But that doesn’t mean they’re doing alright in the wild. Tigers All six tiger species are endangered, with Sumatran tigers and South China tigers at a seriously endangered status. The main reasons for their population decline are illegal hunting and destroyed habitats(栖息地), as humans clear forests to gather timber(木材)and build roadways. Only about 3890 tigers presently live in the wild. Ground squirrels That’s right, even squirrels are endangered, specifically the San Joaquin ground squirrel. Native to California, USA, these guys have been disappearing since 1979 on account of the construction and human development going through their habitat. Their total population is unknown, but it could be anywhere between 124000 and 413000. Giraffes The International Union for the Conservation of Nature recently put giraffes at a vulnerable(脆弱的) status, the level just before endangered. The giraffe population has declined 40 percent in the last 30 years, primarily due to loss of habitat and illegal hunting. Some giraffes are killed just for their tails, which are considered status symbols in Africa. Asian elephants The main threat to Asian elephants, one of the most intelligent animals, is their shrinking habitat. As the human population grows, people invade their land to build roads and railway tracks. Elephants in Myanmar are at an especially high risk for being captured and traded or used illegally in the tourist industry. Fewer than 50000 are left on the entire continent. 21. What is the total population of tigers living in the wild? A. Around 3890. B. 50000. C. 124000. D. 413000. 22.Which of the following is considered one of the most intelligent animals? A. Tigers. B. Giraffes. C. Ground squirrels. D. Asian elephants. 23.What is the common threat to the four wild animals? A. Illegal hunting. B. Disturbed habitat. C. Developing tourism. D. Unnecessary construction. B One evening last summer, when I asked my 14-year-old son, Ray, for help with dinner, his response shocked me. “What’s a colander (漏勺)?” he asked. I could only blame myself. In the family, nobody else helped me in the kitchen. But that night, as I explained with a touch of panic that a colander is the thing with holes in it, I wondered what else I hadn’t prepared Ray for. As parents, while we focus on our sons’ confidence and character, we perhaps don’t always consider that we are also raising someone’s future roommates, boyfriends, husbands, or fathers. I wanted to know that I’d raised a boy who would never ask the woman in his life, “What’s for dinner?” So I came up with a plan: I would offer Ray a private home course. I was delighted to find that he didn’t say no. For two hours, three days a week, Ray was all mine. I knew that he would rather have been playing in the driveway than learning to mend socks with his mother----he tried to beg not to have sewing lessons, even though I insisted that one day, someone would find the sight of him fixing his own shirt very attractive, but it couldn’t be denied that he was learning, and more than just housekeeping. “I appreciate what you do as a mom,” he told me one day. Ray now understands the finer points of cooking, and more importantly, he realizes there’s nothing good about being helpless. Now, not only can he make his own dinner, but also he can make a big meal for his family. That’s what I call a man. I’m glad that I prepared so great a present for my future daughter-in-law. 24. Why was the author shocked at her son’s response? A. Because he was not well behaved. B. Because he refused to help with dinner. C. Because he was very curious about kitchen tools. D. Because he didn’t know the common kitchen tools. 25. In the author’s opinion, some parents pay little attention to_______ . A. making children live a hard life. B. preparing children for their future life C. telling kids what is right and wrong D. building up children’s confidence 26. After learning to do housework, Ray______ . A. fell in love with sewing. B. did other work in the house. C. acknowledged his mother’s efforts. D. began to be more hard-working. 27. What would be the best title for the text? A. Useful education for boys. B. Boys should be involved in housework. C. The importance of housework. D. Cooking and sewing make boys manly. C The world’s first “Sky Pool” has been uncoated, and it’ll give anyone a touch of dizziness, unless he or she is not bothered by heights. Situated in the capital’s new riverside district beside Battersea Power Station, the glass pool, hanging 10 storeys, or 110 feet up as a bridge between two apartment buildings, is 25m long, 5m wide and 3m deep with a water depth of 1. 2m. Swimmers will be able to look down 35 metres to the street below as they take a dip, with only 20cm of glass between them and the outside world. It’s even got a bar, folding chairs and an orange garden. The pool will be part of Embassy Gardens at Nine Elms, a huge billion building project beside the new American Embassy in south-west London. The project is creating thousands of apartments, the smallest of which are expected to cost nearly $ 1 million, and the pool will only be open to the apartments’ owners. Embassy Gardens takes design inspiration from the Meatpacking District of New York with floor to ceiling windows and brick frontages. The designer, Sean Mulryan, desired to push the boundaries in the capability of construction and engineering and do something that had never been done before. The Sky Pool’s transparent(透明的)structure is the result of significant advancements in technologies over the last decade. The experience of the pool will be truly unique and it will feel like floating through the air in Central London. Those people lucky enough to swim there will have a great view of the Palace of Westminster and the London Eye. It will be a selling point for developers when the second stage of the development is released to market. 28. Who can swim in the Sky Pool? A. Visitors to London. B. Anyone at Nine Elms. C. Those who are not terrified of heights. D. People living in Embassy Gardens. 29. What can the swimmers enjoy according to the paragraph 2? A. Having fun surfing online. B. Appreciating the views below. C. Drinking orange juice for free. D. Experiencing diving and surfing. 30. What do we know about the pool from the text? A. It lies in the centre of London. B. It is helpful for selling apartments in Embassy Gardens. C. It is 25 metres above the ground. D. It was similar to New York’s modern constructions. 31. We can infer from the text that . A. building the pool is not a complex job. B. the new American Embassy has been moved away. C. Nine Elms is a street in Embassy Gardens. D. the apartments of Embassy Garden are fairly expensive. D Something I enjoy doing most in my leisure time is going to the cinema to watch a great film. It’s two hours of relaxation and escapism from real life. But when I kick back in my seat to enjoy the film and tuck into (大口吃) my box of popcorn, I’m often irritated by seeing someone next to me texting on their mobile phone or worse still, talking to someone. It’s no surprise that a proposal by a US cinema chain to let people use their phones during some film screenings was met with such anger, that the company had to withdraw the idea. People said it was the worst idea ever! Surely, going to watch the latest film is just that — watching not multi-screening. And if you’re out with a friend it seems very antisocial or just rude. I certainly get distracted(分心的) by the click-click on someone’s mobile keyboard as they text and the glow of the bright small phone screen — why aren’t they concentrating on the big screen? But with the availability of streaming films at home and cheap DVDs, cinemas are struggling to keep their customers. Some places now offer comfortable seats with free snacks and drinks so maybe trying to attract a younger audience by allowing the use of mobile phones is the way forward. A survey in 2012 found that a majority of 18-to-34-year-olds believed using social media while watching a movie would add to their experience. However, not every young person wants to multi-task at the movies. Many of us still get annoyed by the theatre staff who appear not to do anything about it. Of course, we could ask the offenders to turn their phones off but as Adam Aron, head of AMC Entertainment, said in Variety magazine, “when you tell a 22-year-old to turn off the phone, don’t ruin the movie, they hear ‘please cut off your left arm above the elbow’.” Clearly this is not what I would like to see but if you want to use your mobile phone in the cinema that I’m at, please don’t sit next to me! What do you think is the right thing to do? 32. The underlined word “irritated” in Paragraph 1 means _________. A. annoyed B. depressed C. terrified D. embarrassed 33. Which of the following is True of the US cinema chain’s original advice? A. They forbade people to use the phone. B. The advice was carried out smoothly. C. The advice was very popular with people. D. They permitted people to use the phone. 34. What can we infer from Paragraph 3? A. People prefer to watch films and DVD at home. B. The cinema needn’t worry about their customers. C. Young people use their social media frequently. D. Sending messages is the best experience for young people. 35. What is the author’s attitude towards multi-task at the movies? A. Sympathy. B. Disapproval. C. Enthusiasm. D. Encouragement. 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。 How to Be Good at Sports If sports are something that interests you, it stands to reason that you would want to be good at them. Here are some tips that can help you become a good player. Set ambitious but realistic goals. If you want to be great at sports, you need to set your aims high. 36 Instead, you should take a look at what you are, and figure out where you think you would like to be. Give yourself a suitable amount of time to achieve that goal. Be patient. 37 Impatient athletes tend to make poor ones. If you’re not patient, you’ll try to jump into advanced techniques long before you're ready. You’ll feel discouraged when you don’t see immediate improvement. Join a sports team. Most of the sports teams are free to join. If you go to school, you should go for team tryouts when they’re happening. 38 Accept criticism. When you play sports, you will unavoidably receive criticism, whether from a coach or other players. 39 Are they angry because you missed a pass, or do they sincerely want to help you improve? In a lot of cases, you can use criticism as motivation to get better. 40 A skill become mastered when you’re able to do it without thinking. Given enough time and practice, a skill will eventually fall under this category. When in a game, you won't have time to think everything through, so practice until it's all automatic. A. Skills are often slow to build. B. This does not mean being unrealistic. C. You need to take most of it with a grain of salt. D. Practice until your skills become second nature. E. You also need to be clear about what you are good at. F. If you're not in school, you can find a sports club online. G.

