Tanzania Tarangire is a national park inTanzania. The park itself covers an area of around 2， 850 square kilometres, making it the sixth largest park of its kind in the country. I recently visited it to see what it was like.

One of the first sightings upon entering the park I found was a huge group of elephants. Our guide told us Tarangire was probably the best place inTanzaniato find large groups of elephants. We continued to watch the elephants as they stood under trees and scratched (搔)themselves against the trees to hit the spot of an itch(癢）.

To the right of the elephant group, we noticed a big tree. Our guide informed us that this was a baobab tree and that Tarangire was one of the best national parks in Africa to see so many baobab trees.

As we continued our drive through the park, we finally reached a watering hole. Our guide warned us there were lions all around us. Most of them were rest?ing in the shade under bushes, but there was one that was drinking from the watering hole directly in front of us. We then noticed there were a couple of fresh zebra corpses (尸體)—-it seemed as if the resting lions had killed them ！

Our final big sighting was one that none of us were expecting to see ！ We pulled over to where there was a large gathering of cars, with a sleeping leopard there！ We took photos happily and excitedly and observed its surprising body before returning to our hotel as it was getting late.

So I hope you enjoyed my description of Tarangire,

and that I've inspired you to add this amazing park to

your very ownTanzaniatravel plan.

A [2015 •河北教學(xué)質(zhì)量檢測(cè)]

Monty Hempel is a professor of environmental science at the University of Redlands in California. He studies ecologi?cal literacy―or eco-literacy, for short. Eco-literacy is the a-bility to think about and understand the natural processes that make life possible.

Monty Hempel says eco-literacy gives people knowledge about environmental problems. But he says it does not always work to get them to change their behaviour.

Mr Hempel wrote part of the Worldwatch Institute's lat?est State of the World report. He says in his article, "Some people think that eco-literacy is just a green form of science literacy. And what I have tried to ask is whether that's e-nough. In other words, what an ecology-literate person needs to know might include things like the cycles and the flows, the energy systems, all of those kind of things that we would call the science of ecology.，，

"That doesn't seem to lead to action to protect our envi?ronment―to protect our life-support system to the level that we need to. Just because that we know a lot about the envi?ronment doesn't mean that we actually act to save it. After all, actions speak louder than knowledge.，，

He adds that people may not be very worried about envi?ronmental problems if they seem far away. "Some people call it psychological distance. A lot of climate issues are worse in the Arctic and most of us don't spend time in the Arctic. And so, there's a certain distance. But there's also a distance that's happening in the world as it urbanizes―people spend?ing more time in front of screens and less time out in nature. We become, if you will, disconnected from the natural sys?tems that used to be the key to success for a human being.，，

To help children discover the wonders of nature, he adds that children should learn about nature in school. But he also points out we have a high mountain to climb from knowledge to action.

1,   From what Monty Hempel says in Paragraph 3， we learn
that_________ .

A.    knowledge on environmental protection is not enough

B.     knowledge that children learn at school is useless

D.    people with enough knowledge will protect the envi?ronment well

2.   What is especially important for environmental protection
in Mr Hempel's opinion?

A. Knowledge,

  B. Action. 

  C.  Green living

  D.  Psychological distance.

3.     Mr Hempel thinks people show no concern about some
environmental problems because____________ .

 

A.     they lack knowledge on environmental protection

B.     they have no awareness of environmental protection

C.     some environmental problems are not worse at all

D.     some environmental problems happened far away

4.     What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

 

A.     Experts think it is the best way to learn nature in school.

B.     Climbing a high mountain is a good way to exercise well.

C.     Changing people's attitude to environmental protection is hard.

B  [2015 '安慶市五校聯(lián)考]

Stop wasting your time thinking of reasons for your fail?ures. Instead, realize that the seeds of success were planted within you when you were born. Only you have the power to make those seeds grow.

The seeds and the power to grow them, are contained in the most awesome machine ever created: the human mind. Success is a choice and not a chance. You were born a win?ner. You were born rich. You can be a success if only you make the right choice.

You cannot be successful without first developing your self-confidence. Your level of self-confidence is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself, and thus over your life. People with low self-confi?dence are people who do not believe that they have any pow?er, or responsibility for their lives. They are always victims. They are leaves tossed(搖擺)by the winds of chance blown about with any sudden change in the weather.

You can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe you are responsible for everything that hap?pens in your life. Failures think that everything happens by accident and chance. Successful people realize that they are responsible.

