is probably from a _______. A.diary B. guidebook C. magazine D. dictionary C For his eleventh birthday, Tom was given a gift that would shape his life. On that day his father took him to the Children’s Activity Centre and said he could choose any course that interested him. There was just one requirement (要求): Tom would have to promise to study it for at least one year. Tom had many hobbies, but none kept his interest for more than a week or two. His mum once gave him a bag of stamps to encourage stamp collecting. That hobby lasted a week. Then his father got him some paints hoping that Tom’s artistic side would shine through. Those paints were now under his bed, still unopened. This time Tom’s parents would let him decide. Tom’s eyes moved down the noticeboard that listed (列出) all the courses on offer. The first course was “Photography”. He liked the idea of taking beautiful pictures but he notice said that each student needed their own camera. Although Tom’s family weren’t poor, they weren’t rich either, and a camera cost a lot of money. He continued looking. The next course to catch his eye was “Language Art”. He didn’t even know what that meant. His father explained that it taught people how to make public speeches. Tom, a shy boy, could think of nothing worse. Then he saw “cooking”, which sounded like something he’d like to do. It was inexpensive and convenient. It could be done alone and it was also creative. Based on Tom’s hobby history, his dad had doubts (怀疑), but he agreed. Much to his parents’ surprise, he practiced at home, making delicious meals for his family. Everyone looked forward to birthdays, when they could eat his cakes. Tom got great satisfaction from the pleasure his food brought to others. The months turned to years but his hobby never changed again. Now Tom is an adult and runs a successful restaurant. When customers say they enjoy his meal, he still gets the same pleasure he did as a child, and remembers the special gift he received all those years ago. 47.How long did Tom’s hobby of collecting stamps last? A. A week B. A month C. Three weeks D. A year 48. Why didn’t Tom choose to study photography? A. Because was very shy. B.Because he wasn’t interested in it. C. Because his course was not offered. D. Because camera was too expensive. 49. Which of the following is true? A. “Cooking” was expensive and convenient. B. “Language Art” taught people what speeches were. C. Tom started to learn “Cooking” at the age of eleven. D. The paints Tom’s father bought for him was used for a week. 50. Why did the father have doubts about Tom’s choice of cooking? A. Because Tom wasn’t good at cooking. B. Because of Tom’s hobby history C. Because Tom was shy. D. Because cooking wasn’t a good hobby for a boy. （二）阅读下面短文，从所给选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺，结构完整，其中有一项是多余选项。 Flu (流感) easily spreads from one person to another.
