A
When I was six, Dad brought home a dog one day, who was called “Brownie”. My brothers and I both loved Brownie and did different things with her. One of us would walk her, another would feed her, and then there were baths, playing catch and many other games. Brownie, in return, loved each and every one of us. One thing that most touched my heart was that she would go to whoever was sick and just be with them. We always felt better when she was around.
One day, as I was getting her food, she chewed up(咬破)one of Dad’s shoes, which had to be thrown away in the end. I knew Dad would be mad and I had to let her know what she did was wrong. When I looked at her and said,“Bad girl,”she looked down at the ground and then went and hid. I saw a tear in her eyes.
Brownie turned out to be more than just our family pet. She went everywhere with us. People would stop and ask if they could pet her. Of course she’d let anyone pet her. She was just the most lovable dog. There were many times when we’d be out walking and a small child would come over and pull on her hair. She never barked(吠)or tried to get away. Funny thing is she would smile. This frightened people because they thought she was showing her teeth. Far from the truth, she loved everyone.
Now many years have passed since Brownie died of old age. I still miss the days when she was with us.
56. What would Brownie do when someone was ill in the family?
A. Look at them sadly. B. Keep them company.
C. Play games with them. D. Touch them gently.
58. Why does the author say that Brownie was more than just a family pet?
A. She was treated as a member of the family. B. She played games with anyone she liked.
C. She was loved by everybody she met. D. She went everywhere with the family.
60. Which of the following best describes Brownie?
A. Shy. B. Polite. C. Brave. D. Caring.
B
How could we possibly think that keeping animals in cages in unnatural environments—mostly for entertainment purposes—is fair and respectful? Zoo officials say they are concerned about animals. However, most zoos remain“collections”of interesting“things”rather than protective habitats. Zoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals bored, lonely, and far from their natural homes.
Zoos claim to educate people and save endangered species, but visitors leave zoos without having learned anything meaningful about the animals’ natural behavior, intelligence, or beauty. Zoos keep animals in small spaces or cages, and most signs only mention the species’ name, diet, and natural range. The animals’ normal behavior is not often noticed because zoos don’t usually take care of the animals’ natural needs.
The animals are kept together in small spaces, with no privacy(隐私)and little opportunity for mental and physical exercise. This results in unusual and self—destructive behavior called zoochosis. A worldwide study of zoos has found that zoochosis is common among animals kept in small spaces or cages. Another study showed that elephants spend 22 percent of their time making repeated head movements or biting (咬)cage sticks, and bears spend 30 percent of their time walking back and forth, a sign of unhappiness and pain.
Furthermore, most animals in zoos are not endangered. Captive breeding(圈养繁殖)of endangered big cats, Asian elephants, and other species has not resulted in their being sent back to the wild. Zoos talk a lot about their captive breeding programs because they do not want people to worry about a species dying out. In fact, baby animals also attract a lot of paying customers. Haven’t we seen enough competitions to name baby animals?
Actually, we will save endangered species only if we save their habitats and put an end to the reasons for which people kill them. Instead of supporting zoos, we should support groups that work to protect animals’ natural habitats.
61. How would the author describe the animals’ life in zoos?
A. Dangerous. B. Unhappy.
C. Natural. D. Easy.
63. What does the author try to argue in the passage?
A. Zoos are not worth the public support. B. Zoos fail in their attempt to save animals.
C. Zoos should treat animals as human beings. D. Zoos use animals as a means of entertainment.

Excused from recycling because you live in a high rise(高楼)with a rubbish chute(垃圾道)? You won’t be for long. Miami’s Mark Shantzis has made it simple for those living in tall buildings to use the chute and recycle, too.
In Shantzis’ Hi—rise Recycling System, a chute leads to a pie—shaped container with six boxes that can turn around when operated. The system, which fits in the same space as the chute and container now in use, enables glass, plastic, paper, metal, and other rubbish to go into separate boxes. The system is controlled from a board next to the chute door. The board has a button for each class of recycling materials (as well as for the unrecyclable). At the press of a button, a microcomputer locks all other floors’ chute door and sets the recycling container turning until the right box comes under the chute. The computer also counts the loads and gives a signal by phone when the box is full. And a particular piece of equipment breaks up the non—recyclable.
Sorting(分类)the recyclable before they are collected saves the use of expensive materials recovery equipment which otherwise has to do the sorting. Such equipment often makes recycled materials very expensive, so expensive that tons of the recyclable remain wasted. Shantzis believes his system could help recycled materials become more cost—effective.

Some years ago industries had more freedom than they have now, and they did not need to be as careful as they must today. They did not need to worry a lot about the safety of the new products that they developed. They did not have to pay much attention to the health and safety of the people who worked for them. Often new products were dangerous for the people who used them; often conditions in the work place had very bad effects on the health of the workers.
Of course sometimes there were real disasters which attracted the attention of governments and which showed the need for changes. Also scientists who were doing research into the health of workers sometimes produced information which governments could not ignore(忽视). At such times, there were inquiries(调查)into the causes of the disasters or the problems. New safety rules were often introduced as a result of these inquiries; however, the new rules came too late to protect the people who died or who became seriously ill.
Today many governments have special departments which protect customers and workers. In the US, for example, there is a department which tests new airplanes and gives warnings about possible problems. It also makes the rules that aircraft producers must follow. Another department controls the foods and drugs that companies sell. A third department looks at the places where people work, and then reports any companies that are breaking the laws which protect the health and safety of workers. Of course, new government departments and new laws cannot keep from every accident or illness, but they are having some good results. Our work places are safer and cleaner than before. The planes and cars which we use for travel are better. Producers are thinking more about the safety and health of the people who buy and use their products. E
Earth Hour is a global event organized by World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and is held on the last Saturday of March every year, which asks people to turn off their non—essential lights and other electrical appliances(电器)for one hour to raise recognition of the need to take action on climate change.
Earth Hour was thought of by WWF and the Sydney Morning Herald in 2007, when 2.2 million people of Sydney participated by turning off all non—essential lights. Many other cities around the world followed Sydney’s lead in 2008.
Earth Hour 2012 was from 8:30 pm to 9:30 pm local time, on March 31, 2012. 88 countries and more than 4,000 cities joined Earth Hour 2012, ten times more cities than Earth Hour 2011 had. One billion“votes”was the stated aim for Earth Hour 2012, in the background of the 2012 United Nations Climate Change Conference.
Among the participants in 2012 was, for the first time, the UN headquarters in New York City. The UN predicted that its participation would save $102 in energy. Reports showed that the Philippines topped the Earth Hour participation as 647 cities and towns or over 15 million Filipinos joined in the hour—long event at 8:30 pm—9:30 pm local time.
The Canadian province of Ontario, excluding(除……外)the city of Toronto, saw a drop of 6% of electricity while Toronto saw a drop of 15.1% (nearly doubled from 8.7% the previous year) as many businesses darkened.
Swedish electricity operator Svenska Kraftn?t recorded 2.1% drop in power consumption(消耗)from its projected figure between 8 pm and 9 pm.
In Ireland, 700,000 lights went off for the hour, leading to electricity consumption dropping 2% for the hour. Total electricity consumption dropped by about 70 million watts during the period. This compared to 50 million watts saved during 2011’s Earth Hour.
