In the late 1990s, a family visited the school where I taught deaf students. They said they would be moving here and planned to send their deaf daughter to my school as a first grader. They were upset that their child’s kindergarten teacher told them not to have high hopes for her academically. Based upon assessment results, the teacher painted a bleak picture for their little girl’s future. Standing behind them was Katherine, a beautiful five-year-old with long hair and dark eyes. The whole time her parents were there, and she didn’t make a sound or use sign language, even when her parents prompted her.
After a few weeks with Katherine, I discovered I was dealing with a very bright, very strong-willed child. Although I was able to engage her in a variety of learning activities, writing was a constant struggle. I tried all kinds of trickery to interest her in writing. Every time the pencils came out, she would shut down and refuse to write.
One day Katherine got off her bus and stood in front of the school wailing. The staff members present did not know enough sign language to ask her why she was crying. Finally they quickly took her into the office where they handed her a pen and a notepad. Katherine wrote: “PAC BAK.”. Immediately the office staff realized she left her backpack on the bus. They summoned (召唤) the bus back to school and soon Katherine was reunited with her backpack.
That day Katherine discovered the power of the pen. From then on she had a new appreciation for writing. She is a young woman now and has become an excellent writer, public speaker and student leader. In the summer of 2008 I traveled to the National Association of the Deaf Conference in New Orleans and watched her perform competitively as Miss Deaf Colorado. Kathy keeps in touch and I especially treasure her e-mails with term papers attached. This young lady wields a very powerful pen!
24. Why was Katherine arranged to the author’s school
A. Katherine likes various activities.
B. Her family settled in a new place.
C. The author is good at teaching deaf children.
D. Her parents were satisfied with Katherine’s teacher.
25. When the author first met her, what was Katherine doing
A. She kept silent. B. She kept crying.
C. She was studying. D. She was writing.
26. What does the underlined word “prompted” mean in Paragraph 1
A. Advised. B. Prevented. C. Convinced. D. Encouraged.
27. What does the author want to show by telling the story in Paragraph 3
A. How Katherine found her backpack.
B. What a kind group the staff were!
C. Why Katherine could make a change.
D. Where her backpack was found.
【答案】24. B 25. A 26. D 27. C

【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Every time the pencils came out, she would shut down and refuse to write.”（每次铅笔一出来，她就会停止写作，拒绝写作。）以及第三段“One day Katherine got off her bus and stood in front of the school wailing. The staff members present did not know enough sign language to ask her why she was crying. Finally they quickly took her into the office where they handed her a pen and a notepad. Katherine wrote: “PAC BAK.”. Immediately the office staff realized she left her backpack on the bus. They summoned (召唤) the bus back to school and soon Katherine was reunited with her backpack.”（一天，凯瑟琳下了车，站在学校门口嚎啕大哭。在场的工作人员不懂手语，无法问她为什么哭。最后，他们迅速把她带进办公室，递给她一支笔和一个记事本。凯瑟琳写道：“PAC BAK。”办公室工作人员立刻意识到她把背包落在公共汽车上了。他们叫那辆巴士回学校，很快凯瑟琳就和她的书包团聚了。），可知，Katherine在学校职工的帮助下“失而复得”自己的背包。第四段“That day Katherine discovered the power of the pen. From then on she had a new appreciation for writing. ”（那天凯瑟琳发现了笔的力量。从那时起，她对写作有了新的欣赏。）可知，笔的力量很强大，它让Katherine从一个“拒绝写”的人变为一个作家。作者想要通过讲述这个故事表明Katherine改变的直接理由。故选C。
C
Three minutes of looking at red light once a week may help our eyesight, new research suggests. The findings show that red light might be a cheap and easy treatment for declines in color vision as we get older.
Last year, researchers from University College London did a study on red light therapy (疗法). 24 healthy volunteers, aged between 28 and 72, were asked to look at red light for three minutes every day for two weeks. Tests later found that the eyesight of people over the age of 40 improved.
