The next day I headed to the airport, a little later than planned.When 1 got to the airport with only my carryon bag, it was 35 minutes before the gate closed. I headed directly to the security checkpoint. The electronic machine marked a big fat red x and told me to see an airline official. I did what I was told to do and stood in line at the airline counter （柜台），while one of the only two ladies available left. My heart was racing as I kept looking at the clock. A man, loud and rude, arrived with an airport employee and cut ahead, shouting at the lady and taking 10 minutes of my precious time.By the time I arrived at the counter it was 8:02 and the gate closed at 8:05. The lady asked me what was wrong, and I told her. She then scanned （扫描）my ticket and told me the problem was that the gate had closed. I plained and told her I had arrived earlier.“Where were you then?“In line, waiting for you.She didn't say anything else, except to help change my ticket. I didn't panic; instead I went into action mode. I searched for other flights. Just one flight would leave in 35 minutes. I was already at the airport, so I bought the ticket. I then tried to check in: checkin closes 40 minutes before the flight.I took a deep breath, stopped running around, grabbed a taxi home, and bought my third ticket from Sunday to Sunday, extending my stay.注意：1 .续写词数应为150左右；2 .请按如下格式在相应位置作答。I called Aline and we had a laugh about me missing the first flight in my life.In fact I did not miss my flight, but instead arrived a whole week early.听力：15BACAB610 AC ABC1115 BBACC 1620BACACC.

Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks (KDWP) officials confirmed the identification and are looking into how the fish, called a "living fossil”, got into the water in southeast Kansas.Kansas is home to three native types of garfish, the most mon being longnose gar, which can be as large as 5 feet long, along with shortnose and spotted gar, the department says.Smith knew he had got something big when he was fishing last month. "I thought I had caught a normal big fish J he said. “But it fought and fought, and pretty soon it came out of the water. The shape of its head really blew my mind.”Soon the fish doubled back and came to the edge of Smith's boat and he pulled it in. But once the big fish was in the boat, "it almost destroyed the boat,“ Smith said. "The fish was flopping and flipping （翻来翻去）.There was one little fish in the boat wanting to get out of it just as bad as I did because the bigger fish was tearing things up, » he said. "It also had sharp teeth in its mouth.”“It's the first time an alligator gar has been caught in Kansas and was likely released from an aquarium J state officials said. “It's not unlikely this fish was once somebody's pet or purchased from a pet store, and simply released into the river once it became too large,“ the department's Fisheries Division director Doug Nygren said. Smith said the state wildlife officials are ing to do an experiment on the fish's head to determine its age and perhaps where it came from.4. What did KDWP find out about the fish?A.

The country has unique wildlife, with 90% of its plants and animals found nowhere else. Madagascar's wildlife creates some of the country's most beautiful scenery and popular spots. One of its conspicuouslandscapes, attracting tourists from almost all corners of the Earth, is the Avenue of the Baobabs in the Menabe region. This avenue is made up of numerous baobab trees along the dirt road linking Belon,i Tsiribihina and Morondava, creating a unique and beautiful setting.Baobab trees are mon throughout Madagascar. Of the Earth's eight species, six are native to the country. Some of the baobabs in the country are about 2, 800 years old, with trunks rising to 150 feet. The avenue is a row of about 25 baobabs stretching about 260 meters. Other baobab trees are also found in the nearby pastures （牧草地）.This road is one of Madagascar's most visited places. It is also the most accessible place to see some of Africa's oldest baobabs. These trees were once part of a forest that was made up of other plants. However, massive deforestation cleared the area of most trees, leaving the baobabs to grow alone.The baobab trees along the road and the other species growing in the nearby areas are always under constant threat from the increasing population. The trees also face threats from polluted water from the nearby fields, forest fires, and bushfires. Despite being a popular tourist attraction, the Avenue of the Baobabs has no admission fee or visitor center and generates little money for local munities.Thankfully, nongovernmental organizations in partnership with the government have noticed the area and developed activities to protect the avenue. The Ministry of Environment, Ecology, and Forests declared it a temporary protected area in July 2007. In July 2015, the site was declared a national monument （国家保护区），the first in Madagascar. The government and local munities hope the trees can survive for additional 800 years.8. What does the underlined word “conspicuous“ in the first paragraph mean?A. New.B. Cultural.C. Striking.D. Changing.9. What do we know about the Avenue of the Baobabs?A It is a big forest.B. It has eight baobab species.C. It consists of many different plants.D. It has Africa's oldest baobabs.10. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A. The risk to local baobab trees.B. Natural disasters in Madagascar.C. Poor living conditions in Madagascar.D. The quality customer service of the avenue.11. What kind of feeling is expressed in the last paragraph?A. Curiosity.B. Caution.C. Hopefulness.D. Sympathy.DHearing a sound in his tea farm, Tenzing Bodosa awoke. Looking out, he saw a herd of wild elephants in the moonlight. For many tea farmers in India, seeing wild elephants in the crops is cause for alarm. However, for Bodosa, who employs more than 70 workers at two farms in the state of Assam, it meant everything was working as planned.He calls it the “world's first elephantfriendly tea farm”. Consumers pay more fbr this tea, which es from farms that protect elephant habitats, reduce fences and ditches。勾渠)to ease their movement and safely get rid of chemicals.The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) lists Asian elephants as an endangered species. About 40, 000 to 50, 000 elephants remain in the wild. That is a drop of more than 50 percent in the last 75 years. India is home to about 28, 000 wild elephants.

Assam has a population of 5, 719 wild elephants, the most after the state of Karnataka. Elephants regard tea farms as parts of their forest habitat, as they have been part of their migratory routes over centuries.“In India, meetings between humans and wild elephants often end badly for both J said Bodosa. "T decided that there had to be a way fbr us to coexist peacefully." Bodosa has been growing tea naturally since 2007, when he was one of the few farmers to start using natural products.To make his farms elephantfriendly, he created an area for elephants, planting elephant grass, elephant apples and star fruit. He provided them with easy passage by making sure there were no ditches or fences. Other animals visit his tea gardens too. Many human visitors e to his farms, and some stay in a tree house that he has built, and volunteer. Bodosa has also trained as many as 70,000 farmers in organic farming. t4We have to work hard to secure the lives of both wild elephants and humans," Bodosa said.12.
