around a new zoo.If you are looking for some suggestions,the online review community TripAdvisor recently made a list of Americas top 10 zoos.You might be surprised that some of the nations most popular zoos are located in small or mid-sized cities around the country.The following are four of these top zoos.Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha Never heard of Henry Doorly Zoo?TripAdvisor reviewers didnt just rank it No.1 in the country,they ranked it the No.1 zoo in the world.There are various kinds of interesting activities and programmes in this zoo and its aquarium.You wont be disappointed if you visit it.San Diego Zoo in San Diego Considered by many people to be a special zoo,San Diego Zoo supports the concept of open-air,cageless shows that re-create natural animal environments,with different animal species living side by side.If you want to know how animals live naturally in the wild,dont miss it.Saint Louis Zoo in St.Louis It began as a single show during the 1904 Worlds Fair(世博会).Now it has grown to be Saint Louis Zoo with over 700 different animal species.If youve got little ones,dont miss this Childrens zoo.Memphis Zoo in Memphis This zoo has a history of over one hundred years.It is home to more than 3,500 animals representing over 500 different species,including the Giant Panda.In 2008,Memphis Zoo was chosen to be the No.1 zoo in the US on TripAdvisor.21.According to the passage,we know that Henry Doorly Zoo _.A.has an aquarium in it B.sits in a small city .is the largest zoo in the world D.has a history of over one hundred years 22.Why

23.Which zoo is the best choice for you and your kids to visit?_.A.Henry Doorly Zoo.B.San Diego Zoo C.Saint Louis Zoo D.Memphis Zoo B I should not have dressed up.Obviously,no other fifth grader had felt driven to celebrate the first day of school via fancy clothing.So I stood out not just as a newcomer,but as an awkwardly dressed one.Scratching at black tights with the toe of my sneaker,I paused uncertainly in the doorway of the Writing Room.Pausing uncertainly,however,was not the way of the world of Mr.Matthews.This red-haired,red-beard,red-faced man seemed to call wildly to me to enter.I walked over to a seat and in three minutes of casual observation was convinced that I had never known an adult like him.He laughed from his belly,moved his ears on request,and his face then turned even redder.His students loved him;it was evident from the way they greeted him to the way they relaxed when they entered his room.On the contrary,I was not relaxed.I was uninterested in writing.My only previous writing experience had been in cloth-covered books with more room for pictures than print.I had no idea what to expect from a class that was just called“Writing”,but I was certain I wasnt going to like it.Yet Mr.Matthews spent that first class entertaining us.He told stories,jokes,and then ended the class early,making us have a rest.Our homework to write about the best part of summer seemed almost an afterthought for him.However,I was seized by a desire to do my homework.It wasnt anything specific he had said in class that day,but the way he had acted.I wanted this man to like and approve of me,and the quickest way to earn this was through my writing.That night,despite having dealt with a word processor all of twice in my life,I wrote with passion.Proudly handing it in the next morning,I was sure it was the best thing Id ever written.For the rest of the year,this one-man audience inspired me to improve continuously.The fifth grader would never have guessed that,six years later,writing would become a voluntary,daily activity,flowing from journals to emails to poetry workshops to newspapers.All because she wanted to win a crazy teachers favor!24.Why did the author hesitate to enter the Writing Room？_.A.Because she observed her classroom carefully B.Because she was overdressed for her first school day C.Because she was laughed about her appearance at school D.Because she made a new friend outside the Writing Room 25.What was the authors attitude towards writing before she entered Mr.Matthews classroom?_.A.Favorable but not good at it B.Uninterested and without experience C.Relaxing and want to try D.Proud and do a good job 26.What was the authors impression of Mr.Matthews?_.A.Shy and sensitive B.Brave and smart C.Strict and punctual D.Funny and interesting 27.What mainly caused the author to work hard on her first writing homework？