For many of us, the closest we get to wild animals is at a zoo. These places let us see amazing animals-from big cats to tiny lizards-and what they are like. It’s an enjoyable and educational experience for us, but is it the best environment for these animals
Long ago, people could only see wild animals as stuffed dead exhibits in a museum. Later on, live animals were captured by explorers, brought home and put on show to the public in menageries (野生动物园), Animal welfare was not a priority. Modern zoos, however, have transformed the living environments for animals, making bigger enclosures, removing bars, and — to some extent — copying their natural habitats.
Some people have questioned the cruelty of keeping animals captive (养的) for entertainment, but zoos are keen to show that they help wildlife by educating us about conservation. In the UK, the introduction of The Zoo Licensing Act 1981 also required zoos to educate the public. Well-managed zoos are now also involved in supporting and funding protection programmes.
Probably the biggest claim from zoos today is that they help protect species in the wild that are under threat due to climate change. Robert Young, Chair in Wildlife Conservation at Salford University said:”There are quite a lot of different species around the planet which we wouldn’t have today if it wasn’t for zoos.” Some zoos have captive breeding programs which help to preserve the future of species that would otherwise face extinction. Actor Leonardo DiCaprio recently praised Chester Zoo in the LK for its conservation work. It brought “a rare fish species back from the dead” after breeding and releasing a school of golden skiffia fish back into their native river.
While the debate about having zoos continues, new opportunities to meet wildlife are being explored, like virtual reality. Jon Coe, a zoo designer, told the BBC: “Taking a walk through a herd of elephants in the Serengeti, I think, is going to be possible pretty soon.”
4. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. The origins of menageries. B. The benefits of modern zoos.
C. The problems with animal captivity. D. The historical shift in treating wild animals.
5. Why does the author mention the Zoo Licensing Actof1981

B. To explain why zoos began to help wildlife
C. To introduce methods of conserving wildlife.
D. To state the need for stricter regulations of zoos.

7. What conservation achievement was attributed to Chester Zoo by actor Leonardo DiCaprio
A. Exploring ways for humans to meet wildlife.
B. Raising funds for captive breeding programs
C Reviving and releasing a rare fish species.
D. Involving celebrities in raising wildlife awareness.
C
More than 10 million Chinese cultural relics have been lost overseas, most of which were stolen and illegally shipped out (运出) of China during the times of war before 1949. About 1.67 million pieces are housed in more than 200 museums in 47 countries, which accounts for 10 percent of all lost Chinese cultural relics, and the rest are in the hands of private collectors.
Most of these treasures are owned by museums or private collectors in the United States, Europe, Japan and Southeast Asian countries. There are more than 23, 000 pieces in the British Museum, most of which were stolen or bought for pennies more than 100 years ago.
The major method to recover these national treasures was to buy them back. In some cases, private collectors donated the relics to the government. Also the government can turn to official channels (渠道) to demand the return of relics.
In 2003, a priceless (无价的) Bronze Pig’s Head (青铜猪头) dating from the Qing Dynasty (清朝) was returned to its home in Beijing after it was removed by the Anglo-French Allied Army over 140 years ago. Macao entrepreneur (企业家) Stanley Ho (何鸿燊) donated 6 million yuan to buy it back from a US art collector and then donated it to the Poly Art Museum in Beijing.
Although buying-back is the most possible way to recover the lost treasures, limited funding is always a big headache.
In recent years, the Chinese government has improved efforts to recover the precious cultural relics lost overseas. It has started a national project on the recovery of the treasures and has set up a database (数据库) collecting relevant information. It has signed several international agreements with many countries on this matter, and is also looking for international cooperation to recover the relics by working closely with several international organizations.
8. What can be inferred from paragraph 1
A. We need to forcefully demand the return of lost cultural relics.
B. Private collectors made a fortune by selling cultural relics.
C. The war caused a serious loss of Chinese cultural relics.
D. Countries of the world prefer Chinese cultural relics.
9. How the Bronze Pig’s Head returned to the motherland
A. Purchase through our government. B. Donate through Stanley Ho.
C. Return through foreign governments. D. Recover through scientists.
10. What efforts have the Chinese government made to recover lost cultural relics
①Set up a national project to recover. ②Found a database to collect information.
