A smartphone program is helping scientists learn about changes taking place in nature. More than 100,000 citizen-scientists around the world are taking pictures of many kinds of plants and animals using a program called iNaturalist. The program gives researchers much information about where plants and animals live, and how a growing human population is changing plant and animal life.
In Arlington, Virginia, naturalists are making a record of the plants and animals that live in the heavily populated area.
Alonso Abugattas is the local government’s natural resources manager. He works to protect and improve Arlington’s natural spaces. The group is using the iNaturalist smartphone program to record its observations. Then iNaturalist users throughout the world can look at the images and try to help recognize them. The program records where and when the picture was taken. This lets experts like Abugattas and others create maps that show where plants and animals are living, and how that changes because of development and climate change. That is important in Arlington and around the world.
Scott Loarie is co-director of iNaturalist. He said species are dying at a faster speed than ever, and the mix of life on Earth is threatened. “And we’ve only begun to understand exactly how those ecosystems contribute to our food system, or human health—all these things that we depend on.”
Loarie says iNaturalist lets citizen-scientists help professional (专业的) scientists gather data of the wild plants and animals in the world. More than 100,000 iNaturalist observers on all seven continents have made more than four-and-a-half million observations. The information has been used in studies of other animals.
Alonso Abugattas says the group in Arlington recorded more than 450 kinds of animals and plants. “If you just open up your eyes to the natural world, you’d be amazed at what’s out there.”
24．Which of the following is the function of the iNaturalist smartphone program
A．Creating maps to show climate change.
B．Reminding experts to make out the photos.
C．Marking the time and places of the photos.
D．Writing down the names of species in the photos.
25．What did Scott Loarie want to tell us
A．The goal of iNaturalist.
B．The regret for dying species.
C．The importance of scientists.
D．The value of species to humans.
26．What do we know about the iNaturalist smartphone program
A．It calls on people in the world to change nature.
B．It directly helps professional scientists to gather data.
C．It gets wildlife information and data from all over the world.
D．It lets professional scientists pay attention to humans’ behaviors.
27．What can be the best title for the text
A．Two Heads Are Better Than One
B．A Cheap Way to Study Plants and Animals
C．Measures Are Being Taken to Protect Plants and Animals
D．Naturalists Use a Smartphone Programme to Take Photos of Wildlife

A US girl's dream to end poverty started with a walk down a street in downtown Fresno in California, US. Kaitlin Riffel was visiting her father at work -the Fresno Rescue Mission, a shelter for the homeless and those in need.
"I never realized there were people in the world who didn't have a home or food before," recalled Kaitlin, who is now 16. "I knew there was something I had to do about that." At age 8. she started raising money to build a playground at Rescue the Children, an organization in Fresno for women and children in need. "It took me two years, but my sisters and I raised S365（2,520vuan）," Kaitlin said. “We started small. We knew we wanted to do something to make a difference."
The amount jumped to $80,000 the following year after the girls worked with friends, and the playground was built in 2013. It inspired Kaitlin to found Kids on a Mission, a kid-powered nonprofit organization that has helped hundreds of people living in poverty in the US and abroad.
The work overseas started when Kaitlin, then 13, visited El Salvador in Central America. There, she saw people starving and families living in shelters made of cardboard. "The rooms were smaller than my bedroom, but there would be eight people living in each one," Kaitlin recalled. "We also got to see the rivers that these people were drinking out of, and the water was dirty."
Providing clean drinking water for people living in poverty is now a focus for Kids on a Mission. Children and adult volunteers dig wells and also help orphans（孤儿）by providing food and clothes.
Kids on a Mission is giving children larger leadership roles within the organization. Now that Kaitlin is a junior in high school, she may not play as big of a role in the organization if she moves away for college.
"This young lady just understands that by giving and having a huge heart, she's not only changing the hearts of people in this community, but she's changing the world," said Jim Yovino, Fresno County Superintendent of Schools.
28．Which of the following statements is TRUE
A．Kaitlin was inspired to help the poor when she worked at her father's organization.
B．Kaitlin succeeded in raising enough money for a playground with other people's help.
C．It took Kaitlin and her sister two years to raise $80,000 for Rescue the Children.
D．Kaitlin started volunteering at Rescue the Children when she was 8 years old.
29．What can we learn about Kids on a Mission
A．It was founded by Kaitlin and her sister in 2013.
B．It is a nonprofit organization aiming to end poverty in the US.
C．Only children from Kaitlin's community can join in it.
D．It is now focusing on providing clean drinking water to the poor.
30．According to the passage, Kaitlin________.
A．will continue to lead Kids on a Mission when in college
B．is now working on improving her leadership skill:
C．has a good effect on people in her community
D．has received much financial support for her work from her family
31．The article is mainly written to________.
A．call on readers to help people in need
B．introduce the work of Kids on a Mission
C．show that everyone can make a difference
D．share Kaitlin's story of helping the poor

