She was shocked to see her 9-year-old friend Latoya Muwani being dragged into the water by a crocodile. While all the other children were running scared, Rebecca ran toward the water, jumped on top of the crocodile and started beating it with her bare fists. However, that didn't seem to bother the crocodile at all，so she then used her fingers to gouge its eyes out until it loosened its grasp of Latoya. Once she was free，Rebecca swam with her to the bank.Surprisingly, the 11 -year-old heroine managed to save her young friend without suffering any wounds, while Latoya was lucky to escape with just mild wounds that were later treated at a regional hospital. Latoya's parents praised Rebecca's courage and thanked her for saving their daughter's life. “I was at work when I learnt that my daughter had been attacked by a crocodile while swimming. For a moment I thought of the worst before I learnt that she’d survived after being saved by Rebecca,”Latoya’s father, Fortune Muwani, said. “I don’t know how she managed to do that, but I'm grateful to her. ”Local authorities confirmed the crocodile attack, adding that the number of such incidents was increasing. Apparently, the lack of easily accessible water sources ( 水源)is forcing women and children to use unprotected sources like this crocodile-infested (遍布鳄鱼的)stream.24. What made Rebecca Munkombwe a hero?A. Her catching a crocodile bare-handed.B. Her rescuing a drowning friend in time.C. Her helping a friend out of deadly danger.D.

Because people have poor awareness of safety.B. Because people enjoy getting close to animals in the wild.C. Because people have little knowledge of accessible water sources.D.

They are digging into the area's wheat fields, looking for wet earth that could hide lost ponds underneath. It takes the group of diggers just a few hours to revive (使复活）one dying pond. It's near Hindolveston，a thousand-year-old village close to the North Sea.“As soon as the buried ponds get water and light, they just spring to life，” says Nick Anema, a farmer in nearby Dereham. He ’ s brought seven ponds on his farm back to life. “ Frogs and all the insects like dragonflies can be seen here again,” he said.But the battle for the wetlands is a struggle. While efforts to stop losses are continuing, wetlands around the world are still being filled in and covered up. Over the past three cent uries, almost 90% of the world’s wetlands have disappeared. The loss rate has increased since the 1970s, with wetlands now disappearing three times faster than the world's forests.Some 5,000 wetland -dependent animal species could die out because of such losses. Wetland loss can also affect human beings. Wetlands act as natural storage areas for water. Losing those areas could lead to more severe flooding in many parts of the world. And the act of removing water from wetlands can release huge amounts of carbon dioxide, a major contributor to climate change.Human-made wetlands, however, aren't decreasing in number. Rice fields, water reservoirs and agricultural stock ponds have all increased since the 1970s. Yet scientists are concerned about this phenomenon. “People brag (自夸)about the fact that there’s been no net loss (净损失)of wetlands. But what they’ve done is destroy natural wetlands and create artificial ones，” says Stuart Pimm，a Duke University professor. “ It makes it look like you ’ re doing no harm when the reality is very different.”28. What's the team's work in eastern England intended for?A. Digging wet earth for research.B. Researching into an old village.C. Bringing dying ponds back to life.D. Finding wetlands created by people.29. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?A. Various functions of wetlands.B. Serious consequences of wetland loss.C. Wetlands’ key role in climate change.D. Wetlands ’ importance to living things.30. Which of the following reflects Stuart Pimm's opinion?A. Artificial wetlands can't replace natural ones.B. Creating artificial wetlands upsets the balance of nature.C. Keeping the total number of various kinds of wetlands is important.D. It's important to balance the numbers of natural wetlands and artificial ones.31. What can be the best title for the text?A. Seeking for More WetlandsB. Saving the World9 s WetlandsC. Causes of Wetlands’ DisappearanceD. Natural Wetlands vs. Artificial WetlandsD“If you don’t behave, I'11 call the police” i s a lie that parents generally use to get their young children to behave. Parents, lies work in the short term, but a new study led by NTU Singapore suggests that they're associated with harmful effects when the child becomes an adult.The research team asked 379 Singaporean young adults whether their parents lied to them when they were children, how much they lie to their parents now,and how well they adjust to adulthood challenges.Adults who reported being lied to more as children were more likely to report deceiving their parents in their adulthood. They also said they faced greater difficulty in meeting psychological and social challenges.Lead author Assistant Professor Setoh Peipei from NTU Singapore ’ s School of Social Sciences said, “ Pare nting by lying can seem to save time especially when the real reasons behind why parents want children to do something is complicated to explain. When parents tell children that ‘ honesty is the best policy ', but display dishonesty by lying, such behaviour can send conflicting messages to their children. Parents’ dishonesty may eventually break trust and promote dishonesty in children. Our research suggests that parenting by lying is a practice that has bad consequences for children when they grow up. Parents should be aware of this and consider alternatives to lying, such as acknowledging children's feelings, giving information so children know what to expect, offering choices and problem -solving together, to help children develop good behaviour.”The analysis found that parenting by lying could place children at a greater riskof developing problems that the society disapproves, such as aggression and rule-breaking behaviour. Some limitations of the study include relying on what young adults report about their past experience of parents ’ lying. “ Future research can explore using more information providers，such as parents，to report on the same topic，” suggested Asst Prof Setoh.32. Why is a parental lie mentioned in the first paragraph?A. To introduce the topic for discussion.B. To tell a popular way to educate children.C. To prove the great influence of the police.D. To show the harmful effects of parental lies.33. The underlined word “deceiving” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “”.A.worryingB. abusingC. disappointingD. cheating34. According to the research, which of the following can parents do?A. Give children chances to choose.B. Force good behaviour on children.C. Let children solve problems alone.D. Stop children knowing what to expect.35. What does the last paragraph imply about the study?A.It is quite controversial.B. It is rather meaningless.C.It needs to be perfected.D.It demands honest responses.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
