1．
（1）What will elephant volunteers do？Elephant Reserve
Country：Thailand
This is a working vacation at a wildlife centre.Anyone can become a volunteer if he/she agrees to help the elephant keepers with tasks.
Daily tasks
Gather the elephants at 6：30 am.Take them to look for food in the forest.Clean the enclosure（圍場）．Swim with the elephants in the lake in the afternoon.If volunteers want to relax after work，they can watch satellite television.
How this vacation helps
If these elephants hadn't been rescued，they would still be living on the streets of Bangkok.The rural environment is much better for them than the urban environment where there is lots of pollution.
Your comment
"I love working with these huge gentle animals."
Gorilla safari（觀賞野獸的旅行）
Countries：Kenya，Rwanda and Uganda
Departures（出發(fā)）：2—3 departures per month from Aug.jye.ai Dec.
Extras：permit ￡220
If you're lucky，you'll see lions，elephants and rhinos during this safari.The highlight（最好的部分） of the trip is the opportunity to see gorillas in the mountain forests.However，you must be in good health—if a gorilla caught a cold，it would be extremely harmful to its whole family.
How this vacation helps
There are only about 600 gorillas left in the world as human activity has reduced the area where they can live.When you buy a permit，this will pay for the protection of the national park.
Your comment
"I'll surely go back as soon as I have enough money！"
Polar bear watching
Area & Country：Arctic，Canada
Departures：sixty trips between Oct.1—Nov.19.
Every October and November groups of polar bears gather in Hudson Bay.As they are normally lonely creatures，this is unusual.The bears wait for the ocean to freeze so that they can hunt for seals，so this is the perfect opportunity to see them.Extra activities include dog sledding and a night trip to see the Northern Lights.
How this vacation helps
If the Arctic ice cap melts due to global warming，polar bears will be in danger.We give a share of our profits（利潤） to the charity that protects polar bears.

2．Dr Dian Fossey，one of the world's leading women scientists，had a remarkable career.The work—she devoted her life to protecting and studying the mountain gorillas（大猩猩） of Africa—has proved highly effective and has resulted in the steady increase of the most endangered great apes.
Fossey made her first trip to Africa in 1963.Three years later，she returned to Africa to begin a long-time study of the mountain gorillas.She set up camp in the Democratic Republic of Congo but moved to Rwanda because of political reasons in 1967.She established her "Karisoke" Research Centre camp on September 24，1967.
Fossey's aims were to study gorilla ecology and social organization.She found that in order to achieve this，she needed to recognize individual gorillas，which required that the gorillas get used to her presence（出現(xiàn)）．By copying gorillas'behaviour and sounds，F(xiàn)ossey began to gain their trust，and in 1970 an adult male gorilla she had named "Peanuts" reached out to touch her hand.
Close observations over thousands of hours enabled Fossey to gain the gorillas' trust and bring forth new knowledge about their behaviour.Stories and photographs of her work were published in National Geographic Magazine and elsewhere.
In 1977，one of Fossey's favorite gorillas，Digit，was killed by poachers and she established the Digit Fund to help raise money for gorilla protection efforts in the same year.
On December 26，1985，F(xiàn)ossey was murdered while going back to her house in Karisoke.Her body was discovered near the research centre.Most probably，Dian Fossey had been killed by the poachers she'd fought against.On her tombstone（墓碑），"No one loved gorillas more..."
In 1988，the life and the work of Fossey were made into a movie based on her book.
（1）Why does the author say Dr Dian Fossey "had a remarkable career"？
A．Because she travelled all over the world.
B．Because she liked to play with gorillas.
C．Because she studied gorilla ecology.
D．Because she made great apes increase steadily.
（2）Which of the following shows the right time order of the events in Fossey's life？
a．She established the Digit Fund.
b．Her story was shown in a movie.
c．She was killed probably by the poachers.
d．She established her "Karisoke" Centre.
