26、A months-long rescue operation to save giraffes from Longicharo Island’s rising water in Kenya recently concluded after delivering the last two stranded giraffes to safety at the Ruko Community Wildlife Conservancy. Save Giraffes now partnered with Northern Rangelands Trust and local conservation agencies to transfer the Rothschild’s giraffes, one of the most endangered populations of giraffe.

To get the giraffes from the sinking island to the mainland nearly one mile away, community members built a “giraft”, a custom-made ship with tall sides, supported by 60 empty drums. The giraffes were transferred one at a time. “Water levels in Lake Baringo have been rising for some time, but in 2020 the rate of rise increased — flooding lakeshore homes, businesses, and threatening the lives of a small group of Rothschild’s giraffes on Longicharo Island, in Ruko Conservancy,” Northern Rangelands Trust said in a statement.

“At last, they can safely breed (繁殖) and bring back the population of the free-ranging Rothschild’s giraffes to their former home ranges in Baringo. It’s such a relief for all involved to have gotten them safely across to the mainland and we are sure they’re enjoying the space in their new home,” he said.

Rothschild’s giraffes were once widespread across Kenya, Uganda and southern Sudan, but numbers have decreased by 80%, leaving only 3,000 in the wild today. But there is hope, given by innovative (创新的) conservation teamwork such as this.

“Working with the communities in the area over the next several years, we will keep this combined group of giraffes safe, and as they breed, their numbers will grow over time, eventually rejoining their cousins in Uganda,” Save Giraffes Now said in a statement.

27、Are you worried about moving up to Senior High school? It can be a new experience, but you shouldn’t worry. We’ve put together a guide on how to survive the first week.

You’re not alone!

Remember everybody else in your year is on the same boat. They may not realize it, but they’re just as nervous as you are. Moving to Senior High school is an opportunity, not a problem. Things are different and all you need to do is be polite and learn the new rules.

Teachers are ready to help!

If you’re unsure what to do or are worried about anything then you had better ask for help. Teachers are probably the best people to turn to as they’re experienced in helping new students. Some Senior High schools also have a “friends system”. If your school has this, then you will be paired with an older student. They will look out for you and help you if you have any problems or questions.

All change

There are lots of differences between Junior High school and Senior High school. You’ll have a homework diary or a student planner. You will have your lessons with different teachers in different rooms. You will have homework for different subjects on different days, so make sure you get organized. Make sure you have a copy of your school timetable written down so you know which rooms your classes are in and on which days you will have your different subjects.

Other points

If you’ve got an elder brother or sister at the school then ask them for advice.

Be yourself! It sounds simple, but people will know you much better if you just act naturally.

Having early nights makes a difference and you’ll find it easier to get up in the morning!

28、   My true life started when I carefully pinned Qinghua University’s school motto (座右铭) “self-discipline and social commitment” above my bed, adopting it as my personal motto. I am a countrymen, I am a worker, I am a vagrant (无业游民), I am a teacher, I am a unique form of Qinghua student. But focusing on the man that I am is not as important as seizing my destiny and becoming the man I will be. However, with my life as it is, this isn’t easy, so I must struggle. — Zhang Liyong

Once published, Zhang Liyong’s book “The Cook with Fluent English” immediately caught the public’s eye. Telling the true experiences of a common man, this book has encouraged and stimulated many English-learners.

Born the eldest son of a poor family in Jiangxi Province, Zhang quit school early in order to help out his family. His first job was a worker in a toy factory in Guangzhou, where his experiences made him see the English language in a new light. He found out how important English was in communication with foreigners. Always under an intense workload, and with poor housing conditions, he felt no sense of belonging during those days in Guangzhou. So, with the realization that learning English was the only way to better his lot in life, and a ticket to step onto the campus of Qinghua University as well, he began to pursue the life he wanted. It was this move to become a student again that surrounded Zhang with the environment necessary for his success in English.

After reading “The Cook with Fluent English”, Daisy Dai, whose major is English language and literature, comments, “First of all, I think his university was quite helpful for him to study English, because there are a lot of resources available on campus. Also, I believe that his passion for studying English should be encouraged. Because he was working full-time as a cook, he must have studied English in his spare time. Now that time for intensive study, like in schools or in universities is quite limited, we all have to form the habit of teaching ourselves. I think we should learn by his examples.”

