There are hundreds of great national nature reserves in China. Now feast your eyes on the following amazing ones.
Qinghai Lake National Nature Reserve
Qinghai Lake, China’s largest saltwater lake in Qinghai Province, is a key body of water for lots of animals and birds. As an important stopover, migratory birds (候鸟) would rest in this area during their movement trip every year. The reserve became a national nature reserve in the year of 1997.
Bayanbulak National Nature Reserve
The only Bayanbulak Wetland, in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, is at the foot of Tianshan Mountains, which makes itself suitable for migratory birds. Bayanbulak means “rich spring water” in Mongolian, meaning that the area is rich in water. Every year, swans (天鹅) from different places fly here for nesting, which became a national swan reserve in 1986.
Rongcheng Swan National Nature Reserve
As one of the largest wintering places for swans in China, this reserve in Shandong Province mainly protects whooper swans (大天鹅), which make it different from other nature reserves. In 2007, it was changed into a national nature reserve. Now every year, thousands of whooper swans arrive here to spend the winter, making it an important resting and wintering place for themselves.
Sanya Coral Reef (珊瑚礁) National Marine Nature Reserve
This reserve focuses on protecting coral reefs and their living environment in Sanya City, Hainan Province. In 1990, it became a national nature reserve. This reserve is on the coast, so the area of the reserve has good water quality and many kinds of creatures,

In my opinion, my mother has the ability to do anything, especially chores such as ironing and cooking. However, teaching her how to use the Internet is as frustrating as untangling (解开) wires.
Once, my mother came to me to ask for help on how to find a recipe for all-beef Lasagna. I gave her very simple verbal instructions—go to the home page of a particular search engine and type in “recipe for all-beef Lasagna.” Fifteen minutes later, she came to me, telling me that she was unable to find the Internet icon. I went over to the computer and pointed out the icon to her.
Another fifteen minutes went by when I felt a tap on my shoulder. This time, my mother said that she was unable to search for the particular recipe. Gritting (咬) my teeth, I walked to her room again. I saw that she had typed “all beef La saga” instead. With frustrated strokes, I keyed in the correct spelling.
Yet another fifteen minutes went by again when my mother gingerly tapped my shoulder. I stormed next door without bothering to hide my frustration. The main page of the website had not shifted one bit. I then realized that she did not know how to scroll(滚动屏幕) down the page. What had initially seemed like an easy task was turning out to be an intense one.
To avoid being disturbed again, I decided to find the recipe for her. Without a word, I rapidly downloaded a few recipes, printed them out and passed them to my mother. However, seeing her embarrassment, I began to regret my impatience.
At that moment, memories flashed through my mind. When I was young, my mother endured my endless questions, enlightening me with much patience. Now that I am older, the roles slowly reverse. As my mother may increasingly need my help, shouldn’t I rethink how to respond to her needs