To test the possible weak points of their therapy, they did a new study this year. Instead of using the light every day, they used it once a week. The new study included 20 volunteers, aged between 34 and 70, all with healthy vision. Some received red light therapy in the morning, and others received it in the afternoon. They were then tested on their color vision up to a week later.
On the whole, those who got the treatment in the morning showed a 17% improvement in their color vision, even a week later. Those who got the treatment in the afternoon did not have any improvement.
“We’ve found that one single exposure (暴露) to red light in the morning can greatly improve declining vision,” said lead author Glen Jeffrey.
The findings do support their earlier work, and they might make the treatment more practicable, since a once-weekly treatment is easier to stick to than a daily one. But the team’s promising results are still drawn on small numbers of healthy volunteers. Larger studies would be needed to show the benefits of red light therapy.
“In the near future, a once-a-week three-minute exposure to deep red light could be done while making a coffee or listening to a song, and such a simple thing could change eye care and vision around the world,” Jeffrey said.
Given its low cost (as little as $15) per device, and simplicity, the team is excited about the future of their therapy.
28. What plays a key role in red light therapy
A. The time of day for treatment.
B. The device used in the treatment.
C. The time that one treatment lasts.
D. The number of treatments received.
29. What makes it necessary to improve the study
A. The age of the volunteers.
B. The number of the volunteers.
C. The poor vision of the volunteers.
D. The health condition of the volunteers.
30. What is Jeffrey’s attitude towards the future of the therapy
A. Unclear. B. Doubtful. C. Tolerant. D. Hopeful.
31. What is the purpose of this text
A. To state the importance of eye care.
B. To explain the value of deep red light.
C. To introduce a way to fight vision decline.
D. To encourage aged people to protect their eyesight.
【答案】28. A 29. B 30. D 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了研究发现可以利用红光疗法来治疗色觉下降。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The new study included 20 volunteers, aged between 34 and 70, all with healthy vision. Some received red light therapy in the morning, and others received it in the afternoon. They were then tested on their color vision up to a week later.(这项新研究包括20名年龄在34岁到70岁之间的志愿者，他们都有健康的视力。一些人在早上接受红光治疗，另一些人在下午接受。然后在一周后测试他们的色觉)”以及第四段“On the whole, those who got the treatment in the morning showed a 17% improvement in their color vision, even a week later. Those who got the treatment in the afternoon did not have any improvement.(总的来说，那些在早上接受治疗的人，即使在一周后，他们的色觉也提高了17%。那些在下午接受治疗的人没有任何改善)”可知，研究表明在上午接受红光治疗的志愿者一周后色觉有明显改善，而在下午接受治疗的则没有任何改善。所以在红光疗法中起着关键作用是一天中治疗的时间段。故选A。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段“But the team’s promising results are still drawn on small numbers of healthy volunteers. Larger studies would be needed to show the benefits of red light therapy.(但该团队的研究结果仍依赖于小部分健康志愿者。需要更大规模的研究来证明红光疗法的好处)”可知，还需要更多的志愿者来证明红光疗法的好处。故选B。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段““In the near future, a once-a-week three-minute exposure to deep red light could be done while making a coffee or listening to a song, and such a simple thing could change eye care and vision around the world,” Jeffrey said.(Jeffrey说道：“在不久的将来，每周一次三分钟的深红光治疗可以在煮咖啡或听歌曲时完成，这样简单的事情可以改变全世界的眼睛保健和视力。”)”可推知，Jeffrey对红光治疗的未来充满了希望。故选D。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“The findings show that red light might be a cheap and easy treatment for declines in color vision as we get older.(研究结果表明，随着年龄的增长，红光可能是一种廉价而简单的治疗色觉下降的方法。)”以及通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了研究发现可以利用红光疗法来治疗色觉下降。所以本文的目的是介绍一种对抗视力下降的方法。故选C。
D
According to the IUCN Red List 32, 000 species are threatened with extinction. Although we might be working hard to help some species come back from the brink (边缘), we might also be eating some threatened species without even realising it.
