Judy Hopps, the main character, becomes the first rabbit police officer in the city. While solving a mystery, she meets the smart fox, Nick,who helps her with her case(案件) , and some other animals like the lion mayor(市长) and a mouse called Flash. Here is something more about themovie.There are 64 kinds of animals in the movie. All of them looklike real ones except Judy, the first rabbit police officer. Itsappearance is a bit different from real rabbits. Real rabbitsactually have split lips (嘴唇) , but the film makers decided tomake Judy's lip all together to look nice.Film makers learned that not all fur(皮毛) of animals is the same. In the movie, some of polar bears' fur is clear. It appears white because the light reflects off it. Part of fox fur is dark at the root, getting lighter till its red top. They did so to make sure that the animals in Zootopia were believable.Moreover, a film maker, Nathan Warner with his partners also took a trip to Africa for researching animals. There they had a close watching of different animals. According to their discovery, these artists added leaves to animals' coats like the big sheep. They also make animals' tears run from the inside corners of eyes down to the outside of the mouths.31.From the passage we know that Zootopia may be the name of a(n) ______ .A.animalB.mayorC.zooD.city32.Which of the names doesn't belong to the 64 animals in the movie?A.Flash.B.Nathan Warner.C.Nick.D.Judy Hopps.33.What does the underlined word" split" mean in Chinese?A.裂开的B.完美的C.无缝的D.光滑的34.Which statement is not true according to the passage?A.Nick is a smart fox and helps the police officer, Judy Hopps to solve a case.B.In the movie, the animals look the same as the real ones including Judy.C.Part of fox fur is dark at the root and gets lighter till its red top.D.The artists added leaves to animals' coats to make them believable.35.What is this passage mainly about?A.The story happened among the animals in Zootopia.B.A special rabbit.C.Some fun facts about Zootopia.D.All the steps of making this movie.CLittle stream ran down from a high mountain through manyvillages and forests. Then it reached a desert. "I went through so many difficulties.I should have no problem crossing the desert," she thought. As she started, she found herself slowly disappearing into the sand. After many tries, she still failed. " Maybe I can't reach the ocean," she said sadly to herself.At this time, a deep voice said, "If a breeze (微风) can cross the desert, so can a river." It was the voice of the desert. But the little stream answered, "That's because a breeze can fly, but I cannot.""That's because you can't give up what you are. Let yourself evaporate (蒸发) into the breeze, and it can take you across," said the desert. " Give up what I am now? No !No ! " The little stream could not accept this idea. "The breeze can carry the vapor (蒸气) across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form a river again," said the desert. "And whether you're a river or vapor, your nature never changes." Hearing this, the little stream went into the open arms of the breeze. It carried her to the next stage of her life.The course of our lives is like the experience of the little stream. If you want to go through difficulties in your life to head for success, you should also change the way you are.36.The little stream aimed to reach _____ .A.the forestB.the oceanC.the desertD.the river37.The little stream _____ before she got to the desert.A.didn't meet many difficultiesB.was worried about herselfC.knew well about the desertD.was confident about herself38.At first,the little stream didn't accept the desert's advice because _____ .A.she failed many timesB.she was afraid of the breezeC.she wasn't able to flyD.she wouldn't give up what she was39.The little stream finally crossed the desert by _____ .A.evaporating into the breezeB.forming a riverC.disappearing into the sandD.changing her nature40.What does the story mainly tell us?A.The road to success is not always easy and smooth.B.Whatever others say,we should always be ourselves.C.To succeed,we should change the way we are if necessary.D.We may experience many difficulties in life just like the little stream.Ⅳ，任务型阅读（2016山东淄博中考）阅读短文，根据要求完成下面各小题。
