Aesha Ash is a ballet dancer who began The Swan Dreams Project in 2011. It is a program designed to bring ballet to girls of color in her community. Aesha Ash is one of the few women of color to ever grace the stages of the School of American Ballet in New York City. She wants to expose her community to more positive images of women of color through the use of ballet. She wants to show the world that beauty and grace are not defined by status or race.
Aesha grew up in the inner city of Rochester, New York, where crime, gun violence and poverty were among the biggest threats to the community. For her, that’s normal. That’s just life in the neighborhood, but what she remembers most is the dance studio. She started dancing at the age of five. A teacher mentioned to her mother that she had some promise in ballet, and that it would be difficult for her, as a woman of color, to enter the ballet world. But the hardship she faced was the very thing that pushed her to pursue a career in ballet.
And there’s so much negative stereotypes (刻板印象) and misunderstanding of who they are in the media. Through the use of imagery and her career as a ballet dancer, she challenges stereotypes that exist for women of color, particularly those from inner-city communities.
“It’s important that our girls see that side of themselves because for many kids it’s hard to be what you can’t see. I hadn’t seen a black ballet dancer before I decided that was what I wanted to be. It was really important for me to be in my environment displaying that because this is where I’m from. It was always beyond ballet,” Aesha Ash stated.
24. Why did Aesha start The Swan Dreams Project
A. To promote the images of females of color by ballet.
B. To expose her community to a world of women of color.
C. To grace the stages of the School of American Ballet.
D. To show the world that beauty and grace are defined by status.
25. Which of the following best describes the community she grew up in
A. Comfortable. B. Ancient. C. Peaceful. D. Unsafe.
26. What can’t we know from the passage
A. Aesha had a gift for ballet according to her teacher.
B. The hardship Aesha faced was the color of her skin.
C. Aesha wanted to be a ballet dancer because of a woman dancer of color.
D. It is not easy to change the stereotypes that exist for women of color.
27. What is the main idea of the text
A. A teacher provides chances for girls of color.
B. A woman brings ballet to the girls of color.
C. Ballet changes the life of a woman of color.
D. A woman has changed the negative stereotypes.
C
Wild animals seem to have escaped the Indian Ocean tsunami, adding weight to the idea that they have a “sixth sense” for disasters, experts said on Thursday.
Sri Lanka wildlife officials have said the waves that killed over 24,000 people along the Indian Ocean island’s coast seemingly missed wild beasts, with no dead animals found.
“No elephants are dead, not even a dead hare or rabbit. I think animals can sense disaster. They have a ‘sixth sense’. They know when things are happening,” H.D. Ratnayake, director of Sri Lanka’s Wildlife. Department, said on Wednesday.
The waves washed floodwaters up to 3 km (2 miles) inland at Yala National Park in the southeast, Sri Lanka’s biggest wildlife reserve and home to hundreds of wild elephants. “There has been a lot of evidence (证据) about dogs barking or birds migrating before volcanic eruptions or earthquakes. But it has not been proved.” said Matthew van Lierop, an animal behavior specialist at Johannesburg Zoo. “There have been no specific studies because you can’t really test it in a lab or field setting,” he said. Other authorities agreed with this conclusion.
“Wildlife seems to be able to pick up certain signs, especially birds. There are many reports of birds detecting coming disasters,” said Clive Walker, who has written several books on African wildlife.
Animals certainly rely on the known senses such as smell or hearing to avoid danger such as predators (掠食动物). The idea of an animal “sixth sense” is a lasting one that the evidence on Sri Lanka’s damaged coast is likely to add to.
