The baby elephant, Sheila, was moved out of Belfast Zoo because of fears she might be hit by bombers (轰炸机) during the Belfast Blitz (闪电战) of 1941.
She was one of the lucky ones. A lot of the animals were killed because of fears they might escape during the bombing and attack people. They included a tiger, a black bear, a wolf, and two polar bears.
But Sheila was walked down the road by zoo-keepers to a nearby house where a woman took her in and kept her in her backyard for several months until the bombing was over.
The woman has never been identified (确认) and the zoo knows her only as “the elephant angel”. As the zoo celebrates its 75th birthday, people have decided to try to find the elephant’s saver. Mark Challis is the manager of Belfast Zoo. He explained a bit more about Sheila’s story.
“Well, we know that Sheila, the elephant that was in the zoo at that time spent some time living with a lady relatively near to the zoo and we have one sweet photo, you can see it on our zoo website.”
“In the photo you can see the elephant with the lady in her back garden and that’s almost all we know. So we’re just trying to find a little bit more information and we are not even sure if the lady is alive today, but maybe her relatives or somebody will recognize the back of that house and we can fill in some detail on this story.”
Once the bombing was over, Sheila went back to the zoo and lived for another quarter of a century. She died of a skin disease in 1966.

B. Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage (选择最恰当的单词或词语完成短文): (12分)
The smell of old, dusty books reminds me of my father. As a good collector, he had many books, most of which went unread. He owned books on 80 from medicine to several sets of encyclopedias. When I enter one of his favorite bookshops, such as Pewell’s, I am carried back to a 81 when two of us were happy then.
I see him standing, looking through a magazine, or opening his wallet to pay for another book, yet knowing that Mom would lecture him on “ 82 money on books you never read!”
Walking past rows and rows of books in our study, I remember how, after the cancer(癌症) struck, he came less and less and read fewer and fewer books. They became just part of the furniture, collecting only dust and 83 .
Perhaps knowing he would never read them all, he gave almost all of the books away, keeping only a few. He treated them well, as if any damage would destroy them totally.
I have read a few now, after he died, and each time it causes a 84 . But I suppose it is a kind of joy, because if I can take on his desire for knowledge, cheerful smile, and willingness to help others, then like a match in the 85 , I will bring a little light into the world. And if that light touches others, maybe it will spread far and wide, to light up the heavens. I think he’d like that.
80. A) something
B) all
C) nothing
D) everything
81. A) time
B) day
C) month
D) year
82. A) spending
B) taking
C) wasting
D) using
83. A) memories
B) books
C) money
D) photos
84. A) mind
B) damage
C) hurt
D) injury
85. A) village
B) dream
C) house
D) darkness
C. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words (在短文的空格内填入适当的词,使其内容通顺,每空格限填一词,首字母已给): (14分)
What will college students in New York plan for spring outing? Bookings to popular beach destinations are strong, a 86 to travel companies. Cancun and Jamaica are top destinations for spring outing. Some 30,000 revellers(狂欢者) are expected to v 87 the beach spot in Mexico this year. The same number came to Cancun last year. Also popular is Acapulco. Acapulco has some of the hottest night clubs, and many are o 88 all night.
Scott Schechter, 22, a Boston University senior, said he was looking for that big-party atmosphere. “Generally, when I think of spring outing, most of the nice spring outing locations that aren’t trans-Atlantic would be in Mexico,” he said. “The idea of t 89 outside the country makes it a little more exciting.”
P 90 because of the economy, more students are choosing the Party Bus this year. The bus departs from locations in California, Texas, Arizona and New Mexico, to Mazatlan, Mexico. Prices for the seven-night trip (two nights on the bus), start at $300 each p 91 on StudentCity.com. Besides Cancun, Puerto Vallarta and Los Cabos are the m 92 popular international destinations for people. But both have slipped in overall popularity from last year, which suggests people are vacationing closer to home.
D. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题): (12分)
If you don’t know how much water you need, I’m not surprised. Different advice in recent newspapers appears to be against the old “8-a-day” advice we all grew up with. Is it necessary to drink down eight glasses of water daily, or is this already out of date?
We’ve heard for years that eight glasses of water daily is necessary for a person to keep healthy. Your weight loss and health depend on it. Drink eight glasses of water daily and see clearer skin, better sleep, and improve eyesight. We’re warned of losing water without at least eight glasses. But, there are some new ideas of examining your daily diet, including what you eat, as well as what you drink.
The answer is --- you need what you need! If it’s summer, you need more. If you’re exercising, you need more. If you’re a “normal” inactive person, and not exercising more than 15-20 minutes daily, you need no more than four glasses of water daily. Most drinks can be counted as part of your daily water intake(摄入). Although the World Health Organization suggests that eight cups, the old “8-a-day” rule is based on studies on people under difficult situations, including soldiers at high altitude(高空) and hospitalized patients. What you and I need is different.
93. Is it possible for people not to know how much water they need daily?
94. What does the old “8-a day” advice mean?
95. How much water do you need daily if you’re a “normal” inactive person?
96. Who is the old “8-a day” rule for?
97. People under difficult situations need different amount of water, don’t they?
98. What is the passage mainly about?
VII. Writing (作文): (共20分)
99. Write at least 60 words about the topic “When I had difficulty in doing something, … … ”. (以“当我遇到困难的时候, … … ”为题写一篇不少于60个词的短文,标点符号不占格。)
Use the following points as a reference. (以下问题仅供参考)
1. What difficulty did you have?
2. What was your way to deal with it?
3. How did you feel after you overcame(克服) it?
