Jahiem
Morgan
knew
he
was
too
young
to
be
living
on
his
own
at
15
years
old,
but
he

have
much
of
a
choice.
His
parents
died
when
he
was
12,
and
he
lacked
a
reliable
home.

slept
on

“There’s
shame
that
goes
with

they
hide
what’s
going
on
with
them.”
Sokolik
was
first
introduced

this

in
2006,
when
her

her

In
2007,
she
founded

Right,
Now,”
an
organization
that
helps
homeless
youth
get
permanent
housing,
graduate
from
high
school
and
move
on
to
their
next
goal.
“They

in
so

others,”
Sokolik
said.
“The

of

第二部分：
阅读理解[共两节，38分]
第一节（共14小题；每小题2分，共28分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的ABCD四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。
B
In
the
South
Atlantic
Ocean,
there
is
an
island
called
Tristan
da
Cunha,
which
is
a
six
day
boat
ride
from
the
nearest
town
Cape
Town
in
South
Africa.
There’s
no
airport
on
Tristan.
Every
month
or
so,
a
boat
will
bring
visitors
but
not
many.
The
boat
will
also
bring
mail
and
supplies.
You
can
only
see
about
270
people,
300
cows,
500
sheep,
and
a
whole
lot
of
penguins
there.
The
British
tried
to
build
a
military
base
there
in
1816.
They
gave
up
after
a
year.
But
a
soldier
and
his
family
talked
a
few
people
into
staying.
Those
people
slowly
built
a
community.
Few
trees
grow
on
the
island.
So
they
found
wood
that
washed
ashore.
They
used
it
to
build
homes
and
boats.
For
food,
they
raised
cows,
sheep
and
pigs.
They
fished
and
planted
potatoes.
They
promised
to
share
everything
they
had.
Sometimes
ships
brought
supplies
to
Tristan.
But
for
many
years,
no
one
there
used
money.
Instead,
people
on
the
island
traded
potatoes
for
supplies.
It
cost
five
potatoes
to
send
a
piece
of
mail.
Today,
nearly
everyone
on
Tristan
is
a
farmer.
The
island’s
main
industry
is
fishing.
It
has
a
single
factory
that
cans
fish.
Several
times,
bad
luck
has
nearly
destroyed
the
town
on
Tristan.
In
1885,
men
died
in
a
boat
accident.
That
left
13
women
and
only
4
adult
men
on
the
island.
Still,
everyone
stayed.
In
1961,
a
bigger
disaster
stuck.
The
town
was
destroyed
by
a
volcanic
eruption.
All
290
people
on
the
island
moved
to
England.
But
soon,
nearly
all
of
them
moved
back
to
the
island
and
rebuilt
their
town.
What’s
so
special
about
life
on
this
lonely
island?
For
islanders
like
Harold
Green,
that’s
an
easy
question
to
answer.
Green
has
lived
on
Tristan
his
whole
life.
He
left
when
the
volcano
erupted.
But
England
was
too
loud
and
too
crowded
for
him.
He
came
back
because
the
island
is
peaceful.
21.
What
was
used
as
money
on
Tristan
in
the
past?
A.
Fish.
B.
Wood.
C.
Sheep.
D.
Potatoes
22.
What
made
all
the
Tristan
islander
move
to
England
in
1961?
A.
A
deadly
boat
accident.
B.
A
terrible
natural
disaster.
C.
The
attraction
of
modern
life.
D.
The
building
of
a
British
military
base.
23.
How
does
Harold
Green
feel
about
his
life
on
Tristan?
A.
Bored
B.
Hopeful.
C.
Satisfied
D.
Regretful.
24.

introduce?
A.
A
lonely
island.
B.
A
special
lifestyle.
C
A
famous
fishing
town.

