11、 or even extinct. Below are some animals whose numbers have been rapidly dropping in recent years.Panda BearOne of the biggest reasons contributing to the decline in the panda species is the destruction of its natural habitat. Farmers in China have gradually been claiming more and more of the land.

12、As a result, pandas are forced to move away to places where it is hard to find bamboo for food.Green TurtleThe green sea turtle species has survived for several millions of years, so you might wonder why its only becoming endangered now. A major cause is the change in climate and temperature, which

13、both affect the hatching rates of turtle eggs. Climate changes also cause violent weather and rising water levels to flood areas where turtles usually go to lay their eggs. Apart from this, oil spills and other poisonous pollution, as well as increased fishing activities can cause sickness, or even

14、death to the green turtles.CheetahCheetahs are famous for being the fastest animal on land but even they cant run from some of the larger threats that have harmed them. Like the panda bears, cheetahs have gradually been losing their natural homes due to humans claiming land and developing in those a

15、reas. To make matters even worse, smaller animals move away when these areas are occupied, which means that the cheetah has less food! Dont forget that other large animals, such as lions, are also fighting for any food that they can find, so occasionally young cheetahs end up as prey too.Indian Elep

16、hantElephants are extremely intelligent animals and also the largest mammals that live on land. Sadly, in Asia many elephants were killed so that people could remove their tusks to use as decorative objects. While this practice has been banned now, some people still illegally continue. Forests in In

17、dia have also been steadily destroyed and elephants are sometimes killed when they end up on human territory.1、Humans increasing demand for land doesnt affect the number of _.AIndian elephants BcheetahsCpanda bears Dgreen turtles2、We can save the largest mammals living on land by _.Aplanting more ba

18、mboosBhelping them find matesCstopping hunting themDpreventing poisonous pollution3、The living conditions of the fastest animal on land become worse because _.Aforests have been destroyedBthey are threatened by humans and larger animalsCpeople are fond of hunting wild animalsDno law bans people from

19、 removing their tusks22（8分） Both honeybees and ants are social insects that live in groups called colonies. They survive by means of their collective intelligence. Their decision-making power is distributed throughout the group; that is, no one ant or bee makes decisions for the group. Instead, they

20、 work together. As Deborah M. Gordon, a biologist of Stanford University, says, “Ants arent smart. Ant colonies are.” The same is true for bee colonies. Although bees and ants are quite different physically, they have a lot in common in terms of their behavior. Specifically, honeybees and ants have

21、similar roles within the colony, both have communication systems, and both have the capacity of learning.Ants communicate by using chemicals called pheromones, which can alert others to danger or to a food source. For example, when worker ants find a promising source, they let the rest of colony kno

22、w how to find it by leaving a trail of pheromones on the way back to the colony. The other ants pick up the message using their sense of smell. Bees, on the other hand, use movement to communicate with each other. Worker bees send message to each other by means of a “dance”. Different speeds and mov

23、ements send different messages. For example, when worker bees called scouts go out to find a new hoe for the colony, they return and do a dance for the other worker bees that indicates the location of the new home and how suitable it is. The faster the scouts dance the better the new location is.Hon

24、eybees and ants are both capable of learning. One Chinese study found that bees can be trained to learn and remember a route to a food source. The researchers also found that bees can be taught to recognize hidden objects and use the concepts of “sameness” and “difference” to accomplish certain task

25、s. Ants take this one step further. Recent America research has shown that ants not only have the ability to learn, but also can teach their foraging skills to other younger ants. They observed that older ants accompany young ants in search of food and teach them the route and how to avoid obstacles

26、.As we can see, the social behavior of honeybees and ants is quite similar. Both coordinate complex actions and accomplish crucial survival tasks by cooperating in groups consisting of many individuals. Unintelligent as they may be as individuals, as groups they often show amazing brilliance as they

27、 go about their everyday activities.1、What do ants and bees have in common?AThey make use of collective intelligence.BThey live in similar-sized colonies.CThey have small leadership groups that make all decisions.DThey use the same method to communicate with each other.2、What docs the speed of a bee

28、s dance indicate?AThe distance to a neighboring colony.BThe quality of a new colony location.CThe discovery of a new food source.DThe direction to a potential food source.3、In paragraph 3, how docs the author demonstrate the idea that Honeybees and ants are both capable of learning?ABy using statist

29、ics.BBy explaining reason.CBy presenting study findings.DBy stating opinions.4、What does the underlined part “foraging skills” refer to in the third Paragraph?AThe skills of communicating.BThe skills of sacking food.CThe skills of leaning.DThe skills of finding a new home.23（8分）Its not piano lessons

30、 or dance classes.Nowadays,the biggest extra-curricular activity in the west is going to a tutor.Pat,a mother in Canada,spends about 800 Canadian dollars a month on tutors when finding out half her daughters class have tutors.She feels like her child is going to fall behind because everyone else see

31、ms to be ahead.Shelley,a mother of three,also has tutors constantly coming in and out of her home.She was always yelling when she couldnt manage to get her children focused.When she gets a tutor once a week,they become focused for one entire hour and can get most of their homework done.Tutoring isnt

32、 simply a private school phenomenon.Nor is it intended only for lower-achieving students.In Canada alone,seven percent of high school students reported using a tutor in 2010.That increased to 15 percent in 2015.Overall,parents hire tutors because they are worried school are not meeting their expecta

33、tions,but there is also a culture shift.A special value is placed on education in Asia,where tutoring is viewed as an extension to the school day. As a large number of Asians emigrated to the west over the recent years,their attitudes towards education have had an influence.Another reason for the gr

34、owth in business is parental frustration and their packed schedules.A lot of parents just dont have time to help their children with homework and some others couldnt help their children after Grade 3,according to a president of an American tutoring company.There has been a noticeable change in the a

35、ttitudes,too.Children used to get bullied（被欺負(fù)）for having a tutor, now its becoming the norm to have one.Children dont seem to mind that they have a tutor.One parent feels surprised that so many of her childs classmates have tutors.For the amount parents pay in tuition,children should have as much ex

40、y you have some kind of relationship with email, whether you get hundreds of messages a day or a few dozen a week. A new study suggests that how we deal with these incoming messages could be affecting our stress levels and overall health.A team from the Future Work Centre in the UK surveyed 2,000 pe

41、ople across various industries, sectors, and job roles, asking participants how they managed their email and how much associated stress they felt as a result. Overall, those who spent the most time organising and staying on top of messages felt the most email-related pressure too.“While email can be

42、 a valuable communication tool, its clear that its a source of stress of frustration for many of us. The people who reported it being most useful to them also reported the highest levels of email pressure!” said one of the team, Richard MacKinnon.Two of the habits linked to more email-related stress

43、 were checking for messages first thing in the morning and last thing at night. Half of those surveyed had push notifications (消 息推送）set up for new email, while 62 percent of respondents left their email app open all day and all night. Both were linked to higher levels of email pressure. The survey

44、also found that managers suffered more than non-managers.Stress is not just a problem when it comes to our moodits been linked to a lot of disorders such as heart disease， weight gain， memory impairment (減弱），digestive problems,and depression.The researchers suggest that the relationship between emai
