A study earlier this year found that about thirty Amur leopards(豹)still live free. The cats are also called Far Eastern leopards.Recently, their number has been reduced by one, Some person shot a female Amur, then beat her to death. The animals body was discovered last month in the Barsovy National Wildlife Refuge in eastern Russia.An official of the World Wildlife Fund, Darron, said this was the third such killing in the area in the past fives years. Mr, Collins said the death of even one adult female is a huge loss for the endangered cat, He noted that the killing reduces the possibility for cubs（幼兽）or young.It is not clear how many Amur leopards still live free. One population count was performed in February and March. Wildlife expert Dmitry Pikuuov led this study. It found evidence of seven to nine males. The study identified three to seven females without cubs, Four leopards were identified as females with cubs. In all, five or six cubs were recorded, Six to eight animals could not be identified.Most of the land where the Amur leopard once lived was in China.New roads and climate change there threatened the animals. So did hunters who kill big cats for their body parts.Mr. Pikuuov says adult Amurs need about five hundred square kilometers with good forests to survive. He said they also need a large and continuing supply of animals like deer for food.

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 she is trustworthy, honest and reliable. One common way a speaker can develop ethos is by explaining how much experience or education she has in the field. After all, youre more likely to listen to advise about how to take care of your teeth from a dentist than a fireman. A speaker can also create ethos by convincing the audience that she is a good person. If an audience cannot trust you, you will not be able to persuade them.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 support him. Similarly, an animal charity might show an audience pictures of injured dogs and cats, to make the viewers feel pity. If the audience feels bad for the animals, 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 be more likely to 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. Indeed, most speakers use a combination of ethos, pathos, and logos to persuade their audiences. 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.32Why does the author say persuasion is an art?A. They both entertain the audience. B. They both require great skill to achieve.C. They both demand full attention from the audience.D. They were both common topics of ancient Greek writers.33How is a speaker able to show her ethos to the audience?A. By expressing her sympathy with the audience.B. By telling the audience about her personal preference.C. By using beautiful language to make her statements attractive.D. By showing her knowledge and experience relating to the topic.34What can we learn about the three aspects of persuasion?A. Ethos is the most important aspect of persuasion. B. Each aspect has a different effect on the audience.C. Honesty is the key to making your arguments believable.D. Political leaders mostly use pathos to persuade their audience.35An advertisement for washing powder which claims that M scientific tests show that our powder kills 95% of all bacteria” is mainly using _.A. ethos B. pathos C. logos D. a combination of all three第二节（共5小题，每小题3分，满分15分）Tips for cooking on a Tight ScheduleFrom my experience, there are three main reasons why people dont cook more often: ability, money and time. 36 Money is a topic Ill save for another day. So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen. Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule:Think ahead. The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when Im already hungry and there is nothing ready to eat. So think about of the coming week. When will you have time to cook? Do you have the right materials ready? 37Make your time worth it. When you do find time to cook a meal, make the most of it and save yourself time later on. Are you making only one loaf of bread? 38 Because it takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save yourself the effort for a future meal.39 This may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is to keep trying. It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule . The more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.Hopefully, these tips will give you a good start. 40 And dont let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!A. Understand your food better. B. Make three or four more instead. C. Ability is easily improved.D. Try new things. E. Cooking is a burden for many people.F. These are some of the questions to consider when planning.G. Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden.第二部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分50分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题15分，满分30分）Manners nowadays in big cities like London are particularly non-existent. Its 41 for a big, strong schoolboy to push an elderly woman aside for the last 42 seat on the bus, much less stand up and offer his seat to her, as he ought to. In fact, it is a 43 to note that if a man does offer his seat to an older woman, it is nearly always a man of the older 44.This question of 45 seats in public transport is much argued by young men, who say that, since women have claimed 46, they no longer deserve to be treated 47 and that those who go out to work should take their turn in the rat race like anyone else. Women have never claimed to be 48 as strong as men. Even if its not 49 that young men should stand up for older women, however, the fact remains that good manners should be shown to the old, the 50 and the burdened. Are we really so lost to all ideals of 51 that we can sit there calmly reading the paper or a book, saying to ourselves “First come, first served”, while a gray-haired woman, or a mother with a young child stands? 52 this is too often seen.Older people, tired and easily 53 from a days work, arent angels, either. Many a sudden argument or a fierce quarrel 54 as the tired people push and pull each other to get on buses or tubes.If cities are to remain pleasant places to 55 in at all, however, it seems necessary, not only that communication in 56 should be improved, but also that communication between human beings should be kept smooth and 57. Shop assistants wont bother to 58, taxi drivers shout at each other as they drive dangerously round corners, bus conductors pull the bell 59 their desperate passengers have had time to get on or off the bus, and so on. It seems to us that its up to the young and strong to do their small 60 to stop such “worsening”.41. A. something B.everything C. anything D. nothing42.