Searching industrial fishing records, researchers identified almost 100 endangered species being sold as seafood, and this is done legally. When sold, these fish are not required to be labelled according to species, so consumers have no way of knowing what they’re eating, let alone whether they’re endangered or not.
The team stresses that this is only the tip of the iceberg, as they only looked at a specific section of records and excluded groups of fish such as sharks, which are commonly eaten in Australia, Europe, and some Asian countries.
To solve the mess we’re creating in the ocean, the researchers have come up with some ways, one of which is to expand our idea of seafood to include jellyfish (水母). That might sound a little unusual, but it’s not the first time scientists have suggested it as a food source. And with jellyfish being one of a minority of wild animals that scientists think might be actually increasing in numbers around the world, it makes a lot of sense. With jellyfish as a food source, other endangered species may be kept in the sea.
Of course, there are other ways to help keep endangered species off the menu. Carissa Klein, University of Queensland (UQ) conservation scientist, thinks that the labelling of seafood needs to be improved, so that people are more aware of what they are eating. Besides, it can be also important if the cooperation between fisheries and conservation policies can be better promoted. “We would never consider eating mountain gorillas or elephants, both of which are endangered,” added Klein.
32. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. Almost 100 endangered fish are sold as seafood.
B. Consumers don’t know the endangered fish.
C. Fish are not required to be labelled.
D. Researchers only looked at a particular part of records.
33. What can you infer from Paragraph 4
A. The population of jelly fish might be decreasing.
B. Eating jellyfish is so unusual that people shouldn’t try it.
C. Making jellyfish as a food source is a new idea.
D. Eating jelly fish may help other endangered species in the sea.
34. Why does the last paragraph mention “mountain gorillas” and “elephants”
A. To support the suggestion for fisheries’ better partnership with protection policies.
B. To state the fact that people would never consider eating mountain gorillas or elephants.
C. To emphasize the importance of labelling the seafood that people are eating.
D. To inform the readers that mountain gorillas and elephants are endangered animals.
35. Where is this text most likely from
A. A science fiction. B. A government report.
C. A leaflet. D. A magazine.
【答案】32. A 33. D 34. A 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了让濒危物种远离我们的菜单的一些方法。
32题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“Searching industrial fishing records, researchers identified almost 100 endangered species being sold as seafood, and this is done legally.(研究人员通过检索工业捕鱼记录，发现了近100种濒危物种被作为海鲜出售，而且这是合法的)”可知，this指的是上文提及的近100种濒危物种被作为海鲜出售。故选A。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“To solve the mess we’re creating in the ocean, the researchers have come up with some ways, one of which is to expand our idea of seafood to include jellyfish.(为了解决我们在海洋中造成的混乱，研究人员想出了一些方法，其中之一是将我们对海鲜的概念扩展到水母)”以及“With jellyfish as a food source, other endangered species may be kept in the sea.(水母作为食物来源，其他濒危物种可能会被留在海里)”可知，将海鲜的概念扩展到水母，食用水母可能会帮助海洋中其他濒危物种。故选D。