A
A
small
town
in
southwest
Britain
is
banning
plastic
bags
in
an
attempt
to
help
the
environment
and
cut
waste—a
step
that
environmentalists
believe
is
a
first
for
Europe.
Shopkeepers
in
Modbury,
population
1,500,
agreed
to
stop
handing
out
disposable
plastic
bags
to
customers
on
Saturday.
They
said
paper
sacks
and
cloth
carrier
bags
would
be
offered
instead.
Last
month,
San
Francisco
became
the
first
U.
S.
city
to
ban
plastic
grocery
bags.
Internationally,
laws
to
discourage
the
use
of
plastic
bags
have
been
passed
in
parts
of
South
Africa
and
Ireland,
where
governments
either
tax
shoppers
who
use
them
or
fine
companies
that
hand
them
out.
Bangladesh
already
bans
them,
and
so
do
at
least
30
remote
Alaskan
villages.
Modbury,
about
225
miles
southwest
of
London,
has
also
declared
a
bag
amnesty(宽限期),
allowing
local
people
to
hand
in
plastic
bags
that
have
piled
up
at
home.
They
will
be
sent
for
recycling.
The
Modbury
ban
was
the
idea
of
Rebecca
Hosking,
who
saw
the
effect
of
bags
on
marine
life
while
working
in
the
Pacific
as
a
wildlife
camerawoman.
She
said
response(反应)
in
the
town
so
far
had
been
“really
positive”.
“Modbury
is
quite
an
old-fashioned
town
and
a
lot
of
people
have
wicker
baskets
to
go
out
shopping
anyway,”
Hosking
told
Sky
News
Television.
The
Worldwatch
Institute,
an
environment
research
agency,
states
that
100
billion
plastic
bags
are
thrown
away
each
year
in
the
United
States
alone.
More
than
500
are
used
yearly
around
the
world.

B
Off
the
coast
of
Tanzania
lies
the
exotic
island
of
Zanzibar.
This
amazing
place
is
home
to
beautiful
old
houses,
leafy
forests
and
white
sandy
beaches.
Some
friends
and
I
had
the
adventure
of
a
lifetime
there
last
year.
We
took
a
two-hour
ferry
ride
from
Dares
Salaam,
Tanzania,
to
Stone
Town.
After
scouting
around
for
a
hotel,
we
chose
a
simple
one
with
clean
rooms
and
a
rooftop
restaurant.
Then
we
hired
a
guide
and
headed
to
Zanzibar’s
famous
spice
farms.
?
Tourism
and
spices
are
the
island’s
biggest
industries.
Many
spices
are
tropical
and
grow
on
trees
and
vines.
It
was
like
walking
through
a
forest.
The
next
day
we
went
to
a
beach
on
a
small
island
nearby.
We
snorkeled,
played
Frisbee
and
ate
fresh
seafood
on
the
beach!
The
third
day
we
decided
to
go
and
stay
at
a
beach
called
Paje.
Our
hotel
was
right
on
the
beach,
and
the
floors
in
our
rooms
were
the
sand!
We
swam,
read
and
danced
to
African
music.
The
warm,
shallow
water
makes
kite
surfing
very
popular
there.
Very
early
on
the
morning
of
the
fifth
day,
we
journeyed
to
the
island’s
southern
tip.
There
we
met
a
fisherman,
who,
when
he
saw
us,
said,
“Are
you
ready
to
swim
with
dolphins?”
Dolphins!
He
told
us
the
dolphins
came
every
morning
to
eat
and
play.
So
we
rode
out
and
waited
in
the
boat
until
we
saw
a
dolphin
fin.
The
fisherman
drove
the
boat
near
the
dolphins
and
urged
us
to
jump
in.
So
we
did!
The
dolphins
were
shy,
but
we
could
hear
them
talking
to
each
other.
Eventually
they
swam
closer.
One
came
so
close
I
could
have
to
touch
it!
We
returned
to
Stone
Town,
and
my
friends
left,
I
stayed
longer
to
explore
Stone
Town’s
big
old
houses.
Hundreds
of
years
ago,
the
city
had
been
a
huge
trading
port
for
slaves
and
ivory.
All
shipments
going
east
to
the
Indian
Ocean
stopped
in
Stone
Town.
At
that
time,
the
city
was
rich,
and
wealthy
people
built
big
houses
with
beautiful
doors.
But
then
it
became
illegal
to
trade
slaves
and
ivory.
I
also
visited
a
museum
in
Stone
Town
that
used
to
be
the
royal
palace.
I
learned
how
Zanzibar
had
been
influenced
by
the
Kingdom
of
Oman
until
the
1960s.
That
is
why
the
people
look
like
they
are
from
North
Africa.
【语篇概述】这是一篇游记,记录了作者在Zanzibar几天的经历,体验了当地的民情,了解了Stone
Town
的一些历史。

【解析】选A。词义猜测题。根据第二段we
chose
a
simple
one

clean
rooms
and
a
rooftop
restaurant.

