One day a mime(哑剧演员) is visiting the zoo and tries to earn some money as a street performer. As soon as he starts to draw a crowd, a zookeeper pulls him into his office. The zookeeper explains that the zoo’s most popular attraction, a gorilla(大猩猩), has died suddenly and the keeper fears that attendance(出席人数) at the zoo will fall off. He offers the mime a job to dress up as the gorilla. The mime accepts.
The next morning the mime puts on the gorilla suit and enters the cage before the crowd comes. He soon discovers he can sleep, play and make fun of people and he draws bigger crowds than he ever did as a mime — the job he likes but loses.
However, with days going by, he begins to notice that the people are paying more attention to the lion in the cage next to his. Not wanting to lose the attention of his audience, he climbs to the top of his cage, crawls across a partition(隔墙), and dangles(悬挂) from the top to the lion’s cage. The lion gets angry at this. The scene is a fuel to the crowd.
At the end of the day he is given a raise for being such a good attraction — well, this continues for some time. The crowds grow larger, and the mime’s pay keeps going up.
Then one day when he is dangling over the lion he slides and falls. The mime is terrified. He starts screaming “Help me!”, but the lion is quick. The mime soon finds himself flat on his back looking up at the angry lion and the lion says, “Shut up you fool! Do you want to get us both fired?”
21. The mime accepts the zoo keeper’s offer because __________.
Ahe doesn’t like being a mime
Bhe has been out of work
Che likes performing at the zoo
Dhe is offered a higher pay there
22. How does the mime find the job dressing up as the gorilla?

BDangerous but exciting.
CEasy and funny.
DBoring but well-paid.

Bwin back his audience
Cget his pay raised

It’s the ending of 2016,but as USA Today says,“it’s never too late to plan your 2016 travels”.With so many hot destinations around the globe,“where should I go?” can be difficult to answer.According to Lonely Planet,though,Brazil is a fine choice-on Aug.29,the travel guide named that country the top one to visit in 2016.
“As if endless strands of coast and mountains,splashed with rainforest didn’t already add up to an unfair share of heaven (天堂),Brazil will hold two of the greatest sporting events in the world,beginning with the 2014 FIFA World Cup and followed by the 2016 Summer Olympics,”explained Lonely Planet.
Brazil is the largest and most populous country in South America.It boasts(自豪拥有) the Amazon,the world’s largest jungle,which is home to a variety of plants and animals.But the great landscape is not the only thing Brazilians take pride in.
The colors green and yellow might make most people think of Brazil’s soccer team even more than its national flag.Soccer is more than a sport in Brazil;it’s a way of life.In fact,the World Cup brings Brazilians together.It is interesting to note,that the general elections(大选) in Brazil are usually held during the same year as the World Cup.Political parties try to take advantage of the patriotic enthusiasm created by soccer to inspire political energy.
Alongside soccer,samba is another symbol of Brazil.The country’s most traditional dance is highlighted every February at the Rio Carnival,which is one of the world’s biggest.
“Brazil has left its secondclass nation status,” said former Brazilian president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva in 2009 after Rio de Janeiro was awarded the 2016 Olympics.
Brazil’s growing economy,fueled (刺激) by oil and aircraft factories,has made it more than just a nation of samba,soccer and beaches.These days,it might just be the best tourist destination in the world.
25.Which is true about Brazil?
AIt will hold the FIFA World Cup and the Summer Olympics in 2016.
BSoccer and samba are two symbols of the country.
CIt is the largest country with the longest history in South America.
DIts Amazon is the world’s largest jungle ,Brazilians take pride in only.
26.We can tell from the words of Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva that________
Ahis country will be the first class nation status after the 2016 Olympics.
Bhis country has been left behind by other second-class nations.
Che is confident that his country has developed very fast.
Dthe 2016 Olympics ,not samba or soccer, has made his country the first class
27.The author’s purpose in writing the article is to________.
Aprove that Lonely Planet’s recommendation is right
Bgive an introduction of Brazil as a tourist destination
Cgive an objective review of Brazil as a nation
Dexplain why Brazil will be holding the two sporting events

The main reason people come to America is said to be that they can chase the American Dream. Everyone has heard of it, and many have died fighting for it. The only thing is that there is no clear definition of the American Dream. It is not defined by one dream, but by all the opportunities that the United States offers. Since the founding of the United States, people have been striving to define the American Dream.
In the play Death of a Salesman, every character is trying to realize his own version of the American Dream. Willy feels that he has done so. He has spent his whole life as a not very successful salesman. As he gets older, he starts having conflicts with everyone in his life, and feels that only by killing himself will the people around him be able to finally be happy.
Bernard, on the other hand, feels that the American Dream can only be achieved through career success. He shows that through hard work and dedication he will be crowned with success.
The dialogue of the characters reveals the different attitudes they have toward the American Dream, and the reaction of Willy to the fact that Bernard is very successful while he is not.
Many people try to achieve the American Dream, but few actually do so. As with any goal, it takes hard work and dedication to achieve the American Dream. In Death of a Salesman, all aspects of this goal are examined. For the goal to be achieved, the dream must be an attainable one which is worth working toward. It also must be a dream that the professional world accepts and finds useful.
28. The underlined word “striving” probably has the same meaning as “_________”.
Atrying hardBgiving upCbending downD.standing still
29. According to the text, Death of a Salesman tries to tell us _________.
Awhat the American Dream is like
Bwhy Willy decides to kill himself
Cabout Bernard’s dedication to his work?
Dthe life stories of Willy and Bernard
30. According to the author, Bernard is successful because _________.
Ahe understands the real world
Bhe knows how to take advantage of his knowledge
Che works hard to achieve his goals
Dhe is popular around the world
31. What would be the correct structure of the text?
