21．（6分）World Elephant Day is the perfect time to find out more about these amazing animals and what we can do to preserve them so they do not go the way of the mammoth（猛犸象）.
World Elephant Day was created in 2011 by two Canadian filmmakers Patricia Sims and Thailand’s Elephant Reintroduction Foundation and was first celebrated on August 12, 2012. They made the documentary Return to the Forest, a fascinating 30 minute film about the reintroduction of caught Asian elephants to the wild.
Currently, the demand for ivory（象牙）is becoming bigger and bigger, whose price is higher than that of gold, making elephants bigger targets than ever. Habitation loss is also a danger to the world’s elephant population as it robs elephants of the hundreds of pounds of food they need every day, making it more difficult for them to breed and making it easier for hunters to track them down. Circuses and tourism are also serious threats to the animals’ well-being.
The best way to celebrate this day is to take the opportunity to educate yourself about these magnificent（巨大的）mammals and share your knowledge with others. As ever, simply spreading the word about the dangers these magnificent mammals face via social media can actually make a real change. Expose that “training” elephants often involves tying and beating them daily for months on end. If you want to get a bit more involved, you could choose to make a donation to a foundation dedicated to protecting elephants from hunters or relocating them to locations better suited to their needs.
Whichever way suits you best, make sure that you spend this day in a way that helps elephants all over the world, so we, in turn, can continue to wonder at them and their uniquely fascinating way of life.
1、What is the main purpose of World Elephant Day?
A．To collect donations for elephants.
B．To do researchers on elephants’ life.
C．To protect the elephants from extinction.
D．To make films about all kinds of elephants.
2、Which of the following is the biggest threat to elephants?
A．Human being.
B．Severe climate.
C．Natural environment.
D．Limited food resource.
3、What does the author advise doing to celebrate World Elephant Day?
A．Watching the elephant shows.
B．Making your own films about elephants.
C．Appealing to focus on elephant protection.
D．Traveling to Thailand to ride trained elephants.
4、According to the text, what is the best way to protect elephants?
A．Supplying enough food for elephants.
B．Catching and raising elephants in the cages.
C．Replacing elephants in suitable wild habitations.
D．Attracting elephants to live together with human beings.
22．（8分）Ask people in the UK what the words “Sunday roast” mean to them, and they’ll probably take you back to their grandmothers’ dining rooms --– maybe with a few stories of “the greatest puddings” and “the best ever steak”. But now the traditional Sunday roast seems to have been left back in the old days. According to the Daily Mail, just one in 50 British families sits down to this weekly meal together.
There are many reasons why the roast is becoming less popular. In the busy modern world, where breakfast is a slice of toast eaten on the way to work or school and lunch is a quick sandwich in front of the computer screen, people just don’t seem to have the time or patience to make a roast.
And Sunday was once a day when people could easily go to the kitchen to cook. Nowadays, people are often out shopping or at the cinema until it’s far too late to start thinking about heating the oven(烤箱) up.
However, a recent article from The Telegraph warned against being carried away by our tight schedules: “It would be a shame to let this fine old tradition disappear.”
The Guardian further explained that the eating of the big meal is only the half of it. The Sunday roast also makes for relaxed morning activities in the kitchen, and the table becomes the perfect place to share good food and chat with family and friends. “For busy moms and dads, even if you can manage to turn off your mobile phone and the TV only once a week and turn the Sunday roast into a real family event, children can have fun cooking the food and clearing up together.”
1、The best title for the passage is probably _____.
A．Sunday—Best Time for Family
B．Sunday Roast Dying Out
C．It’s the Perfect Time for Us
D．Let’s Sit Down Together
2、Why do people pay less attention to Sunday roast?
A．They have a busy lifestyle.
B．They have no interest in cooking.
C．They don’t think it worthwhile.
D．They are living in the modern society.
3、What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?
A．A recent article.
B．A traditional kitchen.
C．The fine old tradition.
D．Sunday morning activity.
4、How does the author feel towards Sunday roast’s dying out?
A．Doubtful. B．Positive.
C．Sorry. D．Uncertain.
