Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
In the middle of the night， a baby chimpanzee （黑猩猩） is having nightmares.Chantal， his caretaker， tries to calm him down.She works at the Tchimpounga Chimpanzee Rehabilitation Center， in the Republic of the Congo， in Africa.The chimp’s name is George.He was taken from his mother by hunters.Finally， he was rescued and taken to the sanctuary （鸟兽保护区）， where Chantal helped him make friends with other chimpanzees.“We rescue chimps from terrible conditions and help them to live in the wild like other chimpanzees，” Chantal said， “They need to learn chimp behavior.”
Chimpanzees meet a lot difficulties because people cut down forest and illegal （非法的） wildlife trade.Their population， numbering in the millions a century ago， could be down to 172，000.This makes the work of the Tchimpounga Sanctuary even more important.
When opening in 1992， Tchimpounga had space for 60 chimpanzees.It has been made larger to the size of a hundred football fields， and is home to around 150 chimps.Many live on islands with thick forest in the Kouilou River.In that environment， the chimps are prepared for a possible return to the wild.The sanctuary also works with the government to reduce illegal trade in animals.Tchimpounga’s head veterinarian （兽医） Rebeca Atencia said， “We have effectively reduced the arrival of orphan （孤儿） chimpanzees to Tchimpounga.We’ve received only one orphan chimp over the past three years.”
The chimps have shown that they understand the sanctuary staff’s efforts.“Saving the life of a chimpanzee is very gratifying，” Atencia says.“Chimpanzees know when you’ve helped them or saved their life.Sometimes， they thank you with a hug.”
As the leader of Jane Goodall Institute （JGI）， Atencia also works with people who live near the sanctuary.These people depend on the forest for food and building houses， and their growing population is a danger to chimps.JGI helps the people in these places get healthcare， clean water， and others.This makes them less dependent on the area’s natural resources and reduces illegal trade in chimps.At present， there are islands within the sanctuary where the chimps can be safe from wild chimpanzees and hunters.And they’re still under the care of the sanctuary staff.
1.What happened to chimps after they were taken to the sanctuary？
A.They got together with their mothers.
B.They were trained to comfort social workers.
C.They were taught how to live a usual life.
D.They were used for scientific experiments.
2.How does Rebeca Atencia probably find the sanctuary’s work？
A.It was dangerous and cost a lot of money at first. B.It has received lots of support.
C.It hardly saves adult chimps. D.It is a success.
3.What does the underlined word “gratifying” in Paragraph 4 mean？
A.Challenging. B.Interesting.
C.Pleasing. D.Tiring.
4.What can be inferred from the last paragraph？
A.Supporting local people is good for chimp protection.
B.More efforts should be made to care for wild chimps.
C.The chimp population in the sanctuary has grown quickly.
D.People near the sanctuary depend on tourists to increase income.
B
Cows produce much methane （甲烷）， the world’s second worst greenhouse gas， as they break down the grass.They are a large source of the greenhouse gases that are driving climate change.Now scientists have shown the pollution from cows can be reduced by adding a little seaweed （海藻） to their food.
The researchers from the University of California studied 21 cows on a farm for about five months.They taught the cows to get their food from inside a special hood， which allowed the scientists to know the amount of the methane the cows were giving off.They used a small amount of seaweed， which they mixed with the cows’ food.
The consequences were surprisingly good.In some cases， the cows produced 82% less methane.The improvement depended on the kind of food the cows were given.Even the worst-polluting cows produced 33% less methane.Over the five months， the scientists didn’t see any signs that the cows’ stomachs were getting used to the seaweed and starting to produce more methane again.What’s more， the cows that were fed seaweed gained just as much weight as the other cows.
But there are still some big problems with the idea of feeding cows seaweed.For one thing， there’s not enough seaweed to feed all of the cows in the world.So farmers would have to figure out a way to grow lots of seaweed.A bigger problem is that for most of their lives， cows live in the fields， where they eat grass.That means there’s no chance to feed them seaweed every day.
Still， as the study shows， something as simple as feeding cows seaweed can help reduce some of the pollution causing the climate crisis.
5.Why did the researchers carry out the study？
A.To improve the cows’ living conditions.
B.To test the effects of the seaweed.
C.To measure the amount of methane produced by cows.
D.To discover healthier grass to reduce the pollution from cows.
6.What’s the third paragraph mainly about？
A.The background of the subjects. B.The process of the research.
C.The content of the experiment. D.The results of the study.
7.What is the biggest challenge in the researchers’ opinion？
A.Seaweed is pretty rare in the world. B.It’s hard to mix seaweed with grass.
C.Cows can hardly have daily access to seaweed. D.Cows fed with seaweed gained weight easily.
8.What is the author’s attitude towards the findings？
A.Doubtful. B.Positive.
C.Unclear. D.Negative.
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Summer is the best time for kids to explore nature. Take advantage of this season to spend as much time in nature as possible with your kids and let them explore it independently.
Be a hummingbird parent.
Different from the helicopter parent who pays extremely close attention to his or her child and always hovers （盘旋） closely overhead， the hummingbird parent steps in only when it is absolutely necessary. 9 They’re there in case something goes wrong， but otherwise they are uninvolved （不参与的） in the child’s play.
10
Clothes can be washed. Bug bites will eventually disappear. 11 Let your kids throw themselves into the natural world with a lack of care and resist （忍住） the potential urge to shout， “Be careful！ Not so high！ Put that down！ Ew， that’s dirty！”
Set a goal for the summer.
Make it a family task to spend as much time outside as possible this summer. 12 Create a list of places in your area where you can visit and check them off. When kids are involved in planning， they’re more eager to participate， and they might have some surprising interests that you don’t even know about！
Have a positive attitude.
13 Instead， consider it a welcome escape for yourself as well. Kids are the best excuse to get away from your desk and the piles of laundry and dishes. Embrace nature and allow its power to work its magic on you， too.
A.Cuts and broken bones heal over time.
B.Encourage full involvement with nature.
C.Take them on hikes and bike rides in faraway places.
D.Sit down with your kids and brainstorm ways of doing so.
E.Children， around age 5 or 6， start to feel a desire for independence.
F.Getting kids close to nature should not be seen as a trouble in any way.
G.In nature， a hummingbird parent hangs back while the child leads the exploration.

