Manager,
         I am an exchange student from China. Yesterday, I went to your cinema to see a film. The film was very well, but I did not enjoy it because there were some problem in the cinema.
         First, the film was delayed as there were so much advertisements at the beginning. It was rather annoyed. Second, the sound of the film was too loud that I could hardly bear. The EXIT signs could not be seen clearly, which presented potential safety hazards. If something terribly should happen, it will be difficult for people to get out quickly.
         As a visitor to your city, I’m disappointed with my experience in your cinema. I am writing a letter in the hope that you can consider on these problems and make more improvements.
                                                                                                               Yours faithfully,

三、 阅读理解
21. A阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
 recent study of ancient and modern elephants has come up with the unexpected conclusion that the African elephant is divided into two distinct(不同的)species.
The discovery was made by researchers at York and Harvard Universities when they were examining the genetic relationship between the ancient woolly mammoth and mastodon to modern elephants—the Asian elephant，African forest elephant，and African savanna elephant.
Once they obtained DNA sequences(序列) from two fossils(化石)，mammoths and mastodons，the team compared them with DNA from modern elephants. They found to their amazement that modern forest  and savanna elephants are as distinct from each other as Asian elephants and mammoths.
The scientists used detailed genetic analysis to prove that the African savanna elephant and the African forest elephant have been distinct species for several million years. The divergence of the two species took place around the time of the divergence of Asian elephants and woolly mammoths. This result amazed all the scientists.
There has long been debate in the scientific community that the two might be separate species，but this is the most convincing scientific evidence so far that they are indeed different species.
Previously，many naturalists believed that African savanna elephants and African forest elephants were two populations of the same species，despite the elephants’ significant size differences. The savanna elephant has an average shoulder height of 3.5 metres while the forest elephant has an average shoulder height of 2.5 metres.The savanna elephant weighs between six and seven tons，roughly double the weight of the forest elephant.But the fact that they look so different does not necessarily mean they are different species.However the proof lay in the analysis of the DNA.
Alfred Roca，assistant professor in the Department of Animal Sciences at the University of Illinois，said，“We now have to treat the forest and  savanna elephants as two different units for conservation purposes.Since 1950，all African elephants have been conserved as one species.Now that we k now the forest and savanna elephants are two very distinctive animals，the forest elephant should become a bigger priority(优先)for conservation purposes.”
56．One of the fossils studied by the researchers is that of ________.
A．the Asian elephant
B．the forest elephant
C．the savanna elephant
D．the mastodon elephant
57．The underlined word “divergence” in paragraph 4 means “________.”
A．evolution
B．exhibition
C．separation
D．examination
58．The researchers’ conclusion was based on a study of the African elephant’s ________.
A．DNA
B．height
C．weight
D．population
59．What are Alfred Roca’s words mainly about?
A．The conservation of African elephants.
B．The purpose of studying African elephants.
C．The way to divide African elephants into two units.
D．The reason for the distinction of African elephants.
60．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A．Naturalists’ Beliefs about Elephants
B．Amazing Exper iments about Elephants
C．An Unexpected Finding about Elephants
D．A Long Scientific Debate about Elephants
参考答案：
56. D　细节理解题。根据第三段 “Once they obtained DNA sequences(序列)from two fossils(化石)，mammoths and mastodons, the team compared them with DNA from modern elephants.”可判断选D。
57. C　词义猜测题。根据第四段“The scientists used detailed genetic analysis to prove that the African savanna elephant and the African forest elephant have been distinct species for several million years.”可知，科学家已证实，非洲的草原大象与非洲的森林大象几百万年来都不属于同一品种，即可推断下句为“两种大象的分离应发生在……”。由此可推断划线词应意为“分离”，故选C。
58. A　细节理解题。根据第三段“Once they obtained DNA sequences(序列)from two fossils(化石)，mammoths and mastodons, the team compared them with DNA from modern elephants. They found to their amazement that modern forest and savanna elephants are as distinct from each other as Asian elephants and mammoths”可判断研究者的结论是建立在对非洲大象的DNA的研究结果的基础上的，故选A。
59. A　逻辑推理题。根据最后一段中的“Now that we know the forest and savanna elephants are two very distinctive animals, the forest elephant should become a bigger priority (优先)for conservation purposes.”可推断他的讲话是围绕对非洲大象的保护的，故选A。
60. C　主旨大意题。根据主题段第一段可知，本文主要介绍关于非洲大象的最新研究成果：非洲草原大象和非洲森林大象实为两种完全不同的品种。由此判断选C。
