26、Elephants might be the most well-known and well-loved animal in African wildlife. But conservation (保护) of the African elephant still faces special difficulties. While the elephant population is half of what it was 40 years ago, some areas of Africa have more elephants than populated areas can support. That’s why AWF scientists are studying elephant behavior, protecting habitats and finding ways for humans to live peacefully with elephants in Africa.

Years ago, overhunting and the ivory trade were the biggest threats to elephants’ survival. Luckily, ivory bans (禁令), hunting rules and protected areas protect elephants from these dangers today.

The 21st century brings a different challenge to elephant conservation—land-use. Elephants walk across borders and outside parks and other protected areas. So they often destroy crops, causing conflicts (冲突) between local farmers and these big animals.

Successful conservation strategies must allow elephants to walk freely in their natural habitats while reducing conflicts between elephants and local people.

AWF researchers are searching for a way to give both elephants and people the space they need. The AWF is collecting information on elephant habitats and behavior. The information they gather will help to develop the widest possible space for elephants.

The AWF is helping elephants by protecting their habitats. And they also work with local farmers to improve their life in order to encourage them to protect rather than destroy elephants.

【1】The first paragraph of the text is mainly to tell readers ________.

A．African elephants are endangered now.

B．there remains a lot to do to protect African elephants.

C．African elephants are popular animals.

D．the number of African elephants has increased over the years.

【2】What is the biggest difficulty in protecting African elephants now?

A．They are still being killed.

B．Their habitats are being destroyed.

C．They don’t have enough food.

D．They can’t live in peace with farmers.

【3】To protect elephants, the AWF does all the following EXCEPT ________.

A．feeding elephants

B．protecting elephants’ habitats

C．doing research on elephants

D．helping farmers improve their life

【4】Which is TRUE according to the passage??

A．Overhunting and the ivory trade were the biggest threat to elephants’ survival.

B．AWF scientists are doing researching on farmer.

C．It’s no challenge to protect elephant conservation

D．Now African elephants are safe.

27、   It is widely believed that smiling means a person is happy, and it usually occurs when they're meeting another person or a group of people. However, a new study led by the body language expert Dr. Harry Witchel shows this isn't always the case.

In his research, he asked 44 participants aged 18-35 to play a geography quiz game consisting of nine difficult questions so that they often got the answer wrong. Participants seated interacted with a computer alone in a room while their faces were video recorded.

After the quiz, the participants were asked to rate their experience using a range of 12 emotions including “bored”, “interested” and “frustrated”. Meanwhile, their facial expressions were then computer analysed frame by frame in order to judge how much they were smiling based on a scale of between 0 to 1.

Dr Witchel said: “According to some researchers, a real smile reflects the inner state of cheerfulness or amusement. However, behavioral ecology theory suggests that all smiles are tools used in social interactions, meaning cheerfulness is neither necessary nor rich for smiling. Our study showed that in these human-computer interaction experiments, smiling isn't driven by happiness; it is associated with subjective involvement(主观参与),which acts like a social fuel for smiling, even when socializing with a computer on your own.”

Surprisingly, participants didn't tend to smile during the period when they were trying to figure out the answers. However, they did smile right after the computer game informed them if their answer was correct or wrong. Participants smiled more often when they got the answer wrong. Dr. Witchel added: “During these computerized quizzes, smiling was greatly increased just after answering questions incorrectly. This behavior could be explained by self-ratings of engagement, rather than by ratings of happiness or frustration.”

【1】Why did Dr Witchel use difficult questions in the quiz game?

A.To make it hard for participants to answer them correctly.

B.To make the answer period last as long as possible.

C.To discover the most intelligent participants.

D.To create a stressful situation for participants deliberately.

【2】What can we infer from idea of Behavioral Ecology Theory?

A.Other researchers' opinion of a real smile is quite right.

B.Smiles aren't necessarily useful tools in social interactions.

C.It is not associated with subjective engagement.

D.Smiling is usually connected with social activities.

【3】What do we know about the text?

A.Participants were asked to interact with each other in the quiz.

B.Participants in the quiz smiled less often when they got the answer wrong.

C.In Dr Witchel's opinion, smiling is connected with subjective involvement.

D.Dr Witchel thinks that a real smile reflects the inner state of cheerfulness.

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A.What Contributes to Real Happiness? B.How to Identify Whether a Person Is Really Happy?

C.Smiling Doesn't Necessarily Mean Happiness D.People Generally Hold a Wrong View on Happiness

29、It can be a real struggle trying to learn a new language. I had always enjoyed learning languages in school, but only recently did I start learning German. I found that I could understand and learn individual words easiIy, but when it came to literature, I really struggled. That was when my tutor at university suggested reading some children's books printed in the target language.

At first, I felt a bit silly going on a hunt for a book designed for someone half my age, lout then I realised that everyone has to start somewhere. As children, we are given these basic texts to familiarise our brains with certain vocabulary and writing structures, and from there, we can learn and develop. I started with books which are taught to us as children in the UK.1 managed to find Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens and James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl.

The beauty of reading books that were introduced to you as a child is that you are already familiar with the plot. As a result, you can work out some of the definitions of words with your prior knowledge of the story. At first, I used to read with the book in one hand and a dictionary in the other, but this method did not work well for me. The method I would recommend is to read a chapter of your chosen children’s book and at the end of that chapter, highlight the words you do not know and then look up the definitions. If you can wait a bit before you use a dictionary, you may be surprised what you can get merely from the context of the sentence in the story. Additionally, a lot of children's books have pictures which may give you a clue as to what or to whom the passage is referring.

【1】Why was the author advised to read children’s books?

A．Because she was weak in reading great works.

B．Because she was slow to learn language.

C．Because she liked children's literature.

D．Because she couldn't remember any words.

【2】What can kids get from childrens' books according to the passage?

A．Vocabulary and listening skills.

B．Learning methods.

C．Words and structures.

D．Designing skills.

【3】What causes the author feel surprised while reading childrens’ books?

A．Grasping the context from the pictures.

B．Looking up the definations of words from a dictionary.

C．Getting familiar with the plots of the story.

D．Understanding the words simply from the context.

【4】What can be the best title of the passage?

A．Reading Children's Books

B．The Way of Learning Languages

C．The Method of Using Dictionary

D．My Good Reading Habits

The Safe (保险箱)

----- A Rich Man Finds the Best Way to be Truly Rich

Once upon a time, a rich man hired a great mathematician (数学家) to find him a way to make him more money. The rich man was so g【1】 that he even built a giant safe and his dream was to fill it with gold and jewels.

The mathematician worked on the problem for months. One night he said to the rich man “I’ve done it! My idea is perfect! You’ll be wealthy b【2】 your wildest dreams.” The rich man was d【3】 to hear this. Before he left on a long journey, he promised the mathematician double pay to run his business for him.

When the rich man returned, he found that all of his wealth was gone. Very angry, he asked the mathematician to explain. The mathematician told him he’d g【4】 everything away to people in the neighborhood.

The mathematician said “There is a limit to how much wealth one can get by himself. Then I realized that many people could help us a【5】 our goal. By helping o【6】, you could gain the most!”

Disappointed, the rich man went away. As he was walking, every neighbor he met was so thankful to him that they o【7】 him anything he needed.

Over the next few weeks, the man saw the mathematician’s idea really w【8】. He was received with great honor w【9】 he went. Everyone did all they could to help him.
