When we see a person in trouble, the first idea that comes to our mind is to lend a hand. But what if we see an animal in trouble, does the same rule apply? This question was raised after a group of penguins were saved from an icy gully (峡谷) in Antarctica. It was filmed for the BBC wildlife series Dynasties. The film crew were anxious when they saw that a group of penguins had fallen into a gully and been trapped with their young. They built a slope (斜坡) so that a few of the penguins could save themselves. The case has taken the international media by storm. Viewers watching this film sighed in relief. “I'm so glad. I understand not taking action directly, but a helping hand isn't bothering, right？” viewer Kathryn Shaw said on her Facebook. However, others think human interference (干涉) is unnatural. “You can't have sunshine throughout your life. To have done anything else would only make matters worse.” said the show's creator David Attenborough, according to The Times. In this case, however, Mike Gunton, the executive producer of the series, said that this was a one-off situation. “There were no animals going to suffer by interfering. You weren't touching the animals and it was just felt by doing this …They had the chance not to have to keep slipping down the slope.” he told the BBC. Such cases are familiar to Paul Nicklen, wildlife photographer for National Geographic. He told Metro, “If it's ever a predator (捕食者) situation, no matter how gut wrenching , you stay out of the way. Even when you're watching a male polar bear eat a baby bear.” “There's no rule book in those situations. You can only respond to the facts that are right there in front of you.” Will Lawson, the show's director, told Daily Mail. 【1】What has led to a heated media discussion? A.The rescue of penguins from a gully. B.People's various remarks on penguins. C.Some penguins' sufferings in a gully. D.Ways of filming the series Dynasties. 【2】Who holds a positive attitude towards human interference? A.David Attenborough. B.Will Lawson. C.Paul Nicklen. D.Kathryn Shaw. 【3】Which of the following best explains the word “gutwrenching” underlined in Paragraph 6? A.Making one confused. B.Making one heartbroken. C.Putting one in danger. D.Putting one in place. 【4】What can be the best title for the text? A.Necessity of Lending a Hand to Animals B.Protect Animals From Dying Out C.Human Interference on Dangerous Animals D.Help Animals in Trouble or Not |

My two and fouryearold boys love to win, whether they're racing their bikes down the sidewalk or just finishing their snacks. It's true that those with high status, from world leaders and prize winners to athletes and movie stars, are people we like and respect. A recent study published in Nature Human Behaviour showed that we seem to have an innate (天生的) preference for highranking people—but only if those people aren't hurtful toward others. Researchers showed toddlers (aged 21 to 31 months) a scene where two puppets (木偶) approached one another from opposite sides of a stage and one bowed to let the other pass first. Asked which puppet they liked better, 18 of the 21 toddlers in the experiment reached for the puppet who had been allowed to pass. Because respect from others is a marker of status, this suggests that children have a preference for those with a higher status — even before age three. However, the results were quite different when two puppets approached one another and one used force to knock the other down before continuing to the other side. In this case, 18 of the 21 toddlers reached for the one who was knocked down. As the researchers concluded, “When approaching others, very young children care not only who wins, but also how.” The previous experiment has shown that toddlers know about social status but this experiment went one step further by proving they have an obvious preference for high status. Since the participants were so young, this might even be an innate human preference. In a word, this new research suggests that young children appreciate people who do well while at the same time doing good to others. So, when my four year old thinks that he has to get his shoes on first, I'll keep reminding him that helping his brother so they both finish faster is what winning is all about. 【1】What do we tend to do according to the first paragraph? A.Seek challenges all the time. B.Admire highranking people. C.Take advantage of high status. D.Hurt others with offensive words. 【2】Why did toddlers prefer the puppet allowed to pass? A.It looked lovely. B.It behaved smartly. C.It seemed polite. D.It was respected. 【3】What can we infer from the latter study? A.People naturally dislike unkind behavior. B.Toddlers care little about high social status. C.Slower people are better loved by toddlers. D.Being helpful contributes to being supported. 【4】What should we do when we encourage children to win? A.Instruct them to use proper and creative ways. B.Advise them to be as hardworking as possible. C.Remind them to be considerate to other people. D.Tell them to try to cooperate with someone else. |

