17、s have been around for centuries and they've changed a lot over the years. In the Middle Ages, wealthy people kept animals in their gardens. Public animal parks appeared in European cities in the late 1700s and early 1800s. The Philadelphia Zoo, the first in the United States, opened in 1874. Until

18、 a few decades (十年) ago, most zoos were organized by creatures—monkeys in one area, cats in another, birds somewhere else, just like museum collections. In recent years, zoos have instead begun grouping animals that would normally interact (互相作用) in the wild. Moreover, instead of closing animals beh

19、ind bars, designers are creating landscapes like the environments in which these creatures would naturally be found. Nearby signs provide information about the animals and their habitats in parts of the world where they normally live. The Denver Zoo's new Predator Ridge exhibit, for example, aims t

20、o teach visitors about Africa. Eight acres of land provide homes for 14 animal species, including lions, porcupines, cranes, and wild dogs. Plants from the region grow alongside African-like landform. Ten-foot-tall mounds (土墩) give lions a place from which to survey their surroundings, just as they

21、would do in the wild. Landscape design makes visitors to the Denver Zoo's Predator Ridge exhibit feel like they're really in Africa.

22、he animals at once. Different species can see each other too. 文章大意：本文主要講了隨著時間的推移，動物園發(fā)生了很大的變化。由早期的僅僅存在于富人的公園到現(xiàn)在的野生動物園。 4．What is the passage mainly about? A．Protection of zoo animals.

A．protect the safety of visitors B．separate lions from other animals C．create a natural environment for lions D．offer visitors a better view of lions 答案：C　細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Ten-foot-tall mounds (土墩) give lions a

24、 place from which to survey their surroundings, just as they would do in the wild.可知Denver動物園，建造10英尺高的土墩是為了為獅子創(chuàng)造一個自然的環(huán)境，故選C。 6．The underlined part “the region” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to ________. A．Africa B．the Predator Ridge exhibit C．the Denver Zoo D．the ten-foot-tall mounds 答案：A　細節(jié)理

25、解題。根據(jù)The Denver Zoo's new Predator Ridge exhibit, for example, aims to teach visitors about Africa.可知“the region”指非洲，故選A。 7．We can learn from the passage that ________.

27、professors and the best academic system in the world. I was pretty shocked when I first stepped onto the campus. Well, it's not ever really a campus. It's a more like district in a small town. Harvard's main buildings are from the 18th century. They look very old and simple. You might even sa

28、y they're a little shabby (破舊的). They don't fit the modern idea of university at all. The buildings are surrounded by grass and trees, so I felt as if I had walked into a medieval castle. But when I looked across the street, busy shops and in-fashion students made me feel like I was in the 21st cent

29、ury again. It creates a strong contrast (對比) and brings a special atmosphere (氛圍) to the school. Our tour guide Gary took us around and told us: “You see this grass field in the center of the school? Here is where they host their graduation ceremony. They just set up tents and benches and have a ve

30、ry simple ceremony. Unbelievable! Who would think the most talented students just graduate on the lawn？” I saw some students put a blanket on the grass and lie down to read a book. When I listened to the soft sound of pages turning, along with chirping of the birds, I felt very calm. There was no c

31、ompetitive feeling at all. Harvard has the world's first computer in its science center and there are hundreds of high-end computers too. Its religion and the literature departments are also among the best. It is the perfect mix of tradition and new technology. It makes Harvard a very attractive p

32、lace to study in. I hope one day I'll attend my dream school—Harvard. 文章大意：這篇文章講述了作者參觀美國哈佛大學時的感受。 1．According to the article the author was most impressed by ________. A．Harvard's mix of tradition and new technology B．the classes held on beautiful lawns at Harvard C．Harvard students not taking

33、 their graduation ceremony seriously D．the feeling of not living in modern society on the campus 答案：A　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段內(nèi)容可知哈佛大學的建筑是18世紀的風格，而它街對面繁忙的商店和穿著時尚的學生又有現(xiàn)代氣息，因此它是傳統(tǒng)與現(xiàn)代的結合。故選A。 2．What can we conclude from the article? A．Harvard campus is actually a district of a big city. B．There are no compet

34、itions at Harvard University. C．Graduation ceremonies are not complex at Harvard. D．All Harvard buildings date back to the 18th century. 答案：C　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句“It's a more like district in a small town.”它更像是個小鎮(zhèn)，因此A錯誤 ；根據(jù)常識可知哈佛這種頂級學校競爭更厲害，因此B錯誤；根據(jù)第三段第一句“Harvard's main buildings are from the 18th century.”哈佛大學的主要建筑是從18世紀傳下來的，因此D錯誤；根據(jù)第四段的第三句可知C項正確。 3．Which word can be used to describe the Harvard campus? A．Modern. B．Competitive. C．Peaceful. D．Splendid. 答案：C　推理判斷題。閱讀全文可知哈佛大學歷史悠久，環(huán)境幽雅，舉行畢業(yè)典禮時更是簡單低調(diào)，因此給人一種平和感。故選C。
