The story happened when the group reached the lions area during a visit to the park. Just as they came up to a group of 12 lions, smoke suddenly began to come out of the engine. Helen was so scared that she pressed the horn to ask for help from the park workers, but then flames started to appear. The family was then faced with the dilemma of staying inside the car away from the lions or escaping the deadly fire. Fortunately, the lions were led into a nighttime enclosure(围栏) by the workers as the family made their escape from the car. With the family sent to the safety of the park office, the roads were cleared of cars so the fire service could put out the fire. No one was injured in any way and no lions were hurt. Helen said that it was not the workersfault. She said, “They were great.” Today speaking of the experience, Helen said: “Looking back at it, we can laugh, but at that very moment it was frightening. I think, Oh my goodness. Why did it happen in the lion enclosure? Why not while we were at the penguins, or the kangaroos? When the car was filled with more and more smoke and the flames were getting bigger, I was thinking about explosions, just like in films. Luckily we didnt think about the lions. The cars in front of us were kind of sheltering us from them, so we didnt really see how close they were. If we had been just 50 yards further along, it would have been a very different story.” 21. What does the underlined part “killer beasts” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A. The lions.B. The penguins.C. The flames.D. The kangaroos. 22. How did Helen feel when the car caught fire? A. Calm. B. Frightened. C. Excited. D. Angry. 23. What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A. The family were taken to the hospital after the accident. B. The fire service cleared the cars from the road after the fire. C. Helen didnt blame anyone for the accident. D. Helen thought the lions were great. 24. What can be inferred from the text? A. Helen is a very optimistic and imaginative woman. B. The family will never go to this park again. C. Helen still has nightmares about the accident today. D. Things would have been different if the lions were nearer. BThe following rules apply to the Cambridge University Library.

It is the Queens official and main royal London home. Buckingham Palace was originally a splendid house built by the Duke of Buckingham for his wife. George IV began changing it into a palace in 1826. It has been the official London home of Britains royal family since 1837. Buckingham Palace is also an office and used for the administrative work of the royal family. When the Queen is at home you can see her royal flag flying from the flag pole on top of Buckingham Palace. The flag is divided into four equal parts.

In flag protocol(礼仪), the Royal Standard which must only be flown from buildings where the Queen is present is supreme(至高无上的). It flies above the British Union Flag, and other British flags. It never flies at half mast(降半旗)The guards of the Palace wear red jackets and tall furry hats. When the first guards come on duty, there is a ceremony called the Changing of the Guard.

The palace has around 750 rooms, including 19 state rooms, 52 royal and guest bedrooms, 78 bathrooms, 92 offices, a cinema and a swimming pool. It also has its own post office and police station.

The newspaper said the scientists want to make sure that their astronauts return home in good health. But there are many problems to solve before people are ready for long trips to the Moon. Humans developed on a planet with a surface that is more than 70 percent water. Our bodies are also about 70 percent water. When there is no gravity, that water moves up toward the head, raising the pressure in the skull(头骨). Arms and legs grow weak at what is called zero gravity because they no longer need to push against the force of gravity. Five years ago, astronauts who spent weeks in space reported a change in their eyesight. These astronauts were members of the crew on the International Space Station. Research showed a change in the shape of their eyes. Normallyround eyeballs had become flat during the time in space. The research also showed that the right eye was affected more than the left, and that men were more affected than women. Scientists could not find an explanation for the differences. Bone loss was one of the problems first reported by astronauts returning to Earth after longer stays in space. So scientists designed exercise machines to use on the space station. Tests showed that the exercise equipment helped space travelers keep their bones almost as strong as when they left Earth. There are other health issues for astronauts who spend a long time in space. They may have problems eating and sleeping. But the biggest health issue is exposure to radiation. On Earth, human beings are protected by the atmosphere and the planets magnetic field (磁场). In outer space, there is no such protection. 32. What does the underlined word“planet”in the second paragraph refer to? A. Moon. B. Earth. C. Mars. D. Sun. 33. What will happen to people if there is no gravity? A. The water in the body will move down to the feet. B. The pressure in the skull will increase. C. The brain will grow weaker. D. The thinking will be slower. 34. What is the biggest problem that astronauts have to face? A. Sleeping. B. Eating. C. Listening. D. Radiation. 35. What is the text mainly about? A. A report about a trip to the Moon. B. How to keep healthy as astronauts. C. Some health problems astronauts face. D. How to protect themselves as astronauts. 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。（请将答案涂在答题卡的71-75的位置）Evaluating Sources of Health Information Making good choices about your own health requires reasonable evaluation. A key first step in bettering your evaluation ability is to look carefully at your sources of health information. Reasonable evaluation includes knowing where and how to find relevant information, how to separate fact from opinion, how to recognize poor reasoning, and how to analyze information and the reliability of sources. _71_Go to the original source. Media reports often simplify the results of medical research. Find out for yourself what a study really reported, and determine whether it was based on good science. Think about the type of study. _72_Watch for misleading language. Some studies will find that a behavior “contributes to” or is “associated with” an outcome; this does not mean that a certain course must lead to a certain result. _73_ Carefully read or listen to information in order to fully understand it.Use your common sense. If a report seems too good to be true, probably it is. Be especially careful of information contained in advertisements. _74_ Evaluate “scientific” statements carefully, and be aware of quackery(江湖骗术)_75_ Friends and family members can be a great source of ideas and inspiration, but each of us needs to find a healthy lifestyle that works for us.Developing the ability to evaluate reasonably and independently about health problems will serve you well throughout your life.AMake choices that are right for you.BThe goal of an ad is to sell you something.CBe sure to wor
