A Day at the Nature Center

Emma stared(凝视) sadly out of the window of the bus. Only 50 miles outside town was the farm. She thought about the farm all the time, especially the animals.
When her family sold the farm and moved to nearby town Emma was excited. But when she got to the new school, she felt very lonely.

Emma didn’t have any friends yet—who would be her partner? Emma got close to Julia, a talkative and outgoing girl. “Could I be your partner?” Emma asked uncertainly.
“Sure,” said Julia warmly.
Together, the girls walked into the center. After the presentation, a keeper showed them how to hold the bottle of milk for baby squirrels. Then the girls started to feed their own baby squirrels.
After the babies finished eating the keeper asked, “Would you like to help feed the adult squirrels, too?”
Emma was quick to volunteer, but when the keeper opened the first cage, the squirrel inside jumped out. Emma remained calm(镇静的), held out her hand, made quiet sounds, and then quickly got it.
“Wow!” Julia said. “You’re always so quiet, I thought you were afraid of everything, but you were brave.”
“I know that when animals are frightened or excited, you have to stay calm.”
The keeper nodded in agreement and asked Emma, “Would you be interested in volunteering to help out with the animals at the center?”
“Interested? I would love to work here! What an opportunity!” Emma was excited.

It is reported that tea has helped the poor farmers in Yunnan find a way out of poverty（贫穷） thanks to the efforts of a man named Ren Huaican.
Ren was suffering mouth ulcers （溃疡） when he first visited the Jingmai Mountain in Pu'er City in the spring of 2006. However, after picking off several leaves from the old tea trees and chewing （咀嚼） them, he found the pain was gone the next morning. He felt very amazed. Ren began to show great interest in the tea from Yunnan. He found that the local tea business was very scattered （分散的）.He also realized that the local tea farmers were very poor because of the underdeveloped tea market. So he made up his mind to develop the tea industry in order to help the local people get out of poverty.
In September 2006, Ren set up a tea company. He hired（雇佣） poor farmers from neighboring areas to pick tea leaves.

I remember a time I went shopping on my first visit to Hongkong. Coming from cold and cloudy England, I prepared for the sun and dressed in a T-shirt and a short skirt. Not having many chances to enjoy the sun in the UK, my legs were very white. In the UK, this is not a fashionable look at all. Most women spend every sunny day out in the sun trying to get darker skin. The darker the skin is, the better the look is. I have tried to get darker but nothing works for me!
As I walked around one shop, two shop girls didn’t take their eyes off me the whole time, talking quietly to each other in Chinese. I began to feel uncomfortable and asked my friend if we could leave. After we left the shop, she asked me what was wrong. I complained（抱怨） about the shop girls being very rude and always looking at my legs. I was embarrassed that they were talking about my white skin. My friend laughed, “they weren’t laughing at you. They were saying how nice your legs are. Many Chinese women want to have white skin like yours. In fact, there are many beauty products in the shops to make skin white and a lot of money is spent on them."
It just goes to show that we are never happy with what we have. The grass is always greener on other side. If the woman of the west and east thought the same way, western women wouldn’t spend so much money on cream that makes skin darker and women from the east wouldn’t need to use cream that makes skin whiter.
39. The writer had white legs because __________.
A. She spent so much money on her legs
B. She lived in a cold and cloudy country

I had the meanest（最刻薄的）mother in the world. While other kids ate candy for breakfast, I had to have cereal（谷类食物）and eggs. When others had Coke and candy for lunch, I had to eat a sandwich. But at least I wasn't alone. My sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did.
My mother knew where we were at all times. She knew who our friends were.
We had to wear clean clothes and take a bath every day. The other kids got to wear the same clothes days.
We had to be in bed by 9:00 pm and up at 8:00 am. We couldn't sleep till noon like our friends. So while they slept, our mother gave us work to do. We had to wash dishes, make beds and learn to cook. I am sure she lay awake at night thinking up mean things to do to us.
Through the years, things didn't improve a bit. We could not lie in bed “sick” like our friends did in order to miss school.
My mother was the meanest mother. Out of four children, a couple of us went on to higher education. None of us have ever done bad things. She forced us to grow up into educated and honest people.

