Here are two of the cities listed as “the world’s best.”SAN JOSE, COSTA RICA The city has comfortable weather all year round (15℃to 26℃). Housing is not very expensive in San Jose. Also, many of the city’s older neighborhoods are very beautiful and have small hotels and cafés. Beautiful mountains are around the city. You can visit them easily from San Jose. So Lots of people go sightseeing there every year. But air pollution is a problem in the city center.HONG KONG, CHINA This lively city—once a small fishing village—is today an international business center. It is an interesting mix of East and West, old and new. Modern tall buildings are next to small temples (庙宇). Popular nightclubs are close to traditional teahouses. Busy people fill the streets at all hours of the day. But outside the city, there are parks for walking or relaxing. Hong Kong is famous for its wonderful native dishes. There’s also food from Europe, North America, and other parts of Asia. However, this small city has a large population(人口). nearly seven million people live in Hong Kong! That’s why housing is often very expensive. Traffic and air pollution are also a problem.1. Which of the following is NOT mentioned(提及) about San Jose?A. The weather.B. The mountains.C. The air.D. The traffic.2. What makes Hong Kong the world's best according to this passage?A. The lively city and the wonderful dishes.B. The beautiful mountains and the lively city.C. The expensive housing and the foodD. The city and the people.3. From the passage, we can know that_________.A. San Jose and Hong Kong are the only two cities of the world's bestB. San Jose has more natural sights than Hong Kong doesC. the weather in both cities is fineD. Hong Kong is the more popular city of the two.BAlmost all animals need to sleep to stay healthy. But sleeping can also be dangerous because other animals may hurt those who are sleeping. This leads to many different ways of sleeping that help them stay safe. Some of these ways may surprise you!Almost all bats sleep upside down. They hang from a branch of a tree or the ceiling of a cave. Up high, bats are safe from most other animals. If they are in danger, they just fly away.A dolphin sleeps with just half its brain at a time. It must stay awake to breathe and to watch for danger. Dolphin mothers and babies can go without sleep for as long as two months to stay safe.Some ducks sleep with just half their brains, too. These ducks often sleep in a line. The ducks at both ends help to keep the group safe. They keep one eye open to watch for danger. The ducks in the middle sleep deeply with both eyes closed.Seals breathe air, but that doesn’t stop some of them from sleeping underwater. They hold their breath and dive deep to sleep for up to twenty minutes at a time. Sleeping deep underwater helps these seals stay safe from animals that hunt them near the surface.Horses often sleep standing up. Their legs lock in place so they don’t fall over. If a horse is lying down, it needs a long time to get up. A horse can run from danger more quickly if it is already standing.A flamingo can sleep while standing on one leg. The standing leg locks so it stays straight. The other leg remains close to the flamingo’s body. Its head rests on its back. A flamingo lives (and sleeps) near many other birds to stay safe.Some seabirds can sleep while they fly. These large birds spend most of their lives over the ocean. They are in danger on the water, but they are safe in the air. They fly for many hours without flapping（拍打）their wings. Sometimes they sleep while they are flying.Would you like to sleep how they sleep?4. The animals that sleep with half their brains are _______.A. ducks and sealsB. dolphins and ducksC. bats and dolphinsD. flamingos and seabirds5. Horses often stand up when they sleep because _______.A. they can run from danger quicklyB. they are afraid of falling overC. this helps them to sleep deeplyD. it takes them a long time to go to sleep6. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. How animals sleepB. Sleep to stay healthyC. Sleep as animals doD. What sleeping animals are likeCHave you ever thought about being a pirate(海盗)? You may have read about pirates in stories―and thought that it would be a great life. Pirates sail all day and never have to go to school. But think again! A pirate's life may not be as much fun as you think.So if you are thinking of being a pirate, maybe you should go back to school and find out a few more facts before you set sail. Being a pirate might not be as much fun as you think.Food is not easy to find at sea. There are no fridges on board so you can forget about eating fresh food. Meat goes bad after just a few days. Dry food like bread has insects and other nasty creature(讨厌的生物)crawling(爬)inside. Imagine eating a sandwich full of insects or meat served with maggots(蛆虫)in it. Pirates' hammocks(吊床)are often hung over barrels(桶)of stored food! "That's the perfect place for mice to live. If you became a pirate, you could wake up each morning sharing your bed with a few friendly mice. Going to the toilet is not that easy, either! Over the side of the ship is the only place for this. Bad weather makes this really tricky, even for the most experienced sailor.It's not all easy sailing on a pirate ship. Some of the time you will have to fight with other large, hairy pirates with long swords(剑), huge guns. This could be reallydangerous―deadly even!So if you are thinking of being a pirate, maybe you should go back to school and find out a few more facts before you set sail. Being a pirate might not be as much fun as you think.7. The writer thinks being a pirate would be ______ .A. full of problemsB. fun but dangerousC. a great way to liveD. better than going to school8. The writer says that fresh food on a ship ______ .A. goes bad quicklyB. can be easy to findC. is used for sandwichesD. needs to be put in a fridge9. Maggots can be found in ______ .A. breadB. meatC. fresh fruitD. vegetables10. The underlined words "not all easy sailing" in Paragraph 4 means pirate ships ______ .A. are full of dangerB. are beautifulC. can be bad and boringD. need smooth seas to sail四、信息还原(共5小题;每小题1分，满分5分)根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
