【题目】DOGS DRIVE CAR
Auckland, New Zealand
After two months of learning, Monty, and Porter were able to drive an automobile around a racetrack. “We wanted to prove how smart rescue dogs are,”animal behaviorist Mark Vette says. Vette first used voice commands and treats to teach the dogs how to turn a steering wheel and how to change gear (换挡).
The dogs’ ride only accelerated up to 7.5 miles an hour, and trainers could stop the auto using a remote control.
GOLDEN ZEBRA
Kailua-Kona, Hawaii
Zoe the zebra’s markings are special. The animal has white and golden stripes. Zoe’s appearance resulted from a rare condition called amelanosis (黑素缺失症). Her body doesn’t make enough melanin, the substance in an animal’s skin and hair cells that produces color. “Only 25 other golden zebras are known to exist in the world,” says Ann Goody, who runs the wildlife refuge where Zoe lives. In the wild, life may be difficult for animals with amelanosis because predators (捕猎者) can easily spot them. But Zoe is protected at her refuge.
COCKATOO MAKES TOOLS
Vienna, Austria
When Figaro the cockatoo spots food lying just out of reach from his cage, he builds a tiny wooden tool to sweep the tasty prize in his way.
The bird first revealed his talent when a stone he was playing with rolled out of his cage. The cockatoo couldn’t reach the stone. So he flew away and returned with a small branch, slipping it through the fence to slide the stone toward him.
Wondering if he would do it again, scientists placed a nut exactly where the stone had been. This time, Figaro pulled out a small piece of wood in his cage and dragged the nut toward him.
【1】If Zoe the zebra is set free in the wild, she will ________.
A. meet no natural predators
B. not get along with other zebras
C. manage to make enough melanin
D. be easily found for her appearance
【2】What’s special about Figaro the cockatoo?
A. He is particular about his food.
B. He is extremely fond of stones.
C. He is good at drawing support from outside forces.
D. He can tell the difference between stones and nuts.
【3】What is the text mainly about?
A. Amazing animals.
B. Ways to help animals.
C. Animals’ unique talents.
D. Tips on training animals.
【答案】
【1】D
【2】C
【3】A

The British have many traditions but there is nothing more typical than taking afternoon tea. We know the Brits have a love affair with drinking tea, with more than 160 million cups 【1】 (drink) every day, but it was the invention of afternoon tea that turned tea-drink into 【2】 popular pastime.
This sociable feast involves drinking good quality tea 【3】 (comfort) while nibbling (小口吃) on nice sandwiches, scones with jam and cream and a selection of small cakes. And, of course, it can only happen in the afternoon! Afternoon tea, which 【4】 (design) as a light snack to bridge the gap between lunch and dinner, dates back to the 1840s. It went on to become a 【5】 (fashion) social occasion for the upper classes.
Now there is a resurgence (复苏) in its 【6】 (popular) in the UK and it is available to anyone who can afford it. 【7】 it can be enjoyed at home, the best way to experience it is at a smart hotel or café. But if you’re thinking of visiting such a place 【8】 (enjoy) afternoon tea, remember the rules you must follow to avoid 【9】 (ask) to leave.
Writer Henry James once noted that “there are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony 【10】 (know) as afternoon tea.” I’m sure once you have tried it, you will agree.

【题目】Sandra Bullock turned 51 last month. But because she looks exactly the same as she did in Miss Congeniality, a movie filmed back in the 20th century, everyone calls her “ageless.” Bullock is just one of a number of stars in their 40s and 50s who’ve had birthdays recently but have not gotten older, unlike the rest of us in their age group. Take Halle Berry. One website put a photo of her 20 years ago next to one of the newly 49-year-old Berry and dared us to choose which was which. “This Is What 49 Looks Like,” it said. Seriously, if that’s what 49 looks like, I must be 71.
However, even a generation ago, famous faces evolved. Look at a picture of Grace Kelly at age 52 in the early 1980s. She looks like a beautiful middle-aged woman. Today she’d look old for her age.
The goal now is to prevent aging while you are still young, using all the magical nonsurgical options medicine has to offer. Eventually these techniques will become less expensive, and ordinary people my daughter’s age will have them. Already anti-aging is starting to be considered maintenance, like coloring your hair. My friends and I find ourselves openly debating techniques that we used to make fun of. Does fat-freezing work? How much time do you have to spend in the gym to keep the body of a 35-year-old after 50? It’s all so exhausting. But members of the next generation have it tougher. They’ll have to ask themselves whether they want to spend their youth trying not to get old. I’ve already seen “Sexy at 70” headlines. Will everyone be expected to go to their graves(坟墓) looking hot?
I also have to wonder what else we are slowing along with age. How do you move on if you’re working so hard to stay the same? And besides, if you’ve known the ache of watching a daughter pack up for college, you know you can’t stop the clock.
【1】In the author’s eyes, Sandra Bullock ________.
A. doesn’t deserve her name
B. doesn’t look her age at all
C. behaves like a young woman
D. looks younger than Halle Berry
【2】The example of Grace Kelly is given to show ________.
A. physical beauty never lasts long
B. there is no such thing as agelessness
C. people’s attitude towards aging has changed
D. stars pay too much attention to their appearance
【3】Where do the author’s concerns about anti-aging techniques lie?
A. They expose people to danger.
B. They make people feel stressful
C. They are too expensive for ordinary.
D. They encourage comparisons among people.
【4】What’s the purpose of the text?
A. To show the burden of youth.
B. To offer tips on how to look hot.
C. To advise people to accept aging.
D. To comment on some famous stars.