A．a，d，c，b
B．a，c，d，b
C．d，c，b，a
D．d，a，c，b
（3）The underlined word "poachers" in Paragraph 5 probably refers to people who.
A．sell drugs against the law
B．hunt animals against the law
C．hate successful people
D．like to do harm to people
（4）From the words on Fossey's tombstone，we can infer that.
A．Fossey was the person who loved gorillas most
B．after Fossey died，no one loves gorillas
C．Fossey was the first one to study gorillas
D．everybody loves gorillas as Fossey did組卷：31引用：4難度：0.5 -
3．Like all big cities，Paris has a traffic problem：lots of cars，lots of traffic jams and lots of pollution from exhaust fumes（廢氣）．So the city began a project to improve the situation.
Under the Velib project （'Velib' comes from vélo liberté，or 'bicycle freedom'），people can take a bicycle，use it for as long as they want，and then leave it at the same or another bicycle station.The first half-hour on the bike is free，but if you don't return it after 30 minutes，you have to pay.But it's only € 1 a day or € 29 a year!The bicycles are heavy （25 kg），and they are all grey and have baskets.There are about 20，000 of them in the city，and around 1，450 bicycle stations.So there are a lot more Velib stations than the 298 subway stations!
Paris is not the first city to have a project like this.But not everybody thinks it's a great idea.One Parisian said，"These bicycles are only for short journeys.If people want to travel across the city，they won't use a bicycle—they'll still use their cars."
A city spokesman said，"The bicycle project won't solve all our traffic problems，of course.But it might help reduce air pollution.Traffic，together with factory fumes，is a big problem.There aren't any simple answers to traffic problems and pollution in cities.But unless we do something now，there will be more traffic jams and temperatures will continue to rise，so the problems in our environment will get worse.The bikes might help people to lead a healthier life，too."
（1）What can we learn about the Velib project？
A．Its bikes have no baskets.
B．Its bikes are light and colorful.
C．It aims to make traveling easier.
D．It owns more stations than the subway.
（2）If you use a Velib for half an hour，you should pay.
A．for free
B．€ 1
C．€ 29
D．€ 30
（3）Why do some people disagree with the Velib project？
A．The cost is rather high.
B．It's hard to find a Velib station.
C．It's not suitable for a long journey.
D．The distance between two Velib stations is long.
（4）What's the city spokesman's attitude towards the bicycle project？
A．Worried.
B．Positive.
C．Uncaring.
D．Doubtful.組卷：11引用：1難度：0.5

The eight-year-old Carol lived with her father David，mother May and elder brother Rob.The little family happily lived in a beautiful village surrounded with beautiful nature.The village was at the foot of a mountain，with beautiful views of the snowy mountain.The family survived on growing seasonal plants and trees.Their life is totally surrounded by nature and beauty.
While they lived a very happy life，Carol did not love the beautiful atmosphere of the village.She really wanted to move into the city and enjoy the city life.She wanted to shop，move around the city，watch movies，and eat in fantastic restaurants and cafes，etc.
However，there was hardly any chance that Carol's family moved to the city as they had everything in the village.
One day，Carol fell asleep during the early noon and she had a sound sleep.Of course，she had a strange dream.She saw her grandmother in her dream as a fairy and her deceased grandmother granted her a wish.Carol requested her that she would love to enjoy the city life as she always desired.
Grandmother understood the desire of Carol，but still wanted to convince her that the peaceful village life is better than the city life.
She told Carol，"Baby，you cannot have access to fresh fruits and vegetables from plants as you have at your home.You cannot breathe fresh air.You cannot play with animals.You can hardly find any trees.You will not find peace as you see here!Do you still want to go to the city？"
Without hearing the concerns，Carol asked her grandmother to grant the wish.Grandmother granted her wish but with a condition.Carol was told that she would only have 6 hours to spend in the city.Later，she would return to the village.Carol agreed.
Paragraph 1：
Carol then found herself in the city with her friends._____