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Besides, it can be also important if the cooperation between fisheries and conservation policies can be better promoted. “We would never consider eating mountain gorillas or elephants, both of which are endangered,” added Klein.(此外，如果能够更好地促进渔业和保护政策之间的合作，这也很重要。克莱恩补充道：“我们永远不会考虑吃山地大猩猩或大象，这两种动物都处于濒危状态。”)”可知，提及山地大猩猩和大象的目的是为了例证前文提出的建议，支持渔业应更好地与保护政策合作的建议。故选A。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“To solve the mess we’re creating in the ocean, the researchers have come up with some ways, one of which is to expand our idea of seafood to include jellyfish.(为了解决我们在海洋中造成的混乱，研究人员想出了一些方法，其中之一是将我们对海鲜的概念扩展到水母)”以及最后一段“Of course, there are other ways to help keep endangered species off the menu.(当然，还有其他方法可以帮助将濒危物种从菜单中剔除)”以及文章内容可知，本文主要介绍了让濒危物种远离我们的菜单的一些方法，推测本文最有可能来自一本杂志。故选D。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一些简单的方法可以让学生在考试或测验前做好准备，从而不用再担心考试的问题。
【36题详解】
根据上文“If taking a test makes you feel worried, the good news is that there are many easy ways for you to prepare and feel better before the exam or quiz.(如果参加考试让你感到担忧，那么好消息是，有很多简单的方法可以让你在考试或测验前做好准备，感觉更好。)”和下文的小标题介绍的“Be organized（有条理）”；和“Make a plan（做计划）”这些方法可知，空格处所填的句子应该是一个过渡句，起着承上启下的作用。A项“Here’s how to get started.（这是开始的方式。)”起着承上启下的作用，与上下文一致。故选A。
【37题详解】
根据上文“Studying for a test will be easier if you organize you notes, handouts, and assignments ahead of time for each of your classes. (如果你提前组织好每门课的笔记、讲义和作业，备考会更容易。)”可知，提前将笔记、讲义和作业分类整理，这样复习条理清楚，备考会更容易。E项“This way, the information will be there for you when you need to review it(这样，当你需要复习时，信息就会随时为你提供帮助）”与上文形成一种具体解释的关系，逻辑意义一致。故选E。
【38题详解】
根据小标题“Make a plan（做计划）”可知，下文应该是有关如何做计划。下文“This might mean committing to studying for 30 minutes for a few afternoons the week before the test.(这可能意味着在考试前一周的几个下午花30分钟学习。）”是在解释如何做计划。G选项“Once you have a test date, look at a calendar and make a plan for when you’ll study.(一旦你确定了考试日期，就看一看日历，并为你何时复习学习制定计划。)”与小标题和下文内容一致，故选G。
【39题详解】
根据“If you have learned a lot of material, such as in science class, ask your teacher what information will be on the test. If your teacher hands out a study guide, use that guide to help you figure out what information you need to focus on most Next, decide how you want to review the material. Besides reviewing your notes, you could write key concepts on flash cards to test yourself.（如果你已经学习了很多材料，比如在科学课上，问你的老师考试中会有什么信息。如果你的老师分发了一份学习指南，使用该指南帮助你找出你最需要关注的信息。接下来，决定你想如何复习材料。）”可知，这段文字讨论了如何确定在备考考试时应该关注哪些信息，以及如何有效地复习这些材料，专注于合适的材料。C项“Focus on the right material（专注于合适的材料）”与本段内容一致，是一个更合适的小标题，故选C。
【40题详解】
根据“Next, decide how you want to review the material. Besides reviewing your notes, you could write key concepts on flash cards to test yourself.（接下来，决定你想如何复习材料。除了复习你的笔记，你还可以在闪存卡上写下关键概念来测试自己。）”可知，除了复习笔记，你也可以写下关键概念在卡片上。F选项“Write the question on one side of the notecard and the answer on the other.(在卡片的一面写上问题，另一面写上答案)”具体介绍如何使用闪卡复习。故选F。

58. that 59. calmness
60. has enrolled
61. mainly 62. Practicing
63. to call
64. What 65. beneficial
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。主要记叙了来自非洲的Khamisi Ally Abdi在中国学习期间对太极拳感受颇深的事情。
【56题详解】
考查冠词。句意：这位坦桑尼亚人从小就崇拜李小龙、成龙等功夫明星，在来到中国之前，他就知道中国功夫是一种快节奏的攻防艺术，但现在他意识到太极是不同的。 attack“攻击”是可数名词，此处表示泛指，fast-paced发音以辅音音素开头，需用不定冠词a修饰。故填a。
【57题详解】
考查动词时态。句意同上。根据“understood”可知，此处陈述过去发生的事情，使用一般过去时。故填arrived。
【58题详解】
考查强调句。句意：正是太极动作的平衡和有节奏的深呼吸，让他感受到运动的魅力。
强调句型的结构是It is+被强调部分+that/who+句子其他成分。分析句子可知，被强调部分是“tai chi moves with balance and deep rhythmic breathing ”。故填that。
