         Visitors were still paying 20 yuan to hug Lele and had their photos taken yesterday despite a ban that forbids
    any such contact with a wild animal. The ban was introduced more than a week ago.
         "The city zoo broke the law and should be prohibited," said an official at the State Forestry Administration. 
         The administration notice last Monday clearly bans contact with wild or captive animals, the abuse of wild
    or captive animals for performance purposes and any improper business related to wild animal products.
         "Close contact with the chimp is the only bit that breaks the ban and we will end that soon," said Beijing Zoo
    spokeswoman Ye Minxia yesterday.
         "The chimpanzee performance can't stopped overnight as we have a contract with a company scheduled to
    terminate at the end of this year," she said.
         "The zoo is negotiating with the company in the hope of terminating it sooner," Ye said. She refused to
    answer directly whether the chimp photo sessions were still ongoing yesterday, instead saying, "It's very likely
    that we will cancel it tomorrow."
         Zoo staff confirmed photos were taken yesterday, one employee saying 2-year-old Lele "works" from lo am
    t0 3 pm daily, according to "the Legal Mirror".
         Such activities not only damage the mental and physical health of the animals, but also risk the safety of
    visitors, according to the official website of the State Forestry Administration where the notice was released.
         "A pet male chimpanzee bit and attacked 55-year-old Chala Nash, causing serious injuries to her face, neck
    and hands at her friend's home in Stamford, Connecticut on February 16th last year," CNN reported. "The
    friend, Sandra Herold, called "the police, who shot 14-year-old Travis many times after he also attacked an
    officer."
         "Putting a blue T-shirt on a wild animal and training it to bare its teeth and parade for visitors might not
    enhance that already- troubled image of Chinese animal protection," the State Forestry official warned. "Some
    zoos even hit animals and promote themselves with commercials involving animal abuse," he said.
         "Too much focus on the profits too often results in improper treatment of animals, contributing to their early
    and unnatural deaths," the notice stated.
    1. Where can people most probably find the article?
    A. In research reports.
    B. In newspapers.
    C. In science fictions.
    D. In book reviews.
    2. What do we learn about Lele?
    A. It's used to make money.
    B. It is hit by the people.
    C. It attacked its owners.
    D. It died unnaturally.
    3. What would be the best title of the article?
    A. Zoos Disobey the National Ban
    B. Profit-making Zoos
    C. Animals in Danger
    D. Animal Abuse

    第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题3分，共60分）
    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
    A
    Not all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Vi­olence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive(重温) these experiences in nightmares.                       
    Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase the effect of painful memories.
    In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body re­leasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research had suggested that only the emo­tional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased.
    The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it. Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers’ troubling memories after war.
    They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories. “Some memories can ruin people’s lives. They come back to you when you don’t want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions.” said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry (精神病学) at Harvard Medical School. "This could relieve(减缓) a lot of that suffering.”
    But those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity. They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past. “All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are. I'm not sure we’d want to wipe those memories out.” said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist (伦理学家).
    Some people fear that although the drug would first be used in only very serious cases, it would be­come more and more common.“People always have the ability to misuse science,” said Joseph LeDoux, a New York University memory researcher. “All we want to do is help people have better control of memories.”
    56. The underlined word “it” in paragraph 4 refers to “_____.”
    A. the new drug                      B. the research into the drug
    C. the memory                        D. the chemical in the drug
    57. Which of the following is Not the opinion of the supporters?
    A.The pill can erase all the memories in the past.
    B.Some memories can ruin people's life. The pill can relieve emotional suffering.
    C. The pill can also help many other types of people who suffer from terrible memories.
    D. The pill can prevent or treat troubling memories in soldiers after war.
    58. Which of the following is Not the opinion of the opponents (反对者) ?
    A. Our memories give us our identity.
    B. The memories help humanity avoid mistakes of the past.
    C. The drug should be used in only very serious cases.
    D. People may not be sure whether they want to wipe the memories out.
    59. Which of the following statements might be the main idea of the text?
    A. People often suffer from bad memories.   
    B. The nightmares are terrible.
    C. Forget bad memories and be happy.
    D. The research has caused a heated argument.

