Dr Dian Fossey, one of the world’s leading women scientists, had a remarkable career. The work she devoted her life to protecting and studying the mountain gorillas (大猩猩) of Africa --- has proved highly effective and has resulted in the steady (平稳的) increase of this most endangered great apes.
Fossey made her first trip to Africa in 1963. Three years later, she returned to Africa to begin a long-term study of the mountain gorillas. She set up camp in the Democratic Republic of Congo but moved to Rwanda because of political reasons in 1967. She established her “Karisoke” Research Centre camp on September 24, 1967.
Fossey’s aims were to study gorilla ecology (生态学) and social organization. She found that in order to achieve this, she needed to recognize individual gorillas, which required that the gorillas get used to her presence (出现). By copying gorillas’ behaviour and sounds, Fossey began to gain their trust, and in 1970 an adult male gorilla she had named “Peanuts” reached out to touch her hand.
Close observations over thousands of hours enabled Fossey to gain the gorillas’ trust and bring forth new knowledge about their behaviour. Stories and photographs of her work were published in National Geographic Magazine and elsewhere.
In 1977, one of Fossey’s favorite gorillas, Digit, was killed by poachers and she established the Digit Fund to help raise money for gorilla protection efforts in the same year.
On December 26, 1985, Fossey was murdered while going back to her house in Karisoke. Her body was discovered near the research centre. Most probably, Dian Fossey had been killed by the poachers she’d fought against. On her tombstone (墓碑) “No one loved gorillas more ...”
In 1988, the life and the work of Fossey were made into a movie based on her story.

A. a. d. c. b B. a. c.d. b

The Union Jack is the national flag of the United Kingdom. It is so called because it combines the emblems (象征) of three countries—England, Scotland and Ireland (although since 1921 only Northern Ireland has been part of the United Kingdom).
The term “Union Jack” possibly dates from Queen Anne’s time but its origin is uncertain. It may come from the “Jacket” of the English or Scottish soldiers; or from the name of James Ⅰ who originated the first union in 1603, in either its Latin or French form “Jacobus” or “Jacques”; or, as “jack” once meant small, the name may come from a royal proclamation (声明) issued by Charles Ⅱ that the flag should be flown only by ships of the Royal Navy as a jack, a small flag at the bowsprit (船首).
The Union Jack was originally a royal flag (when the present design was made official in 1801, it was ordered to be flown on all the King’s forts and castles, but not elsewhere); it is today flown above Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle when the Queen is not in residence. On news of a royal death, the Union Jack will be flown at halfmast (下半旗).
The flying of the Union Jack on public buildings is decided by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport at the Queen’s command. The Union Jack is flown on government buildings on days marking the birthdays of members of the royal family, such as the Queen’s official birthday, and on the days of the State Opening and prorogation (休会) of Parliament; it is also flown on St David’s Day, St George’s Day, St Andrew’s Day, and St Patrick’s Day.
Although the Union Jack originated as a royal flag, it is now also flown by many people and organizations elsewhere in the United Kingdom. Its use as an emblem has extended beyond the form of a flag and the Union Jack is frequently shown on other objects.
8. The reason why the national flag of the United Kingdom is called the Union Jack is that ________.
A. the flag is made of jacket
B. the flag combines the emblems of three countries
C. the flag shows the symbol of unity
D. the flag originated from the existence of the United Kingdom
9. The second paragraph mainly talks about ________.
A. the origin of the national flag
B. the history of the national flag
C. the reason why the Union Jack has become the national flag
D. the way how the Union Jack has become the national flag
10. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage
A. Once the Union Jack was not flown elsewhere except royal places.
B. The Union Jack will be flown at halfmast if a member of the royal family dies.
C. Many people and organizations can flow the Union Jack in the world.
D. The Union Jack can be flown in many places and on many days in the United Kingdom.
11. What is the best title of the passage
A. The Union Jack Everywhere B. The Union Jack at Anytime
C. National Flag, the Union Jack D. The History of the Union Jack
D
English is full of funny expressions that don’t always make sense. Idioms are phrases and sentences that do not mean exactly what they say. Even if you know the meaning of each word, you may not understand the idiom because you don’t understand the culture behind it. Here are some English idioms based on animals.
When children jump around and act silly, their parents may tell them to stop “monkeying around”.To “monkey around” means to do things that are not useful or serious, or to simply waste time.
Many American families have and love pet dogs. But for some unknown reason, Americans use “dog” in a phrase that means to feel unwell. If you are “as sick as a dog”, you’re really, really sick.
Sometimes you may also hear cats mentioned in conversations, “I told you to keep that secret, but you have just ‘let the cat out of the bag’!” You probably guessed it — that idiom means to reveal a secret or tell facts that were previously unknown.
Dogs and cats don’t always get along, but they appear side by side in a commonly used idiom. When it rains heavily, people might say it’s “raining cats and dogs”．
Heavy rain often ruins people’s plans for outdoor activities. But on a lovely day, you can have a picnic. If a swarm (一群) of tiny bugs love your food and start to hover (盘旋) around you, it would be really annoying. That experience perfectly explains why people often tell someone who keeps bothering them to “stop bugging me”．
Idioms are very common in both spoken and written English. If you want to have a better understanding of English, you have to learn idioms.
12. According to Paragraph 1, which is right about idioms
A. Expressions which are based on animals.
B. Expressions with rich cultural background.
C. Expressions that always make sense.
D. Expressions which are easy to understand.
13. What can “monkeying around” be used to describe
A. Children jump around and waste time.
B. Children do something useful and serious.
C. Children play with monkeys with their parents.
D. Children spend time playing with their family pets.
14. What can be learned from the text
A. Dogs and cats always get along nicely.
B. Bugs can be used to show your annoyance.
C. Americans believe cats can give away secrets.
D. Americans use the idiom “as sick as a dog” to describe a healthy man.
15. How does the text mainly develop
A. By sharing experiences.
B. By making comparisons.
C. By giving examples.
D. By listing figures.

