The kangaroo is the symbol of Australia. They have large eyes and ears. They don’t walk, they jump. They use their strong back legs. They can jump at up to 74 kilometers per hour. They can go over nine meters in one jump! Kangaroo mothers have pouches(育儿袋) to carry their babies. The babies stay inside to get milk and keep warm. Kangaroos are everywhere in Australia. They are on TV, in books and in the shops. The government even wants to put them on passports(护照). But do you know that millions of kangaroos are killed every year? There are too many of them. There are about 20 to 25 million kangaroos in Australia. That’s more than the number of people in the country! Some kangaroos go hungry because there is not enough food to eat. They break into farms for food. Farmers are very angry with them. The koala is another famous Australian animal. They look like bears, and have small eyes and big noses. They eat leaves from eucalyptus, where they spend most of their time. Koalas have a special smell. They use it to mark their home—“This is my place, you can’t come in!” Like kangaroos, a koala baby lives in its mother’s pouch. But koalas have fewer places to live in. There are about 100,000 koalas in Australia. There is a law to keep them safe. ( )41. Kangaroos and koalas are the most famous animals in Australia because _______. A. there are not many of them B. they can’t live in other countries C. we can’t see them in any other country except Australia D. they are lovely animals ( )42.

D. There are many of them in Australia. ( )43. Why does the Australian government kill some kangaroos each year? A. They can make more money. B. Kangaroos break into farms for food. C. Kangaroos do not have enough food to eat. D. There are more kangaroos than people. ( )44. What do koalas use to mark their home? A Their footprint. B. Their sound. C. Their fur. D. Their smell. ( )45. What is the similarity(相同之处)between a kangaroo and a koala? A. There are too many of them in Australia. B. They keep their babies in the mother’s pouch. D. They can jump very high. C The size and shape of your ears show your character more than any other parts of the face. Other parts of the face change shape as we get older, but ears do not change their shape. They only change in size. Reading people’s character from their ears is an old science. In very old times people thought that a person with big ears had a good and generous character. They thought that a person with pale (nearly white), small ears was dangerous. They also thought that the shape of the ear showed whether a person was musical or not. Today, too, many people believe that the size and the shape of the ear help you know if a person is musical. Ears are all different, and each characteristic has a meaning. Next time when you look at a person, see if his ears are large or small. Look at the lobes( the lowest part of the ear). Are they attached(连着) to the face? Ears that are always red mean a person may easily get angry, or he/she just has high blood pressure(高血压). Ears that are always cold and pale mean a person has a nervous character. And a big inside hole of the ear means a person is musical. ( )46.In the old times people might ask for help from a person with____________. A. red ears B. big ears C. small ears D. pale ears ( )47. The passage is mainly about ___________. A. the size of our ears B. musical ears C. ears which related to characters D. our faces and ears ( ) 48.

A. pale ears B. white ears C. small ears D. ears with a big inside hole ( )50. If you are often late for school, you may find the ears of your teacher _________. A. get bigger B. get smaller C. get colder D. get redder 五. 词汇应用。 A) 根据首字母或汉语提示，写出各单词的正确形式，每空一词。 51. The Chinese g_______ wants to protect these rare birds. 52.

Nearly 50% of students say they are worried about robbery(抢劫) on the way to and from school. Now in many big cities in China, some schools have taught an unusual lesson: self-protection. Students like this lesson because there are no exams or boring classes. And they can learn how to save lives and know how to stop danger before it really happens. Chen Haoyu, a teacher at Beijing No. 25 Middle School, gives young students advice on how to deal with danger. If you are robbed Keep calm. If you cannot cry for help or run away, give the robber your money. Try to remember what the robber looks like and tell the police later. If you are in a traffic accident If a car hurts you. you should remember the car number. If it is a bicycle, try to call your parents before you let the rider go. This is because you don’t know how seriously you are hurt. If it is raining hard and there is lightning(闪电) Don’t stay in high places and stay away from trees. When there is a fire Get away as fast as you can. Put wet things on your body and try to find an exit. Do not take the lift. If someone is drowning(溺水) If you can’t swim, don’t get into the water. Cry out for help. Remember that danger is never as far away as you think. Take care of yourself at all times! ( )36. Why do students like the self-protection lesson? ①Because there are no tests. ②Because the lesson is boring. ③Because they can learn how to save lives. ④Because they know how to stop danger before it happens. A.①② B. ②③ C. ①②④ D. ①③④ ( )37. What will you do if a bicycle hurts you? A. I will remember the bicycle number. B. I won’t let the rider go until I call my parents. C.

Australia’s four-term school year begins in February with a two-week holiday between terms. The fourth and last term ends on December 20.The Christmas holiday is also with the end of school and the beginning of the summer vacation(holidays).The students return to school in February.
