nation of Kenya has a rich tradition in distance running,but a lack of successin field events meant there was no one qualified to coach Yego,who studied the javelin（标枪）onthe Internet.Yego was bom in Cheptonon,a village in the Great Rift Valley,in January 1989 and grew uploving football and running,but when he was lapped（领先一圈）by two competitors in a 10,000mschool race,he turned his attention elsewhere afterward.He would cut and shape a javelin from tree branches and although his parents thought heshould concentrate on his studies,Yego persisted and he became national junior champion.Combining his job as a policeman with training,Yego turned to the Internet,studying thetechnique and strength exercises the top javelin throwers employed.Neither being just 5 feet and 7 inches tall nor weighing 13 stone held Yego back.In 2011,hebecame the first Kenyan to win a field event medal at a continental meet with gold at theAU-Africa Games.A year later in London he became the

pupils in England will be grouped into bubbles when the new academic year starts inSeptember,with mass activities such as assemblies discouraged under new regulations announcedby Education Secretary Gavin Williamson.Schools were shut down in March,2020.Currently around 1.6 million of the country*s 9million school-age children are back in the classroom,but the government says a proper return inSeptember is“critical to our national recovery and attendance will be compulsory.Social distancing will not be applied in schools,and masks will not be worn,but insteadso-called bubbles,based on avoiding contact between individual classes or year groups,will bedeployed.This will mean separate start find finish times,and also different times for lunch andplaytime.Pupils will be discouraged from using public transport,which could bring many otherchallenges.Mobile testing units will be sent to schools which have an outbreak,and schools willhave testing kits to give parents if required,but if there are two confirmed cases in 14 days,potentially the whole school could be shut down.Geoff Barton,the general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders,says,Itwill be immediately apparent to anyone reading this guidance that it is enormously challenging tocarry out this proposal.The logistics of keeping apart many different bubbles of children in a fullschool,including whole-year groups comprising hundreds of pupils,is incredible.Meanwhile,before the much-anticipated next stage of easing lockdown in England takes placethis weekend,the number of COVID-19 cases has risen in 36 local authorities across England.Easing measures have already had to be delayed in the East Midlands city of Leicester,but nowother spikes（激增）in infection rate are being reported all across England.The areas with thelargest increases are Knowsley and Bolton,both in the North West of the country,and the Londonborough of Hammersmith and Fulham.In Knowsley,close to the city of Liverpool,the rate ofinfection rose from 6 people out of every 100,000 to 20.8.What does Gavin group the students into bubbles for?A.Setting different lime for school activities.B.Asking all students to wear masks in class.C.Keeping social distance among all students.D.Calling on students to take a bus for school.9.A school will possibly be closed again in England when.A.two cases of infection are confirmed in 14 daysB.there is a lack of testing units for pupilsC.the attendance of students isnt enoughD.the rate of infection rises from 6 people out of every 100,000 to 2010.Whats the attitude of Barton toward Gavin*s measure?A.Tolerant.B.Doubtful.C.Hopeful.D.Ambiguous.1 l.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.England has already ended the lockdown.B.More reports are about the spread of COVID-19.C.The number of COVID-19 infections is increasing in England.D.COVID-19 is more serious in England than in other countries.DToday the songs,and whistles of parrots resound through the rainforest of Puerto Rico.But afew decades ago,these sounds nearly vanished.Deforestation hit Puerto Rican parrots.Before Europeans arrived in the 1500s,their populationwas estimated at a million.By the 1970s,as few as 13 Puerto Rican parrots were left in the wild,limited to the islands only remaining forest,the El Yunque National Forest.In a desperate effort,conservationists began to raise the parrots in captivity（圈养）.It was asuccessful strategy:Though the chatty birds are still considered critically endangered,today morethan 600 exist.Now there may be a new threat to their survival,conservationists say.Captive parrots havedeveloped an entirely new dialect（方言）,a phenomenon that has not been observed before in othercaptive bird populations.Around 2013,Tanya Martinez,a conservation biologist,began to noticethe Puerto Rican parrots didnt all sound alike.If you would go into the El Yunque NationalForest to work with the wild population,it would almost sound like a different species from thecaptive birds,*says Martinez.Curious to learn more,she checked on all four parrot populations in existence two wild andtwo captive and recorded them.What she heard confirmed her suspicion:The sounds were notthe same from one population to another.The potential language barrier is worrying,says Timothy Wright,a biologist at New MexicoState University.To be successfully reintroduced,he says,parrots must be able to rely oncommunication,particularly to strengthen relationships in their individual communities.If youcant indicate to others that youre part of their group,you might not gain the benefits of being partof that group,like working together to find food,“Wright says.12.What does vanished underlined in the first paragraph mean?A.Rose.B.Changed.C.Occurred.D.Disappeared.13.Why did the conservationists keep Puerto Rican parrots in captivity?A.To find effect of captivity on birds.B.To save the species from dying out.C.To study the change in their dialects.D.To distinguish them from other parrots.14.What does Timothy Wright probably agree with?A.The new language may loosen parrots,bond.B.Teamwork among parrots depends on their sound.C.The sound of each parrot varies from one to another.D.Parrots in the same community have closer relationship.15.What can be the best title for the text?A.Puerto Rican parrots are suffering from captivityB.Puerto Rican parrots are facing a new survival crisisC.Puerto Rican parrots have many ways to communicateD.Puerto Rican parrots developed new dialects in captivity第 二 节（共 5
