Anyone can become a volunteer if he/she agrees to help the elephant keepers with tasks.Daily tasksGather the elephants at 6:30 a.m. Take them to look for food in the forest. Clean the enclosure. Swim with the elephants in the lake in the afternoon. If volunteers want to relax after work, they can watch satellite television.How this vacation helpsIf these elephants hadnt been rescued, they would still be living on the streets of Bangkok. A rural environment is much better for them than an urban environment where there is lots of pollution.Gorilla Safari Countries: Kenya, Rwanda, UgandaDepartures: Aug.Dec., 23 departures per month Extra: gorilla permit 220If youre lucky, youll see lions, elephants and rhinos on safari. The highlight of the trip is the opportunity to see gorillas in the mountain forests. However, you must be in good healthif a gorilla caught a cold, it would be extremely harmful to its whole family.How this vacation helpsThere are only about 600 mountain gorillas left in the world as human activities have reduced the area where they can live. When you buy a permit, this will pay for the protection of the national park.Polar Bear Watching Country: CanadaDepartures: sixty trips between Oct. 1Nov. 19Every October and November, groups of polar bears gather in Hudson Bay. As they are normally lonely creatures, this is unusual.

But he could neither realize his Confucian ideal to serve the country nor find spiritual freedom in Taoism (道教), so he could only chant poetry and drink wine to drown his sorrow as described by Du Fu in Eight Immortal Drinkers. Here we see the tragedy (悲剧) of a genuine staying lonely on earth like an angel fallen from Heaven. His poetry is marked by male greatness in the Waterfall in Mount Lu Viewed from Afar, in which we see the mountain cloud from down below and the Silver River, Chinese name for the Milky Way, fall from on high, and heaven and earth seem to merge into one, that is the Chinese way of communion with nature. In his poetry, we can find his love of nature, of freedom, of the people, of his friends, in short, of truth, good and beauty.Li Bai is best known for the extraordinary imagination and striking Taoist imagery in his poetry, as well as for his great love for liquor. Like Du Fu, he spent much of his life travelling, although in his case it was because his wealth allowed him to, rather than because his poverty forced him. He is said to have drowned in the Yangtze River, having fallen from his boat while drunkenly trying to embrace (拥抱) the reflection of the moon.24. According to the passage the statements are about Li Bai EXCEPT _.A. he made the poems in which complaints and dissatisfaction could be shownB. he could not put his ability to good use in serving his country at that timeC he had a depressed mental state and only drunk wine and chanted poetryD. he is a representative of the combination of realistic and romantic culture25. From the poem the Waterfall in Mount Lu Viewed from Afar we can see that _.A. the Silver River ran down from the high mountainB. the cloud was like waterfall from high heavenC.

In his poetry Li Bai mainly described _.A. criticism of social realismB. beautiful nature and feelingsC. relationship between different classesD. cruelty of the officialdom27. What is this passage mainly about?A. The travelling experiences while Li Bai made poems.B. The differences between romantic and realistic culture.C. The extraordinary characteristics of Li Bais poems.D. The introduction to a famous poet in Tang Dynasty Li Bai.CThe Internet, search engines, virtual worlds. Have you ever got the feeling that youre living in a science fiction?Well, indeed you are.For more than a century, inventors have been driven to create what sci-fi writers have imagined long before. Buck Rogers inspired a generation of scientists excited about space exploration. Ray Bradbury predicted home-theater systems. William Gibson dreamed up the Internet while writing Neuromancer on a typewriter. Not long after him, Neal Stephenson predicted virtual worlds in his 1991 novel Snow Crash. One of his readers was Philip Rosedale, who loved it so much that he wanted to build a virtual world based on it.By the late 1990s, technology caught up to the novel, and Rosedale built the virtual world Second Life based on the “Metaverse” from the novel. With 1 million active users, Second Life offers virtual shops, bars, houses and even virtual television studios with virtual celebrities (名人) on virtual talk shows.“I think it is pretty much what I imagined,” Stephenson says. “I just shoot for the stars, while he makes great things happen.”But Snow Crash is a dark book. The world in the novel is filled with criminals, violence and environmental problems.