【1】In his book Zhang Liyong stated that ________.

A.Qinghua University is the best place for English studies

B.seizing his future is more important

C.the motto helped him to start his university life

D.he must struggle to study English well

【2】During the days in Guangzhou, Zhang ________.

A.quit school to help out his family

B.started to learn English by himself

C.began to realize the importance of English

D.showed great interest in communicating with foreigners

【3】Which of the following is NOT mentioned by Daisy Dai as the reasons why Zhang succeeds in studying English?

A.He has developed the habit of self-study.

B.He is passionate for studying English.

C.He is talented in studying English.

D.He made good use of campus resources.

【4】The underlined word “intense” refers to ________.

29、Living in two different cultures has its benefits and challenges. Although I was born in America, my parents emigrated (移民) to the US from Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka is an island off the coast of India. The customs, traditions, and culture are the same in India as it is in Sri Lanka. When my parents came to the US, they continued to perform their customs and hold onto their beliefs and traditions. This has influenced me in several ways.

I have learned to speak three languages, including English. I eat a variety of foods and celebrate different holidays that have to do with my religion and culture. It is very fun when I get to interact with people of my nationality and speak to them in a different language. It is also a benefit because I get to celebrate with all my family and have different foods and learn new things about my culture. Sharing my culture and information about my nationality to others is very important to me. I feel that people should have a good understanding of who I am and what my life is like. I always try to incorporate (吸收) both American and Indian traditions, customs and foods.

Even though this can be a major advantage, there are many setbacks to be part of two cultures. All of my family was born in Sri Lanka, so I’m not a person of several different nationalities, such as Greek, Italian, German, and others. My cousins, my siblings and I are the only ones born out of Sri Lanka. Speaking a language at home and speaking another language at school can make me get confused. This is because sometimes I have trouble expressing my thoughts in English.

I have felt stuck between the two cultures at times, but I try not to think of two cultures as a setback, but as an advantage of being able to participate in different celebrations and get on with my American and Indian friends.

【1】What does the author find important?

A．To learn American customs.

B．To speak three different languages.

C．To follow his own customs.

D．To share his own culture.

【2】What does the underlined word “setbacks” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean?

A．Achievements.

B．Problems.

C．Benefits.

D．Performances.

【3】What does the text mainly talk about?

A．Living between two cultures.

B．Ways to live in a foreign country.

C．The ability to learn foreign languages.

D．Efforts to hold on to original traditions.

31、根据下面短文内容，在短文的空格处填上一个恰当的词，使短文完整、通顺。

A good joke can be hardest thing to understand when studying a foreign language. As a recent report in The Guardian newspaper (卫报) noted, “There’s more to understanding a joke in a foreign language than 【1】 vocabulary and grammar.”

Being able to understand jokes is hard for a language learner to 【2】 friends with native (说母语的) speakers. “I always felt that humor was a ceiling (天花板) that I could never break through.” Lina Brown, a public relations manager in London, told The Guardian, “I used to study in Japan. I could never speak to Japanese people on the same level as I would speak to a native English speaker. I was almost a boring person 【3】 all I could talk about was facts.”

In fact, most of the time, jokes are only funny for people who share a cultural background (文化背景) or understand humor in the 【4】 way. Chinese-American actor Joe Wong found this out firsthand. He had achieved huge success in the US, but when he returned to China for his first live show in Beijing, he discovered that people 【5】 think his Chinese jokes were as funny as his English ones.

In Australia, many foreigners find understanding jokes about 【6】 to be the biggest headache. Let’s take rugby (橄榄球) as an example. “The hardest jokes are related to rugby because I know nothing about rugby and few people play it in China” said Zhang Xiao, a doctor in a hospital in Beijing. He was 【7】 a student in Australia. He added, “When I heard jokes I didn’t get, I just laughed along.”

In the other two major English-speaking countries, the sense of humor is also different. British jokes seem to be more subtle (微妙的) and dark, while American jokes are more obvious (明显的) with their meanings, a bit like Americans 【8】.