         Treetops, the hotel in the trees, is famous in the world. Peop1e know little about Kenya, but they know of Treetops. When King George VI died, Princess Elizabeth was staying on the Treetops, and when she
    came down from there, "She succeeded him as the queen of the country".
         The hotel is in the middle of the forest, and it shows the pleasure of Africa. When you visit it, you will
    be sent into the heart of the forest by hotel buses, and then a guide, with a gun to protect you against big
    game, will go with you to the Treetops. Before and after dinner, for the whole night if you wish, you can sit on the corridor(走廊), watching animals come to the water pool. The earliest hotel Treetops was built
    round a large tree on the opposite side of the water, but that was destroyed by fire and the new hotel
    Treetops, which is built round several trees, is much bigger.
         The dining room at Treetops is small, and the waiters cannot walk round to serve guests, so a clever
    "railway service" has been invented. Guests take their food as it passes slowly in front of them, along a line in the center of the table.
         There are many animals around the Treetops. When you visit them, you can see:
         ---Animals and their babies are waiting to greet the guests.
         ---Animals, enjoying the Treetops pool in the daylight.
         ---A long bodied, long ring tailed very active cat-like animal is a special one coming out at night. He
    hunts and eats anything he can catch and is very destructive. He lives in the trees at Treetops. He comes
    for his food every evening. Do not get too near to him, as his teeth and claws(爪)can do you harm. These animals can be trained and become lovely pets.
    1. The underlined word "succeeded" in Paragraph 1 probably means "_________".
    A. did what she was trying to do          
    B. gained her purpose
    C. replaced someone in an important position
    D. completed an easy task

    A. It comes for food only at night.     
    B. It lives in the trees at Treetops.
    C. Its teeth and claws can do people harm.
    D. It can catch any other animal in the forest.
    4. According to the text, Treetops is famous in the world because ________.
    A. it shows the pleasure of America                                                                            
    B. Princess Elizabeth got to the crown when coming down from
         there                                                                              
    C. it is built around several trees
    D. there are many animals that can be trained and become lovely pets
    5. We can learn from the text that the guests______.
    A. should not play games on the Treetops    
    B. could not sit on the corridor at night

         The film "Avatar" has received great popularity around the world. It turned out to be a great success. The
    film got ＄1 billion in ticket sales in a very short time. The story in the film happens on an alien planet called
    Pandora where many strange species live. Among the planet's inhabitants (居民,栖息动物), the one that has
    the most similarities with humans is the Na'vi, and it is the struggle between the Na'vi and human invaders (入
    侵者) that forms the story of the film. As to the factors (因素) leading to the film's success, many think that
    the entertaining feast (盛宴) for the eyes and the wonderful story shouldn't be forgotten, but the new language
    invented especially for the film which provides audiences with a new experience also plays an important part.
          In order to increase the truthfulness of an alien race (外星人), the film's director James Cameron asked an
    expert in languages from the University of Southern California to invent a language for the Na'vi. Professor Paul Frommer combined the languages spoken among Indians, Africans and mid-Asians and worked with James
    Caneron for four years to create the Na'vi language based on the original 30 words that the director had already
    come up with.
         According to Professor Frommer, the most important characteristic of the Na'vi language is that it could be
    pronounced."This is an alien language but obviously it has to be spoken by human actors and actresses,"
    Professor Frommer told the BBC, "it has to sound natural and it should make human beings comfortable when
    using it."
         The language has a vocabulary of around 1000 words but Progessor Formmer hopes to enlarge the
    vocabulary in possible follow-ups to the film and in video games. The professor hopes that one day his
    creation will be as successful as the Klingon alien language from the"Star Trek"films."There's a translation of
    Hamlet into Klingon and it has received great popularity among the audiences," says Professor Frommer, "if
    anything like this happens to the Na'vi language, I'd be very happy."
    1. What do we know about "Avatar" from this passage?
    A. The story in it is a moving love story.
    B. It brings the producer ＄1 billion in total.
    C. The story in it happens on an alien planet.
    D. It talks about humans and aliens' friendship.
    2. The director of"Avatar" James Cameron had a language invented for the Na'vi to _____.
    A. make the film a whole mystery
    B. make the Na'vi more believable
    C. make the Na'vi different from humans
    D. make the film have specific characteristics
    3. Who first created the basic words of the Na'vi language?
    A. Paul Frommer.
    B. An Indian.
    C. James Cameron
    D. Hamlet.
    4. The important feature of the Na'vi language is that _____.
    A. it can be spoken by humans
    B. it has just 30 original words
    C. it has a vocabulary of 1000 words.
    D. it is like the Klingon alien language
    5. We can infer from the passage that _____.

    A. James Cameron will produce follow-ups to"Avatar"
    B. the Na'vi language is another kind of the Klingon language
    C. the director believes the Na'vi language will be popular
    D. Paul Frommer hopes to add new words to the Na'vi language
