20、ld, visiting the zoo was more a punishment than a treat. I didnt find the chimps tea parties funny, nor the bird shows entertaining. Feeding time for seals was less painful, but their performances still seemed like they belonged more in a circus. And I hated circuses, especially the animal acts men

21、teasing lions, girls balancing on elephants and monkeys playing football. I knew that every trick a circus animal did was unnatural, achieved through strict training and quite possibly cruelty.Happily, during my lifetime public attitudes and the law have changed. Circuses using wild animals are now

22、almost extinct, and zoos have definitely evolved. When my children were young, I occasionally took them to our local zoo. The elephants were in tiny cages and the gorillas looked bored as they sat peeling bananas and staring at teasing visitors. Each cage had a sign which listed the animals name and

23、 where it came from. But, back then, there was little information included about the environmental challenges they faced. As a result, environmentalists and animal lovers often oppose zoos. “Animals belong in the wild,” is a common and understandable complaint. But what do the animals themselves pre

24、fer? Generally speaking, zoo animals have a longer life. But you may protest they are not free. What? Free to be hunted and killed, free to die of hunger or thirst? Maybe sitting in a cage eating bananas isnt so bad.Not that such conditions are acceptable in modern zoos, due to the work of BIAZA, th

25、e British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums. These days every zoo requires BIAZAs approval to operate, and the association sets the standards, observes conditions in zoos and develops animal-research programmes, both in the UK and abroad. BIAZA also organises the animal exchanges between z

26、oos all over the world. Consequently, today, most zoo animals are born and raised in zoos, live in large, comfortable enclosures and are cared for by well-trained, knowledgeable and caring zoo employees. Of course its no substitute for living in the wild but unfortunately this isnt always possible.

27、Meanwhile, why not visit your local zoo and decide for yourself? 8. The passage is mainly about _.A. how zoos have improvedB. whether a zoo should be closed downC. a new environmental organisationD. the difference between zoos and circuses 9. From Paragraph 2, we can guess that the writer believes c

33、r been known to jump from it.So it was quite a shock when our teacher, Mr. Milton, announced that he would dive off the high board that very afternoon.Word of his questionable plan was already spreading through town as Mr. Milton swam out to the platform.

34、 there but even from such a distance the high board seemed almost to touch the clouds. Once at the top, he paced the enormously long board, then took some deep breaths and finally stood at edge.

35、te a long time, then he raised his arms, took one massive bounce and launched himself into a perfect dive. It was beautiful. He fell with perfect style for what seemed minutes.

When he was perhaps thirty feet above the water, he gave up on waving and spread his arms and legs wide, apparently hopi

37、ng that it would somehow slow his fall.It didnt.He hit the water at over six hundred miles an hour. The impact was so loud that it made birds fly out of their trees three miles away. I dont think he entered the water at all. He just bounced off it, about fifteen feet back into the air. After that, h

38、e lay still on the surface, spinning like an autumn leaf. He was brought to shore by two passing fishermen in a rowboat and placed on an old blanket where he spent the rest of the afternoon. Occasionally he accepted small sips of water, but otherwise was too shocked to speak. From head to toe, he wa

45、 it is too weak. We can better understand this debate if we learn more about the U.N. and its history. The U.N. was started for two reasons. First, when the idea was born, people all over the world were tired of war. They felt that there must be peaceful answers to the worlds problems. 17 The second

46、 reason was that modern science had developed new bombs and airplanes. 18 National borders were beginning to lose their meaning. Science would develop even more dangerous weapons in the future. Only an international organization would be able to control modern science. Franklin D. Roosevelt, U.S. Pr

47、esident at the time, believed that the Allies (联盟) should plan for peace before the war ended. On December 1, 1943, Roosevelt, Britains Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin from Soviet Union agreed to start an organization for world peace. 19 During the next year and a half, the idea of such an organ

48、isation was debated around the world. Then came the big day. On April 11, 1945, the first international meeting of the United Nations took place in San Francisco. The goal of the meeting was to write the U.N. Charter (宪章). All of the fifty-one nations at the meeting had their own ideas to offer for

49、the Charter. 20 Every nation present voted for the Charter. No one voted against it. A. After a long debate, a final Charter was agreed upon. B. The U.N. Charter is a beautiful piece of writing.C. They asked all countries, large and small, to join the organization.D. Even the smallest country on ear

50、th can have its voice heard. E. They also felt that only an international organization could keep world peace.F. These weapons made it almost impossible for a country to defend itself.G. Some people attack the organization because they think it is too powerful.解析：本文介绍了联合国成立的原因和历史。16.G考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能

51、力。根据上文说联合国一直是很受争议的，下文提到有些人觉得它太弱了，所以G选项说“有些人攻击这个组织，因为他们认为它太强大了”能够起承接作用，故选G。17.E考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。上文提到的联合国成立的原因之一是因为人们厌倦了战争，所以需有和平的答案来解决世界问题，所以E选项“他们还认为，只有一个国际组织可以保持世界和平”能够进一步解释说明联合国成立的原因之一，是人类对和平的向往，故选E。18.F考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。本段主要说明了由于科学发展了新的炸弹和飞机，国家的边界开始失去意义，只有一个国际组织才能控制现代科学。所以E选项“这些武器使一个国家几乎不可能保护自己”符合

52、语境，故选F。19.C考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。上文提到“罗斯福，英国丘吉尔温斯顿和斯大林的从苏联同意开始一建立个世界和平组织”，所以C选项“他们要求所有国家，无论大小，加入该组织”符合语境，故选C。20.A考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。前面提到“在接下来的一年半，建立这样一个组织的想法在世界各地被辩论”，以及最后一句话“每个国家都出席了这一宪章，没有人投反对票”可见他们达成一致，所以A选项“经过长时间的讨论，最终达成了一个最后的宪章”符合，故选A。答案：16.G 17.E 18.F 19.C 20.A 第二部分 英语知识运用 （共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每