Everything happens as a result of something. If you can identify(確定)the cause, you can control the effect. You are responsible for what you choose to think and believe. One generally rises to the level that one expects. You are respon?sible for setting your expectations. Your success is dependent upon your level of confidence.

In all areas of your life, whether they are financial? physical, or spiritual, you are responsible. Once you recog?nize this, accept it, and firmly believe it. You are on the road to success.

5.     People with low self-confidence are compared to leaves be?cause they .

 A.     don't have the power to face their lives

B.     are ready to change their minds

C.     can't exercise control over themselves

D.     are easily affected by windy weather

6.     Losers would think that ,

 

A.     they fail only because of bad luck

B.     they don't make efforts to succeed

C.     success is the result of hard work

D.     working hard will lead to success

7.     It can be inferred from the fifth paragraph that .

 

A.     what we believe in is the result of creative mind

B.     whether we will succeed depends on our attitudes

C.     setting our expectations is vital before taking action

D.     knowing cause and effect is the key to future success

8.     The last paragraph serves as .

 

A.     an introduction to another topic

B.     a comparison between two views

C.     the proof of the author's points

D.     the conclusion of the argument

A [2.015 "綏化市三校高三聯(lián)考]

While success is surely sweeter than failure, it seems failure is a far better teacher, and organizations that fail mis?erably often flourish (繁榮)more in the long run, according to a new study by Vinit Desai, assistant professor of manage?ment at the University of Colorado Denver Business School. Researchers have found that people missing their goals per?form much better in the long run. That is because they gain more knowledge from their failures than their successes and the lessons are more likely to stay longer in their minds.

"We found that the knowledge gained from success was often fleeting while knowledge from failure stuck around for years," said professor Desai, who led the study. "But compa?nies often ignore failure. Managers may fire people or turn over the whole workforce while they should treat the failure as a learning opportunity.，，

Professor Desai compared the flights of the space shuttle Atlantis and the Challenger. During the Atlantis' flight last year, a piece of insulation(絕緣體）broke off and damaged the left solid rocket booster (火箭助推器）but didn't influ?ence the programme. There was little investigation. The Challenger was launched next and another piece of insulation broke off. This time the shuttle and its seven-person crew were destroyed. The disaster led to a major investigation re?sulting in 29 changes to prevent future disasters.

The difference in response in the two cases came down to this ： Atlantis was considered a success and the Challenger a failure.

"Despite crowded skies, airlines are extremely reliable," he said. " The number of failures is extremely small. And past researches have shown that older airlines, those with more experience in failure, have a lower number of acci?dents. "

Professor Desai doesn't recommend finding out failure in order to learn. Instead, he advises organizations to analyse small failures to collect useful information rather than wait for major failures.

1. Why did experts pay little attention to the problem of At?lantis?

 A.     Because it worked perfectly.

B.     Because the right booster was still OK.

C.     Because nothing serious happened then.

D.     Because fewer people died in the flight.

2.Fewer accidents happen to older airlines in that . 

A. their planes couldn't fly high in the sky

 B.      they gained much from experience in failure

C.      their planes were often checked by the experts

D.     they were unpopular among passengers

 3.The passage is written mainly to_____________ .

 A.     show failure is a better teacher than success

B.     explain why the Challenger failed

C.     introduce something about Professor Desai

D.     tell managers how to achieve success

4.Which writing strategy is NOT used in developing the passage?

 A.     Giving definitions.

B.     Making comparisons.

C.     Analysing causes.

D.     Providing different examples.

The kitchen is one of the most important parts of the house. You may think that, since it's only used for cooking, there's no need to pay much attention to its colour. 9 Colour influences people's mood and creates an atmosphere, and surely you want to be in a good mood when you're cook-ing.

To decorate a kitchen, first look for a theme which will then influence the colour scheme (方案).The most common colours in kitchens are white, yellow and other light colours. Kitchens are usually painted in one colour to create a clean and neat look. 10  Also, since kitchens tend to have smaller windows, the light colours help make it brighter. Neutral colours such as grey and cream can also be used to create some contrast.

11 Start with your favourite colour, or two light col?ours that balance each other. Make sure that you test them thoroughly first so that you can be sure they'll actually work. For more adventurous kitchen owners? three colours next to each other can also work. But these need to be carefully chosen, because one wrong colour can ruin the whole look of the kitchen.

