B(2022·广东广州第七中学期中)
In America, when people say "man's best friend", they don't talk about another person. Instead, they are talking about a lovely animal — the dog! These words show the friendship between people and animals. Dogs and other pets can give joy to people's lives. Some people think that their pets are their children. Some people even leave all their money to their pets when they die!
Animals can help people too. Dogs can be the "eyes" for a blind (失明的) person or "ears" for a deaf (失聪的) person. Scientists find that pets help people live longer. They make people happier too. Because of that, they bring animals into hospitals for "visits".
　　There is always a "Be Kind to Animals Week" in May in America. Pet shows take place during the week. Even if (即使) you don't live in America, you can do this. How First think about how animals make your life colourful. If you have a pet, spend more time this week playing with it. Remember to give it nice food. If you don't have a pet, be kind to animals around you. If others around you do bad things to animals, try to speak up. As people, we must protect animals around us.
(　　)24."Some people even leave all their money to their pets when they die!" shows that 　　　　.
A. money can make pets happy
B. it's the best way to spend money
C. pets can use their masters' money
D. some pets are as important as their children
(　　)25.During the"Be Kind to Animals Week", the people in America　　　　.
A. have pet shows
B. play with the pets the whole week
C. cook delicious food for pets
D. make friends with other people's pets
(　　)26.What is the best title for the passage
A. People are interested in dogs
B. Dogs can help people do many things
C. Care about pets and protect them
D. We do a lot of things for pets
C(2022·广东广州天河区期末)
　　①Zoos are very popular with adults and children. But are zoos actually a good thing
　　②Some people criticize keeping animals in zoos. In their opinion, animals often suffer a lot for being enclosed(围住). Even the best zoos can't provide the environment that animals have in the wild. It's a pity that the animals living in the wild are caught, and then kept away from their families. This leads many zoo animals to feel nervous or sad. What's worse, some zoo animals may even die earlier than their wild relatives.
　　③However, some people have different ideas. They think zoos can connect people with animals, educate the public to protect animals and call on people to save animals as well as their homes. Some zoos offer a safe place to those animals which have been badly treated. Also, to support international breeding(饲养) program, zoos have special programs to produce more young animals, especially for the species (物种) which are in danger of dying out. In the wild, some of the endangered species have trouble in finding partners and having new baby animals. A good zoo will provide a safe environment for these species. Moreover, zoos also do research into animal behavior and how to treat their illnesses.
　　④So, are zoos good or not It depends on how good the zoo is. It's sure that zoos have more advantages than their harmful effects. But it is understandable that many people don't agree to enclose animals for any reason.
(　　)27.The underlined word"criticize" means "　　　　".
A. thinking it's right B. thinking it's dangerous
C. thinking it's wrong D. thinking it's difficult
(　　)28.What can zoos do to help the international breeding program
A. To treat and take care of ill animals.
B. To study animals and understand their behavior.
C. To protect homes for the endangered animals.
D. To increase the number of animals of some species.
(　　)29.What's the structure of this passage
A.　　　　B.　　　　　　C.　　　　　D.
(　　)30. 新风向 观点态度题 Generally, what is the writer's attitude(态度)towards zoos
A. He supports keeping animals in zoos.
B. He disagrees to enclose animals in zoos.
C. He thinks it better to have more zoos.
D. He is neither for nor against keeping animals in zoos.
D(2021·湖北武汉武昌区期末)
　　People once thought animals did not think. They thought animals just acted. If they were hungry, they ate. If they were thirsty, they drank. If they were cold, they sat in the sun. If they were hot, they looked for shade. If another animal scared them, they ran.
Now we know differently. Irene Pepperberg began studying intelligence(智力) of the bird. She bought a parrot, named Alex, in the pet show. Then she taught Alex to talk. Alex liked to talk! He learned almost one hundred English words. He learned to count up to six. He even knew what the numbers meant. He worked hard to say words correctly. Alex learned shapes and colors, and could tell them apart. Dr Pepperberg bought other birds. She and her workers taught them, too. During the training, Alex did an amazing thing. He corrected these birds when they didn't say the words clearly enough!
Monkeys also talk to one another. They use sounds to tell other monkeys who they are and warn one another about danger. Scientists studied their alarm calls(告警声). They found that the pyow call means "leopard(豹)". The hack call followed by the pyow call means an eagle(鹰)is nearby. People watched the monkeys. When male monkeys made the sounds, the female monkeys listened. If they were in a safe place, they stayed put. If they were in a dangerous place, they moved.
Dogs can understand a human's commands. One dog, Rico, knows the names of 200 dogs. Another dog, Besty, understands more than 340 words. Once she was shown pictures of a frisbee, then she ran to the toy box and fetched it. Besty also knows 15 people by name.
Scientists know that elephants can remember things for a long time. Like humans, apes and dolphins, they can recognize themselves in mirrors! That is an advanced skill.
So, how smart are animals The answer is "smarter than you think".
(　　)31.The author mentions the information about Alex, the parrot, in this passage to 　　　　.
A. show how smart a bird can be
B. explain how parrots learn language
C. ask people to get a parrot
D. show that all birds are alike
(　　)32.Alex corrects other birds. What does this tell us about Alex
A. Alex can tell shapes and colors apart.
B. Alex has a huge vocabulary of words.
C. Alex can communicate with many kinds of animals.
D. Alex is unhappy when other birds learn what he knows.
(　　)33.Why would monkeys make alarm calls for "leopard" and "eagle"
A. Both leopards and eagles live in the jungle.
B. Monkeys are near these animals.
C. Leopards and eagles eat monkeys.
D. Monkeys eat leopards and eagles.
(　　)34.How are dogs and parrots alike
A. They both speak with words.
B. They both use tools to reach food.
C. They can both solve math problems.
D. They can both understand a human's language.
(　　)35.What is this passage mainly about
A. All animals are clever and can learn to communicate.
B. Humans are beginning to understand how smart animals are.
C. Little is known about how smart dolphins and apes are.
D. Parrots are very intelligent birds, and so are monkeys.
四、(2021·山东青岛黄岛区期末改编)任务型阅读(共5小题,计10分)
　　阅读下面短文,按要求完成36~40题。
A herd(群) of wild Asian elephants are coming near Kunming, Yunnan Province, after travelling on a 500-km journey. No one knows why the elephants travel all the way from their home. The government has reminded the people of Kunming to be careful.
There were 17 elephants in the herd at first, which left their home last year to travel in nearby places. One adult elephant dropped out and two were born in the journey. In April the 17-member herd turned north to visit Yuxi. Another two adults left for home while the rest continued to travel north.
On Saturday, the endangered animals were seen in Hongta, where the government set up a center to observe(观察) their movements 24 hours a day and stopped them from coming into cities. A lot of elephant food has been prepared. None of elephants has been hurt so far. It was the first time that China had recorded such a long-way northward travelling of wild elephants. It was very unusual for them to travel such a long way to the north. We can't tell where they are going. It is possible that the head of the herd had no experience and made the whole herd get lost.
Asian elephants are under first-class State protection in China. Thanks to it, the number of wild Asian elephants in Yunnan province has grown to about 300, and it continues to grow.

Dear friends,
　　Welcome to Bifengxia Panda Base. I’m your guide Li Hua. Look, these pandas are so cute.
　　They are black and white with two big eyes. They like eating bamboo best, but they also eat something else, such as apples and carrots. In their daily life, they like climbing trees in the park and playing games with their friends.
　　But I hope you will not be so noisy when you watch them. And please don't feed them with anything you bring. Because it's dangerous for the pandas.
　　Hope you will have a nice tour here.
