1．Gunman Adam Lanza shot and killed 20children in two classes of Grade One in Sandy Hook Elementary School．The only survivor（幸存者） is a six-year-old girl．She escaped by lying on the floor pretending to be killed．
After the accident，she ran out of the school building covered from head to feet with blood （血）．The first thing she said to her mother was，"Mommy，I was OK，but all my friends were dead，"Pasrtor（牧师） Jim Solomon told the ABC news's Lara Spencer this weekend，"I thought it was impossible for her to escape from being killed without others'help．She could behave so calmly in such a dangerous and frightening situation．She has wisdom beyond her age，for sure．"
The girl，whose name is not being written out for special reasons，was the first student to run out of the accident place at Sandy Hook，Solomon said．He said the young girl described the gunman to her mother in a way that only a young child could．"Well，she saw someone who she felt was angry，and someone who she felt was mad，"Solomon said．"Somehow，at that moment，thank God，she was able to act as if she were already dead and saved herself．And that is very unusual and admirable （令人钦佩的） for so young a girl．"she said．
There were 20students killed on Friday in Sandy Hook Elementary School，eight boys and 12girls．Six teachers were also killed．"Her parents told me that they couldn't stand the feeling of a survivor's guilt（负罪），because so many of their friends no longer have their children but they have theirs．"Solomon said．

19．How could we possibly think that keeping animals in cages in unnatural environments-mostly for entertainment purposes-is fair and respectful？
Zoo officials say they are concerned about animals．However，most zoos remain"collections"of interesting"things"rather than protective habitats （栖息地）．Zoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals bored，lonely，and far from their natural bones．
Zoos claim （声称） to educate people and save endangered species（物种），but visitors leave zoos without having learned anything meaningful about the animals'natural behavior，intelligence，or beauty．Zoos keep animals in small spaces or cages，and most signs only mention the species'name，diet，and natural range（分布区）．The animals'normal behavior is seldom noticed because zoos don't usually take care of the animals'natural needs．
The animals are kept together in small spaces，with no privacy and little opportunity for mental and physical exercise．This results in unusual and self-destructive behavior called zoochosis．A worldwide study of zoos found that zoochosis is common among animals kept in small spaces or cages．Another study showed that elephants spend 22percent of their time making repeated head movements or biting cage bars，and bears spend 30percent of their time walking back and forth，a sign of unhappiness and pain．
Furthermore，most animals in zoos are not endangered．Captive breeding（圈养繁殖）of endangered big cats，Asian elephants，and other species has not resulted in their being sent back to the wild．Zoos talk a lot about their captive breeding programs because they do not want people to worry about a species dying out．In fact，baby animals also attract a lot of paying customers．Haven't we seen enough competitions to name baby animals？
Actually，we will save endangered species only if we save their habitats and put an end to the reasons people kill them．Instead of supporting zoos，we should support groups that work to protect animals'natural habitats．
32．In the state of zoochosis，animalsB．
A．remain in cages
B．behave strangely
C．attack other animals
D．enjoy moving around
33．What does the author try to argue in the passage？B
A．Zoos are not worth the public support．
B．Zoos fail in their attempt to save animals．
C．Zoos should treat animals as human beings．
D．Zoos use animals as a means of entertainment．
34．The author tries to persuade readers to accept his argument mainly byA．
A．pointing out the faults in what zoos do
B．using evidence he has collected at zoos
C．questioning the way animals are protected
D．discussing the advantages of natural habitats
35．Although he argues against zoos，the author would still agree thatC．
A．zoos have to keep animals in small cages
B．most animals in zoos are endangered species
C．some endangered animals are reproduced in zoos
D．it's acceptable to keep animals away from their habitats．

18．Millions of people visit Yosemite National Park every year to see the tall waterfalls and mountains．These mountains are a splendid sight when viewed from the valley floor．Lots of stores，hotels，and restaurants are needed to handle the crowds．Also，water，roads，and other service systems are part of the infrastructure （基础设施） that must be maintained．
Unfortunately，these systems are starting to break down．It's not just in Yosemite but in national parks around the nation．
Yosemite is thirty years old according to Dennis Galvin，a National Park Service worker．The Park is not only old but worn out．Two or three times as many visitors come every year．That is too many visitors for the park to deal with．
Four years ago a storm washed out a water pipeline in the Grand Canyon．The National Park Service had to send water trucks to provide water for the visitors．Last month pipes almost broke again and roads had to be closed for a while．
Why hasn't the National Park Service kept up the park repairs？There is a lack of money．The United States has 378monuments，parks，and wilderness areas．Between three and four billion dollars are needed for repairs．
Yosemite is one national park that does have money for repairs．It has two hundred million dollars but cannot spend it any way it chooses．When the park workers started widening the road，they were forced to stop by the Sierra Club．The club claimed that the road work was damaging the Merced River that runs through the park．
A sierra Club lawyer，Julia Olson，feels that the infrastructure needs to be moved out of Yosemite．That way less pressure will be put on the already crowded park．
25．According to the text，the mountains in Yosemite look most splendid when they are appreciated fromA．
A．the bottom of the valleys
B．the top of the mountains
C．the side of the mountains
D．the edge of the valleys
26．National parks like Yosemite in the U．S．find it increasingly difficult to meet the need of
visitors becauseC．
A．their transport management needs improving
B．they spend too much on their service systems
C．their service systems frequently go out of order
D．they need help from environmental organizations
27．The main problem of Yosemite National Park is itsB．
A．rundown water pipes
B．overcrowdedness
C．lack of money
D．narrow roads
28．According to the text，the Sierra Club is most likely to beA．
A．an environmental group
B．an information center
C．a travel service
D．a law firm．

13．Although most people know there are Seven Wonders in the Ancient world，only few people can name them．This is because most of them are no longer there except the pyramids．However，there is a growing list of wonders of the world today．About nine years ago，UNESCO's World Cultural and Nature Heritage （自然文化遗产） List had 411places and 136countries were responsible to protect them，and the list keeps on growing．
