摘要: Give Up Smoking Smoking is a widespread habit even among school children. The number of young smokers is increasing. It is reported that over two-fifths of the students in a certain school smoke, and some of them even steal money to buy cigarettes, This is terrible. As we all know, smoking is harmful to our health. But it’s even more harmful to middle school students for it does great harm not only to their health but also to their mind. Middle school students are future builders of the country. They should spend their time learning what is useful. So it’s really time that these young smokers made up their minds to give up smoking. 翰林汇

阅读下面短文,从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

  Name a female celebrity who is 5'2" and weighs 280 pounds.

  Give up? It's Koko, the world's best known living gorilla(大猩猩).

  Koko is impressive. But it's her brains, not physical strength, that have earned her fame. This ape is smart!

  Koko was born on July 4, 1971. As a baby at the San Francisco Zoo, she was introduced to Francine “Penny” Patterson, a graduate psychology student specializing in communication. Penny wanted to try to teach Koko sign language. The zoo gave her the green light.

  Under Penny's guidance, Koko eventually mastered over a thousand words in a certain form of American Sign Language. Surprisingly, Koko also demonstrated she could combine these signs to express thoughts and feelings. Both she and Penny soon became media favorites. But the experiment led to another unexpected result: Penny and Koko developed a deep emotional bond.

  No one was more amazed by this than Penny.“I was expecting an animal project and thought I could easily leave it after four years,” she admits. “But what I ended up with was a daughter. And you can't leave your daughter after four years.”

  In 1976 Penny and others founded The Gorilla Foundation. TGF's mission is to “bring interspecies(物种间) communication to the public, in order to save gorillas from dying out, and call on our children to create a better future for all the great apes”. Since then, TGF has fought hard to prevent the hunting of gorillas for meat.

  As the numbers of wild gorillas are few, Koko remains childless. She has rejected all suitors(求婚者) so far, focusing her love as a mother instead on her cat, Smoky.

  Will Koko finally find “Mr. Right”? Only time will tell. Until then, Smoky is likely to remain the world's only cat who thinks of a gorilla as “Mom”!

A.it is not big enough since it has a height of 5'2" and a weight of 280 pounds

B.it is the only living gorilla in the San Francisco Zoo

[  ]

A.she loved animals and took Koko for her own daughter

B.the zoo gave her the permission to train Koko

C.she worked for many years in the zoo and knew Koko well enough

D.she was specialized in communication

3.The underlined words “emotional bond” may have the meaning of ________.

[  ]

A.mother-daughter love

B.trainer-learner care

C.human-animal friendship

D.gorilla-cat relationship

4.Which statement of the following is not mentioned in the passage?

[  ]

A.Penny did not expect it would be hard for her to part Koko after four years' experiment.

B.Penny set up TGF in order to protect gorillas from being killed.

C.Smoky has all the time looked on Koko as her mother.

D.Koko will find “Mr. Right” when she is set free into the wild.
