第三部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）

第一节：（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

A

Hello! My name is Lisa, and I am a lioness. I live on the open grasslands of Africa with my family. Lions living in a group are called a pride.

The area where a pride lives is big! We roar (咆哮) to tell each other where we are and to warn strangers to stay away.

Meet my new baby brother. His name is Leon. See the spots on his fur? We lions are born spotted or striped (有条纹的). As we grow older, the spots gradually disappear.

Lionesses usually spend their entire lives with their birth pride, but Leon will leave when he is about three years old. He’ll run around with a male (雄性的) friend or relative for a few years until they take over a pride of their own.

But for now, we have lots of fun together. We often play and fight for hours, which can help us practice skills that we will need for hunting.

We lions keep ourselves very clean. Just like a house cat, I clean my fur (毛) with my tongue. We clean for each other, too, to show we’re friends.

Lions like to sleep for most of the day. We hunt in the cool evening. Female (雌性的) lions hunt more often than male lions. We work together as a team. At the right moment, we attack and kill our prey. Then we share it. Male lions usually eat first. Females eat next. Baby lions are the last to eat. The smallest one gets the least food.

Since we are full, it’s time to go to find a nice place for a sleep. Bye!

41. According to the passage, Leon _____.

A. hunts more often than his sisters

B. will have spots on his fur for the whole of his life

C. the animal that is powerful

D. the animal that is ill

43. Which of the following is NOT true?

A. Lions sometimes clean their fur for each other.

B. Lions also develop their skills of hunting by having fun.

C. Lions in Africa usually hunt for food in the evening.

D. Baby lions are often the first to get food in their group.

44. The passage is written for _____.

It is difficult for doctors to help a person with a damaged brain. Without enough blood, the brain lives for only three to five minutes. More often the doctors can't fix the damage. Sometimes they are afraid to try something to help because it is dangerous to work on the brain. The doctors might make the person worse if he operates on the brain.

Dr. Robert White, a famous professor and doctor, thinks he knows a way to help. He thinks doctors should make the brain very cold. If it is very cold, the brain can live without blood for 30 minutes. This gives the doctor a longer time to do something for the brain.

Dr. White tried his idea on 13 monkeys. First he taught them to do different jobs, then he operated on them. He made the monkeys' blood go through a machine. The machine cooled the blood. Then the machine sent the blood back to the monkeys' brains. When the brain's temperature was 10°C, Dr. White stopped the blood to the brain. After 30 minutes he turned the blood back on. He warmed the blood again. After their operations the monkeys were like they had been before. They were healthy and busy. Each one could still do the jobs the doctor had taught them.

45. The biggest difficulty in operating on the damaged brain is that _______.A. the time is too short for doctors??

B. the patients are often too nervousC. the damage is extremely hard to fix?

D. the blood-cooling machine might break down46. The brain operation was made possible mainly by _______. A. taking the blood out of the brain ??

B. trying the operation on monkeys firstC. having the blood go through a machine

D. lowering the brain' s temperature47. With Dr. White's new idea, the operation on the damaged brain _______. A. can last as long as 30 minutes????? ?

B. can keep the brain' s blood warmC. can keep the patient' s brain healthy? ?

D. can help monkeys do different jobs48. What is the right order
