Have you ever had the feeling that you can't think when there is too much noise around Did you ever think a fish could experience that feeling too? A recent published paper, combined over10,000 scientific papers, confirms that undersea life knows that exact same feeling, more often than not. Anthropogentic ocean noise, also known as underwater noise pollution, has created a huge impact on sea life due to "human-caused" activity within and neighboring our oceans.

The film Finding Nemo educated us about the ocean, and specifically within the ordinary world of a clown fish. A fact many may not know is that clown fish spend the first part of their lives as larvae (幼虫),moving slowly with the current of the ocean until they become strong enough to swim against it. Once they are powerful and strong, they head home in sheltered coral reefs. There is only one drawback—the fish can't physically see the reef, but they can hear it. The only problem is, if they can't hear it, will they ever make it home?

Our ocean noise, such as cargo ships, ship and boat propellers (螺旋桨),surfing, deep sea mining, etc. are causing destruction of sea life. Some researches found that sound is the sensory signal that travels the farthest through the ocean. The ocean noise drowns out the natural soundscapes, putting sea life under great stress. Altogether, this stress then affects their general health, disturb their behavior, reproduction and, in extreme cases causes death. Marine life can adapt to noise pollution, however, only if they can escape it This only causes further complications of straying (使偏离) species from their traditional breeding regions or separating them from their families.

Now, what if we told you there is already a solution? Multiple ways, ideas and designs are currently in the works or already exist to remove the damage of the ocean noise. As the previous research explains, from wind-powered ships to noise-reducing propellers, a great many solutions are already available and in some cases, cost-effective. The authors of the paper hope it will catch the attention form the society.

（1） What does the underlined word "Anthropogentic" probably mean?

A . Produced by nature. B . Caused by ocean lives. C . Related to human beings. D . Made by underwater activities.
（2） The author mentioned the clown fish in paragraph 2 is to__________?

A . educate us to protect sea-life B . introduce the film Finding Nemo C . illustrate the harmful effect of ocean noise D . show how terrible their living conditions are
（3） Which of the following solutions is already available according to paragraph 4?

A . The noise control techniques. B . The attention from the society. C . The application of relevant laws. D . The restriction of human activities.
（4） What's the tone of the passage?

A . Narrative and serious. B . Persuasive and critical. C . Descriptive and positive. D . Informative and objective.

It is hard to say the first day of school in the United States because when the first day of school is and what happens on the first day of school usually are different by districts(地区).

The first day of school for many school districts in different states is on the day after the first Monday in September. In some other school districts, school begins in mid-to-late August. For example, the Denver, Colorado schools go back in mid-August and schools in Cleveland, Ohio start back usually one week before the first Monday in September. The Boston, Chicago, New York City and San Diego schools start back on the Tuesday or Wednesday after the first Monday in September.

Schools in Cleveland, Ohio used to start the school year on the day after the first Monday in September, but in the 1976-1977 and 1977-1978 academic years, the school year was affected by several bad snowstorms, extreme cold. In the 1978-1979 school year, the Ohio Department of Education moved the start of the year to late August, one week before the first Monday in September. This went into effect in the 1980-1981 school year.

In most school districts in Utah, the school year starts between August 25 and August 30, and goes until the last week of May or the first week in June next year.

In American high schools, the freshmen class usually goes back one or two days before the rest of the school body for an orientation(迎新)period. An orientation period helps the freshmen get familiar with their new school, its rules, and surroundings.

In some schools, the freshmen classes have their photographs taken for identification purposes. Some high schools have tried to make the first week of school fun for incoming freshmen.

（1） According to the passage, which schools start their school year the earliest?

How could we possibly think that keeping animals in cages in unnatural environments, mostly for entertainment purposes, is fair and respectful?

Zoo officials say they are concerned about animals. However, most zoos remain “collections” of interesting “things” rather than protective habitats. Zoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals bored, lonely, and far from their natural homes.

Zoos claim to educate people and save endangered species, but visitors leave zoos without having learned anything meaningful about the animals' natural behavior, intelligence, or beauty. Zoos keep animals in small spaces or cages, and most signs only mention the species' name, diet, and natural range. The animals' normal behavior is seldom noticed because zoos don't usually take care of the animals' natural needs.

The animals are kept together in small spaces, with no privacy and little opportunity for mental and physical exercise. This results in unusually and self-destructive behavior called zoo-chosis(圈禁性精神病). A worldwide study of zoos found that zoochosis is common among animals kept in small spaces or cages. Another study showed that elephants spend 22 percent of their time making repeated head movements or biting cage bars, and bears spend 30 percent of their time walking back and forth, a sign of unhappiness and pain.

Furthermore, most animals in zoos are not endangered. Captive breeding(圈养繁殖) of endangered big cats, Asian elephants, and other species has not resulted in their being sent back to the wild. Zoos talk a lot about their captive breeding programs because they do not want people to worry about a species dying out. In fact, baby animals also attract a lot of paying customers. Haven't we seen enough competitions to name baby animals?