【59题详解】
考查名词。句意：它在锻炼肌肉的同时给他的头脑带来安心和平静。and属于并列连词，连接两个并列的成分，peace“安心”是名词，所以空处也应是名词。故填calmness。
【60题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：学院作为国际交流中心之一，自2016年以来，已招收来自世界各国(主要是“一带一路”沿线国家)的300多名国际学生，为所有外国学生提供太极拳课程。分析句子可知，该句的时间状语是since 2016“自从2016年以来”，该句的谓语应使用现在完成时，因为主语是the college是单数，助动词用has。故填has enrolled。
【61题详解】
考查形容词。句意同上。空后是countries“国家”是名词，应用形容词来修饰。故填mainly。
【62题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：练习太极让阿卜迪对中国的文化和意识形态有了全面的了解。
分析该句可知，已有谓语动词has led，空处需填动名词作主语，位于句首，首字母需大写。故填Practicing。
【63题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：他现在更喜欢人们用他的中文名字叫他陈延志，因为延志的字有才德之意。prefer sb to do sth译为：更喜欢某人做某事。故填to call。
【64题详解】
考查主语从句。句意：他所渴望的是在他的国家教太极，他表示希望这种神奇的功夫能够造福于更多人。分析句子可知，主语从句中for后缺少宾语，此处要表示“什么”的意思，那么what符合此意。故填What。
【65题详解】
考查形容词。句意同上。空处需填形容词作表语，be benefical to 译为：对……有好处。故填beneficial。

Eric was a nine-year-old boy who lived with his single mother, Stacey and sister, Lily. They lived a hard life. Eric felt bad for their situation but worse for himself, especially in school.
Eric’s leather boots were worn out. They didn’t protect his feet from the rain, and his socks became totally wet as water went through the holes in his shoes. Stacey attempted to fix the holes but it was no use. Eric still walked to school with that pair of broken shoes. How much he wished he could also have new comfortable and expensive shoes his classmates wore!
One day, Eric returned from school and complained to Stacey, “It was raining today. Water has leaked into my shoes again. I hate my boots! Why can’t you get me new ones ” Stacey was sad and helpless. “I spent our last savings on your sister’s medicine. She’s sick. Eric you know that. You need to act like a responsible big brother!” she answered. Tears welled up in Eric’s eyes. “I hate you!” he shouted. “You only care about Lily! You don’t love me!” Then he cried and ran to his room.
After preparing dinner, Stacey went to his room with his dinner plate. “I’m sorry, Eric,” she whispered to comfort him. “We’re going through a very tough journey recently. But I’ll get you new shoes in the future.” However, Eric refused to listen to her.
The next day, when Eric went to class, he took his seat quietly and hid his feet under his chair, as usual. He was embarrassed to show his boots. As the math teacher Mrs Fletcher entered the class, all the students greeted her. “Today, we have a very special friend with us,” she smiled. “Everyone, please welcome Ben, your new classmate.” Soon after, a boy with a pair of crutches(拐杖)entered. The new boy only had one leg. Eric was shocked. He and all his classmates thought how unlucky Ben was and that he must be very shy and sad.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1: At that moment, Mrs Fletcher asked Ben to introduce himself.

Paragraph 2: Inspired by Ben, Eric realized he should appreciate what he had.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文：
At that moment, Mrs Fletcher asked Ben to introduce himself. To everyone’s surprise, Ben walked to the platform cheerfully and confidently. After greeting them in a joyful voice, he shared many hobbies and his loving family. At the end of his speaking, Ben added, “Even though I have lost a leg, I never feel bad for my situation. I’m grateful for what I have.” All of the students were touched by Ben’s words and clapped for his courage and optimism from the bottom of their hearts.