As they had not paid the rent for several months， the landlord was breathing down their necks （盯着他们）.
One day， Ali took Zahra’s shoes to a shoe repairman to be fixed， but he lost them on the way home. It wasn’t until he got home that he realized he had lost the shoes. He was afraid that his parents would be angry and disappointed， so he begged his sister to keep it secret. Zahra agreed and the two decided to share Ali’s running shoes. Zahra’s school hours were in the morning， so she would wear them first. After school， she would rush back and give them to Ali. He could then run to his school， which began in the afternoon. Although he ran as fast as he could， Ali often arrived late and was warned by the school.

Ladies and gentlemen， welcome to our giant panda breeding
base.I’d like to introduce this unique species to all of you.
As a symbol of China， the giant panda is a special Chinese
species， mainly living in the mountains of Sichuan， Shaanxi and Gansu
Provinces.They feed mostly on bamboos.They look so cute in appearance
that they are popular among people all over the world.However， they are
in danger of extinction because of the loss of their nature habitat and the
climate change.
In order to protect giant pandas from dying out， we have taken
many practical measures.We believe the number of giant pandas will
greatly increase very soon.
Wish you a good time here.Thanks.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
In the middle of the night， a baby chimpanzee （黑猩猩） is having
nightmares.Chantal， his caretaker， tries to calm him down.She works
at the Tchimpounga Chimpanzee Rehabilitation Center， in the Republic
of the Congo， in Africa.The chimp’s name is George.He was taken
from his mother by hunters.Finally， he was rescued and taken to the
sanctuary （鸟兽保护区）， where Chantal helped him make friends
with other chimpanzees.“We rescue chimps from terrible conditions and
help them to live in the wild like other chimpanzees，” Chantal said，
“They need to learn chimp behavior.”
Chimpanzees meet a lot difficulties because people cut down forest
and illegal （非法的） wildlife trade.Their population， numbering in
the millions a century ago， could be down to 172，000.This makes the
work of the Tchimpounga Sanctuary even more important.
When opening in 1992， Tchimpounga had space for 60
chimpanzees.It has been made larger to the size of a hundred football
fields， and is home to around 150 chimps.Many live on islands with
thick forest in the Kouilou River.In that environment， the chimps are
prepared for a possible return to the wild.The sanctuary also works with
the government to reduce illegal trade in animals.Tchimpounga’s head veterinarian （兽医） Rebeca Atencia said， “We have effectively
reduced the arrival of orphan （孤儿） chimpanzees to Tchimpounga.
We’ve received only one orphan chimp over the past three years.”
The chimps have shown that they understand the sanctuary staff’s
efforts.“Saving the life of a chimpanzee is very gratifying，” Atencia
says.“Chimpanzees know when you’ve helped them or saved their
life.Sometimes， they thank you with a hug.”
As the leader of Jane Goodall Institute （JGI）， Atencia also works
with people who live near the sanctuary.These people depend on the forest
for food and building houses， and their growing population is a danger to
chimps.JGI helps the people in these places get healthcare， clean
water， and others.This makes them less dependent on the area’s natural
resources and reduces illegal trade in chimps.At present， there are
islands within the sanctuary where the chimps can be safe from wild
chimpanzees and hunters.And they’re still under the care of the
sanctuary staff.

