In all, more than six tons of ivory were destroyed. People called the event an ivory crush. In November, 2013, the similar event happened in Colorado, America. There, wildlife officials also destroyed more than six tons of ivory. Though it may sound strange, wildlife officials are crushing ivory to help save African elephants. Stephanie Wang, who works for the Wildlife Protection Society in New York City, says, “We try to let the world know that we dont think ivory is valuable when its not on an elephant.” Each year, poachers kill elephants, cut off their long tusks and take the tusks out of Africa secretly. Then they sell the tusks and get thousands of dollars. The buyers use the ivory to make sculptures, jewellery and traditional medicines. The purpose of recent ivory crushes is to send a message to the poachers and those who buy illegal ivory. Stephanie Wang says, “Chinas ivory crush is an important step. However, it is only a small amount (数量) of the illegal ivory. If we dont stop the illegal ivory trade, African elephants could disappear from the wild within 10 years.”( )31.

Where does the passage most probably come from?A. A magazine.B. A poster.C. A guidebook.D. A storybook. CThe next morning, we arrived at an area of water by boat. People called it “a wonderful playground for dolphins (海豚)”. The guide asked, “Lucky girls, you can swim in the water with dolphins. Who wants to go first?” Shannon, of course, volunteered. She had waited too long and couldnt help jumping into the water. Nearly as excited as she was, I decided to join her. Attracted by our coming, a group of dolphins danced around us. Their happy sounds, almost like laughter, were everywhere. We had brought underwater cameras so that we could take some photos of them. However, as the dolphins rushed past us, we quickly forgot about taking pictures. For hours, we took turns to jump into the water, swimming and snorkelling. The dolphins never seemed to get tired. Neither did Shannon. Even under water, I could see the excitement on her face as one dolphin after another swam by. That was her dream. When the guide told us that it was time to leave, we had to tear ourselves away from the water and get on the boat. , the dolphins continued to follow us, playing and jumping as if they were saying goodbye to us.

But 11-year-old Aaron Conley doesnt just work for pocket money. He has a full-time job and it needs training, hard work, and most importantly, a love of performing. Aaron has performed different roles more than 300 times. Child actors like Aaron have taken years of acting, dance, and singing lessons. These young actors try out (试演) for parts in plays and movies. If chosen for a part, the children must work hard. For example, Aaron, a sixth grader, must juggle his acting work and schoolwork. Thats the hardest of all! 新 课 标 第 一 网In fact, going to school became difficult when Aaron began receiving acting jobs in New York City. Many child actors go to private schools so that they can have flexible schedules (灵活的时间安排). However, these schools are expensive, so Aarons mother sent him to a public school. But the school schedule was difficult to follow because Aaron sometimes needed to leave in the middle of the school day for play practices or afternoon performances. Finally his mother decided to teach Aaron at home. But he still must finish homework just like any other student at his age. Child actors and their families make many hard decisions. One of the hardest decisions for Aarons family was moving from Mississippi to New York City. Aaron needed to live close to his acting jobs. This meant leaving behind family and friends. Also, because of his busy acting schedule, Aaron isnt always able to take part in activities. That makes it difficult to make friends in a new place.Night after night, show after show, Aaron Conley is helped to remember the difficulties of his job, but he loves what he does. And its really worth the effort (值得去努力).( )41.What is the most difficult part of Aarons life?A. Earning enough pocket money.B. Performing different roles.C. Trying out for parts in plays and movies.
