The New South Wales government used planes to drop more than 4,000 pounds of carrots and sweet potatoes, to the forests which are damaged by the recent wildfires. The fires are reported to have killed more than a billion wild animals and destroyed a land of more than 84 thousand square kilometers about twice the size of Maryland. What is worse, most Australians are worrying about when the wildfires will be fully put out.
"The home of several important wallabies(沙袋鼠) was burnt in the recent fires," New South Wales Environment Minister Matt Kean said on Sunday. Kean said the drops are what wallabies need. The plan is designed to help wallabies and allow them to recover.
Fire seasons often take place in the country, but this year the fires have been quite devastating. The country experienced one of its hottest and driest years, which made
it harder to put out the fires. Besides wild animals, the fires have taken the lives of at least 25 people and destroyed more than 2,000 homes.
"I think there's nothing to compare with the damage that's going on over such a large area so quickly. It's a big event in terms of geography and the number of wild animals," Dickman, an animal protection expert, said in an interview with NPR last week.
"We know that the number of Australian wild animals has been going down over the last several decades, and it's probably fairly well known that Australia's got the world's highest rate of extinction(灭绝) of animals," he added. "It's events like this that may increase the speed of extinction of a lot of other animals. So, it's a very sad time. Everyone has to try their best to do something for them."
21. Why did the Australian government drop potatoes？
A、To help the people.
B、To trap the animals.
C、To feed the animals.
D、To plant potatoes there.
22. What does the underlined word "devastating" in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A、Damaging.
B、Interesting.
C、Surprising.
D、Tiring.
23. What can we know about the recent Australian wildfires from the text?
A、They have been under control.
B、They have killed a small amount of wildlife.
C、The weather is helpful in putting out them.
D、They have greatly influenced both people and animals.
24. What does Dickman want to stress in the last paragraph?
A、Australia has a lot of wildlife.
B、Australians have suffered a lot.
C、Australians should protect the wildlife.
D、The government is responsible for the wildfires.
B
Getting good at a sport is difficult enough. Mastering one and then reinventing yourself after moving halfway across the world is another story, but Abigail Fernandes is doing just that. The 17-year-old student was a good shooter while studying in Britain. But when she moved back to Hong Kong, China, life suddenly felt a little empty without the eight hours a week of shooting training she'd become used to.
"I decided to go for a sport that might help me get fitter and allow me to protect myself in the future," she explains. With its high intensity(强度) exercise, and chances to build strength, boxing fit the bill perfectly.
"Boxing teaches you patience, but best of all, a hunger to learn," she said. "The values and lessons the sport teaches you can all be used in both your day-to-day life and education."
Now, she has been boxing for just a little more than three years and loves the challenges that this sport offers. She trains 10 hours a week with her coach Jim, who has helped her to grow as an athlete(运动员) and a person.
Though she has made great progress, she thinks being able to deal with hits in the ring is her biggest challenge. "When you get hit in the ring, it’s so easy to burst into tears and give up, but this gets you nowhere," she says. "I want to be able to take hits and accept them. These are skills that can only be learned through countless sessions(课) of sparring(拳击). The first time I sparred I cried, so I'm proud of myself for never turning down a sparring session," she says.
Abigail says that though her training is pretty boring, she'll keep practicing as she looks for a competition where she can put her skills to the test. "I have a long way to go," she says, "but I want to learn everything this sport has to offer!"
25. Why did Abigail decide to box?
A、To protect her family.
B、To prove her athletic ability.
C、To earn a living in the future.
D、To make her healthy and strong.
26. What is Abigail's opinion on boxing?
A、It helps her in many ways.
B、It is too dangerous.
C、It is a waste of time.
D、It changes her values.
27. Which of the following words can best describe Abigail?
A、Clever but very shy.
B、Lovely but careless.
C、Brave and hard-working.
D、Honest and warm-hearted.
C
When I was five years old, my parents would have to pull me home from yet another painful English vacation. I still didn't want to leave. I wanted to be away from home. I wanted to go somewhere new and exciting. This became the theme of the next twenty years. I'd spend the whole year counting down to my next holiday, and then as soon as I left I'd begin to dread having to return home. Year after year.
Ten years ago, I decided to build a life that I didn't want to escape from. I knew I wanted to travel in the long term, but I didn't have a lot of money or savings, and there was no one paying for my adventures. For five years, I did three jobs while studying full-time at university. I didn't eat out and I didn't buy anything I didn't need. I even moved in with my parents. I was able to save $16,000 over those five years, which was enough to keep me on the road for a couple of years.
But what if two years wouldn't be enough? Before leaving, I began to spend my time in making plans that would allow me to work anywhere that had an Internet connection. At the time, I was studying for a master degree in Physics. While studying, I came up with
a list of my interests and skills and began researching into a way to do these anywhere. If I could make money from it and if I could do it online, then it was something worth going after.
I created a writing file that would help me to find free writing jobs. I researched English and Physics teaching online, and built travel websites to earn income through sales and advertising. Most of these failed, but I didn't give up.
