【题目】阅读下面短文，简要回答所给问题。
You may love to see tigers at the zoo. But what if you had to stay with one on a boat on the open sea for over 200 days? Life of Pi《少年派的奇幻漂流》, the movie from American Chinese director(导演), Li An, tells an amazing story.
Pi is a boy. He lives happily with his family in a beautiful Indian town. His father has a zoo, so Pi knows a lot about animals.
But one day, his father decides to move to Canada. He will sell all his animals there. The family begin to sail on the Pacific with all the zoo animals. But a big storm(暴风雨) hits their ship at night. Finally, Pi finds the only Survivors(幸存者) are himself and a large tiger called Parker on an 8-meter boat.
To keep himself alive, Pi has to keep feeding the tiger so that he does not get eaten. He tries to get on well with the tiger during a 227-day sail on the sea.
The movie is from a Canadian writer Yann Martel's book of the same name. The book has sold 7 million copies world-wide. It discusses not only hope but also relationship(关系) between humans and nature.
It took Li An four years to make the movie. He also used 3D for his first time. He hopes the movie will “make the people think”. Life of Pi opened in Chinese theaters on November 22, 2012.

【题目】阅读下面材料, 从每题所给的A, B, C, D四个选项中选出最佳选项。C
When you watch TV programs about wild animals, it is surprising to see how an antelope (羚羊) can run away from a strong lion. In the wild, everyone has his own way to protect himself. Even plants have their own ways to fight against their enemies.
Over millions of years, plants have developed their own way to protect themselves. Chemicals (化学物质) are used by plants to live. By making their leaves, flowers, roots and fruits poisonous (有毒的) to enemies, plants can fight back.
One such plant is the Golden Wattle tree. The British scientist David Cameron has found when an animal eats the tree's leaves, and the number of poisonous chemicals becomes more in the other leaves. "It's like the injured (受伤的) leaves telling the others to fight against the enemy together," he said.
The tree also sends messages to plants near it by giving out a special smell. Golden Wattle trees in the nearby 45 meters will get the message and produce more poison in 10 minutes. Now, if an enemy eats too many of the trees' leaves, he will die.
Every kind of plant is good at producing special chemicals. Animals that feed on plants or grass, like rabbits, can safely eat the leaves of one tree, but they may be hurt by its neighbor.
In this way, plants have not only developed their own way to protect themselves, but also shared it with others. So it's impossible for a single animal to damage even a small area of forest.
（1）What's the function (功能) of the first paragraph?
A.To use an example to lead to the main idea of the passage.
B.To show the structure (结构) of the passage.
C.To introduce how wild animals protect themselves.
D.To raise readers' interest on wild animals.
（2）If animals eat one Golden Wattle tree's leaves, the tree can ________.
A.kill the animals with a special smell
B.tell other trees to come to protect it
C.warn people to fight against the animals
D.send messages to the plants nearby to protect themselves
（3）How long can a Golden Wattle tree produce more poison when it gets the message from the plant 45 meters away from it?
A.For about an hour.
B.In ten minutes.
C.For fifteen minutes.
D.For more than ten minutes.
（4）What do you think of the plants' way to protect themselves?
A.It's bad for human beings.
B.It's good for forests.
C.It's helpful to some animals.
D.It's harmful to forests.
（5）What does the passage mainly talk about?
A.The examples of protecting forests.
B.The balance between animals and plants.
C.The ways of plants fighting against enemies.
D.The relationship between lions and antelopes.

【题目】阅读下面材料, 从每题所给的A, B, C, D四个选项中选出最佳选项。B
A small, white envelope(信封) stuck among the branches of our Christmas tree and it has been there for the past ten years or so.
It all began because my husband Justin hated Christmas—oh, not the true meaning of Christmas. Overspending was one thing, but compared to the difficult experience of choosing gifts—running around at the last minute to get a tie for Uncle Harry and a pair of gloves for Grandma…… spending money is nothing. I felt too tired to think of any special gifts.
Knowing Justin felt the same way, I decided one year not to buy the usual shirts, sweaters, ties and so on. I reached for something special just for Justin. The inspiration came in an unusual way.
Our son Kevin, who was 12 that year, was wrestling(摔跤) at the junior level at the school he attended; and shortly before Christmas, there was a match against a team sponsored(赞助) by an inner-city church. These youngsters, dressed in such worn out shoes that shoe strings seemed to be the only thing holding them together, while our boys were in their blue and gold uniforms and new wrestling shoes.
As the match began, I was shocked to see that the other team were wrestling without wearing helmets(头盔) to protect their ears. Well, our boys ended up defeating them. We took every weight class.
Justin, seated beside me, shook his head sadly, "I wish just one of them could have won," he said. "They have a lot of potential(潜力), but losing like this could take the heart out of them." Justin loved kids-all kids, and he knew them, having coached little league football and baseball. That's when the idea for his present came. That afternoon, I went to a local sporting goods store and bought different kinds of wrestling helmets and shoes. I sent them to inner-city church without leaving my name.
On Christmas Eve, I placed the envelope on the tree, the note inside telling Justin what I had done and that was his gift from me. His smile was the brightest thing about Christmas that year and since then the envelope has become the highlight of our Christmas.
（1）Justin hated Christmas because .
A.he didn't enjoy receiving gifts
B.he had a hard time choosing gifts
C.he spent too much money buying gifts

（2）We know from the passage that the team sponsored by inner-city church .
A.were well dressed
B.paid no attention to safety
C.feared Kevin's team
D.couldn't afford a helmet
（3）How did Justin feel about the team's failure?
A.Upset.
B.Angry.
C.Hopeless.
D.Shameful.
（4）Why did the writer send gifts to the inner-city church without leaving her name?
A.To avoid being thanked.
B.To play a joke on Justin.
C.To give Justin a surprise.
D.To protect her private information.
（5）Which of the following can be the true meaning of Christmas according to the passage?
A.The church gift.
B.Wrestling helmets and shoes.
C.Love from the white envelope.
D.Justin's brightest smile.