③Sign several international agreements. ④Establish several international organizations.
A. ①②③ B. ①②④
C. ②③④ D. ①②③④
11. Which will be talked about in the following paragraph
A. The cultural relics to be brought back to China.
B. Some funds raised by the Chinese government.
C. The problems challenging the Chinese government.
D. Some examples of international cooperation.
D
A broken heart and a sad ending to a long friendship. That’s something most of us have experienced, or probably will. After all, it’s part of human life. But the experience can be hard to get over.
But research shows there are pathways through the heartache. Listening to sad music is a major one. It can help you begin to feel joy and hopefulness about your life again. It can arouse the desire to connect with others.
Sad music can help heal and uplift you from your broken heart. A recent study from Germany found the emotional influence of listening to sad music is an arousal of feelings of empathy (同情), and a desire for positive connection with others. That, itself, is psychologically healing. It draws you away from concentration on yourself, and possibly towards helping others in need of comfort.
Another experiment, from the University of Kent, found that when people were experiencing sadness, listening to music that was “beautiful but sad” improved their mood. In fact, it did so when the person first consciously accept the situation causing their sadness, and then began listening to the sad music. That is, when they intended that the sad music might help, they found that it did.
These findings link with other studies that show accepting your sad situation emotionally leads to healing and growth beyond it. It seems unbelievable but it does make sense. For example, research from Cornell University found that accepting discomfort about a life experience or new situation, and viewing it as a step towards growth and change, encourages people to find a pathway through it, beyond it. As Churchill famously said, “If you’re going through hell, keep going.” That discomfort points you towards creating a plan, a new action. It brings hope.
12. What can we learn from Paragraph 3&4
A. Sad music can make people help others.
B. Sad music can make sad people feel better.
C. Sad music can make people believe in themselves.
D. Sad music can make people concentrate on themselves.
13. What does the phrase underlined in the last paragraph mean
A. Hearing a swear word used by enemies.
B. Avoiding a place to go after death.
C. Getting an extremely pleasant time.
D. Having an-unbearable experience.
14. How does the author develop this article
A. By presenting research findings. B. By giving directions.
C. By listing authoritative figures. D. By comparing examples.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the article
A. How to Find Pathways through Heartaches
B How We React to a Broken Heart Matters a Lot
C. What We Can Do to Overcome Discomfort in Life
D. Why Listening to Sad Music Heals Your Broken Heart

It was a really hot afternoon in September. Filled with excited audience in the stands, the stadium felt like a heated steamer(蒸笼). Every player was wet with sweat even during the warm-ups. All this meant the game would be a tough test of the mind and body for the teams from Charles City High School and New Hampton High School.
Soon the game began and for the first thirty minutes, each team seemed to have a chance to win and they took the lead by turns. So tired was Mario Hoefer, the captain of the Charles City High School football team, that he had to stop to catch his breath occasionally during the race. Each time he stopped, his teammates came over to his assistance. Though feeling uncomfortable and worn out, Mario Hoefer pushed on as his team had to fight very hard to protect a slim lead while the New Hampton High School football team attempted a late comeback.
About forty minutes later, Mario Hoefer saw his teammates stopping the ball intended for Carter Steinlage, a member of the New Hampton High School football team. Mario Hoefer was about to help his teammates when he noticed that Carter Steinlage went down to the ground, screaming in pain. His eyes were wide open and a look of panic appeared on his face. Judging from Carter Steinlage’s facial expression, Mario Hoefer realized that Carter Steinlage was in a serious condition.
American football can be pretty competitive. From tricking opposing teams to fan drama, they are just another part of the game. There have even been violent fights in the name of defending their own team. However, Mario Hoefer decided to show that his love for the sport would not stop him from helping a competitor in need.
