It's just before l pm and hungry guests are starting to emerge out onto the wooden floor at the back of the Victoria Falls Safari Lodge in Zimbabwe. A few have already settled in for lunch, drinking beer and enjoying their sandwiches and salads in the sunshine. It's a normal setting until you look up. Overhead, the sky is filled with several hundred vultures (秃鹭).
They too have arrived for their midday snack. Every day the team at this hotel places last night's leftover meat out for the vultures to eat. They call it the "Vulture Restaurant" and it's a vital part of protecting these birds, who have become some of the most endangered species in Africa.
In Zimbabwe, where illegal hunting of elephants and rhinos is a major issue, poisoning poses a significant threat to the birds. "In recent years hunters have realized they can use poison to kill animals. It's effective because it's silent and therefore doesn't attract much attention.when the vultures eat the bodies of the dead animals they die too," says Roger Parry, Wildlife Manager at the Victoria Falls Wildlife Trust.
The Vulture Restaurant initiative is part feeding programme, part education programme. By attracting the birds to the Vulture Restaurant every day the team can ensure they're regularly getting a safe meal, and while the birds are there they can educate tourists from all over the world about these creatures.
“Lunch” is served by Moses Garira. He has the unenviable task of wandering out into the middle of the clearing with a box full of meat, dropping the contents onto the ground and running for his life as the vultures fly downward suddenly for their food. No one, surely, would volunteer for this role, but Garira rather enjoys it. Back in the safety of the viewing seats, he tells the onlookers about the importance of vultures. "They're hugely important in terms of their role of cleaning up the bodies of dead animals," says Garira. "Notably, they're safely able to digest bacteria like anthrax. Without vultures, there'd be a lot more disease in the world."
1. What's the biggest threat vultures facing in Zimbabwe?
A. Overhunting.
B. Unsafe food.
C. Loss of habitat.
D. A bird disease.
2. What would others think of Garira's job?
A. Scary.
B. Relaxing.
C. Well-paid.
D. Time-consuming
3. What do Garira's words mean?
A. Birds are human's best friends.
B. People know little about vultures.
C. Vultures are environmentally favorable.
D. Vultures are in urgentneed of protection.
B
Imust have always known reading was very important because the first memories I have as a child deal with books. There was not one night that I don’t remember mom reading me a storybook by my bedside. I was extremely inspired by the wonderful way the words sounded.
I always wanted to know what my mom was reading. Hearing mom say, “I can’t believe what’s printed in the newspaper this morning,” made me want to grab it out of her hands and read it myself. I wanted to be like my mom and know all of the things she knew. So I carried around a book, and each night, just to be like her, I would pretend to be reading.
This is how everyone learned to read. We would start off with sentences, then paragraphs, and then stories. It seemed an unending journey, but even as a six-year-old girl I realized that knowing how to read could open many doors. When mom said, “The C-A-N-D-Y is hidden on the top shelf,” I knew where the candy was. My progress in reading raised my curiosity, and I wanted to know everything. I often found myself telling my mom to drive more slowly, so that I could read all of the road signs we passed.
Most of my reading through primary, middle and high school was factual reading. I read for knowledge, and to make A’s on my tests. Sometimes, I would read a novel that was assigned, but I didn’t enjoy this type of reading.
I liked facts, things that are concrete. I thought anything abstract left too much room for argument.
Now that I’m growing and the world I once knew as being so simple is becoming more complex, I find myself needing a way to escape. By opening a novel, I can leave behind my burdens and enter into a wonderful and mysterious world where I am now a new character. In these worlds I can become anyone. I don’t have to write
down what happened or what technique the author was using when he or she wrote this. I just read to relax.
We’re taught to read because it’s necessary for much of human understanding. Reading is an important part of my life. Reading satisfies my desire to keep learning. And I’ve found that the possibilities that lie within books are limitless.
4. Why did the author want to grab the newspaper out of mom’s hands？
A. She wanted mom to read the news to her.
B. She couldn’t wait to tear the newspaper apart.
C. She couldn’t help but stopmom from reading.
D. She was eager to know what had happened.
5. According to Paragraph 3, the author’s reading of road signs shows___________.
A. her own way to find herself
B. her eagerness to develop her reading ability
C. her growing desire to know the world around her
D. her effort to remind mom to obey traffic rules
6. The author takes novel reading as a way to___________.
A. explore a mysterious land
B. develop an interest in learning
C. get away from a confusing world
D. learn about the adult world
7. What could be the best title for the passage？
A The Pleasure of Reading B. Growing Up with Reading
C. The Magic of Reading
D. Reading Makes a Full Man
C
For fishermen and sailors in the seaside town of Shangpan in Linhai, Zhejiang province, where recently 12 stranded（搁浅的）whales were found, it is not unusual to spot whales or dolphins in the sea — they would always call them haizi, or “son of the ocean”. And if the local fishermen spot such intelligent sea creatures in need, they will save them from danger without hesitation.
In the recent rescue of melon-headed whales, they tried their best to help as a 37-second video of a young man sleeping in the water holding a whale soon went viral online, with netizens applauding his constant efforts and caring heart in trying to keep the whale alive. “The melon-headed whale knew I was trying to save it and
would be more cooperative and wouldn’t move.” said Lu Wenhui, a 21-year-old diver from Hangzhou Changqiao Polar Ocean Park, who held up the whale’s head so it could breathe easily. Lu had been staying in the water for 10 hours by 4 a.m. Wednesday after coming for the rescue work on Tuesday, when the stranded whales were first spotted.
“Whales are mammals and need to breathe in air — that’s why I had to hold its head, to ensure it could breathe smoothly the whole time,” Lu said. The stranded whales, after the struggling of being transported, were worn out when they arrived at the fish farm and might have drowned if they were left unattended.
The reason why the whales were stranded is still not clear. And these stranded whales were returned to the ocean because they are not adapted to artificial breeding environments on land.
8. What do local fishermen usually do after finding haizi in danger?
A. Ignore them.
B. Feed them.
C. Transport them.
D. Protect them.