da
Cunha的岛屿，以及岛上居民的生活经历，以及每个月都会有游客前来游玩，说明文章主要介绍了一个受欢迎的旅游景点。故选D项。
C
At
the
start,
one
gets
the
impression
of
being
in
a
normal
museum
where
you
walk
from
room
to
room
and
look
at
things
like
paintings.
The
Museum
of
Broken
Relationships,
however,
offers
its
visitors
a
chance
to
see
a
special
part
of
people’s
lives:
both
women
and
men
from
all
over
the
world
have
sent
in
their
personal
belongings
which
they
connect
with
past
and
broken
relationships.
There
is
a
surprisingly
large
number
of
things
in
the
little
museum
that
is
set
in
the
beautiful
old
town
of
Zagreb,
the
capital
of
Croatia.
The
things
have
been
placed
in
different
rooms,
representing
different
kinds
of
break-ups.
Some
relationships
lasted
for
a
long
time
while
others
were
only
short
ones.
A
woman
from
the
Philippines
sent
a
newspaper
from
NYC
where
she
and
her
boyfriend
had
been
building
up
their
careers.
The
newspaper
stands
for
the
hard
work
of
becoming
successful
together;
within
a
few
years
though,
the
couple
took
different
roads
in
life.
As
you
walk
through
the
museum
you
will
laugh
your
head
off
one
minute
and
find
yourself
reduced
to
tears
during
another.
This
might
happen
in
the
room
of
unintended
break-ups,
that
is
,
relationships
that
fell
apart
because
one
partner
died.
Poems
and
letters,
or
broken
glass
are
common
symbols
for
the
end
of
a
pleasant,
but
sometimes
difficult
time.
People
also
sent
wedding
dresses,
photos
and
things
that
helped
them
escape
a
relationship
for
good,
like
a
bicycle
or
trainers.
This
museum
might
not
teach
you
anything
about
art,
history
or
technology,
but
it
shows
a
very
humane
side
of
life.
Each
story
tell
us
that
life
will
go
on
after
a
break-up.
It
might
not
be
easy
for
a
while
but
you
will
learn
from
your
experience
and
grow
stronger
again.
Having
visited
a
lot
of
“normal”
museums,
the
Museum
of
Broken
Relationships
is
a
good
second
choice
and
a
creative
way
of
making
people
think
about
their
lives.

What

The
newspaper
stands
for
the
hard

D
Parents
often
tell
kids
that
playing
video
games
will
harm
their
brains.
But
last
June
a
study
found
the
opposite
—
certain
video
games
can
give
your
brain
help.
Researchers
from
the
University
of
Montreal,
in
Canada,
asked
a
group
of
people
to
play
Super
Mario
64
for
90
hours
over
the
course
of
about
10
weeks.
They
found
that
those
people
experienced
growth
in
the
part
of
the
brain
that
is
responsible
for
memory.
But
many
people
think
that
there’s
nothing
good
about
looking
at
a
screen
for
hours
at
a
time.
They
say
that
playing
sports,
reading,
and
doing
other
activities
can
give
you
the
same
benefits
that
playing
video
games
does.
Plus,
some
video
games
can
be
harmful.
The
study
from
the
University
of
Montreal
also
found
that
playing
shooter
games
like
Call
of
Duty
has
a
different
influence
from
playing
Super
Mario
64
—
it
causes
the
area
of
the
brain
that’s
responsible
for
memory
to
shrink.
Here’s
what
two
of
our
readers
think.
Playing
video
games
can
be
beneficial
because
it
requires
skills
like
problem-solving,
strategic
thinking,
and
sometimes
teamwork.
A
study
by
researchers
at
the
University
of
Glasgow,
in
Scotland,
found
that
playing
video
games
improves
your
communication
skills
and
ability
to
find
ways
to
solves
problems.
Video
games
can
also
help
you
become
more
creative.
For
example,
Minecraft
requires
you
to
think
outside
the
box
and
build
things
with
materials
you
never
even
knew
existed.
Yo
can
build
your
dream
house!
Some
schools
are
even
using
Minecraft
to
teach
topics
like
math
and
computer
science.
—Mackenzle
Reldy,
Nebraska
Playing
video
games
takes
time
away
from
other
more
important
things.
I
used
to
spend
a
lot
of
time
playing
them.
Sometimes
that
kept
me
from
doing
things
I
needed
to
do,
like
studying
my
spelling
words.
Playing
video
games
can
also
be
bad
for
your
health.
Last
year,
researchers
studied
kids
and
teens
in
Canada
who
play
video
games.
They
found
a
connection
between
playing
video
games
for
hours
before
going
to
bed
and
being
overweight.

