The cat is an eight-year-old male, and his full name is “Ugly Bat Boy”, or “Uggs” for short. There are two things that make him look very different from most cats you have ever seen. First, he is almost completely bald (秃的). Second, where he does have fur, on his neck and chest, the fur is very long, so it looks like he has a very large beard (胡须). The hospital staff are all used to Uggs appearance. “I dont think hes ugly, no,” says Tracy Wentworth. “At first, it was like, Ooh, look at him, and then, its like, you know, very normal.” Another member of staff, Christie Hartnett, thinks Uggs is “beautiful.” “His skin is like really soft Italian leather (皮革),” she said. More people began to hear about Uggs when a visitor took a picture of him on his cellphone and then e-mailed it to friends. Now people sometimes come to the hospital just to get a picture of him. However, it is sometimes a problem when people who dont know about Uggs see him for the first time. Some visitors thought Uggs had a disease and felt very sorry for him, so the staff put up notices saying he wasnt sick, just unusual-looking. Also, if Uggs is sitting or lying down, some visitors think he is a strange statue (雕像) rather than a real cat, and are shocked when he suddenly moves!56. What is Uggs full name?A. The worlds ugliest cat.B. Ugly Bat Boy.C. Uggs.D. Ugly.57. What can we learn from the passage?A. The hospital staff refused to look after Uggs.B. Uggs has made a lot of money for the hospital.C. Uggs skin can be sold as Italian leather.D. The hospital staff think Uggs is not really ugly.58. What can we infer from the passage?A. Uggs became famous on the Internet.B. Uggs disease can be cured in the future.C. Uggs likes to sit or lie by itself.D. Uggs picture can be bought in the hospital.59. The best title for the passage would be “_”.A. New Hampshire veterinary hospitalB. A strange disease for catsC. Ugly but beautiful D. A statue or a catB 难度：General Airport TipsPlan to get to the airport at least an hour early, or two during holidays and other busy times; this will give you a major reduction in stress. If all goes well, you will have time to relax, shop for last-minute things, or have a meal before the flight. You must be at the loading gate instead of the airport entrance at least 10 minutes ahead of schedule (日程表) in the U.S., 20 minutes in Bahamas, Canada, and Mexico and 30 at the international airports of other countries.Flight Delays (延迟)Find out why your flight is delayed. Call the toll-free number and find out if other airlines are experiencing similar delays. If you believe the delay is due to something other than weather or air traffic problems, mention your suspicion (怀疑) and ask the airline personnel (员工) to book you on the next flight, either on the same airline or another one. This is called “Rule 240”, and all airlines are required to follow it. Ask“Can you 240 me?” when speaking with an agent. They will know what you mean.Flight Cancellations (取消)If your flight is canceled, make a reservation (预约) on the next flight. Usually, airline personnel will try to book the next flight for everyone. They will put you on a competitors next flight only if you request it. If on-time arrival is important to you, when you check flights through the reservation system you can make your choices based on their on-time arrival records. Be sure to also check the weather conditions, as they often influence the flight schedule.60.

When I was a baby, Dad had to spend long weeks at sea as a fisherman. One day, I suddenly began to cry loudly. No matter how Mom comforted me, I just kept crying. Mom felt uneasy (不安的). A feeling told her that something bad would happen. Then a word hit her “Mayday”. Mom called the Coast Guard, asking the man on duty about my Dad and his ship.“Yes, madam, your husband ran into some trouble,” he replied. “Theyre caught in a heavy storm and he radioed (用无线电发送信息) for help when water started pouring in his ship. We flew out there about an hour ago and dropped them a pump (抽水机). Take it easy. He will be back soon.” “What if the pump doesnt work?” Mom questioned. “You should do another fly-over.” The man tried to comfort Mom. “He must be all right now, Mrs Hemingway, or we wouldve heard a radio signal from him.” “You havent got a Mayday?” “No, but well let you know if we hear the radio signal.” Mom hung up. I remained crying. Mom called the Coast Guard again. Finally, they said they would send out a rescue （救援） plane.At midnight the phone rang. It was the Coast Guard. Theyd found my father and all his crew floating in the sea 15 miles off Jamaica. Dads ship had sunk, but fortunately all were safe.“The pump they dropped didnt work fast enough,” Dad said. “I radioed a Mayday, but I couldnt get through.”Dad didnt get through to the Coast Guard because of the storm, but he got through to us. Really, there is something that cant be seen but exists (存在), as is said but cant be explained, between us, the families.64. Why did the man on duty say the authors father would return soon?A.

What may be the explanation for the authors (as a baby) crying?A. He might feel hungry in the evening.B. He might have a feeling of uneasiness.C. He might see something terrible in the room.D.

Until now, scientists have held the opinion that humans are the only animals that can correctly keep rhythm （节奏） with music. Thanks to Snowball, that opinion is changing. Snowball is a cockatoo, a kind of parrot, and his favorite song is “Everybody” by the Backstreet Boys. When he hears the song, he dances to it, so he is called the only bird member of the boy band. Aniruddh Patel is a scientist who had studied the cockatoo at the bird home for two years. The scientist played “Everybody” for Snowball and also played different kinds of the song that were sped up or slowed down. Sometimes, Snowball danced too fast or too slowly. Often, when there was a change in rhythm, Snowball changed his dancing to match the rhythm. Adena Schachner, who studies psychology (心理学), also wanted to know more about the dancing bird. Schachners team played different musical pieces for Snowball and a parrot named Alex, as well as eight human volunteers. The scientists found that the birds and the humans kept time to the music with about the same correctness. Schachner and her team watched thousands of videos of different animals moving to music. From watching the videos, the scientists found that only animals that imitate (模仿) sounds, including 14 parrot species and Asian elephants, correctly moved in time to music.Patel suspects (怀疑) that the ability to keep time to music is connected in the brain with the ability to imitate sounds. Scientists have a number of different theories (理论) for why people can dance. By studying the brains of dancing birds like Snowball, scientists may start to find the science of dancing.68. Why is Snowball called the only bird member of the boy band?A. Because the song “Everybody” is written for Snowball.B. Because Snowball can sing the song “Everybody” very well.C. Because the band members love Snowball very much.D. Because Snowball can dance to “Everybody” by the band.69. According to Aniruddh Patels study, Snowball _.A. can dance to music with a changeable rhythmB. is cleverer than the other birdsC. often dances too fast or too slowlyD. can dance together with preschool children70. Which of the following is the result of Schachner and her teams research?A. Birds could dance to specially designed music.B. Animals could dance through watching the videos.C. Animals that imitate sounds could dance to music.D. Parrots have brains as bright as human beings.71. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _.A. scientists still dont know why people danceB. the science of dancing may be concluded laterC. Snowball has no study value for scientistsD. birds brains dont influence their dancing abilityE 难度：To help you make the most of your experience at Auckland Zoo we suggest:Plan Your Day:* Plan your day to learn more about your favorite Zoo animals. * Dont forget your camera the best way to keep your visit forever.
