三、阅读理解（本大题有15小题，每小题2分，共30分）
When Zhu Yun bought her dogs five years ago, she spent nearly half of her money raising dogs each month. Every month, she spends nearly 7,000 yuan on pet food and snacks, pet clothing and taking her seven-year-old poodle (鬟毛狗) and five-year-old Yorkshire terrier (约克郡犬) on holidays. “I take them to go on a trip twice a month, and during each Spring Festival, I take them to Shanghai,” said Zhu. She also pays some photographers to take photos of her pets. This costs her 3,000 yuan each time.
People like Zhu are making the pet market grow. Pet shops now sell things like food and water bowls. They also sell lifestyle things such as pet wine, pet milk tea and pet clothes. There are even some smart robots for dogs and cats. That’s because people’s ideas about pets change. Most people from the post-90s generation (90后) are from one-child families, so people feel lonely sometimes. For this reason, their pets are like their family members. This is why people like to spend more money on their pets today.
Hu Min had a dog when she studied in Australia. She said, “Years ago, my parents kept dogs to watch and protect their homes. But today, dogs don’t play such a role (角色). They are like our family. Some even sleep in the same bed with their owners. I want to buy different kinds of things for my dog. I think my pet Taffee’s life should be as colorful as mine.”

We need animals. Every animal has its place in the balance (平衡) of nature. We should try to help save animals. Should we have zoos
Group YesWe think zoos are good places. The zoos give animals comfortable and safe living places. If animals get hurt or ill, people will take care of them. The zoo is a place to know rules in the wild (野生的) world. We can be much closer to nature. We can know more about animals in zoos by watching, listening and even smelling instead of just looking at pictures in books. Group NoWe don’t think animals feel happy in zoos. Animals like pandas, wolves and bears usually live in the wild. They play and find food on their own. They are strong and happy in the wild. If they are in zoos, food is enough and rooms are comfortable. They do not need to do their best to find food to eat or places to stay. They just walk around, sleep day and night, but they are not free at all.
I think we should build national parks as wildlife nature reserves (保护区) and advise farmers to leave reserves. If we do nothing, animals will get fewer and fewer.

四、短文填空（共10小题，每小题1.5分，满分15分）
Thirty years ago, I f 36 in love with a dog called Cookie. Though it was hard for me to add another mouth to feed, I never gave it a s 37 thought.
Cookie could quickly connect seeing my bags spread across the bed with my leaving on a trip. She was also good at s 38 unhappiness with her tail, trying to make me stay.
When I came back home and wrote my stories, she always sat next to my desk and we could have conversations about w 39 I’d been and what I’d seen. We communicated with each other as only animals and those who love them can. I often read to her what I’d written. If she turned away to start cleaning a paw, I knew I had to improve my story. Of course, she didn’t u 40 what I was really writing. But this kind of communication with her was my ways of pushing a story to a higher level.
She inspired (激发) me to make up many stories and became my partner in my travels. In this way, we travelled together. Some readers may think it i 41 to have such a relationship (关系), but dog o 42 like me will know it’s true.
Today I am still a travel writer. My heart is b 43 because my friend Cookie left me forever. Like many old friends, she and I shared much over the years. I miss her so much and I am also t 44 to her for being at my side for all those years, listening and simply loving.
It doesn’t m 45 if she never understood a word I said or that she never left our home. She was my travel partner and always will be.
五、读写综合（本大题分为A、B两部分，共25分）
A 请阅读下面这篇文章，根据所提供的信息，回答5个问题。要求所写答案语法正确、语义完整。
The name “orangutan (红毛猩猩)” means “man of the forest” in the Malay language. A century ago, there were about 230,000 orangutans in the wild, but now there are only about 112,000. They are in danger.
People have cut down the forests so it’s hard for orangutans to find wild fruit they feed on. People also kill many orangutans. So many baby orangutans do not have mums to teach them what they need to know.
That’s why an animal organization (组织) called Four Paws built schools for orangutans. The schools teach baby orangutans how to live in the wild.
Orangutans go to different schools. Usually the youngest babies go to the Nursery (育儿所). People feed them and look after them all day long. When the orangutans are 2, they go to Baby School. They learn how to climb trees and look for food. When they turn 4 years old, they go to Forest School. They stay in the forest at night. Now they can do more without help from people.
After a few years, the orangutans have learned everything they need to know. People take them into the forest and let them go.
The orangutans will grow in the forest. Maybe one day they will have babies. They can teach them everything they learned at orangutan schools.
46．How many orangutans are there in the wild now
47．What do orangutans feed on
48．How does Four Paws help protect orangutans
49．When do the orangutans learn to climb trees and look for food

Protecting Endangered Animals
Boys and girls,
Good morning! It’s sad to learn that many animals are in danger now, so we should protect the endangered animals. Animals are our friends. I think protecting animals is protecting ourselves. But how can people protect them
First, don’t cut down the forest. So the animals won’t lose their home or food. Second, to make the animals live in peace, people shouldn’t kill or buy animals. As students, we can set up a club to tell people more about the animals and ask our family and friends to join us.
Let’s work together to protect animals. Thank you!