28. What happened after the Indian Ocean tsunami
A. Many people died but wild animals survived.
B. The “six sense” of wild animals developed.
C. Wild beasts were killed or went missing.
D. The coast was found in good condition.
29. What does H.D. Ratnayake do
A. He is a zoo keeper. B. He is a wildlife official.
C. He is a movie director. D. He is an animal behavior expert.
30. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “detecting” in paragraph 5
A. Taking up. B. Putting up. C. Picking up. D. Bringing up.
31. What is the text mainly about
A. Animals can save themselves from human activity.
B. Animals’ natural power to escape from danger.
C. How to protect wildlife when disasters happen.
D. The serious damage of the Indian Ocean tsunami.
D
When the explorers first set foot upon the continent of North America, the skies and lands were alive with an astonishing variety of wildlife. Native Americans had taken care of these precious natural resources wisely. Unfortunately, it took the explorers and the settlers who followed only a few decades to decimate a large part of these resources. Millions of waterfowl (水禽) were killed at the hands of market hunters and a handful of overly ambitious sportsmen. Millions of acres of wetlands were dried to feed and house the ever-increasing populations, greatly reducing waterfowl habitat.
In 1934, with the passage of the Migratory Bird Hunting Stamp Act (Act), an increasingly concerned nation took firm action to stop the destruction of migratory (迁徙的) waterfowl and the wetlands so vital to their survival. Under this Act, all waterfowl hunters 16 years of age and over must annually purchase and carry a Federal Duck Stamp. The very first Federal Duck Stamp was designed by J.N. “Ding” Darling, a political cartoonist from Des Moines, Iowa, who at that time was appointed by President Franklin Roosevelt as Director of the Bureau of Biological Survey. Hunters willingly pay the stamp price to ensure the survival of our natural resources.
About 98 cents of every duck stamp dollar goes directly into the Migratory Bird Conservation Fund to purchase wetlands and wildlife habitat for inclusion into the National Wildlife Refuge System — a fact that ensures this land will be protected and available for all generations to come. Since 1934, better than half a billion dollars has gone into that Fund to purchase more than 5 million acres of habitat. Little wonder the Federal Duck Stamp Program has been called one of the most successful conservation programs ever initiated.
32. What was a cause of the waterfowl population decline in North America
A. Loss of wetlands. B. Popularity of water sports.
C. Pollution of rivers. D. Arrival of other wild animals.
33. What does the underlined word “decimate” mean in the first paragraph
A. Acquire. B. Export. C. Destroy. D. Distribute.
34. What is a direct result of the Act passed in 1934
A. The stamp price has gone down. B. The migratory birds have flown away.
C. The hunters have stopped hunting. D. The government has collected money.
35. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. The Federal Duck Stamp Story B. The National Wildlife Refuge System
C. The Benefits of Saving Waterfowl D. The History of Migratory Bird Hunting

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。
As Mom and I stood in line waiting to cash out at the store, I studied the customer in front of us who was reading the magazines to our left. She was young, maybe early twenties, but she already had a tired look with a slight stoop (驼背).
The items in her cart included the cheapest cuts of meat and meal like pasta, rice, and potatoes. Day-old bread, bargain soap, and inexpensive shampoo completed her purchases, well, almost. In the corner sat a toy car and a pretty dress that was 50 percent off. She continued to look at the magazines as we waited, and more people lined up behind us. She turned around and asked Mom for help.
“I’m sorry to bother you,” she began shyly. “But can you tell me how much this is I forgot my glasses at home.”
“Of course,” Mom said.
When Mom finally found the small print and told her, she sighed quietly and put it back.
“They’ve become so expensive, haven’t they ” Mom said in a low voice.
“Next!” The cashier called and she moved forward.
When the store employee finally added up everything and told her the cost, the woman’s face paled. It was obvious that she didn’t have enough money, and she scanned her items to see what she could do without.
One by one, she removed things, but she still came up short. She continued to take much-needed goods out while the cashier patiently deducted (扣除) things with a pleasant smile.
The child’s items remained in the cart, however. In fact, the palm of her other hand lay protectively across them, as if she didn’t want to give in.
The woman finally paid, and moved down to bag them.
When our turn came, Mom pointed to the pile of items the woman had taken out, added all our meat and fresh milk, and whispered “Separate bags, same bill please” to the cashier. She nodded, even though it was a “pack your own” kind of store.
