The first warning my husband, Jimmy67. and I , 65, got came around 9 p. m. , from some text on the TV Jimmy was watching. He ran upstairs to find me in our third-floor bedroom, and we changed the channel from the national television to our local Pensacola, Florida, station

Colombia's Chiribiquete National Park, which is the largest protected tropical forest in the world, was just named a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its outstanding global value for nature and people. It was built in 1989 and has been enlarged twice and now covers 4. 4 million hectares in the Northern Amazon. This is a great win for environmentalists
Chiribiquete National Park has a high rate of species variety. It is home to almost 3, 000 animal and plant species, many of which are endangered outside of this amazing protected area. The park is also home to a huge amount of species that are distinctive to this area. Some of them have been decided to be many years old. According to UNESCO The park, which is located in the middle of two Pleistocene refuges and functions as a corridor(走廊) between three bio-geographic provinces, hosts many special species. "
The National Heritage designation(称号)marks the great success of decades of joint conservation(保护)efforts by the Colombian government, the World Wide Fund for Nature(WWF), and other environmental organizations. “This is an important moment for the protection of key ecosystems in Colombia, " said Mary Lou Higgins, Director of WWF Colombia. "The recognition of this unique place as a World Heritage Site is an important step toward protecting forests for future generations. It is a milestone for the Amazon and for forest conservation globally. "
Colombian president Juan Manuel Santos said that he welcomed the UNESCO designation and considered it as great news for Colombia. He promised to increase the conservation funds by an additional $525 million to better protect the country's environment. However, it is still a long way to go in protecting the park for generations to come.
18. What do we know about Chiribiquete Nation l Park

D. The ecosystems in Colombia are in a dangerous situation.

We humans like to conquer.
For the same reason that soccer players want to hold the World Cup trophy(奖杯)and tennis players crave a Grand Slam win, mountaineers dream of reaching the highest peak on the planet-Mount Qomolangma, which towers about 8, 844 meters above sea level.
"Everybody wants to stand on top of the word, "Mirza Ali from Pakistan who had just "Conquered" Mount Qomolangma, told the Los Angeles Times.
However, this desire to conquer has become so strong that we have begun to travel in the wrong direction.
During this year's climbing season-from March to May-at least 11 climbers died in the Himalayas, making it one of the worst seasons on record. And the fact that many of the climbers were inexperienced is one of the major factors(因素)contributing to the tragedy, according to USA Today
"They don't train very hard. They underestimate(低估)Qomolangma, " Jangbu Sherpa, who has been working as a guide on Mount Qomolangmasince2006, told NBC News "There are lots of climbers who just want to check the box so that they can say they've been to the top of the world. "
This ignorant attitude of climbers also leads to other problems-apart from putting their awn lives at risk, of course. According to Huff Post, the mountains cleaning group collected 12 tons of trash- including food wrappers(包装袋), and oxygen tanks-left behind this climbing season. This once holy(神圣的)and peaceful corner of the world has, as The Atlantic reporter Margret Grebowics put it, "lost its magic".
Perhaps what we should do now is restore meaning to the activity itself-real meaning. And for Alison Levine, a US mountaineer who reached the summit(山顶)of Mount Qomolangma in 2010, the meaning doesn't come with the summit itself, but with everything that led her up to it.
"When I did make it to the summit, what I realized is that standing on top of a mountain doesn't change you and doesn't change the world, "Levine told the NPR. "It’s really about the journey. The journey is the most important thing on any mountain. "
It's true that we humans like to conquer. But the first step of conquering anything is probably to learn to conquer our own greed(贪婪) and ignorance.
22. What does the underlined word “crave” in Paragraph 2 mean _________
A. be positive about
B. be likely to win
C. have no interest in
D. have a strong desire for
23. Which of the following statements is FALSE
A. Climbers left tons of trash behind while climbing Qomolangma.
B. This year's climbing season is one of the worst seasons on record.
C. The best time to climb Qomolangma this year was from March to May.
D. Not having professional equipment caused the climbing tragedy this year.
24. What matters more to Levine when she climbs
A. The journey to reach the top.
B. The spirit to conquer the top.
C. Being on top of the world.
D. Being able to change the world.
25. What attitude does the author hold toward climbing Mount Qomolangma
A. Critical. B. Positive. C. E encouraging. D. Ashamed

The guy who tried to edit English
The English vocabulary is not only huge, it's also full of words that mean practically the same thing. Gets
obtain, acquire. Shine, gleam, glow, sparkle. __26__
That was the thinking of a British writer named C. K. Ogden, who in the 1930s proposed(提议)a new form of English with a vocabulary of just 850 words. He called the project Basic English. __27__.
Ogden arrived at his 850-word list through experimentation, rephrasing texts over and over until he was satisfied. The words he finally included were not necessarily the shortest or most concrete. __27__ Because any verbal idea could be expressed with a small number of “operators”-words like come, go, get, take, have. make, be, and do-Ogden argued that most verbs were unnecessary. In Basic English, eat is “have a meal”. Forget is “go from memory”.
Winston Churchill was a fan of the concept as a way to get foreigners to speak English, and he encouraged the BBC to use it. __29__ Roosevelt, who expressed mild interest, joked that Churchill's famous speech about offering his“blood, toil, tears, and sweat" to his country wouldn't have been so exciting if he “had been able to offer the British people only blood, work, eye water, and face water, which I understand is the best that Basic English can do with five famous words. ”
__30__ Churchill didn't use it either. When seeking to express ourselves, we don't necessarily need fewer words;we need the right words. So it's to our benefit to have a large supply on hand.
A. Despite attention from world leaders, Basic English never got very far off the drawing board.
B. Do we really need them all
C. He also tried to persuade President Franklin Roosevelt to promote it.
D. He believed it would make the language more efficient and easier to learn
E. How many words are there in English
F. Ogden himself didn't actually use Basic English.
G. Plenty of seemingly basic words did not make the list at all.

I'll never forget the first time I read a long piece of his writing. It was when I __34__ for Princeton University and he offered to write the recommendation letter for me.

阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Once, when I was a teenager, my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus(马戏团). Finally there was only one family between us and the ticket counter.
This family made a big impression on me. There were eight children, all probably under the age of twelve. You could tell they didn't have a lot of money. Their clothes were not expensive, but they were clean. The children were well-behaved, all of them standing in line, two-by-two behind their parents, holding hands. They were excitedly talking about the clowns, elephants and other acts they would see that night with their brothers or sisters in a low voice. One could sense they had never been to the circus before. It promised to be a highlight of their young lives.
The father and mother were at the head of the pack, standing proud as they could be. The mother was holding her husband's hand, looking up at him as if to say, "You are my knight in shining armor". He was smiling and responding in pride, looking back at her as if to say“You got that right". The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted. He proudly responded, "please let me buy eight children's tickets and two adults’ tickets so I can take my family to the circus. ”
The ticket lady gave the price. The man's wife let go of his hand, lowered her head and her lips began shaking. The father leaned a little closer and asked, “How much did you say " The ticket lady again told him the price. The man obviously didn't have enough money.
How was he supposed to turn and tell his eight children that he didn't have enough money to take them to the circus Actually we were not rich in any sense, so I understand how the kids would feel. I felt sorry for them.