Inspired by Ben, Eric realized he should appreciate what he had. After school, he gladly walked home. When reaching home, he knocked at Mom’s door and apologized sincerely, “Mom, I’m sorry I shouted at you. I should thank you for everything you have done for me and I will take good care of Lily like a responsible big brother.” Hearing what he said, Stacey hugged Eric tightly, with relieved tears pouring down her cheeks silently. From that day on, Eric became confident and didn’t hide his feet under his chair any more.
【解析】

In the late 1990s, a family visited the school where I taught deaf students. They said they would be moving here and planned to send their deaf daughter to my school as a first grader. They were upset that their child’s kindergarten teacher told them not to have high hopes for her academically. Based upon assessment results, the teacher painted a bleak picture for their little girl’s future. Standing behind them was Katherine, a beautiful five-year-old with long hair and dark eyes. The whole time her parents were there, and she didn’t make a sound or use sign language, even when her parents prompted her.
After a few weeks with Katherine, I discovered I was dealing with a very bright, very strong-willed child. Although I was able to engage her in a variety of learning activities, writing was a constant struggle. I tried all kinds of trickery to interest her in writing. Every time the pencils came out, she would shut down and refuse to write.
One day Katherine got off her bus and stood in front of the school wailing. The staff members present did not know enough sign language to ask her why she was crying. Finally they quickly took her into the office where they handed her a pen and a notepad. Katherine wrote: “PAC BAK.”. Immediately the office staff realized she left her backpack on the bus. They summoned (召唤) the bus back to school and soon Katherine was reunited with her backpack.
That day Katherine discovered the power of the pen. From then on she had a new appreciation for writing. She is a young woman now and has become an excellent writer, public speaker and student leader. In the summer of 2008 I traveled to the National Association of the Deaf Conference in New Orleans and watched her perform competitively as Miss Deaf Colorado. Kathy keeps in touch and I especially treasure her e-mails with term papers attached. This young lady wields a very powerful pen!

Three minutes of looking at red light once a week may help our eyesight, new research suggests. The findings show that red light might be a cheap and easy treatment for declines in color vision as we get older.
Last year, researchers from University College London did a study on red light therapy (疗法). 24 healthy volunteers, aged between 28 and 72, were asked to look at red light for three minutes every day for two weeks. Tests later found that the eyesight of people over the age of 40 improved.
To test the possible weak points of their therapy, they did a new study this year. Instead of using the light every day, they used it once a week. The new study included 20 volunteers, aged between 34 and 70, all with healthy vision. Some received red light therapy in the morning, and others received it in the afternoon. They were then tested on their color vision up to a week later.
On the whole, those who got the treatment in the morning showed a 17% improvement in their color vision, even a week later. Those who got the treatment in the afternoon did not have any improvement.
“We’ve found that one single exposure (暴露) to red light in the morning can greatly improve declining vision,” said lead author Glen Jeffrey.
The findings do support their earlier work, and they might make the treatment more practicable, since a once-weekly treatment is easier to stick to than a daily one. But the team’s promising results are still drawn on small numbers of healthy volunteers. Larger studies would be needed to show the benefits of red light therapy.
“In the near future, a once-a-week three-minute exposure to deep red light could be done while making a coffee or listening to a song, and such a simple thing could change eye care and vision around the world,” Jeffrey said.
Given its low cost (as little as $15) per device, and simplicity, the team is excited about the future of their therapy.
28. What plays a key role in red light therapy
A. The time of day for treatment.
B. The device used in the treatment.
C. The time that one treatment lasts.
D. The number of treatments received.
29. What makes it necessary to improve the study
A. The age of the volunteers.
B. The number of the volunteers.
C. The poor vision of the volunteers.
D. The health condition of the volunteers.
30. What is Jeffrey’s attitude towards the future of the therapy
A. Unclear. B. Doubtful. C. Tolerant. D. Hopeful.
31. What is the purpose of this text
A. To state the importance of eye care.
B. To explain the value of deep red light.
C. To introduce a way to fight vision decline.
D. To encourage aged people to protect their eyesight.
D
According to the IUCN Red List 32, 000 species are threatened with extinction. Although we might be working hard to help some species come back from the brink (边缘), we might also be eating some threatened species without even realising it.
