A months-long rescue operation to save giraffes from Longicharo Island’s rising water in Kenya recently concluded after delivering the last two stranded giraffes to safety at the Ruko Community Wildlife Conservancy. Save Giraffes Now partnered with Northern Rangelands Trust and local conservation agencies to transfer the Rothschild’s giraffes, one of the most endangered populations of giraffe.
To get the giraffes from the sinking island to the mainland nearly one mile away, community members built a “giraft”, a custom-made ship with tall sides, supported by 60 empty drums. The giraffes were transferred one at a time. “Water levels in Lake Baringo have been rising for some time, but in 2020 the rate of rise increased — flooding lakeshore homes, businesses, and threatening the lives of a small group of Rothschild’s giraffes on Longicharo Island, in Ruko Conservancy,” Northern Rangelands Trust said in a statement.
“At last, they can safely breed (繁殖) and bring back the population of the free-ranging Rothschild’s giraffes to their former home ranges in Baringo. It’s such a relief for all involved to have gotten them safely across to the mainland and we are sure they’re enjoying the space in their new home,” he said.
Rothschild’s giraffes were once widespread across Kenya, Uganda and southern Sudan, but numbers have decreased by 80%, leaving only 3,000 in the wild today. But there is hope, given by innovative (创新的) conservation teamwork such as this.
“Working with the communities in the area over the next several years, we will keep this combined group of giraffes safe, and as they breed, their numbers will grow over time, eventually rejoining their cousins in Uganda,” Save Giraffes Now said in a statement.
24. What does the underlined word “stranded” in paragraph 1 mean
A. Weak. B. Trapped. C. Lonely. D. Frightened.
25. What can we infer about the community
A. It is short of advanced equipment. B. It operates very efficiently.
C. It works with the local government. D. It aims to save all endangered animals.
26. Where did the Rothschild’s giraffes use to live
A. Near Lake Baringo. B. On Longicharo Island.
C. In Kenya, Uganda and southern Sudan. D. At the Ruko Community Wildlife Conservancy.
27. What is the main idea of the text
A. The giraffes are endangered in Kenya. B. Two giraffes have been saved in Kenya.
C. The Rothschild’s giraffes are finally found. D. The population of giraffes decreased.
C
Pi atex is made from pineapple leaves that are left over after the fruit is harvested. It is an innovative way of using a product that would otherwise be thrown away, which reduces the amount of organic waste going to landfill and thus the methane emissions (沼气排放) that would result. Tough and durable, it is commonly used as an eco-friendly material for vegan leather by fashion designers.
Pi atex was developed by Dr. Carmen Hijosa, a Spanish leather goods expert who grew horrified at the environmental impact of leather production while working in the Philippines in the 1990s. Nor did she approve of the petroleum-based alternatives that are commonly used. At the same time, Hijosa noticed how some traditional Filipino garments were made from pineapple fibers, which kickstarted her research into how such a resource could be transformed into something more widely usable.
The fabric is made by extracting (提取) fibers from the pineapple leaves after harvest. They are washed and dried in the sun, then undergo a purification process that results in a soft fiber. This is mixed with corn-based polylactic acid (PLA) and turned into a non-woven product called “Pi afelt”, which is the base for Pi atex products.
Around 480 leaves from 16 pineapple plants go into the creation of a single square meter of Pi atex, which weighs and costs less than a comparable amount of leather. Because the fabric is natural, it is breathable, as well as flexible; it can easily be printed on and sewed. It’s produced in a roll, which means less waste than when an irregularly-shaped animal hide is used. But best of all, it can replace animal leather.
Pi atex is a multi-use material that is suitable for footwear, bags, clothing, pet leashes, and more. It has already been adopted by 1,000 shoe companies, fashion labels, and hotel chains around the world, including Hugo Boss, H&M, and the Hilton Hotel Bankside. The number of partnerships is likely to grow as more designers and consumers discover its benefits.
28. What can we infer about Dr. Carmen Hijosa
A. She resists Spanish leather production.
B. She disapproves of any leather alternatives.
C. She is devoted to designing Pi atex garments.
D. She has got inspiration from a Filipino tradition.
29. What is the main idea of paragraph 3
A. Advantages of Pi atex. B. Ways to treat Pi afelt.
C. Purification of Pi atex. D. Process of making Pi afelt.
30. How does the writer think about the future of Pi atex
A. Ambiguous. B. Promising. C. Doubtful. D. Negative.
31. Which of the following could be the best title for the text
A. Pi atex, From Rubbish to Treasure B. Pi atex, New Use of Vegan Leather
C. Pi atex, New Hope of the Earth D. Pi atex, Innovation to Rid Rubbish
D

