“I had no intention to adopt a cat that day.I just liked being around animals.” Miranda says.But when she saw Nala in her metal cage, “We made eye contact and I couldn't resist (抗拒) her big blue eyes.” At that point, “Nala was so small.I asked the shelter if I could hold her.Once I had Nala in my arms, Nala looked up at me and licked (舔) my face.” And that was when she knew she had to take this kitty home.
Still, Miranda never imagined Nala would become an Insta star.“I started Nala's Instagram account in 2012 as a way to share photos with my close friends and family in Thailand，” she explained.The possibility of Nala gaining attention beyond that small group of people hadn't occurred to her until it happened.
Miranda says, “Each time Nala's photo was featured on Instagram's popular page, her account would gain 1,000 new followers.” From there, Nala's popularity snowballed.Large nationwide brands messaged Miranda about hiring Nala to do ads.“This took us by surprise because we couldn't believe that a big brand wanted to pay us to take photos with their products next to Nala.”
Nala started life out in a shelter, just waiting to be loved like many other animals that were abandoned.Today that dream has surely come true.Nala has over 4 million followers on Instagram, which earned her the title “Guinness World Records Most Popular Cat on Instagram”．
In addition to managing her Insta fame, Nala is being asked to test various cat food brands.More importantly, “Nala is our chance to share the love to help create a better life for other animals, so they can grow well and bring joy to the world like Nala has.”

A recent study confirms that several turtle (海龟) species have either greatly dropped or disappeared from various sections of the Australian Murray River.“The problem is that the long life of turtles makes people unable to sense the seriousness of the situation.” says Ricky Spencer, a co author of the study, which was published in February in Scientific Reports.“It's human nature that only when something is gone do we start missing it.”
Spencer and his workmates recorded the population of three once common turtle species at 52 sites along the southern areas of the river.The researchers inferred the species' population sizes from the number of individuals they caught in a given amount of time.They found the turtles have disappeared in places where they were previously rich, and most of the individuals they managed to catch elsewhere were large — and likely old adults.Spencer and his workmates blame the losses on continuing nest predation(捕食)by foxes, accompanied by other problems, including a worse and worse environment and serious drought in the 2000s.
“We have known about the sudden sharp drop of the population of the turtles for tens of years, and although media have covered a lot about the ‘trouble of our rivers’， nothing has been done，” says Rick Shine from Macquarie University in Sydney.“This paper is a wake up call that unless we begin to do something about turtle protection, we may lose an attractive part of our native creatures.”
The turtles could recover quickly if action is taken to protect nests from foxes and bring back living areas, Spencer notes.But governments tend to respond only when losses reach crisis levels, and the Murray River species currently lack the government's protection, he says.He and his workmates have a solution, however.“Our next step is to start designing community protection efforts for common turtle species，” he explains, “so people can actually do things without having to wait for the government's support.”
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人们以为海龟寿命很长，对于海龟面临灭绝的问题没有给予重视。以斯宾塞为首的科研团队正在努力保护它们。
8．Why are people unaware that turtles are in a very serious situation

B．They know turtles have a long life.
C．Old turtles still have a large population.
D．Media haven't done any report about it.
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第一段中的The problem is that the long life of turtles makes people unable to sense the seriousness of the situation.可知，对于海龟寿命长的认知使人类没有意识到海龟正处于危险时期。故选B。

B．The environment is getting worse.
C．The climate is extremely dry.
D．Human beings kill them in quantity.

