　　(2016·山东济南高三高考模拟考试)The loneliest chimp (黑猩猩) in the world just got the best surprise — a hug from a new friend. Ponso has been by himself for nearly three years, finding himself alone after his wife and

　　children

　　died

　　on

　　the

　　island

　　where

　　they were abandoned by a medical testing company many years ago.

　　For years a nearby villager named Germain has been Ponso's only company, visiting him so often to bring bananas and bread — the chimp's only source of food on the tiny island. It was clear how much Ponso missed companionship when he was recently visited by Chimpanzee Conservation Centre Director Estelle Raballand.

　　The chimp immediately embraced Estelle Raballand in a huge hug and laughed as she reached out for him, with his smile from ear to ear.

　　For those who know Ponso's backstory, his immediate ease and trust in humans might be surprising. Ponso was one of 20 chimps, all between the ages of 7 to 11 years old, relocated to an island off the Ivory Coast after being used for testing. After the tests were completed in 2005, the lab reportedly transferred the chimps to a string of islands, occasionally dropping off food and water because there was none in the chimps' new homes.

　　Disease and hunger soon left only Ponso, his mate and their two children standing. But at the end of 2016 they died within days and Ponso is now completely alone.

　　A group called SOS PONSO is trying to raise money for the poor lonely chimp, already achieving its goal of

　　20,000 — all of which will be used for Ponso's care.

　　4.What do we know about the chimp Ponso?

　　A．He was deserted by his family.

　　B．Frightened.

　　C．Embarrassed.

　　D．Confused.

　　6．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?

　　A．The chimps' new settlements.

　　B．How Ponso came to the island.

　　C．Why Ponso was used for a test.

　　D．The medical test about chimps.

　　7．What can be inferred from the text?

　　A．Germain won't visit Ponso anymore.

　　B．A new lab will be built on the island.

　　C．Many people show concern for Ponso.

　　D．More chimps will be brought to the island.

　　(2016·广州普通高中毕业班综合测试一)It was December 25, 1914, only 5 months into World War Ⅰ. German, British, and French soldiers, already sick and tired of the senseless killing, disobeyed their superiors and started socialising with “the enemy” along two­thirds of the Western Front.

　　German troops held up Christmas trees with signs “Merry Christmas”.

　　Thousands of troops ran across the battlefields covered

　　with

　　dead

　　bodies.

　　They

　　sang

　　Christmas

　　songs, exchanged photographs of loved ones back home, shared food and even played football. Soldiers hugged men they had been trying to kill a few short hours before. They agreed to warn each other if their officers forced them to fire their weapons, and to aim high.

　　Fear ran through the military leaders on both sides. They felt that their power was being challenged: soldiers declaring their brotherhood

　　with

　　each

　　other and refusing to

　　fight. Generals declared this unexpected peacemaking illegal and said that participating soldiers would face a military court. Those found guilty would be imprisoned or even shot. By March 1915 the socialising movement had been destroyed and the killing machine was back in full operation. Over the next three years more than fifteen million people died in the war.

　　Not many people have heard the story of the Christmas Truce (休战). On Christmas Day, 1988, a local radio host in Boston played “Christmas in the Trenches”， a song about the Christmas Truce, several times and was stunned by his listeners' response. Thousands of people called in, praising the song, with many moved to tears by the amazing events it describes.

　　You can probably guess why the callers were in tears. The Christmas Truce story goes against most of what we have been taught about people. It lets us see the world as it can be and says, “This really happened once.” It shows us the potential we have as humans, and contradicts all of those TV and newspaper stories that tell us how mean and heartless people are. It is like hearing that our deepest wishes really are true: the world really can be different.

　　8．The soldiers began socialising with the enemy because ________.

　　A．they couldn't bear the meaningless killing

　　B．it was the best way to avoid being killed

　　C．they feared that they would be caught

　　D．their enemies were from similar backgrounds

　　9．How did the generals finally put an end to the soldiers' socialising?

　　A．They sent the soldiers' loved ones to prison.

　　B．They moved the two groups of soldiers further

　　apart.

　　C．They increased the number of officers to control the soldiers.

　　D．They warned the soldiers that they would face severe punishment.

　　10．The underlined word “stunned”

　　in Paragraph 4 most probably means “________”．

　　A．satisfied

　　B．shocked

　　C．amused

　　D．confused

　　11．The author uses the story of the soldiers to imply that human beings ________.

　　A．are not trustworthy under stress

　　B．are naturally aggressive and warlike

　　C．are basically caring and kind­hearted

　　D．will always do what is in their own self­interest

　　D

　　(2016·日照5月模拟)Cheerleading (拉拉队) dates back to the late 19th century, when crowds began to chant and yell to encourage their teams. Credit for the first organized cheer was given to a University of Minnesota student named Johnny Campbell, who got the students to shout “Rah, rah, rah! Sku­u­mar, Hoo­rah! Hoo­rah! Varsity! Varsity! Varsity, Minn­e­so­ta！” for their football team in the 1898 season. Soon after, a yell­leader group of six male students was organized, a practice that became popular at numerous other universities.