It’s
very
important
to
develop
new
technology
wisely
so
that
everyone
can
benefit
form
it.
Some
people
believe
our
technology
plan
should
focus
on
building
spaceships.
____32____
Which
is
the
better
course
of
action?
For
those
who
dream
of
exploring
outer
space,
the
development
of
high-tech
spaceships
is
important.
But
just
one
spaceship
can
cost
billions
of
dollars.
___33___
Even
the
most
specialized
robots
could
be
designed
and
built
much
more
cheaply
than
spaceships.
Besides,
robots
could
be
used
for
practical
purposes
right
here
on
Earth.
Many
people
who
focus
on
future
space
exploration
talk
about
solving
the
key

____34____
Robots
will
play
many
new
roles
in
people’s
life
in
the
future,
but
even
the
robots
we
have
now
benefit
us
in
practical
ways.
For
example,
they
can
work
in
dangerous
conditions,
such
as
places
with
very
high
or
low
temperatures.
They
can
take
apart
bombs,
build
products,
or
carry
out
important
surgery.
___35___
In
a
word,
it’s
clearly
better
to
give
attention,
time,
and
money
to
the
technological
development
of
robots.
___36___
They
also
benefit
people
in
ways
that
are
more
practical
than
any
benefit
from
a
spaceship.
A.
It
is
way
more
costly
than
building
a
robot.
B.
Others
believe
it
should
focus
on
building
robots.
C.
They
are
less
expensive
to
develop
and
more
useful.
D.
These
are
all
useful
things
that
benefit
people
right
now.
E.
Here
are
some
of
the
advantages
of
having
robots
around
the
house.
F.
Technology
plays
an
important
role
in
helping
humans
work
more
easily.
G.
While
this
kind
of

第三部分：书面表达[共两节，12分]
第一节
阅读与表达（共4小题；每小题3分，共12分)；
本节为一篇阅读材料，根据语篇内容回答语篇后面的4个问题。
The
white
rhino
is
the
largest
species
of
rhinos.
It
has
a
wide
mouth
and
is
known
to
be
sociable.
Its
eyesight
is
not
very
good
though.
For
these
reasons,
poachers（偷猎者）have
found
it
easier
to
hunt
the
white
rhino
for
its
horns.
There
are
now
serious
concerns
that
the
white
rhino
may
soon
become
extinct.
In
the
large
national
parks
in
Africa
where
white
rhinos
live,
it
is
very
hard
to
protect
them.
The
rhino
horn
these
days
is
more
expensive
than
gold,
so
poachers
are
very
determined
to
hunt
them.
It
is
said
that
about
three
rhinos
are
killed
by
poachers
every
day.
If
this
continues
they
will
be
extinct
with
in
the
next
ten
years.
Three
years
ago,
an
organization
in
Adelaide,
Australia,
began
planning
The
Australian
Rhino
Project.
Its
purpose
is
to
create
what
they
call
the
insurance
population.
The
idea
is
to
create
a
120
acre
park
in
Australia
where
white
rhinos
from
Africa
can
be
kept
and
protected.
They
can
also
breed
so
over
time
their
numbers
will
grow.
If
anything
happens
to
the
white
rhinos
in
Africa,
they
can
be
replaced
with
the
rhinos
in
Australia.
It
sounds
like
a
good
idea,
but
it’s
expensive!
White
rhinos
first
have
to
be
taken
to
Australia.
Each
one
weights
about
3,000
kilos
and
the
cost
of
flying
them
on
the
13-hour
flight
is
US
$70,000
per
rhino!
To
make
sure
that
the
selected
rhinos
are
healthy,
they
will
have
to
be
kept
in
quarantine
before
they
leave
Africa
and
when
they
arrive
in
Australia.
This
too,
is
expensive.
Some
people
have
said
that
the
money
would
be
better
spent
on
education
people
in
Africa
to
stop
poaching
rhinos.
As
long
as
poachers
continue
to
kill
rhinos
and
people
want
to
buy
rhino
horns,
it’s
probably
a
wise
decision
to
help
protect
some
of
the
species
in
Australia.
It
would
be
a
tragedy
if
these
huge
animals
disappeared
for
ever.
37.
What
do
the
poachers
hunt
the
white
rhino
for?
38.
What
will
probably
happen
to
the
white
rhinos
in
Africa
in
the
future?
39.
Why
did
an
organization
in
Adelaide
plan
The
Australian
Rhino
Project?
40.
How
does
the
author
think
of
The
Australian
Rhino
Project?
【答案】37.
Making
more
money.
38.
The
white
rhinos
will
be
extinct
within
the
next
ten
years.
39.
To
create
what
they
call
the
insurance
population.
40.
The
Australian
Rhino
Project
is
expensive,
but
it
is
worthwhile.
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了现如今非洲的白犀牛面临着未来可能会灭绝的危险，作者呼吁大家不要再买犀牛角。
【37题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段“The
rhino
horn
these
days
is
more
expensive
than
gold,
so
poachers
are
very
determined
to
hunt
them.（如今犀牛角比黄金还贵，所以偷猎者决心要猎杀它们。）”可知，偷猎者猎杀白犀牛是为了赚取更多的钱。故答案为Making
more
money.
【38题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第二段“If
this
continues
they
will
be
extinct
with
in
the
next
ten
years.（如果这种情况继续下去，它们将在未来十年灭绝。）”可知，非洲白犀牛未来可能会灭绝。故答案为The
white
rhinos
will
be
extinct
within
the
next
ten
years.
【39题详解】
考查细节理解。根据第三段“Three
years

