6.5 The power of nature
Ⅰ. 阅读理解
(2021届上饶市高三二模)
Many of us would like to spend all of our time helping dogs in need, but it can be hard to carve out that kind of time. Well, one man, Eugene Bostick, decided that when he retired, he would devote the rest of his life to helping homeless dogs feel loved.
Eugene Bostick was fortunate enough to be able to retire at the ripe age of 65 after working his entire life on his farm. His farm was located at the end of a dead end street, and he noticed that people would, unfortunately, abandon their dogs on the farm.
Eugene refused to see these pets suffering, and he quickly picked up these abandoned dogs, giving them food and taking them to the vet’s(兽医诊所) to make sure they were spayed or neutered(阉割)．
Eugene’s farm has all kinds of animals, such as horses and goats, so these dogs have plenty of other animals to play with.
Over the last 20 years, Eugene has shown his kindness by taking on these abandoned pets, but he has also seen the chance to offer them a bit of adventure. After spotting a neighbor transporting rocks behind his tractor using barrels, he realized he could do the same for his dogs. Eugene got to work to make his own train, and added some pleasant pillows so his furry friends could travel in comfort. The dogs quickly got on the barrel train, and together, they spent hours traveling around town and through the forests nearby.
After they were spotted around town, one neighbor took a picture of Eugene that went viral, and a GoFundMe page was started that gained plenty of donations. Eugene was amazed by everyone’s generosity, and was happy to see others help these abandoned animals feel loved. Eugene will continue to care for his dogs, and we should all follow his lead!

In advance of World Book Day on April 23, the Chinese Academy of Press and Publication released its 17th annual report on the study of Chinese people’s reading habits on Monday.
Based on a survey that ranged from August 2019 to February 2020, the report showed 81.1 percent of adult Chinese surveyed have a habit of reading, whether in print or on digital devices, a slight increase of 0.3 percent from 2018. Wei Yushan, director of the academy, said the survey covered 55 cities and towns in the country and it can credibly represent the situation of the whole population.
In 2019, adult Chinese read on average 4.65 books in print and 2.84 digital books, while in 2018 it was 4.67 and 3.32, a small drop for both.
While the report said most Chinese feel they’re not satisfied with the amount of books they read in a year. 11.1 percent read more than 10 books in print, and 7.6 percent more than 10 e－books. As for children and young people under 17, the results are more encouraging, according to Wei. The survey revealed they read 10.36 books a year on average, 1.45 more than in 2018.
Audio(有声的) books are attracting more Chinese, as 30.3 percent of adults and 34.7 percent of minors had a habit of listening to audio books in 2019, increasing by 4.3 and 8.5 percent compared to 2018. The report found mobile phones were the top choice of medium when Chinese people read. On average, adults spent 100.41 minutes a day on mobile phones, 15.54 minutes more than in 2018.
A closer look at the report shows people’s priority when using the Internet was to socialize(60.2 percent), followed by getting news(59 percent) and enjoying video clips(56.9 percent). Only 20.5 percent of them used it to connect to books, newspapers or journals.
Still, there’s good news in the data from younger readers. Wei said 94.3 percent of Chinese families with children under 8 had a habit of reading, and parents spent almost 25 minutes every day reading with their kids, 2.37 minutes more than in 2018.
5. What can we learn from the first two paragraphs
A. The 17th World Book Day will be celebrated on April 23.
B. The report is released every year by the Chinese Academy of Press and Publication.
C. More than 80% of the adult Chinese prefer to read on digital devices than in print.

Endangered species
An endangered species is a group of animals that could soon become extinct. __1__ Many species are nearly extinct and could disappear off the face of the earth very soon if we don’t do anything to save them. There are many reasons why species become endangered.
Habitat destruction is the main reason why animals become endangered and this happens in two ways. When humans move into a new area, the animals’ habitat is destroyed and there is nowhere for them to live and nothing to eat because humans chop down trees and build houses and farms. __2__ Chemicals in rivers and poisons on farms cause the destruction of animals’ homes and food supplies.
__3__ Animals have been brought to the edge of extinction because they are killed for their highly－valued meat, fur, bones or skin, or just for sport. Overfishing has resulted in many large sea creatures like whales and sharks becoming endangered species.
__4__ We should take care not to pollute natural areas, and farmers or companies who destroy animal habitats should face severe financial penalties. The public can help out by refusing to buy any products made from these animals’ body parts. Governments can help, too, by making it against the law to hunt, fish or trade in endangered species. They can also provide funding for animal sanctuaries, to protect animals from extinction by breeding more endangered animals, which they later release into the wild. __5__
A. Animal habitats are also destroyed because of pollution.
B. Endangered species are also the result of hunting and fishing.
C. Eventually, all the creatures on Earth will enjoy being together.
D. Recent changes, however, have helped to improve the situation.
E. So what can individuals and governments do to protect endangered species
F. Extinction happens when the last of the species has died out and there will be no more.
G. If we all cooperate and take these steps, we will protect these animals for future generations.

Endangered species
An endangered species is a group of animals that could soon become extinct. __1__ Many species are nearly extinct and could disappear off the face of the earth very soon if we don’t do anything to save them. There are many reasons why species become endangered.
Habitat destruction is the main reason why animals become endangered and this happens in two ways. When humans move into a new area, the animals’ habitat is destroyed and there is nowhere for them to live and nothing to eat because humans chop down trees and build houses and farms. __2__ Chemicals in rivers and poisons on farms cause the destruction of animals’ homes and food supplies.
__3__ Animals have been brought to the edge of extinction because they are killed for their highly－valued meat, fur, bones or skin, or just for sport. Overfishing has resulted in many large sea creatures like whales and sharks becoming endangered species.
__4__ We should take care not to pollute natural areas, and farmers or companies who destroy animal habitats should face severe financial penalties. The public can help out by refusing to buy any products made from these animals’ body parts. Governments can help, too, by making it against the law to hunt, fish or trade in endangered species. They can also provide funding for animal sanctuaries, to protect animals from extinction by breeding more endangered animals, which they later release into the wild. __5__
