26、With circus animals increasingly becoming a thing of the past, what happens to all those newly-freed animals that spent their lives in zoos and circuses? Can any animal, after years in captivity (圈养), ever be freed?

Even a lifetime in the best zoo will have left animals too affected by years of sheltered existence. No case makes this more heartbreakingly obvious than the story of Keiko, the whale star of Free Willy (1993). A massive letter-writing campaign demanding his freedom led to Keiko being flown to Iceland in 1999 for release. Unfortunately, captured at a very young age and too used to human contact, Keiko never managed to fit into a wild population, struggled to hunt, and eventually died of disease in 2003.

“For the longest time, the idea of returning animals to the wild was just off the table, but now we’re seeing people in the field questioning the long-held belief that it’s impossible to return captive animals to their natural habitat,” says Katie Moore of the International Fund for Animal Welfare. “Yes, in a lot of cases it is still impossible, especially if the animals were very young when captured. But for some animals, if we proceed scientifically and thoughtfully, it can be done.”

Consider the African Lion and Environmental Research Trust (ALERT) in Zimbabwe, which for 15 years has worked to introduce lions to the wild. Their method of release involves multiple stages, which eventually sees the release of wild offspring (后代) from previously captive adults. First, lions that have been raised by humans are released into a large fenced area with small animals to hunt. Next, those animals eventually form a wild group and produce new baby lions. Then, those baby lions, who have grown together and formed social bonds, are eventually released as a group.

“For some animals, reintroduction will always be difficult, such as baby elephants, which get used to human care very quickly,” says Moore. “But if we don’t push boundaries we will never know what is possible.”

【1】What caused Keiko’s sad story?

A．He fell sick during film-making.

B．He was brought in from the wild at an old age.

C．He failed to seek human company.

D．He was ill-equipped for life in the wild.

【2】What does Moore think of returning captive animals to their natural habitat?

A．It is possible for some animals.

B．It is in their best interests.

C．It can cause them harm.

D．It is a completely unrealistic idea.

【3】Which of the following words can describe ALERT’s lion release work?

A．Dangerous.

B．Eventful.

C．Gradual.

D．Cruel.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．What are the challenges facing animal reintroduction projects?

B．Why do some released animals fail to live independently?

C．Can captive animals ever truly return to the wild?

D．Are captured animals willing to go back to the natural world?

28、Do you want to go to take a vacation in Northern Ireland? If you do, here are some places where you can go.

The Sperrins, County Derry and Tyrone

The Sperrins are Northern Ireland’s largest mountains and also its least explored. Starting from Strabane in County Tyrone to the shores of Lough Neagh in the east, Northern Ireland’s largest upland area is a designated (指定的) area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The Mournes, County Down

The wild scenery of the Mourne Mountains sweeps down to the sea. It is the place where C. S. Lewis found his fantastic winter-land of Narnia come to shape in his mind, which inspired him to write The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. The Mourne Mountains in County Down are famous for a lot of things such as challenging peaks and clear lakes.

Dunluce Castle, County Antrim

The ruin of Dunluce Castle sees a long and amazing history. The castle was first built on the amazing coastal cliffs of north County Antrim by the MacQuillan family around 1500. The earliest written record of the castle was in 1513. The amazing history of Dunluce is matched by tales of how the castle kitchens fell into the sea one stormy night in 1639.

Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge, County Antrim

Connected to the cliffs by a rope bridge across the Atlantic Ocean, Carrick-a-Rede Island (home to a single building—a fisherman’s small house) is the final destination. Suspended (悬空的) almost 100 ft(30m) above sea level, the rope bridge was first made by a fisherman 350 years ago. In 2016, Carrick-a-Rede welcomed the highest number of visitors ever to this exciting rope bridge experience.

29、A small device no bigger than a toaster has generated oxygen on the surface of Mars, bringing the chances of surviving on the red planet a step closer.

The Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment, better known as Moxie, has been generating oxygen from the atmosphere on Mars, as part of NASA’s Perseverance rover (漫游者)mission.