The Union Jack is the national flag of the United Kingdom. It is so called because it combines the emblems (象征) of three countries—England, Scotland and Ireland (although since 1921 only Northern Ireland has been part of the United Kingdom).
The term “Union Jack” possibly dates from Queen Anne’s time, but its origin is uncertain. It may come from the “Jacket” of the English or Scottish soldiers; or from the name of James Ⅰ who originated the first union in 1603, in either its Latin or French form “Jacobus” or “Jacques”; or, as “jack” once meant small, the name may come from a royal proclamation (声明) issued by Charles Ⅱ that the flag should be flown only by ships of the Royal Navy as a jack, a small flag at the bowsprit (船首).
The Union Jack was originally a royal flag (when the present design was made official in 1801, it was ordered to be flown on all the King’s forts and castles, but not elsewhere); it is today flown above Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle when the Queen is not in residence. On news of a royal death, the Union Jack will be flown at halfmast (下半旗).
The flying of the Union Jack on public buildings is decided by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport at the Queen’s command. The Union Jack is flown on government buildings on days marking the birthdays of members of the royal family, such as the Queen’s official birthday, and on the days of the State Opening and prorogation (休会) of Parliament; it is also flown on St David’s Day, St George’s Day, St Andrew’s Day, and St Patrick’s Day.
Although the Union Jack originated as a royal flag, it is now also flown by many people and organizations elsewhere in the United Kingdom. Its use as an emblem has extended beyond the form of a flag and the Union Jack is frequently shown on other objects.
8. The reason why the national flag of the United Kingdom is called the Union Jack is that ________.
A. the flag is made of jacket
B. the flag combines the emblems of three countries
C. the flag shows the symbol of unity
D. the flag originated from the existence of the United Kingdom
9. The second paragraph mainly talks about ________.
A. the origin of the national flag
B. the history of the national flag
C. the reason why the Union Jack has become the national flag
D. the way how the Union Jack has become the national flag
10. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage
A. Once the Union Jack was not flown elsewhere except royal places.
B. The Union Jack will be flown at halfmast if a member of the royal family dies.
C. Many people and organizations can flow the Union Jack in the world.
D. The Union Jack can be flown in many places and on many days in the United Kingdom.
11. What is the best title of the passage
A. The Union Jack Everywhere B. The Union Jack at Anytime
C. National Flag, the Union Jack D. The History of the Union Jack
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了英国国旗的起源和使用场合。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“It is so called because it combines the emblems (象征) of three countries—England, Scotland and Ireland (although since 1921 only Northern Ireland has been part of the United Kingdom). (之所以这样称呼，是因为它结合了三个国家的标志——英格兰、苏格兰和爱尔兰(尽管自1921年以来只有北爱尔兰成为联合王国的一部分)。)”可知，英国国旗又被称为The Union Jack的原因是它结合了英格兰、苏格兰和爱尔兰三个国家的象征。故选B项。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段的主要内容，尤其第一句“The term “Union Jack” possibly dates from Queen Anne’s time, but its origin is uncertain. (“Union Jack”一词可能追溯到安妮女王时代，但其起源尚不确定)”可知，第二段讲述的是英国国旗“Union Jack”的起源。故选A项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The flying of the Union Jack on public buildings is decided by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport at the Queen’s command. The Union Jack is flown on government buildings on days marking the birthdays of members of the royal family, such as the Queen’s official birthday, and on the days of the State Opening and prorogation (休会) of Parliament; it is also flown on St David’s Day, St George’s Day, St Andrew’s Day, and St Patrick’s Day. (英国国旗在公共建筑上的悬挂由文化、媒体和体育部在女王的命令下决定。在王室成员生日的日子，比如女王的官方生日，以及国家开幕和议会休会的日子，英国国旗会在政府大楼上飘扬;它也在圣大卫节、圣乔治节、圣安德鲁节和圣帕特里克节飞行。)”可知，the Union Jack 在以前只适用于家场合，后来逐渐延伸到很多地方和很多场合。但它是英国国旗，不是所有人都可以使用。故选C项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段“The Union Jack is the national flag of the United Kingdom. (The Union Jack是英国的国旗。)”可知，文章先介绍了英国国旗的名称和名称的起源，又介绍了国旗最初的使用场合和现在的使用场合。故C项“国旗——the Union Jack”可作为本文的最佳标题。故选C项。

