He learned that the species was critically endangered, which surprised him.This encouraged Dr. Gibson and his colleague to investigate (调查) how a critically endangered species had become selfsustaining outside of its natural range. They discovered 49 cases of a globally threatened species becoming established as a separate population, including the yellowcrested cockatoo in their city.“This is a species which is primarily threatened by wildlife trade，” he told BBC News. “Poachers (偷猎者) go out into the forest in its native range in eastern Indonesia and capture the birds and then ship them off, usually up to our city where there is a strong demand for pet birds. This is what has fueled the decline of this species in its native range. But its really interesting because that same cause also had another effect: some of the people who were keeping this species here accidentally or intentionally released them.” As a result of enough of the birds being set free, it allowed a new selfsustaining population to be established in this city.The government of Dr. Gibsons city has made it illegal to capture the species, even though it is a nonnative species. Because the city is affluent and relatively well educated, the cases of people breaking the law are extremely rare, explained Dr. Gibson. Unlike in its native range in Indonesia where capturing birds forms a major source of income.However, there can be downsides (缺点) to the newly established population of endangered species, such as a limited genetic pool, and suffering from novel diseases. It did also present a possible “very interesting” opportunity for conservationists, Dr. Gibson suggested. This would involve “harvesting” some of the newly established secondary population, which may provide a way to help slow global biodiversity loss.语篇解读：本文为新闻报道，涉及野生动物保护话题。濒临灭绝的小葵花凤头鹦鹉遭非法交易，但幸运地被饲养这一物种的一些人释放，因此得以生存繁衍，形成次生种群，这也为自然环境保护主义者提供了一种缓解生物多样性丧失的途径。28What was beyond Gibsons expectations according to the first paragraph?AThe high rate of wildlife trade.BThe preciousness of the birds.CThe fact that the birds nearly disappear.DThe news that the birds were poached.解析：选C细节理解题。根据第一段中的“He learned that the species was critically endangered, which surprised him”可知，Gibson博士因获知小葵花凤头鹦鹉是严重濒危物种而感到惊讶。29What happened unexpectedly when the birds were shipped abroad?AThey formed a separate population.BThey were kept as pet birds.CThey were traded illegally.DThey were killed for research.解析：选A细节理解题。根据第三段中的“But its really interesting because that same cause also had another effect: some of the people who were keeping this species here accidentally or intentionally released them . a new selfsustaining .”可知，这些海运过来的鹦鹉被一些养鸟人释放了，最终使得它们形成一个新的自给自足的独立的群体，故选A。30Which can replace the underlined word “affluent”in Para. 4?APeaceloving.

But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”Albert EinsteinIf you have a kid with special needs in the school system, chances are you have come across that saying hanging on a classroom wall. My fiveyearold daughter Syona has cerebral palsy (a medical condition affecting someones control over their movement) and it means, combined with her communication challenges and sight problems, that standard assessments (and by “standard”， I mean the ones used to assess kids with special needs) arent always an accurate measure of her abilities.By now you have probably heard about Chris Ulmer, the 26yearold teacher in Jacksonville, Florida, who starts his special education class by calling up each student individually to give them much admiration and a highfive (a gesture of greeting or congratulation). I couldnt help but be reminded of Syonas teacher and how she supports each kid in a very similar way. Ulmer recently shared a video of his teaching experience. “I have seen their confidence and selfworth increase rapidly, ” he said. All I could think was: How lucky these students are to have such inspirational teachers.Syonas teacher has an attitude that can best be summarized in one word: awesome. Her teacher doesnt focus on what cant be doneshe focuses on what can be done. Over the past several months, my husband Dilip and I have seen Syonas confidence increase tenfold. She uses words she wouldnt have thought of using before. She recently told me about her classmates trip to Ecuador and was very proud when I understood her on the first try.I actually wonder what the influence would be if we did something similar to what Ulmer does with his students in our home. Weve recently started our day by reminding each other of the good qualities we all possess. If we are reminded of our strengths on a regular basis, we will become increasingly confident about progress and success.Ulmers reach as a teacher goes far beyond the walls of his classroom. In fact, he teaches all of us to take a moment and truly appreciate the strengths of an important person in our lives. 语篇解读：作者介绍了自己有病的女儿在她的老师的教育下越来越好，再联想到自己，产生了一些人生感悟。32What does the author think of Einsteins quote?AFunny.
