Over the past three decades, an 81-year-old Chinese man has been operating a small zoo. The zoo in Enshi, Hubei Province, is called the "world’s loneliest zoo" because few people visit it. Most of the animals there are unhealthy.
Luo Yingjiu began keeping animals at home in the 1980s. After seeing wild animals kept in cages for sale at a market, Luo bought them and took them home to give them medical treatment. He released (释放) those able to live on their own into the wild and continued to raise those that could not live independently. There were so many animals in his house that the local government suggested he open a zoo. With the government’s financial aid, the zoo was opened in 1989, the only one in the city at that time. During its peak time, the zoo had some big animals, including a tiger and a lion. The business later became worse because visitors were not interested in the zoo’s “old, weak, sick and disabled” animals.
Using his pension(退休金)to operate the zoo, Mr. Luo refused to listen to other people’s advice to close it. “It is not just a zoo; it provides the habitat for the animals,” he explained. “If the zoo is closed, where can these animals go They cannot even survive in the wild.”
As he operates the zoo, he keeps on rescuing animals. A black bear with one paw injured was saved 17 years ago. A dog named Dianzi was saved when its former owner planned to abandon (遗弃) it. A monkey that has been at the zoo for nearly 30 years is almost blind because of camera flashes from visitors who took photos. For those animals that died, Luo buried them on the nearby mountain.
Luo said he remembers every animal’s name. “Animals and humans are born equal,” he said. “We should respect their right to survive.”
24. Why is the zoo called the “world’s loneliest zoo”
A. There are few animals in the zoo.
B. Few people know the old man.
C. There aren’t many people visiting the zoo.
D. The gatekeeper lost family members.
25. How did Luo get the animals originally
A. By buying some animals locked in cages.
B. By stealing or hunting some big animals.
C. By finding animals released from other zoos.
D. By picking up dying animals in the wild.
26. What was the reason why Luo’s business went worse
A. Visitors took no interest in the unhealthy animals.
B. Local government refused to offer financial support.
C. He used up all of his pension so that the zoo was closed.
D. Children were frightened by the wild tiger and lion.
27. Which of the following best describes Luo Yingjiu
A. Adventurous and humorous. B. Warm-hearted and determined.
C. Creative and outgoing. D. Generous and funny.
C
The Hadza hunter-gatherers of Tanzania live a life that has not changed much over ten thousand years. They have no crops, no house animals, no permanent shelters. In spite of long exposure to agriculturalist groups around them, the Hadza have maintained their lifestyle.
The story of the spread of agriculture is the story of growing population density(密度). Villages formed, then cities, then nations. Agriculture’s rise, however, came with a price. It introduced infectious diseases, social inequality, occasional famines (饥荒) and war. Professor Jared Diamond of UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles) has called the adoption of agriculture “the worst mistake in human history”—a mistake from which we have never recovered.
Looking at the Hadza, you can see why he came to this conclusion. They do not engage in warfare. They do not live densely (稠密地) enough to be threatened by an infectious outbreak. They have no known history of famine (饥荒). The Hadza diet is more stable (稳定的) and varied than that of most of the world’s citizens. They live almost entirely free of possessions. They enjoy an extraordinary amount of leisure time, “working” — actively pursuing food—only four to six hours a day.
The chief reason the Hadza have been able to maintain their lifestyle so long is that their homeland is not an inviting place. Recently, however, population growth has brought a flood of people into Hadza lands. The region has generally been viewed by outsiders as unused, a place in need of development. The Hadza, who by nature are not a combative (好战的) people, have almost always moved away instead of fighting.
There are many things to envy about the Hadza, mostly what free spirits they appear to be. Free from schedules, jobs, bosses, bills, traffic, taxes, laws, social duties and money. But who of us could live like them It’s incredibly risky. Medical help is far away. One bad fall from a tree, one bite from a snake, and you’re dead. The fact is that it’s too late for us to go back to the Hadza lifestyle. Of greater concern is that soon it may be impossible for them to maintain theirs.
