The air is thin and we have to rest several times on the shore hike from camp. To our left, snow-covered mountains disappear into clouds that seem almost close enough to touch. On the plain in front of us, we can just make out a herd of graceful animals. This is why we stay here.
Tibetan antelopes live mainly on the plains of Tibet. Watching them move slowly across the green grass, I'm struck by their beauty. I'm also reminded of the danger they are in. They are being hunted illegally for their valuable fur.
My guide is Zhaxi, a villager from Changtang. He works at the Changtang National Nature Reserve. The reserve is a safe place for the animals and plants of northwestern Tibet. To Zhaxi, protecting the wildlife is a way of life. “We're not trying to save the animals,” he says. “Actually, we're trying to save ourselves.”
In the 1980s and 1990s the population of Tibetan antelopes dropped by more than 50 percent. Hunters were shooting antelopes to make money. Their living places were becoming smaller as new roads and railways were built.
In order to save Tibetan antelopes, the Chinese government placed them under national protection. Zhaxi and volunteers watched over the antelopes day and night to keep them safe from attacks. Bridges and gates were added to let the antelopes move easily and keep them safe from cars and trains.
The measures were effective. The antelope population has recovered and in June 2015, the Tibetan antelope wasremovedfrom the endangered species list. The government, however, does not intend to stop the protection program since the threat to the Tibetan antelope has not yet disappeared. Only when we learn to exist in harmony with nature can we stop being a threat to wildlife and to our planet.
4. What can we learn from Zhaxi's words in paragraph 3?
A. Protecting the animals can make money.
B. Protecting the animals is protecting ourselves.
C. He is not fond of protecting the animals.
D. The reserve is only safe for wild animals.
5. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 4?
A. Why hunters hunt Tibetan antelopes.
B. Why antelopes' living places changed.
C. Why antelopes' number dropped greatly.
D. Why the 1980s and the 1990s are unusual.
6. What does the underlined word “removed” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Deleted.
B. Changed.
C. Migrated.
D. Recognized.
7. What might be the future condition of Tibetan antelopes according to the last paragraph?
A. They will be over-populated.
B. They will be a threat to man and other wildlife.
C. They will be on the endangered species list again.
D. They will be in harmony with nature and humans.
C
“Your mind is a garden; your thoughts are the seeds. The harvest can either be flowers or weeds,” William Wordsworth wrote. In the above quote, William suggests that the process of gardening mirrors human life. Depending on what we “plant” in our lives, we bloom (生长茂盛) or don’t. Before you start to work in your garden, it’s necessary to have a vision for it. Thinking of what youwant to grow in your garden and how to lay it out is a good first step in making your vision a fruitful reality. In life, you should consider what you want to create and what you want to achieve, because your mind-garden is like the white paper and the possibilities are endless.
Regardless of what you choose to plant, poor soil isn’t suitable for growth. This is why gardeners take the time and energy to upgrade the soil before planting. So, creating the right soil is important to the realization of your goals and dreams. Fortunately, there are countless ways to make your personal bedrock better. Getting an education is one of the most effective ways, which can help you enrich your life’s soil.
You don’t have to be an enthusiastic gardener to understand the meaning of “You reap(收获) what you sow.” When a gardener wants tomatoes, they just need to plant tomato seeds. It’s a very clear act that produces an expected result. Each of us has the power to decide which “life seeds” to plant. For example, if you plant ill seeds, it's likely that you’ll experience pain in return. Contrarily, if you plant seeds of kindness and understanding, your life will bloom with happiness and love.
A gardener’s trulyarduouswork begins after the seeds are in the ground because a garden requires a lot of care and attention. Regular watering and weeding are required for a healthy garden. So, to ensure your dreams take root, you should be devoted, aware, and present. After countless hours and energy spent, the crops have grown well and are finally ready to be harvested.
8. What is important before gardeners break ground in their gardens?
A. Receiving some training in planting.
B. Drawing up a good plan for their gardens.
C. Having the courage to accept the worst outcome.
D. Doing research on the common local garden plants.
9. What is compared to getting education by the author?
A. Improving the condition of the soil.
B. Growing your most favorable plants.
C. Taking care of the plants in your garden.
D. Selecting proper goals in gardening work.
10. What does the author want to express in Paragraph 3?
A. Your quality of life depends on your positive action.
B. Your experience can help you understand plants better.
C. Your choice of soil is an important part in your gardening.
D. Your knowledge of planting will make you a successful gardener.
11. What does the underlined word “arduous” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Beneficial
B. Creative
C. Boring.
D. Tough
D
Ask a classroom of children to draw a scientist, and you’ll see plenty of color1 ed lab coats and glasses. The
image (画像) hasn't changed much since the 1960s, but the person wearing the lab coat is changing.
