Many people spend their vacations doing nothing on a beach, but Kirsty Ross wanted to do something different. "I spent three weeks working in the hot sun, digging to find pieces of old cups and plates," she says. "I worked really hard all day and I slept in a tent. My friends thought I was crazy, but I had an amazing time. It was my best vacation ever!"
Kirsty was working for a volunteer program in Tunisia in North Africa Groups of twenty-five young volunteers work together on archaeological sites to find important information about the past. The volunteers have to be very careful, because it's important not to damage the things they find. Many of them work at Tunisia's biggest archaeological site in Carthage, but some of them work in other important sites in the country.
Kirsty explains why she chose this vacation. "I've always been interested in history and Tunisia has a lot of very important archaeological sites. People were living in Carthage 3,000 years ago. I love being in places that are so old. It was exciting to find pots and other things that people used every day."
It was harder for Kirsty than for some of the others. "I come from Alaska which is a cold place." She says. "It was hard for me to work under the hot North African sun." But it was a wonderful chance to meet people from other countries and to learn about the past. It changed my life. Now I'm hoping to learn more about it in college."
The underlined word "damage" means _________ in the second paragraph
A. Hide B. break C. lose D. steal
24. All the following about Kirsty are true EXCEPT_________.
A. Kirsty thought the archaeology work was hard but interesting
B. Kirsty spent three weeks working for the volunteer program

D. Kirsty enjoyed working under the sun in Tunisia very much

C. the art of designing buildings D. animals and their living habits
26. What's the main purpose of the passage
A. To tell us the reason why Kirsty likes archaeology.
B. To let us know the importance of archaeology
C. To give an example of an archaeology vacation.
D. To ask more people to join their volunteering work.

How would you feel if someone decided to take away your park Well that's what's happening in my community. There's a park that some people want to turn into a golf course (高尔夫球场). Let me tell you why I think it's a bad idea.
First, a park is meant to be for the whole community. Not everyone likes golf, so not everyone will get to use the park. This isn't fair. A community park should have open spaces for everyone to use.
Second, to make way for the golf course, lots of playground equipment (设施) will have to be moved or knocked down, which is a waste of time and money. It's also a waste of perfectly good equipment. The swings, for example, will probably just end up as litter.
Third, what about giving young people something to do Not all kids are crazy about golf. At the moment, the park has a skating place and a playground. These attract lots of kids from the community. If you turn the park into a golf course, these kids won't have anywhere to go and they won't have anything to do. This means that they will stay at home and turn on a video game rather than get some exercise. It also means that they might be out on the street causing trouble. Wouldn't it be better to give them something to do at the park
Finally, golf is expensive. Building a golf course and maintaining (维护) it costs a lot of money. Who is going to pay to maintain the golf course What about those people who can't afford to join a golf club That means that the golf course will only be available to people with lots of money.
Turning our park into a golf course is a bad idea. I suggest we have a community meeting before plans go any further.
Some people want to change the park into _______.
A .a golf club B. a golf course C.a park D.a skating place
According to Paragraph 4, having nowhere to go will make some children _______.
A .go to get some exercise B .fall in love with golf
C .play video games at home D .go to the street and make friends
Which of the following shows the structure of the passage (P=Paragraph)
A. B.
C. D.
What is the writer's purpose in writing this passage
A. To help carry out further plans. B. To make the park more beautiful.
C. To encourage children to go skating. D. To stop the golf course from being built.

Cats can bring illness. Keeping a cat is good for you. You should keep your cat inside. Going outside is bad for cats, too. The birds are getting fewer and fewer in America. Cats kill many birds and small animals each year.
31._____________
Many kinds of birds live in the United States, but the number of the birds is becoming smaller every year. One of the leading reasons is the growing number of pet cats. By keeping your pet cats in your home, you can help give birds a better possible chance to live.
32._____________
Of the 90 million pet cats in this country, about two-thirds are allowed to go outside. It is said that these cats kill hundreds of millions of birds each year, as well as billions of small animals such as rabbits and field mice.
33.______________
They can also bring illness to the animals that live in people's yard (院子), and further weakening (变弱) the health of the natural populations.
34.______________
Allowing pet cats to go outside is not just bad for birds and wildlife (野生动物), it is bad for the cats themselves, too. Outdoor cats can get sick very easily. They may be in danger from traffic and attacks (攻击) from other animals. In fact, outdoor cats usually don't pass the age of five, while indoor cats often live to be 17 or older.
35.______________
Keep your pet cat inside! If you raise a young cat, it's your duty to let it play inside.
