11、orning, Wilson Kasaine walks along a dirt path in southern Kenya. Actually, Kasaine is tracking lions. Particularly, he is tracking one lion called Marti.Tracking lions on foot may sound dangerous, but Kasaine has been doing it for most of his life. Born in a traditional Maasai family, he understood

12、 the beauty and risk of the wildlife. Living with big game forces him to develop a good sense of where animals have been and where they might be going. During his 12-kilometer walks to and from school, he learned how to tell the paw prints of a lion from those of other animals.Growing up, Kasaine kn

13、ew that improving his tracking abilities would help him avoid other dangerous animals. But maybe Kasaine didnt know that, years later, he would be tracking lions specifically to encounter them and to protect them. Today he leads a small group of wide-eyed tourists over a red sandy path in the reserv

14、e, searching for the lion that has left upon it his unmistakable prints.Each year, tens of thousands of tourists come to Kenyas national parks to try to visit the “big five”: elephants, rhinoceros, leopards, buffaloes, and lions. The attraction of these animals to people all over the world means tha

15、t the nations economy is tied to the protection of its wildlife. If Kenyas wildlife disappears, so does its second-largest source of income.Considering the rapid urban development in Kenya, this isnt unimaginable. In 2016, a study shows that many of the nations most treasured species have fallen to

16、less than one-third of their population counting from just 40 years ago. The number of lions fell too. In 1998, the nation was home to over 15,000; only about 2,000 remain today. Several experts have predicted they could disappear entirely from the country in the next two decades.Wildlife protection

17、 efforts in Kenya must be at the sacrifice of other things. People were forced to leave their land and into smaller surrounding regions. Communities like Kasaines are now finding it increasingly difficult to maintain a traditional Maasai lifestyle. But they are glad that their sacrifice really makes

18、 a difference.1、What did Kasaine learn on his way to school and back home?AThe beauty and risk of the wildlife.BThe method of telling different plants.CThe skills of telling different paw prints.DThe lifestyle of a traditional Maasai family.2、What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer t

19、o?AThe lion.BThe path.CThe reserve.DThe group.3、Why is Kenya making efforts to protect wildlife?ATo improve the nations economy.BTo offer more jobs to the local people.CTo show the importance of the “big five”.DTo set a good example to other countries.4、What do we know from the fifth paragraph?AThe

20、lions in Kenya are in danger of dying out.BThe number of species declined seriously in 2016.CThe nations economy is experiencing a very hard period.DSpecies in Kenya decreased every year in the recent ten years.5、How does Kasaine feel about his sacrifice?AUnpleasant.BHopeful.CDoubtful.DWorthwhile.22

33、20, 1927, Charles ALindbergh Jr. took off from a muddy airfield in New York and headed for Paris. During the first fourteen hours of flying, he had had some anxious moments. Sleet had gathered on the wings of the plane and the fog was so thick that he could hardly see the tips of the wings. However,

34、 he had come across equally dangerous flying conditions before. Of course, now that he was over the ocean, his parachute（降落伞）was useless. He had only one choice: he had to go on.Although he had waited a long time to make this trip, he did not feel strange or nervous. He was accustomed to flying alon

35、e, and he had flown this route in his imagination many times. The idea of flying across the Atlantic had occurred to him one night when he had been carrying the mail between St. Louis and Chicago. That night, he told himself that a solo non-stop flight between New York and Paris was possible. He kne

36、w that airplanes capable of making the long flight over the ocean could be built. A man of skill and endurance could make his dream come true.As he was recalling that night, he reduced the altitude of the plane. Close to the surface of the ocean, he found that the ice on the wings began to melt and

37、the fog disappeared. For the time being, at least, he was safe. The steady sound of the motor seemed like music in his ears. He had perfect confidence in his plane because he knew that there was not a more dependable plane than his. The Ryan Aircraft Company had constructed the plane to meet his spe