English is full of funny expressions that don’t always make sense. Idioms are phrases and sentences that do not mean exactly what they say. Even if you know the meaning of each word, you may not understand the idiom because you don’t understand the culture behind it. Here are some English idioms based on animals.
When children jump around and act silly, their parents may tell them to stop “monkeying around”.To “monkey around” means to do things that are not useful or serious, or to simply waste time.
Many American families have and love pet dogs. But for some unknown reason, Americans use “dog” in a phrase that means to feel unwell. If you are “as sick as a dog”, you’re really, really sick.
Sometimes you may also hear cats mentioned in conversations, “I told you to keep that secret, but you have just ‘let the cat out of the bag’!” You probably guessed it — that idiom means to reveal a secret or tell facts that were previously unknown.
Dogs and cats don’t always get along, but they appear side by side in a commonly used idiom. When it rains heavily, people might say it’s “raining cats and dogs”．
Heavy rain often ruins people’s plans for outdoor activities. But on a lovely day, you can have a picnic. If a swarm (一群) of tiny bugs love your food and start to hover (盘旋) around you, it would be really annoying. That experience perfectly explains why people often tell someone who keeps bothering them to “stop bugging me”．
Idioms are very common in both spoken and written English. If you want to have a better understanding of English, you have to learn idioms.
12. According to Paragraph 1, which is right about idioms
A. Expressions which are based on animals.
B. Expressions with rich cultural background.
C. Expressions that always make sense.
D. Expressions which are easy to understand.
13. What can “monkeying around” be used to describe
A. Children jump around and waste time.
B. Children do something useful and serious.
C. Children play with monkeys with their parents.
D. Children spend time playing with their family pets.
14. What can be learned from the text
A Dogs and cats always get along nicely.
B. Bugs can be used to show your annoyance.
C. Americans believe cats can give away secrets.
D. Americans use the idiom “as sick as a dog” to describe a healthy man.
15. How does the text mainly develop
A. By sharing experiences.
B. By making comparisons.
C. By giving examples.
D. By listing figures.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了英语习语的特点并列举了一些与动物相关的习语。
12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段第三句“Even if you know the meaning of each word, you may not understand the idiom because you don’t understand the culture behind it. (即使你知道每个单词的意思，你也可能不理解这个习语，因为你不了解它背后的文化。)”可知，习语有它背后的文化。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“When children jump around and act silly, their parents may tell them to stop “monkeying around”.To “monkey around” means to do things that are not useful or serious, or to simply waste time. (当孩子们跳来跳去做傻事时，他们的父母可能会告诉他们不要“胡闹”。“胡闹”的意思是做一些没用或不严肃的事情，或者只是浪费时间。)”可知，“monkeying around”用来描述跳来跳去，浪费时间的孩子。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段最后两句“If a swarm (一群) of tiny bugs love your food and start to hover (盘旋) around you, it would be really annoying. That experience perfectly explains why people often tell someone who keeps bothering them to “stop bugging me”. (如果一群小虫子喜欢你的食物，开始在你周围盘旋，那真的很烦人。这种经历很好地解释了为什么人们经常告诉那些一直打扰他们的人“别烦我了”。)”可知，人们经常对一直打扰他们的人说“stop bugging me”。由此可推知，我们可以用与虫子(bug)有关的习语来表达恼怒。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章第一段说明了英语习语的特点，第二至六段列举了五个与动物相关的英语习语并进行了语意的探究，由此推知，本文是以举例子的方式展开的。故选C。

The father asked his son, “what is this ” The son replied, “It is a crow.”
After a few minutes, the father asked his son for the second time, “What is this ” The son said, “Father , I have just now told you, it is a crow!”
After a little while, the old father again asked his son for the third time, “What is this ”
At this time some expression of irritation (恼怒) was felt in the son’s tone when he said to his father with a rebuff (生硬回绝) . “It’s a crow , a crow.” A little while later, the father again asked his son the fourth time, “ What is this ”
This time, the son shouted at his father, “ Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again, although I have told you so many times ‘IT IS A CROW’. Are you not able to understand this ’
A little while later the father went to his room and came back with an old tattered (发皱的) diary, which he had maintained since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page. When the son read it, the following words were written in the diary:
“Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when a crow was sitting on the window. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question. I did not at all feel annoyed but I rather felt love for my innocent son.

【答案】One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
After reading the diary, tears rolled down the son’s face and he recalled the days when he used to sit together with his father. His father would patiently answer the same question all 23 times without feeling annoyed while his father asked him the same question just four times! Only until then did he realize what a kind and selfless father he has! He loved his son so much but he didn't expect anything in return. He couldn’t help bursting into tears.
Paragraph 2:
Feeling ashamed, the son got down on his knees before his father. He said to his father with regret,“ I’m so stupid that I hurt you. In no case will I make you annoyed in the future. I promise to see you happy forever, Dad. It is you who have cared for me since I was a little child, showering your selfless love on me. But now, it is my turn to do that.’’ Dad smiled proudly and they hugged each other tightly.
