28、   The African elephant will disappear within two decades if urgent action is not taken to save one of the world's most iconic animal species, the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) has warned in a new campaign fundraiser.

The population of these elephants—the largest animal currently walking the earth—has declined by 70 percent in the last 40 years, in large part because of the illegal ivory trade, which is the biggest driver of elephant poaching, according to the non-profit.

In fact, 20,000 elephants are killed every year to feed this trade—which is equivalent to one death every 26 minutes.

Once an elephant is killed, poachers harvest the ivory to meet a growing demand for products made from this material. Ivory can be turned into ornaments and decorations, as well as being used in traditional Asian medicine for its intended therapeutic value. Elephants are also sometimes killed to provide a source of meat.

This poaching takes place despite a global ban on ivory sales under the CITES multilateral treaty (the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) which was introduced in 1990. Above the poachers are powerful organized criminal networks which commonly engage in corruption, money laundering and assassinations.

Part of the issue in policing the problem is that the governments of nations where Africans elephants live often lack sufficient resources to protect and monitor elephant herds, which often reside in remote and inaccessible habitats. When the animals are killed, they often suffer a brutal death.

African elephants are found in 37 countries across the continent and are categorized as “vulnerable” by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) with a remaining population of around 415,000 in the wild, according to WWF.

These animals play a crucial role in the ecosystem, helping to maintain healthy habitats for many other species.  This is because African elephants help to disperse seeds.

The population of African elephants—which are split into two subspecies—once numbered between three and five million during the last century. However, this figure has fallen dramatically as a result of poaching and other factors, such as habitat fragmentation or loss.

【1】The word “poaching” (paragraph 2) probably means ________.

A.desperate desire B.severe damage

C.illegal hunting D.cruel killing

【2】What is the main reason for the sharp decline in the number of African elephants？

A.They were hunted by other animals.

B.They failed to survive the natural disasters.

C.There is no suitable living environment.

D.They were illegally traded for ivory.

【3】Which of the following can be learned from the passage?

A.Absence of bans or regulations on ivory sales is the biggest driver of elephant poaching.

B.Elephants living in remote habitats are less vulnerable than those living in nations with adequate resources.

C.If the African elephant disappear, the ecosystem there is likely to be ruined.

D.African elephant herbs usually migrated in large population.

【4】What’s the best title for this passage?

A.African Elephants Will Be Gone in The Future

B.African Elephants, Leading Role in Ecosystem

C.The Population of African Elephants

D.Different Types of African Elephants

29、Man has always dreamt of a world free from suffering, injustice, and above all, work. Adam and Eve are placed by God in a garden full of trees “pleasant to the sight, and good for food”. The medieval utopia (乌托邦) of Cockeyne was populated by hens laying soft-boiled eggs and roast pigs with carving knives stuck in their back.

Modern technology has made such pictures a reality. Writing in 1929, economist John Maynard Keynes predicted that, over the next 100 years, standards of living in the affluent (富铙的) world would rise between four to eight times. Freed from the burden of economic need, man would face his real, permanent problem: “How to spend the leisure (闲暇) time wisely and well?”

Well, it hasn’t happened quite like that. Keynes got one thing right: standards of living in the affluent world have indeed risen about four times. But hours of work have not fallen as much as the former. Today in Britain, we work on average about 40 hours a week, down from 50 hours in 1930, but nowhere near the 15 hours that Keynes foresaw. Why?

My father Robert and I wrote a book titled How Much is Enough, in which we tried to solve this “Keynes problem”. Among other explanations, we considered the possibility that people are frightened by endless leisure.

We concluded that this may well be true — but only because people do not know what leisure really is, or might become. Leisure today is thought of as a mere interlude in the productive process, a moment to relax before the next period of work. Indeed, it’s impossible for us to tell modern leisure apart from work. We play golf in order to stay fit, party in order to network, invest quality time in our children in order to keep them sweet. No wonder a life of leisure fills us with fear.

How can we recover real leisure? The first step would be to recall the original meaning of leisure. Leisure in the ancient world — “schole” in Greek, and “otium” in Latin — was not just time off work but a different form of activity in its own right. It was what was done freely, for its own sake, rather than for the purpose of something else.

【1】What can we infer from Paragraph 1?