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。
The cashier went on with her work and Mom moved next to the woman. ________________________________

There are many ways to see it—you can hire a car to drive, or go around by motorbike. You can even see the island by boat, but I went on what’s known as the green bus. We started in Nelson, which is in the northwest of the island. Then we headed off down the west coast, stopping at different places and up to our final destination—Christchurch, the second largest city in New Zealand, lying on the east coast. I also went on a day tour to a place called Kaikoura, which is 150 kilometers north of Christchurch. It is famous for its sea life and also for being one of the most exciting places in the world to see ocean birds. I was eager to see my favorite animal—dolphins, and there were whales too. There’re interesting things to buy in the South Island. Nelson Saturday Market is brilliant. There’re all sorts of goods in the market. I got a fantastic wooden mask as a souvenir, bur there were also paintings, jewellery and other things that would have been nice to bring home.

27. 主旨大意题。根据首段第一二句“Aesha Ash is a ballet dancer who began The Swan Dreams Project in 2011. It is a program designed to bring ballet to girls of color in her community. (艾莎·阿什是一名芭蕾舞演员，她于2011年创办了“天鹅之梦”项目。这是一个旨在将芭蕾舞带给她所在社区有色人种女孩的项目。)”可知，本文主要介绍艾莎办了一个旨在将芭蕾舞带给有色人种女孩的“天鹅之梦”项目。故选B。
28. A 29. B 30. C 31. B
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了印度洋海啸之后许多人死了，但野生动物活了下来。文章还列举了其他一些动物会躲避危险的例子。
28. 细节理解题。根据第二段“Sri Lanka wildlife officials have said the waves that killed over 24,000 people along the Indian Ocean island’s coast seemingly missed wild beasts, with no dead animals found.(斯里兰卡野生动物官员表示，印度洋岛屿沿岸造成2.4万多人死亡的海浪似乎与野生动物擦肩而过，没有发现死亡的动物)”可知，印度洋海啸之后许多人死了，但野生动物活了下来。故选A。
29. 细节理解题。根据第三段““No elephants are dead, not even a dead hare or rabbit. I think animals can sense disaster. They have a ‘sixth sense’. They know when things are happening,” H.D. Ratnayake, director of Sri Lanka’s Wildlife Department, said on Wednesday.(“没有大象死亡，甚至没有一只野兔或兔子死亡。我认为动物能感知灾难。它们有“第六感”。它们知道什么时候有事情发生，”斯里兰卡野生动物部主任H.D. Ratnayake周三说)”可知，H.D. Ratnayake是野生动物官员。故选B。
30. 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Wildlife seems to be able to pick up certain signs, especially birds.”可知，野生动物似乎能够捕捉到某些信号，尤其是鸟类。因此有很多关于鸟类发现即将到来的灾难的报道。故划线词意思是“发现，认识”。故选C。
31. 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Wild animals seem to have escaped the Indian Ocean tsunami, adding weight to the idea that they have a “sixth sense” for disasters, experts said on Thursday.(专家于周四表示，野生动物似乎躲过了印度洋海啸，这进一步证实了它们对灾难有“第六感”的说法)”可知，文章主要说明了印度洋海啸之后许多人死了，但野生动物活了下来，文章还列举了其他一些动物会躲避危险的例子。由此可知，这篇文章的主要内容是动物逃避危险的自然力量。故选B。
【答案】32. A 33. C 34. D 35. A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了由于栖息地减少，美国水禽骤减，因此联邦发行鸭票，狩猎者只有购买鸭票才能狩猎，而鸭票的部分收入进入用于购买水禽栖息地的基金，从而保护水禽。
32. 细节理解题。根据第一段“Millions of waterfowl were killed at the hands of market hunters and a handful of overly ambitious sportsmen. Millions of acres of wetlands were dried to feed and house the ever-increasing populations, greatly reducing waterfowl habitat.(数百万只水禽被市场猎人和一些野心勃勃的运动员杀死。数百万英亩的湿地被抽干，以养活和安置不断增加的人口，大大减少了水禽的栖息地)”可知，数百万英亩的湿地被抽干用作农地或者修建住房，导致水禽的栖息地减少，水禽数量下降。故选A。
33. 词句猜测题。根据第一段“Native Americans had taken care of these precious natural resources wisely. Unfortunately, it took the explorers and the settlers who followed only a few decades to decimate a large part of these resources.(美洲原住民明智地保护了这些宝贵的自然资源。不幸的是，仅仅几十年的探险家和定居者就decimate这些资源的大部分)”可知，前后句形成转折，前一句陈述美洲原住民保护这些宝贵的自然资源，所以后句表示探险家和定居者破坏了这些自然资源，推测划线单词表示“破坏”，与destroy同义。故选C。
34. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Since 1934, better than half a billion dollars has gone into that Fund to purchase more than 5 million acres of habitat.(自1934年以来，已有超过5亿美元投入该基金，用于购买500多万英亩的栖息地)”可知，自1934年通过法案，政府获得超过5亿美元，已经筹集了很多资金，以购买水禽栖息地。故选D。
35. 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Under this Act, all waterfowl hunters 16 years of age and over must annually purchase and carry a Federal Duck Stamp. (根据该法案，所有16岁及以上的水禽猎人必须每年购买并携带联邦鸭章)”以及第三段“Little wonder the Federal Duck Stamp Program has been called one of the most successful conservation programs ever initiated.(难怪联邦鸭票计划被称为有史以来最成功的保护计划之一)”可知，本文主要讲述了联邦鸭票的故事，所以“联邦鸭票的故事”可以作为文章标题。故选A。
36. C 37. G 38. B 39. E 40. D

参考范文：
The cashier went on with her work and Mom moved next to the woman. She was wondering how to put the extra things into the woman’s cart she’d brought without being noticed. My mom looked up at the cashier and the clever cashier immediately nodded knowingly, winking at my mom and solving the problem by “accidentally” dropping several oranges which flew past the lady. “I’ll get those,” the woman offered kindly to pick up the runaway fruit. I quickly finished our plan as she turned around and bent to pick up the oranges.
When she turned back and was about to leave, she found the extra bag in her cart. She looked at my mom in surprise. “How can I accept this ” she said, handing it to my mother. “It’s nothing. That’s what all of us should do,” my mom replied warmly and firmly. Seeing all this, people around her began to persuade her to take back these items. Finally, with everyone’s help, she took the bag in tears. It was at that moment that I realized we make a living by getting, but we make a life by giving.

Aesha Ash is a ballet dancer who began The Swan Dreams Project in 2011. It is a program designed to bring ballet to girls of color in her community. Aesha Ash is one of the few women of color to ever grace the stages of the School of American Ballet in New York City. She wants to expose her community to more positive images of women of color through the use of ballet. She wants to show the world that beauty and grace are not defined by status or race.
Aesha grew up in the inner city of Rochester, New York, where crime, gun violence and poverty were among the biggest threats to the community. For her, that’s normal. That’s just life in the neighborhood, but what she remembers most is the dance studio. She started dancing at the age of five. A teacher mentioned to her mother that she had some promise in ballet, and that it would be difficult for her, as a woman of color, to enter the ballet world. But the hardship she faced was the very thing that pushed her to pursue a career in ballet.
And there’s so much negative stereotypes (刻板印象) and misunderstanding of who they are in the media. Through the use of imagery and her career as a ballet dancer, she challenges stereotypes that exist for women of color, particularly those from inner-city communities.
“It’s important that our girls see that side of themselves because for many kids it’s hard to be what you can’t see. I hadn’t seen a black ballet dancer before I decided that was what I wanted to be. It was really important for me to be in my environment displaying that because this is where I’m from. It was always beyond ballet,” Aesha Ash stated.