Snow leopards (雪豹) are so hard to photograph that scientists aren't even sure how many of these endangered animals still live in the wild.
The Snow Leopard Conservancy (SLC) set up 20 cameras in Russia in 2010 to learn more about the big cats.After a full six months, they had exactly zero picture! That's when the organization understood they needed help.And the only people who could help them in finding the leopards were the very people from whom they wanted to protect the animals — local hunters (猎人)．
Hunting snow leopards is against the law in Russia, but in the terrible climate of Siberia, the few people living there had to turn to poaching (盗猎) to feed their families.
In 2013, Russian naturalist Sergei Spitsyn approached Mergen Markov, a local hunter, and told him his project.Markov agreed to set up the camera where he knew he would find leopards, and it worked.
Markov, once a poacher, works full time for the conservationists now and has 10 cameras monitoring leopards.“I visit each camera once a month.I have known this whole region since I was a child，” he said proudly.
The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) began working with other local villagers in 2015.The village would be paid 40,000 rubles at the end of the year if the image of a snow leopard is caught.WWF also rents horses from the villagers so that they do not need to make money by poaching any more.“Today there are far fewer leopard poachers but leopards still get caught in traps set for other animals, so I have to stay watchful，” said Markov.
Changing guns for cameras has made a big difference in the lives of these former poachers, the village, and the Russian snow leopards.The number of snow leopards has been rising and their population is expected to recover to normal levels within 10 years.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了雪豹管理局安装摄像头去拍摄雪豹的照片，以获取有多少雪豹生存在野外，但没有拍到照片，于是他们找猎人帮助，猎人因此不再捕杀雪豹，雪豹的数量一直在增加。
12．Why was no picture of snow leopards taken in six months
A．SLC's 20 cameras failed to work properly.
B．The number of snow leopards in the wild was too small.
C．The local poachers destroyed these cameras on purpose.
D．The researchers knew little about the animal's living habits.
解析：选B 推理判断题。根据第一段中“scientists aren't even sure how many of these endangered animals still live in the wild可知，科学家们甚至不确定这些濒危动物有多少仍在野外生存。由此可推断出，六个月内没有拍到雪豹照片是因为雪豹的数量太少了。故选B。
13．What did Sergei Spitsyn persuade Markov to do
A．Find the poachers.
B．Repair cameras in the forest.
C．Catch more leopards.
D．Work for SLC.
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第四段中的Markov agreed to set up the camera where he knew he would find leopards, and it worked.及第五段中的Markov, once a poacher, works full time for the conservationists now可知，Sergei Spitsyn找到猎人Mergen Markov是为了让他帮忙拍摄雪豹照片，Mergen Markov现在全职为自然资源保护主义者工作。由此推断出，Sergei Spitsyn劝说Markov为雪豹保护协会工作。故选D。
14．Why did the WWF begin working with local villagers
A．To get some pictures of snow leopards.
B．To help villagers make a living.
C．To prevent villagers from hunting animals.
D．To rent their horses at a low price.
解析：选A 细节理解题。根据第六段中的The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) began working with other local villagers in 2015.The village would be paid 40,000 rubles at the end of the year if the image of a snow leopard is caught.可知，世界自然基金会开始与当地村民合作。如果获取到雪豹的图像，该村将在年底得到4万卢布的报酬。故选A。
15．How can we describe the WWF's cooperation with the villagers
A．Practice makes perfect.
B．Curiosity kills the cat.
C．Kill two birds with one stone.
D．Old habits die hard.
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据第六段中的The village would be paid 40,000 rubles ... to make money by poaching anymore.可知，如果获取到雪豹的图像，该村将在年底得到4万卢布的报酬。世界自然基金会还向村民租借马匹，这样他们就不需要再通过偷猎赚钱了。因此世界自然基金会和当地村民的合作既可以帮助基金会获取雪豹的图像，又可以帮助当地村民赚钱，一箭双雕。故选C。

When you think about a deadly animal, you may think of a shark, a lion, or even an elephant.However, the truth is that the deadliest animal in the world is much smaller and more annoying. 16 And it feeds on human blood, transporting numerous diseases from one person to the next.Figure it out, yet Yes, it's the mosquito.
The numbers don't lie: According to the World Health Organization, more than 725,000 people worldwide are killed by mosquito borne diseases each year.These diseases include malaria (疟疾), dengue fever, yellow fever, and encephalitis. 17 “Being able to adapt easily to new environments is one of the reasons why mosquitoes are the most deadly，” Bums Blackwell, an expert in pest control said.
18 Mosquitoes have learned to lay eggs in as little as a few small drops of water and each female mosquito can lay between 50 and 500 eggs once.Their populations also reach the highest point at different times in different areas all over the world, making it nearly impossible to avoid being bitten. 19
In areas where there're too many mosquitoes, local authorities try to control the population through routine pesticide (杀虫剂) applications.“We should protect ourselves by avoiding places where there is too much water，” said Bernard Cohen, MD, a professor at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. 20 Wear bug repellent (驱虫剂) that contains DEET (up to 30 percent) when heading outdoors, and reapply it about every four hours.
A．Most of the diseases can be cured in a short time.
B．There are more than 100 varieties of this thing on earth.
C．He also stresses that a little protection will go a long way.
D．And every bite increases the risk of getting a serious disease.
E．Mosquitoes take much interest in getting in touch with children.
F．Malaria is the most horrible, killing at least 600,000 people a year.
G．Another reason why the insects are so deadly is that they produce quickly.