Moxie produced breathable oxygen in seven hour-long tests conducted in various weather and atmosphere conditions since landing. During each test, the device produced six grams of oxygen, about the same as a small tree and enough to sustain an astronaut for 15 minutes. It’s also found that even in extreme temperatures and after a Martian dust storm, Moxie continued to produce high-purity oxygen.

“This is the first demonstration of actually using resources on the surface of another planet and transforming them chemically into something that would be useful for a human mission,”said Jeff Hoffinan, a retired astronaut and professor at MIT.

NASA and the MIT team are planning to build a bigger version of Moxie, as they hope advanced models will produce enough oxygen to support a crewed mission to Mars. “We have to bring a lot of stuff from Earth to support a human mission, but oxygen is a big problem. If you can make it there, go for it and you’re way ahead of the game,” Hoffinan said.

The device uses pumps that absorb in carbon dioxide which is heated to 800 ℃ and processed to separate the carbon and oxygen. Carbon monoxide(一氧化碳)is emitted as waste while the pure oxygen is left behind.

Expanding the device to support a human mission to Mars presents challenges. It is needed to run continuously for 400 days, a leap from the one-hour tests and its inner temperature should be controlled stably. Moxie has proved to endure the extreme conditions on Mars, however, and the team plans to assess the machine’s limits in the coming months when atmosphere is thick and carbon dioxide levels are high. They say they just want to set everything as high as they dare and make as much oxygen as they can.

【1】What can we learn about Moxie?

A．It works well in a series of tests.

B．It aims to purify breathable oxygen.

C．It is stopped by extreme conditions.

D．It produces oxygen enough for a team.

【2】By quoting Hoffinan’s words in Paragraph 5, the author intends to_____.

A．present a plan to further explore Mars

B．demonstrate Nasa’s ambition to win the game

C．show the plentiful and useful resources on Mars

D．highlight the significance of making oxygen on Mars

【3】Which of the following best describes the team according to the last paragraph?

A．Cautious and ambitious.

B．Confident and intelligent.

C．Practical and independent.

D．Courageous and imaginative.

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

A．A Nasa Mars rover landed successfully.

B．Challenges for a human mission to Mars.

C．Human survives with oxygen made on Mars.

D．A little oxygen on Mars, a great leap forward.

32、阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。

I was on a tour of Italy with my friends. Our car pulled to a stop at the beach. I got out, carrying my guitar and saw the blue Adriatic Sea. Waves smashed(撞击) against large rocks that formed a jetty(防波堤). People said this beach was known for its fierce undertow(回流). I trembled. Nothing frightened me as much as water.

I’d always loved water and been a good swimmer until last summer, when I’d decided to climb up to the highest diving board at a city pool. I’d jumped into the water. The next thing I knew was my brother was pulling me out of the pool. From then on, I stayed away from the water.

“Kevin, are you coming? ” My friend Brad called.

“Yeah, ” I said. “Just enjoying the view. ” From dry land, I added silently.

Just then I heard shouting. People were running into the sea.

I saw something moving up and down amid the waves. There was a little boy out there! The rescuers were fighting against the tide(潮水). They’d never get to him in time. They might not get to him at all with the undertow.

I looked back at the boy. His head popped up, then a wave crashed over him and he disappeared for a moment. I had to do something.

The jetty! The boy was close to it. From there maybe I could help. I raced down the beach, out onto the jetty, and it hit me: Water! My hands got sweaty and I felt sick to my stomach. I stopped short.

The people in the water weren’t making any headway against the waves. I was the only one who saw that going out onto the jetty was the fastest way to reach the drowning boy. Though I was as terrified as he, I tried to remember the life guard training I’d had as a teenager.

Sucking in(吸气) a deep breath, I threw myself into the water. As soon as I went under it, I felt like I was back in that city pool, breathless, struggling. Focus, I shouted in my head. Where is he?

注意: 续写词数应为150左右。

Then I saw it—a thin arm waving weakly a few yards away.
