The Asian elephant has been respected for centuries and is still used today for ceremonies and religious purposes. It is respected, not only because it plays a role in Asian culture and religion, but also because it is a key biological species in the tropical forests of Asia.

The Asian elephant is the largest land mammal in Asian. It is smaller than the African elephant, with relatively smaller ears. Asian elephants have a single “finger” on the upper lip of the long trunk, while African elephants have a second on the lower tip. A number of adult male Asian elephants have no tooth, and the percentage of males carrying ivory(象牙）is different from only about 5% in Sri Lanka to 90% in south India. Asian elephants keep their ears in constant motion in order to free the heat they produce. The species is reported to have well-developed hearing, vision, and smell , and they are also fine swimmers.

Asian elephants prefer to convey something to form groups surrounding 6 to 7 related females that are led by the oldest female. Like African elephants, these groups occasionally join others to form herds, although these associations are relatively temporary.

More than two thirds of the day may be spent feeding on grasses, but large amounts of tree bark, roots, leaves and small stems are also eaten. Crops such as bananas, rice and sugar plants are favored foods. Besides, they need to drink at least twice a day so the source of water is quite important.

The Asian elephant used to live from modern Irap and Syria to the Yellow River in China at first, but it is now found only from India to Vietnam, with a tiny population in the extreme southwest of China’s Yunnan Province. More than 100,000 Asian elephants may have existed at the start of the 20th century. The population is estimated to have fallen by at least 50% over the last 60-75 years.

1.What can we learn from Paragraph2?

A.The Asian male elephant is the largest animal in the world.

B.The population of Asian male elephants with ivory varies by district.

C.The Asian elephant has two “fingers” on the lips of the long trunk.

D.Asian elephants continuously move their ears to warm themselves.

2.The Asian elephants are most likely to fed themselves______.

A. in a very large forest

B. in the field with leaves and stems

C. close to a river with grasses and leaves

D. on the hillsides with grasses and trees

3.What makes the author worried in the last paragraph?

A. That there are fewer and fewer Asian elephants.

B. That Asian elephants originally ranged more widely.

C. That Asian elephants may suffer some diseases.

D. That there was too much killing in the last century.

4.The passage introduces Asian elephants mainly in the aspects of ______.

a.the diet habit

b. the social structure

c. the life circle

d. the physical description

e. the skin color

f. the population and distribution

g. the cultural status

A. b-c-d-e-f B. c-d-e-f-g

C. a-b-c-d-f D. g-d-b-a-f

Lots of people buy books and products from Amazon, an online seller. They offer and pay over the Internet and the books are shipped through the mail or a delivery service like FedEx.

One day, people could get their Amazon deliveries from an “unmanned aerial vehicle”—a timely vehicle that looks like a toy helicopter. And instead of waiting days to get the parcel, it could be at the buyer’s home in half an hour or less. The company is working on a fleet of tiny vehicles they call “Prime Air”. The vehicles are also known as “octocopters”. On their website, Amazon says, “One day, Prime Air Vehicles will be as normal as seeing a mail trucks on the road today.”

The U.S.’s Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is working on safety regulations for unmanned flying vehicles like the Prime Air copters. Those regulations will make sure the copters are able to fly safely where they need to go. Once the FAA has put its rules in place, which could be as early as 2016, Amazon will be ready with its fleet of tiny flyers. The process could take as many as five years.

The new delivery service would likely be available only in the United States, at first. The copters the company is testing now can handle packages up to five pounds (2.3kg) and they have a range of 10 miles (16 kilometers).

Other companies are also looking at using unmanned flying vehicles to deliver their products. For instance, Domino’s Pizza in the U.K. released a video showing a “DomiCopter”, delivering a pizza. That video may have been a publicity stunt（噱頭）. In any case, just like Prime Air’s octocopters, the DomiCopters don’t have clearance（許可）to take off just yet.

1.For what purpose does Amazon want to use the Prime Air?

A. To predict the sales volume.

B. To check the delivery service.

C. To shorten the delivery period.

D. To remind people to order online.

2.What do we know from Amazon’s words in paragraph 2?

A. The Prime Air Vehicles will still travel on the road.

B. The Amazon’s delivery system needs to be improved.

C. The Prime Air Vehicles will be widely put into use soon.

D. The creation of the Prime Air Vehicles was inspired by the mail trucks.

3.The Prime Air Vehicles will be regulated by the U.S.’s FAA for __________.

A. the design plans

B. the delivery price

C. the driver’s training

D. the safety assessment

4.What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us about the new delivery method?

A. Its safety B. Its delivery ability

C. Its appearance D. Its moving speed

5.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A. The new delivery service has attracted more customers.

B. The designer of Amazon has promoted “Prime Air” to other company.

C. Another unmanned vehicle has been put into use by a British pizza company.

D. Unmanned vehicles could possibly be developed and employed by more companies.

Most people I meet want to develop more harmonious and satisfying relationships. But we may not realize that this can only be achieved by partnering with two new and strange allies(盟友)：uncertainty and confusion. Most of us aren’t trained to like confusion or to admit we feel hesitant and uncertain. In our schools and organizations, we place value on sounding certain and confident.

As life continues to speed up, I believe our changing world requires less certainty and far more curiosity. I’m not suggesting we let go of our beliefs, but that we become curious about what someone else believes. As we become open to the disturbing differences, sometimes we discover that another’s way of interpreting the world is actually essential to our survival.

For me, the first step in becoming curious is to admit that I’m not succeeding in figuring things out by myself. If my solutions don’t work as well as I’d like, I take these as signs that it’s time to begin asking others what they think. I try to become a conscious listener, actively listening for differences.

There are many ways to listen for differences. Lately, I’ve been listening for what surprises me. This isn’t easy — I’m accustomed to sitting there, nodding my head as someone voices his opinions. But when I notice what surprises me, I’m able to see my own views more clearly, including my assumptions.

If you’re willing to be disturbed and confused, I recommend you begin a conversation with someone who thinks differently from you. Listen for what’s different and what surprises you. Try to stop the voice of judgement or opinion and just listen. At the end, notice whether you’ve learned something new.

We have the opportunity many times a day to be the one who listens to others and the one who is curious rather than certain. When we listen with fewer judgements, we always develop better relationships with each other. It’s not differences that divide us. It’s our judgements that do. Curiosity and good listening bring us back together.

As I consider partnering with confusion and uncertainty, I’m learning that we don’t have to agree with each other in order to think well together. There is no need for us to be joined at the head. We are already joined by our hearts.

1.According to the passage, when communicating with others, most of us try to behave____.

A. hesitantly and confusedly

B. honestly and harmoniously

C. responsibly and actively

D. confidently and convincingly

2.According to the author, in order to cope with our changing world, we should ______.

A. reconsider traditional beliefs before accepting them.

B. learn to interpret other people’s behavior.

C. become more curious about other people’s opinions.

D. try to develop more harmonious relationships with others.

3.What does the passage advise you to do when you hear different ideas?

A. We should let go of our beliefs.

B. We should admit that we are not succeeding in figuring out things.

C. We should be accustomed to sitting there and listening.

D. We should listen and find out the valuable points

69. 4.What do the underlined sentences in the passage imply?

A. We should listen more and judge less.

B. We should make decisions based on sound judgement.

C. Differences among people separate them.

D. It is important to seek common ground and reserve differences.

5.Which of the following best describes the author’s attitude to uncertainty and confusion?

A. Favorable. B. Resistant. C. Curious. D. Doubtful.
