But that doesnt mean theyre doing alright in the wild.TigersAll six tiger species are endangered, with Suatran tigers and South China tigers at a seriously endangered status. The main reasons for their population decline are illegal hunting and destroyed habitats, as humans clear forests to gather timber and build roadways. Only about 3890 tigers presently live in the wild.Ground squirrelsThats right, even squirrels are endangered, specifically the San Joaquin ground squirrel. Native to California, USA, these guys have been disappearing since 1979 on account of the construction and human developments going through their habitat. Their total population is unknown, but it could be anywhere between 124000 and 4130000.GiraffesThe International Union for the Conservation of Nature recently put giraffes at a vulnerable status, the level just before endangered. The giraffe population has declined 40 percent in the last 30 years, primarily due to loss of habitat and illegal hunting. Some giraffes are killed just for their tails, which are considered status symbols in Africa.Asian elephantsThe main threat to Asian elephants, one of the most intelligent animals, is their shrinking habitat. As the human population grows, people invade their land to build roads and railway tracks. Elephants in Myanmar are at an especially high risk for being captured and traded or used illegally in the tourist industry. Fewer than 50000 are left on the entire continent.21.

B. Human activities.C. Lack of food. D. Serious pollution.23. The tails of _ are regarded as status symbols in Africa.A. tigers B. ground squirrelsC. giraffes D. Asian elephants24. What can we infer from the passage?A. The giraffe population has increased greatly in the last 30 years.B. The number of squirrels is between 124000 and 4130000.C. Elephants in Myanmar are completely caught and even killed.D. The present situation of endangered animals is worrying.BI have forgotten the name of an old lady in my home town when I was a twelve-year-old boy. Yet it dwells in my memory that she taught me a lesson in forgiveness that I shall never forget.On a winter afternoon, a friend and I were throwing stones onto the roof of the old ladys house. As a result, the stone headed straight for a small window. We knew we were in trouble. We ran faster off her roof.I was too scared about getting caught to be concerned about the old lady with the broken window in winter. However, a few days later, I started to feel guilty for her misfortune. She still greeted me with a smile each day when I gave her the paper, but I was no longer able to act comfortably.I made up my mind to save my paper delivery money. In three weeks I had the seven dollars and put the money in an envelope with a note explaining that I was sorry for breaking her window and hoped that the seven dollars would cover the cost for repairing it. After that, I walked up to the old ladys house secretly, and put the letter I didnt sign through the letter hole. My soul felt relieved and I could have the freedom of, once again, looking straight into the old ladys kind eyes.The next day, I handed the old lady her paper and she thanked me for the paper, giving me a bag of cookies she had made herself. I thanked her and continued to eat the cookies while walking.After several cookies, I felt an envelope and pulled it out of the bag. When I opened the envelope, I was shocked. Inside were the seven dollars and a short note that said, “Im proud of you.”25. What does the underlined word “dwell” refer to?A. Appear. B. Change. C. Happen. D. Exist.26. What happened when the author and his friend were throwing stones?A. The roof of the old ladys house was broken.B. The stone broke a small window of the old ladys.C. The old lady broke into her house secretly.D. The old lady gave him a bag of cookies.27. How did the author feel about his breaking the old ladys window?A. Lucky. B. Discouraging. C. Regretful. D. Annoyed.CPersuasion is to convince someone to agree with you, just like art which also calls for special techniques to accomplish. According to the ancient Greeks, there are three basic tools of persuasion: ethos, pathos and logos.Ethos is a speakers way of convincing the audience that he is trustworthy, honest and reliable. One common way a speaker can develop ethos is by explaining how much experience or education he has in the field. After all, youre more likely to listen to advice about how to take care of your teeth from a dentist than a fireman.Pathos is a speakers way of connecting with an audiences emotions. For example, a politician who is trying to convince an audience to vote for him might say that he alone can save the country from a terrible war. These words are intended to fill the audience with fear, thus making them want to vote for him. Similarly, an animal charity might show an audience pictures of injured dogs and cats to make the viewers feel pity, so they will be more likely to donate money.Logos is the use of facts, statistics or other evidence to support your argument. An audience will believe you if you have convincing data to back up your claims. Presenting this evidence is much more persuasive than simply saying “believe me”.Although ethos, pathos and logos all have their strengths, they are often most effective when used together. So, the next time you listen to a speech, watch a commercial or listen to a friend try to convince you to lend him some money, be on the lookout for these ancient Greek tools of persuasion.28. What is the purpose of persuasion?A. To advise somebody to support you.B. To help someone have special skills.C. To convince somebody to realize his aim.D. To talk someone into being honest.29. What is a speakers way of convincing the audience to trust him?A. Pathos. B. Ethos. C. Logos. D. Education.30. What do a politician and an animal charity have in common?A. Both prevent themselves from being hurt.B. Both save people from terrible wars.C. Both make the audience support them.D. Both persuade people to donate money.31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Convince the Audience B. Three Basic Tools of PersuasionC. Believe Me D. Strength of PersuasionDFriendship is one of the basic bonds between human beings. While the characteristics of friendship might vary from one country to another, people from all cultures not only enjoy friends but need them.Many studies have shown that teenagers who have no friends often suffer from psychological disorders. It has been shown that teenagers, perhaps more than any other age group, need companionship and a sense of belonging. The negative consequences of loneliness have also been observed among the elderly. The death of a spouse often leaves a widow or a widower totally bereft. If, however, they are surrounded by friends and relatives and if they are able to express their feelings, they are more likely to recover from their grief.“No man is an island.” In other words, we are all parts of society. We all need the love, admiration, respect and moral support of other people. If we are fortunate, our friends will provide us with all of these necessary aspects of life.As most people observe, there are many levels of friendship. The degree or intensity of friendship varies depending on the personality of the individuals involved and the context of the relationships. Outgoing persons enjoy being surrounded by many people whereas shy persons are perhaps content with fewer but more intense friendships.Everyone is not equally open with all their friends. The degree of closeness is determined by many factors. Close friends can be formed at any stage in ones life but they are usually very rare. Not very many people have more than a few really close friends. Regardless of the level of closeness, all friendships are based on reciprocity（互惠）, honesty and a certain amount of love and affection.32. Who are more likely to suffer from psychological disorders without friends?A. Teenagers. B. Adults. C. The elderly. D. A couple.33. What does the sentence “No man is an island” really mean?A. No man is willing to live on an island. B. Man usually doesnt go to an island.C. Everyone is related with our society. D. Our society is just like an island.34. What can we learn about outgoing people?A. They like being alone. B. They are fond of making friends.C. They have intense friendships. D. They have fewer close friends indeed.35. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?A. The formation of close friends. B. The number of real friends.C. Honesty, love and affection.D. Factors to determine the degree of closeness.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。Tips for Staying SharpIts not abnormal to feel out of it from time to time or perhaps youre feeling a bit sluggish（迟钝的）when it comes to remembering things.
