In yesterday"s circus (马戏团) show, a tiger suddenly attacked its trainer and had to be shot dead.
As the circus packed up and left, circus officials said the show would go on, even without tigers.
However, the officials can"t simply turn a blind eye to the ethical problems left behind. Even before
this tragedy (悲剧), animal rights activists protested against keeping wild animals in unnatural conditions
and forcing them to suffer for the profit (利润) of circus organizers.
It is now time for us to take effective steps to make sure that circus animals are treated properly.
Circus Safe for Animals
Our circus recently suffered a most tragic event in its history. While we are thankful for the pity from
the public, we are also astonished by the opinion expressed in "Tragedy at the Circus."
First, our performing animals are not taken from the wild. As to the ethical problems. we always believe
humans and animals can-and should-live together nicely. To us, the performing animals are representatives
of their species (物种), and our circus is one of the only places left willing to support this special role of
performing animals in the existence of the species. Those who argue that circus life is harmful to animals
show little knowledge of these facts. Life in the "wild" is unsafe, but a continuous struggle for existence.
To overlook these reslities is the greatest fault against the animal kingdom.
This circus has proven that animals are stronger and smarter than we could imagine. Within the circus
is a joyful atmosphere for both animals and humans: people are educated, and species saved.
B. To express worries about ainimal trainers"safety.
C. To deal with the difficult situations of the circus.
D. To call for action to protect circus animals.
B. Continue its performances.
C. Use fewer wild animals.
D. Limit its profit.
B. They struggle continuously with human beings for existence.
C. They are helpful in saving their species.
D. They have equally natural living conditions as wild animals.
B. A newspaper article and a reply to it.
C. Two parts of a newspaper article.
D. Two newspaper reports.

举一反三
I feel there arc a number of reasons for this.
Some people blame the fact that we arc surrounded (包围) by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as
fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom
cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants, then probably children would buy less
take-away food.
There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I agree with
this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If children
are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed to choose what they eat,
they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, and this will carry on throughout their lives.
There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk to
school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games. Not
only is this an unhealthy pastime (消遣), it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food. What they need is
to go outside and play active games or sports.
The above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to be
more active, as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.
B. Those who often watch television.
C. Those who often have meals at home.
D. Those who often walk to school.
B. they are too busy to go out and play
C. they can"t choose what to eat
D. there are too many fast food shops around
B. guiding
C. driving
D. moving
B. provide facts
C. give advice
D. compare opinions
and cut waste－a step that environmentalists believe is a first for Europe.
Shopkeepers in Mod bury population 1,500, agreed to stop handing out disposable plastic bags to
customers on Saturday. They said paper sacks and cloth carrier bags would be offered instead.
Last month, San Franciso became the first U.S. city to ban plastic grocery bags. Internationally, laws
to discourage the use of plastic bags have been passed in parts of South Africa and Ireland, where
governments either tax shoppers who use them or fine companies that hand them out. Bangladesh already
bans them, and so do at least 30 remote Alaskan villages.
Mod bury, about 225 miles southwest of London, has also declared a bag ammesty (宽限期), allowing
local people to hand in plastic bags that have piled up at home. They will be sent for a recveling. The Mod
bury ban was the idea of Rebecca Hosking, who saw the effect of bags on manne life while working in the
Pacific as a wildlife camerawoman. She said response (反应) in the town so far had been "really positive".
"Mod bury is quite an old-fashioned town and a lot of people have wicker baskets to go out shopping
anyway," Hosking told Sky News Television.
The World watch Institute, an environmental research agency, states that 100 billion plastic bags are
thrown away each year in the United States alone. More than 500 billion are used yearly around the world.
B. An environmentalist.
C. A sailor.
D. A photographer.
B. valuable
C. throw-away
D. long-lasting
B. fewer and fewer plastic bags will be used in the world.
C. San Francisco is the first city to ban plastic bags in the world
D. most countries in the world have passed laws to ban plastic bags
B. Big Cities Banning Plastic Bags
C. Effect of Plastic Fags on Sea Animals
D. British Town Banning Plastic Bags
people every year-almost all of whom are under five, very poor, and African. In most years, more than
five hundred million cases of illness result from the disease, although exact numbers are difficult to assess
because many people don"t (or can"t) seek care. It is not unusual for a family earning less than two hundred
dollars a year to spend a quarter of its income on malaria treatment, and what they often get no longer
works. In countries like Tanzania, Mozambique, and the Gambia, no family, village, hospital, or workplace
can remain unaffected for long.
