There are great ‎ opportunities to see animals in action. Watch them enjoy a treat and interact with their keepers as they receive a feed.‎ On weekends and during school holidays, additional Keeper Talks are added to the schedule and visitors have the chance to meet or even feed some of our wonderful animals!‎ WALK ON THE WILDSIDE Become a zoo keeper for a day with the ultimate all day wildlife experience.‎ ZOOVENTURE TOUR Hand feed a tiger, and pat a rhino, which may be your most unforgettable experience.‎ GETTING HERE BY CAR We are located on Lady Denman Drive, next to Scrivener Dam. Find us on Google Maps.‎ BY PUBLIC TRANSPORT Unfortunately, there are no bus services running to the zoo at present.‎ ‎1. How much will a 70-year-old man pay ?‎ A. $ 40. B. $ 47.‎ C. $ 26. D. $ 130.‎ ‎2. Which of the following may be the most unforgettable experience?‎ A. Being a zoo keeper. B. Feeding the tiger.‎ C. Talking with the keepers D. Watching animals in action.‎ ‎3.

Senior people have a free visit.‎ B I am in my 40s, but today I look more like a teenage girl. Not because I'm wearing the latest fashion or having a wild hair day. It's because I have a pimple(青春痘) that looks like a volcano getting ready to erupt on my chin. ‎ ‎“Mom, what is that?” my 8-year-old daughter Lucy exclaimed, pointing at the ugly bump on my face.‎ My in-laws were visiting and brought me a box of chocolates-one of my favorite foods. Eating properly seemed like a good idea until I was alone with that box of chocolates! I enjoyed them greatly, and my pimple proved my enthusiasm clearly.‎ Food can be a large block for me. Broccoli(西蓝花)seldom appeals to me, but baked goods with sugar or crispy chips certainly do. I have no problem dipping a large spoon into a jar of peanut butter to satisfy my desires, but you won't catch me tasting a spoonful of cottage cheese for a late-night snack.‎ Please don't misunderstand me. There is certainly a place for celebration foods such as cake and ice cream. But a regular serving of daily junk food robs me of the nutrition offered in the foods I eat. ‎ I know I feel better after eating an apple than I do after eating a candy bar. It's so easy in our society to eat processed food out of boxes, bags, and at the drive-through. But that ease comes at a cost: We suffer physically. Our taste buds may be very lack nutrition, which opens the door to diseases. I'm trying to ask myself a few questions before reaching for a snack or making a meal: Is this really food? ‎ Is there something good made in it? Am I really hungry? Will I feel satisfied, but our bodies better after eating this?‎ ‎4. What made the author feel she looked like a teenage girl?‎ A. Her wild hair. B. Her ugly face.‎ C. Her facial features. D.

It isn't a balanced diet.‎ ‎7. What is the author's attitude towards processed food?‎ A. Favorable. B. Optimistic. C. Positive. D. Critical.‎ C Maple syrup (枫糖浆) is a sweetener from maple tree sap (树汁). Many people use it in baking in place of sugar or other sweeteners, some use it in tea instead of honey and it is frequently used as a topping for pancakes, waffles, and other breakfast foods. Since true maple syrup is rather expensive, a wide range of false maple syrup exist.‎ This sweetener originated in the northeast region of North America, and it is in this region that most of the world’s maple syrup is still produced. Vermont, New Hampshire Maine, and the eastern portion of Canada are all known for their fine syrup, each with slightly different flavor qualities.‎ This sweetener is produced by tapping maple trees to release and collect their sap. A tree's sap is the liquid that, much like blood in animals, carries water and food to different parts of the tree to keep it nourished. A mature maple produces about ten gallons of sap in a given season, after which the tree will wall off the channel that has been tapped, so that a new tap has to be drilled the next season. Maples are not tapped for syrup until they are at least 40 years old and have reached a certain size to ensure that no harm comes to the tree through the tapping process.‎ An immense amount of sap is required to produce maple syrup because the watery sap must be reduced to achieve the proper thickness and taste. Although the exact amount depends on the sweetness of the sap, in general it takes about 40 times as much maple sap to produce a portion of syrup. This may be further reduced to create thicker delicacies, such as maple butter, maple cream, and maple sugar.‎ In the Us, there are grade A and Grade B syrups, with three sub-divisions of Grade A: light amber, medium amber, and dark amber. Grade B is even darker than Grade A dark amber. Many people assume that the grading system is also indicative of quality, but in reality, it only helps to differentiate the color and taste of the syrup, which is a matter of personal preference. The tastes are different, but to say one is objectively “better” than another would be incorrect.