A new analysis finds that more female scientists have appeared in kids? drawings in recent decades — going from nearly nonexistent in the 1960s to about a third in 2016.
The first of many “ draw-a-scientist ’’ studies asked nearly 5,000 children to draw a scientist between 1966 and 1977. Of those 5,000 drawings, only 28 drew female scientists. That was just 0.56 percent. Today, female scientists are being presented more in the media. For example, in a content analysis, 13 percent of people pictured in science feature stories of the 1960s were women or girls, compared with 44 percent in the 2000s. “That might really affect children’s idea on what a scientist should be like, ” says Miller, a Ph. D. candidate in psychology.
To look for changes in children'sperceptionover time, the researchers conducted a meta-analysis ,combining data from 78 studies that included a total of more than 20,000 children from kindergarten to the 12th grade.On average, 28 percent of children drew female scientists in studies conducted from 1965 to 2016.
What hasn’t changed much: kids pick up stereotypes (模式化观念）by gender (性别）as they grow up. At age 6, about 70 percent of the girls in the more recent studiesdrew female scientists. By age 16, 75 percent drew male scientists. This is an important period in which kids are learning stereotypes. It’s important that teachers and parents present diverse examples of both male and female scientists.
12. What’s the picture of scientists drawn by a 1960s, kid like?
A. A man with long curly hair.
B. A woman with lab glasses.
C. A woman in a formal lab suit.
D. A man in a color1 ed lab coat.
13. What may contribute to the changes in kids’ drawings?
A. The improvement of women^ social status.
B. The kids are affected by teachers and parents.
C. More female scientists appear in the media.
D. The increasing number of female scientists.
14. What does the underlined word “ perception” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?
A. Belief.
B. Idea.
C. Habit.
D. Growth.
15. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that .
A. it's a stereotype that scientists are generally males
B. girls are more influenced by stereotypes than boys
C. some children are born with certain stereotypes
D. most children tend to prefer female scientists

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Success is hardly ever about accidentally “being in theright place at the right time.”___16___Hustle（匆忙）is the most controllable thing that can affect your outcome.
___17___The most important part of determining success is patience. Lacking patience usually prevents people from reaching their goals. People think that only working hard for a specific amount of time guarantees huge results. That’s rarely the case.
Most of the time, you have to play the long game. For example, when I started Wine Library TV, hardly anyone watched it for the first 19 months. Going in, I understood that my videos weren’t going to instantly go viral （传播）. I had to work harder and build my brand first.
In addition to being patient about everything, you need put more work for your goal. That is, you can’t hustle for a day and think you’ll achieve your goal the next day. Not only do you have to work hard, but you have to keep putting in the work.___18___
If you have the desire to want to win big and live your life on your terms, then you have to be willing to put in the time. If your goal is something that you truly want, you can’t give up on it if you don’t see results in the first month.
___19___You should remember that it’s going to take both hard work and patience to get there. Look yourself in the mirror and ask if the time and work you’re putting into your goals realistically supports what you want.___20___If you can keep your hustle and understand that patience will give you the power to make your goals happen, that’s you have a far better chance at succeeding.
A. You have to be honest with yourself.
B. There’s no avoiding it.
C. First work smart, then work hard.
D. There’s no such thing as an “overnight success”.
E. It’s about working hard to position yourself there.
F. In fact, the hard part is maintaining the hustle afterwards.
G. Success doesn’t happen to you; you make it happen.

But then, all too suddenly, something___22___, and over a period of 6 months I firmly managed to___23___one of my diets, and lost 30 pounds. This___24___me from overweight straight down to underweight. The___25___taught me that I could change myself.
I heard about a public speaking___26___going on at my university, and for the first time, I actually managed to___27___the courage to go there. It was___28___. For the first time I shared my story in front of dozens of people___29___judging me, and suddenly all the___30___fears about speaking publicly started___31___. This taught me I could get rid of my___32___.
My road to change, from that point on, went from a（n）___33___to a neat and orderly highway, and I started changing rapidly.
Using the fact that I could get rid of my fears, I started working on them one by one. My fear of___34___strangers, my fear of asking simple___35___I should “make___36___of bymyself”, my fear of hanging out with people. All of them were gone. And I still continue to___37___to this day without___38___.