24. Why did Aesha start The Swan Dreams Project
A. To promote the images of females of color by ballet.
B. To expose her community to a world of women of color.
C. To grace the stages of the School of American Ballet.
D. To show the world that beauty and grace are defined by status.
25. Which of the following best describes the community she grew up in
A. Comfortable. B. Ancient. C. Peaceful. D. Unsafe.
26. What can’t we know from the passage
A. Aesha had a gift for ballet according to her teacher.
B. The hardship Aesha faced was the color of her skin.
C. Aesha wanted to be a ballet dancer because of a woman dancer of color.
D. It is not easy to change the stereotypes that exist for women of color.
27. What is the main idea of the text
A. A teacher provides chances for girls of color.
B. A woman brings ballet to the girls of color.
C. Ballet changes the life of a woman of color.
D. A woman has changed the negative stereotypes.
C
Wild animals seem to have escaped the Indian Ocean tsunami, adding weight to the idea that they have a “sixth sense” for disasters, experts said on Thursday.
Sri Lanka wildlife officials have said the waves that killed over 24,000 people along the Indian Ocean island’s coast seemingly missed wild beasts, with no dead animals found.
“No elephants are dead, not even a dead hare or rabbit. I think animals can sense disaster. They have a ‘sixth sense’. They know when things are happening,” H.D. Ratnayake, director of Sri Lanka’s Wildlife. Department, said on Wednesday.
The waves washed floodwaters up to 3 km (2 miles) inland at Yala National Park in the southeast, Sri Lanka’s biggest wildlife reserve and home to hundreds of wild elephants. “There has been a lot of evidence (证据) about dogs barking or birds migrating before volcanic eruptions or earthquakes. But it has not been proved.” said Matthew van Lierop, an animal behavior specialist at Johannesburg Zoo. “There have been no specific studies because you can’t really test it in a lab or field setting,” he said. Other authorities agreed with this conclusion.
“Wildlife seems to be able to pick up certain signs, especially birds. There are many reports of birds detecting coming disasters,” said Clive Walker, who has written several books on African wildlife.
Animals certainly rely on the known senses such as smell or hearing to avoid danger such as predators (掠食动物). The idea of an animal “sixth sense” is a lasting one that the evidence on Sri Lanka’s damaged coast is likely to add to.
28. What happened after the Indian Ocean tsunami
A. Many people died but wild animals survived.
B. The “six sense” of wild animals developed.
C. Wild beasts were killed or went missing.
D. The coast was found in good condition.
29. What does H.D. Ratnayake do
A. He is a zoo keeper. B. He is a wildlife official.
C. He is a movie director. D. He is an animal behavior expert.
30. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “detecting” in paragraph 5
A. Taking up. B. Putting up. C. Picking up. D. Bringing up.
31. What is the text mainly about
A. Animals can save themselves from human activity.
B. Animals’ natural power to escape from danger.
C. How to protect wildlife when disasters happen.
D. The serious damage of the Indian Ocean tsunami.

When the explorers first set foot upon the continent of North America, the skies and lands were alive with an astonishing variety of wildlife. Native Americans had taken care of these precious natural resources wisely. Unfortunately, it took the explorers and the settlers who followed only a few decades to decimate a large part of these resources. Millions of waterfowl (水禽) were killed at the hands of market hunters and a handful of overly ambitious sportsmen. Millions of acres of wetlands were dried to feed and house the ever-increasing populations, greatly reducing waterfowl habitat.
In 1934, with the passage of the Migratory Bird Hunting Stamp Act (Act), an increasingly concerned nation took firm action to stop the destruction of migratory (迁徙的) waterfowl and the wetlands so vital to their survival. Under this Act, all waterfowl hunters 16 years of age and over must annually purchase and carry a Federal Duck Stamp. The very first Federal Duck Stamp was designed by J.N. “Ding” Darling, a political cartoonist from Des Moines, Iowa, who at that time was appointed by President Franklin Roosevelt as Director of the Bureau of Biological Survey. Hunters willingly pay the stamp price to ensure the survival of our natural resources.
