    More Than a Zoo

    　　Popcorn Park is not like most zoos．It is a very special place．Workers at the zoo care for hurt or sick animals．They return some of these animals to their natural homes．Those animals that cannot live on their own stay at Popcorn Park Zoo．

    　　At first this unusual place was not a zoo．It was called the Forked River Animal Care Center．The workers there took care of lost or unwanted cats and dogs．

    　　The change to the center began in 1977 when a raccoon needed help．The workers cared for the animal．Finally it was better, but it could not care for itself．The raccoon was allowed to live at the center．

    　　Once people heard about the wonderful work being done at the center, they began taking all kinds of hurt or homeless animals there．Soon the center was no longer just a home for cats and dogs．So many animals were living at the center that it became more like a zoo．It was time for a new name．

    　　Popcorn Park Zoo got its funny name because many of the animals there like to eat popcorn(爆米花)made without oil or salt．Also the popcorn is sold at the zoo to help make money to care for the animals．People buy the popcorn to feed the animals as a treat．

    　　Popcorn Park Zoo now takes care of more than 200 kinds of animals．All the animals at the zoo get lots of care and love．

    　　The willful blindness in hockey toward concussions(头部撞击)has dropped．Hockey Canada has followed the lead of USA Hockey in preventing bodychecking(身体拦截)below age 13．A bad head injury of Sidney Crosby, the hockey's greatest star, opened the eyes of hockey people everywhere．This country's children have been facing similar danger at early ages, and Hockey Canada had to deal with a deep worry in the minds of Canadians to make the rule change．The liking for bodychecking from an early age is part of what makes Canadian hockey what it is．

    　　The change in rules should be taken as a chance to draw special attention to skill development in an environment free of danger．It may also control the loss of thousands of young players who don't enjoy that environment．

    　　For years, many Canadian hockey parents and coaches have insisted that bodychecking at early ages is necessary to ensure that players can do it safely at older ages．True or not, there may be a safer way to teach hitting than to make younger players pay a price for it in head injuries．When USA Hockey changed its rules for the 2011-2012 season, it also created bodychecking-education programs that will be mandatory(强制的)for all coaches, including those teaching players in the pre-checking ages．And it began to encourage more "touch"-without real bodychecking-from 9 t0 12．It also made the rules for 13 and up stricter．The USA is trying to show that it's possible to teach hockey protective skills without putting11 and 12-year-olds in greater danger．It's worth the try．

    　　Hockey Canada has taken serious steps to do away with hits on the head．However, it's hard to change a sports culture so connected with who we are as a country．Too often, bodychecking has been used to try to separate a player from his head rather than from the ball．Children were paying a price for this country's love of the game．

    　　There are always changes in Canada's game, and the change in the bodychecking age sends the clearest message yet to coaches and parents that player safety is paramount(至上的)in the game．

    (1)

    We can tell that the problem of bodychecking in Canada ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    is controlled strictly

    B．

    is taken more seriously now

    C．

    is caused by players' carelessness

    D．

    is connected with players' interest

    (2)

    What does the writer want to tell us in Paragraph 2?

    [　　]

    A．

    The safe ways of controlling the loss．

    B．

    The steps of drawing special attention．

    C．

    The possible results of changing the rules．

    D．

    The methods of improving the environment．

    (3)

    What can we learn from the passage?

    [　　]

    A．

    The USA found a safer way to teach bodychecking．

    B．

    Bodychecking-education programs in the USA are successful．

    C．

    Bodychecking is a good way to value players' skills in the USA．

    D．

    The USA has tried to create an environment of less bodychecking．

    (4)

    What is probably the best title' for this passage?

    [　　]

    A．

    Which is more important?

    B．

    How do we change the rules?

    C．

    Why is hockey a dangerous game?

    D．

    When should bodychecking be prevented?