The polar bear is found in the Arctic Circle and some big land masses as far south as Newfoundland.While they are rare north of 88°， there is evidence 36 they range all the way across the Arctic, and as far south as James Bay in Canada. It is difficult to figure out a global population of polar bears as much of the range has been 37 (poor) studied；however, biologists calculate that there are about 20,000－25,000 polar bears worldwide.
Modern methods 38 tracking polar bear populations have been employed only since the mid 1980s，and are expensive 39 (perform) consistently over a large area.In recent years some Inuit people in Nunavut 40 (report) increases in bear sightings around human settlements, leading to a 41 (believe) that populations are increasing.Scientists have responded by 42 (note) that hungry bears may be congregating (聚集) around human settlements, leading to the illusion (错觉) that populations are 43 (high) than they actually are. Of 44 nineteen recognized polar bear subpopulations, three are declining, six 45 (be) stable, one is increasing, and nine lack enough data.

第二节(满分25 分)
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was a Monday and Khan, a pet dog had joined the family the previous Friday.He had already decided that two year old Charlotte was his No.1 girl.The dog had seldom left her side since arriving at his new home.
Khan was next to Charlotte when Catherine took her into the garden for some fresh air.“I was just in the house doing boring mother things and Charlotte wanted to go outside and run around，” she says.“We were just walking around the garden looking at flowers and all that good stuff.Khan was with her.”
Charlotte was soon tired of playing in the garden and then went to play the padlock on the gate.“She was beating the padlock and it was banging on the gate，” Catherine recalls.She thought Khan, who was naturally right next to Charlotte, might be disturbed by the loud noise, but he seemed undisturbed by it.That was until, entirely without warning, he became very upset indeed.
“Khan suddenly started making this noise from the depths of his chest, this growl，” she says.“His whole chest puffed up, his hair stood up, and he lowered his head.He continued to make this growl.”
As Catherine watched, Khan seemed to double in size.“He kept trying to push her.I was right next to Charlotte — no more than a metre away and I thought, ‘He's going to hurt her’．His chest was bigger than he was long，” she says.
Time seemed to slow down as Catherine rushed desperately to save her daughter.But Khan got to Charlotte first.He grabbed her by the back of her clothes and threw her over his shoulder into the garden.“I turned and looked and she was just sitting there in a pile of grass.” Still not certain whether Khan's strange behaviour was some sort of attack on her child, Catherine raced to pick up Charlotte, who was completely unharmed, and take her inside to safety.Just as she turned to run into the house, Catherine saw a big brown snake bite Khan right in the chest and slid away quickly.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。
Khan screamed in pain and at the same moment, Catherine understood all.
Khan needed immediate medical help, so Catherine called a vet (兽医) in no time.
参考范文：
Khan screamed in pain and at the same moment, Catherine understood all.Khan noticed a snake going to bit little Charlotte, and Khan's action that seemed violent at first was really an attempt to save the girl's life.Although his brave action was performed just in time to take Charlotte away from the snake's bite, he instead was bitten a few moments later.
Khan needed immediate medical help, so Catherine called a vet (兽医) in no time.Thanks to the vet who recovered Khan by giving him an anti venom shot.If Khan had not stepped in at the right moment, the poisonous snake would have been likely to strike Catherine's daughter instead.Although it was only four days Khan had lived with this new family, this hero still knew the right thing to do, and he protected Charlotte's life with his own.The family planned to give Khan his deserved home as a way of paying him back for the love he demonstrated to their family in such a wonderful way.