create
what
they
call
the
insurance
population.

and
people
want
to
buy

horns,
it’s
probably
a
wise

disappeared
for
ever.(只要偷猎者继续捕杀犀牛，人们还想买犀牛角，保护澳大利亚的一些物种可能就是一个明智的决定。如果这些巨大的动物永远消失，那将是一场悲剧。)”可知，作者认为澳大利亚犀牛项目实施起来很贵，但是值得的。故答案为The
Australian
Rhino
Project
is
expensive,
but
it
is
worthwhile.

Morgan
knew
he
was
too
young
to
be
living
on
his
own
at
15
years
old,
but
he
didn’t
have
much
of
a
choice.
His
parents
died
when
he
was
12,
and
he
lacked
a
reliable
home.
So
he
slept
on
the
streets.
“It
was
dangerous
but
I
did
what
I
had

do
in

___1___,”
said
Morgan.
Morgan

are
out
on

end
up
in
___3___
situations---
living
on
the
streets
or
in
abandoned
buildings.
“Most
people
don’t
even___4___
these
kids
exist,”
said
Vicki
Sokolik,
who
helps
these
teens
in
Florida.
“There’s
shame
that
goes
with
being
a
homeless
youth.
So
they
hide
what’s
going
on
with
them.”
Sokolik
was
first
introduced
to
this
population
in
2006,
when
her
son
told
her
about
a
classmate
who
was
in
danger
of
becoming___5___.
Sokolik
helped
the
girl,
finding
her
a
place
to
live.
The
experience
encouraged
Sokolik
to
do
___6___.
In
2007,
she
founded
“Starting
Right,
Now,”
an
organization
that
helps
homeless
youth
get
permanent
housing,
graduate
from
high
school
and
move
on
to
their
next
goal.
“They
come
in
so
broken;
they
cannot___7___
others,”
Sokolik
said.
“The
___8___
of
these
kids
is
great.
And
it’s
great
that
they
can
be
happy
again.”