（十四）【 •浙江省嘉兴市中考】
It was last January, when I’d just finished a charity(慈善) and was on the train back home, that I put down my phone and started writing thank-you notes to people who had helped.
When I got off the train, I felt amazingly good. The next day, I wrote more thank-yous and the same feeling of happiness hit me again. I suddenly had the idea: Why not keep on doing this for every day of the year?
To keep on task, I decided to pick out a different theme for each month. January was charity.
February would be neighbors, I decided. And I thought of a number of names right away: the owner of our local bookstore, who let me and my little son in before the store opened and offered to play his favorite songs; our babysitter, who dropped off a bag of old board games for our kids to play; …
While writing the notes, I realized how often I had spent my time on the phone moving from app to app, appreciating(欣赏) other people’s lives. Writing thank-you notes allowed me the time to do something different, paying more attention to my own life.
In the following months, I wrote to my friends, doctors, teachers and parenting role models. In July, my “food” month, I wrote to Julie, who used to cook at my favorite restaurant. It went like this:
Dear Julie,
I’ve been finding myself missing you lately. Thank you for hosting and cooking beautiful and thoughtful food. Jake and I will never forget when you sent out biscuits shaped into the number VI for our sixth anniversary (周年纪念日）. We talk about it every year.
Thank you. We miss you.
Love,
Gina
I was happy to receive a note back from her. Julie replied, “I don’t think I’ve ever received such a touching letter before. I’m going through a hard time right now, and this helps.”
On December 31, I wrote my last card — to Jake, my husband, and our two kids. And I took a picture of us, so I could remember the feeling welling up inside me. Gratitude.
36. The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 means ________.
A. writing thank-you notes B. putting the phone away
C taking the train back home D. raising money for charity
37. How did Julie most probably feel after reading the note from Gina?
A Shy and surprised. B. Pleased and relaxed.
C. Nervous and excited. D. Moved and encouraged.
38. The theme of the December notes might be “________”.
A. photos B. family C. holidays D. community
39. What did Gina get by doing her task according to the passage?
A. Many thanks from her neighbors. B. More time to appreciate her own life.
C. More help from people around her. D. Happy moments to be with her friends.
40. The best title for the passage can be ________.
A. My Thank You Year B. An Amazing Trip
C. Happiness inside Us D. Important People in Our Life

It's late evening in the middle of the winter. The snow is deep, but off I go into the wild.
Suddenly I hear it: the howl（嚎叫)of wolves. Excitedly, I walk faster in the direction of the howling.
I've been working as a volunteer wolf tracker in Yellowstone National Park for over a year It's my job to follow wolves to record information about them. Like wolves, however, I don't work alone. I'm one of a team of people who have been in a project to help reintroduce wolves to the park.
Humans have always feared wolves. From fairy tales to movies, the wolf is always the bad guy —a danger to humans and other animals. In the 1920s, the organizers of the park shared this view about wolves and made the decision to drive them away from the park. As a result, the number of elk （麋鹿）in the park increased. The elk started looking for food near river banks since they didn't have to worry about wolves. This, in turn, stopped trees from growing along the rivers, doing great harm to the environment there.
The return of wolves has already made a big difference. To begin with, the elk soon learned to stay away from the rivers, so new trees have been able to grow there. The trees become home to new wildlife, such as birds, and provide food for more animals.
The park is now becoming more and more popular with those who want to see wolves in their natural environment. It has also helped the local people make more money. Tourists visit the area, stay in the local hotels, and eat in the local restaurants.
Looking at the wild animals and the beautiful sceneries around me, I am amazed at the changes the wolf has made to Yellowstone. And happily, it is playing a good guy in this story.
28. According to the passage, one of a wolf tracker’s jobs is to________.
A. catch wolves in the park B. feed wolves in the wild
C. stop wolves from killing elk D. collect information about wolves
29. Why did the organizers drive the wolves away from the park in the 1920s?
A. The wolves were always howling at night.
B. The elk in the park were in danger of dying out.
C. The wolves had done great harm to the environment.
D. The park was thought to be unsafe with wolves around.
30. Paragraphs 4 and 5 are mainly about the _______ that wolves have brought to Yellowstone.
A. risks B. troubles C. changes D. competitions
31. What does the writer mean by the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?
A. Wolves are important to Yellowstone. B. Yellowstone has been home to wolves.
C. The wolf and the elk live in peace now. D. The number of wolves is growing fast.

30.C【解析】段落大意题。A：风险；B：问题；C：改变；D：比赛。分析第四、五两段内容可知，之前狼被认为是危险的，但是狼的回归已经造成了很大的不同，狼相对而言减少了麋鹿的数量，这样树木就可以生长，也能为其他动物提供食物，此处强调“变化、改变”。故选C。
31.A【解析】推理判断题。A：狼对黄石公园很重要。B：黄石公园一直是狼群的家园。C：狼和麋鹿现在和平相处。D：狼的数量正在快速增长。分析本段内容可知，之前狼一直被认为是坏的，但是这次它在这个故事中扮演了一个“好人”，作者想要强调狼对黄石公园造成的好的影响，对黄石公园的重要性。故选A。
