阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Since I was born and brought up in a rural town, I have a great interest in nature. Using the chance of studying abroad in my second year at college, I decided to go to Canada just because I wanted to see the beautiful phenomena there So after I finished the study program, I went to Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories.
I clearly remember the sixth night in Yellowknife. Suddenly my host mother came to my room around 8 p.m. and told me to change clothes and go outside quickly carrying her camera.
The northern lights were flickering (闪烁) in the sky! I was shocked and just stood there with my mouth open. I forgot to take pictures of the mysterious lights.
Since that night, whenever it was sunny, I went outside at night and looked at the sky. It was so cold that I lost all feeling in my hands and feet.
As I took pictures of the northern lights, I came to find a characteristic movement of the lights. They first appear in the north part of the sky and then they gradually come down to the south part of the sky. After that, suddenly, they come in the middle of the north and south only for a while, which is the time when the best northern lights can be seen. Since it is only a few seconds for the northern lights to come down to the middle of the sky, it is very hard to get good pictures.
The stronger the sun acts, the better and stronger the northern lights flicker in the sky. That’s because they come about from the collisions (碰撞) between atmospheric gases and the solar wind. Much more solar wind comes to the earth when the sun is active, which leads to the best northern lights. And the colors of the northern lights depend on the height of the collisions and the kinds of gases.
1. Why did the host mother ask the author to go out
A. She wanted to take a picture of him.
B. She wanted to take a walk with him.
C. She wanted to tell him something important.
D. She wanted him to see the northern lights.
2. The author forgot to take pictures after going out because ______.
A. the host mother didn’t remind him to take the camera
B. he was shocked by the wonderful sight
C. the lights flickering in the sky disappeared too soon
D. he lost all feeling in his hands and feet
3. When is the best time to see the northern lights
A. When they appear in the north part of the sky.
B. When they come down to the south part of the sky.
C. When they are between the north and south.
D. When they rise in the east part of the sky.
4. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us
A. Ways to take good pictures.
B. The relationship between the sun and the northern lights.
C. The colors of the northern lights.
D. The time of the best northern lights.
B
Elephants might be the most well-known well-loved animal in African wildlife. But conservation (保护) of the African elephant still faces special difficulties. While the elephant population is half of what it was 40 years ago, some areas of Africa have more elephants than populated areas can support. That’s why AWF scientists are studying elephant behavior, protecting habits and finding ways for humans to live peacefully with elephants in Africa.
Years ago, overhunting and the ivory trade were the biggest threats to elephants’ survival. Luckily, ivory bans (禁令), hunting rules and protected areas protect elephants from these dangers today.
The 21st century brings a different challenge to elephant conservation—land-use. Elephants walk across borders and outside parks and other protected areas. So they often destroy crops, causing conflicts (冲突) between local farmers and these big animals.
Successful conservation strategies (策略) must allow elephants to walk freely in their natural habitats while reducing conflicts between elephants and local people.
AWF researchers are searching for a way to give both elephants and people the space they need The AWF is collecting information on elephant habitats and behavior. The information they gather will help to develop the widest possible space for elephants.
The AWF is helping elephants by protecting their habitats. And they also work with local farmers to improve their life in order to encourage them to protect rather than destroy elephants.
5. The first paragraph of the text is mainly to tell readers ________.
A. African elephants are endangered now
B. there remains a lot to do to protect African elephants
C. African elephants are popular animals
D. the number of African elephants has increased over the years
6. What is the biggest difficulty in protecting African elephants now
A. They are still being killed. B. Their habitats are being destroyed.
C. They don’t have enough food. D. They can’t live in peace with farmers.
7. To protect elephants, the AWF does all the following EXCEPT ________.
A. helping farmers improve their life B. protecting elephants’ habitats
C. doing research on elephants D. keeping elephants
8. What is the best title for the text
A. African elephants conservation B. Living with African elephants
C. African elephants’ situation D. African elephants being endangered

Dear Bill,
I’m glad that you are interested in the speech. To raise the awareness of keeping a healthy diet, Professor Smith was invited to give us a speech about how to have a healthy diet last Friday. Professor Smith not only offered us some advice on what we should eat, but also called on students to take more exercise.
Professor Smith’s speech has benefited us greatly, making us realize the influence of our daily habits as well as become aware of health condition and then begin to go in for all kinds of sports. As the saying goes, “we are what we eat” , it is better for us to get into a healthy eating habit which contributes to our body’s balance between nutrition and exercise. Remember: there is no better treatment than a healthy diet.
Now we have learned to keep a balanced diet and take more exercise to build up our strength, because of which we are healthier and more energetic now. More importantly, we have a better performance both in our study and daily life.
Yours,
Li Hua
