Upon entering college, Yang Yi was uncertain about a lot of things. However, the 19-year-old international economics and trade student was certain about one thing: She wanted to participate in animal welfare efforts.
“I'm .always a nature and animal lover," she said. She joined the environmental protection  association at her school. Now being president of a group of 25, she leads its efforts to help  stray(流浪)cats and dogs by raising     money to buy them food and collecting old clothes to  make them homes.
However, sometimes the association raises doubts. Some students have questioned whether  helping stray animals breaks the laws of nature. "We tried to resolve the controversy," Yang said. “For wild animals, the best way to protect them is to preserve their environment and their natural  habitat, and to let them live their own way. However, for animals that depend heavily on humans, such as dogs and cats, the proper way to treat them is to respect them and take care of them." Besides, if not accommodated properly, stray animals can bring threats to public health, as  they are the main cause of rabies(狂犬病)in cities.  "Now, many young people in China  have agreed upon the need to strike a balance between humans and nature. The only problem is  how," said Yang. Yang and her fellow volunteers are cautious about what they do to help. For  instance, sometimes people feed stray cats human food such as chocolate. But Yang and her  friends point that such food can be dangerous to stray cats.
Yang also cooperates with Non-Governmental Organizations to spread animal protection  knowledge. One of their recent exhibits was about animals in the entertainment industry. "We  are still figuring out the best way to protect animals, but simple deeds such as saying no to animal  performances can prevent wildlife from being captured and tamed. Step by step, we'll eventually  reach our goal," she said.
Why did Yang Yi join the environmental protection association?

A.She majored in a relevant field.
B.She wanted to protect nature and animals.
C.She was uncertain about her life.
D.She intended to know about animal welfare.

What do the group members do for stray animals?

A.They shelter them with old clothes.
B.They feed human food to them.
C.They train them for entertainment.
D.They donate money to the association.

In paragraph 3,Yang believes that

A.all animals should live naturally
B.young people have known how to balance human and nature
C.stray animals are bound to spread rabies
D.chocolate is not a proper food for stray cats

What does Yang Yi think of her work?

A.Enjoyable. B.Doubtful. C.Hopeful. D.Awful.

If we say the four great inventions (Gunpowder,Compass,Paper and Art of Printing) reflected ancient China’s scientific achievements,then Zhaozhou Stone Bridge perfectly represented one of the greatest contributions to ancient China’s bridge building.Nobody was unfamiliar with the stone bridge full of legends and vivid folk stories.
The ancient Zhaozhou stone bridge started to be built in 590 during the Sui Dynasty (581~618) and established in 608.The pioneer for building the bridge was Li Chun who overcame unimaginable difficulties,undergoing all hardships.The location of the bridge is in Zhao County south,Hebei Province.It lay across the Xiaoshui River,far away from the mountains that provided rocky materials.In ancient times,it was such a busy,deep and wide river that could be used as an important carriage to transport heavy rocks and other materials.As we know,no train,no lifting machine could be used to move granite(花岗岩)blocks to the construction site.As an intelligent stonemason and engineer,Li Chun worked out his plan and design all from his own direct observation and investigation.It took his whole life-time in completing the great historical project inChina.Nowadays it is not only a historical remarkable model of architecture,but also a brilliant Chinese cultural crystallization(结晶) of wisdom.
The entire length of the bridge is 50.82 meters with 10 meters width.The whole stone bridge looks like a big bow,the span of which is 37.02 meters,and its height from the top to the surface of water at a regular position is 7.23 meters.The bridge arch seems to be moving smoothly and flatly.The whole arch consists of 28 big granite blocks connected each other tightly together.On both end sides of the general arch there are 4 smaller arches,2 of which on one side,the other 2 on the other side.The smaller arches could be used to decrease the weight of the bridge and save stone materials,and help flood get through easily,which seems to be much prettier.Such a hard-thinking and careful consideration of the engineering article is really a model of design and layout.The span was much wider than the other stone bridge in ancient times all over China.
Today Zhaozhou Stone Bridge is one of international cultural relics and perfectly protected and preserved by the concerned administration of China.
The best title of this passage is _________.

A.Great engineer in ancient China B.Zhaozhou stone bridge
C.Four great inventions D.How to build a bridge

The third paragraph mainly tells us _________.

A.the materials of Zhaozhou bridge B.the structure of Zhaozhou bridge
C.the arches of Zhaozhou bridge D.the importance of Zhaozhou bridge

No one can believe that the over 6 300-kilometer long Great Wall might disappear some day.Believe it or not,the Great Wall is being destroyed by people.Less than 20 percent of the Great Wall built in the Ming Dynasty is still perfect,but about 80 percent is in danger.The Great Wall can be called “great” mostly because of its amazing length.But we should realize that the length was made up of one brick at a time.If we do nothing to save the Great Wall,it will become a series of separate wasteland rather than a historic site.
The Great Wall is actually a series of walls built and rebuilt by different dynasties over the past 2 000 years.It began in the rule of China’s first emperor,Qin Shihuang of the Qin Dynasty (221 BC~206 BC),and lasted into the Ming Dynasty.The parts built before the Ming Dynasty have nearly disappeared.People are familiar with sections such as Badaling in Beijing and Jiayuguan Pass in Gansu because they have been open to tourists for many years.But those sections far away from the public eyes have been almost forgotten.
Few local people knew the 3-meter-high walls made of earth and stones beside them are part of the Great Wall.The lack of knowledge is considered as one of the main reasons behind human.
The bricks on the Great Wall are carried off by countryside people to build their houses,sheep corral(畜栏) and pigsties(猪圈).Some were taken away to build roads.Bricks carved with people’s names are put away as remembrance.Rubbish is spread over the battlements(城垛).The bricks can be sold for 15 yuan per tractor load.Those who destroyed and are destroying the Great Wall know its name,but are not clear about its cultural meaning.It will take a long time to let them know this.The local farmers not only carried off the body of the Wall but dug out the entire base.
It is necessary to protect the Great Wall.First of all,the officials should be aware of theimportance of the Great Wall.Young Chinese should know more about the nation’s great civilization (文明)and learn to love it.
The main reason for which the Great Wall can be called“great”is__________.

A.it was made by brick B.it was very wide
C.it was very long D.it had a long history

Why does the author say the Great Wall might disappear?

A.It is useless from now on. B.It will be replaced by a new one.
C.Some parts of it are being destroyed. D.It’s too old to be used again.

The underlined part “those sections far away from the public eyes” refers to the parts of the Great Wall__________.

A.that are too difficult to understand B.nobody can watch
C.that are too far to been seen D.that are not well known to the public

What’s the main reason of the Great Wall’s being destroyed?

A.The local people are short of culture knowledge.
B.The local people need bricks and stones to build houses.
C.The local people think that the Great Wall is not important.
D.The local people are against the government.
