19.Modern zoos are different from those built fifty years ago.At that time zoos were places where people could go to see animals from many parts of the world.The animals lived in cages with iron bars.Although the zoo keepers took good care of them,many of the animals did not feel comfortable,and they often fell ill.
In modern zoos,people can see animals in more natural conditions.The animals are given more freedom in larger places so that they can live as they would in nature.Even the appearance of zoos has changed.Trees and grass grow in cages,and water flows through the places the animals live in.There are few bars; instead,there is often a deep ditch,filled with water,which surrounds a space where several sorts of animals live together as they would naturally.In an American zoo,the visitor can walk through a huge special cage that is filled with trees,some small animals and many birds,and large enough for the birds to live naturally.In a zoo in New York,with the use of special night light,people can observe certain animals that are active only at night,when most zoos are closed.Some zoos have special places for visitors to watch animals that live in the desert or under water.
Modern zoos not only show animals to visitors,but also keep and save rare animals.For this reason,fifty years from now,the grandchildren of today's visitors will be able to enjoy watching these animals.

56.Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?D
A.American Zoos.       B.Wild Animals.
C.Protecting Animals.  D.Modern Zoos.
57.In modern zoos,A.
A.animals have more freedom
B.animals are no longer taken good care of
C.different kinds of animals are kept separately
D.visitors can walk wherever they like
58.The biggest difference between modern zoos and zoos in the past isC.
A.modern zoos are larger
B.modern zoos have more animals
C.modern zoos provide natural living conditions for animals
D.modern zoos do not have keepers
59.We can infer from the passage thatD.
A.a zoo in Now York is only open at night.
B.Americans spent more money in building zoos 50years ago
C.zoos fifty years later will be different from what they are today
D.modern zoos play an important part in protecting rare animals.

17.When I was a little girl,my mom would say,"Half the fun of doing anyth1ng is sharing it with others".(71)BFriends and mates allow us to enjoy our successes and our joys,comfort us in our hard moments,and provide a mirror for us to learn more about ourselves.I've always looked at friends as the family we choose.They enrich our lives.As Robert Louis Steven once said,"(72)E"
To be a good friend or partner,it's important to be a good lis1ener.Hear what your friend or mate has to say first rather than jump to conclusions or get defensive.(73)DWhen they hear their words repeated back to them,it can help them to realize what they said was not exactly,what they meant to say.

Take care,though,with whom you choose to have close relationship,for they can have a great effect on your self-respect and life path.As someone once told me"(75)FThey will either take you up or down."

4.Children's lives have changed greatly over the last 50years.But do they have a happier childhood than you or I did?
It's difficult to look back on one's own childhood without some element of nostalgia(怀旧的).I have four brothers and sisters,and my memories are all about being with them,playing board games on the living room floor,or spending days in the street with the other neighborhood children,racing up and down on our bikes,or exploring the nearby woods.My parents scarcely appear in these memories,except as providers either of meals or of severe blame after some particularly risky adventure.
These days,in the UK at least,the nature of childhood has changed dramatically.Firstly,families are smaller,and there are far more only children.It is common for both parents to work outside the home and there is the feeling that there just isn't time to bring up a large family,or that no one could possibly afford to have more than one child.As a result,today's boys and girls spend much of their time alone.Another major change is that youngsters today tend to spend a huge amount of their free time at home,inside.More than anything this is due to the fact that parents worry far more than they used to about real or imagined dangers,so they wouldn't dream of letting their children play outside by themselves.
Finally,the kind of toys children have and the way they play is totally different.Computer and video games have replaced the board games and more interesting activities of my childhood.The irony(令人啼笑皆非的事情) is that so many ways of playing games are called"interactive".The fact that you can play electronic games on your own further increases the sense of loneliness felt by many young people today.
Do these changes mean that children today have a less relaxing childhood than I had?I personally believe that they do,but perhaps every generation feels exactly the same.
25.What is the purpose of the direct question given in the first paragraph?C
A.To show who the passage is written for.
B.To gather people's opinions on childhood.
C.To get people's attention and lead in the topic.
D.To compare the childhood lives of two generations.
26.Which is NOT a reason for the changes?B
A.Families are smaller today.
B.It's too dangerous to play outside.
C.Toys can be played by children alone at home.
D.Parents worried too much about their children.
27.What has the writer focused on in the fourth paragraph?C
A.Young people today shouldn't play electronic games.
B.Computer and video games have replaced the board games.
C.Some games that young people play today aren't really good.
D.Board games are much more interesting than computer games.
28.The writer's attitude towards the childhood changing isB.
A.approvingB.objectiveC.unconcernedD.optimistic.
