Zootopia From a large elephant to a small mouse, animals live happily together in Disney’s Zootopia. Language: Chinese Running Time: 1 Hour and 30 Minutes Price: Weekdays---$40 $20 (children under 6) Weekends---$50 $25 (children under 6) I’ve never imagined the movie is so interesting. There are 64 kinds of animals in it. After I watched the movie I learned more about animals. I would highly recommend (推荐) this movie to those animal lovers. —— John I have seen many cartoons of this kind but this one is surprisingly funny and I love the sweet voice in it. My brother and I just couldn’t help laughing from the beginning to the end. —— David This movie is so well made. I went to see it with my 5-year-old son last Saturday afternoon. I love the beautiful music while my son loves the rabbit police officer—Judy very much. It shows that small animals like her can also do serious work. —— Nancy 36. Which language is spoken in the movie? A. Japanese. B. French. C. Chinese. D. English. 37. How long does the movie last? A. 60 minutes. B. 90 minutes. C. 100 minutes. D. 120 minutes. 38.

It cost Nancy and her son ________to watch the movie last Saturday. A. $60 B. $75 C. $80 D. $100 40. According to the poster, the movie most probably tells a________story. A. boring B. sad C. true D. funny B For years, I fought with the “bird’s nest” on top of my head. My mother thought my hair was naturally beautiful, but my classmates didn’t agree. They made fun of it, calling my hair “the mop (拖把)”. When I got to college, I decided to change my hairstyle. I had my curly (卷曲的) hair straightened (拉直). However, it cost me $700 once every six months to do this. People said I was crazy to spend that much on my hair. But I was willing to do anything to never again see that curly-haired girl in the mirror (镜子). But when I had to rent (租) my own apartment, the cost became too high. So I turned to the Internet, Google. In the end, I found a “curly haired” salon, a place designed for girls like me. When I arrived there, the stylist, Jacquai, was waiting for me. “Do you really think this will work?” I asked. “No curly hair is hopeless,” she replied. “You just haven’t found a way to work with it. That’s all.” After the hour was over, Jacquai had completed her work. She had fixed my hair using only her hands. I couldn’t believe it: My hair looked beautiful. Now my world has changed. I am more outgoing and confident (自信的) than before. People say that I am looking better than before, but that they don’t know what has changed. Hair is not just hair. I don’t need to tell them. My hair speaks for itself. 41. Which is TRUE about the writer’s hair? A. Her classmates thought it was naturally beautiful. B. She hated it and tried her best to make it straight in the beginning. C. She loved changing her hair into different kinds of styles. D. She enjoyed seeing herself in the mirror. 42. How often did the writer straighten her hair? A. Once a month. B. Once every six months.

A. was expensive and useless B. didn’t make her look good C. was helpful but too expensive D. caused others to make fun of her 44. After the writer had her hair done (理发) at the “curly haired” salon, ________. A. she began to accept her natural beauty B. she realized (意识到) that hair is just hair C. she wanted others to notice it D. she was sorry that she didn’t visit the salon earlier 45. What can we learn from the story? A. Everything good comes from being confident. B. People should be confident about their hair. C. Being cool can help us build confidence. D. Accept ourselves and live our life with confidence. C After Chinese government made a law on February 24 to stop the hunting of wild animals and people’s game meat consumption (野味消费), Shenzhen City, in southern China’s Guangdong Province, became one of the first places across the country to act. It released a draft (发布草案) the next day. People in Shenzhen were active in discussing it after the draft was released. Some people said the draft would make a lot of restaurants get into trouble. Wang Guohui, head of Rongji, a very popular restaurant in Shenzhen that sells snake meat, said the draft is bad news for the restaurants. He said that Shenzhen has thousands of snake meat restaurants with over 100,000 workers. It will be a serious problem if the draft is carried out (实施). In order to learn about people’s ideas, there was a survey (调查) online. According to Shenzhen Special Zone Daily, more than 10,000 people took part in the survey. It talked about some animals that were quite popular on Shenzhen people’s dining tables. People needed to answer two questions: Which animals do you think people should be prevented from eating? Which animals do you think people can eat? In total, Shenzhen government got more than 2,000 emails. Zhang Xiya is a volunteer of an animal protection organization. She was in favor of the draft, because she thought it could be a useful way to protect wild animals. Following Shenzhen, Guangzhou, the capital city of Guangdong also released a draft. Who will be the next? 46. Why did Shenzhen government make the draft? A. To let people learn more about wild animals B. To prevent people from eating wild animals C.

Being a child, I was unable to understand him. When I was older, my father started doing a part-time job at home. He used to bring some work back and work till late night. I can’t forget he played with me when I was3-4 years old. He taught me how to read when I was at the age of 5. He took care of me all night when I was sick. Whenever I felt down, he would cheer me up. He also cared about my lessons and often helped me get ready for examinations. Later he sent me to New Delhi for the best education. Whenever I needed money, he never refused. He always managed money for my studies. Two years ago, I got a job at a hospital in New Delhi. When I helped my first patient, I got a strong feeling of satisfaction. When I got my first salary (薪水) which was about ten times more than my pocket money, I spent it all on myself. When I returned home on a fine morning, I heard my father communicating with one neighbour. He was telling him my success in the job very proudly. He also told him that I had a higher salary than him at the end of his work. A dream, his son should become better than himself came true. I was unable to move on my feet. Past 23 years flashed into my mind in a moment. I knew my father loved me very much. I could understand the meaning of my father’s aspirations (愿望). I could understand the decisions my father made in the past. The financial (财务的) difficulty he was facing was decided by his goal—making his child more successful than himself. If today I am successful, this is because of my father. 51. From the first paragraph, we know the writer’s father is ________. A. humorous B. hard-working C. serious D. generous 52. When the writer was young, his father ________. A. managed money for his studies B. cheered him up all night C. hardly brought anything for him D. only cared about his examinations 53. The right order of the story is ________. a. My father sent me to get the best education. b. My father thought his dream came true. c. Being a child, I was unable to understand my father. d. I could understand the meaning of my father’s aspirations. e. I got a higher salary than my father. A. b-d-c-e-a B. d-a-c-e-b C. c-a-e-b-d D. c-a-d-b-e 54. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. The writer spent his first salary all on himself. B. The writer heard what his father said to one neighbor. C. The writer still couldn’t understand what his father decided in the past. D. The writer finally understood why his father had faced the financial difficulty. 55. The best title for the passage may be “________”. A. A Successful Child B. An Unforgettable Moment C. A Difficult Time D. A Father’s Love 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题；共55分） 五、任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）（每空一词） Hummingbirds (蜂鸟) are one of the smallest birds in the world. They are found only in America. They are called hummingbirds because they make a humming noise when they fly. They make this noise because they beat their wings so fast. Hummingbirds are well known for their ability to move their wings fast. They can move their wings up to 70 times in a second. Most of them are 7.5-13 cm long. The Bee Hummingbird is the smallest at just 5 cm. The largest is the Giant Hummingbird reaching over 20cm. Most hummingbirds weigh less than 4 grams. They eat mostly nectar (花蜜), and they also eat insects. They need to eat at least half their body weight of food each day. No other bird on Earth can fly like a hummingbird. They can move their wings in a circle (圆圈), so they can fly forwards, backwards, up, down, sideways and hover (盘旋) in mid air. This type of flying can be quite an exercise. That’s why hummingbirds eat a lot of food each day. Hummingbirds have no sense of smell but have very good eyesight. They can see and hear better than humans. They find their food through bright colours. They like red flowers. They are often seen flying near small flowers because they can’t reach deep in larger flowers.