How did we get the alphabet? It was a long process, covering thousands of years. The first people to write things down carved symbols onto rocks or shells. These symbols represented people or things. These people who lived a long time ago had simple lives with simple needs. One of the most basic needs was food. Before the introduction of agriculture, people were called HunterGatherers because they hunted animals and gathered nuts and berries for food. To tell each other about how to hunt animals or where to find them, these people drew on cave walls or on animal hides. Soon, people were growing their own crops. They were also using a system of symbols to stand for people, places and things. The best ancient example of this was found in Egypt, where hieroglyphs (象形字) were used. These people believed in many different gods. Each god had its own symbol. Symbols were also used to stand for water, buildings, food, and other parts of life. But these picture drawings and hieroglyphs represented whole words, not just sounds. How did we get an alphabet? Recent research suggests that the idea of an alphabet was first used in Egypt about 1900 BC. Civilizations that traded with or fought against Egypt were exposed to this alphabet, and the idea spread. The ancient Greeks adapted this alphabet and created their own. The ancient Romans polished it up to a state almost like our modern alphabet. The idea of stringing letters together to make words was born. You can see by looking at letters from the Roman alphabet that these letters survive almost unchanged in our modern English alphabet. This was the case in the Western world. Actually, a similar thing also happened in the East. You can see many examples in such areas’ language development. 【1】Why did HunterGatherers use drawings? A.To assist them in searching for food. B.To put a series of symbols into a system. C.To warn their companions to hide safely. D.To record some methods of growing crops. 【2】What does the development of the alphabet reflect? A.The difficulties ancient people have learning languages. B.The different kinds of religious beliefs in the same god. C.The poor living conditions and agricultural development. D.The needs of ancient people to survive and communicate. 【3】How did the ancient Romans influence the alphabet? A.They made improvements to it. B.They created it all by themselves. C.They managed to keep it unchanged. D.They turned it into the modern one. 【4】What will the author probably write about next? A.The effects of the alphabet on global languages. B.Why the alphabet grew better in Western world. C.How the alphabet appeared in the Eastern world. D.A number of examples of language evolution. |

Freshwater mussels(贻贝) are critical to their larger ecosystems and the world around them, They create habitat for other species, like freshwater coral reefs, and help maintain the structure and rigidity of the waterways they call home. 【1】 Nearly three-quarters of NorthAmerica's roughly 300 native mussel species are endangered, at risk, or of danger. Dozens are already extinct. 【2】 For decades, freshwater mussels were over harvested for their shells.Before the age of plastic,they were collected and grown by the millions to satisfy commercial demand for buttons, Even more damaging was the spread of human development and environmental degradation.Rivers were dammed for power.Streams were diverted (使绕道) for agriculture. 【3】 All this continues today, endangering far more than freshwater mussels.A recent report by the United Nations found that human practices have put roughly 1 million species at risk of extinction,many within decades. The species-specifc nature of the die-off suggests another cause：disease.The scientists have found a novel virus and a bacterium that are “statistically associated” with the dying mussels compared with control groups, but nobody is willing yet to identify which is the cause. 【4】 Are the mussels dying because they're filled with virus and bacteria?Or are they full of virus and bacteria because they're dying? 【5】 There are a million things it could be! Nature is so complex.Biology is so complex.We do not understand how important somethings are until they're gone. A.Humans are the primary cause. B.There's still too much uncertainty. C.Wetlands were paved for housing D.Are there anymore causes besides over harvesting? E.But they are one of most endangered species on the planet. F.On the other hand, they are the most important species in the ecosystem. G.Is there an environmental cause driving it, such as drought or climate change? |