When the kitchen colour scheme has been chosen, other elements must be considered. Some important things, such as cupboards, in the kitchen can affect its look. Tiles (瓷磚) and the floor must be chosen to fit the look. 12

Last but not least, no matter what colour scheme you use, make sure that it really is the one you want. 13

A.     Many people want to decorate their kitchens with bright colours.

B.     Different colours have different effects on people's mood.

C.     Otherwise, get advice from other members of the family.

D.     The light colours make the room seem bigger than it is.

E.     There are different ways to create a colour scheme.

F.      In a word, kitchen decoration must go together with the colour scheme,

G.     But in fact, the colour schemes of kitchens are as impor?tant as those of any other rooms.

B [2015 •南京市、鹽城市高三年級(jí)第一次模擬〗According to figures released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) ， the UK has about 7. 7 million families with dependent children, of which 3. 7 million have just one child, compared to 3 million with two and 1. 1 million with three children or more. The number of families today with just one dependent child is now 47 per cent and will likely rise to more than 50 per cent in a decade. As the ONS confirms, "It ap?pears that families are getting smaller."

One obvious reason for this could be that women are put-ting off having children until they have established careers when they are bound to be less fertile. But it could just as well be a matter of choice. Parents must consider the rising cost of living, combined with economic uncertainty and an in?creasingly difficult job market. And this trend may continue growing as having an only child becomes more normal, which seems to be the mood on the mothers' online forum Mums-net, where one member announced that she "just wanted to start a positive thread about how fab it is to have an only child".

She had received 231 replies, overwhelmingly in the same upbeat spirit. Parents of only children insist there are plenty of benefits. Nicola Kelly, a writer and lecturer who grew up as an only child and is now a married mother of one child, says her 15-year-old son seems more grown-up in many ways than his contemporaries.

Not all products of single-child families are as keen to re-' peat the experience.  In a moving recent account journalist Janice Turner wrote about her own keenness to "squeeze out two sons just 22 months apart" as a reaction to her only-child upbringing.

She was placed on a pedestal by her doting parents, whom she punished with a "brattish, wilful" rejection of eve?rything they stood for. Desperate for a close friend she was repeatedly shattered by rejection and refers to her childhood as being "misery".

Writer and clinician Dr Dorothy Rowe, a member of the British Psychological Society ， says that we all interpret events in our own individual way and there are some children who no matter what their circumstances feel slighted, while other children see the advantages of their situation.

However, the one part of life that is unlikely to get any easier for only children is when they grow up and find them?selves looking after their own parents as they become older.

5.The passage is written with the purpose of___________ .

 A.     illustrating the strength and weakness of having an on?ly child

B.     analysing the reasons why having an only child be?comes popular

C.     presenting us with different opinions about having an only child

D.     guiding people to look at the same issue from different perspectives

6. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 mean?

 A.     Nearly half of families intend to have just one child.

B.     All people don't stand for the idea of having an only child.

C.     Some people fail to recognize the advantage of having an only child.

D.     People brought up in an only child family resist down?sizing the family.

7. From what Dr Dorothy Rowe said, we know that____________ .

 A.    journalist Janice Turner experienced a miserable child?hood

B.     she has a positive attitude towards Janice Turner's re?action

C.     it's necessary for us to look at the event from our own angle

D.    some are unable to make an objective assessment of their conditions

8.What can be inferred from the passage?

 A.     It's normal to see the imperfection in character in only children.

B.      Mumsnet is an online forum which promotes having an only child.

C.      Economic development plays a determining role in the family size.

D.     Only children will have difficulty in attending to their parents.

INSTANT COLOUR TV

In 1962 there was only one TV channel inSweden, and it broadcast in black and white. The station's tech?nical expert? Kjell Stensson, appeared on the news to announce that thanks to a newly developed technology, all viewers could now quickly and easily transform their existing sets to display colour reception. All they had to do was pull a nylon stocking over their TV screen, and they would begin to see their favourite shows in colour. Reportedly, hundreds of thousands of people were taken in.

Time talks. It speaks more plainly than words. Time 9 in many ways.

Consider the different parts of the day, for example. The time of the day when something is done can give a 10 meaning to the event. It is not a 11 to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, 12 he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that something is urgent and 13 immediate at?tention.

The same meaning is 14 telephone calls made after 11:00 pm. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he may think it is a 15 of life and death. The time chosen for the call 16 its importance.

 In social life, time plays a very 17 part. In the Unit?ed States, guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the 18 to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But this is not 19 in all coun?tries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered fool?ish to make an appointment too far 20 because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be 21 .

The meaning of time 22 from place to place in the world.  23 ， misunderstandings often arise between people from different cultures that 24 time differently. For ex?ample, promptness(準(zhǔn)時(shí)）is 25 greatly in American life. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as 26 or not fully responsible.
