第二部分 阅读理解（满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Can animals be artistic? Painting and music are part of efforts to keep animals happy at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo.
A sloth bear (长毛熊) called Francois is one of the National Zoo’s artists. He began his artistic career two years ago. Francois has a very unusual way to paint. He uses his breathing to paint. His zookeeper, Stacey Tabellario, says that although the technique may look strange, it is actually a very natural behavior for sloth bears. The zookeepers fill one of those tubes full of paint and ask them to breathe through it. And they blow all of the paints onto the canvases (画布), making these really cool paintings.
Animal artists come in all shapes and sizes at the Zoo. They use many kinds of techniques to create their works of art. Apes use paintbrushes. Many use their paws or claws—much like a human painter who would use his or her hands.
Stacey Tabellario says Francois seems to enjoy expressing himself through his art. “When I set up the materials for painting activity, he comes and sits next to them and waits until they are ready for painting. He does that every time. I also see where his eyes go. He does see the paints come out of the tube and land on the canvas.”
But not every animal wants to paint. Music is another part of the arts enrichment program. Physically and mentally stimulating activities are an important part of the daily care of the animals. Trainers have a lot of tools, from tablet computer to small toys.
Kenton Kerns says the program helps the animals and the zookeepers in many ways. Every interaction between keepers and their animals creates some sort of connections. The one-of-a-kind works of art created by the animals are popular with zoo visitors. Many are sold at the zoo’s fund-raising events.
1、From Paragraph 2, we can learn that ________.
A．Francois is a two-year-old artist at the National Zoo
B．Francois can make fantastic paintings with paintbrushes
C．Francois, way to paint is an unnatural behavior for sloth bears
D．Francois paints by blowing the paints in the tubes onto the canvas
2、According to the passage, the apes paint by ________.
A．blowing the tubes full of paints
B．using their hands directly
C．using some tools
D．walking on the canvas
3、From the last paragraph, we can learn the works of art created by the animals ________.
A．can be sold at a high price
B．are mainly popular with the kids
C．create higher prices than the artists
D．can be bought at the zoo’s fund-raising events
4、What’s the main idea of the passage?
A．Zoo animals show artistic side.
B．Painting and music are useful in the zoo.
C．Animals enjoy painting.
D．Animals need enrichment too.

B
As I sit at home thinking about my upcoming ad-venture and the things I need to bring, it makes me even more excited to begin my travel. I will be making my way around the world.

The first places on the list arc Andalusia and Africa in the book The Alchemist. I will need to pack a lot of stuff and make sure I have enough money to provide myself with food and enough to drink. The Sahara desert is always hot and requires plenty of water.
Next I will head to Mexico in the book Born to Run, where I will encounter the Tarahumara Indian tribe. I will need to get into shape and do some jogging if I want to keep up with them while running. I will have to pack my running shoes, though, because the Tarahumarans have mastered the art of running on the tough land.
After Mexico, my journey takes me to the Egyptian desert in the novel The Paris Vendetta. There I hope to help uncover an ancient conspiracy (阴谋) that goes back centuries. Just like my trip to Andalusia 91 will have to make sure I have plenty of water. Packing the Camelbak products seems like the best idea, so I will have water on hand at all times. I expect this adventure to be quite interesting, and I am very excited about it.
Lastly, I will make my way back to America in the book Shattered: Struck Down, But Not Destroyed. This makes me feel excited because like the main character in the book, I also wanted to become a professional athlete when I was younger. For this trip, I will go with an open mind and hopefully meet some friends along the way.
I am ready to embark on my adventure of traveling, and I cannot wait any longer!
1、According to the passage, the Tarahumara Indian tribe .
A．settles in Africa B．lives in a desert
C．is good at running D．needs running shoes
2、The Camelbak products are probably made to .
A．help people do jogging exercise
B．supply people with water
C．protect people from the sun
D．show people the right direction
3、The underlined words “embark on” in the last paragraph probably mean “ ”.
A．start B．prepare
C．finish D．record
4、What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Everyone should travel around the world.
B．Traveling makes people wise,
C．My traveling experience.
D．My travel plan.