阅读填句
Winter
is
often
quite
cold,
which
often
makes
us
stay
indoors
more
instead
of
heading
out
to
exercise.
Worse
still,
there
are
many
viruses(病毒)
doing
their
best
to
make
you
sick.
And
sneezing,
coughing
and
nose
blowing
make
the
rooms
a
habitat
for
viruses.
1 .
Touching
a
doorknob
or
shaking
a
hand
may
make
you
get
sick.
Although
it
may
sound
terrible,
there
are
still
some
things
you
can
do
to
avoid
viruses.
Here
are
several
simple
tips(建议)
to
stay
healthy
in
winters.
?
Wash
your
hands
You
pick
up
viruses
everywhere
and
they
live
on
your
hands,
so
wash
your
hands
and
do
it
often.
2 .
But
if
that’s
not
available,
use
an
alcohol-based
hand
sanitizer
(消毒杀菌剂).
?
3 ?
Avoid
touching
your
eyes,
nose
and
mouth
with
your
hands.
That’s
a
way
viruses
can
get
into
your
body.
Get
the
flu
shot
(疫苗)
4 ,
but
getting
the
flu
shot
lowers
your
chances
of
getting
the
flu.
For
example,
getting
the
flu
shot
last
year
resulted
in
a
34%
lower
risk
of
coming
down
with
the
flu.
?
Avoid
sick
people
5 .
Viruses
spread
very
easily
through
the
air,
so
keep
at
least
six
feet
between
you
and
the
sneezing,
sniffling
and
coughing
person.
?
A.
It’s
no
guarantee(保证)
B.
Take
care
of
your
face
C.
Keep
your
hands
away
from
your
face
D.
The
best
way
is
to
use
regular
soap
and
water
E.
It
is
easy
for
viruses
to
spread
from
person
to
person
F.
If
someone
around
you
is
sick,
then
keep
your
distance
G.
Because
there
are
always
some
unexpected
things
in
life
【语篇概述】这是一篇说明文。冬天常常非常冷,这使得我们更多地待在室内而不是出去锻炼。而打喷嚏、咳嗽和擤鼻涕使这些房间成为病毒的栖息地。文章就此提出了一些在冬天保持健康的简单建议。
1.
【解析】选E。根据下文“Touching
a
doorknob
or
shaking
a
hand
may
make
you
get
sick.
”触碰门把手或握手都有可能使你生病,可知病毒在人与人之间很容易传播。
2.
【解析】选D。根据上文“so
wash
your
hands
and
do
it
often.
”可知强调要多洗手,故下文应为说明如何洗手,可对应到D选项“最好的方法是经常用肥皂水(洗手)”。
3.
【解析】选C。根据下文“Avoid
touching
your
eyes,nose
and
mouth
with
your
hands.
”避免用手触摸眼睛、鼻子和嘴巴。可知眼睛、鼻子和嘴巴都是脸上的器官,因此本句应为“将手远离你的脸”。
4.
【解析】选A。根据下文“but
getting
the
flu
shot
lowers
your
chances
of
getting
the
flu.
”可知注射流感疫苗会降低患流感的几率,故可推知注射疫苗并不能保证不被传染。
5.
【解析】选F。根据下文“Viruses
spread
very
easily
through
the
air,so
keep
at
least
six
feet
between
you
and
the
sneezing,sniffling
and
coughing
person.
”病毒很容易在空气中传播,所以你和打喷嚏,抽鼻子,咳嗽的人之间至少要保持6英尺的距离,可知本段强调要和周围生病的人保持距离。
【素养培优】

前面的阅读填句中提到了冬季防流感的一些方法。现如今,新冠病毒(2019-nCoV)全球肆虐,作为学生,我们该怎么做才能为病毒防控做出贡献呢?请说说你的看法,60个词左右。
【参考范文】
The
2019-nCoV
is
affecting
the
world
recently.
As
students,
firstly,we
should
learn
some
scientific
knowledge
about
the
virus.
Secondly,do
individual
protection
as
carefully
as
possible,
like
wearing
masks
and
washing
hands.
Besides,avoid
going
to
some
crowded
places
like
hospitals
and
malls.
At
last,follow
the
arrangements
of
our
school
and
check
the
temperature
on
time
every
day.

