On a grassy plain in South Africa，thousands of miles from home，two pairs of Zoo―bred South China tiger cubs----one-year-o1d Hope and Cathay and six-month-old Tiger Woods and Madonna--are learning to hunt in the wild．The hope is that they will one day pass on their skills to their young，allowing the next generation to get back to wildlife reserves in China．

A survey shows that the tigers are in more danger of dying out than China’s most famous animal，the giant panda．Forty years ago，about 4，000 South China tigers lived in the wild．Today there are only about 30．An additional 64 live in 19 zoos in China,，which are all descendants of six wild animals seized in 1956．

The cubs were born in zoos in China and removed from their mothers when they were three months old．Their first home in South Africa was a one-acre camp where they stayed for a month．Their next home was a ten acre area，where they lived for three months to help them gradually get used to life outside a cage．

When the cubs first arrived in South Africa，they didn’t even want to leave their cages．It took weeks to get them to eat chicken，used as they were to being fed beef at the Zoo in China where they were born．It took months of practice to hunt a live animal and then make the link between the kill and food．Now just a few months on，and living in a 150-acre camp，they have become remarkably skilled hunters．

All four animals will finally return to Zoos in China while the pioneering pairs’ cubs will grow up completely wild．The aim is for the first rehabilitated tigers to go to reserves developed in China by 2008，when the Olympic Games will be held in Beijing．

 

72．The tigers are sent to South Africa so that        .

A．their young can live in the wild

B．their young can have a better environment

C．they can get used to wildlife reserves

D．they can live a free life in the wild

73．What does the fourth paragraph mainly talk about?

A．The food the tigers ate．        B．The place where the tigers were trained．

C．The process to train the tigers．   D．The time it took to train the tigers．

74．The underlined part “the first rehabilitated tigers” refers to      

A．the tigers sent to South Africa              B．the pioneering pairs

C．the tigers’ next generation                 D．the zoo-bred tigers

75．Which of the following is true?

A．There are about 100 South China tigers at the Zoos in China．

B．South China tigers at the Zoos in China usually eat chicken．

C．In the hunting practice cubs didn’t eat what they hunted at first．

D．The four tigers will appear in the Olympic Games．

72．A  文章第二句細節(jié)。B項不妥，不是更好，而是天然。

73．C  整體理解，并用排除法。

74．C  文章第一小節(jié)最后一句陳述。B項是指送到南非的一代。

75．C  第四小節(jié)第三句有此信息。D項意義錯位，不是出現(xiàn)在奧運會上，而是2008年奧運會期間出現(xiàn)在野生動物保護區(qū)。

For photographers lacking training, experience and even the ability to click a shutter button, they produce remarkable pictures．Under the sea, deep in the woods and high in the sky, furry, feathery and leathery-skinned creatures are opening up vistas（遠景）by taking cameras where no human can go．

This is the world of animal-borne imagine celebrated last month at a conference sponsored(supported) by the National Geographic Society for the 20th anniversary of its Crittercam, the device that started it all．

Since its debut（首次公開露面）in 1987 on the back of a turtle, the Crittercam and similar devices developed by others have grown smaller and more powerful．

“It’s more than just a camera now,” said Greg Marshall, the marine biologist and now filmmaker who invented the Crittercam．“We are now including more instruments to gather more data while at the same time reducing everything in size．”

The idea of attaching video cameras to animals came to Mr．Marshall in 1986 on a dive off Belize when a shark apporached him．When the animal quickly turned away, he noticed a shark with a sucker fish on its belly．He came up with the idea that putting a camera in place of the sucker fish would allow people to witness the shark’s behavior without disturbing it．

Crittercams have been attached to sharks, sea lions and other marine animals, and, more recently, to land animals．

Birds are a new addition, Mr．Marshall said．Dr．Christian Rutz of Oxford recently reported on tiny cameras called feathercams that monitor the crows in the South Pacific．It has discovered that crows are smarter than anyone knew they not only use twigs（嫩枝）and grass stems as tools to root out food, but they also save their favorite tools to use again．

Tracey L．Rogers, director of the Australian Marine Mammal Research Center in Sydney, said crittercam was a powerful tool in her work with leopard seals（豹斑海豹）in Antarctica．“In studying animals,” Dr．Rogers said at the meeting, “you want to see how our animal models align（與……一致）with reality．With a camera, you actually see what they do．You don’t have to guess．”

What’s the text mainly about?

A．The advantages of crittercam．

B．The development of Crittercams in the past 20 years．

C．How crittercam was invented．

D．How crittercam works．

What inspired Marshall to invent crittercam?