from
high
school
and
head
to
college.
“I
am
so

第一节（共14小题；每小题2分，共28分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的ABCD四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。
B
In
the
South
Atlantic
Ocean,
there
is
an
island
called
Tristan
da
Cunha,
which
is
a
six
day
boat
ride
from
the
nearest
town
Cape
Town
in
South
Africa.
There’s
no
airport
on
Tristan.
Every
month
or
so,
a
boat
will
bring
visitors
but
not
many.
The
boat
will
also
bring
mail
and
supplies.
You
can
only
see
about
270
people,
300
cows,
500
sheep,
and
a
whole
lot
of
penguins
there.
The
British
tried
to
build
a
military
base
there
in
1816.
They
gave
up
after
a
year.
But
a
soldier
and
his
family
talked
a
few
people
into
staying.
Those
people
slowly
built
a
community.
Few
trees
grow
on
the
island.
So
they
found
wood
that
washed
ashore.
They
used
it
to
build
homes
and
boats.
For
food,
they
raised
cows,
sheep
and
pigs.
They
fished
and
planted
potatoes.
They
promised
to
share
everything
they
had.
Sometimes
ships
brought
supplies
to
Tristan.
But
for
many
years,
no
one
there
used
money.
Instead,
people
on
the
island
traded
potatoes
for
supplies.
It
cost
five
potatoes
to
send
a
piece
of
mail.
Today,
nearly
everyone
on
Tristan
is
a
farmer.
The
island’s
main
industry
is
fishing.
It
has
a
single
factory
that
cans
fish.
Several
times,
bad
luck
has
nearly
destroyed
the
town
on
Tristan.
In
1885,
men
died
in
a
boat
accident.
That
left
13
women
and
only
4
adult
men
on
the
island.
Still,
everyone
stayed.
In
1961,
a
bigger
disaster
stuck.
The
town
was
destroyed
by
a
volcanic
eruption.
All
290
people
on
the
island
moved
to
England.
But
soon,
nearly
all
of
them
moved
back
to
the
island
and
rebuilt
their
town.
What’s
so
special
about
life
on
this
lonely
island?
For
islanders
like
Harold
Green
that’s
an
easy
question
to
answer.
Green
has
lived
on
Tristan
his
whole
life.
He
left
when
the
volcano
erupted.
But
England
was
too
loud
and
too
crowded
for
him.
He
came
back
because
the
island
is
peaceful.
21
What
was
used
as
money
on
Tristan
in
the
past?
A.
Fish.
B.
Wood.
C.
Sheep.
D.
Potatoes
22.
What
made
all
the
Tristan
islander
move
to
England
in
1961?
A.
A
deadly
boat
accident.
B.
A
terrible
natural
disaster.
C.
The
attraction
of
modern
life.
D.
The
building
of
a
British
military
base.
23.
How
does
Harold
Green
feel
about
his
life
on
Tristan?
A
Bored
B.
Hopeful.
C.
Satisfied
D.
Regretful.
24.
What
does
the
text
mainly
introduce?
A.
A
lonely
island.
B.
A
special
lifestyle.
C.
A
famous
fishing
town.
D.
A
popular
tourist
attraction.
C
At
the
start,
one
gets
the
impression
of
being
in
a
normal
museum
where
you
walk
from
room
to
room
and
look
at
things
like
paintings.
The
Museum
of
Broken
Relationships,
however,
offers
its
visitors
a
chance
to
see
a
special
part
of
people’s
lives:
both
women
and
men
from
all
over
the
world
have
sent
in
their
personal
belongings
which
they
connect
with
past
and
broken
relationships.
There
is
a
surprisingly
large
number
of
things
in
the
little
museum
that
is
set
in
the
beautiful
old
town
of
Zagreb,
the
capital
of
Croatia.
The
things
have
been
placed
in
different
rooms,
representing
different
kinds
of
break-ups.
Some
relationships
lasted
for
a
long
time
while
others
were
only
short
ones.
A
woman
from
the
Philippines
sent
a
newspaper
from
NYC
where
she
and
her
boyfriend
had
been
building
up
their
careers.
The
newspaper
stands
for
the
hard
work
of
becoming
successful
together;
within
a
few
years
though,
the
couple
took
different
roads
in
life.
As
you
walk
through
the
museum
you
will
laugh
your
head
off
one
minute
and
find
yourself
reduced
to
tears
during
another.
This
might
happen
in
the
room
of
unintended
break-ups,
that
is
,
relationships
that
fell
apart
because
one
partner
died.
Poems
and
letters,
or
broken
glass
are
common
symbols
for
the
end
of
a
pleasant,
but
sometimes
difficult
time.
People
also
sent
wedding
dresses,
photos
and
things
that
helped
them
escape
a
relationship
for
good,
like
a
bicycle
or
trainers.
This
museum
might
not
teach
you
anything
about
art,
history
or
technology,
but
it
shows
a
very
humane
side
of
life.
Each
story
tell
us
that
life
will
go
on
after
a
break-up.
It
might
not
be
easy
for
a
while
but
you
will
learn
from
your
experience
and
grow
stronger
again.
Having
visited
a
lot
of
“normal”
museums,
the
Museum
of
Broken
Relationships
is
a
good
second
choice
and
a
creative
way
of
making
people
think
about
their
lives.
25.
What
does
the
underlined
word
“they”
in
the
first
paragraph
refer
to?
A.
Visitors.
B.
Women
and
men.
C.
Personal
belongings.
D.
Broken
relationships
26.
What
do
we
know
about
the
“newspaper”
couple?
A.
Their
relationship
was
close
but
short.
B
They
took
different
positions
on
careers.
C.
Their
story
was
reported
by
a
newspaper.
D.
They
helped
each
other
in
making
careers.
27.