“Science fiction not only puts stars in our hands, it also helps us see the meaning of our work,” Philip Rosedale admits. “It makes it possible for us to see what all of our efforts could eventually lead to.”In fact, most science fiction authors admit that their work is usually cautionary (警示性的). “While the inventors are rushing ahead and excited about this possibility or that possibility, were always standing there warning, Hang on just a second. Lets think about this a little more” author William Gibson says. “But most of them will ignore you because they think they already know all things about any given hot topic of the day. But if you can convince them that youre talking about a planet millions of miles away and hundreds of years in the future or the past, you can actually get them to examine more closely whats going on right now.”28. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A. Book review.B. Economy.C. Technology.D. Psychology.29. Who was inspired by Neal Stephensons work?A. Buck Rogers.B. William Gibson.C. Ray Bradbury.D. Philip Rosedale.30. What does Neal Stephenson say about Second Life?A. He is satisfied with the “Metaverse”.B. It is a very violent virtual world.C. It is not based on his fiction strictly.D. More activities should be added to it.31. What does William Gibson mean in the last paragraph?A. Sci-fi writers are much wiser than inventors.B. Most inventors do not respect sci-fi writers.C. People can easily get excited about the inventions.D. Sci-fi can help inventors to think more carefully.DWe live in a world where we want everything instantly. In this instant world it is hard to succeed in anything. To achieve your goal, you first have to change your life from instantly to persistently (坚持地).Persistence is the course you need to set. When you change your expectancy from instantly to persistently you will gain an advantage of time that many do not have. Time works against those who live instantly. Opportunities are never seen because when something doesnt happen instantly people move on to the next thing on their list and consider the current goal a failure.Persistent people have the advantage of time. It allows them to step back, observe and assess the progress of the goal they are pursuing. Some things take longer to develop; some just need to be left there for a while to find their own way.When you live instantly you gain and lose instantly. Many times, you do not know how you got there or how to get back because it is not repeatable. When you live persistently you learn how things work, how to correct a plan and how to guide it to make it successful. You do not panic because you know you have more than enough time.Slow down and take time to enjoy the journey. If what you are doing is not fun then stop doing it and do something else.Everything you do should be in pursuit of a better tomorrow than you had yesterday. You should take time to develop your abilities to reach your goals. Do not get discouraged just because your success is not instant.Celebrate each step along the way. People who live instantly dont take time to appreciate what they have accomplished. They are just looking for the next thing that they can get instantly.You must be grateful for the time it takes to reach your goal. Persistence will get you there if you really want to get there.32. Why will people who want things instantly fail in many things?A. They dont stick to their goal.B. They often change their lifestyle.C. They want greater efficiency.D. They tend to pursue a higher target.33. Whats the main advantage persistent people have over instant people?A. The willpower.B. A plan.C A target.D. An opportunity.34. According to the text, persistent people _.A. work slower than instant peopleB. will get rewarded for their effortsC. focus more on the resultD. dont appreciate what they have done35. Whats the writers main purpose of writing the text?A. To praise those who have succeeded.B. To suggest learning the art of persistence.C. To blame those who live instantly.D. To persuade people to live happily.第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Is Fresh Air Really Good for You?We all grew up hearing people tell us to “go out and get some fresh air.” _36_According to recent studies，the answer is a big YES，if the air quality in your camping area is good._37_ If the air youre breathing is clean-which it would be if youre away from the smog of cities-then the air is filled with life-giving, energizing oxygen. If you exercise out of doors, your body will learn to breathe more deeply, allowing even more oxygen to get to your muscles (肌肉) and your brain.Recently, people have begun studying the connection between the natural world and healing (治愈). _38_ In these places patients can go to be near nature during their recovery. It turns out that just looking at green, growing things can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and put people into a better mood (情绪).Greenery is good for us.