A
newly
discovered
lizard(蜥蜴)found
in
the
Philippines
has
made
scientists
think
there
might
be
other
never-before-seen
creatures
on
that
country’s
islands.
But
scientists
say
those
creatures
might
never
be
found
because
the
islands’
rain
forests
are
in
danger.
The
latest
lizard
was
first
spotted
in
2001
when
scientists
saw
local
people
of
the
island
catch
it
for
food.
Scientists
took
some
pictures
of
the
lizard.
Finally,
scientists
caught
a
lizard
themselves
to
study.
They
named
the
new
lizard
the
Northern
Sierra
Madre
forest
monitor
because
it
was
discovered
in
the
islands’
Sierra
Madre
Mountains.
The
6.
6-foot-long
lizard
has
bright
yellow
markings
that
distinguish(区分)it
from
more
boring-looking
monitors.
Its
legs
are
mainly
yellow,
and
its
tail
is
black
and
yellow.
So
how
could
scientists
work
in
the
Philippines’
rain
forests
for
years
without
finding
the
new
lizard?
They
say
the
Northern
Sierra
Madre
forest
monitor
is
unlike
other
lizards
and
their
larger
cousin,
the
Komodo
dragon.
All
of
those
lizards
are
meat-eaters.
But
the
new-found
lizard
eats
fruit.
That
means
it
never
has
to
come
down
out
of
the
trees.
Its
uniquely
colored
skin,
quiet
manner,
and
treetop
home
helped
it
remain
hidden
from
scientists’
view
for
many
years.
The
discovery
of
the
Northern
Sierra
Madre
forest
monitor
is
making
scientists
realize
that
Philippines’
rain
forests
may
hold
many
undiscovered
species.
But
those
species
will
not
be
found
if
the
rain
forests
keep
disappearing.
Twenty
years
ago,
forests
covered
about
35
percent
of
the
Philippines’
land.
But
people
have
been
encroaching
on
that
land
and
building
on
it.
Today,
forests
cover
less
than
25
percent
of
the
country’s
land.
?
The
rain
forests
are
a
“conservation(保护)hot
spot”
that
need
to
be
protected,
scientists
say.
“I
hope
we
can
make
the
new
lizard
a
‘poster
child’
for
conservation
of
the
land,”
said
one
scientist.
【语篇概述】科学家在菲律宾发现了一种植食性蜥蜴,引起了人们对保护热带雨林的关注。
1.
What
is
the
scientists’
attitude
to
finding
more
new
creatures
in
Philippines’
rain
forests?
A.
Interested.
B.
Doubtful.
C.
Excited.
D.
Supportive.
【解析】选B。推理判断题。根据第一段“But
scientists
say
those
creatures
might
never
be
found
because
the
islands’
rain
forests
are
in
danger.
”和倒数第二段“But
those
species
will
not
be
found
if
the
rain
forests
keep
disappearing.
”可知,科学家对此持怀疑态度。
2.
How
did
scientists
discover
the
new
lizard?
A.
They
caught
one
with
the
help
of
locals.
B.
The
locals
gave
one
to
scientists
as
a
gift.
C.
They
found
it
from
pictures
taken
by
locals.
D.
They
noticed
it
when
locals
hunted
the
lizard.
【解析】选D。细节理解题。根据第二段第一句话可知。
3.
What
is
special
about
the
new-found
lizard
according
to
Paragraph
3?
A.
It
is
a
cruel
meat-eater.
B.
It
is
the
largest
lizard
in
Asia.
C.
It
spends
most
time
in
trees.
D.
It
looks
like
Komodo
dragon.
【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据第三段最后两句话可知,这种蜥蜴是植食性的,一直生活在树上。
4.
What
does
the
underlined
phrase
“encroaching
on”
mean?
A.
Invading.
B.
Protecting.
C.
Maintaining.
D.
Deserting.
【解析】选A。词义猜测题。根据句子后面的“and
building
on
it”可知,此处指人们一直在侵入动物的生存空间。