A. To introduce the whales in detail.
B. To voice his views on the diver.

10. What can we say about the melon-headed whales according to the text?
A. They are rarely seen by locals.
B. They are used to breathing in the sea.

11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Melon-headed Whales Were Stranded
B. Rescuers Went All out to Help Whales
C. Fishermen Transported Stranded Whales
D. Witnesses Voiced Opinions on Rescue Work
D

52.阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Tess was a five-year-old when she heard her Mom and Dad talking about her little brother, Andrew. All she knew was that he was very sick and they didn't have money for the doctor's bills. Only a very costly operation could save him. She heard Daddy say to Mommy sadly, "Only a miracle can save him now."
Tess went to her bedroom and pulled out her piggy bank. She poured all the change out and counted it carefully. No chance here for mistakes. Carefully placing the coins back, she secretly went out the back door and ran to the drugstore in a comer.
She waited patiently for the chemist to give her some attention but he was too busy. So she took a quarter from her piggy bank and hit it hard on the counter. That did it! "And what do you want?" the chemist asked in an angry voice. "I'm talking to my brother from Chicago whom I haven't seen in ages."
“Well, I want to talk to you about my brother. He's really, really sick... and I want to buy a miracle.” Tess replied.
“I beg your pardon?” said the chemist.
“My brother has something bad growing inside his head and Daddy says only a miracle can save him now. So how much does a miracle cost?”
“We don't sell miracles here. I'm sorry but I can't help you,” the chemist said, softening a little.
“Listen, I have the money to pay for it. If it isn't enough, I will get the rest. Just tell me how much it costs.”
The chemist's brother was a well-dressed man. He came over and asked Tess, "What kind of a miracle does your brother need?”
“I don't know,” Tess replied with her eyes welling up. “I just know he's really sick and needs an operation. But my Daddy can't pay for it, so I want to use my money.”
“How much do you have?” asked the well-dressed man. “One dollar and eleven cents,” Tess answered in a low voice.
