The film was made to encourage people to protect lemurs (狐猴).They are one of the world’s smallest primates(灵长类动物)，and are only found in Madagascar. Because of hunting and habitat loss, some researchers now say the lemurs of Madagascar are “the most threatened mammal group on the earth”. Here are some other threatened and endangered animals that have made headlines recently.‎ ‎ Polar bears are considered an endangered species because their ice habitat, which they use to reach their prey(猎物), is melting away. This forces polar bears to swim longer to find places to hunt their prey. Now you can see them without leaving your home, thanks to Google Street View.‎ ‎ Every April, birders flock (聚集) to the Central Wisconsin Prairie Chicken Festival to see the lesser prairie chicken’s mating dance. On March 27 this year, the Obama administration updated the feathered animal’s status to “threatened”—a step below “endangered”---after the species’ population hit the record low number last year.‎ ‎ Snow leopards living in the mountains of Central Asia have been recognized as an endangered species since 1972 because of hunting and the illegal trading of fur and body parts, which are used in traditional Asian medicine. Their white and gray fur helps them blend into their natural surroundings, and they have extra-large paws to prevent them from sinking into the snow, according to the Snow Leopard Trust. ‎ ‎ The humpback whales that flock to breeding grounds in Hawaii sing a 20-minute mating song that can be heard as far as 20 miles away. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is now considering removing the North Pacific population of the whales from the endangered species list.

Some achievements in protecting some threatened and endangered animals.‎ D. Some threatened and endangered animals that attracted great attention recently.‎ C ‎ If you hear the sound of a mobile phone beeping in a bag or pocket, you could think that someone has received a text message. Text messaging, or texting, is the art of sending a short, electronic message between two mobile phones,The users should pay a certain amount to send messages via SMS ---short message service. But in the last few years, with the development of smart phones, messaging in this way has been at a low ebb.‎ ‎ The rise of smart phones has seen an increase in the use of instant messaging apps. The apps offer a cheap alternative (替换)to traditional texts. Using wireless Internet connections, people can send a number of messages to their friends at a very low cost. Unlike traditional mobile texts, the users usually only have to pay to download the app once, after which each message they send is free.‎ ‎ Instant messaging apps have become popular all over the world. Hundreds of millions of people use the apps to chat with their friends. These apps allow people to send picture messages for free—something which previously was quite costly. Many of these apps also allow users to have access to a huge range of colorful emoticons (表情符), which can help people express their emotions.‎ ‎ The research company informa said that almost 19 billion messages were sent per day using chat apps last year, compared with 17.6 billion SMS texts. And it expects the chat app market to grow to 50 billion per day by 2015. So does this really mean the end of communicating by texting?‎ ‎ Pamela Clark-Dickson from Informa doesn’t think so. She says that there are a large number of people who use normal mobile phones, particularly in developing countries and prefer the SMS messaging tool. For the moment, these users still find that SMS is the best messaging experience for them.‎ ‎28. The underlined phrase “at a low ebb” can be replaced by ______.‎ A. on the increase B. on the decrease C. in the end D. at the moment ‎29. What can we learn about instant messaging apps ?‎ A. Normal mobile phones can be used to download the apps.‎ B. The apps enjoy high popularity in developing countries.‎ C. Only part of the messages sent by the apps are free of charge. ‎ D. It will cost the users some money for downloading the apps.‎ ‎30．Instant messaging apps won’t take the place of the SMS messaging tool soon in that _____. ‎ A. there are a large number of people who enjoy using normal mobile phones. ‎ B. many people in developing countries can’t afford to buy smart phones ‎ C. many people in developing countries don’t like instant massaging apps D. instant messaging apps are only known to people in developed countries.‎ ‎31. In which section of an English newspaper will this text probably be found?‎ A. Science &Technology. B. Culture. C. Entertainment D. Health & Care.