Kifaru, directed by David Hambridge, was recently shown at the Hot Docs 2019 Festival in Toronto, Canada. People are drawn into the world of the three caretakers and their love for Sudan.‎ ‎“I saw the caretakers, the bond (纽带) they had, and how strong it was,”Hambridge said.“I saw how much they loved giving Sudan baths, feeding him, sitting next to him, and talking to him.”‎ After showing the bond between Sudan and his caretakers, Hambridge decided to tell the story “in a way that was very human,” he explained. “I wanted people to be able to experience the joys and pitfalls of animal protection on the ground.”‎ Taking care of a rhino, especially the last male northern white rhino, is no easy job. In Kenya, the role of a rhino caretaker does not make much money. Moreover, the caretakers had to spend 10 months out of the year away from their families. As James, one of Sudan's caretakers, said in Kifaru, the job was“taking care of an animal that can never look you in the eyes and say,‘Thank you.'”‎ The film comes along with lots of sad news about animal extinction. Except for rhinos, many of whom were killed for their horns (角), lots of other animals are disappearing as well. According to a new report from the United Nations, as many as one million kinds of animals are at risk of extinction because of human activity.‎ As caretaker James said about the rhino problem, extinction is the result of humans’ endless greed (贪欲). Unless we act now, life on Earth could change quickly.‎ ‎24.What is special about Sudan?‎ A.He had many children.‎ B.He was the last of his kind.‎ C. He had more than one caretaker.‎ D.He was the world's oldest rhino.‎ ‎25.What can we learn about Kifaru?‎ A. It was directed by Sudan's caretakers.‎ B.It shows how people train animals.‎ C.It tells a true story about a rhino.‎ D.It was finished in March 2018.‎ ‎26.What does the underlined word “pitfalls” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?‎ A.Hopes.‎ B.Losses.‎ C.Surprises.‎ D.Difficulties.‎ ‎27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?‎ A. Kifaru, a Record of Wild Animals B.Life Is Changing on Earth C. Protecting the Rhino D.Rhino Caretakers C In 1775, relations were poor between the American Colonies (殖民地) and Great Britain. People from the 13 Colonies met in Philadelphia to form the Continental - Congress. During that meeting, the group chose Benjamin Franklin as Postmaster General. He founded the Franklin Post Office in Philadelphia Pennsylvania. Today, more than two centuries later, that post office remains.‎ ‎“The Colonies needed a way to get mail from one place to another. As the Colonies grew, they needed to have a way to communicate,” said Cindy Heyward, the present postmaster.‎ Before Franklin opened the post office, the Colonies depended upon traders to get their mail from one place to another. It was a hard task. By starting a post office, Franklin helped people“get mail to their neighbors, their families, and people living in other areas,” Heyward said.‎ At the time when the post office was set up, the colonists did not buy stamps. Franklin would sign letters to “approve (批准)”the mail.‎ ‎“When people come in here now, we use what's called a postmark,”Heyward said. A postmark is an official stamp.The postmark that the Franklin Post Office uses includes a copy of the Founder' s signature (签名).‎ Heyward said that modern technology has affected many post offices around the country. While the volume (数量) of mail has fallen, Heyward said that the enjoyment of receiving and reading a letter has not.“People love getting letters,” she said.“Even though we have email and all these other ways of communicating, people still want them.”‎ Although there have been ups and downs, the post office that Franklin started is still a place of historical value. “Of the 38,000 post offices in the U.S., this is the first one,” Heyward said.“We are older than this nation. We are the only post office that doesn't fly an American flag outside. It all began here.”‎ ‎28.What is a reason why Franklin founded the post office?‎ A. To help with the development of trade.‎ B.To raise money for the Continental Congress.‎ C.To meet people's growing needs to stay in touch.‎ D.To help the Colonies communicate with Great Britain.‎ ‎29. How was mail delivery before 1775?‎ A.Not fast.‎ B.Not easy.‎ C.Dangerous.‎ D.Expensive.‎ ‎30. What did people do to get their mail delivered when the Franklin Post Office was founded?‎ A. They stuck a stamp on their mail.‎ B. They handed their mail to Heyward.‎ C. They bought a copy of Franklin’s postmark.‎ D. They got their mail signed by the postmaster.‎ ‎31.What does the underlined word“them”in Paragraph 6 refer to?‎ A.Letters.‎ B.Emails.‎ C. Post offices.‎ D. Ways of communicating.‎ D Years ago, I lived in a building in a big city. The building next door was only a few feet away from mine.There was a woman who lived there and whom I had never met, yet I could see her seated by her window each afternoon, sewing and reading.‎ After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself, “Why doesn’t that woman clean her window? It really looks terrible.”‎ One bright morning I decided to clean my apartment, including the window. Late in the afternoon after I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee. What a surprise! Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was clearly seen. Her window was clean!‎ Then it dawned on me. I had been criticizing her dirty window, but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window.‎ That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart, through my own shortcomings (缺点)?‎ From then on, whenever I want to judge someone, I ask myself first,“Am I looking at him through my own dirty window?” Then I try to clean the window of my own world so that I can see others’ world more clearly.‎ ‎32. What do we know about the author?‎ A. He worked as a cleaner.‎ B.He lived in a small town.‎ C.He never met the woman.‎ D.He often cleaned his window.‎ ‎33.The author couldn't see things about the woman clearly through the window because .‎ A.the woman’s window was dirty B.his window was dirty C. he had poor eyesight D. the woman lived far away ‎34.What does the underlined part “it dawned on me”probably mean?‎ A. It cheered me up.‎ B. It began to get light.‎ C.I began to understand it.‎ D.I could see myself through the window.‎ ‎35.We can learn from the text that one should .‎ A. always keep his windows clean B.not care what others think of you C.not look at others through windows D. judge himself before he judges others 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入 空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Training for a marathon requires careful preparation and steady, gradual increases in the length of the runs. 36 ,buy the best-fitting, best-built running shoes you can find.
