Many students think that learning a new language is very difficult. But if
your brain (大脑) is only the same size as a bird's, you
will know how difficult it is to learn English. That is what some birds can do.
Many birds can copy (模仿) the sounds of language. A type of African parrot is very good at doing
this. This kind of parrot has grey feathers and people say they are clever.
Every December in London, the
National Cage and Aviary Bird Show tries to find the best "talking" bird
in the world. One bird named Prudle stood out (突出) among
the " talking birds" by winning
this prize every year from 1965 to 1977. In 1958, somebody took Prudle from his
nest in Uganda, and then sold it to a woman named Iris Frost. She then took care
of him at her home in Seaford, England. Before he died in 1994, aged 35, Prudle
knew almost 800 words in English. Prudle was also the oldest bird in the world that
lived in a cage.
Another parrot named Puck was
tested in 1993. It turned out that Puck knew even more words than Prudle. Puck knew
more than 1,700 English words. In the 2003 Guinness Book of World Records, Puck
was listed as knowing more words than any other bird in the world.

As more information comes out about 10-year-old Cindy Smith's death(死亡), worries about amusement park safety(游乐场安全性) grow.
Cindy is not the first child who
died on an amusement park ride. 25 years ago, the mother of a 14-year-old girl waited
to pick up her daughter outside Worlds of Fun. Laura Barry never saw her daughter
Rosie alive again.
"My heart goes out to
the Smith family more than they can ever possibly know," said Barry. She is
one of the few people who truly know the hurt that family is feeling.
In 1995, Rosie's mom said that
something went wrong on the Timber Wolf the night Rosie died. Police found no evidence(证据). Two men told the police that they saw Rosie standing before she fell
out of the car.
"I couldn't believe that
such a thing could happen still and again," said Barry. She believes Rosie's
death should have been a wakeup call for amusement park safety.
She finds that not much has changed
in the past years. Amusement parks race to build bigger, taller, faster rides. In
her opinion, amusement parks just try to bring in visitors and give them the idea
that riding is good, safe and fun. She believes that parks should have put safety
first.
There is no exact number of amusement
park deaths each year. It is quite low according to some websites. But Barry doesn't
accept that. "My daughter was the only person that had ever been killed at
Worlds of Fun in all of the years, among all of the thousands and thousands of people
that went there. The number doesn't mean anything, you know, because when your child
is the one, that's one too many," she said.
21．What does the underlined phrase "goes out to" mean in Chinese
A．制止 B．同情 C．想念 D．忍受
22．What happened to Barry in 1995
A．Something went wrong with her car.
B．Rosie didn't arrive home on time.
C．She got to know the Smith family.
D．Rosie fell off an amusement park ride.
23．How did Barry feel when saying the words in Paragraph 5
A．Afraid. B．Angry. C．Hopeful. D．Interested.
24．What can we learn about amusement parks
A．They are building more rides.
B．Most of them put safety first.
C．They cause a large number of deaths.
D．They paid Barry a lot for Rosie's death.
25．What is the text mainly about
A．The story of the Smith family. B．The death of a 10-year-old girl.
C．The safety of amusement parks. D．The future of amusement parks.

Give water, save lives
A
bottle of water may not seem like much to you, but thousands of bottles will be
of great help for people who live in drought-hit(遭受旱灾)
areas in China.
Since
last autumn, there has been very little rain in Southwest China. Some places, especially
in Yunnan, Guangxi, Sichuan, Guizhou, have experienced a serious drought. Crops
(庄稼) died, the land cracked(裂开), and wells (井) and rivers dried up. More than 20 million people are having difficulty
in finding safe drinking water.
After
learning about the drought, many people around the country helped by giving water,
money and other things.
Last
week, every member of the Communist Youth League (共青团员) and Young Pioneers(少先队员) were encouraged to
give one bottle of water to the drought-hit areas. Students in primary schools and
middle schools quickly joined the activity. In Yuhua Primary School in Xi' an, 900
students bought over 1,000 bottles of water with their pocket money. They also wrote
their wishes on the bottles.
The
serious drought has also made students realize the importance of saving water. Students
from Nanshan Middle School in Huizhou, Guangdong went on the street to tell people
to take part in water-saving activities.
"I've
heard that some children in drought-hit areas don't have enough drinking water.
They have to drink muddy ( 含有泥土的 ) water. I feel really
sad about that," said one student. "I decide to take a shower twice a
week instead of every day to save water," he said.
51．Why
did a serious drought happen in Southwest China
52．How
much water did the students in Yuhua Primary School buy with their pocket money
last week
53．What
did people do after learning about the drought
54．What
did the people in drought-hit areas need most
55．What
has the serious drought made students realize

