9、节，满分 40 分）第一节：（共 15 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 30 分）AAbout 35 species of animals are dying out every day in the rainforest Perhaps taking these animals to zoos is better than allowing them to die in the decreasing wild， but clearly the conditions in zoos must be improved Is the power and beauty of nature apparen
10、t in zoos？ A zoo cage typically consists of a few animals sitting in limited space with nothing but plastic trees and brick walls Their eyes hold a lifetime of sadness and emptiness Every day people stare at them， knock on the glasses， and make faces to scare them or get them to move Cameras are for
11、bidden， yet tourists still take pictures They dont understand or care how much the flash terrifies the animals Animals are suffering in zoos Many lions will walk around in circles all day This kind of behavior is especially apparent in tall animals like elephants and giraffes， which might chew the p
12、lastic plants or hit their heads heavily on the bars of their cages Some monkeys turn to self-harm after they have consumed all the amusements provided in their cages Birds are not able to fly in their metal nets Some stop trying After a few years， most can no longer fly The night time is the worst
13、We do see the tiny cages where animals are locked up with hardly enough room to move Most of them hide and sleep， like never-ending winter sleep More zoos will be created in the next 25 years In cages the once-proud creatures of the wild remind us of only shame-shame on the human race for doing this
14、 to these animals Perhaps the future of these animals does rest in zoos， but we can make zoos more human（人道的） By doing simple things such as donating $5 to a project designed to stop zoo cruelty or increase the cage size， you can make a difference- 4 -21.

To call for the improvement of zoo conditionsBSince she became a boss 20 years ago, Mary Davis was forced to develop her skills in communic
17、ation and networking. Today, she says she can start a conversation with anyone.The easiest way to start a conversation, Davis said, is by finding a commonality between yourself and the other person. Davis advice on finding common ground shines through in her reliable icebreakers. Among them are “How
18、 do you know our host?” and “Ive never been to one of these seminars (研讨会). Have you?” According to Davis, this one leads to a conversation no matter what the answer. “If they answer No, you can go on by saying something like, Well, I heard that we can expect to hear about . If they answer Yes, you
19、can continue by asking for their opinion of the last seminar.” However, Davis said that sometimes she will just go up to someone, offer her hand, and say, “Hi, Im Mary Davis. I dont think weve met yet.”The most important thing to remember about having a conversation is to make eye contact and use th
20、e other persons name, said Davis. “This makes the other person more likely to remember you.” While the other person is talking, Davis acts as though she is only interested in what they have to say. - 5 -This philosophy (哲学) of making the other person the center of attention carries over to small tal
21、k.In order to practice talking with people, Davis suggests going to a public place. “Its always easy to open with something youve observed from the other person, like I couldnt help but notice youre reading the new John Grisham novel. How is it?”For Davis, though, the one thing that has really been
22、a big help to her in becoming an expert conversationalist is confidence in herself. “Some reasons people might be shy about entering into a conversation are that they are uncomfortable with themselves; they feel unworthy in comparison to others in the group; they dont want to appear stupid, uninform
23、ed, or uneducated; or maybe theyve had a bad experience in public that makes them hesitant (迟疑) now.”24.

29、and I show it off whenever I can. You do that with antiques.“There was a picture on the wall bought at a garage sale. It was dated 1867. “Now thats an antique,” I said with pride. “Over 100 years old.” Of course it was marked up and scratched (刮坏) and not in very good condition. “Sometimes age does
30、that,” I told Jenny. “But the marks are good marks. They show living, or being around. Thats something to display with pride.