‎ ‎ ‎ D ‎ You may have received CPR training some time ago, but could you remember the proper technique in an emergency? Do you know what to do in the event of an earthquake? A new study shows that people often do not remember things they have seen hundreds of times. ‎ In the study, 54 people were asked to write down the location of the fire extinguishers (灭火器)near their offices. While many have worked in their offices for years and have passed the bright red extinguishers several times a day, only 24% knew the answer. Many of them were surprised that they had never noticed them. ‎ ‎“If I ask you to draw the front of a dime（一角硬币） or the front of a dollar bill from memory, how well could you do that? asks Alan Castel, a professor from UCLA. “You’ve seen it so many times, but you probably haven’t paid much attention to it. Castel says not noticing things isn’t necessarily bad, particularly when those things are not important in your daily life. But with safety information, such as knowing where fire extinguishers are, being prepared can, of course, be very useful. ‎ A few months later, the office workers were asked to take the same test again. All of them performed well this time. “We don’t notice something if we’re attending to something else, says Castel. “Fire extinguishers are bright red and very conspicuous, but we’re almost blind to them until they become relevant（相关的） . ‎ Castel also stresses that making errors during training was useful. As with the fire extinguisher exercise, errors can teach us that we don’t know something well and need to pay more attention in order to memorize them. It’s good if errors happen during a training and not during an event where you need the information. That’s part of the learning process. ‎ ‎32. What does the writer want to prove by giving the example of a dime? ‎ A. It is a coin of the least value in the US. ‎ B. The front design is different from the back one. ‎ C. Most of us can draw something quite well from memory. ‎ D. We may ignore something that we have seen many times. ‎ ‎33. According to the text, we will pay attention to things______. ‎ A. that are related to us B. that we often walk by ‎ C. that are in front of us D. that we have seen for long ‎ ‎34. The underlined word “conspicuous in Paragraph 4 probably means “_____”.‎ A. dangerous B. expensive C. obvious D. heavy ‎ ‎35. From the last paragraph, we can infer that_____. ‎ A. training is a process to make errors ‎ B. wrong information in training is harmful ‎ C. it is natural to make errors in training ‎ D. errors in training are a chance to learn ‎ 第二节：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。选项中有两项是多余选项。‎ Many people want to be thinner, but for some thin kids, they want to gain weight. Being laughed at is one reason they want to add pounds .36 You might also practice what you will say back to someone who teases you. Don’t insult anyone. You maybe say, “That’s just the way I am. Everybody is different.” Having friends who back you up can help you braver and less alone.‎ ‎ 37 The best advice is the same as that for all kids: Eat a healthy balance of foods. Get plenty of activity. Have enough sleep.‎ ‎38 It can make you feel sick and unhealthy. Just listen to your appetite and eat just as much as your body tells you to. If your size concerns you, talk with your parents. They can help figure out whether you should see a doctor. ‎ ‎ Once in a while, a health problem can keep a kid from gaining weight. The kid usually goes to a doctor who can check things out or to a registered dietitian who has lots of tips on how to eat well.39‎ ‎ Here’s another surprise. 40 A lot of people use exercise to keep their weight under control or to lose weight, but exercise serves many other purposes. Moving around helps you develop important skills. And it helps your body get stronger. Unless a kid has gone through puberty (发育期), weightlifting won’t build bigger muscles. It also could hurt bones and joints if it’s not done correctly.‎ A. Kids who are thin need to take more exercise. ‎ B. Trying to gain weight by taking in extra calories is a bad idea.‎ C. If this happens to you, you can tell a grown-up who can help.‎ D. Kids who are thin sometimes feel like they aren’t the right size.‎ E. Small kids especially want to know how to help their bodies grow and develop.‎ F. But most of the time, thin kids don’t need to see a doctor or go on a special diet.‎ G. You might have friends the same age who weigh a lot more than you do.‎ 三、 英语知识运用（共两节，满分55分）‎ 第一节 完型填空（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A，B，C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ ‎ My son Advait is 4 years old.