I
learn
that
a
true
friend
is
the
most
important
in
my
life
after
I
had
gone
through
so
many
terrible
things.
I
felt
1
when
I
was
told
that
I
would
have
to
leave
the
company.
As
I
had
a
very
big
family
to
support
and
was
in
great
2
of
money,
what
I
was
greatly
concerned
about
was
how
to
find
a
new
3 .
In
order
to
work
4
this
problem,
I
rushed
from
place
to
place
like
crazy.
I
read
almost
all
the
newspapers
and
5
down
almost
all
the
telephone
numbers
in
the
ads
in
my
notebook
and
tried
to
6
almost
all
the
companies
that
needed
new
employees.
It
was
not
until
I
7
a
job
in
a
small
town
near
Townsville
that
I
calmed
down.
My
new
boss,
Mr
John
Brown,
was
one
of
my
8
who
I
was
getting
along
well
with
at
high
school.
“Why
didn’t
you
contact
with
me
9 ?
In
that
case,
I
could
have
given
you
much
help
in
time.
”
He
said,
passing
me
a
cup
of
coffee.
Both
of
us
were
10
to
see
each
other
because
we
hadn’t
seen
each
other
since
graduation.
We
11
the
whole
afternoon
talking
about
things
and
people
that
we
remembered
at
school.
John
asked
me
to
give
him
some
12
on
how
to
enlarge
his
present
business
and
he
was
pleased
with
my
good
suggestions.
He
13
me
a
job
which
didn’t
need
much
experience
because
I
was
not
familiar
with
this
field,
14
the
salary
I
got
was
much
more
than
expected.
I
cried
the
first
time
I
saw
the
amount
of
money
given
by
the
company
—
that
was
the
first
time
for
me

BRAZIL—The
newly-elected
president
of
Brazil,Jair
Bolsonaro
says
that
his
country
should
withdraw(退出)
from
the
2015
Paris
Agreement,and
that
Brazil’s
rainforest
protections
are
standing
in
the
way
of
economic
success.
During
the
election
campaign,he
promised
to
ease(减缓)
protections
for
areas
of
the
Brazilian
Amazon
set
aside
for
native
people
and
wildlife.
Are
Brazil’s
rainforests
in
danger?
The
Amazon,the
world’s
largest
rainforest,is
called
“the
lungs
of
the
planet”.
Each
tree
takes
in
and
stores
carbon
dioxide
from
the
air
around
it.
Billions
of
trees
pull
up
water
through
their
roots
and
release
water
vapor
into
the
air,forming
tiny
drops
of
water.
The
Amazon
creates
30
to
50
percent
of
its
own
rainfall.
Carlos
Nobre,a
climate
scientist,says
that
it
is
almost
impossible
to
say
just
how
important
the
rainforest
is
to
the
planet’s
living
systems.
Some
of
Bolsonaro’s
support
comes
from
business
and
farming
groups.
One
supporter,Luiz
Carlos,noted
that
farmers
“are
not
invaders,they
are
producers”.
He
blamed(责备)
the
past
government
for
supporting
rainforest
protections
at
the
cost
of
farmers.
“Brazil,
”
he
said,
“will
be
the
biggest
farming
nation
on
Earth
during
Bolsonaro’s
years.
”
Paulo
Artaxo,
a
professor
of
environmental
physics
at
the
University
of
Sao
Paulo,
says
that
if
Bolsonaro
keeps
his
campaign
promises,
then
“deforestation(毁林)
of
the
Amazon
will
probably
increase
quickly—and
the
effects
will
be
felt
everywhere
on
the
planet.
”
Other
scientists
warn
that
if
the
Amazon
and
other
tropical
rainforests
lose
too
many
trees,
this
could
affect
rainfall
in
other
areas.
Without
enough
trees
to
support
the
rainfall,the
longer
and
bigger
dry
season
could
turn
more
than
half
of
the
rainforest
into
a
tropical
grassland.