room

break-ups

A.

long
time
B.
produced
both
laughter
and
tears
C.
ended
when
one
person
passed
away
D.
failed
because
of
some
misunderstanding
28.
What’s
the
text
mainly
about?
A.
A
special
museum
on
relationships.
B.
Ways
to
repair
broken
relationships.
C.
How
to
develop
healthy
relationships.
D.
Things
connected

Parents
often
tell
kids
that
playing
video
games
will
harm
their
brains.
But
last
June
a
study
found
the
opposite
—
certain
video
games
can
give
your
brain
help.
Researchers
from
the
University
of
Montreal,
in
Canada,
asked
a
group
of
people
to
play
Super
Mario
64
for
90
hours
over
the
course
of
about
10
weeks.
They
found
that
those
people
experienced
growth
in
the
part
of
the
brain
that
is
responsible
for
memory.
But
many
people
think
that
there’s
nothing
good
about
looking
at
a
screen
for
hours
at
a
time.
They
say
that
playing
sports,
reading,
and
doing
other
activities
can
give
you
the
same
benefits
that
playing
video
games
does.
Plus,
some
video
games
can
be
harmful.
The
study
from
the
University
of
Montreal
also
found
that
playing
shooter
games
like
Call
of
Duty
has
a
different
influence
from
playing
Super
Mario
64
—
it
causes
the
area
of
the
brain
that’s
responsible
for
memory
to
shrink.
Here’s
what
two
of
our
readers
think.
Playing
video
games
can
be
beneficial
because
it
requires
skills
like
problem-solving,
strategic
thinking,
and
sometimes
teamwork.
A
study
by
researchers
at
the
University
of
Glasgow,
in
Scotland,
found
that
playing
video
games
improves
your
communication
skills
and
ability
to
find
ways
to
solves
problems.
Video
games
can
also
help
you
become
more
creative.
For
example,
Minecraft
requires
you
to
think
outside
the
box
and
build
things
with
materials
you
never
even
knew
existed.
Yo
can
build
your
dream
house!
Some
schools
are
even
using
Minecraft
to
teach
topics
like
math
and
computer
science.
—Mackenzle
Reldy,
Nebraska
Playing
video
games
takes
time
away
from
other
more
important
things.
I
used
to
spend
a
lot
of
time
playing
them.
Sometimes
that
kept
me
from
doing
things
I
needed
to
do,
like
studying
my
spelling
words.
Playing
video
games
can
also
be
bad
for
your
health.
Last
year,
researchers
studied
kids
and
teens
in
Canada
who
play
video
games.
They
found
a
connection
between
playing
video
games
for
hours
before
going
to
bed
and
being
overweight.

