At the age of two, she moved with her mother and two sisters to Timmins, a town north of Toronto. When Shania was eight years old, her mother took her to many different bars, clubs and concerts to perform. In high school, Shania joined a local band, with which she often performed. After that, Shania moved to Toronto, where she continued singing.When Shania was 21 years old, her parents were killed in a car accident. She had to take over the role of parent to her younger siblings(兄弟姐妹). Taking care of two teenage brothers and a sister was a Gordian knot. Suddenly, she had to pay the bills, keep food on the table, and make a living. Anyway,Shania managed to pay the bills by singing here and there.In 1991, Shania went to Nashville, the home of the country music industry. In 1993, she recorded Shania Twain, her first CD. In 1995, her next CD, The Woman in Me, which had eight hit songs, sold more than ten million copies. Her third CD, Come on Over, was also popular and she had another hit song.Shania and Robert Lange, a famous producer, got married in 1993. After finishing her 2000 world tour, she decided to take a break from performing. In August 2001, they had a lovely son, whom they named Eja. After September 11th, Shania decided to spend more time on her family and stayed at home until the fall of 2002. Her reappearance in the music world put her face on magazine covers and country music publications. She also began to promote(宣传) her new CD, Up, on TV shows.24.

Shania Twain’s opinion on music.CWhen temperatures are high, walking on hot roadways, parking lots, and other paved surfaces can really burn your feet. All of that heat comes from the energy of the sun reacting with the pavement. But what if we could turn that energy into electricity? It may sound like a crazy science dream, but an electrical engineer and his wife may have found a way to do just that.Scott Brusaw has developed a six-sided glass panel (面板) that contains solar cells, which can change sunlight into electricity. The panels fit together and can form a flat surface on the ground. Brusaw and his wife, Julie, founded a company called Solar Roadways to further develop the idea and produce these new solar panels. They plan to use their invention to replace the pavement on U.S. roads.According to the Brusaws, if we replaced all of the nation’s asphalt (沥青) with these solar panels, the network would produce more than three times the amount of electricity currently used by the United States in a year. In return, electricity from solar panels doesn’t produce harmful pollution, so the panels could be a smart choice for the environment.The U.S. government sees some promise in the Solar Roadways project.A number of laboratories around the country have tested the panels to see if they can withstand (经受) the heavy traffic and rough weather that asphalt pavement suffers from year to year. The lab results show that notonly do the panels meet the requirements, but they can actually handle more weight than they need to.Now, money must be raised to start building the panel pavement system. The Brusaws have raised more than $1 million from ordinary people who learned about their project. However, some experts predict the Brusaws’ plan could finally cost more than $1 trillion.Could Solar Roadways be the answer to the world’s ever-growing need for electricity? A lot of obstacles (阻碍) stand in the way of re-creating the highway system out of solar panels. But the Brusaws may just be paving a road to the future.28. The glass panel the Brusaws have developed _____.A. is too heavy to carryB. has a high temperatureC. is powered by an engineD. is environmentally-friendly29. What’s the U.S. government’s attitude towards the Brusaws’ plan now?A. Worried.B. Doubtful.C. Interested.D. Supportive.30. What does the underlined part “their project” in Paragraph 5 refer to?A. Replacing asphalt roads with solar panels.B. Designing more money-saving solar panels.C. Testing the solar panels the Brusaws invented.D. Reducing the ever-growing need for electricity.31. What would be the best title for the text?A. Advantages of sunlightB. Better choice for your feetC. Power from the streetsD. Finding more future energyDAs a child, visiting the zoo was more a punishment than a treat. I didn’t find the chimps’ tea parties funny, nor the bird shows entertaining. Feed ing time for seals was less painful, but their performances still seemed like they belonged more in a circus（马戏团）.And I hated circuses, especially the animal acts — men teasing lions, girls balancing on elephants and monkeys playing football. I knew that every trick a circus animal did was unnatural, achieved through strict training and quite possibly cruelty.Happily, during my lifetime public attitudes and the law have changed. Circuses using wild animals are now almost extinct(消失), and zoos have definitely evolved.When my children were young, I occasionally took them to our local zoo. The elephants were in tiny cages and the gorillas looked bored as they sat peeling bananas and staring at teasing visitors. Each cage had a sign which listed the animal’s name and where it came from. But, back then, there was little information included about the environmental challenges they faced.As a result, environmentalists and animal lovers often oppose zoos. “Animals belong in the wild,” is a common and understandable complaint. But what do the animals themselves prefer?Generally speaking, zoo animals have a longer life. But —you may protest —they are not free. What? Free to be hunted and killed, free to die of hunger or thirst? Maybe sitting in a cage eating bananas isn’t so bad.Not that such conditions are acceptable in modern zoos, due to the work of BIAZA, the British and Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums. These days every zoo requires BIAZA’s approval to operate, and the association setsthe standards, observes conditions in zoos and develops animal-research programmes, both in the UK and abroad. BIAZA also organizes the animal exchanges between zoos all over the world.Consequently, today, most zoo animals are born and raised in zoos, live in large, comfortable enclosures and are cared for by well-trained, knowledgeable and caring zoo employees. Of course it’s no substitute for living in the wild but unfortunately this isn’t always possible. Meanwhile, why not visit your local zoo and decide for yourself?32. The passage is mainly about __________.A. how zoos have improvedB. whether a zoo should be closed downC. a new environmental organizationD. the difference between zoos and circuses33. From Paragraph 2, we can guess that the writer believes circus animals __________.A. had much shorter lives than those in the wildB. were not treated well by their trainersC. should have been placed in zoosD. were not as intelligent as those in zoos34. Which of the following roles are performed by BIAZA?A. Organizing animal study projects and training zoo workers.B. Checking zoo conditions and arranging animal exchanges.C. Designing zoos and approving zoo operations.D. Caring for ill animals and setting zoo standards.35. Which of the following statements about zoos would the writer agree with?A. Zoo animals should be freed into the wild.B. Zoos are more popular now than in the past.C. Zoo animals are more restricted than in the past.D. Zoos now provide caring living conditions for animals.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
