Globally, a third of Sumatran cubs in zoos dont make it to adulthood, so I decided to give them round-the-clock care at home. Ive got two children-the younger one, Kynan, was extremely happy about the tigers arriving-but all of us really looked forward to being part of their lives and watching them grow. I wasnt worried about bringing them into my home with my wife and kids. These were cubs. They weighed about 2.5 kg and were so small that there was absolutely no risk. As they grew more mobile, we let them move freely around the house during the day. But when we were asleep, we had to contain them in a large room; otherwise, theyd get up to mischief. Wed come down in the morning to find theyd turned the room upside down, and left it looking like a zoo. Things quickly got very intense due to the huge amount of energy required to look after them. There were some tough times and I just felt extremely tired. I was grateful that my family was there to help. We had to have a bit of a production line going, making up “tiger milk”, washing baby bottles, and cleaning the floors. When Spot and Stripe were four months old, they were learning how to open doors and jump fences, and we knew it really was time for them to go. It was hard for us to finally part with them. For the first few days, Kynan was always a bit disappointed that the cubs werent there. Im not sad about it. Im hands-on with them every day at the zoo, and I do look back very fondly on the time that we had them. 24. Why did the author bring the tiger cubs home? A. To ensure their survival. B.

Why did the author decide to send Spot and Stripe back to the zoo? A. They became difficult to contain. B. They frightened the children. C. They annoyed the neighbors. D. They started fighting each other. CA piece of news that another old cave has been discovered in the south of France doesnt arouse too much interest of the public. That is because such discoveries are so frequent these days that hardly anybody pays much attention to them. However, when the Lascaux cave complex was discovered in 1940, the world was amazed. Painted directly on its walls were hundreds of scenes showing how people lived thousands of years ago. The scenes show people hunting animals, such as bison or wild cats. Other images depict （描绘）birds and, most noticeably, horses, which appear in more than 300 wall images, by far outnumbering all other animals. Early artists drawing these animals accomplished a monumental and difficult task. They did not limit themselves to the easily accessible walls but carried their painting materials to spaces that required climbing steep walls or crawling into narrow passages in the Lascaux complex. Unfortunately, the paintings have been exposed to the destructive （破坏性的）action of water and temperature changes, which easily wear the images away. Because the Lascaux caves have many entrances, air movement has also damaged the images inside. Although they are not out in the open air, where natural light would have destroyed them long ago, many of the images have deteriorated （恶化）and are barely recognizable. To prevent further damage, the site was closed to tourists in 1963, 23 years after it was discovered. 28. Why does the author mention the news at the beginning of paragraph 1? A. To introduce the topic. B. To draw a conclusion. C. To give an example. D. To give background knowledge. 29. According to the text, which animals appear most often on the cave walls? A. bird B. wild dogs C. horses D. wild cats 30. Why was painting inside the Lascaux complex a difficult task? A. It was completely dark inside. B. The caves were full of wild animals. C. Painting materials were hard to find. D. Many painting spaces were difficult to reach. 31. What happened to the Lascaux caves in 1963? A. New lighting system was fixed. B. Visitors were prevented from entering. C. Another part was discovered. D. A new entrance was created. DStudents who are better able to understand and manage their emotions effectively, a skill known as emotional intelligence （EI）, do better at school than their less-skilled classmates, according to research published by the American Psychological Association. “Its not enough to be smart and hardworking. Students must also be able to understand and manage their emotions to succeed at school,” said Carolyn MacCann, lead author of the study. MacCann and her colleagues analyzed data from more than 160 studies, representing more than 42,000 students from 27 countries, published between 1998 and 2019. The students ranged in age from primary school to college. The researchers found that students with higher EI tended to get higher grades and better test scores than those with lower EI scores. This finding held true even when controlling for intelligence and personality factors. What was most surprising to the researchers was the association held despite different ages. As for why EI can affect academic performance, MacCann believes a number of factors may come into play. “Students with higher EI may be better able to manage negative emotions, such as anxiety, boredom and disappointment, which can negatively affect academic performance,” she said. “Also, these students may be better able to manage the social world around them, forming better relationships with teachers, classmates and family, all of which are important to academic success.” Finally, the skills required for EI, such as understanding human motivation and emotion, may overlap with （与重叠）the skills required to master certain subjects, such as history and language, giving students an advantage in those subject areas, according to Mac Cann. However, Mac Cann cautions against widespread testing of students to identify and target those with low EI as it may stigmatize （给打上烙印）those students. Instead, she recommends interventions that involve the whole school, including additional teacher training and a focus on teacher well-being and emotional skills. “Programs that integrate emotional skill development into the existing curriculum would be beneficial, as research suggests that training works better when run by teachers rather than external professionals,” she said. “Increasing skills for everyone not just those with low EI would benefit everyone.” 32. What can we learn from MacCanns study? A. Only students in middle school and high school participated in it. B. Students with lower EI tended to get higher grades. C. EI had an effect on learning for students of all ages. D. EI is also influenced by intelligence and personality factors. 33. What is not a reason for the conclusion of MacCanns study? A. High-EI students are capable of controlling negative emotions. B. High-EI students are more likely to develop social relationships. C. High-EI students have helpful skills for certain subjects. D. High-EI students can easily focus on their study. 34. What does MacCann suggest in the last paragraph? A. Equipping teachers with emotional skills. B. Introducing a new curriculum. C. Developing special programs for students with low EI. D. Employing emotional specialists to give training to students. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Should EI be taught in school? B. How can students develop high EI? C. Students with high EI do better in school D. Good students do better in managing emotions 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Say youre on vacation at Niagara Falls. You want to take an amazing photo that captures（捕 捉）the exceptional beauty of the waterfalls. 36 The thing is that youre not a professional photographer. So, what do you do? Here are some tips that can step up your photography game. 37 Before you snap （拍摄）a shot, ask yourself: What are you trying to document and why? That may be as simple as saying to yourself: “Im going to take a picture of this painting at the museum because I like the colors.” It can help you focus on what you want to remember. Make a shot list. Professional photographers often create “shot lists”a checklist of every photo they hope to capture, along with notes on style and compositionto ensure they get the coverage they need.

The images may be as simple as your dad napping （打盹）on the plane or your beloved backpack. Study your photos. It can be hard to appreciate your photos in the rush of a trip. 40 Youll most likely find some surprisesa glance （一瞥）of a friend in the background or a dangling （悬挂的）flower from a tree branch.

Try to capture moments or objects that may seem “ordinary”. D. Thus, wait until youre back home to study your images more carefully. E. However, you dont want to take the same photo that everyone else is taking. F. Making use of your senses is another way to add dimension to your pictures. G.
