21．（6分）Accommodation at University College Cork, Ireland
On-campus accommodation
UCC Campus accommodation is more than just a place to eat and sleep—it provides social, cultural and sporting shops and the chance to develop friendships that will last a lifetime. Our accommodation services are divided into our two areas of operation, one being the safe, modern accommodation for those studying during the academic year. The other one is the excellent summer accommodation for holiday or summer course visitors who are seeking what is a very special environment to stay in with every modern convenience but dipped in history and the atmosphere of one of Europe’s oldest and most highly regarded universities.
Rental Housing
This is where the student lives with a family and 1~5 other students and you get your breakfast, evening meal and light supper. Rates are available for both single and shared rooms, five days or seven-day board. Prices are set and no landlady can charge over this agreed rate. This is a very economical and safe accommodation option and particularly well suited to freshmen. Lists of landladies are available free from the Accommodation Office by post, fax and email.
Shared Student Housing
Available rooms are advertised in the Accommodation Office throughout the year. Updated lists of them are provided daily. Lifetime friendship is easily developed here.
Living with a Landlord
Usually this provides more mature students with a high standard of accommodation at reasonable rents, usually a little below the market price. Vacancies are advertised in the Accommodation Office throughout the year.
1、What is special about the environment of on-campus accommodation
A．It benefits freshmen a lot during holidays.
B．It is the most highly regarded accommodation in Europe.
C．It helps develop a lifelong friendship between roommates.

22．（8分） By the time Robert Porter Allen was born in 1905, the whooping crane(鸣鹤)was already in trouble. The beautiful bird was once commonly found across North America. By 1941, the whooping crane population had dwindled to the double digits. The tallest species in North America were critically endangered.
In the 1940s, the remaining cranes migrate(迁徙) every year from the Gulf Coast of Texas to somewhere in the north of Canada to breed(繁殖). The conservation community didn’t know where the birds went. The wetlands where they used to spend winters were growing rarer and rarer as they tiny, non-migrating group of whooping cranes was alive in Louisiana in 1941, but the group had disappeared by the time Allen started his research.
In 1942, Allen undertook the whooping crane project Over the next three years, he did almost constant field work that took him from Texas up the cranes' migration route to Nebraska, and on into Saskatchewan in search of the nesting ground of the birds.
Studying the bird in its breeding habitat and seeing how many birds were born would allow conservationists to understand how to help the birds on their journey. But finding the whooping crane 's nesting site meant difficult and fruitless air searches over northern Canada.
In 1952, Allen wrote a report on the whooping crane. The report was a warning call to the conservation community: only 33 migratory "whoopers" remained, and their nesting site still hadn’t been found. Two years later, the whooping cranes breeding grounds in Canada's Wood Buffalo National Park were finally found, and Allen headed north to study them firsthand, an "incredibly difficult journey, "in Sprunt’s words, Allen’s work laid the groundwork for conservationists to save the birds.
Their efforts paid off as the numbers reached 57 by 1970 and 214 by 2005.Today, the whooping crane is still listed as endangered, but there are roughly 600 birds alive.
1、What is the passage mainly about
A．It is a story about Allen’s searching for a lost bird.
B．It is a story about the cranes ,Long migration flight
C．It is a story about the crane surviving the winters.
D．It is a story about conserving the whooping crane
2、What does the underlined word “dwindled” mean in the first paragraph
A．Increased B．Reduced C．Stayed D．Limited
3、According to the Passage, which of the following is mainly responsible for what happened to the remaining whooping cranes？
A．Habitat loss B．Illegal hunting. C．Natural disaster. D．Deadly diseases.
4、Which of the following events took place in 1954
A．The non-migrating group of whooping cranes disappeared
B．Robert Potter Allen undertook the whooping crane project.
C．The whooping cranes breeding grounds were discovered
D．Robert Porter Allen wrote a report on the whooping crane.
23．（8分）Have you ever noticed how Americans fill up their entire glass with ice and then pour their beverage(饮品) in, but Europeans take their drinks at room temperature In the U. S., we’ve created fridges that give you cold ice at the press of a button, but in Britain they typically serve their tap water warm.
This tradition—if that’s what you want to call it-dates back to the 19th century. During that time, it was already commonplace for most American homes to have an ice box. Ice would be harvested in northern America or Canada and shipped across the Atlantic and sold at a high price in British department stores. Can you imagine heading to Macy’s to treat yourself to a block of ice
Putting ice in your drink started to become somewhat of a fashion(时尚) trend for the wealthy in Britain. Some would put a few cubes in their champagne and sip on their chilled drinks at high-class parties. But, like with any fashion trend, it eventually faded, mainly because the ice was just too expensive. And even once ice boxes began appearing in homes in Britain as well, Brits never took a liking to ice in their drinks.
So, next time you travel overseas, don’t feel offended(冒犯) when your server gives you an eye roll when you ask for ice water.
1、Who has written the text
A．A European.
B．An American.
C．A Canadian.
D．An Asian.
2、Why do Europeans take their drinks at room temperature
A．Because they have no fridges.
B．Because they have warm taps.
C．Because they are accustomed to it.
D．Because they can’t afford ice.
3、What can we infer about Brits
A．They treat their guests to cold drinks.
B．They always follow what Americans do.
C．They don’t know where to get ice blocks.
D．They have ice boxes later than Americans.
4、What does the text mainly talk about
A．Why Americans like icy drinks while Europeans don’t.
B．When people overseas have icy drinks with their meals.
C．Where people can entertain themselves with icy drinks.
D．How Europeans and Americans make different beverage.