A．Adam and Eve were enjoying themselves in a garden.

B．Soft-boiled eggs laid by hens were popular with people.

C．Man has long been expecting a life with enough leisure.

D．Man has dreamed of working in a world full of justice freely.

【2】Which of the following can best explain the meaning of the “Keynes problem”?

A．People don’t understand the true meaning of work.

B．People can’t tell the difference between leisure and work.

C．People have no idea how to make good use of leisure time.

D．People don’t know how to rest before restarting their work.

【3】What does the underlined word “interlude” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?

A．Break.

B．Stop.

C．End.

D．Change.

【4】In the author’s opinion, what does leisure probably mean?

A．Playing golf with your friends after work.

B．Attending parties that are good for you.

C．The right to do something for a particular purpose.

D．Enjoying something meaningful without a purpose.

【5】What is the passage mainly about?

A．The pleasure from leisure.

B．The real meaning of leisure.

C．The affluent world full of leisure.

D．The author’s book How Much Is Enough.

On a broiling afternoon when the men were away at work and all the women napped, I moved through majestic depths of silences, silences so immense I could hear the corn 【1】. Under these silences there was a / an orchestra of natural music playing notes no city child would ever hear. A certain cackle from the henhouse meant we had gained an egg. The creak of a porch swing told of a momentary breeze blowing across my grandmother’s yard. As I 【2】 along a mossy bank to surprise a frog, a 【3】splash told me the quarry had spotted me and slipped into the stream. Wandering among the sleeping houses, I learned that tin roofs crackle under the power of the sun, and when I tired and came back to my grandmother’s house, I padded into her dark cool living room, lay 【4】 on the floor, and listened to the hypnotic beat of her pendulum clock on the wall ticking the meaningless hours away.

I was enjoying the luxuries of a rustic nineteenth-century boyhood, but for the women Morrisonville life had few 【5】. Their lives were hard, endless, dirty labor.

For baths, laundry, and dishwashing, they hauled buckets of water from a spring at the foot of a hill. To heat it, they chopped kindling to fire their wood stoves. They boiled laundry in tubs, scrubbed it on washboards until knuckles were 【6】, and wrung it out by hand. Ironing was a business of lifting heavy metal weights heated on the stove top.

They scrubbed floors on hands and knees, thrashed rugs with carpet beaters, killed and plucked their own chickens, baked bread and parties, grew and conned their won vegetables, patched the family’s clothing on treadle-operated sewing machines, 【7】before the men to start the stove for breakfast and pack lunch pails, polished the chimneys of kerosene lamps, and even found time to tend the flowers that grew around every house. By the end of a summer day a Morrisonville woman had toiled like a serf.

At sundown the men drifted back from the fields exhausted and 【8】. They scrubbed themselves in enamel basins and, when supper was eaten, climbed up onto the porch to watch the night arrive. Presently the women 【9】 them, and the twilight music of Morrisonville began.

The swing creaking , rocking chairs 【10】 on the porch planks, voices murmuring approval of the sagacity of Uncle Irvey as he quietly observed for probably the ten-thousandth time in his life, “A man works from sun to sun, but a woman’s work is never done.”

35、A: Excuse me, do you know where the chemistry lab is?

A: Can you go there without a t【3】?

B: No. That’s not allowed.

A: What does the teacher often tell you to do when you are doing an e【4】?

B: He often tells us to look c【5】and follow the i【6】.

A: What will you do when you finish the experiment?

B: We must put e【7】back in the cupboards and wash our hands.

A: Right. It is very i【8】to keep the lab clean.

B: Yes, safe as well. We must turn off the e【9】before l【10】the lab.

36、根据句意填空

In the USA, the Amish-a Christian group-are famous because they drive 【1】 instead of cars, do not use TVs or refrigerators, and do not have personal telephones. Many people assume the Amish must have 【2】 reasons for their many rules, but this is not true. In truth, whenever a new technology is introduced, the Amish meet and discuss its advantages and disadvantages. They then vote on whether they will accept it. The Amish 【3】 cars because they like having 【4】 communities where everyone lives close together. They have no TVs or refrigerators because their homes do not have electricity-they do not think it is necessary and 【5】 dealing with strangers, such as the people who work at the electric company.
