For many of us, the 1 place where we can get to wild animals is a zoo. These places let us see amazing animals—from big cats to tiny lizards—and what they are like. It’s an enjoyable and educational 2 for us, but is it the best environment for these animals?
Long ago, people could only 3 wild animals as stuffed dead exhibits in a museum. Later on, live animals were caught by explorers, brought home and put on show to the public in wildlife parks. Animal happiness was not a priority (优先权) 4 zoos, however, have transformed (使改观) the living environments for animals, making bigger enclosures (围场), removing bars, and—to some extent— 5 their natural habitats.
Some people have 6 the cruelty of keeping animals captive (圈养的) for entertainment, but zoos are keen to show that they help wildlife by educating us about conservation. In the UK, the introduction of the Zoo Licensing Act of 1981 also required zoos to 7 the public. Well—managed zoos are now also involved in 8 and funding (为……提供资金) conservation programs.
Probably the biggest voice from zoos today is that they help protect species in the wild that are under 9 due to climate change. Robert Young, Chair in Wildlife Conservation at Salford University said: “There are quite a lot of different species around the planet which we wouldn’t have today without 10 .” Some zoos have captive breeding (繁殖) programs which help to preserve the 11 of species that would otherwise die out. Actor Leonardo DiCaprio recently highly praised Chester Zoo in the UK for its 12 work. It brought “a rare fish species back from the dead” after breeding and sending a school of golden skiffia fish back into their 13 river.
Although the debate about having zoos 14 . new opportunities to meet wildlife are being explored, like virtual reality. Jon Coe, a zoo designer, told the BBC: “Taking a walk through a herd of elephants in the Serengeti, I think, is going to be 15 pretty soon.” That day is sure to come.
1.A.smallest B.closest C.biggest D.farthest

三、阅读理解
阅读下列短文,从所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。
Sleep Smart, Feel Great!
Did you know your bedtime affects your health? Here’s what science and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) say: Go to bed early! TCM suggests preparing for sleep around 10:30 p.m. to enter deep sleep by 11 p.m. This matches your body’s natural energy rhythm for better rest. Sleep during the “golden hours” (10 p.m.–2 a.m.) when your body makes the most melatonin (褪黑素) (a sleep hormone 激素). This helps fix cells and keeps your metabolism healthy. Late sleepers risk obesity (肥胖) ! A global study found:
Sleeping after 10 p.m. → 20% higher chance of obesity
Sleeping after 2 a.m. → 38% higher belly fat risk
Not sleeping enough → 27% higher obesity risk (naps 午睡) don’t fix this! If you want to sleep smart, try these five easy sleep tips:
① Take a warm bath 1 hour before bed. Cooling down after helps you fall asleep!
② Can’t sleep? Tense and relax muscles for 15 minutes to calm your body.
③ Avoid late-night snacks. Some foods make you feel more tired!
④ Darkness helps your body make melatonin. Turn off bright lights!
⑤ For serious sleep problems, try a “sleep schedule plan” with a doctor.
1.When does the body produce the MOST melatonin according to the text?
A.8 p.m.–10 p.m. B.10 p.m.–2 a.m.

2.What should you do 1 hour before bedtime to improve sleep?
A.Drink coffee. B.Take a warm bath. C.Exercise intensely(高强度地). D.Play video games.
3.How much higher is the obesity risk for people who regularly sleep after 2 a.m.?
A.20%. B.27%. C.38%. D.50%.
4.What can we learn from the text?
A.TCM suggests enter deep sleep at around 10:30 p.m.
B.If you don’t get enough sleep, naps can fix.
C.Relaxing muscles for 15 minutes can calm your body.
D.Darkness helps your body make melatonin.

What Makes Sound Special?
Sound is everywhere in our daily life. When you play a guitar, press a keyboard, or listen to birds singing, you are experiencing different sounds. But what exactly makes these sounds different? The answer lies in three key properties: pitch (音准), loudness, and timbre (音色).
Pitch: How High or Low?
1 Scientists call this “pitch”. It is determined by the frequency of the sound wave. Frequency refers to how many times a wave vibrates per second. A higher frequency means more vibrations, which creates a higher-pitched sound. 2 That’s why women’s voices usually sound higher than men’s.
Loudness: How Strong or Weak?
Loudness depends on the amplitude of the sound wave. 3 If you hit a drum softly, the skin moves slightly, and the sound is quiet. If you hit it hard, the skin moves violently, creating a louder sound. However, loudness is not just about physics; it also relates to distance. 4
Timbre: The Unique Flavor
Finally, timbre (音色) allows us to tell the difference between a piano and a violin even if they play the same note at the same volume. 5 Just as different ingredients create different flavors in food, different waveforms create different "colors" in sound.
A. This is because women’s vocal cords vibrate faster.
B. The farther you are from the source, the quieter it sounds.
C. Have you ever noticed that some sounds are high like a whistle, while others are low like a foghorn?
D. Amplitude is the height of the sound wave.
E. Light travels much faster than sound.
F. Every instrument has its own unique waveform.
1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

The Longest Day of the Year
When the calendar turned to June 21st, we met the Summer Solstice, the official beginning of summer. On this day, the daytime becomes the longest of the whole year. When I stood outside at noon, I felt the hot sun on my skin, because the sun was right above the Tropic of Cancer.
To celebrate this day, my grandma cooked a traditional big meal. We ate cold noodles with vinegar and garlic first, then sweet lychees. Old customs say these foods help our bodies cool down in hot summer. Later, my whole family rode bikes to the West Lake. We sat by the lake and watched the beautiful sunset. The sky turned orange and pink, and its color showed clearly on the quiet lake. I was sweating a lot, but the beautiful sight made the trip great.
根据短文内容,回答下列问题,每题答案不超过6个词。
1. When did they welcome the Solstice?
2. What happens to daylight on that day?
3. Who prepared the traditional feast?
4. Why do people eat those foods?
5. Where did the family cycle to?
