Sixty years ago，a 13-year-old boy saw a beautiful hairpin(发卡) in a shop window which set his heart racing．But the price—five dollars—was too high for Jack．Five dollars would buy almost a week's food for his family．
Jack couldn't ask his father for the money．Everything his father made through fishing went to his mother，Dora．Slim and beautiful，she was the center of the home and struggled to feed and clothe their five children．
Nevertheless，he opened the shop's door and went inside．He told the shopkeeper what he wanted，adding，“But I don't have the money right now．Can you hold it for me for some time？”
“I'll try，” the shopkeeper smiled．“People around here don't usually have that kind of money on such things．It should be kept for a while．”
Jack would raise money to buy the hairpin for his mother．Just then Jack suddenly had an idea that he could raise money by selling the used nail bags．As sometimes the used bags were thrown away at the construction site，Jack knew he could sell them back to the factory for five cents a piece．
That day he sold two nail bags and hid the money in a rusty soda tin．
Exhausted and tired as he felt，he still stuck to the plan．It was the hairpin in the shop window that reminded him that what he did was worthwhile．After a long time of hard work，he made it eventually．
Finally the time came！____________________________________________

课时分层作业(十五)
Ⅰ．阅读理解
A
I work with Volunteers for Wildlife，a rescue and education organisation at Bailey Arboretum in Locust Valley．Trying to help injured，displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain．However，when it works，it is simply beautiful．
I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown．She had found a young owl(猫头鹰) on the ground．When I arrived，I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl．It had already been placed in a carrier for safety．
I examined the chick(雏鸟) and it seemed fine．If I could locate the nest，I might have been able to put it back，but no luck．My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree．
The homeowner was very helpful．A wire basket was found．I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable．I placed the chick in the nest，and it quickly calmed down．
Now all that was needed was the parents，but they were absent．I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks．These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well．I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring．
A nervous night to be sure，but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recording．I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active．And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all—LUNCH! The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so．
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了作者救助了一只小猫头鹰，给它做新的窝，帮助它回到父母身边的故事。
1．What is unavoidable in the author's rescue work according to paragraph 1
A．Efforts made in vain．
B．Getting injured in his work．
C．Feeling uncertain about his future．
D．Creatures forced out of their homes．
A [细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“Trying to help injured，...certain．”可知，救助受伤动物是会令人心碎的，因为不知道救助的动物是否能活下去，也就是说为救助动物而花费的努力可能会白费，这是不可避免的。故选A。]
2．Why was the author called to Muttontown
A．To rescue a woman．
B．To take care of a woman．
C．To look at a baby owl．
D．To cure a young owl．
C [细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“She had found a young owl on the ground”可知，有人给作者打电话是因为有只小猫头鹰掉在地上了，作者赶过去查看情况。故选C。]
3．What made the chick calm down
A．A new nest． B．Some food．
C．A recording． D．Its parents．
A [推理判断题。根据文章第四段中的“I placed the chick in the nest，and it quickly calmed down．”可知，在作者把小猫头鹰放在窝里之后，它很快就平静下来，所以是新搭建的窝让小猫头鹰平静下来的。故选A。]
4．How would the author feel about the outcome of the event
A．It's unexpected． B．It's beautiful．
C．It's humourous． D．It's discouraging．
B [推理判断题。根据前文的描述可知，作者为小猫头鹰做了窝，并且帮助它找回了它的父母。小猫头鹰的父母还为它带回了午餐。作者的救助成功了，说明结局是美好的。再结合第一段中的“However，when it works，it is simply beautiful．”可推测，作者对这件事的结果感到很美好。故选B。]
B
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 behaviour 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 the 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．
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了动物可以感知灾难，它们有“第六感”，并给出了人们对此持有的不同的观点。
5．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．
A [细节理解题。根据第二段内容“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．”可知，印度洋海啸之后许多人死了，但野生动物幸存了下来。故选A。]
6．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 behaviour expert．
B [细节理解题。根据第三段的“‘...They know when things are happening，’ H．D．Ratnayake，director of Sri Lanka's Wildlife Department，said on Wednesday．”可知，H．D．Ratnayake是野生动物部门的一名官员。故选B。]
7．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．
C [词义猜测题。根据画线词的上文“Wildlife seems to be able to pick up certain signs，especially birds．”可推测下文指的是有许多关于鸟类发现即将到来的灾难的报道，故detecting意为“发现”，和上文的“pick up”同义。故选C。]
8．What is the text mainly about
A．Why animals can save themselves from natural disasters．
B．The different opinions about animals' natural power．
C．How to protect wildlife when disasters happen．
D．The serious damage of the Indian Ocean tsunami．
B [主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段可知，文章主要介绍了动物可以感知灾难，它们有“第六感”，并给出了人们对此持有的不同的观点。故选B。]
Ⅱ．应用文写作
假定你班下周将举办主题为“Protect Wildlife”的英文主题班会，请你用英文拟写一份发言稿，内容包括：
1．野生动物的现状；
2．保护野生动物的意义；

Hello，everyone! I'd like to share my views on protecting wildlife．
The number of many wild animals is declining because they are hunted illegally and their habitats are destroyed．
Actually，living on the planet，all of us are responsible for protecting wild animals．That's because saving animals is saving ourselves．Therefore，some measures should be taken．For example，more nature reserves should be set up to keep them safe and more laws should be made．Only when these measures work can the planet be a better place to live on．
That's all，thank you！(共26张PPT)
