Molly is an Asian elephant. She was born in 2016. Everyone liked her and called her Little Princess. But three years later, she was separated from her mother and sent to live in another zoo. At her new home, Molly was trained to perform (表演) for tourists. To save Molly, Internet users joined the project “Save Molly” on some social media platforms (平台). Finally, zookeepers returned Molly to her original home, which had better living conditions. But many see this as only a small victory. An Internet user wrote, “This is just the first step; there is much more to be done.” Should animals perform? In the zoo, Molly learnt many things. But she was unhappy. These skills are not necessary for an elephant. She learnt these things to perform for tourists. Have you ever watched animal performances? The lights and noises during a performance make them nervous. Their cages are small and dirty. The animals often live shorter lives than in the wild. Now, some countries ban (禁止) wild animal performances. Do we really need zoos? 5. Why did many animal activists become very angry? A. The elephant called Molly was in danger. B. They saw some worrying pictures and videos of Molly. C Animals didn’t perform well if they didn’t get food. D. Molly had to live in another zoo. 6. How did Internet users join the project “Save Molly”? A. They returned Molly to her original home in Kunming. B. They provided the elephant with enough food and water. C. They raised some money for Molly by running a long way. D. They made use of some social media platforms. 7. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Animals often live shorter lives in the zoo than in the wild. B. Molly was happy to live in a better place and learn to perform. C. Molly had lived in another zoo for five years. D. Molly learnt different things to make herself happy. 8. Why did the writer end the passage with a question? A To ask for advice. B. To let people answer. C. To start another topic. D. To show his or her idea. C A study in 2018 found that 3.8 people per 100,000 died in traffic accidents in the UK. This death rate (率) was lower than that of any other country. So what did British drivers do to achieve this? British people feel that waiting should be fair for everybody. If you are in a queue (队伍) of traffic, then don’t try to push past the cars in front of yours. This is called “jumping the queue”. You must wait for your turn, or people may get angry with you. You must stop at the traffic lights when they are red. In many countries, it is OK to go past the red lights if you are turning a corner or if there isn’t any other traffic around. In the UK you could have a lot of trouble if you do this. If another driver flashes (闪烁) his car’s lights at you, he is probably trying to tell you that he will let you go first. British people don’t like to use their car horn (喇叭) much and they think people who do so are rude. If you get in an accident, don’t try to pay the police. The police in the UK never take money, and if you try to offer them some, you will be put into a British prison (监狱). No wonder British roads can be called some of the safest in the world. If each driver around the world can follow the traffic rules as strictly as British drivers do, fewer traffic accidents will take place. 9. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A. The low traffic accident death rate in the UK. B. The best driving skills among British drivers. C. The improvement in traffic rules in the UK. D. The high number of traffic accidents in the UK. 10. According to the text, traffic rules in the UK include ________. ① waiting patiently in the queue ② stopping at the red light. ③ using flashes instead of car horn ④ offering money to the police if necessary A. ①②③ B. ①③④ C. ②③④ D. ①②④ 11. What might be the main reason for the few traffic accidents in the UK? A. There aren’t many drivers in the UK. B. British drivers follow the traffic rules strictly. C. The number of traffic police is large on British roads. D. High technology is used in British transportation. 12. How is the text organized? (①=Paragraph 1... ) A. B. C. D. D There was once a 63-year-old woman. She was small and thin, with a slightly hunched (弓起的) back. She walked all the way from New York City to Miami, Florida. It was a long and unimaginable (不可想象的) journey for most people. Every step took great effort (努力), but she kept going and made it. The old woman started the journey because her life was filled with regrets (遗憾). When she was young, she was busy taking care of her family. She missed many beautiful moments in life. Her husband passed away early, and her children seldom visited her. During the lonely years, she thought about the places she wanted to visit when she was young but never did. Miami was one of those places. She and her husband had once promised to go to see the sea there together. When she turned 63, she realized that if she didn’t go now, there might never be another chance. In Miami, a curious reporter interviewed (采访) her. Although she looked tired, her eyes were bright. The reporter wondered whether the unknown fears, tiredness and difficult environment during the hard journey had ever worried her. And how did she get the courage (勇气) to keep going on such a long journey? The old woman smiled, with a twinkle in her eyes. “Taking one step doesn’t need courage. That’s what I did. I took one step first, then another, and then another, and here I am.” 13. The 63-year-old woman started her long journey to ________. A. break a world record B. make up for her regrets C. look for a new place to live D. visit her children in Miami 14. Why did she choose to go to Miami? A. She planned to talk to a reporter there. B. She once lived there at an early age. C. She wanted to celebrate her birthday there. D. She and her husband once wanted to go there. 15. According to Paragraph 3, what might the reporter think of the old woman? A. Busy and kind. B. Lonely and sad. C. Strong and brave. D. Worried and regretful. 16. What can we learn from the old woman? A. It is important to take action. B. No journey is easy for old people. C. It’s never too late to learn new things. D. Courage sometimes can have little use. 阅读短文，从文后所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有一个多余的选项。 Eye contact Eye contact means looking into another person’s eyes. This is a very important part of body language.

This is true in Europe, especially in Eastern Europe. In Russia, the population is going down by about 100 people every hour! One of the main reasons is a change of lifestyle. Most young people, especially educated (受过良好教育的) women, have a different idea about children from their parents. “I have one child and she is enough for me.” said Linda, a doctor from Russia. Many women decide to have children later in life or not to have children at all. “I don’t want to have any children until I have worked for at least 10 years.” said Sally from England. Her idea is typical (典型) in Europe. In Poland, the population is going down for a different reason. A lot of young people are leaving the country to work in foreign countries. Poland joined the European Union in 2004 and since then more than half a million people have moved to Britain, Germany, Spain and Italy. Even so, the population of those four countries and many other countries in West Europe is also going down. Many governments are now encouraging people to have larger families. In France, women can receive nearly $1,000 a month for a year if they have a third child. Austrian women receive $700 a month for three years when they have their first child. 41. Does the population in all areas of the world keep on increasing? _________________________________________________________ 42. What is Sally’s idea about having children? _________________________________________________________ 43. Why is the population of Poland going down? _________________________________________________________ 44. Do you want to have any younger brother or sister? Why or why not?
