Mom or Dad! Are you tired of hearing your kids complain about how animals in the same old petting zoos are monotonous

Learn what these reptiles eat and how they care for their babies, which ones live in the desert and which live in wetlands, which ones are meat-eaters and which are vegetarians, which ones are deadly poisonous and which are not.
So Remember:
If you’re bored with furry animals like rabbits. . .
Then the place for YOU is the Reptile Petting Zoo!

Sitting in the classroom I felt confused, for I couldn’t read the blackboard. Then Mum took me to the hospital. Within a few days, I was diagnosed (诊断) with a severe visual impairment (视力障碍). In fact, I was practically blind. Amazingly, I’d managed to reach the age of 13 without anyone realizing, not even me! “It all makes sense now,” Mum said. As a kid living on a farm, I was forever falling over things. I was known as the clumsy (笨拙) one to my parents and four sisters. But now, I was being told that I saw the world differently — I could only make out the outlines of things. I was given reading glasses but they didn’t help much.
Refusing to let my diagnosis hold me back, I continued doing everything I loved. As long as everything was in its place, I could feel my way around.
Later I got married to Lance and had amazing kids. I could change nappies (尿布) and dress the kids fine — it just took a little longer as I relied on touch to work out where things were. Cooking, on the other hand, was not my forte. I was terrible — always mixing up sugar and salt!
Nowadays, my grandkids have all been brought up not to leave toys on the floor or move chairs away from the table. “We don’t want Grandma tripping,” Lance will say.
Over the year, I’ve enjoyed lovely family holidays, but sometimes felt like Lance or the kids were too protective of me. So I was thrilled when I booked myself on a trip to the Gold Coast with people who were just like me in a travel company. I’m not missing out — my life is beautiful. I’m so lucky to have a wonderful family and lots of experiences.
Life is precious — you don’t need to “see” that.
28．What can we know from the first paragraph
A．The reading glasses got the problem fixed.
B．She always tripped because she was awkward.
C．She got severe visual impairment at the age of 13.
D．Nobody realized her sight was poor until she was 13.
29．What does the underlined word “forte” in Paragraph 3 mean
A．Weakness. B．Favourite. C．Strength. D．Business.
30．What can we know about the author
A．She is able to see things clearly now. B．She led a lonely and hopeless life.
C．She could help care for the kids. D．She went to the Gold Coast all by herself.
31．What can we learn from the author’s story
A．We need to go to travel frequently on our own.
B．We should always turn to the family for help.
C．Everyone should pay special attention to the blind people.
D．Everyone can enjoy the beauty of life with a positive mind.
D
A mother, Carrie Cort, 51, from Sussex, and her nine-year-old son have been named the UK’s most environmentally friendly family after winning an award for their environmental achievements.
Now every aspect of her life is environmentally friendly, from her son Adam’s birthday parties to her clothing, and she recycles everything from empty pens to milk bottle tops. “Changing our family lifestyle to green has saved us around ￡11,000 every year, which has given us more financial stability,” Carrie says. “Living green has made us healthier and I feel younger now. It is fun seeing what you can make with unwanted or broken things. Growing your own food is great exercise, good for wildlife, and the food is much more nutritious and tastier.”
“My concern for the way we humans are treating the planet was really roused when Adam was born. When he arrived, I suddenly had this huge, greater awareness of the kind of planet we’re bringing our children into though I learnt something about it in university.” She began going to talks, reading books, watching documentaries and attending green meetings in order to educate herself in the details of green living.
Carrie set up the local campaign group Sussex Green Living six years after her son’s birth. Later, she gave up her high-powered job, as she ran a video company with her brother, to do her job full-time. Today, she organizes talks and workshops. She runs a repair cafe, where people can bring everything to be fixed. Her recycling program helps people reuse wastes. Toothpaste tubes, for example, which Carrie sends to the Philippines, are turned into purses by an organization. “My goal is to inspire more people to lead greener, more environmentally friendly lives, to enable us to live in greater harmony with nature, now and for future organizations. I achieve this using various Sussex Green Living communication programs and working with other organizations who have the same goals and values.”
32．How did Carrie feel about her environmentally friendly lifestyle
A．Unwanted. B．Unhealthy.
C．Expensive. D．Economical.
33．Which of the following is true about Carrie
A．She made good preparations for living green.
B．She recycled what people ignored for fun.
C．She does daily exercise by growing food.
D．She majored in planet protection in university.
34．What does Carrie rely on to make her achievements
A．Her repair cafe and workshops. B．Her own programs and others’ work.
C．Her well-paid job and her brother’s support. D．Her independence of realizing her green dream.
35．When did Carrie begin to form her environmentally friendly lifestyle
A．After winning an award. B．After giving birth to her son.
C．After being stuck in poverty. D．After attending green meetings

The huge high rises, loud noises, and masses of people make up a symbolic United States destination and the city millions of people call home. Winding your way through the streets of New York City is an overwhelming and humbling (令人谦卑的) experience. 36 With so much to offer, there is never a boring moment in this energetic city but an appreciation for this urban (城市的) culture.
Walking down these busy streets you are sure to see several different coffee shops where writers with dreams are typing away or perhaps old friends catch up as they drink. Next, there are the classic pizzerias where many love to go to get a slice of New York style pizza. Another city classic are the popular delis, a favorite quick and easy lunch hot spot. 37
A valued aspect (方面) of the city streets is the artistic attraction they hold. Brushes of color brighten up the modern buildings. The buildings become an artist’s studio where creativity comes to life, beautifying the city and showing social and political expressions. 38 Whether an artist is trying to get discovered, make a living, or simply just sharing their feelings, the air is filled with joy to lift the spirits of the people.
39 On any given street you can take a taxi with the wave of an arm. You can sit on a subway, feeling the shakes of the starts and stops and hearing the loud sound of the tracks. Yet the most common form of transportation is your own two feet, allowing you to get where you want to go, fast or slow.
There is nothing more American than a street in New York City. 40 They are enjoyed by all those who are there to experience it.
A．The beautiful variety brings life into the city.
B．The energy they give off will be sure to inspire you.
C．These streets are known for their variety of great food.
D．An additional form of art that fills these streets is music.
E．The many aspects of the urban culture are there on the street.
F．A huge benefit of the city life is the diverse transportation choices.
G．You become one tiny fish in the deep depths of the ocean once entering.

