26、Endangered species

An endangered species is a group of animals that could soon become extinct. 【1】 Many species are nearly extinct and could disappear off the face of the earth very soon if we don’t do anything to save them. There are many reasons why species become endangered.

Habitat destruction is the main reason why animals become endangered and this happens in two ways. When humans move into a new area, the animals’ habitat is destroyed and there is nowhere for them to live and nothing to eat because humans chop down trees and build houses and farms. 【2】 Chemicals in rivers and poisons on farms cause the destruction of animals’ homes and food supplies.

Endangered species are also the result of hunting and fishing. Animals have been brought to the edge of extinction because they are killed for their highly-valued meat, fur, bones or skin, or just for sport. 【3】

【4】 We should take care not to pollute natural areas, and farmers or companies who destroy animal habitats should face severe financial penalties. The public can help out by refusing to buy any products made from these animals’ body parts. Governments can help, too, by making it against the law to hunt, fish or trade in endangered species. They can also provide funding for animal sanctuaries (禁猎区), to protect animals from extinction by breeding more endangered animals, which they later release into the wild. 【5】

A．Animal habitats are also destroyed because of pollution.

B．Eventually, all the creatures on Earth will enjoy being together.

C．Recent changes, however, have helped to improve the situation.

D．So what can individuals and governments do to protect endangered species?

E．Extinction happens when the last of the species has died out and there will be no more.

F．If we all cooperate and take these steps, we will protect these animals for future generations.

G．Overfishing has resulted in many large sea creatures becoming endangered species, like sharks.

27、I do not agree with the statement that advertising is not good for us as consumers. 【1】 Of course, this is only true if advertisers don’t give false information in their advertisements or include their advertising costs in the prices of their products.

Through advertisements, consumers can know about new products in the market. They can be food, or even more expensive items like cars and houses. This gives consumers more choices. From a variety of brands, they choose the brand that suits them or the one that they like. 【2】

【3】 This is good, for it maintains or even improves the quality of the products. If there is no competition, the quality of the products may drop. Through advertisements, consumers also come to know about the offers, special discounts, or free gifts given during sales.

Advertising does have a positive role to play in modern society, helping us choose between competing goods. 【4】 For example, telephones are used as cameras and music players. Others try to compete on price, helping us seek out the cheapest or best value products.

Over the years, advertising has developed into a major industry. 【5】 One cannot walk down the street, ride on a bus, watch television or read emails without seeing advertisements.

The fact is that the presence of some unethical advertisers does not mean that the whole basket is bad. Generally, advertisements do more good than harm.

A．It has also become a type of culture.

B．It makes us plan to buy food, clothes and gifts in a healthy way.

C．In most cases, advertising does not just make us go shopping.

D．If not for advertisements, they will not know about the different brands.

E．Many advertisements are drawing our attention to products with new features (特征).

F．Moreover, due to advertisements, competition exists when companies advertise.

G．In fact, I think that advertisements are necessary and can be good for consumers.

28、   Trips to museums are part of many children's education. Every year, museums receive a large number of school students.

Typically, schools are concerned about students performing well on required math and science tests. 【1】 This is where Jay Greene comes in, His research team are studying how attending cultural events can help with a student's education.

In order to learn how a trip to an art museum affects students, the team looked at 11,000 students and found that students who visited an art museum were more tolerant (容忍的) 【2】 .Greene's team also examined how going to a live theater performance can affect students.

This study involved two groups. The first group who saw a live performance experienced improvement in tolerance. 【3】 .The result showed that the students who saw the live performance learned the story and related vocabulary better than those who watched the movie version. Hence, there are differences between in - person experiences and digital ones. Obviously, in-person cultural experiences have much to do with their study motivation. 【4】 .

Some museums are looking for ways to provide new programs for schools. Apart from their usual field trips, the museums also offer STEM-based tours for science, technology, engineering and math. 【5】 This helps to promote students' well - round development.