Reading Week is launched to promote more reading from us students. As is known to all, reading is of much benefit to us in many ways. Above all, reading is a perfect way to spend our spare time.

Here are some tips on how to do some reading. First, it is advised that we form a good habit of reading. Second, we can change books with our friends, which can add more pleasure to both. Besides, we can exchange our opinions about books we read with others, making it easier to start a conversation while chatting. Yours Li Hua 听力录音材料 Text 1 M: Excuse me, is this seat taken?

Text 10 Today’s London Marathon was won by two men, Chary Handel from Lich and Ian Britton from Auckland, New Zealand, who crossed the finish line just outside Buckingham Palace hand in hand in the time of 2 hours, 22 minutes, and 16 seconds, five minutes slower than last year’s record time. They had run the whole race side by side. The first woman to finish was 34-year-old Betty Omary from Belfast in 2 hours and 18 minutes. The youngest person to finish so far was 30-year-old Shelly Mortimer from Alcester. All together, more than 10500 runners took part in the just over 42-kilometer course that started from Greenwich this morning. It is still too early to see how many will actually finish. The organizers say very few runners have dropped out so far, perhaps because of the cold weather. The medical teams had very little to do. There will be a full report on the London Marathon in this evening’s sports report at 7:15 on Radio 2. And now for the rest of the news.查看更多