28. What does the underlined word “It” in paragraph 2 refer to
A. Agriculture’s rise. B. The growth of population.
C. The formation of village. D. The appearance of a city.
29. What’s the characteristic of the Hadza
A. They are always busy in all seasons.
B. They like fighting with the other nations.
C. They are often in hunger because of fight.
D. They are always leading a free life without fight.
30. What can be learned from the last paragraph
A. It’s convenient for the people of Hadza to get medical care.
B. It’s worth visiting the beautiful scenery of the Hadza.
C. Visitors can be welcomed warmly by the people of the Hadza.
D. The author is worried about the current situation of the Hadza.
31. Which is the best title for the text
A. Agriculture of the Hadza B. The Unique Hadza Lifestyle
C. The Attractive Diet of the Hadza D. The Medical Care of the Hadza
D
Nada Nafisa, Aya Al Zayed and Fatimah Ghazi, all 16, are grade 10 pupils at GEMS Al Khaleej International School. They have created the Eco-current energy production unit that harvests “leftover” electrons to harness (利用)electricity from plants.
Nafisa and her friends came up with the idea of Eco-current for a school competition. They decided to work on clean energy in a creative way. And then they showed Eco-current at Expo 2020 Dubai
The pupils found research from the Netherlands about producing energy from plants using a run of electrons. This approach towards green energy does not harm the plant. For now, the pupils know that the technology can be used to power phones or smaller devices, using electricity produced from moss(苔藓) . With bigger units and more research on the most suitable types of plants, the pupils are sanguine larger machines can be powered—such as washing machines, coffee machines, and even a house.
Fellow (同事的) team member Al Zayed said, “Our school conducts a Steam(science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics) Exhibition Day every year, where we have to show our proposed solution to different problems. We chose the clean energy category and started researching new technologies that can be used for producing green energy. We found that we can produce energy from plants. A group of scientists that started this idea in the Netherlands inspired us and we thought of improving it.”
Another team member Fatimah Ghazi said, “We definitely hope that we will be able to finish our work and build the final prototype (原型) that will work well and produce enough energy to power a house at an affordable cost.”
Ruba Tarabay, Middle School science lead at GEMS Al Khaleej International School, said, “I was so excited to see that they were able to show their project at Expo and the judges were really impressed with this idea of producing clean energy for our future.”
32. What do the first three paragraphs mainly tell us
A. Different methods of producing electricity in modern society.
B. The performance of Nada Nafisa and her fellows at Expo 2020 Dubai.
C. The advantages of using “leftover” electronic to produce electricity.
D. How Nada Nafisa and her fellows developed the new energy.
33. Which word can replace the underlined word “sanguine” in paragraph 3
A. Doubtful. B. Curious. C. Confident. D. Critical.
34. Where did Nada Nafisa and her fellows produce energy from
A. Solar power. B. Sea. C. Wind. D. Plants.
35. What can we infer from the passage
A. Nada Nafisa and her fellows are ambitious and creative.
B. It is impossible for plants to provide clean energy.
C. Local government is opposed to the pupils’ plan.
D. The pupils have produced enough energy to power an affordable house.

Just Like Home
When the recess (课间休息) bell rang, Priya sighed and slowly stood up. At her old school, she spent recess climbing the monkey bars and sharing secrets with her friends. Now she sat in the corner of the field and watched the other kids play without her.
As she cleared her table, Priya noticed a box of sidewalk chalk sitting on the counter by the window. Then she took her usual place at the end of the recess line.
While she and her classmates filed through the halls and out into the yard, Priya thought about how she and her mother used to draw chalk patterns on the long driveway leading up to their old apartment building. The patterns were called rangoli, and they looked like stars and roses. Priya’s mother said that the drawings were to welcome guests to their home. Priya missed the early mornings she and her mother would spend drawing colourful patterns.
Priya walked over to the basketball court and sat on the hot pavement(路面). She pulled the box out of her pocket and took out a bright red piece of chalk and began drawing the rangoli patterns she loved best. She drew flowers with huge petals (花瓣) and stars with eight points
“That’s pretty,” a voice said. She turned around and saw that Enrique, a boy in her class, was watching her. “It’s called rangoli,” she said. “They do this in India, where my parents are from.” “You know what that reminds me of ” he asked, kneeling down beside her. “The floor of my grandmother’s house in Mexico has tiles (瓷砖) that have designs like that.”
“What do you mean ” Priya asked. “Hand me a piece of chalk,” Enrique said. “I’ll show you.” Enrique sat down on the pavement and began to draw. He used green, orange, and yellow chalk to draw flowers that were more detailed than Priya’s, but still had huge, curvy (弯曲的) petals. Then he drew circles inside circles, and surrounded them with small diamonds. Priya kept drawing too.
