I shouted at her, grabbed (抢夺) the crayons and ran back up to my room, shutting the door with a loud noise. I sat there for at least half an hour. Later, I heard Emily’s footsteps coming up the stairs. I noticed a folded piece of paper being pushed under the door. Once it reached my side of the door, I picked it up. As I read the words on the cover, my anger disappeared. Tears began to well up in my eyes. On the paper were the words “Best Sister”. Inside was a picture Emily had drawn of herself, which was a birthday gift for me. My sister used my crayons to make something special for me.

But are zoos actually a good thing? ②Some people are against keeping animals in zoos. In their opinion, animals often suffer a lot for being enclosed. Even the best zoos can’t provide the environment that animals have in the wild. It’s a pity that the animals living in the wild are caught, and then kept away from their families. This leads many zoo animals to feel nervous or sad. What’s worse, some zoo animals may even die earlier than their wild relatives. ③However, some people have different ideas. They think zoos can connect people with animals, educate the public to protect animals and call on people to save animals as well as their homes. Some zoos offer a safe place to those animals which have been badly treated. Also, to support international breeding (繁殖) program, zoos have special programs to produce more young animals, especially for the species (物种) which are in danger of dying out. In the wild, some of the endangered species have trouble in finding partners and having new baby animals. A good zoo will provide a safe environment for these species. Moreover, zoos also do research into animal behavior and how to treat their illnesses. ④So, are zoos good or not? It depends on how good the zoo is. It’s sure that zoos have more advantages (优势) than their harmful effects. But it is understandable that many people don’t agree to enclose animals for any reason. 23. Why does the author ask a question in the first paragraph? A. To introduce the topic. B. To provide the example. C. To express the feeling D. To explain the reason. 24. What can zoos do to help the international breeding program? A. To treat and take care of ill animals. B. To study animals and understand their behavior. C. To protect homes for the endangered animals. D. To increase the number of animals of some species. 25. What’s the structure of this text? A. B. C. D. 26. What is the author’s attitude (态度) towards zoos? A. He supports keeping animals in zoos. B. He disagrees to enclose animals in zoos. C. He thinks it better to has more zoos. D. He is neither for nor against keeping animals in zoos. 【答案】23. A 24. D 25. B 26. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章讨论了动物园到底是好还是不好的问题。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Zoos are very popular with adults and children. But are zoos actually a good thing?”以及下文主要讨论了动物园的利弊可知，这个问题是为了引出主题。故选A。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Also, to support international breeding (繁殖) program, zoos have special programs to produce more young animals, especially for the species (物种) which are in danger of dying out.”可知，动物园通过增加动物的数量来支持国际繁殖计划。故选D。 【25题详解】 篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段引出主题；第二段主要讲有些人反对在动物园养动物；第三段主要讲有些人有不同的想法，支持在动物园养动物；第四段总结动物园的好与不好取决于动物园自身；所以本文的结构是总-分-分-总的结构。故选B。 【26题详解】 观点态度题。根据最后一段“So, are zoos good or not? It depends on how good the zoo is. It’s sure that zoos have more advantages (优势) than their harmful effects. But it is understandable that many people don’t agree to enclose animals for any reason.”可知，作者既不支持也不反对在动物园饲养动物。故选D。 阅读短文，从所给的选项中选出可以填入文中空白处的最佳选项，其中有一个多余的选项。 Chinese people are among the most hospitable (热情好客的) people in the world.

Even if polluted air does not kill people, it can make them very sick. However, breathing dirty air does more than hurt people’s body. It can also affect their brain and their ability to think. A new study shows that air pollution can cause a “huge” reduction (降低) in our intelligence. The researchers reported that long-term exposure (暴露) to air pollution can affect a person’s mental (智力的) abilities in two areas: language and math. Xi Chen, the researcher of the Yale School of Public Health led the study. He and his team found that breathing polluted air can reduce a person’s education level by about one year. Chen said that the affect generally is worse for those over 64 years of age, for men and for those with little or no education. “The older persons—they are more affected. And we find, quite interestingly men are more affected than women. And people working outdoors are more affected than people working indoors.” The researchers found that the influence of pollution on language ability is even more serious as people age, especially among men and the less educated. Why are a person’s language skills more affected than math? There’s an important part in our brain: white matter. White matter is more connected with a person’s language skills. Studies have shown that air pollution has a great influence on the white matter in the brain. Chen said that air pollution did affect the math skills just not as much as their language skills. 51.

