I had just delivered a memorable speech, and I was about to learn how the judges decided my performance. The audience leaned forward and a period of silence fell across the room. I felt the drum rolled in my heart.
The third-place winner was announced. The name was not mine. Then the second-place winner, still not me. At last, the moment of truth came. I was about to either enjoy the warmth of victory or regret the months’ preparation. My heart felt closer to the latter.
Losing is a part of life, and I have dealt with it on more than one occasion. However, it was an indescribable feeling to drive a 200-mile round trip, get up very early on a freezing Saturday morning, and yet still finish fourth out of four competitors in my group. After Lincoln lost the 1858 Illinois Senate race, he said, “I felt like the 12-year-old boy who kicked his toe. I was too big to cry and it hurt too bad to laugh.” Oh yeah, I could relate.
I had spent many hours in front of a computer and in libraries doing research for the Lincoln Bicentennial Speech Contest. After not placing in the first year of the contest, I really wanted to compete again. Lincoln had many failures, but he never allowed them to defeat his spirit or ambition, so I was not going to give up on a second contest! I reworked my speech for the following year, but again I did not place.
I couldn’t accept the fact that I failed twice in something that I had worked so hard on, until I thought about my hero. Never mind the lost prize money and praise—through learning stories about Lincoln, I discovered that I can fail successfully.
4. How did the author feel after finishing his speech?
A. Delighted.
B. Annoyed.
C. Thrilled.
D. Nervous.
5. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?
A. He was regretful about his not being fully prepared.
B. He felt upset for getting up early on a chilly morning.
C. He once kicked and hurt his toe when he was 12 years old.
D. He turned out to be the last one of his group in the contest.
6. Why did the author decide to enter the second contest?
A. He was eager to prove himself to be the best contestant.
B. He was inspired by the never-give-up spirit of Lincoln.
C. He was willing to enjoy the warmth and joy of victory.
D. He was determined to win the prize money and praise.
7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. A memorable hero in my life
B. Never mind others’ judgments
C. Losing is an indescribable feeling
D. Stand up from where we tripped over
C
Earthquake can disrupt whales’ hunting for food for up to a year,according to a new study.
On November 14, 2016, the Kaikoura earthquake struck New Zealand’s South Island, causing a destructive tsunami. Under the surface, the earthquake caused strong currents that swept away and mostly killed off diverse ecosystems of creatures living along the Kaikoura underwater canyon.
As a result, whales had to dive deeper and longer to find food—“a major shift” in their behavior, says co-author Liz Slooten, a marine biologist at the University of Otago in New Zealand.
The impact earthquakes have on land animals has been well documented, but scientists know ly little about
what happens underwater. Such research is important for government agencies, which may need to take recent earthquakes into consideration when considering fishing quotas（限额）, notes Rochelle Constantine, a marine mammal ecologist at the University of Auckland.
The canyon’s upper reaches are rich in creatures, supplying food for the fish that make up the whales’ diet. So when these smaller life forms were washed away, it had “severe consequences for the community around there”, says study co-author Will Rayment. “That effect flowed all the way through the food chain.”
As part of their ongoing study, the scientists were tracking 42 individual whales. After the earthquake, in all, the team managed to record data on 40 whales, showing that the abundance of whales in the general area didn’t change after the earthquake. However, the whales changed how they used their habitat.
A year after the earthquake, the researchers observed the whales returning to their previous surface-breathing intervals. This could have been because the communities of animals that make up the whales’ food began to recover. “It gives you an idea of how resilient（有复原力的）these deep-sea communities are,” says Rayment.
But he and his colleagues will continue long-term monitoring to see if there are effects they missed. Whale activity in the area had already been declining, though it’s unknown whether it is due to natural changes in food abundance, whale-watching tourism, fishing, or warming ocean temperatures. “There is something going on in Kaikoura,” says Rayment.
8. What happened after the Kaikoura earthquake in the Kaikoura canyon?
A. Several destructive tsunamis struck the area.
B. Whales had to swim to other oceans to find food.
C. Nearly all marine creatures in Kaikoura were killed off.
D. Strong currents washed away many smaller creatures.
9. Which is one of the findings of the study?
A. Earthquakes can make it easier for whales to find food.
B. The whales changed their habitat after the earthquake.
C. It usually takes whales a year to adapt to their new diet.
D. The number of whales in the area dropped sharply after the quake.
10. What does Rochelle Constantine think of the study?
A. It can help government agencies to make some decisions about fishing.
B. It can help government agencies to solve problems in the fishing industry.
C. It is a breakthrough in research on what happens underwater after an earthquake.
D. It offers a detailed description of the impact earthquake have on marine mammals.
11. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Something is affecting the whale activity in Kaikoura.