    根据短文内容，选出最佳选项回答问题。
    　　The Earth has warmed by about half a degree (0.5 ℃) over the last 100
    years. It could be getting warmer on its own, but many scientists think that people
    are making the Earth warmer by making a greenhouse effect  (湿室效应).The
    greenhouse effect is important. Without it, the Earth would not be warm enough
    for us to live on. But just a little warmer than it is now could cause problems for
    humans, plants and animals.
    　　Many of the things we do every day can change the  Earth's temperature by
    sending greenhouse gases (废气)into  the air. We send greenhouse gases into the
    air when we watch TV, turn on lights, dry hair, play video games, wash or dry
    our clothes or drive cars. The rubbish (waste) from factories and homes also
    produces greenhouse gases.
    　　Even a small change in temperature can affect (影响)our weather. This can
    cause changes in the sea levels, the air, flooding and our fresh water.
    　　The change in the temperature can also cause changes in the living places
    for animals and plants, endangering many animals.
    　　Global warming (全球变暖)is a big problem, and every  little bit we do
    can help. We can save electricity. We can save energy in other ways such as by
    taking buses or walking rather than driving cars. We can recycle to reduce the
    rubbish and save natural resources such as trees, oil and metals. We can buy
    products that don't do bad to the environment and we can turn to solar energy.
    Remember the little bit that you do will bring a better world.
    1. Which of the following does not send greenhouse gases into the air?
    A. Turning on a light.      
    B. Walking to school.
    C. Driving a car.          
    D. Watching TV.
    2. In this passage, the scientists are mainly trying to make the readers
    realize _____.
    A. the earth could be getting warmer by itself
    B. the earth is getting warmer in 100 years
    C. the greenhouse effect is important
    D. humans are making the earth warmer
    3. Without the greenhouse effect, we would _____.
    A. not be able to live      
    B. be safer
    C. have a cleaner earth    
    D. have a better world
    4. The writer gives us advice on how to save energy in _____.
    A. Paragraph 2              
    B. Paragraph 3
    C. Paragraph 4              
    D. Paragraph 5
    5. Global warming is a big problem but _____.
    A. we can't do anything to help
    B. we don't need to do anything
    C. we can do something to help
    D. we can do something to stop it

    Close contacts between Japan and the rest of the world were created in the twentieth century. In the last forty years, business contacts between Japan and the West have become very important. Many foreign companies now have offices in Japan and Japanese businessmen do business around the world. Differences between Japanese and Western ways of doing business, however, often bewilder foreign businessmen and make doing business in Japan difficult for foreigners.

    　　The American businessman, for example, wants to start talking business immediately. He does not want to wait. The Japanese businessman， on the other hand， likes to arrive at decisions after giving them serious thought. Another thing foreign businessmen have difficulty in understanding is when a Japanese means “Yes” or “No”. This is because of cultural differences between Japanese and Western society(社会)， Which make it difficult for a Japanese to say “No” directly.

    In the USA， it is easy to say “No” to something one does not want to do. But in Japan， it is very difficult to say “No”. To refuse an invitation or a request(请求) with “No” is felt to be impolite. It is thought to be selfish and unfriendly. So instead of saying “No” directly， the Japanese have developed many ways to avoid(避免) saying “No”. These can help them avoid hurting other people’s feelings. However， this often makes their ways of doing business rather difficult for foreigners to understand and follow.

    1.What often makes foreigners feel difficult to do business in Japan?

    A. Their different ways of doing business.

    B. Their different lifestyles.

    C. The fact that the Japanese never say “No”.

    D. The fact that the Japanese are slow to take action.

    2. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined expression “bewilder foreign businessmen” in Paragraph One?

    A. cause foreign businessmen to change their minds.

    B. give a feeling of surprise to foreign businessmen.

    C. attract foreign businessmen’s attention.

    D. make foreign businessmen think wrongly.

    3.What fact does the passage lead you to believe?

    A. American businessmen do things more slowly than Japanese ones.

    B. American businessmen like to say “Yes” and “No”.

    C. Americans usually say what they are thinking.

    D. Americans do not say what they think or feel clearly.

    4.From the passage we can infer(推断) that __________.

    A. Japanese businessmen are good at business

    B. foreign businessmen should try to know Japanese ways of doing business

    C. foreign businessmen must be more polite

    D. you must learn from Japanese businessmen if you want to succeed