23．（8分）I am trying to muster (鼓起) the courage to____my mobile phone to enjoy a more peaceful and ring­free life.
Can you imagine not having your mobile phone? In our high­tech, in­a­hurry age, a cell­free life is a hard concept to swallow. Our mobile phones can now access the Internet, and many people feel the need to express their every thought on their blog pages. If I gave up my cellphone, people would think I was mad.
I wish I had the strength to toss away my technology. I have an office phone, a home phone，an e­mail and if people want to contact me, they can. If I’m out，people can leave a message. Do they really need to find me 24/7？However, I’m a bit like Frodo in the movie Lord of the Rings. The power of the ring is too strong and I can’t let it go.
Mobile phones have become necessary tools in our busy life. For most people, they hold all contacts and many of us don’t write up address books any more. The latest phones carry our music, pictures, movies and everything else. We feel lost without this device and when we do misplace it, we feel cut off from our fellow.
“Where have you been？” said a friend, who saw me a week after I lost my cellphone, “I tried calling you, but you disappeared. You disappeared off the face of the Earth.” See, when you don’t have a mobile phone, you don’t exist.
I’m not really going to toss my mobile phone away, in fact. We humans are such social animals and mobile phones serve us well. So in 2009, I’ve decided not to serve my mobile phone. Like all machines, I can always turn it off.
1、What does the underlined phrase “toss away” mean?
A．give away B．get away C．break away D．throw away
2writer mentions Frodo to________.
A．show it is difficult to get rid of the mobile phone
B．show how much he likes Frodo
C．suggest a cell­free life is what he wants
D．introduce a film character to us
3、do we know about mobile phones in the 4th paragraph?
A．Mobile phones can do anything for us.

B．Mobile phones have become very important in our life.
C．We could not live without mobile phones.
D．We would be cut off by our fellow without mobile phones.
4、can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A．The writer is not really going to toss his mobile phone away.
B．When you don’t have a mobile phone，you don’t exist.
C．The writer decides not to serve his mobile phone.
D．We humans can control ourselves and machines.
24．（8分） Everyone has their favourite scenes and characters in Harry Potter books and films． One of the most memorable scenes for many came early on in the series． In Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone， the owls began to send letters to Harry inviting him to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry． Owls were then mentioned frequently in the books and created amazing images in the films．
Everyone around the world loves the Harry Potter series． But if there has been one bad result of J．K． Rowling's creative gifts， it is the craze that has swept through many countries for owning an owl． Many experts suggest that because Harry Potter fans would like to own their own owl， there is a strong chance that owls may soon start to die out．
There are over 200 different species of owl． They are nocturnal birds， which means they are awake at night， usually hunting． They have large round eyes that face forwards on their flat faces． Owls also like to be on their own， unless it is the mating season．
Indonesia is one of the main countries that are now selling owls to young and old Harry Potter fans． There are many bird markets throughout the country， with the largest being Pramuka in Indonesia's capital city， Jakarta． Birds are Indonesia's most popular pet， with about 20 percent of all homes keeping at least one． It is thought that about 13，000 owls are sold each year in Indonesia's bird markets． They cost between ﹩10 and ﹩30． This is affordable for most families where the parents work． Most of the owls have been taken from the wild and do not live for very long once they have been caught．
Not everyone is happy about the situation， including the Harry Potter author， J．K． Rowling． She said， "If anybody has been influenced by my books， to think an owl would be happiest shut in a small cage and kept in a house， I would like to take this opportunity to say as forcefully as I can， "you are wrong!""
1、What purpose does Paragraph 1serve？
A．To bring up the topic．
B．To express the main idea．
C．To advertise Harry Potter books．
D．To describe the author's favourite animal．
2、What harmful result do the Harry Potter series bring about？
A．Owls being forced out of their homes．
B．An increase in the animal attacks．
C．Damage to children's creativity．
D．A fall in the numbers of owls．
3、What do we know about Indonesia's bird market？
A．They mainly sell owls．
B．They have a ready sale for owls．
C．They usually sell home﹣raised owls．
D．They sell owls at a comparatively high price．
4、What did J．K． Rowling think of the situation？