A
23-year-old
British
woman
has
invented
a
product
she
hopes
will
one
day
replace
single-use
plastic.
The
new
product
is
made
by
combining
fishing
waste
and
algae
(水藻).
It
could
be
used
to
replace
plastic
bags
or
containers
that
people
use
once
and
throw
away.
Lucy
Hughes
created
the
material,
called
MarinaTex,
for
her
final
year
project
at
the
University.
MarinaTex
is
edible,
to
put
it
in
another
way,
it
can
be
tasted
without
danger.
Hughes
says
it
is
also
strong
and
stable.
But
unlike
plastic,
MarinaTex
biodegrades
(生物降解)in
four
to
six
weeks
under
normal
conditions
and
does
not
pollute
the
soil.
The
inventor
said
she
is
concerned
about
the
growing
amount
of
plastic
in
ocean
waters.
She
noted
one
report
that
there
would
be
more
plastic
than
fish
in
the
world’s
oceans
by
the
year
2050.
The
United
Nations
estimates
that
100
million
tons
of
plastic
waste
has
already
been
left
in
the
oceans.
Hughes
also
was
investigating
ways
to
reduce
the
amount
of
waste
from
the
fishing
industry.
The
industry
produces
an
estimated
50
million
tons
of
waste
worldwide
each
year,
UN
officials
say.
Examining
fish
parts
left
over
from
processing
helped
to
give
her
the
idea
for
a
material
that
was
useful
and
did
no
harm
to
the
environment.
“Why
do
we
need
to
have
hundreds
of
man-made
polymers
(聚合体)when
nature
has
so
many
already
available?”
she
asked.
After
months
of
testing,
Hughes
produced
a
strong,
flexible
sheet
that
forms
at
temperatures
below
100
degrees
Celsius.
Inventor
James
Dyson
said
that
MarinaTex
is
stronger,
safer
and
much
more
sustainable
(可持续的)than
plastic.
It
is
also
easier
to
break
down.
Hughes
will
receive
about
$
41,000
prize
money
as
the
first-place
winner
of
the
James
Dyson
Award.
She
plans
to
use
the
money
to
further
develop
the
product
and
ways
to
mass
produce
it.
“Further
research
and
development
will
ensure
that
MarinaTex
evolves
further,
and
becomes
part
of
a
global
answer
to
the
abundance
of
single-use
plastic
waste,”
Dyson
said.

Some
scientists
believe
that
one
of
the
most
intelligent
beings
on
Earth
is
in
fact
the
octopus
(章鱼).
Octopuses
usually
live
at
the
bottom
of
river
mouths
and
seas-areas
which
are
not
attractive
to
researchers.
They
are
not
social
animals
so
it
can
be
hard
to
study
their
interaction
with
others.
And
the
octopus’
intelligence
is
not
easy
for
humans
to
understand.
When
we
observe
some
animals
such
as
rats
or
dogs,
we
can
often
understand
their
behavior.
Octopuses,however
can
seem
like
aliens
(外星人).
Scientists
need
to
have
a
lot
of
imagination
to
understand
what
an
octopus
is
thinking!
In
the
1950s,
the
US
Air
Force
sponsored
scientists
to
study
the
way
octopuses
use
their
brains.
They
hoped
that
they
could
use
this
knowledge
to
help
them
build
better
computers.
However,
their
brains
were
so
complex
that
the
scientists
felt
it
of
no
significance
to
continue
with
it.
Octopuses
have
a
very
complex
nervous
system
and
recent
research
suggests
that
they
have
some
of
their
intelligence
inside
each
arm,
which
means
that
each
arm
can
“think”
for
itself.
It
also
appears
that
they
have
a
good
memory,
perhaps
similar
to
a
cat’s.
Perhaps
the
most
striking
thing
about
octopuses
is
their
ability
to
change
their
color
and
body
pattern.
They
do
this
to
camouflage
themselves
to
avoid
their
enemies
and
also
to
communicate
with
others.
They
can
completely
change
their
appearance
in
less
than
a
second.
It
can
change
its
skin
to
look
like
rocks,
sand
or
plankton
(浮游生物).
Some
scientists
have
even
suggested
that
these
different
patterns
and
colors
are
in
fact
a
very
hard
language
and
that
each
design
is
a
different
verb,adjective
or
noun.
But
nobody
has
been
able
to
work
out
what
they
might
be
saying.
There’s
a
long
way
to
go
to
get
to
know
the
octopus
completely.
【语篇概述】这是一篇说明文。一些科学家认为,地球上最聪明的生物之一就是章鱼。到目前为止,人们对章鱼也是知之甚少。
5.
What
can
we
infer
about
the
octopus’
intelligence
from
Paragraph
2?
A.
It
does
not
attract
scientists.
B.
Little
has
been
known
about
it.
C.
It
is
equal
to
the
cat’s
or
dog’s.
D.
Much
has
been
done
about
it.
【解析】选B。推理判断题。第二段谈到:
章鱼通常生活在河口和海洋的底部,这些地方对研究人员没有吸引力。它们不是群居动物,因此很难研究它们与其他动物的互动。而且章鱼的智力也不容易被人类理解。章鱼看起来像外星人。科学家需要有丰富的想象力才能理解章鱼在想什么!由这些可推知,人们对章鱼的了解很少。
6.
What
can
we
say
about
scientists’
study
on
the
octopus
in
the
1950s?
A.
They
had
to
give
it
up
eventually.
B.
They
used
computers
to
help.
C.
They
found
its
arms
could
think.
D.
They
judged
it
lived
like
a
cat.
【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据第三段“However,
their
brains
were
so
complex
that
the
scientists
felt
it
of
no
significance
to
continue
with
it.
”信息可知,科学家发现章鱼的大脑是如此复杂,他们觉得继续研究下去是没有用的。由此可知他们最终放弃了研究。
7.
What
does
the
underlined
word
“camouflage”
in
Paragraph
4
probably
mean?
A.
Relax.
B.
Strengthen.
C.
Hide.
D.
Express.
【解析】选C。词义猜测题。本句前面谈到:
章鱼最惊人的地方在于它们改变颜色和身体形态的能力;由本句后面的“to
avoid
their
enemies(以逃避敌人)”可知,它们这样做是为了伪装自己以躲避敌人。
8.
What
does
the
author
think
of
the
octopuses?
A.
They
are
the
smartest
animals.
B.
They’re
easy
to
be
seen
in
the
sea.
C.
It
is
useful
to
copy
their
language.
D.
It
is
difficult
to
understand
them.
【解析】选D。细节理解题。最后一段作者谈到
“There’s
a
long
way
to
go
to
get
to
know
the
octopus
completely.
(完全了解章鱼还有很长的路要走)”,可知作者认为要了解章鱼不容易。

