Everyone knows that grizzly bears can be very dangerous to people. However, people can be dangerous to grizzly bears, too, because their fur and meat are useful for some people. In fact, half of the grizzly bears die from business reason before they are five years old, even though they can live for about 30 years.Grizzly bears hibernate（冬眠）every winter. They sleep for several months. During this period, they don’t wake up or eat anything. When they wake up in spring, the grizzlies are in great danger. But Timothy can protect them. He sleeps in a tent near the bears and bathes in a river with them. People do not hurt the bears when Timothy is with them.Timothy went to Alaska for the first time about 17 years ago. He was attracted by the beauty of the land and the prettiness of the animals. When he learned that people kill many grizzly bears every year, Timothy determined to protect the grizzly bears and to keep the bears safe from danger, so he lives with the bears for four to five months every year. At the beginning, Timothy’s parents didn’t agree, but later, they firmly supported him to do so, because they also wanted to protect bears as him.Timothy has lived with the grizzlies every spring for about 17 years. Some bears are now his friends. He gave them names. His friend Booble sometimes gives him fish which he likes. His friend Lazy sleeps near his tent every night. Every winter, when the bears hibernate, Timothy returns to his home in California. Then he teaches children and adults about his friends in Alaska.14. Why do people kill the grizzly bears?A.

Experience in AlaskaCWe moved to Elmont in 1956. I was 4 years old. Elmont was a wonderful place to grow up. There were lots of kids, great schools and we had a big yard. Having grown up a city kid, my father, Nicholas Denaro, believed that grass was not just to look at, but that children were meant to play on it. We played games and badminton there. A white fence separated our backyard from a small wood. My friends and I jumped the fence and climbed trees.My father had the most amazing hands. He could fix anything. He gave thoseamazing hands to his son, my younger brother, Frank, who also became handy around the house. But my father saved his green fingers for me. He grew flowers, tomatoes, strawberries and figs (无花果) and he shared his love of gardening with me.Fourteen years ago, I went to a local nursery and purchased a fig tree for Dad for Father’s Day. My mother, Bridget Denaro, called it the best gift I could have given him. He planted it exactly in the middle of the front yard.He loved that tree and enjoyed delicious figs every year, except just after a storm hit in 2012. He was so disappointed when cold weather just after the superstorm froze all the remaining figs.In 2015, my father died of aspirating pneumonia(呼吸性肺炎) at 97. We sold our home of 61 years last year. We left behind Dad’s tree, full of figs waiting to ripen. We briefly considered taking it with us, but decided that his Father’s Day fig tree belonged in Elmont. The new owners generously allowed me to take some branches so that I could have a precious reminder of my much-loved father and the Elmont home.18.

The cold hit the fig tree.C. The tree didn’t bear figs.D. He moved to another city.21. The author’s purpose of writing the text is to .A. show her love of figsB. share her childhoodC. remember her fatherD. introduce her experienceCSince the 1950s, homes in the Western world have been getting bigger and bigger, but now the trend is reversing. Lately, the average home size has actually gone down. Small is beautiful! Smaller homes cost less to build, to heat, and to cool. Now, some people are taking this idea even further. They are building tiny houses. Tiny houses are homes that are less than 40 square meters in size, yet still contain all the features and living space that you need.Tumbleweed Tiny House Company is one of the most popular tiny house companies. The owner, Jay Shafer, has been living in a tiny house since 1997. The smallest house they offer has wheels and costs around $40, 000, fully built. It is designed for one person and the floor space is just 6 square meters. At the other end of the scale, the company’s biggest house has two storeys and 78 square meters of floor space. Jay says that because his smallest homes are equipped with wheels, owners don’t even need to buy land.Of course, tiny houses have their downsides too. They are not ideal for large families, and they’re not actually cheap when you measure them on a price-per-square-meter basis. But they are a great solution to the other problem that now faces homeowners — indebtedness(债务). The Western world has seen a huge increase in the cost of housing in the last 10 years.It remains to be seen whether the tiny house trend will really take off. Will people be willing to have fewer belongings and smaller homes? Will financial problems force them to do this anyway?22. What does the underlined word “reversing” in paragraph 1 mean?A. Changing to opposite.B. Staying the same.C. Disappearing.D. Spreading.23. What is special about the smallest house?A. It is movable.B. It has two storeys.C. It is suitable for a couple.D. It is less than 6 square meters.24. Which of the following is a disadvantage of tiny houses?A. They are not equipped with furniture.B. The price per square meter is high.C. They cost a lot to heat and cool.D. Their owners have to buy land.25. What’s the author’s attitude to the future of tiny houses?A. Uncertain.B. Confident.C. Hopeful.D. Uncaring.第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。