A．The sight of sucker fish clinging to a shark on a dive．

B．The thought of how to photograph animals better．

C．Noticing a shark eating a sucker fish on a dive．

D．Seeing a shark with a camera on its belly on a dive．

According to Dr．Rogers, crittercam ____．

A．can clear up all your doubts about animals

B．is the most powerful tool in studying animals

C．enabled her to observe the crows in the South Pacific closely

D．helped a lot with her research on leopard seals in Antarctica

All of the following are improvements of crittercams EXCEPT that ____．

A．the size is becoming smaller

B．more instruments are involved to gather more data

C．they allow researchers to see where and how animals live

D．they are able to be applied to smaller animals such as birds

China may be the world's most populous country ,and it won the most gold medals at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. But its prowess at soccer is lamentable. China is ranked 84th in the sport's world standing.
Chinese are huge soccer fans, and hundreds of millions are expected to tune in to the World Cup, with all the matches broadcast live on public TV. But this time the Chinese don't have their own team to root for.
"Chinese have a reputation of being good at math, but they have trouble explaining why a population of 1.3 billion cannot produce a winning 11-member soccer team," said Xu Guoqi, a history professor at the University of Hong Kong. Journalists and soccer fans offer a number of reasons, most often money issues, politics, corruption（腐�。゛nd culture, and sometimes a combination of the four.
Even though China now boasts wealthy companies and individuals who could sponsor（贊助） teams, there is little support as long as Chinese teams are perceived as perennial losers. "This is a very bad circle," Ma said. "No results, no money. No money, no results."
Few Chinese children are playing soccer. Some sports journalists and fans attribute the lack of interest partly to schools de-emphasizing sports in general and the lack of playing venues in the country's dense urban areas. "What can Chinese kids do?” said Fan Huiming, 61, a Chinese soccer fan who grew up watching matches at Beijing's Workers' Stadium, which was built in 1958 near his childhood home. "If they play soccer, the ball may fly directly into the glass of someone's home."
For young people, soccer has largely been eclipsed by basketball, thanks in part to Chinese NBA players who are treated like rock stars. Journalists and fans say NBA's aggressive campaign of marketing and merchandise in China has helped swell the popularity of basketball. By comparison, they noted that international soccer does not even have an office in China.
Rowan Simons, a Briton who came to China more than two decades ago and discovered he wasn't able to play weekend soccer, has been on a campaign to popularize the sport here. Simons said the main problem is that soccer elsewhere has traditionally started as a series of neighborhood clubs, but in China, "there's virtually no football at community level".
"Football in China can only succeed if it's a grass-roots activity organized by the people," he said.
【小題1】This time the Chinese don't have their own team to root for in the World Cup because__________.

A．China is ranked 84th in soccer 's world standing.
B．they are angry about why China cannot produce a winning soccer team.
C．the Chinese huge soccer fans support other soccer teams.
D．the Chinese soccer team is not capable to go as far as the final part of the World Cup.
【小題2】Why are few Chinese children playing soccer?
A.No results, no money. No money, no results.
B.If the footballs fly directly into the glass of someone's home,they’ll be criticised.
C there is little support from wealthy companies and individuals sponsoring teams.
D.schools don’t pay much attention on sports and they lack playing venues in dense urban areas.
【小題3】The underlined word“eclipsed”in the six paragraph can be replaced by      .
A．occupied.B．beaten.C．led.D．compared.
【小題4】According to Rowan,what can be inferred ?
A．NBA players are more popular than soccer players in China.
B．The future of Chinese football is rather promising.
C．Chinese football should get into the life of ordinary people to survive.
D．Grass-roots Chinese football players can be popular .

Crossroads International
1. How does Crossroads work?
Crossroads is a resource network. We take goods Hong Kong doesn’t want and give them to people who badly need them. We collect those goods and give them out in the welfare(福利)center in Hong Kong, Mainland China, elsewhere in Asia, Eastern Europe and Africa.   1 
2. Who do we help?
  2 They are grass-root groups who have seen a need and tried to meet it. They can’t get the job done without back-up, though, so our task is to help them do their task. Our warehouse is full of goods, from computers to high chairs, clothing to books, stationery to medical provision, cupboards to dining sets. They send us a list of their needs and we try to match it with the resource we have in stock.
3.   3 
Crossroads itself also operates on a low budget. We do not buy the goods we send. They are donated.   4  Nobody in our organization receives a salary. Even our full-time staff work on a voluntary basis.
Those that donate goods and services:
●Factories     ●Manufacturers
●Hospitals     ●Hotels
●Educational Institutions  ●Householders
●Transport Companies   ●Offices
●Other Charities
  5 While we receive large quantities of goods and there is never a short supply of requests for them, we are always in need of hands to help sort and prepare them for shipping．

A．One resource that we are always in need of is people．
B．So Crossroads is just that: a Crossroads between need and resource．
C．What can I do?
D．The welfare agencies we help do not run on large budgets．
E. How do we operate?
F. All volunteer work is done at our warehouse．
G.. Similarly, rather than raising funds for freight （貨運）, we ask transport companies to donate their services．

 讀寫任務(共1小題，滿分25分)

閱讀下面的短文,然后按照要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語短文。

The generation gap between students and teachers is becoming more significant with only 3.3 percent out of a survey group of 1,000 students from 30 key middle schools in the city saying they would be willing to tell their teachers of their inner thoughts.

In today’s educational environment, teachers are positioned to be the authority figure for learning instead of also becoming good friends in the life of students.

As only students with good marks in exams are considered the “ apples in the eyes” of the teachers, most students think their teachers to be partial (偏心).

“ I feel sad to hear such remarks”, said Yu Yi , a well-known special-class teacher.

She recalled that in the past, teachers and students would play basketball together or comment on the novels while sitting on the grass during a break. But today, study and good marks are the only topics of conversation between students and teachers.

“Schools are not only the place where knowledge is imparted (傳授) but also where students are taught how to be an upright person,” Yu said. “The success of a person is not merely determined by intelligence but also by emotional state. ”

Yang Xiong, director of the Juvenile Research Institute, said the educational system which focuses on examinations should be held to be substantially responsible.

       [寫作內(nèi)容]

       1. 以約30個詞概括學生不愿告訴老師內(nèi)心想法的原因;

       2. 以約120個詞就“現(xiàn)代師生關系”這個主題發(fā)表你的看法,包括如下要點:

( 1 ) 你是否愿意告訴老師你內(nèi)心的想法,為什么?

( 2 ) 你希望你與你的老師之間的關系是怎樣的,如何才能建立這種關系?

       [寫作要求]

1. 可以使用實例或其他論述方法支持你的論點，也可以參照閱讀材料的內(nèi)容，但不得直接引用原文中的句子；2. 標題自定；3. 文中不能出現(xiàn)考生真實姓名和學校名稱。

       [評分標準]     概括準確，語言規(guī)范，內(nèi)容合適，篇章連貫。
