They sleep through meetings. They never pay. They dont even use bathrooms when they have to go.However, Ehmke puts up with such rude behavior, and he does it happily. Why? Because he designs homes for gorillas, bears, lions, and other zoo animals. And he enjoys the challenge of looking at the world through their exotic (奇异的) eyes.“The role of a zoo designer is to think as much as possible about what will make each animal fortable, happy, and active,” says Ehmke, director of the Minnesota Zoo in Apple Valley.“It would be wrong to say you can know what an animal is thinking and feeling,” he adds. “But we do our best to get as close to that as possible when were designing homes for them.”Most zoo visitors focus on the animals, not on the habitats and barriers that fence the animals in. But details like these have received extra attention since December, when a female Siberian tiger escaped from her enclosure (围栏) at the San Francisco Zoo. The 4-year-old, 350-pound cat killed one person and injured two others.The incident raised fears among zoo goers and sent staff at zoos across the nation rushing to evaluate how safe their own exhibits are. Still, experts say, the tragic event should not scare people away from zoos.“There have probably been 5 billion visits to zoos in the last 50 years,” Ehmke says. “This is the first time this has happened.”11. What is Lee Ehmke?A. An official.B. A professor.C. A designer.D. A feeder.12. What does the underlined expression “Lee Ehmkes customers” refer to?A. Architects.B. Animals.C. Bathrooms.D. Visitors.13. Focusing on the habitats and barriers begins with _.A. architects designing homes for the zoo animalsB. animals looking at the world through their exotic eyesC. a female Siberian tigers escaping and killing personsD. the nation rushing to evaluate how important the zoos14. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. All the zoo animals in the passage are very easy to deal with.B. The purpose of a zoo designer is to make the zoo animals life easier.C. Many of the zoo visitors would pay attention to the animals enclosures.D. There are 5 billion tragic events that happened in the zoos in the last 50 years.15. Whats the best title of the passage?A. The other side of the zoo fence.B. The other side of the tiger.C. The habitat of the tiger.D. The escape of animals.BNot all vegetables need lots of sunshine. Mark Hoffman and his wife own a bed-and-breakfast guesthouse in rural Kempton, Illinois. They often serve their guests fresh products from the garden.The Hoffmans have been growing food and flowers for twenty-five years. For almost ten of those years, Mr. Hoffman has been experimenting and working with shade (阴凉) plantings. He says, “The bottom line here is that most plants will produce more in full sun. But if you do not have full sun, there are other choices.”For example, he grows tomatoes near oak trees. Oak trees can produce a lot of shade. But Mr. Hoffman says his tomato plants grow as long as they get five hours direct sunshine a day, especially morning sun. Not only does this go against the traditional advice that tomatoes need six, eight, even twelve hours full sun a day. It also shows how plants and tree roots can share nutrients and water.Mr. Hoffman says plants with wider leaves seem to do better in shady environments. He also found that his potatoes did better partly in shade than in full sun.Moving them out of the sun helped control an insect problem. Mr. Hoffman does not use pesticide (农药). Instead, he planted the potatoes in the shade, especially on the east side of the tree. The potatoes get morning sun, but they are shaded during the hottest part of the day. Some insects dislike shade, and the hottest part day is when they do the worst of their damage.Time of day, sun intensity (强度), shadows from trees, walls and buildings all influence how much sunlight falls on plants. And people interested in shade planting should also remember something else. The term “shade” can describe different amounts of darkness. It can even mean different things in different parts of the world.16. How many hours of sunshine are enough to keep tomato plants growing in Hoffmans garden? A. Five hours a dayB. Six hours a day C. Eight hours a dayD. Twelve hours a day17. From the passage we can know that _ . A. plants with wider leaves produce more in full sun.B. as a matter of fact, plants dont need to grow in full sun.C. the more sunshine plants get, the more they will produceD. plants with wider leaves grow better in shadows18. All of the following can influence how much sunlight falls on plants EXCEPT _. A. length of day time B. brightness of the sun C. changes of the seasonD. shadows19. Which of the following can best describe Mr. Hoffman? A. CuriousB. ExperiencedC. Easy-goingD. Funny20. We may read the passage on a website in the section of _. A. environmentB. travellingC. agricultureD. lifestyleCPeople in the United States honor their parents with two special days：Mothers Day, on the second Sunday in May, and Fathers Day, on the third Sunday in June. These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible(有责任感的) citizens. They give love and care. These two days make us think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home. More fathers must help with child care.These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mothers Day people wear carnations. A red one symbolizes a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery (墓地). On these days families get together at home, as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecues for Fathers Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are valued more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is important, but it is “the thought that counts”. Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakeries, telephone panies, and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays.21. Which of the following is NOT a reason for children to show love and respect for parents?A. Parents bring up children.B. Parents give love and care to children.C. Parents educate children to be good persons.D. Parents pass away before children grow up.22. What do you think “florists” do?A. They sell flowers.B. They make and sell bread.C. They offer enough room for having family parties.D. They sell special gifts for Mothers Day and Fathers Day.23. Which do you think is right about “carnation”?A. It has only two kinds of colors. B. It refers to the special clothes people wear on Mothers Day or Fathers Day.C. Its a kind of flower showing love and best wishes.D. People can wear carnations only on the second Sunday in May.24. What do you know from the passage?A. Mothers Day and Fathers Day are both in May.B. Fewer women worked outside the home in the past.C. Not all the children respect their parents.D. Fathers are not as important as mothers at home.25. On Mothers Day and Fathers Day, _ .A. people usually have family gatheringsB. everyone goes to visit the cemeteryC. children always go to parents homeD. hand-made cards are the most valuable gifts第二节 选句填空（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。Tips for cooking on a Tight ScheduleFrom my experience, there are three main reasons why people dont cook more often: ability, money and time, 26 Money is a topic Ill save for another day. So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen. Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule:1. Think ahead. The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when Im already hungry and there is nothing ready to eat. So think ahead of the ing week. When will you have time to cook? Do you have the right materials (材料) ready? 27 2. Make your time worth it. When you do find time to cook a meal, make the most of it and save yourself time later on. Are you making one loaf of bread? 28 It takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save yourself the effort for a future meal.3. 29 This may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation. It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule. The more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.Hopefully that gives you a good start. 30 and dont let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!A. Try new things. B. Ability is easily improved.C. Make three or four instead.D. Understand your food better.E. Cooking is a burden for many people.F. Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden.G. A little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on. 第三部分 语言知识及应用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空 (共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。A man wanted to study medicine but couldnt make up his mind.
