Evidence of English language ability.BOn Friday, more than a ton of ivory was crushed in New York Citys Times Square. The act is meant to highlight the threat of the illegal ivory trade to African elephants and show the world that the illegal ivory trade cannot continueThe event was organized by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, New York State agencies and the Wildlife Conservation Society, which runs New York Citys zoosThe crowd included lawmakers, wildlife advocates and celebrities“Todays ivory crushing will send a message to the world.”U.S. Interior Secretary，SallyJewell, told the crowd.“Were not only crushing ivory；were crushing the ivory market.” After speeches，a 25-ton rock crusher began grinding ivory statues into a sand-like pulp(浆状物)The hundreds of wildlife supporters broke out in applause as pieces of ivory flew from the machineThe destroyed ivory，along with six tons that were destroyed in 2017，will be used to create an elephant memorialThousands of African elephants are killed each year for their ivory tusks. The ivory is used to make expensive jewelry，ornaments(饰品)，and artAfrican elephant populations are now in grave danger because of the ivory tradeDestroying ivory that has been traded illegally may seem like a smart move, but the practice has been criticized by a number of groups，including some wildlife supporters. They say that ivory contains evidence that could be used against traders. Others argue that crushing ivory reduces the supply and increases the chances that poachers will hunt more elephants. But the groups behind the ivory crushing say the public awareness of this issue far outweighs the risks “I had no idea that the U.S. was one of the largest ivory markets in the world,” said Food Network star，Katie Lee，who works with conservation group，96 Elephants. “Every time I tell someone the statistics，theyre also very shocked. The more people that hear about this，the more change that can take place24.Which of the following is TRUE about the ivory crushing practice?AIt began with speechesBIt involved 25 tons of ivoryCIt was favored by all the wildlife supportersDIt was organized by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service25.What is the main idea of the fifth paragraph?APeople have different opinions about the practiceBDestroying ivory is a smart moveCThe practice is a big threat to poachersDIt is important to raise public awareness about this issue26.What surprised Katie Lee was that_.Athe ivory market in the U.S. is very bigBit is not easy to change the present situationCpeople have little awareness of the terrible situationDthe ivory markets in the world are very big27.Which of the following can best conclude the main idea of the paragraph_.Acrushing the ivory is to create an elephant memorial.Bcrushing the ivory is to force the government to take action on the ivory tradeCcrushing the ivory is to protest against the ivory tradeDcrushing the ivory is to save elephants in captivity in zoosCWhat do you do when you cant figure out how to finish a difficult task at work or when youre lost in an unfamiliar place? In life, when you get into trouble，there are many solutions. For example，you could invest more time and effort by trying different methods over and over again or looking up the answers onlineBut there is one thing most people know to avoid for sure：asking for adviceIt is inconsiderate we dont want to bother others. After all，they have their own problems to solve. Also, they may not have the answer we need, anyway. These reasons may or may not be true. But we are pretty sure that people will think less of us. So, good reasons or no, we dont askHowever, our research suggests that the instinct(直觉) to not seek advice is wrong. Fears about appearing to be having no ability to do things by asking for advice though extremely common are totally misplaced. Heres why: when you ask for advice, people do not think less of you；instead, they actually think you re smarter. By asking someone to share his or her personal wisdom, advice seekers can gain a deep understanding of something. In their minds, advisors actually think“Im brilliant, so this guy is smart to ask for my advice.”This finding is important, because seeking advice encourages information exchange, learning and meaningful connection between us and our friends and colleaguesIn addition，there is another side benefit: asking for advice allows us to make a surprisingly positive impression on our mentors(导师)Asking for advice is an effective way not only when we are facing a difficult task. The study shows that when facing conflict，asking your friends for advice makes you be able to look at it from more than one angle(角度)，thus leading to quicker and more likely solutions to the conflict.28.According to the text，people usually when they get into troubleAcall their friends for helpBturn to their computer firstCask for advice from othersDsolve the problem by themselves29.People dont 1ike to ask for advice because .they dont want to bother othersthey dont think others advice can helpthey believe others will think less of themthey are afraid of showing they are unable to do somethingABCD30.What can you learn from the third paragraph?AAsking for advice often is wrongBAsking others for advice will make a good impressionCPeople who dont ask for advice are smarterDAdvice seekers can get everything they want from others31.What is the authors attitude toward asking for advice?APositiveBNegativeCCautiousDObjectiveDThe homesharing programme，funded by Lloyds Bank Foundations charity department，matches young people who cant afford modern-day housing with lonely older people who have spare rooms.The young person simply has to promise to give 10 hours of companionship(陪伴) a week and help around the house to benefit from a rent-free homeBut both parties must pay a fee of up to 200 a month to cover the cost of running the schemeThe younger person also shares household bills.The foundation said the programme tackles a lack of affordable housing，as well as helping growing numbers of older people who feel lonelyEmma，a 33-year-old worker who homeshares in Putney after signing up to a programme a year ago，said, “The best thing about living in a homesharing arrangement is sharing with a great householder，and also being able to afford to 1ive in London，which makes me really happy.”“I met with the householder and his family and we both had the opportunity to see how we felt about the possibilityThankfully, its worked out really well. The person I share with is great fun；we both have a similar sense of humour. I enjoy the companionship，helping his confidence to grow and hopefully helping him enjoy life to the full. We have a great friendship now, which is lovely.” she saidThe programme has been given a 2 million investment by Lloyds Bank Foundation and the Big Lottery FundPaul Streets, chief executive of Lloyds Bank Foundation, said “Too often, we separate generations of old and young. Homesharing brings them together in a really positive way so that the older person can continue to have independence and the younger person can have somewhere affordable to live.”He said，“This important work sets out to prove it can work on a large scale and sustainably (可持续地)Were excited to be working with the Lottery and a range of delivery partners to prove it can be done in the UK.”32The aim of the homesharing programme is to .Ahelp young people to rent low-cost houses from older peopleBhelp old people to find nice young people to live withChelp old people share their spare rooms with younger peopleDcall on young people to help older lonely people33What should a young person do if he wants a rent-free home?ASpend 10 hours at home every dayBHelp to do some houseworkCPay 200 a month to help othersDPay all the household bills34The underlined word “tackles” in the fourth paragraph probably means “ ”Astarts withBfigures outCtakes control ofDdeals with35 According to Emma，the best thing about living in a rent-free house is Asharing with a kind person and being able to 1ive in LondonBenjoying the companionship from each otherCsharing with a humorous householderDhelping build up the householders confidence第2节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文之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。How to Read a BookBooks can be your best friends 36 They can introduce you to things you may never see But do you know how to read them in order to get the fullest enjoyment possible?