In
the
shadow
of
Kenya’s
Mount
Kilimanjaro,
nine
Rothschild
giraffes,
the
rarest
giraffes
on
the
planet,
are
free
to
wander
at
the
English-style
manor
(庄园).
Every
day
shortly
before
9
am,
they
come
up
to
the
house
and
stick
their
heads
through
the
windows
and
doors
in
search
of
morning
treats.
The
manor’s
owners,
Tanya
and
Mikey
Carr-Hartley,
share
their
dining
table
with
them.
And
now
the
couple
are
sharing
the
fantastic
experience
with
the
public
by
opening
the
manor
gates
to
guests
at
the
giraffe
hotel,
the
only
hotel
of
its
kind
in
the
world.
Now,
guests
can
not
only
feed
the
giraffes
at
breakfast
but
also
get
up
close
to
them
from
their
second-floor
bedrooms.
Mr
and
Mrs
Carr-Hartley,both
38,
spent
their
childhood
living
close
to
the
house
in
Nairobi
and
have
always
been
enthusiastic
about
the
animals.
Tanya
said,
“Mikey
and
I
grew
up
near
this
manor
house
when
we
were
children.
We
are
both
third
generation
Kenyans
and
have
always
wanted
to
work
in
conservation.
Mikey’s
family
have
been
related
to
the
protection
of
animals
for
many
generations.
His
granddad
helped
the
removal
of
giraffes
as
far
back
as
the
1930s
because
the
Rothschild
giraffes
lost
much
of
their
natural
living
space.
When
the
house
came
up
for
sale,
we
jumped
at
the
chance
to
buy
it
as
we
had
always
dreamed
of
owning
it.
Now,
we
were
absolutely
overjoyed
to
do
something
for
the
giraffe
protection.
Having
the
giraffes
so
close
is
very
special
and
something
which
people
can
now
experience
by
staying
in
one
of
the
ten
rooms
at
the
hotel.
”
A
conservation
project
to
save
them
was
started
at
the
manor
in
1974
by
the
previous
owners.
“The
previous
owners
ran
a
very
successful
breeding
(繁殖)
programme,
where
many
giraffes
were
set
free
into
the
wild
and
we
hope
to
continue,”
said
Tanya.
【语篇概述】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了位于肯尼亚内罗毕附近的一座英式庄园的主人卡尔哈特雷夫妇开放庄园,保护世界上最稀有的罗斯柴尔德长颈鹿的故事。