The public library is one of the greatest inventions humankind has ever imagined and actually made happen. Libraries are a (an) 41 , quiet place where all people can hang out and read, without having to 42 anyone anything. Apart from being a place that is full of 43 to borrow, libraries are something that offers 44 and warmth. A post on Twitter celebrating the wonderfulness of libraries 45 this point perfectly.
“Today a woman with developmental disabilities came into the library, and she was 46 ,” wrote a Twitter user. “She didn’t 47 her address, but her phone number was in her pocket on a piece of paper with Elmo on it. She kept saying, ‘The library is a safe place.’We called and her guardians (监护人) came right over. It seemed that they were not worried at all. Apparently this happens pretty 48 . They even stayed long enough for her to 49 some new books and Sesame Street DVDs. The library is a safe place indeed.”
The post 50 others to share their own stories of libraries being safe places for them, and it’s enough to 51 even the hardest of hearts. For people who grew up in dysfunctional (功能失调的) homes, the library can be a safe heaven of calm and kindness. For people lacking financial means, the library is a space that provides free education and free entertainment, as well as a free indoor place to go. This is the reason why 52 people grouped to libraries when they have nowhere else on earth---the only place that doesn’t 53 money. We cannot understate Literal lifesavers. Libraries also fill up a lot of gaps in other social 54 and help people find their way to information about other opportunities. They open the doors to so many 55 .

Trust
“Settle down!” Mr. Taylor was trying to calm the boys with a loud voice. The moment they entered the gym and saw the climbing walls towering over them, the boys got excited and started making noises. But Stevie was an exception, who was standing aside looking at his thin arms silently. Stevie didn’t like climbing. It wasn’t his thing. Getting along with people wasn’t his thing, either. He just felt nobody liked or trusted him at school.
Then came the coach, who taught the boys some basic skills. He said everyone should have a climbing partner and showed them how to belay (保护) their partner. “If you are a climber, trust your belayer and challenge yourself. Belayers, please remember that your partner’s life depends on you.”
The moment he finished, the boys couldn’t wait to match themselves with a partner except Stevie, who was left alone wandering around the gym. Noticing his embarrassment, Mr. Taylor raised his voice and said, “I need someone I can really trust to team up with!” He looked around. Then his gaze fell upon Stevie. “How about you, Stevie Would you like to be my belayer ” “Me ” Stevie widened his eyes, surprised to hear Mr. Taylor even say his name. He had thought he was invisible. “I guess,” Stevie managed a weak smile.
Nervous as he was, he plucked up courage. “It doesn’t matter who gets to the top first. It’s about giving it a go.” Hearing Mr. Taylor’s words, Stevie gritted (咬紧牙关) his teeth and moved up slowly, his face pressed against the rough surface. “Done it!” Stevie finally called from the top with excitement. Then Mr. Taylor started to let him down through a perfect control of the rope.“Well done,” said Mr. Taylor when Stevie landed on the floor.
Now it’s Stevie’s turn to control the rope. Bearing in mind his responsibility, Stevie carefully watched as Mr. Taylor climbed up, pulling in the rope hand over hand. He felt his heart racing wildly. Finally, Mr. Taylor arrived at the top. “Ready to let me down now ” said Mr. Taylor. “Okay,” Stevie took a deep breath, his palms sweating uncontrollably.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
As Stevie loosened the grip, the rope slipped through his hand much faster than expected.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Suddenly, the boys burst into wild applause and yelled encouragement at them.

66．One possible version：
I'm glad to share one of my most unforgettable travel experiences. It was during the national holiday last year that I visited Gulangyu Island in Xiamen. I arrived there in the morning together with my parents. It's a beautiful island, whose scenery is breathtaking. We stood on the second floor of the boat, enjoying the sights of the sea. Then we took lots of photos and tasted special snacks off board. At dusk, we enjoyed ourselves so much as to forget to leave.
Through the trip, I've broadened my horizons and enriched my life experience. I feel so lucky to visit this beautiful island.
67．As Stevie loosened the grip, the rope slipped through his hand much faster than expected. Suddenly, Mr. Taylor dropped like a stone. Stevie let out a little scream. The picture of Mr. Taylor hitting the ground flashed over his mind. He quickly gripped the rope, bringing Mr. Taylor to a sudden stop. Regretful and cautious, Stevie looked up and saw Mr. Taylor wearing a smile and encouraging him with an inspiring gesture, which made him less nervous. Then he restarted loosening the grip slowly. Finally, Mr. Taylor dropped smoothly down to the bottom and signaled to Stevie with a thumb up. “You made it!”
Suddenly, the boys burst into wild applause and yelled encouragement at them. When Mr. Taylor stepped forward and gave Stevie a big hug, a ripple of excitement and pride ran through him. From that day on, Stevie opened his heart to the people around him. He made new friends at school. He even fell in love with climbing where he was regarded as a trustworthy teammate. Grateful to Mr. Taylor, he knew deep down in his heart that it was his teacher’s trust that allowed him to embrace his new self and others.