About 98 cents of every duck stamp dollar goes directly into the Migratory Bird Conservation Fund to purchase wetlands and wildlife habitat for inclusion into the National Wildlife Refuge System — a fact that ensures this land will be protected and available for all generations to come. Since 1934, better than half a billion dollars has gone into that Fund to purchase more than 5 million acres of habitat. Little wonder the Federal Duck Stamp Program has been called one of the most successful conservation programs ever initiated.
32. What was a cause of the waterfowl population decline in North America
A. Loss of wetlands. B. Popularity of water sports.

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。
As Mom and I stood in line waiting to cash out at the store, I studied the customer in front of us who was reading the magazines to our left. She was young, maybe early twenties, but she already had a tired look with a slight stoop (驼背).
The items in her cart included the cheapest cuts of meat and meal like pasta, rice, and potatoes. Day-old bread, bargain soap, and inexpensive shampoo completed her purchases, well, almost. In the corner sat a toy car and a pretty dress that was 50 percent off. She continued to look at the magazines as we waited, and more people lined up behind us. She turned around and asked Mom for help.
“I’m sorry to bother you,” she began shyly. “But can you tell me how much this is I forgot my glasses at home.”
“Of course,” Mom said.
When Mom finally found the small print and told her, she sighed quietly and put it back.
“They’ve become so expensive, haven’t they ” Mom said in a low voice.
“Next!” The cashier called and she moved forward.
When the store employee finally added up everything and told her the cost, the woman’s face paled. It was obvious that she didn’t have enough money, and she scanned her items to see what she could do without.
One by one, she removed things, but she still came up short. She continued to take much-needed goods out while the cashier patiently deducted (扣除) things with a pleasant smile.
The child’s items remained in the cart, however. In fact, the palm of her other hand lay protectively across them, as if she didn’t want to give in.
The woman finally paid, and moved down to bag them.
When our turn came, Mom pointed to the pile of items the woman had taken out, added all our meat and fresh milk, and whispered “Separate bags, same bill please” to the cashier. She nodded, even though it was a “pack your own” kind of store.
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。
The cashier went on with her work and Mom moved next to the woman. ________________________________

There are many ways to see it—you can hire a car to drive, or go around by motorbike. You can even see the island by boat, but I went on what’s known as the green bus. We started in Nelson, which is in the northwest of the island. Then we headed off down the west coast, stopping at different places and up to our final destination—Christchurch, the second largest city in New Zealand, lying on the east coast. I also went on a day tour to a place called Kaikoura, which is 150 kilometers north of Christchurch. It is famous for its sea life and also for being one of the most exciting places in the world to see ocean birds. I was eager to see my favorite animal—dolphins, and there were whales too. There’re interesting things to buy in the South Island. Nelson Saturday Market is brilliant. There’re all sorts of goods in the market. I got a fantastic wooden mask as a souvenir, bur there were also paintings, jewellery and other things that would have been nice to bring home.

One possible version:
Winter Fun Games
Last Friday, our school succeeded in holding winter fun games, in which over 200 students and teachers participated.
The participants were in high spirits and took an active part in the games, such as tug of war, fancy rope skipping, shuttlecock kicking and running with the ball. The most impressive activity, where five people paced just in one step, demonstrated strength and cooperation.
The games were highly spoken of because they helped to relieve stress and build strong team spirit.

参考范文：
The cashier went on with her work and Mom moved next to the woman. She was wondering how to put the extra things into the woman’s cart she’d brought without being noticed. My mom looked up at the cashier and the clever cashier immediately nodded knowingly, winking at my mom and solving the problem by “accidentally” dropping several oranges which flew past the lady. “I’ll get those,” the woman offered kindly to pick up the runaway fruit. I quickly finished our plan as she turned around and bent to pick up the oranges.
When she turned back and was about to leave, she found the extra bag in her cart. She looked at my mom in surprise. “How can I accept this ” she said, handing it to my mother. “It’s nothing. That’s what all of us should do,” my mom replied warmly and firmly. Seeing all this, people around her began to persuade her to take back these items. Finally, with everyone’s help, she took the bag in tears. It was at that moment that I realized we make a living by getting, but we make a life by giving.