Actually, we will save endangered species only if we save their habitats and put an end to the reasons people kill them. Instead of supporting zoos, we should support groups that work to protect animals' natural habitats.

（1） How would the author describe the animals' life in zoos?

A . Easy B . Unhealthy C . Unhappy D . Dangerous.
（2） In the state of zoochosis, animals usually_________.

A . remain in cages B . behave strangely C . attack other animals D . enjoy moving around
（3） What point of view does the author hold according to the text?

A . Zoos are not worth the public support. B . Zoos fail in their attempt to save animals. C . Zoos should treat animals as human beings. D . Zoos use animals as a means of entertainment.
（4） What can we infer from the text?

A . It's acceptable to keep animals away from their habitats B . Visitors can learn a lot about animals after visiting the zoo C . Zoos often pay much attention to the animals' natural lifestyle D . Zoos can earn some money from their captive breeding programs

Birds don't need lessons in building nests. Fish don't need coaching to learn how to swim. All animals have instincts. They're born with natural abilities to do certain things. Wild animals also learn by copying their parents and practicing. And pets learn through training.

But instincts and training aren't the only keys to animals' behavior. Scientists say animals' thoughts and feelings also influence their actions. Animals often make choices, plans, and sensible changes. They can help others and solve problems. Some even make and use tools!

If animals could talk, what would they say about their thoughts and feelings? A gorilla (大猩猩) born in captivity (关在笼子里) has helped answer that question. Koko, a gorilla, was taught to use sign language. She has learned hundreds of words!

Koko once had a pet cat she named All Ball. "Koko love Ball," she signed. "Soft good cat." One time, she blamed the cat for biting her by signing "You bad dirty toilet!" When her pet died, Koko cried. "Sad for sleeping cat," she signed.

Koko calls herself "fine animal gorilla". She uses sign language to argue, joke, and ask and answer questions.

"Most animals can't use words to tell us their thoughts," says Dr. Jonathan Balcombe. "But Koko shows us that animals have their own ideas and feelings." Dr. Balcombe is a scientist at the Humane Society of the United States. He says there's even more to discover about animals through field studies. In field studies, people watch animals in their natural environment.

"Scientists who study animals' natural behaviors learn how animals live and think," Balcombe says. "That knowledge can help others respect every animal who shares the planet with us."

（1） The underlined word "instincts" in Paragraph 1 probably refers to the ability that ________.

A . animals copy their parents B . animals learn by practicing C . animals are born with D . animals learn through training
（2） The example of Koko shows that ________.

A . an animal likes to have its own pet B . an animal can learn to speak through training C . an animal has the natural ability to speak D . an animal can speak its mind
（3） According to Balcombe, learning how animals live and think can ________.

A . help people care for animals B . teach animals to use words C . train animals to use tools D . train animals to be cleverer
（4） What might be the best title for the passage?

A . Raising animals as pets B . Understanding animals C . Training animals to speak D . Protecting animals from danger

Success is often measured by the ability to overcome adversity. But, it is often the belief of others that gives us the courage to try.

J. K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter book series，began writing at the age of 6. In her biography, she remembers with great fondness when her good friend Sean, whom she met in secondary school, became the first person to encourage her and help build the confidence that one day she would be a very good writer.

“He was the first person with whom I really discussed my serious ambition to be a writer. He was also the only person who thought I could be a success at it, which meant much more to me than I ever told him at the time.”

She continued writing for many years in spite of difficulty. However, it wasn't until 1990 that she first thought of Harry Potter. As she recalls，it was on a long train journey from London to Manchester that the idea of Harry Potter simply fell into her head. “To my disappointment, I didn't have a functioning pen with me, and I was too shy to ask anybody if I could borrow one.”

That same year, her mother passed away after a ten-year battle with cancer, which deeply affected her writing. She went on to marry and had a daughter, but separated from her husband shortly afterwards.

During this time, Rowling was in poor condition. Unemployed, she completed her first novel in area cafes, where she could get her daughter to fall asleep. After being rejected by 12 publishing houses, the first Harry Potter novel was sold to a small British publishing house.

Now with seven books that have sold nearly 400 million copies in 64 languages, J. K. Rowling is the highest earning novelist in history. And it all began with her dream of writing that was inspired by the confidence of a friend!

32. Rowling first came up with the idea about Harry Potter________.

A. at the age of 6　　　　　　　 B. on a train journey

C. after her mother’s death D. in her secondary school

33.It can be concluded from Paragraph 5 and 6 that Rowling is________.

34. She felt disappointed on the train because_______.

A. the train journey was too long B. she didn’t have a pen with her

C. her mind suddenly went blank D. no one would offer her help

35.The text mainly tells us________.

A. the broken marriage makes a good novelist

B. the courage to have a try is a special ability

C. a wonderful idea can come up everywhere

D. encouragement contributes to one’s success

Many of us have read the story of The Little Mermaid by Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen. And now, a goldfish is ready to pull at our hearts in Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea. It is the latest, and reportedly (33) __________ last production by Japan’s famous animator（漫画家）Hayao Miyazaki. The film became a hit after it (34) __________ (show) at the Venice Film Festival last week.

