The songs of the bird filled the hippo with so much envy (羡慕) that he couldn’t think of anything else. Every day he would think why he wasn’t born to be a bird even though the bird told him many times he was so lucky to be so big and such a good swimmer.Finally, the hippo made up his mind that he would come out of the river, climb the tree, and start singing. However, when he tried to climb the tree, it was very clear that the hippo didn’t have wings, nor claws to climb with.Realizing that he would never climb up the tree, he angrily hit the tree until it came crashing to the ground. Then he stepped onto the leaves of the fallen tree, and began singing.Unfortunately, hippos can’t sing, either. All that came from his mouth were terrible noises,and when the other animals heard this, they all came around to make fun of the hippo.He was so ashamed of this. He also felt bad about having knocked the tree over. He used all his strength to raise thetree back up again, and look after it until it completely recovered(康复).hippo envied the bird because .could fly high could build a nestcould sing well could live in the treereading this passage, we know .writer is telling us a true storystory happened on an autumn daybird thought he was luckier than the hippohippo tried to do something against his naturehippo in this story .happy all the timenot respect his friendsto talk a lot but did nothinghis mistake when he realized itthe passage, we can infer(推断)that the hippo would after such an experience.a good singergood at climbing treesenvying the birdmake friends with other animalsbest title of this passage may be “”.hippo that wished to singtree that was knocked overbird that wished to swimanimals that were in high spiritsCIn Britain, Boxing Day is usually celebrated on December 26th, which is the following day after Christmas Day. However, strictly speaking, Boxing Day is the first weekday after Christmas. Like Christmas Day, Boxing Day is a public holiday. This means it’s a non-working day in the whole of Britain. When Boxing Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the following Monday is the public holiday.The exact origin(起源) of the holiday is unclear. One of the thoughts is that during the Middle Ages, when great sailing ships were setting off to discover new land, a Christmas box was placed by a priest(神父)on each ship. Those sailors who wanted to ensure a safe return would drop money into the box. It was sealed up and kept on board until the ship came home safely. Then the box was handed over to the priest in exchange for the saying of a Mass of thanks for the success of the sailing. The priest wouldn’t open it to share the contents with the poor until Christmas.One more thought is about the“Alms Box” placed in every church on Christmas Day. Worshippers(做礼拜的人)put gifts for the poor into it. These boxes were always opened the day after Christmas, that is why that day became known as Boxing Day.Today, many businesses, organizations and families try to keep the traditional spirit of Boxing Day alive by donating(捐赠)their time, services and money to aid Food Banks, providing gifts for the poor, or helping families in need.

Many people die as a result of breathing smoke or from cooking over wood- powered orcoal-powered stoves.One way to reduce the number of deaths is through cooking equipment powered by the sun. Crosby Menzies, a solar power expert in a South African company, described his latest solar cooker called the “Sol-4”.“It is four square met ers of mirrors, six to eight meters in length. It is quite a large cooker.”The “Sol-4” works by reflecting(反射) light from the sun off large mirrors. The mirrors direct(把……对准) the light at a cooking pan. Then the light heats the pan with solar energy. Within two minutes, the pan is hot enough to cook sausages and onions. In just four minutes, water can be boiled. That is as fast as cooking with natural gas or electricity.The cooker is also much “friendlier” than other models because people do not have to stand in the sun to use people can prepare meals without having to collect firewood or spend money on individuals would be less likely to have breathing illnesses from harmful smoke.At present, the cooker only works when the sun is shining. But engineers are working on a way to make it work without sunlight.Each cooker costs about $2,000, which is a large amount of money for most Africans. To solve that problem, Crosby Menzies hascreated a non-governmental organization called Solar Cookers for plans to raise money through donations to provide poor people with solar cooking equipment.passage is mainly about .cookers pollutionpower experts illnesses“Sol-4” is mainly used to.the time of cookingthe cost of making cookersmoney through donations to help African peoplethe number of deaths caused by harmful smokeunderlined word “individuals” most probably means“”.of the following about the “Sol-4” is TRUEis six to eight square meters of mirrors.can work in any weather condition now.can also heat the pan by lighting firewood.is more environment-friendly than other cookers.the passage, we can infer that .“Sol-4” will be designed in a smaller sizeAfricans can use the solar cookers in the future“Sol-4” is th e first product of the South African companyAfrican government will provide poor people with solarcookers第二节阅读理解(共5小题,每小题1分,满分5分)阅读下面短文,把A—D四个句子填入文中空缺处,使短文内容完整、正确,然后完成第75小题。
