Although this sounds very unusual, some children have done just this. The Natural Zoo has given people the chance to adopt animal by paying for all of its food for one year. One of the animals that needed parents was a young tiger named Brocky. The people at the zoo said that it would cost about $900 a year for the food for Brocky.Not many boys and girls have $900 to spend. That is why several hundred children andgrown-ups each have sent a little money to the zoo to help pay for Brockys food. Some children sent in only a quarter because that was all the money they had. Other children sent in more money than that.Since so many people sent money to the zoo to help pay for Brockys food, he now will be able to eat as much as he wants. Brocky surely must be a happy tiger to know that he has so many adopted parents. Many children must also be happy to know that they have helped to feed him. It really will be exciting for those children to go to the Natural Zoo to visit their adopted tiger Brocky.( ) 41. Brocky is _. A. an animal zoo B. an adopted childC. a tiger without childrens love D. a tiger in need of adoption( ) 42. Several hundred people give money to the zoo to help Brocky because _.A. its food is too expensive for one person to affordB. people dont want to spend too much money on BrockyC. people dont love Brocky enoughD. the zoo forces (强迫) them to do so( ) 43.

He held up a sign which said: “I am blind, please help.” There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words. Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps (脚步) and asked: “Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?” The man said: “I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way.” What he had written was: “Today is a beautiful day but I cannot see it.”Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing? Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat. The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind. The first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign reminded (提醒) people they were lucky that they were not blind.There are at least two lessons we can learn from this simple story. The first is: Be thankful for what you have. Someone else has less. Help where you can. The second is: Be creative. Think differently. There is always a better way!( ) 46. What did the boy do on the street? A. He sold his old hat. B.

Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The man did nothing to help the blind boy except changing the words on the sign.B. Before the man changed the words, the hat had been full.C. Without the mans help, the blind boy couldnt get so much money.D. The kind man was very thankful to the blind boy.( ) 50. Which is the best title for the passage? A. A kind and clever man. B. A blind boy in the street.C. Lets help the disabled people. D. Different words make a difference.CMr. Ma, a famous mental doctor (心理医生) from Beijing once said at an important meeting, “Now many young students can have problems with their minds. Some students become worried because they have to study very hard. Others have trouble getting on well with people around them like their parents and classmates. Parents and teachers should care more about this problem.”Then Mr. Ma gave some examples. A middle school student from Xian was doing badly in his lessons. He thought his teachers and friends often laughed at him, and he became so nervous and worried that one night he left his home without telling his parents. Another student, a 14-year-old schoolgirl from Shanghai, was very afraid of exams. While she was reading the exam paper, she couldnt think of anything to write.A recent (最近的) report from a newspaper says about 18% of the young students in Shanghai have mental problems. They often feel worried and very unhappy. Unluckily many of them wont go and ask for help. Some think they will look stupid if they go to see a doctor. Others wont talk about their secrets.At the end of the meeting, Mr. Ma gave some good ideas to young people:u Talk to your parents or teacher often.u Join in group activities.u Try to get on well with the people around you.u Go to see a doctor if you often feel unhappy.( ) 51.

She is fitted (安装) with a satellite tracking device (卫星跟踪仪). Her trip started on Oct. 18 from Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean. The trip is known as the longest nonstop journey by one of these endangered seabirds.Before that，this kind of birds was known only to fly a few hundred miles from where they live，staying away for just a few days at a time. They usually fly over the sea.The scientists feel it strange that Lydia made such a long, nonstop journey and flew overland. So the above facts raise some serious questions about efforts to stop the decline (减少) of the birds. The number of the birds has fallen by 10 percent over the past 20 years.Besides, the scientists are surprised that she was away from her baby for such a long time. They wonder why she needed to go that far. Maybe it shows that fish resources (资源)around Christmas Island are not large enough now. That might explain the slow decline of the bird - sea pollution (污染) is serious.81. Why did Lydia make such a long and nonstop journey?_82. How far does this kind of birds usually fly at a time?_83.
