A
He was her best friend’s boyfriend. It sounds like a lifetime TV movie. Back in high school in Chicago, Sue Napolitano and Larry McNevin were just friends. They wore jackets and were always sitting on the bridge smoking. But neither gave the other a romantic thought. In fact, asked to describe each other back in those days, Sue and Larry both came up with the adjective: “nice”.
On Sept. 11, 2004, after 35 years, the high school friends were about to find out how nice “nice” could be. Larry was looking for another friend with whom he went to high school through C, a service that reconnects high school friends through e-mails. That friend suggested he call Sue.
Then Larry and Sue talked from the topics of music to food and found they shared similar tastes. After that, they both ran to their closets to dig out their yearbooks to find the other’s picture.
With that one call, Sue, who divorced(离婚) in 1985 after five years of marriage, and Larry, who divorced in 1997, began calling and e-mailing each other daily. A month later Sue flew to Chicago. Larry and Sue hugged and cried when they met at the airport. They were like two lovers separated for years.
On April 11, 2005, while the two were in Las Vegas, they got married. After the wedding, Larry said it made more sense for him to move to Phoenix, since he planned on retiring to someplace warm, and few places are warmer.

Animals have always played a part in the literature of the world. Many of the early Greek myths told of a particular hero’s battle with imaginary animals such as the Hydra, a nine-headed snake. Myths are very old and often began as stories handed down from person to person.
In 400 B.C. animals were the central characters in some of the first plays ever written. One play was called The Birds, another The Frogs. In these early Greek plays the animals made fun of human weaknesses, particularly politicians of the time.
Folk tales were stories told by the common people at first by word of mouth. They usually had a lesson of some sort. For example, an ancient African folk tale told about a crocodile who was very greedy.
Another type of story that came about many centuries ago is the fable. Aesop’s Fable(《伊索寓言》) were put into book form in 1484. In all of these stories animals talk and act like humans. Each fable has a lesson buried in the plot.
Poems were also popular literary homes for a variety of animals. One of the first collections of poems for children was the simple Mother Goose, first published in the 18th century. No matter how old or wise you become, will you ever forget the cow who jumped over the moon or the three blind mice?
In the 19th and 20th centuries novels have been written about animals. A novel is a fictitious story, usually much longer than a short story. One of the first animal novels was Wind in the Willows, written in 1908. Its main characters were a rat, a mole, and a toad.

Sometimes the real world can be a confusing place. It is not always fair or kind. And in the real world there are not always happy endings. That is why, once in a while, we like to escape into the world of fantasy—a place where things always go our way and there is always a happy ending.
We want to believe in fantastic creatures in imaginary lands. We want to believe in magic powers, good friends, and the power of good to overcome evil. We all dream about being able to fly and lift buildings off the ground. And how well a magic sword would fall into our hands as we go off to kill a dragon or win the love of a beautiful princess！
The amazing adventures of Superman, Peter Pan, and Harry Potter have attracted many people, children and adults. The main reason is that these stories offer us chances to get away from this real, disappointing world and allow us to find some magical solutions to our problems. For example, Superman always arrives in time to prevent a disaster from happening. Peter Pan can fly freely to make fun of the bad guy Captain Hook, and Harry Potter has his magic power to take revenge on (报复) his uncle, aunt and cousin, who always ill-treat him.
44. People enter the world of fantasy for the following reasons EXCEPT that ______.
A. the world of fantasy frightens us
B. the real world is often disappointing
C. we can find happy endings there
D. we can always have our wishes realized
45. Superman, Peter Pan, and Harry Potter have attracted many people because _________.
A. the bad guys always get the advantage over them
B. they end up getting married to beautiful princesses
C. their solutions are absolutely not magical
D. they have special powers ordinary people don’t have
46. The writer of this passage seems to believe _______.
A. the real world is better than the fantastic world
B. the fantastic world is better than the real world
C. the real world needs some forces to make it fair and kind
D. the fantastic world is the perfect place for us to live in
47. This passage about fantasy literature is intended to _______.
A. criticize its unrealistic concepts B. laugh at those people reading it
C. explain why people like to read it D. teach people to avoid disasters
D
There’s a new zoo in Louisiana, US, which has many of the usual attractions. Like most zoos, its goal is to protect wild animals and educate the public. However, the Louisiana Audubon Nature Center is more than a wildlife center. It has a planetarium (天文馆), a forest, and a special frozen zoo that rarely has visitors.
Saving species from dying out is the main goal of the Nature Center. Tourists visit the public areas of the Nature Center. But scientists work behind the public areas. They use the place to prevent animals dying out. They hope that the frozen zoo will one day be able to save and keep all the animals alive on our planet. In the frozen zoo, there aren’t any live animals in cages. Instead, it has live cells in tiny building blocks of the animals—in liquid nitrogen (氮) bottles. Liquid nitrogen is very cold and it keeps the cells perfect, so the cells should be safe for hundreds of years. The frozen zoo has over 1,000 different species that are put in nitrogen. If one of these species becomes endangered, the scientists can unfreeze the cells and bring the species back.
Many animals are struggling to survive. But their future is not that worrying, because there are more and more zoos joining the frozen zoo project. And scientists are also working to save habitats (the places where animals live and plants grow). Hopefully we will be able to save all species from dying out and give them a safe place to live.
48. What makes Audubon Nature Center a special zoo?
A. Protecting wild animals. B. Educating the public.
C. Being built in Louisiana. D. Having a special frozen zoo.
49. What’s the main goal of the Nature Center in Louisiana?
A. To save species from dying out. B. To freeze animals.
C. To conduct scientific experiments. D. To entertain the public.

A. rows of buildings for animals to live in
B. rows of bottles containing live cells of animals
C. rows of cages for animals to live in
D. rows of frozen zoos
51. The best title of the passage is “_______”.
A. A Wildlife Center B. A Modern Zoo
C. A Frozen Zoo D. Protecting Animals
