　　One look at a big male lion, with its beautiful hair and proud walk, and it is easy to understand why lions are called the “king of beasts”．Their strength and beauty have interested people for ages．Lions occur in the stories of almost all cultures－even in parts of the world where there have never been lions．In some parts of Africa, poorly armed tribes men once killed lions to gain their strength．Lions are certainly among the most admired animals on earth．

　　Female lions work together when hunting．The team divides into two groups．One group silently circles around to get ahead of the prey．When the first group is in position, the second group shows itself and purposely frightens the prey．The frightened prey runs right into the first group of lions．Most lions can cover 35 feet through the air in a single jump, and they use their sharp claws and teeth to seize frightened animals．A lion is so strong it can easily knock down and hold down the prey that is three times bigger than itself．When they can, lions get food by taking it away from other animals．

　　Lions are meat eaters．They prefer larger prey because larger prey provides more unaveailable meat．More often, lions hunt animals of a large size．If their regular prey is unavailable, they will eat hares or tortoises．A starving lion will eat almost anything it can find including snake, insects, fruit, sometimes even wood．

　　Lion babies need lots of loving care．At birth, babies are blind, can only crawl, and weigh less than five pounds．For the first few weeks, the babies stay hidden away from the pride．Then their mother brings them out to join the “family”．A male lion will show amazing love toward the babies, even allowing them to pull his hair．Like cats, lion babies jump to anything that moves, and in this way practice hunting skills．When the mother is away hunting, other lions feed and watch over her young．

　　Lions are found today in only a few parts of the world．They live in small areas of Africa and in a very small section of India．In the past, lions lived almost all over the world on every continent except Antarctica and Australia．African lions are now ?endangered?．This is because people are taking away their homes．The human population in Africa is growing so rapidly that it is necessary to turn more and more of the lion’s homes into farms．This means lions have less food to eat, and makes their survival more difficult．

(1)

Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?

[　　]

A．

How they hunt．

B．

What they eat．

C．

How they are brought up．

D．

Why lions mainly live in Africa．

It's time to remind myself what I love about life here in California,USA, to remember what I desperately miss when I go home.

Real radio

In the USA there are so many radio stations that those iPod tuner things don’t work at all. There is, simply, no dead air. It took me a while to discover the USA's many pub­lic radio stations, which don't broadcast any advertisements. KCRW is my favorites station, for its blend of indie music and current affairs. But I also listen to KJAZZ and KPCC. But before you feel jealous — it’s all online. My favorites: American life Snap Judgement and Henry Rollins live every Saturday night. Take listen online for free News? Well, there's not a lot of news from South Africa, and when it is, it's bad and full of fear, so I ignore it. But I care about any place I live in, and that includes the USA. And on public radio, the USA is covered in depth, from the perspective of individual stories rather than statistics.

The festivals

I’m jealously watching tweets and Facebook boasts and reviews from SXSW — seems like half the people I used to work with in South Africa are there,meeting Grumpy Cat and watching bands they’ve always wanted to see live. It’s great to know that these 1000s of festivals are so close, and that one day,if film school schedule ever allows me to leave campus for more than a few days, I can go to one or two of them. I have already ex­changed my much loved Ford Mustang for a bigger, less sexy car — a car spacious enough to sleep in — so that next year I can be there, not just dream of it.

The famous people

When I go back to SA, I'm often asked if I’ve spotted any famous people. It's awkward for me. I feel the the same way about it as I feel when an American asks me if there are lions in the streets. Except yes, I have. No,not lions. I have met some famous people. I chatted to RJ Mitte from Breaking Bad outside a dub in West Hollywood. Many of my professors are famous directors. The problem is, once you meet these famous people, they're just people, FFS. This feels disappointing at first, like you're missing a Jesus mo­ment of some sort. But if you think about it, it's inspiring. What it means, is that I, litlle me (right now, also "just a person") could be a famous just-a-person person one day, and get to make all the films I just dream of now.

1.The underlined sentence "There is,simply, no dead air." probably means____.

A. there is no useless radio programmes in the USA

B. there is no useful radio programmes in the USA

C. there is no polluted air in the USA

D. there is no advertisements from the radio programmes in the USA

2.There are so many festivals that_____.

A. I often leave campus for more than few days

B. I often attend some of them in person

C. I bought a bigger Ford? Mustang

D. I can share many reviews and performances online with my friends in South Africa

3.The author thinks the famous people in the USA _____.

