Although the zoo keepers took good care of them, many of the animals did not feel comfortable，and they often fell ill.In modern zoos, people can see animals in more natural conditions. The animals are given more freedom in larger pla
10、ces so that they can live as they would in nature. Even the appearance of zoos has changed. Trees and grass grow in cages, and water flows through the places the animals live in.

11、rts of animals live together as they would naturally.

12、 observe certain animals that are active only at night, when most zoos are closed. Some zoos have special places for visitors to watch animals that live in the desert or under water.

Red Nose Day (RND) is a well-known event in the UK. The aim of the day is to raise money for a charity called Comic Relief wh
17、ich helps people in need in Africa and in the UK.Comic Relief was started in 1985 by Richard Curtis. He wrote the series “Blackadder” as well as the famous films “Four Weddings and a Funeral” and “Notting Hill. Richards idea to start Comic Relief was as a response to the severe lack of food in Ethio
18、pia. Its called Red Nose Day as on this day many people buy a plastic red nose to wear! The money made from selling red noses goes to the charity.Red Nose Day takes place every two years in the spring and is now so well developed that many people consider it to be an unofficial national holiday. For
19、 example, many schools have non-uniform days.The slogan for the last RND was “Do Something Funny for Money” and the money collected was used to help fund projects in the following areas: treating malaria, education, maternal health and mental health. The BBC Red Nose Day telethon raised 74.3 million
20、! Money-raising events take place all over the country and many schools join in. People also donate money by post, in banks, by phone using a credit card and online.Getting sponsored to do something is a common way to raise money on RND. If someone sponsors you it means that they agree to give you a
21、 certain amount of money for your actions. Here are some ways that people raise money: wear their pyjamas (睡衣) all day at work or in school, or grow a moustache or beard for a month.So, if you are ever in the UK on Red Nose Day, now you know why you may find normal people wearing red noses and doing

24、 beard for a week.11. Paragraph 4 is mainly to show that in Britain RND .A. is considered an official holiday B. lasts for a long timeC. is popular with people D. is well designed for TVDBefore I studied psychology, I used to think that people would laugh when funny things occurred. While I was righ
25、t about that, I discovered there are lots of other psychological factors that make people laugh other than the funny part of a joke. When someone laughs at a joke, there will usually be more than one reason that makes him laughand the more reasons there are, the more powerful the joke will be.I was
26、attending a standup comedy show in Egypt, and when the man started to make fun of pedestrians crossing streets, everyone laughed their heads off. The main reason why those people strongly laughed was that almost all of them felt angry towards pedestrians who crossed streets carelessly. The joke wasn
27、t only funny, but it also made the audience feel that they were right about being angry at those pedestrians. That is, people were laughing both because of the funny joke and because of the happiness experienced as a result of the psychological support they got.The better a joke makes a person feel,
28、 and the more it includes other psychological factors, the more the person will like it. For example, if you envy one of your friends, and someone tells a joke that is funny and, at the same time, makes your friend seem stupid, then you will probably laugh at it louder than if you werent jealous of
29、him.In short, we dont laugh only when we hear something funny; we also laugh when we experience some kind of happiness that results from the other psychological factors involved in the joke. I strongly discourage you from making fun of anyone or belittling someone to make someone else laugh. All I w
30、ant to explain is that if your joke supports a persons emotions, he will certainly like it a lot.12. What did the author find out after studying psychology?A. Only good jokes make people laugh. B. Many factors lead to peoples laughing.C. Funny things can make people laugh. D. Laughter can make peopl
31、e healthy.13. Why did the audience laugh loud at the pedestrians?A. They played a trick on the pedestrians.B. The pedestrians behaved in a funny way.C. They could feel the pedestrians happiness.D. Their emotion was approved of by the show.14. What does the underlined word “belittling” probably mean?
32、A. Annoy. B. Blame. C. Look down on. D. Make up to.15. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?A. B. C. D. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Whether youre a child, teenager, young adult or are middle-aged, respect for your parents is an important va

Respect their belongings.One important way to show respect is to show regard for the things important to your parents. For younger children,
34、this may mean not touching jewelry or other valuable things. For grown children, respect may mean returning a borrowed tool in good condition and on time.
