younger sisters and brothers through school following the death of their mother, the only one who made money to support the family. but her family begged her to stop doing this job, and she has received “judgment and warnings” from strangers too.“my grandmother cried for many days. some people thought it was a joke to bring more customers. others said if she is doing it for money, lets just give her money to stop bringing us shame,” she said as she got water from a well by the roadside. “but i hate laziness or depending on somebody else.”however, aliyu has admirers. “some customers only

literature.cthese days we mostly hear news about animals being endangered. so a conservation (保护) success story is certainly one to celebrate. researchers have recently noted that californian blue whales have been making a comeback!blue whales are the largest animals ever to have lived on the earth. they have been on the list of endangered animals for a while now. humans hunted blue whales more than 100 years ago, and the animals almost die out.it is only recently that some of their cousins are returning.it has been found that there are now about 2,200 californian blue whales todaynearly 97% of the original (原先的) population, before humans started whaling.blue whales can live up to about 80 to 90 years. they are also one of the loudest animals on the earth. they make noises that other whales can hear, up to 100 miles away. they spend winters in warm waters to give birth and travel to the arctic (北极的) seas during summer in search of food.long ago, blue whales used to be plentiful in the oceans and numbered in the hundreds of thousands. now, there are only 10,000 to 25,000 of them worldwide. in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, people would hunt whales for their organs (器官).japanandrussiawere among the best-known whaling nations. they hunted whales for food, clothing and other valuable products. over-hunting caused the whale population to become smaller.conservation efforts of the last few years have certainly paid off. these include efforts to stop catches and increased monitoring of whales living places. saving blue whales cannot be a local effort; it will need everybody around the world to come together.9. recently, californian blue whales _.a. are increasing in numberb. are becoming endangeredc. are being hunted by the localsd. are a lot thinner than other whales10. paragraph 4 is mainly about _.a. the history of whalingb. the value of blue whalesc. the difficulties of hunting blue whalesd. the reason why blue whales became endangered11. conservation work on whales in the past few years can best be described as _.a. easy b. interestingc. successful d. late dwith regard to extreme sports, the general public think that people who choose to take risks are irresponsible. while extreme sports do not attract the masses, there are still a large number of people to whom these activities are an important part of their lives. it is our differences that make a society interesting, so while it may not be for everyone, high-risk activities contribute to the diversity (多样性) of our culture. as author, outdoorsman, and idaho state university teacher, ron watters explains in his essay “the wrong side of the thin edge”, everyone needs a little adventure. but some people need more than the normal forms of lifes excitement and take it one step further, joining in high-risk activities, where as the great american mountaineer willi unsoeld once said, “it has to be real enough to kill you.”marvin zuckerman, a psychologist at the university of delaware notes that people who take extreme sports do take risks, but there are far more dangerous “highs” they could be seeking. rock climbing and mountain biking offer a high that can only be achieved through self-discipline (自律), hard work, and a healthy lifestyle. take for example an extreme mountain biker who is prevented from mountain biking. if he likes risk-taking behaviour, it might not be long before he is gambling (赌博) as he seeks his next “high.” gambling addiction (上瘾) can quickly destroy a person, break up families and lead to health problems.it is easy for the health problem to be overshadowed by the greater problems like addiction, but it should be of particular concern to the public. consider the kids in the skateboard park. without the park, they might choose to play video games which have proven links to obesity. the long-term costs related to treating obesity are far greater than the cost of setting a few broken arms and repainting a few fences.instead of avoiding and discouraging extreme athletes, we should celebrate them for their differences and do what we can to support them. as the essayist t.s. elliot once said, “only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.” 12. who thinks forbidding extreme sports may result in other greater dangers?a. t.s. elliot. b. ron watters. c. marvin zuckerman. d. willi unsoeld.13. the example of gambling is to show _.a. it leads to health problemsb. it has a bad effect on self-disciplinec. it causes great harm to ones familyd. it carries greater risk than extreme sports14. the underlined part “be overshadowed by” in paragraph 4 probably means “ _”.a. be considered less important thanb. be more worrying thanc. be closely followed byd. be compared to15. whats the authors attitude towards extreme sports?a. concerned. b. positive. c. uncertain. d. negative.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。 efood safety is a problem in all places
