1. A詞義猜測(cè)題。由題目中的關(guān)鍵詞tiny ,定位于第一段第三句。根據(jù)句中from . . . to...的意思是"從…到…"，giant Polar Bears的意思是"巨大的北極熊"，與之對(duì)應(yīng)的the tiny leafcutter ants的意思是"小的切葉蟻"，可知tiny的意思是"小的"，相當(dāng)于small。

2. B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由題目中的關(guān)鍵詞visit the zoo on Friday in April,定位于Opening hours部分。根據(jù)March 31〜May 27所包含的動(dòng)物園的開放時(shí)間信息可知，史密斯先生在四月的星期五去參觀動(dòng)物園，應(yīng)該在上午11:30.

3. C數(shù)字計(jì)算題。由題目中的關(guān)鍵詞Mr Green will visit the zoo with his wife and his 11-year-old daughter,定位于Tickets部分。根據(jù)Tickets所顯示的信息可知，成人票價(jià)是12美元，11歲的孩子的票價(jià)是7美元，因此，需支付2×12 + 7 = 31美元。

4. D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由題目中的關(guān)鍵詞NOT true, 定位于Children under 3, free,兩歲的吉姆可以免費(fèi)參觀動(dòng)物園。根據(jù)第一段最后一句可知，棲息地的' 設(shè)計(jì)是為了重建動(dòng)物的自然環(huán)境，排除A;根據(jù)May 28~September 3包含的信息可知，我們可以在勞動(dòng)節(jié)的下午五點(diǎn)鐘參觀動(dòng)物園，排除B;根據(jù)第一段第三句可知,我們可以在動(dòng)物園發(fā)現(xiàn)130多種不同的物種，排除C。

5. A推理判斷題。文章主要是對(duì)動(dòng)物園的介紹，屬于廣告類。

 A wise man was visiting a village with his students. He found a group of family members shouting in anger at each other. He turned to his students and asked, "Why do people shout in anger at each other?"

  His students thought for a while,and one of them said, "Because when we lose our calm,we shout."

  "But why should you shout when the other person is just next to you? You may just tell him what you have to say in a soft manner as well," said the wise man.

  Students gave some other answers but none was any good.

  "When two people are angry with each other,their hearts become distant," the wise man explained. "To cover that distance they must shout to be heard by each other. The angrier they are,the louder they will have to shout at each other and cover that great distance."

  The wise man then gave an example, "What will happen when two people fall in love? They don't shout at each other but talk softly because their hearts are very close. When they love each other even more,what will happen? They don't need to talk. They only look at each other and that's all. That is how close two people are when they love each other."

  He looked at his students and said, "So when you argue,do not let your hearts get distant. Do not say words that distance you from others. Otherwise,there will come a day when the distance is so great that you will not find the path to return."

Another researcher reports that by spending time with their preschool children,fathers can help to develop children's language ability. Researchers also point out that for schoolaged children,fathers are one bridge to the outside world.

  Fathers who value education make children do better at school. What's more,fathers who spend much time with their children may give their children happy memories which may last for a lifetime.

  While each father is a unique person who educates children in his own style,good fathers have something in common.

On the other hand,some people believe that holding a high position in the government is happiness. In this way,you have not only money,but also many other things which can't be bought by money. However,other people believe that having lots of money is not happiness,nor is holding a high position in the government. These people value (重視) their beliefs,or their intelligence,or their health.

People who have close friends usually enjoy happier and healthier lives.

The second secret of happiness is to be active. Many people go dancing or play sports. People can forget their problems and only think about the activities.

Finally,many people find happiness in helping others. According to studies,people feel good when they volunteer their time to do many meaningful things for other people. If you want to feel happier,do something nice for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies,go shopping to get food for an old neighbor,or simply help around the house.
