One day a mime(哑剧演员) is visiting the zoo and tries to earn some money as a street performer. As soon as he starts to draw a crowd, a zookeeper pulls him into his office. The zookeeper explains that the zoo’s most popular attraction, a gorilla(大猩猩), has died suddenly and the keeper fears that attendance(出席人数) at the zoo will fall off. He offers the mime a job to dress up as the gorilla. The mime accepts.
The next morning the mime puts on the gorilla suit and enters the cage before the crowd comes. He soon discovers he can sleep, play and make fun of people and he draws bigger crowds than he ever did as a mime — the job he likes but loses.
However, with days going by, he begins to notice that the people are paying more attention to the lion in the cage next to his. Not wanting to lose the attention of his audience, he climbs to the top of his cage, crawls across a partition(隔墙), and dangles(悬挂) from the top to the lion’s cage. The lion gets angry at this. The scene is a fuel to the crowd.
At the end of the day he is given a raise for being such a good attraction — well, this continues for some time. The crowds grow larger, and the mime’s pay keeps going up.
Then one day when he is dangling over the lion he slides and falls. The mime is terrified. He starts screaming “Help me!”, but the lion is quick. The mime soon finds himself flat on his back looking up at the angry lion and the lion says, “Shut up you fool! Do you want to get us both fired?”
1.The mime accepts the zookeeper’s offer because __________.
A. he has been out of work
B. he doesn’t like being a mime
C. he likes performing at the zoo
D. he is offered a higher pay there
2.How does the mime find the job dressing up as the gorilla?
A. Hard and tiring. B. Dangerous but exciting.
C. Easy and funny. D. Boring but well-paid.
3.The mime’s first contact with the lion is to __________.
A. find pleasure for himself B. get the lion’s attention
C. get his pay raised D. win back his audience
4.The underlined words “a fuel” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by __________.
A. frightening B. disappointing
C. exciting D. Familiar

One day last summer, watching the boys and girls trying to catch butterflies I remembered something happened when I was young. When I was a boy of 12 in South Carolina, something happened to me that cured me forever of wanting to put any wild creature in a cage.
We lived on the edge of a wood, and every evening the mockingbirds would come and rest in the trees and sing. No musician can sing more beautiful than the birds. I decided that I would catch a young bird and keep it in a cage and in that way would have my own private musician.
I finally succeeded in catching one and put it in a cage. At first, the bird flew about the cage, but eventually it settled down in its new home. I felt very pleased with myself and looked forward to some beautiful singing from my tiny musician.
I had left the cage out, and on the second day my new pet’s mother flew to the cage with food in her mouth. The baby bird ate everything she brought to it. I was pleased to see this. Certainly the mother knew better than I about how to feed her baby.
The following morning when I went to see how my bird was doing, I discovered it on the floor of the cage, dead. I was shocked! What had happened! I had taken good care of my little bird.
Arthur Wayne, the famousornithologist, happened to be visiting my father at the time. Hearing me crying over the death of my bird, he explained what had occurred. “A mother mockingbird, finding her young in a cage, will sometimes bring it poisonous (有毒的) berries(干果). She thinks it better for her young to die than to live in cage.”
Never since then have I caught any living creature and put it in a cage. All living creatures have a right to live free.
1.Why did the writer catch a mockingbird when he was a boy of 12?
A.He had just got a new cage.
B.He liked its beautiful feather.
C.He wanted a pet for a companion.
D.He wanted it to sing for him.
2.The mockingbird died because it ______.
A.drank the poisonous water by mistake
B.was frightened to death
C.ate the poisonous food its mother gave it
D.refused to eat anything
3.What is the most important lesson the writer learned from the incident?
A.Freedom is very valuable to all living things.
B.All birds put in a cage won’t live long.
C.You should keep the birds from their mother.
D.Be careful about food you give to baby birds.

One thing Britain is famous for is pubs, and no trip to the UK would be complete without a visit to one of the thousands of pubs across the country.
Pubs play an important part in the social structure of the country. They are places where all ages and social classes mix to talk, do business, or just spend a couple of quiet hours before heading home in the evening.
There are many different types of beer available in pubs. Traditional British beer is called bitter, or ale, and is usually served at room temperature. As a result, the British are famous for their ‘warm beer’! If you prefer a cold one, ask for lager. This beer is a light yellow in colour whereas bitter is usually a darker brown. All beers are served as pints (500ml) or halves (250ml). To order, you need to ask for a pint or half, and then name the beer. So, you could say “________.”
Wine, red or white, is normally available in all pubs, as are spirits such as whisky, gin or vodka. It is not, however, necessary to drink alcohol. Non-alcoholic drinks are called soft drinks. You can have juice, lemonade or cola, among others.
If you visit a pub in a group, it is important to pay for your ‘round’. This means that you buy a drink for everyone in your group. Not buying your round is a big social mistake! Remember that you need to order and pay for your drinks at the bar.
So, follow these tips if you want to get the most out of visiting a pub, and, “cheers!”
1..What is the text mainly about? (Please answer within 8 words.)
________
2... Complete the following statement with proper words.(No more than 4 words)
If you didn’t visit one of the pubs found across the country, your trip___________________.
3... Please list the three other names of Traditional British beer (Please answer within 5 words.)
________
4..Please fill in the blank in the third paragraph with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence. (Please answer within 10 words.)
_________________________________________________________________________
5.. What does the word “one” in the third paragraph probably refer to?
________________________________________________________________________
