18、)when I got an urgent call from the manager of a seabird rescue center in Cape Town，saying the regions penguins were in trouble. A cargo ship had sunk off the coast of Cape Town, creating an oil spill(泄漏)，which endangered penguins primary habitat. Volunteers were showing up，but they had no experienc
19、e. The center needed penguin keepers to train the volunteers. I boarded a plane to South Africa.Just outside Cape Town，a large warehouse had been turned into a rescue center. When I first walked into the building，I couldnt believe my ears. Normally, African penguins are voiced birds. I expected to w
20、alk into a chorus of honking and squawkingInstead，the center sounded like a library. Only the low voices of people could be heard. The penguins were dead silent. I felt shocked. My heart ached for the poor birds.Cleaning oil off a penguin isnt easy. It takes two peopleone to hold the penguin, anothe
21、r to do the washing. The bird is sprayed with a degreaser(除油器)with warm, soapy water. Delicate areas around the face must be brushed with a toothbrush. Then the bird gets cleaned under water. The whole process takes about an hour. Even with more than 12,500 volunteers, it took a month to bathe all 2
22、0,000 birds at the center. The entire penguin rescue operation took about three months. In the end, more than 90 percent of the oiled penguins were successfully returned to the wild. In a previous large-scale penguin rescue, only half of the oiled birds survived.But for me, the most inspiring part w
23、as the work of the volunteers. Rescuing penguins isnt appealing. The unpleasant smell of the rescue centera mix of penguin droppings and dead fishmade people feel sick. The scratches and bites of terrified birds covered volunteers arms. As the Penguin Lady, Im used to facing such dangers to care for
24、 the animals I love. What I didnt realize was that so many other people care for penguins too.41. The penguins were in trouble mainly because _A. volunteers were hard to findB. the weather was hot in that summerCthere was no penguin keeper availableDthe oil spill endangered the penguins environment4
25、2.

26、C12,500 penguins were cleaned by the volunteersDwashing an oiled penguin took about a day44The last paragraph suggests that the author _Afelt sick of washing the oiled penguinsBadmired the performance of the volunteersCwasnt satisfied with the volunteers serviceDdidnt like the job as the Penguin Lad
27、y45. The text is intended to tell us _. A. a story of an important penguin rescue B. the reason for protecting the penguins C. how the ship accident came about D. how the author earned the title of the Penguin LadyB Brad is originally from New Zealand. But when he was nine years old, his family move
28、d to Australia. It was there that Brad first experienced success as a sportsman. He was only nineteen years old when he started playing for a major rugby (橄榄球) league team called the Brisbane. And only two years later, he played for his local state team named Pioneer. One year after that, the Austra
29、lian national team manager chose him to play for Australia. Brad was proud to accept this chance to play rugby at the highest level, even if his first game was against the country of his birth New Zealand! Before he knew what was happening, Brad had become a rich and famous sports star! Brad moved b
30、ack to his birth country of New Zealand in 2001. He decided to start playing rugby union instead of rugby league. And, as before, he experienced great success! He achieved the dreams he had when he was a boy. He always wanted to be an All-Black a member of the New Zealand national rugby team. The pl
31、ayers wear black shirts and shorts. And their skill brings fear to every team that faces them! Brad became an All-Black in 2003. Brad returned to rugby league briefly in 2005. But he decided to spend the remaining years of his sporting life playing rugby union. Steve Tew is head of the New Zealand R
32、ugby Union. Brad hopes that his life will continue to have a positive effect on people both on and off the rugby field. He says, “I am not a person who pushes his faith on other people. I hope that people will notice the change in me from my life.” 46. When did Brad play for Pioneer? A. At the age o
33、f 19. B. After living in Australia for 12 years. C. After returning to New Zealand. D. Before playing for the Brisbane. 47. What can be inferred from the second paragraph? A.

36、of the aged, loneliness is another problem that aged parents may face. Of all the reasons that explain their loneliness, a large geographical distance between parents and their children is the major one. This phenomenon is commonly known as “Empty Nest Syndrome”（空巢综合症）. In order to seek better chanc
37、es outside their countries, many young people have gone abroad, leaving their parents behind with no clear idea of when they will return home. Their parents spend countless lonely days and nights, taking care of themselves, in the hope that someday their children will come back to stay with them. Th
38、e fact that most of these young people have gone to Europeanized or Americanized societies makes it unlikely that they will hold as tightly to the value of duty as they would have if they had not left their countries. Whatever the case, it has been noted that the values they hold do not necessarily
39、match what they actually do. This geographical and cultural distance also prevents the grown-up children from providing response in time for their aged parents living by themselves. The situation in which grown-up children live far away from their aged parents has been described as “distant parent p
40、henomenon”, which is common both in developed countries and in developing countries. Our society has not yet been well prepared for “Empty Nest Syndrome”.51.

41、 conditions in their native countries C. the common worry that they have not saved much money D. the distance between where parents live and where their children live52.

A. they do not hold to the value of duty at all B. they can give some help to their parents back homeC. they cannot do what they should for their parents
43、D. they believe what they actually do is right 54.

44、 aged parents are not fully prepared for “Empty Nest Syndrome”55. The society discussed in the passage is most probably _ A. France B. America C. China D. Britain DA new generation addiction is quickly spreading all over the world. Weboholism, a twentieth century disease, affects people from differe
45、nt ages. They surf the net, use e-mail and speak in chat rooms. They spend many hours on the computer, and it becomes a compulsive habit. They cannot stop, and it affects their lives. Ten years ago, no one thought that using computers could become a compulsive behavior that could affect the social a
46、nd physical life of computer users. This obsessive behavior has affected teenagers and college students. They are likely to log on computers and spend long hours at different websites. They become hooked on computers and gradually their social and school life is affected by this situation. They spen
47、d all free time surfing and dont concentrate on homework, so this addiction influences their grades and success at schools. Because they can find everything on the websites, they hang out there. Moreover, this addiction to websites influences their social life. They spend more time in front of compu
48、ters than with their friends. The relation with their friends changes. The virtual life becomes more important than their real life. They have a new language that they speak in the chat rooms and it causes cultural changes in society. Because of the change in their behavior, they begin to isolate th
49、emselves from the society and live with their virtual friends. They share their emotions and feelings with friends who they have never met in their life.