Carr-Hartley与他们共用一张餐桌”,由这些信息可知,卡尔哈特雷一家之所以特别是因为他们与长颈鹿同住。

长颈鹿离我们这么近是一件很特别的事,现在人们住在酒店的10个房间的任何一间就能体验到这种感觉。由此可知,C项(世界上唯一的长颈鹿酒店)最能体现本文的主题思想。

I
think
that
the
most
basic
and
powerful
way
to
connect
to
another
person
is
to
listen.
Just
listen.
Perhaps
the
most
important
thing
we
ever
give
each
other
is
our
1 ,
and
especially
if
it’s
given
from
the
2 .
When
people
are
talking,
there’s
no
need
to
do
anything
3
listen
to
them.
Just
take
them
in.
Listen
to
what
they’re
saying.
Care
about
it.
Most
times
caring
about
it
is
even
more
important 4 understanding
it.
?
One
of
my
patients
told
me
that
when
she 5 to
tell
her
story,
people
often 6 to
tell
her
that
they
once
had
something
just
like
that
happening
to
her.
7 she
stopped
talking
to
most
people.
We
connect
through
listening.
When
we
interrupt
what
someone
is
saying
to
let
them
know
that
we
understand,
we
move
the
8 of
attention
to
ourselves.
But
when
we
listen,
they
know
we
care.
?
I
have
ever
learned
to
respond
to
someone 9 by
just
listening.
In
the
old
days
I
used
to
reach
for
the
tissues
until
I 10 that
passing
a
person
a
tissue
may
be
just
another
way
to
take
them
out
of
their
experience
of
sadness
and
pain.
Now
I
just
listen.
When
they
have
cried
all
they
11 to
cry,
they
find
me
there
with
them.
?
This
simple
thing
has
not
been
that
easy
to
learn.
It
certainly
went
against
everything
I
had
been 12 since
I
was
very
young
at
school.
I
thought
people
listened
only
13
they
were
too
shy
to
speak
or
did
not
know
the
answer.
A
loving
silence
often
has
far
more
power

than
the

There
was
once
a
lonely
girl
who
longed
desperately
for
love.
One
day
while
she
was
walking
in
the
woods
she
found
two
starving
birds.
She
took
them
home
and
put
them
in
a
small
golden
cage.
She
nurtured
(养育)
them
with
love
and
the
birds
grew
strong.
Every
morning
they
greeted
her
with
a
marvelous
(动听的)
song.
The
girl
felt
great
love
for
the
birds.
She
wanted
their
singing
to
last
forever.
One
day
the
girl
left
the
door
to
the
cage
open.
The
larger
and
stronger
one
of
the
two
birds
flew
from
the
cage.
The
girl
watched
anxiously
as
he
circled
high
above
her.
She
was
so
frightened
that
he
would
fly
away
and
she
would
never
see
him
again
that
as
he
flew
close,
she
grasped
at
him
wildly.
She
caught
him
in
her
fist.
She
seized
him
tightly
within
her
hand.
Her
heart
delighted
at
her
success
in
capturing
him.
Suddenly
she
felt
the
bird
went
limp.
She
opened
her
hand
and
stared
in
horror
at
the
dead
bird.
Her
desperate
seizing
love
had
killed
him.
?
She
noticed
the
other
bird
swinging
on
the
edge
of
the
cage.
She
could
feel
his
great
need
for
freedom,
his
need
to
fly
high
into
the
clear,
blue
sky.
She
lifted
him
from
the
cage
and
threw
him
softly
into
the
air.
The
bird
circled
once,
twice,
three
times.
The
girl
looked
delightedly
at
the
bird’s
enjoyment.
Her
heart
was
no
longer
concerned
with
her
loss.
She
wanted
the
bird
to
be
happy.
Suddenly
the
bird
flew
closer
and
landed
softly
on
her
shoulder.
It
sang
the
sweetest
melody
she
had
ever
heard.
The
fastest
way
to
lose
love
is
to
hold
on
too
tight;
the
best
way
to
keep
love
is
to
give
it
wings!