(35) __________ (base) on the famous story, the film takes place in a modern Japanese setting. It is a story of childhood love and adventure.

The film also tells of how five-year-old Sosuke manages to keep his promise. The final message is about love (38) __________ lasts forever and acceptance.

In Ponyo, Miyazaki didn’t use computer graphics（制图）but instead returns to pencil and crayon(蜡笔). He said that (39) __________ digital techniques are useful, they have at times become too much.

“A little boy and a little girl, love and responsibility, the ocean and life are shown in the most basic way in Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea. This is my response (40) __________ the difficulties and uncertainties of our times,” said Miyazaki.

Many people are quick to say that television has little, or no, educational value. It is true there are lots of programs that are completely worthless — take Big Brother for example. However, some television programs can improve our knowledge of certain things. Here are some of my favorite shows:

Blue Peter: It is the longest-running children's TV show in the world, although it has fallen out of date recently. Children would often learn about different countries around the world. For example, one presenter (主持人) went to the Amazon rainforest in South America!

The Great British Bake Off: This show is all about making cakes, biscuits and pies. The purpose is to find Britain' s best amateur (业余的) baker. You can watch the show to get some new baking ideas.

Frozen Planet: David Attenborough has produced many films about wildlife. This one is about life in the most northern and southern parts of the world: polar bears, seals, penguins, moose and many more animals. I love this show mainly because it teaches us about the influence we have on the planet and what we need to do to save these places.

Pointless: This is a general knowledge quiz (问答比赛) show. Each round will provide a different category (e.g. sport, music, films) and a question will be given, for example "Which teams have won the World Cup?" Before the show, 100 people will have been asked the Same question. Contestants (竞赛者) then have to think of an answer which none of the 100people thought of.

21. According to the text, Blue Peter .

A. is not so popular as it used to be

B. is mainly about the Amazon rainforest

C. was produced by David Attenborough

D. is very hard for children to understand

22. Frozen Planet may interest those who like .

A. South America B. sport and films C. foreign food D. wild animals

23. To win in Pointless, you have to .

A. answer 100 questions B. watch TV every day

C. find a new answer D. be a music lover

24. The author wrote the text mainly to .

A. encourage Children to join a quiz show B. introduce four educational TV programs

C. show that TV has little educational value D. discuss whether children should watch TV

Chinese students have tended to come to the UK at a younger age in recent years, which means they come to Britain not only for higher education, but also for high school or even primary school. Asian investors（投资者） have followed this trend, and started to buy independent schools to serve this demand.

An article carried by the Times of London on October 17 reported that last year Chinese-owned company Achieve Education bought Chase Grammar, a boarding and day school in Cannock, Staffordshire. Chase Grammar includes a program that offers extra support for pupils from China. “ This trend is very good and I am not at all surprised,” Barnaby Lenon, chairman of the Independent Schools Council, told the Global Times, adding that Chinese people like the English education system. “ We welcome Chinese investors in British private education.” “Chase Grammar School is small, and the classes are small. It gives the school a family atmosphere,” Jackie Medhurst, principal of Chase Grammar School, said in a welcome note on the school’s website.

Small class sizes, personal care, good exam result, and entry to world famous universities are features that are most attractive to Chinese students. But many parents are also worried that foreign investors might expand the proportion of international students, and that might undermine the British tradition.

It seems that Chase Grammar does not intend to hide their attempts to attract Chinese families. It has set up a China office in Shanghai to facilitate Chinese parents’ communication with the school. Tong Zhou, a director of Chase Grammar, told the media that the school does not intent to change the ratio of local students and international students.

　　Some international branches of British boarding schools are very popular in Asia. In recent years, the Chinese passion for the British boarding school system has led some of the best-known schools such as Harrow and Wellington to set up satellite schools in Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong. And the trend continues.

　 It seems that the rising wealthy class in Asia is not satisfied with international branches in their own countries. They want to send their kids to the original British boarding schools to be surrounded by English people and immersed in the British culture. To support their children studying in the UK, Chinese parents are buying houses in Britain. According to a survey by UK Property Weekly, houses near universities and outstanding primary and secondary schools are the most preferable location for Chinese buyers.

Compared to the independent school system, universities are more open. It is reported that China remains the leading source of international students for London.

61. Which of the following can we know from Barnaby Lenon’s words?

A. He was surprised at the present current trend.

B. English universities are better than those in China.

C. The English education system is welcomed by the Chinese.

D. There will be fewer investors in private education.

62. Which of the following is NOT among the attractions of the British schools?

A. The small size of classes.

B. The entry to world-famous universities.

C. Good exam results.

D. Good living conditions.

63. The underlined word “ undermine” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to “______”.

A. weaken B. strengthen C. follow D. overcome

64. Chinese parents are buying houses in order to ______.

A. invest more money

B. support their children’s education

C. show off their ability

D. compete with other parents
