Surviving Hurricane Sandy(飓风桑迪)
Natalie Doan,14, has always felt lucky to live in Rockaway, New York. Living just a few blocks from the beach, Natalie can see the ocean and hear the wave from her house. ＂It’s the ocean that makes Rockaway so special,＂ she says.
On October 29, 2012, that ocean turned fierce. That night, Hurricane Sandy attacked the East Coast, and Rockaway was hit especially hard. Fortunately, Natalie’s family escaped to Brooklyn shortly before the city’s bridge closed.
When they returned to Rockaway the next day, they found their neighborhood in ruins. Many of Natalie’s friends had lost their homes and were living far away. All around her, people were suffering, especially the elderly. Natalie’s school was so damaged that she had to temporarily attend a school in Brooklyn.
In the following few days, the men and women helping Rockaway recover inspired Natalie. Volunteers came with carloads of donated clothing and toys. Neighbors devoted their spare time to helping others rebuild. Teenagers climbed dozens of flights of stairs to deliver water and food to elderly people trapped in powerless high-rise buildings.
＂My mom tells me that I can’t control what happens to me,＂ Natalie says. ＂but I can always choose how I deal with it.＂
Natalie’s choice was to help.
She created a website page matching survivors in need with donors who wanted to help. Natalie posted introduction about a boy named Patrick, who lost his baseball card collecting when his house burned down. Within days, Patrick’s collection was replaced.
In the coming months, her website page helped lots of kids: Christopher, who received a new basketball; Charlie, who got a new keyboard. Natalie also worked with other organizations to bring much-need supplies to Rockaway. Her efforts made her a famous person. Last April, she was invited to the White House and honored as a Hurricane Sandy Champion of Change.
Today, the scars(创痕)of destruction are still seen in Rockaway, but hope is in the air. The streets are clear, and many homes have been rebuilt. ＂I can’t imagine living anywhere but Rockaway,＂ Natalie declares. ＂My neighborhood will be back, even stronger than before.＂
1. When Natalie returned to Rockaway after the hurricane ,she found______.
A. some friends had lost their lives
B. her neighborhood was destroyed
C. her school had moved to Brooklyn
D. the elderly were free from suffering
2. According to paragraph4,who inspired Natalie most?
A. The people helping Rockaway rebuild
B. The people trapped in high-rise building
C. The volunteers donating money to survivors
D. Local teenagers bringing clothing to elderly people
3. How did Natalie help the survivors?
A. She gave her toys to the kids
B. She took care of younger children
C. She called on the White House to help
D. She built an information sharing platform
4. What does the story intend to tell us?
A. Little people can make a big difference
B. A friend in need is a friend indeed
C. East or West, home is best
D. Technology is power

Giant Panda Is No Longer Endangered
A leading international group has taken the giant panda off its endangered list thanks to decades of conservation efforts, but China’s government is unwilling to accept the change, saying it did not view the status of the country’s beloved symbol as any less serious.
The International Union for Conservation of Nature （IUCN） said in a report that the panda is now classified as a “vulnerable” instead of “endangered” species, reflecting its growing numbers in the wild in southern China.?　 1 　The wild panda population jumped to 1,864 in 2014 from 1,596 in 2004. That is the result of work by Chinese agencies to carry out hunting bans and expand forest reserves.
In a statement, China’s State Forestry Administration said that it doubted the classification change because pandas’ natural habitats have been mainly separated by human causes. The animals live in small, isolated groups of as few as 10 pandas that struggle to reproduce and face the risk of disappearing altogether. If we relax our conservation work, the populations and habitats of giant pandas would still suffer a great loss. ?　 2 　 As a result, our achievements would be quickly lost. Therefore, we’re not being alarmist （危言耸听的）by continuing to emphasize the panda species’ endangered status.
　 3　 Still, other animal protection organizations praised the recovery of the pandas. John Howard, a senior official at World Society for the Protection of Animals, expressed his satisfaction over the effective measures taken by the Chinese government. The Chinese government and the World Wildlife Fund （WWF） first established the Wolong National Nature Reserve in Sichuan province in 1980. Wild panda numbers have since slowly rebounded as China cracked down on the skin trade. 　 4 　 And China gradually expanded its protected forest areas to cover 1.4 million hectares now.
Over the last few decades, international groups and the Chinese government have worked to save wild pandas and breed them in face of their extinction. It is not surprising that the WWF, whose logo has been a panda since 1961, celebrated the panda’s re-classification. 　 5 　 It says that aggressive investment does pay off when science, political will and engagement come together.
A.As a result, our achievements would be quickly lost.
B. The wild panda population jumped to 1,864 in 2014 from 1,596 in 2004.
C. Still, other animal protection organizations praised the recovery of the pandas.
D. Panda has long been a symbol of China and the global conservation movement.
E. And China gradually expanded its protected forest areas to cover 1.4 million hectares now.
F. Some pandas have been sent to zoos around the world as a gesture of Chinese diplomatic goodwill.
G. It says that aggressive investment does pay off when science, political will and engagement come together.
【文章大意】文章介绍一个国际组织将大熊猫从濒危名单上去除，因为数十年的保护努力很有成效，但是中国政府不愿意接受这样的改变。
5.G 根据上文的句子“It is not surprising that the WWF, whose logo has been a panda since 1961, celebrated the panda’s re-classification.”世界自然组织庆祝大熊猫的重新入级。可知，这里是：它说，当科学，政治意愿和参与进来的时候，积极的投资会有回报的。故选G。