The work I do has changed over the years and it's still changing now. Now, I pay my traveling through several different things. I'm the Student Travel Expert for About. com, and a senior writer for Too Many Adapters, a travel technology website. In addition, I will have my first book published this summer. I also offer a travel planning service to help readers prepare for their travels abroad.
To reach this point, where I can cover my expenses and travel full-time, took many, many years of hard work. For me, the freedom makes it worth it. With everything set in place, finally my dreams came true.
28. What does the underlined word "dread" mean in Paragraph 1?
A、Fear.
B、Forget
C、Miss.
D、Consider.
29. The author has taken the following jobs except .
A、placing advertisements online
B、offering a travel planning service
C、teaching Physics in a university
D、free writing on the websites
30. Which of the following best describes the author?
A、Open-minded.
B、Kind-hearted.
C、Cold-blooded.
D、Strong-willed.
31. What is the passage mainly about?
A、Why the author desired freedom.
B、Why the author needed money.
C、How the author made his living.
D、How the author realized his dream.
D
It is made from grapes grown without pesticides(杀虫剂) and chemicals, and is kind to the environment and rarely causes hangovers(宿醉). Sales of organic wine are booming in the UK.
According to the organic food and farming group Soil Association, sales of organic beers, wines and spirits rose by 14.3% last year to reach nearly $6 million, driven by the demand from consumers(消费者) who are increasingly seeking "natural" food.
"It seems that people are rediscovering their link with the environment through organic food. Organic wines also taste better, perhaps due to the less use of man-made chemicals," said Finn Cottle of Soil Association. As well as the benefits of producing grapes without using pesticides, organic wine also contains less sulphur dioxide(二氧化硫), which can contribute towards hangovers.
Supermarkets are increasing supplies on their shelves to meet consumer demand, while the switch to online shopping has also helped, as people are more easily able to find what they are looking for. Vintage Roots is now one of the UK's biggest online shops of organic wine, while Ocado provides more than 100 different organic wines and Daylesford, best-known for its organic vegetable boxes, has branched out into organic wines and spirits.
The discount supermarket ALDI is set to start its first collection of so-called "green" wines this week, offering eight wines with organic certificates. ALDI expects the wines to appeal to the young shoppers who are increasingly concerned about the environmental influence of the produce that they are buying and consuming.
English organic wine producer Oxney Organic Estate's Pinot noir rosé recently won the Waitrose prize for the most outstanding rosé wine at the competitio n. A spokeswoman for Waitrose said: "Organic wine is a growing trend(趋势) globally and we have seen sales increase by 16% in the last year."
32. Sales of organic wine are increasing probably because .
A、consumers are now more environmentally aware
B、it offers a very different taste from traditional wine
C、consumers are tired of hangovers after drinking
D、it contains no sulphur dioxide or pesticides
33. "Waitrose" in the last paragraph is probably .
A、a wine producer
B、an organic wine
C、a wine-competition organizer
D、a news agency
34. The writing purpose of the text is to .
A、persuade readers to go green while drinking
B、compare organic wine and traditional wine
C、share with readers wines without hangovers
D、introduce a new consuming trend in the UK

Many parents don't allow or help their children to learn to swim. 35 A child who has learned to swim has the confidence to attend activities about water, like parties. More importantly, the child is safer in and around water. Here are some tips for you to help your child learn to swim.
Introduce your child to water early in life. Children who become familiar with water in the early days are less likely to be afraid of water later. 36 You can build a private pool for your child. Or allow your child to use a public pool. Most public pools have special pools for the youngest children.
For older children who want to learn to swim but have a fear of water, introduce them to water gradually. Be sure not to avoid the pool when the water is cold and uncomfortable because you want the experience to be pleasant. What if your child only wants to hang his feet in water at first? 37
Once your child has become comfortable with water, he will be able to begin the basics. 38 They'll be followed by learning how to float(浮起来), kick and so on. If you find it challenging to teach your child to swim, consider asking a private instructor to work with him.
39 Never allow a child who can't swim into the water alone and never leave a child unobserved in the water. Follow all pool and water safety recommendations at all times. And before swimming, check the possible dangers in the pools.
A. First a child must learn proper breathing skills.
B. It's also useful for adults to practice swimming
C. When building it, you should avoid a deep pool.
D. So creating an environment with water is necessary.
E. But the ability to swim can be important for children.
F. Have patience, and finally he'll become confident enough to get in.
G. Whoever helps your child swim, let him swim in a safe water environment.

Dear Wang Li,
I have received your letter saying that you are faced with a lot of pressure these days. In fact, it’s quite common among we students. The following suggestions may be helpful.
First of all, find out what leads to your pressure, which can help you take measures to deal with it. Secondl y, why not set up a suitable goal? Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Thirdly, you’d better find a way to relax yourself. For example, you can listen to music, go swimming or just simply go walking. Making friends with others is also a good idea. When you are in trouble, they will come to your help.
I hope you will benefit from my suggestions.
Best wishes to you.
Yours,
LiHua。