38、cial needs. He had worked with the chief engineer of the company, Donald Hall, to produce the airplane as rapidly as possible. Although Hall had worked with the basic design of the Ryan airplane, he had had to make many modifications. As a result, it was a very special airplane. He had named it “The

39、 Spirit of St. Louis,” in honour of the St. Louis businessmen whose financial backing had made the trip possible. Besides their money, he had invested all of his own savings, which came to two thousand dollars, in the venture.At 12 :10 on the afternoon of May 21, Lindbergh caught sight of the coast

40、of Ireland. Now that the flight was almost over, he began to relax a little. Finally, after thirty-four hours in the air without sleep, he arrived at Le Bourget Field, in Paris.1、According to Paragraph 2, Lindbergh Jr. didnt feel nervous about the flight because of the following reasons EXCEPT that

41、_.Ahe was used to flying alone Bhe had waited a long time for the tripChe had imagined flying the route many times Dhis plane was specially designed2、What can we infer from Paragraph 3?AThe pilot listened to music as he reduced the altitude of the plane.BThe trip was made possible thanks to the fina

42、ncial support from some businessmen.CThe plane got its name in memory of a non-stop trip.DThe chief engineer designed the airplane independently to meet the pilots needs.3、What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 mean?Abeautiful decorations Bregular repairsCsmall changes Dcareful arrangements4、W

43、hich of the following would be the best title?AWings Across the AtlanticBA Solo Non-stop Flight of 24 HoursCThe Spirit of St. LouisDAn Outstanding PilotCharles ALindbergh Jr.25（10分） A group of scientists is gathering today in the U. K. to discuss a thick piece of ice thats cracking in Antarctica, wh

44、ich is of the size of Delaware.The ice shelf is called Larsen C, and it now has a 90-mile crack running through it. The big rift (裂缝) is slicing the ice shelf from top to bottom. But this is not just another sad climate change story. Its more complicated. “A lot of things are going on deep inside th

45、e ice,” says Adrian Luckman, a glaciologist.Luckman says climate change is certainly influencing this region. Larsen C used to have two neighbors to the north, Larsen A and Larsen BAs the air and water warmed, those ice shelves started melting and then disappeared in 1995 and 2002. But the crack in

46、Larsen C seems to have happened on its own, for different reasons.Larsen C has many cracks. All ice shelves do. This particular crack has been around since at least the 1960s. The unusual part is that in 2014, this crack and only this crack started growing quickly. Why?“Well, that is a little bit of

47、 a mystery and thats why it drew itself to our attention,” says Luckman. One puzzling aspect is how it managed to cut through areas of softer ice that bind (连接) the ice from neighboring glaciers into one giant sheet. Starting in 2014, that soft ice did very little to slow down this rift.Scientists a

48、re split on how important this crack is for the stability of the whole ice shelf. Some say if this giant section breaks off, it wont make a difference. Others disagree.“Ice shelves are the gates of Antarctica in a way, and the gatekeepers of Antarctica. The ice shelves are already floating, so if th

49、ey fall apart it does not immediately affect sea levels. Its what they hold back -water from all the inland glaciers that could be problematic. If all the water packed in those glaciers made their way to the sea, it could significantly raise global sea levels,” says Ala Khazendar, a geophysicist.1、L

50、arsen Cs two neighbors disappeared mainly because of _.Aclimate changeBhuman behaviorCthe crack in Larsen CDsome unknown reasons2、Why is Larsen C special?ABecause it still exists.BBecause it has many cracks.CBecause one of its cracks is growing rapidly.DBecause it is getting bigger and bigger quickl

51、y.3、Which one is true of soft ice?AIt is easy to cut through.BIts forming is still a mystery.CIt can prevent cracking to a degree.DIt exists mainly in small pieces of ice.4、How does Ala Khazendar feel about the influence of the crack?AHe is very curious.BHe is unconcerned.CHe is pretty optimistic.DH