B. Fishing quotas have been increasing in recent years.
C. The team missed some effects in the research process.
D. The scientists will continue studying earthquakes.
D
The herd of elephants moving north after leaving the Xishuangbanna National Nature Reserve in Yunnan province has drawn widespread public attention, with tens of millions of people following its movement on TV programs and social media platforms.
But this is not because it’s the first time wild Asian Elephants have wandered away from their habitat and headed northward, but for only this time the herd has traveled more than 400 kilometers as far as Kunming. Photographs, videos and stories of the herd’s movement have sparked widespread discussions even overseas.
However, there is a need to go behind the “cute photos” and the seemingly “fantastic” event and identify the reasons why wild elephants are leaving their habitat, and find ways to establish harmonious human-animal relationship within habitats and the surrounding forests and human settlements. It is important to scientifically mark the limits of the habitats for elephants and other animals in Xishuangbanna and elsewhere in the country for ecological reasons as well.
Planting trees is a key and fundamental step toward restoration of nature. Yet long-term investment and a more scientific approach are needed to maintain the remaining forests as well as to extend the forest cover and strengthen conservation.
Nevertheless, tree cover alone doesn’t mean a suitable habitat for all animals, for different species need different types of vegetation to survive and breed. The elephant herd in Yunnan is a reminder that we have to scientifically conserve the existing forests and turn them into suitable habitats for different species of animals and birds, which will ultimately benefit humans.
More ambitious targets should be set to rebuild or improve the food chain, and measures taken to ensure forest resources help wildlife flourish, in order to establish a harmonious human-animal relationship.
Forests around the globe are still shrinking, particularly those in tropical and developing countries. The next decade therefore will be extremely important for the world’s forests and wildlife, and China can play a leading role
in saving them by better protecting its forests and expanding its forest cover.
12. Why has the herd of elephants caused so much public interest?
A. There exist heated discussions in the whole country even overseas.
B. TV programs and social media platforms want to benefit from them.
C. They are the first wild Asian Elephants to leave their natural habitat.
D. The elephants has traveled a long distance and lived in harmony with humans.
13. What can we infer from the third paragraph about the “fantastic” event?
A. More research on the reasons behind the event is required.
B. Scientists need to limit the habitats for elephants and other animals.
C. People should find ways to have a good relationship with elephants.
D. There’s an urgent demand for detailed information about the elephants.
14. Which method is provided in the passage to restore nature?
A. Expanding the coverage of forest.
B. Getting the government’s policy support.
C. Bringing up various ways to protect the forests.
D. Offering more kinds of vegetation to all animals.
15. What does this event of elephants leaving their habitats remind us to do?
A. To set more goals to change the food chain.
B. To be aware of the situation of the existing forests.
C. To realize harmonious coexistence of human and nature.
D. To reduce the destruction of the forests around the globe.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项“I wonder by my troth, what thou and I did, till we loved?” those are the first words of a poem by John Donne that I learned at school and I still know the whole thing today. It’s just one of many poems I've stored in my memory, ready to recite andrelish whenever I please.
It seems that poetry learning has gone out of fashion, but I'm still a fan because it doesn't just breed a lifelong love of poetry.___16___So why not dig out a poem you love and use it to exercise and enrich your recall?

Step 2.___18___ When you're learning a poem, try linking the last word of one line to the first word of the next. In my John Donne poem, one line ends with “see”, and the next starts with “which”, so I pictured a “sea witch”. Making links like these can also help with learning names, and many other kinds of information.
Step 3. Put in a performance. When you're practising a poem, read it aloud, as dramatically and emotionally as you can.____19____
Step 4. Enjoy yourself. Learning poems gives your memory a workout, which improves your mood and gets you into good learning habits. So reap the rewards! Have fun putting rhymes into your shopping list, using rhythm to learn names, or “performing” revision notes before an exam.
