The Chinese paddlefish(白鲟) living in the Yangtze River was declared extinct(灭绝的), according to a paper from Chinese experts at the Yangtze River Fisheries Research Institute. Wei Qiwei, an author of the paper, says that the fish has not been seen in the wild since 2003, nor do artificially bred(人工繁殖) individuals exist.
The Chinese paddlefish is one of the world’s largest freshwater fishes, which can grow up to 7 metres long. People call it “the Giant Panda of Rivers” because it is rare and native to China under first-level national protection, and its ancestors date back to more than 100 million years ago.
From the middle of last century, the population of the Chinese paddlefish declined rapidly due to overfishing, habitat degradation(毁坏) and pollution. The construction of Gezhou Dam in 198l on the Yangtze River also created a barrier to the migrating(迁徙) fish, contributing to the sharp decline of it.
Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of the People’s Republic of China announced a 10-year fishing ban along key areas of the Yangtze River to protect biodiversity in the country’s longest waterway. It started to come into effect this year.
9. What does the author intend to do in the first paragraph
A. To draw our attention to a ban. B. To introduce some Chinese experts.
C. To share his experiences in China. D. To inform us of the Chinese paddlefish.
10. The Chinese paddlefish called “the Giant Panda of Rivers” because .
A. neither wild nor artificial Chinese paddlefish have been seen
B. it is one of the world’s largest freshwater fishes
C. it is rare and native only to China
D. its ancestors lived as long as the giant panda

How to Be Able to Study Well
If you have an exam coming up but are faced with so many distractions, and you just don’t know how to carry out your revision, the following tips can help you.
13.
Choose a place with enough space where you can organize your books and papers and spread them out as much as you need to. Make sure you have everything you need—books, notes, paper and pencils. If you are in your room, consider hanging a sign on the door such as “No interruption please.”
14.
There are varieties of ways you can use to commit the information to memory. For example, create flashcards. Writing flashcards will help you remember, and ask another person to quiz you about the information with your flashcards or notes. Or offer to teach someone about the subject matter.
15.
You can break a snack into several mini-rewards. For example, “For each paragraph I translate, I’ll eat one apple slice.” Thus, if your stomach tells you to get that food again, you’ll have to finish something small first. Parents may be willing to offer rewards as well. If you love your dad’s milkshakes(奶昔), you can strike a deal to get one if you memorize your English expressions by the target time.
A. Create reading cards to teach young children.
B. Find a quiet, comfortable place to study.
C. Consider choosing a reward to motivate (激励) yourself.
