Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and then mark thecorresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET.Passage OneMy love of nature goes right back to my childhood, to the times when I stayed on my grandparents farm in Suffolk.I think it was my grandmother who encouraged me more than anyone： she taught me the names of wildflowers and gotme interested in looking at the countryside, so it seemed obvious to go on to do Zoology at university.I didnt get my first camera until after Id graduated, when I was due to go diving in Norway and needed a methodof recording the sea creatures I would find there. My father didnt know anything about photography, but he bought mean Exacta, which was really quite a good camera for the time, and I went off to take my first pictures of seaanemones(海葵)andstarfish(海星). I became keen very quickly, and I learnt how to develop and print.Ive tried from the beginning to produce pictures which are always biologically correct. There are people who willalter things deliberately: you dont pick up sea creatures from the middle of the shore and take them down to attractivepools at the- 03 -bottom of the shore without knowing youre doing it.There can be a lot of ignorance in peoples behavior towards wild animals and its a problem that more and morepeople are going to wild places: while some animals may get used to cars, they wont get used to people suddenlyrushing up to them. The sheer pressure of people, coupled with the fact there are increasingly few places where no oneelse has photographed, means that over the years, life has become much more difficult for the professional wildlifephotographers.Nevertheless, wildlife photographers play a very important part in educating people about what is out there andwhat needs conserving. Although photography can be an enjoyable pastime, as it is to many people, it is also somethingthat plays a very important part in educating young and old alike.31.The author decided to go to university and study Zoology because.A. she wanted to improve her life in the countrysideB. she was persuaded to do so by her grandmotherC. she was keen on the natural worldD. she wanted to stop moving around all the time32.How is the author different from some of the other wildlife photographers she meets?.A.She tries to make her photographs as attractive as possibleB.She takes photographs which record accurate natural conditionsC.She likes to photograph plants as well as wildlife.D.She knows the best places to find wildlife.33.The author now finds it more difficult to photograph wild animals because.A. there are fewer of them B. they have become more nervous of peopleC. it is harder to find suitable placesD. they have become frightened of cars34.According to the author, wildlife photography is important because it can make people realize that.A. photography is an enjoyable hobbyB. we learn little about wildlife at schoolC. it is worthwhile visiting the countrysideD. it is important to look after wild animals35.Which of the following describes the author?.A.

It has bred enterprises that grow and change withastonishing speed, creating millionaires and invigorating the economy.

People drink more tea than any other drink in the world,except for water.Whether its served hot or cold, natural and flavored teas are drinks that have been consumed for centuries.Everywhere you look, youll find various kinds of teas- in restaurants, grocery stores, television advertisements, and giftshops.Why is there all this excitement about tea? Whats its attraction? Well, there are many possibilities for why moreand more people are drinking tea. One possibility is that people are coming to notice the benefits of drinking tea,particularly green tea. Studies show that drinking four cups of green tea a day can reduce the risk of developing varioustypes of cancers, as well as heart disease.

It has also been linkedwith helping the body to rid itself of harmful materials, and green tea is thought to possibly protect against colds andParkinson(帕金森)disease.Another explanation for why people are drinking more tea may be due to the comforting process of just making acup of tea. The time it takes to prepare tea leaves in hot water and enjoy its gentle flavor forces drinkers to slow downand relax a while, making it the perfect way to improve a world where people are so crazy about cappuccino, a hotcoffee with milk in it.So, whether you drink tea, eat it in foods, wear it to smell good, or take it in pills, one thing is certain, the use of teais more than a trend-it is a habit of our past and if studies prove the benefits of its use, it will undoubtedly be animportant element of our future.46.Nowadays, among all the drinks in the world, tea is.A. the most widely consumed drinkB. as widespread as coffeeC. even more widely consumed than wuterD. the second most widely consumed drink47.The passage does not mentionas a possible benefit of drinking tea.A. preventing skin cancer B. helping the body to rid itself of harmful materialsC. curing Parkinsons diseaseD. reducing the risk of developing cancer48.It is good to drink tea because the time it takes to prepare a cup of tea.A. allows the tea leaves to absorb enough waterB. enables drinkers to relaxC. is suitable for people to get some newsD. can improve the quality of cappuccino49.The writer suggests that in the future people will probably.A. follow the trend and go on drinking teaB. drink more water than teaC. form the habit of eating tea leaves in foodsD. take tea as an important part of their life50.The passage is mainly about.A. the benefits of drinking teaB. the benefits of drinking coffeeC. using tea leaves in fortune tellingD.