As more information comes out about 10-year-old Cindy Smith's death(死亡), worries about amusement park safety(游乐场安全性) grow.
Cindy is not the first child who
died on an amusement park ride. 25 years ago, the mother of a 14-year-old girl waited
to pick up her daughter outside Worlds of Fun. Laura Barry never saw her daughter
Rosie alive again.
"My heart goes out to
the Smith family more than they can ever possibly know," said Barry. She is
one of the few people who truly know the hurt that family is feeling.
In 1995, Rosie's mom said that
something went wrong on the Timber Wolf the night Rosie died. Police found no evidence(证据). Two men told the police that they saw Rosie standing before she fell
out of the car.
"I couldn't believe that
such a thing could happen still and again," said Barry. She believes Rosie's
death should have been a wakeup call for amusement park safety.
She finds that not much has changed
in the past years. Amusement parks race to build bigger, taller, faster rides. In
her opinion, amusement parks just try to bring in visitors and give them the idea
that riding is good, safe and fun. She believes that parks should have put safety
first.
There is no exact number of amusement
park deaths each year. It is quite low according to some websites. But Barry doesn't
accept that. "My daughter was the only person that had ever been killed at
Worlds of Fun in all of the years, among all of the thousands and thousands of people
that went there. The number doesn't mean anything, you know, because when your child
is the one, that's one too many," she said.
21．What does the underlined phrase "goes out to" mean in Chinese
A．制止 B．同情 C．想念 D．忍受
22．What happened to Barry in 1995
A．Something went wrong with her car.
B．Rosie didn't arrive home on time.
C．She got to know the Smith family.
D．Rosie fell off an amusement park ride.
23．How did Barry feel when saying the words in Paragraph 5
A．Afraid. B．Angry. C．Hopeful. D．Interested.
24．What can we learn about amusement parks
A．They are building more rides.
B．Most of them put safety first.
C．They cause a large number of deaths.
D．They paid Barry a lot for Rosie's death.
25．What is the text mainly about
A．The story of the Smith family. B．The death of a 10-year-old girl.
C．The safety of amusement parks. D．The future of amusement parks.

22．细节理解题。根据第四段Two men told the police that they saw Rosie standing before she fell out of the car.可知两名男子看到罗茜站着从车上掉下来。故选D。
23．推理判断题。根据第五段 "I couldn't believe that such a thing could happen still and again," said Barry. She believes Rosie's death should have been a wakeup call for amusement park safety. 可知Barry说：“我不敢相信这样的事情会一再发生。”她认为罗茜的死应该是对游乐园安全的一个警钟。因此Barry说这些话时应该是愤怒的，故选B。
24．细节理解题。根据第六段Amusement parks race to build bigger, taller, faster rides. 可知游乐园竞相建造更大，更高，更快的游乐设施。故选A。
25．主旨大意题。根据第一段As more information comes out about 10-year-old Cindy Smith's death(死亡), worries about amusement park safety(游乐场安全性) grow. 随着10岁女孩辛迪死亡更多信息的出现，关于游乐场安全性的焦虑也在增加及后文可知本文主要讲述游乐园的安全。故选C。

A
bottle of water may not seem like much to you, but thousands of bottles will be
of great help for people who live in drought-hit(遭受旱灾)
areas in China.
Since
last autumn, there has been very little rain in Southwest China. Some places, especially
in Yunnan, Guangxi, Sichuan, Guizhou, have experienced a serious drought. Crops
(庄稼) died, the land cracked(裂开), and wells (井) and rivers dried up. More than 20 million people are having difficulty
in finding safe drinking water.
After
learning about the drought, many people around the country helped by giving water,
money and other things.
Last
week, every member of the Communist Youth League (共青团员) and Young Pioneers(少先队员) were encouraged to
give one bottle of water to the drought-hit areas. Students in primary schools and
middle schools quickly joined the activity. In Yuhua Primary School in Xi' an, 900
students bought over 1,000 bottles of water with their pocket money. They also wrote
their wishes on the bottles.
The
serious drought has also made students realize the importance of saving water. Students
from Nanshan Middle School in Huizhou, Guangdong went on the street to tell people
to take part in water-saving activities.
"I've
heard that some children in drought-hit areas don't have enough drinking water.
They have to drink muddy ( 含有泥土的 ) water. I feel really