Malaria starts suddenly, with violent chills, which are soon followed by an intense fever and, often,
headaches. As the parasites multiply, they take over the entire body. Malaria parasites live by eating the red
blood cells they infect (感染). They can also attach themselves to blood vessels in the brain. If it doesn"t kill
you, malaria can happen again and again for years. The disease passed on to humans by female mosquitoes
infected with one of four species of parasite. Together, the mosquito and the parasite are the most deadly
couple in the history of the earth-and one of the most successful. Malaria has five thousand genes, and its
ability to change rapidly to defend itself and resist new drugs has made it nearly impossible to control. Studies
show that mosquitoes are passing on the virus more frequently, and there are more outbreaks in cities with
large populations. Some of the disease"s spread is due to global warming.
For decades, the first-choice treatment for malaria parasites in Africa has been chloroquine, a chemical
which is very cheap and easy to make. Unfortunately, in most parts of the world, malaria parasites have
become resistant to it. Successful alternatives that help prevent resistance are already available, but they have
been in short supply and are very expensive. If these drugs should fail, nobody knows what would come next.
B. it is unusual to seek care
C. they can remain unaffected for long
D. there are too many people suffering from the disease
B. have ability to defend parasites
C. have their red blood cells infected
D. have sudden fever, followed by chills
B. Its ability to pass on the virus frequently.
C. Its outbreaks in cities with large populations.
D. Its ability to defend itself and resist new drugs.
B. the alternative treatment is not easily available to most people
C. malaria has developed its ability to resist parasites
D. nobody knows what will be the drug to treat the disease
B. How many people are killed by malaria each year?
C. Why are there so many people suffering from malaria?
D. What has been done to keep people unaffected for long?
paying attention to the revolution that is taking place in bio-technology (生物技术). With the help of new
medicine, the human body will last a very long time. Death will come mainly from accidents, murder and
war. Today"s leading killers, such as heart disease, cancer, and aging itself, will become distant memories.
In discussion of technological changes, the Internet gets most of the attention these days. But the change
in medicine can be the real technological event of our times. How long can humans live, Human brains wer
e known to decide the final death. Cells (细胞) are the basic units of all living things, and until recently,
scientists were sure that the life of cells could not go much beyond 120 years because the basic materials
of cells, such as those of brain cells, would not last forever. But the upper limits will be broken by new
medicine. Sometime between 2050 and 2100, medicine will have advanced to the point at which every 10
years or so, people will be able to take medicine repair their organs (器官). The medicine, made up of the
basic building materials of life, will build new brain cells, heart cells, and so on-in much the same way our
bodies make new skin cells to take the place of old ones.
It is exciting to imagine that the advance in technology may be changing the most basic condition of
human existence, but many technical problems still must be cleared up on the way to this wonderful future.
B. accidents sad war
C. accidents and aging
D. heart disease and war
B. the Internet
C. brain cells
D. human organs
B. human brains can decide the final death
C. the basic materials of cells will last forever
D. human organs can be repaired by new medicine
B. humans have to take medicine to build new skin cells now
C. much needs to be done before humans can have a longer life
D. we have already solved the technical problems in building new cells
of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. You can also use other senses when you choose
your food. You may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good. You may dislike some types of
food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice. Different animals use different senses to find and
choose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one
sense.
Although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The
giant panda (大熊猫) eats only one particular type of bamboo (竹子). Other animals eat only one type of food
even when given the choice. A kind of white butterfly (蝴蝶) will stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though
there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden. However, most animals have a more varied diet (多样化饮
食). The bear eats fruits and fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The diet of these animals will
be different depending on the season.
Humans have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for us. In
countries such as France and Britain, people eat foods with too much sugar. This makes them overweight,
which is bad for their health. Eating too much red meat and animal products, such as butter, can also be bad
for the health. Choosing the right food, therefore, has become an area of study in modern life.
B. are not satisfied with their food
C. choose food in similar ways
D. eat entirely different food
B. The small bird.
C. The bear.
D. The fox.
B. the food color changes
C. they move to different places
D. they are attracted by different smells
B. French and British food is good
C. some people have few choices of food
D. some people care little about healthy diet