A．People gradually recognize the importance of field trips

B．The other one watched a movie version of the same play

C．This motivation is very important to the success at school

D．Therefore, teachers may not see the value of art museum trips

E．Students analyzed data carefully after they visited art museums

F．These tours look at connections between art, science, math and architecture

G．Plus, they learned more about the art and developed stronger critical thinking skills

29、Popularization has in some cases changed the original meaning of emotional intelligence. Many people now misunderstand emotional intelligence as almost everything desirable in a person’s makeup that cannot be measured by an IQ test, such as character, motivation, confidence, mental stability, optimism and “people skills.” Research has shown that emotional skills may contribute to some of these qualities, but most of them move far beyond skill-based emotional intelligence.

We prefer to describe emotional intelligence as a specific set of skills that can be used for either good or bad purposes. The ability to accurately understand how others are feeling may be used by a doctor to find how best to help her patients, while a cheater might use it to control potential victims. Being emotionally intelligent does not necessarily make one a moral person.

Although popular beliefs regarding emotional intelligence run far ahead of what research can reasonably support, the overall effects of the publicity have been more beneficial than harmful. The most positive aspect of this popularization is a new and much needed emphasis (重视) on emotion by employers, educators and others interested in promoting social well-being. The popularization of emotional intelligence has helped both the public and researchers re-evaluate the functionality of emotions and how they serve people adaptively in everyday life.

Although the continuing popular appeal of emotional intelligence is desirable, we hope that such attention will excite a greater interest in the scientific and scholarly study of emotion. It is our hope that in coming decades, advances in science will offer new perspectives (视角) from which to study how people manage their lives. Emotional intelligence, with its focus on both head and heart, may serve to point us in the right direction.

【1】What is a common misunderstanding of emotional intelligence?

A．It can be measured by an IQ test.

B．It helps to exercise a person’s mind.

C．It includes a set of emotional skills.

D．It refers to a person’s positive qualities.

【2】Why does the author mention “doctor” and “cheater” in paragraph 2?

A．To explain a rule.

B．To clarify a concept.

C．To present a fact.

D．To make a prediction.

【3】What is the author’s attitude to the popularization of emotional intelligence?

A．Favorable.

B．Intolerant.

C．Doubtful.

D．Unclear.

【4】Which statement do you think the author would probably agree with?

A．Emotional intelligence is emphasized by all the people.

B．People who are highly emotionally intelligent are honourable persons.

C．The research we do at present cannot reasonably support popular beliefs of emotional intelligence.

D．Emotional intelligence contribute a lot to the qualities like character, motivation, confidence and so on.

【5】What does the last paragraph mainly talk about concerning emotional intelligence?

A．Its appeal to the public.

B．Expectations for future studies.

C．Its practical application.

D．Scientists with new perspectives.

32、读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

This incident happened over twenty years ago when I was in high school. There was a debate competition in my neighbouring school. My friend and I volunteered to participate in the debate. There were many topics to choose from and I choose to speak on AIDS.

Even though I had no idea what the competition would be like, I decided to go ahead and prepare for it and I used an article from a magazine as reference.

On the day of the event, I practiced my lines but was feeling nervous as there would be many listeners and the stage fear was chasing me already and truly it caught up with me. I reached the auditorium (礼堂), and it was large. The competition began, and I was getting sweaty palms. I was at a loss when the speaker before my turn unexpectedly had chosen the same topic as me and also referred to the same magazine and reproduced it line by line, leaving me in a daze (恍惚) on what to do next as I just had a couple of minutes with me.

Soon enough I was on the stage and I could gather courage and speak for only two minutes. I felt so bad. I had not only let my school down but also myself. I then decided to put in my best efforts and overcome my stage fear and prepare well for the next debate. Luckily I did not have to wait long as the next competition was organized by my school.

This time my topic was against castes (印度的种姓；等级制度) in indian society. I wrote the script with my own efforts and practiced for hours in front of the mirror even though I had learned the script by heart.

The day came and this time I was confident about myself, I just went about doing my job and lasted for five minutes. I had a very satisfied feeling coming from within. When the results were announced, I had come second in the event, I was so happy and all my efforts paid off.