25．（10分）Four Wild Animal Species Were Endangered
Maybe you can still see them at the zoo. But that doesn’t mean they’re doing alright in the wild.
Tigers
All six tiger species are endangered, with Suatran tigers and South China tigers at a seriously endangered status. The main reasons for their population decline are illegal hunting and destroyed habitats, as humans clear forests to gather timber and build roadways. Only about 3890 tigers presently live in the wild.
Ground squirrels
That’s right, even squirrels are endangered, specifically the San Joaquin ground squirrel. Native to California, USA, these guys have been disappearing since 1979 on account of the construction and human developments going through their habitat. Their total population is unknown, but it could be anywhere between 124000 and 4130000.
Giraffes
The International Union for the Conservation of Nature recently put giraffes at a vulnerable status, the level just before endangered. The giraffe population has declined 40 percent in the last 30 years, primarily due to loss of habitat and illegal hunting. Some giraffes are killed just for their tails, which are considered status symbols in Africa.
Asian elephants
The main threat to Asian elephants, one of the most intelligent animals, is their shrinking habitat. As the human population grows, people invade their land to build roads and railway tracks. Elephants in Myanmar are at an especially high risk for being captured and traded or used illegally in the tourist industry. Fewer than 50000 are left on the entire continent.
1、Why is the population of tigers becoming smaller
A．People hunt illegally and destroy their living spots.
B．It is difficult for tigers to fit in with their environment.
C．The forests are not suitable for their living.
D．The tigers are a threat to the residents nearby.
2、What’s the main reason why some animals are in danger according to the passage
A．Climate changes.
B．Human activities.
C．Lack of food.
D．Serious pollution.
3、The tails of ________ are regarded as status symbols in Africa.
A．tigers’
B．ground squirrels’
C．giraffes’
D．Asian elephants’
4、What can we infer from the passage
A．The giraffe population has increased greatly in the last 30 years.
B．The number of squirrels is between 124000 and 4130000.
C．Elephants in Myanmar are completely caught and even killed.
D．The present situation of endangered animals is worrying.

29、Dear Zhou Kai，
We haven’t seen each other for over two weeks. How are you doing I can’t wait to tell you something about my new school life.
My new school is really clean and beautiful. There’s a large playground and an amazing digital reading room. I like my English teacher best，who is very popular with all the students. He is really good-looking. His teaching method is nothing like that of the other teachers. What’s more，he avoids making us feel embarrassed in class. All my classmates are friendly and hard working. We’re living a new life and trying to make greater progress in our lessons.
Would you please tell me something about your new school I’m looking forward to your reply.
Yours truly,
Li Hua