注意:1.续写词数应150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。
Mario Hoefer immediately knew what to do.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was a really hot afternoon in September. Filled with excited audience in the stands, the stadium felt like a heated steamer(蒸笼). Every player was wet with sweat even during the warm-ups. All this meant the game would be a tough test of the mind and body for the teams from Charles City High School and New Hampton High School.
Soon the game began and for the first thirty minutes, each team seemed to have a chance to win and they took the lead by turns. So tired was Mario Hoefer, the captain of the Charles City High School football team, that he had to stop to catch his breath occasionally during the race. Each time he stopped, his teammates came over to his assistance. Though feeling uncomfortable and worn out, Mario Hoefer pushed on as his team had to fight very hard to protect a slim lead while the New Hampton High School football team attempted a late comeback.
About forty minutes later, Mario Hoefer saw his teammates stopping the ball intended for Carter Steinlage, a member of the New Hampton High School football team. Mario Hoefer was about to help his teammates when he noticed that Carter Steinlage went down to the ground, screaming in pain. His eyes were wide open and a look of panic appeared on his face. Judging from Carter Steinlage’s facial expression, Mario Hoefer realized that Carter Steinlage was in a serious condition.
American football can be pretty competitive. From tricking opposing teams to fan drama, they are just another part of the game. There have even been violent fights in the name of defending their own team. However, Mario Hoefer decided to show that his love for the sport would not stop him from helping a competitor in need.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Mario Hoefer immediately knew what to do.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The moment had been recorded by a viewer and posted on social media.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Mario Hoefer immediately knew what to do. Having made sure Carter was in fact merely experiencing a cramp, he knelt down on the ground and held his left foot, pulling it towards himself to relieve Carter’s pain. Meanwhile, he comforted Carter, “Take it easy. You’ll be all right soon.” Gradually, Carter’s panicked and painful expression began to soften. When his teammates and trainer made it to him, he had recovered. Carter rose to his feet, giving Mario a big hug to express his heartfelt gratitude. The game continued, no body realizing the moment had been captured by a viewer in the stands.
The moment had been recorded by a viewer and posted on social media. Surprisingly, it received a flood of supportive responses. Thousands of netizens sang high praise for Mario’s act of kindness. Many thought what he did showed the true sportsmanship on the field and that the world needed to see more of such touching pictures. Mario didn’t expect his instinctive action would arouse such a big reaction, saying modestly, “It was no big deal to step in to stretch Carter’s leg out. It was more like a brotherly thing to help him out.” Mario and Carter, the two former opponents, have since become sincere friends, whose story convinces people of the true spirit of sports.

For many of us, the closest we get to wild animals is at a zoo. These places let us see amazing animals-from big cats to tiny lizards-and what they are like. It’s an enjoyable and educational experience for us, but is it the best environment for these animals
Long ago, people could only see wild animals as stuffed dead exhibits in a museum. Later on, live animals were captured by explorers, brought home and put on show to the public in menageries (野生动物园), Animal welfare was not a priority. Modern zoos, however, have transformed the living environments for animals, making bigger enclosures, removing bars, and — to some extent — copying their natural habitats.
Some people have questioned the cruelty of keeping animals captive (养的) for entertainment, but zoos are keen to show that they help wildlife by educating us about conservation. In the UK, the introduction of The Zoo Licensing Act 1981 also required zoos to educate the public. Well-managed zoos are now also involved in supporting and funding protection programmes.
Probably the biggest claim from zoos today is that they help protect species in the wild that are under threat due to climate change. Robert Young, Chair in Wildlife Conservation at Salford University said:”There are quite a lot of different species around the planet which we wouldn’t have today if it wasn’t for zoos.” Some zoos have captive breeding programs which help to preserve the future of species that would otherwise face extinction. Actor Leonardo DiCaprio recently praised Chester Zoo in the LK for its conservation work. It brought “a rare fish species back from the dead” after breeding and releasing a school of golden skiffia fish back into their native river.
While the debate about having zoos continues, new opportunities to meet wildlife are being explored, like virtual reality. Jon Coe, a zoo designer, told the BBC: “Taking a walk through a herd of elephants in the Serengeti, I think, is going to be possible pretty soon.”
4. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. The origins of menageries. B. The benefits of modern zoos.
C. The problems with animal captivity. D. The historical shift in treating wild animals.
5. Why does the author mention the Zoo Licensing Actof1981
A. To emphasize the educational role of zoos.
B. To explain why zoos began to help wildlife
C. To introduce methods of conserving wildlife.
D. To state the need for stricter regulations of zoos.
6. What’s Robert Young’s attitude toward having zoos
A. Critical. B. Neutral. C. Doubtful. D. Supportive.
7. What conservation achievement was attributed to Chester Zoo by actor Leonardo DiCaprio
A. Exploring ways for humans to meet wildlife.
B. Raising funds for captive breeding programs
C Reviving and releasing a rare fish species.
D. Involving celebrities in raising wildlife awareness.
C
More than 10 million Chinese cultural relics have been lost overseas, most of which were stolen and illegally shipped out (运出) of China during the times of war before 1949. About 1.67 million pieces are housed in more than 200 museums in 47 countries, which accounts for 10 percent of all lost Chinese cultural relics, and the rest are in the hands of private collectors.
Most of these treasures are owned by museums or private collectors in the United States, Europe, Japan and Southeast Asian countries. There are more than 23, 000 pieces in the British Museum, most of which were stolen or bought for pennies more than 100 years ago.
The major method to recover these national treasures was to buy them back. In some cases, private collectors donated the relics to the government. Also the government can turn to official channels (渠道) to demand the return of relics.
In 2003, a priceless (无价的) Bronze Pig’s Head (青铜猪头) dating from the Qing Dynasty (清朝) was returned to its home in Beijing after it was removed by the Anglo-French Allied Army over 140 years ago. Macao entrepreneur (企业家) Stanley Ho (何鸿燊) donated 6 million yuan to buy it back from a US art collector and then donated it to the Poly Art Museum in Beijing.
Although buying-back is the most possible way to recover the lost treasures, limited funding is always a big headache.
In recent years, the Chinese government has improved efforts to recover the precious cultural relics lost overseas. It has started a national project on the recovery of the treasures and has set up a database (数据库) collecting relevant information. It has signed several international agreements with many countries on this matter, and is also looking for international cooperation to recover the relics by working closely with several international organizations.
8. What can be inferred from paragraph 1
A. We need to forcefully demand the return of lost cultural relics.
B. Private collectors made a fortune by selling cultural relics.
C. The war caused a serious loss of Chinese cultural relics.
D. Countries of the world prefer Chinese cultural relics.
9. How the Bronze Pig’s Head returned to the motherland
A. Purchase through our government. B. Donate through Stanley Ho.
C. Return through foreign governments. D. Recover through scientists.
10. What efforts have the Chinese government made to recover lost cultural relics
①Set up a national project to recover. ②Found a database to collect information.
③Sign several international agreements. ④Establish several international organizations.
A. ①②③ B. ①②④
C. ②③④ D. ①②③④
11. Which will be talked about in the following paragraph
A. The cultural relics to be brought back to China.
B. Some funds raised by the Chinese government.
C. The problems challenging the Chinese government.
D. Some examples of international cooperation.
D
A broken heart and a sad ending to a long friendship. That’s something most of us have experienced, or probably will. After all, it’s part of human life. But the experience can be hard to get over.
But research shows there are pathways through the heartache. Listening to sad music is a major one. It can help you begin to feel joy and hopefulness about your life again. It can arouse the desire to connect with others.
Sad music can help heal and uplift you from your broken heart. A recent study from Germany found the emotional influence of listening to sad music is an arousal of feelings of empathy (同情), and a desire for positive connection with others. That, itself, is psychologically healing. It draws you away from concentration on yourself, and possibly towards helping others in need of comfort.
Another experiment, from the University of Kent, found that when people were experiencing sadness, listening to music that was “beautiful but sad” improved their mood. In fact, it did so when the person first consciously accept the situation causing their sadness, and then began listening to the sad music. That is, when they intended that the sad music might help, they found that it did.