Air pollution mainly comes from cars and factories. To stop air pollution, we should take public transportation and walk or ride more instead of driving a car. Buying more electric cars is also a good way. 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了空气污染对人类造成的影响。 【51题详解】 根据“However, breathing dirty air does more than hurt people’s body. It can also affect their brain and their ability to think.”可知，脏的空气伤害人们的身体，影响他们的大脑和思考能力。故填It hurts people’s body and affects their brain and their ability to think. 【52题详解】 根据“The researchers reported that long-term exposure (暴露) to air pollution can affect a person’s mental (智力的) abilities in two areas: language and math.”可知，长期暴露在空气污染中会影响一个人在语言和数学方面的能力。故填Language and math. 【53题详解】 根据“And we find, quite interestingly men are more affected than women.”可知，男性比女性更容易受到影响。故填Men. 【54题详解】 主观表达题，言之有理即可。参考答案为：Air pollution mainly comes from cars and factories.

B Parents often find children watch cartoons for three to four hours a day. Studies show that children start watching cartoons on TV at an early age of six months, when they reach the age of two or three, they become cartoon fans and they would like to spend much time on it. Parents often see this as a problem because most of the children are found to become addicted (上瘾的) to watching cartoons.

They also help to improve their language. Educational cartoons help them to try different languages. Children can learn English well with the help of those cartoons.

My mom knew this and she gave me some crayons. They quickly became my treasure. Unfortunately, my little sister Emily also loved them. For three days, she would ask to play with my crayons. One day before she got up, I kept my crayons in my room. Then I went to school, thinking that she wouldn’t enter my room. When I got home, I couldn’t find my crayons. My rainbow-colored treasures were missing! I searched the house for Emily and found her in the basement (地下室). She was drawing something with my crayons. I shouted at her, grabbed (抢夺) the crayons and ran back up to my room, shutting the door with a loud noise. I sat there for at least half an hour. Later, I heard Emily’s footsteps coming up the stairs. I noticed a folded piece of paper being pushed under the door. Once it reached my side of the door, I picked it up. As I read the words on the cover, my anger disappeared. Tears began to well up in my eyes. On the paper were the words “Best Sister”. Inside was a picture Emily had drawn of herself, which was a birthday gift for me. My sister used my crayons to make something special for me. I realized that I had owned the greatest treasure in the world. I opened the door, reached out to Emily and gave her a big hug. 19. The writer’s mother gave her some crayons to __________. A. celebrate her birthday B. encourage her to be an artist C. use in her art class D. draw a picture for her sister 20. The writer __________ in order that her sister couldn’t get them.

But are zoos actually a good thing? ②Some people are against keeping animals in zoos. In their opinion, animals often suffer a lot for being enclosed. Even the best zoos can’t provide the environment that animals have in the wild. It’s a pity that the animals living in the wild are caught, and then kept away from their families. This leads many zoo animals to feel nervous or sad. What’s worse, some zoo animals may even die earlier than their wild relatives. ③However, some people have different ideas. They think zoos can connect people with animals, educate the public to protect animals and call on people to save animals as well as their homes. Some zoos offer a safe place to those animals which have been badly treated. Also, to support international breeding (繁殖) program, zoos have special programs to produce more young animals, especially for the species (物种) which are in danger of dying out. In the wild, some of the endangered species have trouble in finding partners and having new baby animals. A good zoo will provide a safe environment for these species. Moreover, zoos also do research into animal behavior and how to treat their illnesses. ④So, are zoos good or not? It depends on how good the zoo is. It’s sure that zoos have more advantages (优势) than their harmful effects. But it is understandable that many people don’t agree to enclose animals for any reason. 23. Why does the author ask a question in the first paragraph? A. To introduce the topic. B. To provide the example. C. To express the feeling D. To explain the reason. 24. What can zoos do to help the international breeding program? A. To treat and take care of ill animals. B. To study animals and understand their behavior. C. To protect homes for the endangered animals. D. To increase the number of animals of some species. 25. What’s the structure of this text? A. B. C. D. 26. What is the author’s attitude (态度) towards zoos? A. He supports keeping animals in zoos. B. He disagrees to enclose animals in zoos. C. He thinks it better to has more zoos. D. He is neither for nor against keeping animals in zoos. 阅读短文，从所给的选项中选出可以填入文中空白处的最佳选项，其中有一个多余的选项。 Chinese people are among the most hospitable (热情好客的) people in the world.
