At one time,about 100 years ago, it seemed certain that many pinnipeds in the world would be destroyed byhuman hunters. Today, it appears that most species( 物种) of pinnipeds are out of danger.Hunting was not controlled during the 18th and 19th centuries, because little was knownabout the lives of pinnipeds. Whales and pinnipeds were hunted for the oil from their body fat.This oil was used in lamps before electric lights were invented. Millions of seals and otherpinnipeds were used to provide oil for the lamps of the world. As a result, the numbers of manypinniped species fell rapidly.Several things happened that helped to save pinnipeds. First, species that were hunted tonear extinction (灭绝) were left alone because their numbers were too low and the cost of huntingthem went up greatly. At the same time, electric lights were invented and the market for seal oilbecame smaller. Finally, governments around the world made laws to protect pinnipeds.As a result of all these things, the numbers of most pinniped species have grown in recentyears. With some species, such as Northern fur seals, there may be as many animals alive today asthere were before all the hunting began.However, oil is still a danger to pinnipeds and all sea animals. But this time its notbecause they are hunted for their oil. The oil that puts them in danger is from oil spills(泄露) inthe sea. The oil covers their fur and reduces their body temperatures. Oil also sticks to the foodsthey eat. This modern danger to pinnipeds and their environment is one we must work to prevent.4During the 18th and 19th century, _.Apeople had realized the importance of pinnipedsBpinnipeds were hunted for their meatCpinnipeds had a better life than todayDmany families were using lamps 5What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?AHow electric lights were invented.BWhen people began to protect pinnipeds.CWhat governments around the world have done to save pinnipeds.DWhy the numbers of some pinnipeds have increased.6It can be inferred from the passage that_.Athe market for seal oil is growingBNorthern fur seals arent in much danger nowCoil spills are the biggest problem for pinnipedsDstricter laws need to be made to protect pinnipeds7In which part of a magazine can we most probably read this passage?AWildlife.CTourism.BLifestyle.DEnvironment.When we want to tell other people what we think, we can do it with the help of words.We can also do it in many other ways, too. Sometimes we move our heads up and down when wewant to say “yes”, and we shake our heads when we want to say “no ”. Some people cant hear orspeak. They talk with the help of gestures（手势）. People from other countries often have to do itif they dont know your language.Here is a story. An American was once having his holiday in Italy, but he could not speakItalian. One day he went to a restaurant and sat down at a table. When the waiter came, the Americanopened his mouth, put his fingers in it and took them out again. In this way he wanted to say “Bringme something to eat”. The waiter soon brought him a cup of tea. The American shook his head andthe waiter understood that he didnt want tea. So he took it away and brought him a glass of milk.The American shook his head again. He was very hungry now and looked sad. He was just going toleave the restaurant when another man came in. When this man saw the waiter, he put his hands onhis stomach(胃). In a few minutes there was a large plate of bread and meat on the table in front ofhim.8Sometimes people move their headsAright and leftwhen they want to say “yes”.Bfast and slow Chard and easy9If people want to sayA“no”Dup and down, they may shake their heads.B“yes”C“words”D“OK”10If you cant, you may talk with the help of gestures.Bsay or singAwrite and readChear and speakDgo or comeAsias mountain glaciers (冰川) will lose at least a third of their mass through globalwarming by the centurys end, with serious consequences for millions of people who rely on themfor fresh water, researchers have said. The high mountains of Asia consist of a geographical regionsurrounding the Tibetan Plateau, holding the biggest store of frozen water outside the poles. It feedsmany of the worlds great rivers, including the Ganges, the Indus and the Yarlung Zangbo River, onwhich hundreds of millions of people depend.Nearly 200 nations adopted the Paris Agreement in 2015, which sets the goal of limitingwarming to a level of “well below” 2°C, while “pursuing efforts” to achieve a lower ceiling of1.5°CEarths surface has already warmed by about 1°C, according to scientists.The Asian high mountains, the new study said, were already warming more rapidly than theglobal average. A global temperature rise of 1.5°C would mean an average increase in the region ofabout 2.1°C, with differences between mountain ranges - all of which will warm by more than1.5°CThe Hindu Kush mountain range would warm by about 2.3°C and the eastern HimalayaMountains by 1.9°C, the study forecast.“Even if temperatures stabilize at their current level, (glacier) mass loss will continue fordecades to come,” the researchers added. “For the high mountain glaciers to survive, it is vital toreduce the global temperature increase to the lowest possible level.”A study in July in the journal Nature Climate Change said there was only a 5% chance ofholding global warming under 2°CFor 1.5°C, the chance was about 1%. On current trends, someexperts project Earth is on track to warm by about 3°C11What is stressed about Asias mountain glaciers in the first paragraph?AThe reason for its melting.

This is often even earlierelsewhere in the world, with students sitting down to their first lesson at 7:30 am in the US. Theaverage teenager ideally needs eight to nine hours sleep each night, but in realitya lot of teenagersstruggle to get this much. A lot of the problems happen because our sleep patterns are not fixed, andthey change as we grow.So a later school start time could help to solve this problem, by ensuring to get their eightplus hours of sleep and react properly to their bodys natural rhythms(规律). There has been ageneral change over the past 25 years to shorten the school day, This is not at the cost of teachingtime (which has remained constant) but at the cost of natural breaks, which has led to reduced lunchtime and lesson breaks.Later start times could help teens grades and health. This is mainly because it makes themanagement of children easier. Managing hundreds of children “playing” requires effective staffing.And there is always the fear that behavior worsens during breaks. So the theory goes that havingthem in class and strictly managed must be better.But this means that students barely have enough time to absorb what they were doing inmaths before suddenly they are forced to study ancient history. And teaching staff also movethrough from one class to another, with hardly a rest or time to refocus.Clearly rethinking the school day could benefit everyone included. Anyway, it could alsolead to better achievement in teenagers and less of a struggle for parents in the mornings. Forteachers, it could also mean a less stressful day all around and what could be better than that?19At what time do the students start their first lesson in the US?A7:00C8:00B7:30D8:30 20How do schools often shorten the school day?AThey reduce childrens lunch time and lesson breaks.BThey reduce the teaching time.CThey properly adjust children natural rhythms.DThey increase more holidays.21Whats the purpose of the short lesson breaks according to the text?ATo make children behave better in class.BTo make children quickly take in what they learned.CTo reduce childrens excitement.DTo manage children more easily.22What can we learn about later school start time from the text?AIt will add to the teachers pressure.BIt has always been there for 25 years.CParents may support it.DIt benefits the students only.In Alaska, the US, the grizzly bears are not alone because of Timothy Treadwell.Everyone knows that grizzly bears can be very dangerous to people. However, people can beperilous to grizzly bears, too, because their fur and food are beneficial for some people. In fact, halfof the grizzly bears die before they are five years old, even though they can live for about 30 years.Grizzly bears hibernate every winter. They sleep for several months. During this period, theydont wake up or eat anything. When they wake up in the spring, the grizzlies are in danger. ButTimothy can protect them. He sleeps in a tent near the bears and bathes in a river with them. Peopledo not hurt the bear