These findings link with other studies that show accepting your sad situation emotionally leads to healing and growth beyond it. It seems unbelievable but it does make sense. For example, research from Cornell University found that accepting discomfort about a life experience or new situation, and viewing it as a step towards growth and change, encourages people to find a pathway through it, beyond it. As Churchill famously said, “If you’re going through hell, keep going.” That discomfort points you towards creating a plan, a new action. It brings hope.
12. What can we learn from Paragraph 3&4
A. Sad music can make people help others.
B. Sad music can make sad people feel better.
C. Sad music can make people believe in themselves.
D. Sad music can make people concentrate on themselves.
13. What does the phrase underlined in the last paragraph mean
A. Hearing a swear word used by enemies.
B. Avoiding a place to go after death.
C. Getting an extremely pleasant time.
D. Having an-unbearable experience.
14. How does the author develop this article
A. By presenting research findings. B. By giving directions.
C. By listing authoritative figures. D. By comparing examples.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the article
A. How to Find Pathways through Heartaches
B How We React to a Broken Heart Matters a Lot
C. What We Can Do to Overcome Discomfort in Life
D. Why Listening to Sad Music Heals Your Broken Heart

More than 10 million Chinese cultural relics have been lost overseas, most of which were stolen and illegally shipped out (运出) of China during the times of war before 1949. About 1.67 million pieces are housed in more than 200 museums in 47 countries, which accounts for 10 percent of all lost Chinese cultural relics, and the rest are in the hands of private collectors.
Most of these treasures are owned by museums or private collectors in the United States, Europe, Japan and Southeast Asian countries. There are more than 23, 000 pieces in the British Museum, most of which were stolen or bought for pennies more than 100 years ago.
The major method to recover these national treasures was to buy them back. In some cases, private collectors donated the relics to the government. Also the government can turn to official channels (渠道) to demand the return of relics.
In 2003, a priceless (无价的) Bronze Pig’s Head (青铜猪头) dating from the Qing Dynasty (清朝) was returned to its home in Beijing after it was removed by the Anglo-French Allied Army over 140 years ago. Macao entrepreneur (企业家) Stanley Ho (何鸿燊) donated 6 million yuan to buy it back from a US art collector and then donated it to the Poly Art Museum in Beijing.
Although buying-back is the most possible way to recover the lost treasures, limited funding is always a big headache.
In recent years, the Chinese government has improved efforts to recover the precious cultural relics lost overseas. It has started a national project on the recovery of the treasures and has set up a database (数据库) collecting relevant information. It has signed several international agreements with many countries on this matter, and is also looking for international cooperation to recover the relics by working closely with several international organizations.
8. What can be inferred from paragraph 1
A. We need to forcefully demand the return of lost cultural relics.
B. Private collectors made a fortune by selling cultural relics.
C. The war caused a serious loss of Chinese cultural relics.
D. Countries of the world prefer Chinese cultural relics.
9. How the Bronze Pig’s Head returned to the motherland
A. Purchase through our government. B. Donate through Stanley Ho.
C. Return through foreign governments. D. Recover through scientists.
10. What efforts have the Chinese government made to recover lost cultural relics
①Set up a national project to recover. ②Found a database to collect information.
③Sign several international agreements. ④Establish several international organizations.
A. ①②③ B. ①②④
C. ②③④ D. ①②③④
11. Which will be talked about in the following paragraph
A. The cultural relics to be brought back to China.
B. Some funds raised by the Chinese government.
C. The problems challenging the Chinese government.
D. Some examples of international cooperation.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. D

A broken heart and a sad ending to a long friendship. That’s something most of us have experienced, or probably will. After all, it’s part of human life. But the experience can be hard to get over.
But research shows there are pathways through the heartache. Listening to sad music is a major one. It can help you begin to feel joy and hopefulness about your life again. It can arouse the desire to connect with others.
Sad music can help heal and uplift you from your broken heart. A recent study from Germany found the emotional influence of listening to sad music is an arousal of feelings of empathy (同情), and a desire for positive connection with others. That, itself, is psychologically healing. It draws you away from concentration on yourself, and possibly towards helping others in need of comfort.
