【題目】 When you were trying to figure out what to buy for the environmentalist on your holiday list, fur probably didn’t cross your mind. But some ecologists and fashion (時裝)enthusiasts are trying to bring back the market for fur made from nutria(海貍鼠).

Unusual fashion shows in New Orleans and Brooklyn have(showcased)nutria fur made into clothes in different styles. “It sounds crazy to talk about guilt-free fur-unless you understand that the nutria are destroying vast wetlands every year”, says Cree McCree, project director of Righteous Fur.

Scientists in Louisiana were so concerned that they decided to pay hunters $5 a tail. Some of the fur ends up in the fashion shows like the one in Brooklyn last month.

Nutria were brought there from Argentina by fur farmers and let go into the wild. “The ecosystem down there can’t handle this non-native species(物種).It’s destroying the environment. It’s them or us.” says Michael Massimi, an expert in this field.

The fur trade kept nutria check for decades，but when the market for nutria collapsed in the late 1980s，the cat-sized animals multiplied like crazy.

Biologist Edmond Mouton runs the nutria control program for Louisiana. He says it’s not easy to convince people that nutria fur is green, but he has no doubt about it. Hunters bring in more than 300,000 nutria tails a year, so part of Mouton’s job these days is trying to promote fur.

Then there’s Righteous Fur and its unusual fashion. Model Paige Morgan says，”To give people a guilt-free option that they can wear without someone throwing paint on them-1 think that’s going to be a massive thing, at least here in New York.” Designer Jennifer Anderson admits it took her a while to come around to the opinion that using nutria fur for her creations is morally acceptable. She trying to come up with a lable to attach to nutria fashions to show it is eco-friendly.

【1】What is the purpose of the fashion shows in New Orleans and Brooklyn?

A.To promote guilt-free fur.

B.To expand the fashion market.

C.To introduce a new brand.

D.To celebrate a winter holiday.

【2】Why are scientists concerned about nutria?

A.Nutria damage the ecosystem seriously.

B.Nutria are an endangered species.

C.Nutria hurt local cat-sized animals.

D.Nutria are illegally hunted.

【3】What does the underlined word “collapsed” in paragraph 5 probably mean?

A.Boomed.B.Became mature.C.Remained stable.D.Crashed.

【4】What can we infer abouf wearing fur in New York according to Morgan?

A.It’s formal.B.It’s risky.C.It’s harmful.D.It’s traditional.

【題目】 When “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” was first shown to the public last month, a group of excited animal activists gathered on Hollywood Boulevard. But they weren’t there to throw red paint on fur-coat-wearing film stars. Instead, one activist, dressed in a full-body monkey suit, had arrived with a sign praising the filmmakers: “Thanks for not using real apes (猿)!”

The creative team behind “Apes” used motion-capture (動作捕捉) technology to create digitalized animals, spending tens of millions of dollars on technology that records an actor’s performance and later processes it with computer graphics to create a final image (圖像). In this case, one of a realistic-looking ape.

Yet “Apes” is more exception than the rule. In fact, Hollywood has been hot on live animals lately. One nonprofit organization, which monitors the treatment of animals in filmed entertainment, is keeping tabs on more than 2,000 productions this year. Already, a number of films, including “Water for Elephants,” “The Hangover Part Ⅱ” and “Zookeeper,” have drawn the anger of activists who say the creatures acting in them haven’t been treated properly.

In some cases, it’s not so much the treatment of the animals on set in the studio that has activists worried; it’s the off-set training and living conditions that are raising concerns. And there are questions about the films made outside the States, which sometimes are not monitored as closely as productions filmed in the States.

【1】Why did the animal activists gather on Hollywood Boulevard?

A.To see famous film stars.

B.To oppose wearing fur coats.

C.To raise money for animal protection.

D.To express thanks to some filmmakers.

【2】What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?

A.The cost of making “Apes.”

B.The creation of digitalized apes.

C.The publicity about “Apes.”

D.The performance of real apes.

【3】What does the underlined phrase “keeping tabs on” in paragraph 3 probably mean?

A.Listing completely.

B.Directing professionally.

C.Promoting successfully.

D.Watching carefully.

【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph about animal actors?

A.They may be badly treated.

B.They should take further training.

C.They could be traded illegally

D.They would lose popularity.

【題目】 With an improved economy，many travelers have been buying first or business class seats，leaving fewer for upgrades（升級）.Here are some strategies for getting a free upgrade.

1. Fly a lot.

This is the most common way to earn a free upgrade. Most airlines reserve some spaces for travelers who fly at least 5，000 miles per year. Five years ago，this meant half or more of domestic（國內(nèi)的）first class travelers sat up front for free. But now，airlines are selling more high-price seats，so on popular routes it is not unusual for more than 20 travelers to compete for one or two upgrades. But on routes with fewer business class travelers，free upgrades remain more plentiful.

2. Use miles.

If you're not a frequent traveler but still have some miles to fly，you may be able to use them for an upgrade. Be careful，though，as many airlines now ask not just for miles but also a cash co-pay. One example: on flights to Europe，American Airlines charges 5，000 miles，plus $110，for a one-way upgrade from discounted economy class to business class. For most domestic upgrades，American Airlines wants 15，000 miles plus $ 75.

3. Get lucky.

Sometimes airlines overbook coach（經(jīng)濟(jì)艙），and a few travelers get no seats. Agents try to ensure the airline's most loyal travelers get the nod（被選中）. Agents usually have some flexibility to make sure the plane is full and takes off on time. So it's the easiest way for them to do it-they might upgrade someone else out of order.

4. Save a life.

Flight attendants don't usually upgrade passengers, even when empty seats remain. Doctors and nurses who answer an emergency call are sometimes an exception. If they comfort a passenger, flight attendants might allow them to sit in business or first class for the rest of the flight.

【1】What might be the main topic of the passage?

A. The ways to get upgraded on a plane.

B. How to get on the flight safely and on time.

C. The best ways to get free flight tickets.

D. How to save a life on a plane quickly.

【2】Who can have the chance to get a free upgrade?

A. The person who always obeys the rules on the flight.

B. The person who doesn't have to look after a patient.

C. The person who is a friend of the flight attendants.

D. The person who flies a lot and has a long flying distance.

【3】Why might medical personnel be allowed to sit in business or first class sometimes?

A. Because they would like to talk with flight attendants kindly.

B. Because they want to have a better rest after a long journey.

C. Because they need to treat a passenger who is in emergent condition.

D. Because they are tired of staying with common passengers.

【4】Where can we find the passage?

A. A life guide.B. A travel guide.

C. A shopping guide.D. A pilot guide.

Last Friday our school hold a sports meeting successfully. As a sports lover, I took a active part in it. Of so many kinds of events, I signed up for the 800-meters running race. I took it for granted that I would win the race, because I thought it was my strong point. Beside, I had spent much time making preparations for it. However, much to my surprise, I was just on the point of arriving the finishing line while a boy went ahead of me. The boy, that was running so fast, finally got the first prize. At that moment, I couldn’t help feel a little disappointed. But under the help of my teachers and classmates, I cheered up soon. Although I missed the chance to get the first prize, but I benefited a lot from the experience.