An early morning winter storm had brought several inches of snow to my small town in the mountains. Schools were canceled, roads were dangerous and all I wanted to do was to stay in bed. Still, I knew I had to get the day started so I put on warm clothes and walked outside. The snow got all over my shoes. The cold wind dried my lips and my eyes. My 47-year-old back ached in anticipation (预想) of the shoveling (铲雪) I would have to do if the snow didn't stop soon.
Yet, when I looked out on the white blanket that covered the ground, I couldn't help but smile a bit. It was so beautiful. It softened the bare trees and hid the dead grass. In the distance I could hear the sound of the snowplow on the road, the barking of a happy dog and the laughter of children playing outside, enjoying their day off from school.
The sweet music of that laughter brought back a hundred memories of winters past. I remembered catching snowflakes (雪花) on my tongue, building snowmen, making snow angels, running down hills and always losing snowball fights with first my brothers and then my own children. Standing there in that warm coat of memories made the wind a little less cold and my back a little less sore. I turned up my head, stuck out my tongue and for the first time in years caught a snowflake on it. It tasted so fresh and clean. It tasted like youth, like joy and like love.
May you always feel young in spirit, no matter how old or achy your body may be. May you always delight in the simple joys of life. May you always share your happiness with the hearts of children. And may you always give your love, your light, your laughter and your warmth to others even on the coldest days.
32．What was the author's first reaction when he knew it snowed heavily？
A．He felt worried. B．He was upset.
C．He was indifferent. D．He felt in danger.
33．From the underlined sentence in Paragraph l, we can know that the author________ .
A．felt too cold because the snow didn’t stop
B．didn't want to start his day on such a snowy day
C．ached in his back because of the cold weather
D．would make greater efforts to clear up the snow
34．From which senses did the author describe the joy of having snow？
A．Taste and smell. B．Sight and smell.
C．Sight, hearing and taste. D．Smell, hearing and taste.
35．What does the author mainly want to tell us with this article？
A．We should always stay young at heart.
B．Snow brings both fun and trouble to humans.
C．Memories can change our opinion in all aspects.
D．Appreciate every moment spent with your family.

67．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一个完整的短文。
One day my grandfather gave me a gift — a piggy bank. It had an opening through which one could put money in, but the opening was not big enough to reach in and get the money out. The only way to get at the money was to break the piggy bank open. My grandfather explained that was the whole idea; the piggy bank would help save my money so that, at the end of the year,I might have enough for that bike I dreamt about. He asked if I would put some of the money he gave me into the piggy bank. I agreed immediately and promised that I wouldn't break it open until I could afford my dream bike.
Whenever he gave me a little bit of money, he would say, "This is for spending. But you can save so me and put it in the piggy bank if you want to save it up." When he gave me larger amounts, it was clearly for saving in the piggy bank. For some time, this worked fine. I loved shaking the piggy bank and hearing the sound of the coins. As it became heavier, I grew more excited, dreaming about buying my new bike, and all the adventures I could have on it
Whenever I wanted to take some money from the piggy bank to buy delicious ice-creams or beautiful pens,I would imagine riding my bike on the street,and thinking of that, my thoughts about ice-creams or pens went away. So for almost six months, I only put money into the piggy bank without taking any out. I thought I wouldn't break my piggy bank for anything. But one day something unexpected happened. I saw a piece of news on the television that a serious earthquake had happened in a nearby province. As many houses were destroyed, a lot of children became homeless. Seeing their shabby clothes and crying faces, I was sleepless that night.

Dear Jim,
I’m delighted to hear that you’ll be a senior student. Now, I’d like to share my study tips with you.
First, you’d better communicate with you teachers regularly. In this way, they may offer some great advice on both your study and life. Second, why not make yourself active in each class, listen to the teacher attentively and take notes carefully so that you can review later Third, it`s a good idea to do your homework on time soon after school, which will help you practice what you have learned and make it fresh in your mind.
I sincerely hope my advice can be helpful to you and that you can enjoy your new school life. Best wishes!

I knew I should do something. I went to my piggy bank and was about to break it and withdraw money when my mind came back to the bike I wanted to buy, and I hesitated. Thinking of the look in the eyes of the children hoping for help in the earthquake, I grabbed the piggy bank and threw it to the ground. Suddenly, the coins rolled all over the floor. "Yes, those children need help and need the money more." I said to myself.
My grandfather was surprised by my behavior. When he realized what had happened, he fondly touched my head and said, "Good boy, you did the right thing. Grandpa is proud of you." He continued, "My dear grandson, you deserve that bicycle. As a bonus, let's buy that bike together now. Then, go for a spring outing by bike. “Thank you, Grandpa. ” I was overwhelmed with happiness.