_.A.Her wish to impress her teacher B.Her great future job goal C.Her teachers encouragement D.Her excellent writing skills C Do American children still learn handwriting in school?In the age of the keyboard,some people seem to think handwriting lessons are on the way out.Ninety percent of teachers say they are required to teach handwriting.But studies have yet to answer the question of how well they are teaching it.One study published this year found that about three out of every four teachers say they are not prepared to teach handwriting.Some teachers are teaching handwriting by providing instruction for 10 15 minutes a day,and then other teachers basically teach it for 60 70 minutes a day-which really is pretty much for handwriting.Many adults remember learning that way-by copying letters over and over again.Todays thinking is that short periods of practice are better.Many experts also think handwriting should not be taught by itself.Instead,they say it should be used as a way to get students to express ideas.After all,that is why we write.Handwriting involves two skills.One is legibility,which means forming the letters so they can be read.The other is fluency-writing without having to think about it.Fluency continues to develop until high school.But not everyone masters these skills.Teachers commonly report that about one fourth of their kids have poor handwriting.Some people might think handwriting is not important any more because of computers and voice recognition programs.But Steve Graham at Vanderbilt University says word processing is rarely done in elementary school,especially in the early years.American children traditionally first learn to print,and then to write in cursive,which connects the letters.But guess what we have learned?More than 75 per cent of students choose to print their essays on the test rather than write in cursive.28.What can we learn from Paragraph 1?_.A.Teaching handwriting is a basic requirement in the teaching job B.Most teachers prefer to teach handwriting C.Teachers spend little time in teaching handwriting D.The keyboard has taken the place of the handwriting entirely 29.Which of the following is WRONG for traditional handwriting in the USA?A.The students are taught by practising for a long period.B.The letters are repeated many times.C.Handwriting includes two skills.D.To write in cursive is taught first.30.The best title for the passage is _.A.How to improve handwriting in school B.Right or wrong:the death of handwriting C.Handwriting involves two skills D.Handwriting lessons are on the way out 31.The authors attitude towards whether to still learn handwriting in school is_.A.negative B.objective C.critical D.unconcerned D October 15th is a Global Handwashing Day.Activities are planned in more than 20 countries to get millions of people in the developing world to wash their hands with soap.For example,donors will give 150,000 bars of soap to schools in Ethiopia.Experts say people around the world wash their hands,but very few use soap at so-called important moments.These include after using the toilet,after cleaning a baby and before touching food.Global Handwashing Day is the idea of the Public Private Partnership for Handwashing with Soap.Partners include the United Nations Childrens Fund,American government agencies,the World Bank and soap makers Unlever and Producer&Gamble.The organizers say all soap is equally effective at removing disease-causing germs(细菌).They say the correct way to wash is to wet your hands with a small amount of water and cover them with soap.Rub it into all areas,including under the fingernails.Rub for at least twenty seconds.Then rinse well under running water.Finally,dry your hands with a clean cloth or wave them in the air.The partnership for Handwashing says soap is important because it increases the time that people spend in washing hands.Soap also helps to break up the dirt that holds most of the germs.And it usually leaves a pleasant smell.The Partnership for Handwashing also says washing with soap before eating or after using the toilet could save more lives than any vaccine（疫苗）or medicine.Handwashing could also prevent the spread of other disease.When people get germs on their hands,they can infect themselves by touching their eyes,noses or mouths.Then they can infect others.32.Whats the main purpose of this passage?_.A.To explore new ways of washing hands B.To find why washing hands carefully is so important C.To introduce hand washing is so important for it gets a day of its own D.To teach readers if they want to live a longer life,wash their hands 33.The word rinse in Paragraph 3 probably means _.A.to dry your hands B.to wash away the soap C.to rub your hands carefully D.to clean your fingers 34.The last paragraph mainly tell us _.A.how to wash your hands correctly B.why washing hands with soap is so important C.the dangers of washing hands without soap D.when we should especially wash our hands with soap 35.In which part of newspaper would you most probably read this passage?_.A.Medical care B.Public service C.Health report D.Advertisement 第二节 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。In high school,its important to stay healthy.36 How can you study well if you are
