After a couple of years, I began wondering why I didnt have any savings. Things had to change. It was then that I opened a bank account (账户). Even saving just a tiny amount each month can make quite a difference, so my advice would be for children like me to open an account and start saving.JamieMy advice is“be strict and know what youre spending”. I keep a budget (预算) so that I know exactly how much money I can spend on clothes, how much on going out with my friends and how much I need to save. I now work at the weekend, so I dont have to ask my parents for pocket money.LauraI always get pocket money from my parents. I would buy a coffee here or a sandwich there, and even though that only means two or three pounds a time, it soon increases in amount. One day I made a list of all the things Id bought that week and it really surprised me. Id spent 30 pounds on, well, nothing really! If I could give anyone advice, I would tell them to always ask themselves, “Do I really need this?”OliviaMy dad lost his job recently, so my pocket money stopped. Now Im doing a part-time job on Tuesdays and Fridays. It isnt a lot, but it is enough. Not only have I bee more responsible about money and how I spend it, but I feel good that Im working for it and not just relying on my parents. My advice to anyone is not to expect money to always be there and make sure you save enough for a rainy day.25.

But hope is not lost! According to the report, the species can be saved if immediate action is taken to control their natural predators (天敌) and other threats. The threatened animals can be found in the faraway Kimberley region of northwestern Australia. The region is similar in square miles to California. Thirty percent of the endangered species are unique to the region, while others have already disappeared in other parts of Australia.Dr. Tara Martin, a research scientist said in the report, “A large extinction event is happening in Australia. The north has really been the last stronghold (主要栖息地) for many species of birds and mammals and reptiles. The Kimberley is really their last chance on Earth.”Many of the species are under threat because they are hunted by wild cats. These cats kill around 500,000 native animals in the Kimberley region every day. The species face another threat, too. Their native habitat is also being destroyed by wildfires and by wild donkeys and goats that pete for food and water. Humans introduced cats, donkeys and goats to Australia to be farm animals or pets. However, their populations have exploded in the region because they have few natural predators.The report calls for $96 million to immediately start protection programs. The report also suggests reducing wild donkey and goat populations in the region, building fences, fighting wildfires and educating the munity about how to help the endangered species. Richard Hobbs, an ecologist at the University of Western Australia, says the costs are worthwhile because the measures will not be too difficult to carry out. 29. Which of the following should be done to protect the rare species of Australian animals?A. Providing new habitat for them.B. Supplying more food and water to them. C. Getting rid of the dangers to them.D. Leading them to the north of Australia for a better life.30. Paragraphs 2-3 mainly tell us _. A. where the threatened animals can be found B. how worrying the situation of the rare animals isC. the Kimberley is the home of many rare speciesD. the Kimberley is a safe place for animals to live31. According to the text, the following are threats to the rare species EXCEPT_. A. wild cats B. wild goats C. wild donkeys D. humans32. How many measures are mentioned in the last paragraph? A. Four. B. Five. C. Six. D. Seven.DThe human brain contains 10 thousand million cells (细胞) and each of these may have a thousand connections. Such great numbers used to discourage us and cause us to stop thinking about the possibility of making a machine with humanlike ability, but now that we have grown used to moving forward at such a speed we can be less sure. Quite soon, in only l0 or 20 years, perhaps, we will be able to build a machine as plex as the human brain, and if we can we will. It may then take us a long time to make it as intelligent as the human brain by properly programming it.I think it is certain that in decades, not centuries, machines of silicon (硅) will arise to pete with their human ancestors. In a real sense they will be able to reproduce themselves. Silicon will have endedcarbons long control. And we will no longer be able to consider ourselves to be the finest intelligence in the world.As the intelligence of robots increases and their cost goes down, we may achieve a lot with their help, first on the earth through their ability to plete any kind of work in harmful environments. In the end, deserts may turn into gardens. Further ahead, by a bination of the great wealth this new age will bring and the technology it will provide, the creation of a huge, man-made world in space, home to thousands or millions of people, will be within our power.33. In the authors opinion, the human brain _.A. is plex and intelligentB. is too plex to be reproducedC. may change a lot in 10 or 20 yearsD. will soon be replaced by machines34. The underlined word “carbon” in Paragraph 2 stands for _.A. an old machineB. human beingsC. an ocean animalD. intelligent robots35. In the last paragraph, the author mainly _.A. talks about the intelligence of robotsB. explains how to create a world in spaceC. describes what our future life might beD. shows his worry about the environment第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Everyone has worries, but what do you do with your worries?

Some of these “husbands” are strong with nice muscles, 62 the others are gentle, even female. 63 is known that the definition of good-looking often varies with society and time. And in ancient China, do they also look 64 (attract)?In a story 65 (record) in Zuo Zhuan, a woman hesitated between a gentle man and a strong one. She eventually _66_(choose) the latter.