High school junior Kate Sours, for example, loves spending time with kids as a babysitter and enjoys helping people, so she focused on those two interests when she began considering potential careers.
Once you’ve thought about the subjects and activities you like best, the next step is to look for careers that put those interests to use. If you love sports, for example, you might consider a career as a gym teacher or a coach. 40 . There are hundreds of occupations, most of which are related to more than one skill area. School counsellors, teachers, and parents can help point you in the direction of occupations that match your interests and skills.
A. When you get job experience
B. If you don’t know what you want to do
C. But school counsellors say that’s perfectly fine
D. It’s important to think about what you like to do
E. But they aren’t the only options for people interested in sports

第一节 短文改错
第一处：第一句，drawn→drawing。考查with的复合结构。根据本句中的“With”可知，此处构成with+宾语＋宾补的复合结构，且宾语和宾补为主动关系，故应用现在分词形式。故把drawn改为drawing。
第二处：第一句，reason→reasons。考查名词的单复数。根据本句中的“many”可知，此处应用可数名词reason的复数形式。故把reason改为reasons。
第三处：第二句，goes→went。考查动词的时态。根据“Eighteen years ago”可知，此处应用一般过去时。故把goes改为went。
第四处：第三句，When→Since。考查状语从句。此处表示自从“我”出生以来，她一直把“我”照顾得很好，此处应用since引导时间状语从句，意为“从……以来”。故把When改为Since。
第五处：第四句，去掉she前的but。考查连词。though和but不能同时使用。故去掉she前的but。
第六处：第五句，在handle前加to。考查固定搭配。固定搭配encourage sb. to do sth.意为“鼓励某人做某事”。故在handle前加to。
第七处：第五句，proper→properly。考查副词。此处应用副词修饰动词“handle”。故把proper改为properly。
第八处：第六句，a→an。考查冠词。此处表示“我”成为了一名独立、自信且开朗的高中生，此处表泛指，且independent是读音以元音音素开头的单词，应用不定冠词an修饰。故把a改为an。
第九处：第七句，grow-up→grown-up。考查名词。冠词“a”后应接名词，grown-up作名词时意为“成人，大人”。故把grow-up改为grown-up。
第十处：第七句，him→her。考查代词。此处表示轮到我照顾她（妈妈）了，应用her指代mom。故把him改为her。

参考范文：
Last weekend a book donation activity was held in our school. This activity is aimed to share books with pupils in rural areas, and spread a kind of love to each other. What’s more, it is an environment-friendly activity.
Every student is supposed to donate 2 or 3 books in different fields. In addition, they can write a donation note as well. Through this activity, students not only share their books with the pupils who really need them, but also learn how to give their love to the ones who really need it.

The following are a few facts about Friendship Day. Friendship Day celebrations happen on different dates in different countries in the world. The day has been celebrated in several South American countries for many years, particularly in Paraguay (巴拉圭), where the World Friendship Day — International Friendship Day — was proposed for the first time.

However, some countries, including India, celebrate Friendship Day on the first Sunday of August. In Oberlin and Ohio, Friendship Day is celebrated on 8th April each year.