‎ ‎8. What do we know about the maple syrup from the first two paragraphs?‎ A. It can be a substitute of sugar and honey.‎ B. It varies greatly in flavor qualities.‎ C. It is produced in the northeast of the US.‎ D. It is too expensive to gain popularity.‎ ‎9. The underlined word "nourished" in paragraph 3 can be replaced by “__________”.‎ A. warm. B. healthy.‎ C. complete. D. mature.‎ ‎10. Why is a large amount of sap needed?‎ A. Because it is widely used in most delicacies.‎ B. Because it helps to protect old trees from harm.‎ C. Because it needs to be concentrated to make maple syrup.‎ D. Because the more sap is used, the better maple syrup tastes.‎ ‎11. What's the main purpose of writing the text?‎ A. To teach people how to make maple syrup.‎ B. To attract more people to buy maple syrup.‎ C. To introduce basic knowledge of maple syrup.‎ D. To help people choose maple syrup of good quality.‎ D New App Helps People Remember Faces Large gatherings such as weddings and conferences can be socially overwhelming. Pressure to learn people’s names only adds to the stress. A new facial-recognition app could come to the rescue, but privacy experts recommend proceeding with caution. ‎ The app, called SocialRecall, connects names with faces via smartphone cameras and facial recognition, potentially avoiding the need for formal introductions. “It breaks down these social barriers we all have when meeting somebody,” says Barry Sandrew, who created the app and tested it at an event attended by about 1,000 people. ‎ After receiving an invitation to download SocialRecall from an event organizer, the user is asked to take two selfies and sign in via social media. At the event, the app is active within a previously defined geographical area. When a user points his or her phone camera at an attendee’s ‎ face, the app identifies the individual, displays the person’s name, and links to his or her social media profile. To protect privacy, it recognizes only those who have agreed to participate. And the app's creators say it automatically deletes users’ data after an event.‎ Ann Cavoukian, a privacy expert who runs the Privacy by Design Center of Excellence praises the app’s creators for these protective measures. She cautions, however, that when people choose to share their personal information with the app, they should know that “there may be unintended consequences down the road with that information being used in another context that might come back to bite you.”‎ The start-up has also developed a version of the app for individuals who suffer from prosopagnosia, or “face blindness,” a condition that prevents people from recognizing individuals they have met. To use this app, a person first acquires an image of someone’s face, from either the smartphone’s camera or a photograph, and then tags it with a name. When the camera spots that same face in real life, the previously entered information is displayed. The collected data are stored only on a user’s phone, according to the team behind the app. ‎ ‎12. SocialRecall is used to ________.‎ A. take photos B. identify people ‎ C. organize events D. make friends ‎13. Paragraph 3 is mainly about ________.‎ A. how the app works ‎ B. how the app was created C. what makes the app popular D. what people can do with the app ‎14. SocialRecall helps people with prosopagnosia by ________. ‎ A. giving names to the photos kept in their smartphones ‎ B. collecting information previously entered in the phone C. providing the information of a person when they first meet D. showing the person’s information when it spots a stored face ‎15. What can we learn about SocialRecall from the passage?‎ A. It may put people’s privacy at risk.‎ B. It has caused unintended consequences.‎ C. It can prevent some communication disorders.‎ D. It is praised by users for its protective measures.‎ 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。‎ The Value of Tears Tears can ruin the make-up that you wear, bring conversation to a stop, and give you a runny nose. They can leave you embarrassed and without energy. However, crying is a fact of life, and tears are very useful. Even when you’re not crying, they make a film(薄膜)over the eye’s surface. 16__________‎ When tears fall, they reduce stress. However, we tend to fight them for all sorts of reasons. “People worry about showing their emotions, afraid that once they lose control they’ll never get them back. " 17__________ After we cry, the feelings that caused the tears often disappear.‎ Sometimes people become much stressed and can’t cry.
