阅读理解

    Sun bears(马来熊)are the smallest of the world's eight bears species(物种). They have a black coat and a white or golden colour on their bodies. Their homes are in the tropical(热带雨林)of Southeast Asia. They live in trees and eat both plants and animals. They can grow to be 1.4 metres in height and 65 kilograms in weight. They usually live alone and are happy to spend most of their time by themselves.

    Scientists studied sun bears in the Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Center. They found that although sun bears live alone, they have developed a surprising social skill. They can copy (模仿) other sun bear's facial expression (面部表情) as a form of communication. They can even copy exact muscular (肌肉的) movements that other sun bears make— such as making a face.

    The ability to copy facial expressions is found in humans, gorilla's (大猩猩), some monkeys and some other animals. But until now, only humans and gorillas have the ability to exactly copy facial expressions. However, scientists found that sun bears can copy facial expression as well as humans and gorillas. This surprised them because sun bears are alone and they have no close relationship with human beings.

    Although they live alone in the wild, the sun bears in the study often played gently with each other. Sometimes they played with faster actions as hitting and biting. Scientists are still not sure what messages the sun bears were sending to one another.

(1)、According to the passage, where do sun bears usually live?
A、In caves. B、In trees. C、By the river. D、On the ice.
(2)、From the passage, we can learn something about sun bears EXCEPT that _______________.
A、they like to live alone in the wild and only eat animals B、they can copy other sun bears' facial expressions for communications C、they can copy exact muscular movements of other sun bears D、they have no close relationship with human beings
(3)、Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
A、A warm home on the earth B、A brave animal in the forest C、A new friend of human beings D、A surprising skill of sun bears

Have you ever been to Ireland? If not, you should think of spending a vacation there. The Republic of Ireland stands in the south of the island. There are about 3, 470, 000 people in the country and the weather is quite wet but warm. Falls of snow in Ireland are most unusual. 

Ireland is full of interesting things to do. You'll find restaurants and café everywhere. Most of them have a long list(清单) of Irish food and drinks. After your meal, you can take a walk along the shore(岸). The countryside is good for horse riding. Other sports you may want to do are sailing, boating, swimming, fishing and golfing. Ireland is famous for its theaters and festivals. So, why don't you stay longer for a party or a concert? 

The Irish people are kind and friendly. From mountains to beaches you will find people ready to stop and talk about the weather, the local geography or history and maybe about what you should see next. The Irish people have kept their own culture of music and literature(文学) well. Different areas have different kinds of music. In towns and villages people get together in the evening to sing and play music. They also get together to read their own poems to each other. Meeting such people is really fun, isn't it?

Whether yellow, red or white, the onion is a vegetable that you may not know well. The list of its uses in cooking is endless. People have used onions to add flavor(味道) to their foods for thousands of years. Besides onions' great taste, they are very good for you. They have special chemicals(化学物质) that improve your ability to fight off sickness and you have fewer chances of getting a disease. 

No matter how good onions are for you, it is difficult to cut an onion without your eyes filling with tears! When you cut into an onion, irritating(刺激性的) chemicals inside the onion will get into the air. They touch your whole eyes and cause pain. Your eyes make tears to wash away the chemicals and protect your eyes. 

Luckily, cooks and scientists have discovered some ways to keep you from crying when you cut up onions:

Cut the onion under running water. The water will wash away the chemicals before they can reach your eyes. 

Use a fan to blow air over the onion as you cut it. The air will blow the chemicals away from your eyes. 

Put the onion in a fridge for an hour before cutting. This helps make the chemicals in the onion move slowly, so they may not ever reach your eyes. 

If you try out these good ideas and still cry while cutting onions, don't worry. Scientists think if you cut more onions, your body will become more resilient to the onion's chemicals. So the tears will not last long. If you think about how healthy onions are, you might even call those tears "happy tears".

B. 根据短文内容和所给中文提示,在空白处写出单词的正确形式。(每空限填一词)

A neighborhood party is a great way to raise money for a charity. You can also celebrate a holiday or get to know some {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (陌生人) in your neighborhood.

 Before you begin, you first need to work out where to have the party. Community centers or your {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(私密的) garden are often available for it. It could be a public and {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(方便的) place like a park or a street.

 Next, ask your friends and neighbors who are {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(有耐心的) to help. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (幽默的) volunteers are important for making sure the party runs successfully. Get plenty of people to help tell others about the {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(地址) of the party, set up the party, and finally clean up after the party. All the volunteers take {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(骄傲、自豪) in all the work they do.

During the party, many activities are organized for kids so that they can enjoy {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(他们自己). At most parties, people also like to {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(放置) out some food and drinks. The best parties are when everyone brings something to share. There's no better way to bring the community together and spread love and joy than to throw a party! It's really a special time to {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(联系) with their neighbors.
