Ⅴ.阅读理解
　　A group of 15 Asian elephants was making its way north across China for over a year. After traveling nearly 500 kilometers northward, they reached the area near Yunnan’s capital, Kunming. And nobody was quite sure why.
It’s unusual for these animals to take such a journey. Ever since they left their home in the Xishuangbanna National Nature Reserve(保护区) in the spring of 2021, the elephants have gone into villages and cities. As members of animals under top-level protection in China, the elephants were welcomed with green lights at each leg of their journey. They walked into villages, broke into houses and turned taps on to drink. They even visited a car store and showed up at an old people’s home, where they reached out their long noses into some of the rooms, causing an old man to hide under his bed.
The Yunnan Forest Fire Brigade(总队) said a team of eight people were following the group 24 hours a day. They were using drones(无人机) as well to watch them from above in the air.The 15 elephants have now become international superstars, with fans around the world watching their journey in social media.
“Asian elephants need to live in warm areas. The further north they travel, the less comfortable the weather will be for them. So we need to guide them toward their home,” a professor said.
21.Paragraph 1 tells the facts about the Asian elephants EXCEPT 　　　　.
A.why they left their homes
B.where they moved towards
C.how long they walked
D.how many members they had
22.Where did the elephants live before they moved away
A.In the north of Asia.
B.In Xishuangbanna, Yunnan.
C.In the north of China.
D.In Yunnan’s capital, Kunming.
23.What can we infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2
A.The elephants liked the journey very much.
B.The green lights stopped the elephants’ journey.
C.The journey was successful for the elephants.
D.There were lights on the legs of the elephants.
24.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about
A.The city people were ready to welcome the elephants.
B.No ways were fit to stop the elephants from moving.
C.The government didn’t allow people to hurt the elephants.
D.Many people were paying attention to these elephants.
25.What’s the best title for this passage
A.The journey of 15 elephants
B.The reason to have a journey
C.The way to protect the elephants
D.15 Asian elephants are in danger
答案 21-25
Ⅵ.词语运用
　　阅读下面短文,在空白处填入一个适当的单词(有提示词的,填入所给单词的正确形式)。
　　A few years ago, I was eating dinner with my children before we went to a museum. We were talking 26.　　　　(happy) when a man walked up to me and asked if I had a few 27.　　　　(dollar) to give him. I 28.　　　　(reply) that I didn’t even have one coin on me.

So I 33.　　　　(tell) the man I could use my bank card to buy him something to eat. His disappointed expression 34.　　　　(quick) changed into a smile. Then I went to get him some kinds of food. He thanked me when I handed him a bag of food. After he left, I had a talk with my children, “Usually, I don’t always like giving money to everyone who asks for it.
