It also notes a large increase in the number of international students from China.These findings are from the latest Open Doors Report. The report documents the record number of international students in the United States during 2012, 2013 school year. It says more than seven hundred sixty-four thousand four-hundred such students were attending American colleges and universities during the last two years. That represents an increase of almost six percent than one year earlier. On the other hand, the number of Americans studying overseas(海外) increased by one percent, which reached nineteen thousand this year.The report says one hundred ninety-four thousand students at American colleges and universities were from China .That is an increase of more than twenty-three percent over the year before. Peggy Blumenthal, an expert（专家）of international education, described the effect of the increase in Chinesestudents.Now they have been coming for some time. But this year was the highest level ever. She says many Chinese families are able to pay for the highest-quality education for their children. The children mainly choose to study in America.We know many of them have enough income to be able to afford to send them anywhere in the world if they want to go. And for the most part, looking around the world, Chinese students still prefer to come to the United States as their choice.Chinese students are not the only ones who want to attend American colleges and universities. After China, India sends the second largest number of students to the United States for higher education. India has about one hundred thousand students in American schools. South Korea is third with about seventy-two thousand students.Why do so many foreign students study in the United States? Peggy Blumenthal provides one reason.The advantage America has is that we have a huge system (系统)and a very perfect system. So there are over four thousand universities and colleges in the United States. Among them are some top ones in the world, and what that tells us is there is still a lot of room to host international students.Foreign students represent less than four percent of the total student population in American higher education. And from Learning English, thats the VOA Special English Education Report. Im Bob Doughty.

Although this sounds very unusual, some children have done just this. The Natural Zoo has given people the chance to adopt animals 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 and grown-ups(成年人) 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 thrilling(令人兴奋的) for those children to go to the Natural Zoo to visit their adopted tiger Brocky.（1） Brocky is_.A . an animal zooB . an adopted childC . a tiger without childrens loveD . a tiger in need of adoption（2） 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 them to do so（3） With so many peoples money, Brocky now can _.A . play with many toysB . live without being hungryC . eat meat every dayD . have an air-conditioned room to live in（4） We can infer(推断)from the passage that _.A . zoos are too poor to feed the animalsB . there are too many animals in the zooC . many people are kind to animalsD . children love animals better than adults do（5） Children will be if they go to the zoo to visit the tiger Brocky.A . frightenedB . excited and happyC . nervousD . surprised24. （10分） (2017九上三台月考) 阅读理解DDo you think there is a ghost (鬼) in the world? More than 20 years ago, a student jumped from the top of the clock tower in the University of Birmingham.

Maybe you thought that they were just happy. After all, you probably also sing or whistle when you are happy.Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy. However, they sing most of the time for a very different reason. Their singing is actually a warning to other birds to stay out of their territory.Do you know what a “territory” is? A territory is an area that an animal, usually the male, claims（宣称）as its own. Only he and his family are welcome there. No other families of the same species（物种）are welcome. Your yard and house are your territory where only your family and friends are welcome. (1) If a stranger should enter your territory and want to hurt you, you might shout. Probably this would be enough to frighten him away.If so, you have actually frightened the stranger away without having to fight him. (2)一只鸟也将会做同样的事. But he expects an outsider almost any time, especially at nesting （筑巢）season. So he is screaming（尖叫）all the time, whether he can see an outsider or not. This screaming is what we call a birds song, and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away.Birds sing loudest in spring when they are trying to attract a mate（同伴）and warn others not to enter the territory of theirs.You can see that birds have a language of their own. Most of it has to do with attracting mates and setting up territories._根据 (1) 处划线部分的意思来完成下面句子。（每空一词，共2词）You might frighten a stranger away by _ _ him if he should enter your territory and want to hurt you._根据文章，给下列问题选择最佳选项。What is a birds “territory”? （ ）AA place where other families of the same species are welcome.BA place where a bird can sing loudly.CAn area where birds often fight against each other.DAn area which a bird considers to be its own._将 (2) 处划线句子翻译成英语。_._从文中找出一个与“establish” 同义的短语，并填在横线上。_._概括本文的中心大意（不超过10个单词）。_.五、 单词拼写。根据句意及汉语提示写单词。 (共5题；共18分)26. （1分） How many_(小孩)are there in the family? 27. （5分） 根据句意及汉语提示完成句子。（1） Lily cant help _(打开) the box to see what is in it.（2） Li Yundi _(创作) this piece of music.（3） Children _(也; 还; 而且) older people like to see Kung Fu Panda.（4） My mother gets up _(早) in my family.（5） Zootopia is _(受欢迎的) with young people.28. （10分） 根据短文内容和汉语提示，写出空白处各单词的正确形式Im studying at Sydney Russell School, a _（小的）but very _（有名的）school in Australia.