Another experiment, from the University of Kent, found that when people were experiencing sadness, listening to music that was “beautiful but sad” improved their mood. In fact, it did so when the person first consciously accept the situation causing their sadness, and then began listening to the sad music. That is, when they intended that the sad music might help, they found that it did.
These findings link with other studies that show accepting your sad situation emotionally leads to healing and growth beyond it. It seems unbelievable but it does make sense. For example, research from Cornell University found that accepting discomfort about a life experience or new situation, and viewing it as a step towards growth and change, encourages people to find a pathway through it, beyond it. As Churchill famously said, “If you’re going through hell, keep going.” That discomfort points you towards creating a plan, a new action. It brings hope.
12. What can we learn from Paragraph 3&4
A. Sad music can make people help others.
B. Sad music can make sad people feel better.
C. Sad music can make people believe in themselves.
D. Sad music can make people concentrate on themselves.
13. What does the phrase underlined in the last paragraph mean
A. Hearing a swear word used by enemies.
B. Avoiding a place to go after death.
C. Getting an extremely pleasant time.
D. Having an-unbearable experience.
14. How does the author develop this article
A. By presenting research findings. B. By giving directions.
C. By listing authoritative figures. D. By comparing examples.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the article
A. How to Find Pathways through Heartaches
B. How We React to a Broken Heart Matters a Lot
C. What We Can Do to Overcome Discomfort in Life
D. Why Listening to Sad Music Heals Your Broken Heart

第二节 读后续写（满分25分）
47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was a really hot afternoon in September. Filled with excited audience in the stands, the stadium felt like a heated steamer(蒸笼). Every player was wet with sweat even during the warm-ups. All this meant the game would be a tough test of the mind and body for the teams from Charles City High School and New Hampton High School.
Soon the game began and for the first thirty minutes, each team seemed to have a chance to win and they took the lead by turns. So tired was Mario Hoefer, the captain of the Charles City High School football team, that he had to stop to catch his breath occasionally during the race. Each time he stopped, his teammates came over to his assistance. Though feeling uncomfortable and worn out, Mario Hoefer pushed on as his team had to fight very hard to protect a slim lead while the New Hampton High School football team attempted a late comeback.
About forty minutes later, Mario Hoefer saw his teammates stopping the ball intended for Carter Steinlage, a member of the New Hampton High School football team. Mario Hoefer was about to help his teammates when he noticed that Carter Steinlage went down to the ground, screaming in pain. His eyes were wide open and a look of panic appeared on his face. Judging from Carter Steinlage’s facial expression, Mario Hoefer realized that Carter Steinlage was in a serious condition.
American football can be pretty competitive. From tricking opposing teams to fan drama, they are just another part of the game. There have even been violent fights in the name of defending their own team. However, Mario Hoefer decided to show that his love for the sport would not stop him from helping a competitor in need.
注意:1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Mario Hoefer immediately knew what to do.

The moment had been recorded by a viewer and posted on social media.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Mario Hoefer immediately knew what to do. Having made sure Carter was in fact merely experiencing a cramp, he knelt down on the ground and held his left foot, pulling it towards himself to relieve Carter’s pain. Meanwhile, he comforted Carter, “Take it easy. You’ll be all right soon.” Gradually, Carter’s panicked and painful expression began to soften. When his teammates and trainer made it to him, he had recovered. Carter rose to his feet, giving Mario a big hug to express his heartfelt gratitude. The game continued, no body realizing the moment had been captured by a viewer in the stands.
The moment had been recorded by a viewer and posted on social media. Surprisingly, it received a flood of supportive responses. Thousands of netizens sang high praise for Mario’s act of kindness. Many thought what he did showed the true sportsmanship on the field and that the world needed to see more of such touching pictures. Mario didn’t expect his instinctive action would arouse such a big reaction, saying modestly, “It was no big deal to step in to stretch Carter’s leg out. It was more like a brotherly thing to help him out.” Mario and Carter, the two former opponents, have since become sincere friends, whose story convinces people of the true spirit of sports.