Cows produce much methane （甲烷）， the world’s second worst
greenhouse gas， as they break down the grass.They are a large source of
the greenhouse gases that are driving climate change.Now scientists have
shown the pollution from cows can be reduced by adding a little seaweed
（海藻） to their food.
The researchers from the University of California studied 21 cows on
a farm for about five months.They taught the cows to get their food from
inside a special hood， which allowed the scientists to know the amount of
the methane the cows were giving off.They used a small amount of
seaweed， which they mixed with the cows’ food.
The consequences were surprisingly good.In some cases， the cows
produced 82% less methane.The improvement depended on the kind of
food the cows were given.Even the worst-polluting cows produced 33%
less methane.Over the five months， the scientists didn’t see any signs
that the cows’ stomachs were getting used to the seaweed and starting to
produce more methane again.What’s more， the cows that were fed
seaweed gained just as much weight as the other cows.
But there are still some big problems with the idea of feeding cows
seaweed.For one thing， there’s not enough seaweed to feed all of the
cows in the world.So farmers would have to figure out a way to grow lots
of seaweed.A bigger problem is that for most of their lives， cows live in
the fields， where they eat grass.That means there’s no chance to feed
them seaweed every day.
Still， as the study shows， something as simple as feeding cows
seaweed can help reduce some of the pollution causing the climate crisis.

otherwise they are uninvolved （不参与的） in the child’s play.
10
Clothes can be washed. Bug bites will eventually disappear. 11
Let your kids throw themselves into the natural world with a lack of care
and resist （忍住） the potential urge to shout， “Be careful！ Not so
high！ Put that down！ Ew， that’s dirty！”
Set a goal for the summer.
Make it a family task to spend as much time outside as possible this
summer. 12 Create a list of places in your area where you can visit
and check them off. When kids are involved in planning， they’re more
eager to participate， and they might have some surprising interests that
you don’t even know about！

Ali and his younger sister， Zahra， lived with their parents in a poor
neighborhood. Their mother was very sick and their father was struggling
to find a job， and they had only a little money with which to buy food.
As they had not paid the rent for several months， the landlord was
breathing down their necks （盯着他们）.
One day， Ali took Zahra’s shoes to a shoe repairman to be fixed，
but he lost them on the way home. It wasn’t until he got home that he
realized he had lost the shoes. He was afraid that his parents would be
angry and disappointed， so he begged his sister to keep it secret. Zahra
agreed and the two decided to share Ali’s running shoes. Zahra’s
school hours were in the morning， so she would wear them first. After
school， she would rush back and give them to Ali. He could then run to
his school， which began in the afternoon. Although he ran as fast as he
could， Ali often arrived late and was warned by the school.
Ali heard about a long distance race that was held for the boys in the
city. When he learned that the third prize was a new pair of shoes， he
decided to take part. He ran home excitedly and promised his sister that he would win her the new shoes.
The day of race arrived. Ali had a strong start， but halfway through
the race he began to get tired and his legs began to ache.

him.Catching up with one boy， he felt a sense of achievement.He
gathered all his strength and the finishing line was within a stone’s
throw.However， without any warning he fell over， unconscious.
When Ali came to life， he was already at home.Opening his eyes，
he eyed Zahra sitting beside his bed， concerned and anxious.A big smile
spread across her face.“You did it， my dear brother.”She yelled as she
waved a pair of new shoes high in the air.Only then did Ali realize that he
won the third prize.Ali and his sister kissed the prized shoes over and over
again， grinning from ear to ear.The whole room was filled with warmth
with a ray of golden sunshine shining through.