Searching industrial fishing records, researchers identified almost 100 endangered species being sold as seafood, and this is done legally. When sold, these fish are not required to be labelled according to species, so consumers have no way of knowing what they’re eating, let alone whether they’re endangered or not.
The team stresses that this is only the tip of the iceberg, as they only looked at a specific section of records and excluded groups of fish such as sharks, which are commonly eaten in Australia, Europe, and some Asian countries.
To solve the mess we’re creating in the ocean, the researchers have come up with some ways, one of which is to expand our idea of seafood to include jellyfish (水母). That might sound a little unusual, but it’s not the first time scientists have suggested it as a food source. And with jellyfish being one of a minority of wild animals that scientists think might be actually increasing in numbers around the world, it makes a lot of sense. With jellyfish as a food source, other endangered species may be kept in the sea.
Of course, there are other ways to help keep endangered species off the menu. Carissa Klein, University of Queensland (UQ) conservation scientist, thinks that the labelling of seafood needs to be improved, so that people are more aware of what they are eating. Besides, it can be also important if the cooperation between fisheries and conservation policies can be better promoted. “We would never consider eating mountain gorillas or elephants, both of which are endangered,” added Klein.
32. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. Almost 100 endangered fish are sold as seafood.
B. Consumers don’t know the endangered fish.
C Fish are not required to be labelled.
D. Researchers only looked at a particular part of records.
33. What can you infer from Paragraph 4
A. The population of jelly fish might be decreasing.
B. Eating jellyfish is so unusual that people shouldn’t try it.
C. Making jellyfish as a food source is a new idea.
D. Eating jelly fish may help other endangered species in the sea.
34. Why does the last paragraph mention “mountain gorillas” and “elephants”
A. To support the suggestion for fisheries’ better partnership with protection policies.
B To state the fact that people would never consider eating mountain gorillas or elephants.
C. To emphasize the importance of labelling the seafood that people are eating.
D. To inform the readers that mountain gorillas and elephants are endangered animals.
35. Where is this text most likely from
A. A science fiction. B. A government report.
C. A leaflet. D. A magazine.

Eric was a nine-year-old boy who lived with his single mother, Stacey and sister, Lily. They lived a hard life. Eric felt bad for their situation but worse for himself, especially in school.
Eric’s leather boots were worn out. They didn’t protect his feet from the rain, and his socks became totally wet as water went through the holes in his shoes. Stacey attempted to fix the holes but it was no use. Eric still walked to school with that pair of broken shoes. How much he wished he could also have new comfortable and expensive shoes his classmates wore!
One day, Eric returned from school and complained to Stacey, “It was raining today. Water has leaked into my shoes again. I hate my boots! Why can’t you get me new ones ” Stacey was sad and helpless. “I spent our last savings on your sister’s medicine. She’s sick. Eric you know that. You need to act like a responsible big brother!” she answered. Tears welled up in Eric’s eyes. “I hate you!” he shouted. “You only care about Lily! You don’t love me!” Then he cried and ran to his room.
After preparing dinner, Stacey went to his room with his dinner plate. “I’m sorry, Eric,” she whispered to comfort him. “We’re going through a very tough journey recently. But I’ll get you new shoes in the future.” However, Eric refused to listen to her.
The next day, when Eric went to class, he took his seat quietly and hid his feet under his chair, as usual. He was embarrassed to show his boots. As the math teacher Mrs Fletcher entered the class, all the students greeted her. “Today, we have a very special friend with us,” she smiled. “Everyone, please welcome Ben, your new classmate.” Soon after, a boy with a pair of crutches(拐杖)entered. The new boy only had one leg. Eric was shocked. He and all his classmates thought how unlucky Ben was and that he must be very shy and sad.