A. are just Like lions????????????? ???????????? B. are well-known but ordinary

C. are disappointing????????????? D. are inspiring

4.The author is most likely to be _____.

A. a director in America????????????? ?????????? B. a professor in South Africa

C. a student in America????????????? ???????? D. an actor in South Africa

Zoos have been around for centuries — and they’ve changed a lot over the years. In the Middle Ages, wealthy people kept animals in their gardens. Public animal parks appeared in European cities in the late 1700s and early 1800s. The Philadelphia Zoo, the first in the United States, opened in 1874.

         Until a few decades (十年) ago, most zoos were organized by creatures — monkeys in one area, cats in another, birds somewhere else, just like museum collections. In recent years, zoos have instead begun grouping animals that would normally interact (互相作用) in the wild. Moreover, instead of closing animals behind bars, designers are creating landscapes like the environments in which these creatures would naturally be found. Nearby signs provide information about the animals and their habitats in parts of the world where they normally live.

         The Denver Zoo’s new Predator Ridge exhibit, for example, aims to teach visitors about Africa. Eight acres of land provide homes for 14 animal species, including lions, porcupines, cranes, and wild dogs. Plants from the region grow alongside African-like landform. Ten-foot-tall mounds (土墩) give lions a place from which to survey their surroundings, just as they would do in the wild.

         Landscape design makes visitors to the Denver Zoo’s Predator Ridge exhibit feel like they’re really in Africa.

         Animals in Predator Ridge can’t actually be mixed with one another, for safety reasons. But hidden deep channels and other smart features allow visitors to see all the animals at once. Different species can see each other too.

1.What is the passage mainly about?

A. Protection of zoo animals.

B. Changes of zoos over the time.

C. The safety problem of zoos.

D. The living habits of zoo animals.

2.In the Denver Zoo ten-foot-tall mounds are built to _____.

A. protect the safety of visitors

B. separate lions from other animals

C. create a natural environment for lions

D. offer visitors a better view of lions

3.The underlined part “the region” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to _____.

A. Africa                         B. the Predator Ridge exhibit  

C. the Denver Zoo                D. the ten-foot-tall mounds

4.We can learn from the passage that _____.

A. the earliest zoos were probably rich people’s gardens

B. the Philadelphia Zoo is the first zoo in the world

C. the new Predator Ridge exhibit is held in Africa

D. more animals will be kept in zoos in the future

China has input several billion yuan of money to stop the dirty water waste on the upper and middle area of the Pearl River from polluting the lower reaches of the river, especially the Macao Spe­cial Administrative Region．

The Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region in the upper and middle reaches of the Pearl River has been rapidly urbanized（城市化）and industrialized in recent years, leading to a rise in the amount of urban rubbish to the damage of the land, rivers and atmosphere．

Refuse dumps and special plants in most cities treat rubbish to make it harmless, with 5,800 tons of wastes being burnt, buried or made into fertilizers on a daily basis．

He Suping, a woman engineer with the water re­sources department in Guangxi said, it is imperative for the autonomous region to treat sewage wastes to protect the area’s Karst terrain（喀斯特地形）and rain water which brings contact between groundwater and surface water, making groundwater more easily polluted．

The Xijiang River, a branch of the Pearl River which runs from Guangxi to neighboring Guangdong Province, provides fresh water for a number of river­side cities such as Macao, Zhuhai, Zhongshan and Zhaoqing, so Guangxi must begin to treat rubbish quickly to protect the water sources, said Liu Chen, a senior engineer with the Ministry of Water Resources．

The government 2001—2006 plan to spend bil­lions of yuan to turn wastes harmless has been mainly provided by national debt payments and overseas in­vestment．So far wastes treatment projects have re­ceived a total of 400 million yuan（48 million US dol­lars）from national debts and 60 million yuan（7．22 million US dollars）from overseas loans（貸款）．

         A．A large number of waterways have been polluted in China up to now．

         B．Guangxi and Guangdong have taken the lead in making water clean．

         C．China's rivers are badly in need of improve­ment．

         D．China is making efforts to reduce pollution of the rivers．

2.The main idea of the last paragraph is __

         A．The government has no ability to afford the expenses of treating wastes．

         B．The government has a long-term plan to treat wastes．

         C．National debt payments and overseas investment are taking an important part in developing China's economy．

         D．A great deal of money is needed in dealing with wastes．

3.The basic reason why the amount of urban rubbish rises in Guangxi lies in _____．

         A．the improvement of people’s living standard

         B．people’s wasting too much

         C．urbanization and industrialization

         D．too many tourists’ coming