第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两个多余的选项。
It’s
very
important
to
develop
new
technology
wisely
so
that
everyone
can
benefit
form
it.
Some
people
believe
our
technology
plan
should
focus
on
building
spaceships.
____32____
Which
is
the
better
course
of
action?
For
those
who
dream
of
exploring
outer
space,
the
development
of
high-tech
spaceships
is
important.
But
just
one
spaceship
can
cost
billions
of
dollars.
___33___
Even
the
most
specialized
robots
could
be
designed
and
built
much
more
cheaply
than
spaceships.
Besides,
robots
could
be
used
for
practical
purposes
right
here
on
Earth.
Many
people
who
focus
on
future
space
exploration
talk
about
solving
the
key
mysteries
of
space
and
perhaps
even
how
life
comes
into
being.
____34____
Robots
will
play
many
new
roles
in
people’s
life
in
the
future,
but
even
the
robots
we
have
now
benefit
us
in
practical
ways.
For
example,
they
can
work
in
dangerous
conditions,
such
as
places
with
very
high
or
low
temperatures.
They
can
take
apart
bombs,
build
products,
or
carry
out
important
surgery.
___35___
In
a
word,
it’s
clearly
better
to
give
attention,
time,
and
money
to
the
technological
development
of
robots.
___36___
They
also
benefit
people
in
ways
that
are
more
practical
than
any
benefit
from
a
spaceship.
A.
It
is
way
more
costly
than
building
a
robot.
B.
Others
believe
it
should
focus
on
building
robots.
C.
They
are
less
expensive
to
develop
and
more
useful.
D.
These
are
all
useful
things
that
benefit
people
right
now.
E.
Here
are
some
of
the
advantages
of
having
robots
around
the
house.
F.
Technology
plays
an
important
role
in
helping
humans
work
more
easily.
G.
While
this
kind
of
knowledge
is
interesting,
it
is
not
what
people
need
most

The
white
rhino
is
the
largest
species
of
rhinos.
It
has
a
wide
mouth
and
is
known
to
be
sociable.
Its
eyesight
is
not
very
good
though.
For
these
reasons,
poachers（偷猎者）have
found
it
easier
to
hunt
the
white
rhino
for
its
horns.
There
are
now
serious
concerns
that
the
white
rhino
may
soon
become
extinct.
In
the
large
national
parks
in
Africa
where
white
rhinos
live,
it
is
very
hard
to
protect
them.
The
rhino
horn
these
days
is
more
expensive
than
gold,
so
poachers
are
very
determined
to
hunt
them.
It
is
said
that
about
three
rhinos
are
killed
by
poachers
every
day.
If
this
continues
they
will
be
extinct
with
in
the
next
ten
years.
Three
years
ago,
an
organization
in
Adelaide,
Australia,
began
planning
The
Australian
Rhino
Project.
Its
purpose
is
to
create
what
they
call
the
insurance
population.
The
idea
is
to
create
a
120
acre
park
in
Australia
where
white
rhinos
from
Africa
can
be
kept
and
protected.
They
can
also
breed
so
over
time
their
numbers
will
grow.
If
anything
happens
to
the
white
rhinos
in
Africa,
they
can
be
replaced
with
the
rhinos
in
Australia.
It
sounds
like
a
good
idea,
but
it’s
expensive!
White
rhinos
first
have
to
be
taken
to
Australia.
Each
one
weights
about
3,000
kilos
and
the
cost
of
flying
them
on
the
13-hour
flight
is
US
$70,000
per
rhino!
To
make
sure
that
the
selected
rhinos
are
healthy,
they
will
have
to
be
kept
in
quarantine
before
they
leave
Africa
and
when
they
arrive
in
Australia.
This
too,
is
expensive.
Some
people
have
said
that
the
money
would
be
better
spent
on
education
people
in
Africa
to
stop
poaching
rhinos.
As
long
as
poachers
continue
to
kill
rhinos
and
people
want
to
buy
rhino
horns,
it’s
probably
a
wise
decision
to
help
protect
some
of
the
species
in
Australia.
It
would
be
a
tragedy
if
these
huge
animals
disappeared
for
ever.
37.
What
do
the
poachers
hunt
the
white
rhino
for?
38.
What
will
probably
happen
to
the
white
rhinos
in
Africa
in
the
future?
39.
Why
did
an
organization
in
Adelaide
plan
The
Australian
Rhino
Project?
40.
How
does
the
author
think
of
The
Australian
Rhino
Project?