24. Why does the author gave her mother very simple instructions at first
A. Because she was an impatient person.
B. Because she didn’t want to be disturbed.
C. Because she wanted to make them easy to follow.
D. Because she thought it was an easy task to do.
25. How did the author’s mother feel when she got the recipes
A. Delighted. B. Embarrassed. C. Frustrated. D. Impatient.
26. Which of the following is probably the end of the story
A. The author becomes more willing to help her mother.
B. The author’s mother becomes more patient to her.
C. The author’s mother doesn’t turn to her for help any more.
D. The author learns more recipes with her mother.
27. What can be a suitable title for this text
A. It’s never too old to learn. B. Action speaks louder than words.
C. Patience is the mother of success. D. Understanding means standing in other’s shoes.
【答案】24. D 25. B 26. A 27. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要描述了母亲因不熟悉电脑而屡次向我求助，而我对她却越来越没有耐心，最后我终于意识到了自己的问题所在。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段的“What had initially seemed like an easy task was turning out to be an intense one.(最初看起来是一项简单的任务，结果却变成了一项艰巨的任务)”可知，一开始作者只给妈妈非常简单的指导是因为作者认为在网上查看菜谱是非常简单的人物。故选D。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“However, seeing her embarrassment, I began to regret my impatience.”（然而，看到她的尴尬，我开始后悔我的不耐烦）可知，在作者拿到菜谱之后，妈妈感到非常的尴尬。故选B。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“At that moment, memories flashed through my mind. When I was young, my mother endured my endless questions, enlightening me with much patience. Now that I am older, the roles slowly reverse. As my mother may increasingly need my help, shouldn’t I rethink how to respond to her needs ”（那一刻，回忆在我的脑海中闪过。在我小的时候，母亲忍受着我没完没了的问题，耐心地启发着我。现在我长大了，角色慢慢颠倒了。我的母亲可能越来越需要我的帮助，难道我不应该重新考虑如何回应她的需求吗 ）可知，作者后悔自己对母亲不耐烦的态度，想到自己小时候被妈妈耐心地对待，由此判断，作者接下来会更加耐心地对待妈妈，更愿意帮助自己的妈妈。故选A。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。文章第一段到第五段讲述了作者母亲因不熟悉电脑而屡次向我求助，而我对她却越来越没有耐心，最后一段提到作者回想小时候母亲对待自己的耐心，后悔自己不耐烦的态度，从而认为自己要改变自己的态度，要站在母亲的角度上考虑她的需求。D项“理解意味着站在别人的立场上。”符合文意。故选D。
C
Bred to be sweeter, today’s cherries, bananas and apples taste different than they used to but not necessarily better. Among fruit farmers, the word “quality” is now routinely used as a standard for “high in sugar”, though firmness, color and size are also considerations. In a recent study about ways to enhance the sweetness of fruit using “molecular (分子的) approaches”, a group of plant scientists wrote that, in general, the sugar content of many fruits are now higher than before owing to continuous selection and breeding. Modern apple varieties, the scientists stressed, were on average sweeter than older ones.
The sweetness of fruit depends not just on how it is bred but also on growing conditions, yield and harvest. The lead researcher, Sugiura, said, “If you could taste an apple harvested 30 years ago, you would feel the difference.” He believed that modern apples are picked so early that even if they are bred for sweetness, they often don’t develop their full character. The fragrance never develops in fruit that is harvested too early.
Jim Cooper, an apple farmer in England, is regretful to admit the fact that many people will never taste the “strawberry hint” in a really ripe Pearmain, a type of heritage apple. In a way, the rise of consistently sweeter fruit in our lifetimes has been a victory of plant breeding. After all, it’s a rare person who would seek out bitter grapes if they could have sweet ones instead.
But the sweetness of modern fruit is not without its problems, especially for people with diabetes (糖尿病), who have to reduce their intake of higher-sugar fruits. Fruit that is bred sweeter also tends to be lower in the chemicals that make it healthy. Considering health, maybe the real problem with modern fruit is that it has become yet another sweet thing in a world with sugar. Even grapefruits, which used to be quite bitter, are sometimes now as sweet as oranges. If you’ve never tasted a sour cherry, how can you fully appreciate a sweet one
28. In what aspect is many fruits different from before
A. Bright color. B. Soft skin. C. Sugar content. D. High yield.
29. Why did Sugiura express discontent with the present fruits
A. They are bred too early. B. They are losing a good flavor.
C. They taste so sweet. D. They need a higher yield.
30. What is Cooper’s attitude towards modern fruit breeding
A. Critical. B. Ambiguous. C. Favorable. D. Uncaring.
31. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph
A. The sweetness of fruits will cause health issues.
B. It’s a wise choice to breed fruits for sweetness.
C. Breeding sweet fruits improves the quality of fruits.
D. Some fruits like grapes and cherries taste the same.
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. A 31. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了现在的樱桃、香蕉和苹果等水果相较以前味道不同的情况，并说明水果的甜味会导致健康问题。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Bred to be sweeter, today’s cherries, bananas and apples taste different than they used to but not necessarily better. (如今的樱桃、香蕉和苹果经过了更甜的培育，尝起来与过去不同，但并不一定更好。)”以及“Modern apple varieties, the scientists stressed, were on average sweeter than older ones. (科学家们强调，现代苹果品种平均比老苹果更甜。)”可知，现代苹果品种比老苹果更甜即现代水果的糖分含量不同以往。故选C项。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“He believed that modern apples are picked so early that even if they are bred for sweetness, they often don’t develop their full character. The fragrance never develops in fruit that is harvested too early. (他认为，现代苹果采摘得太早，即使它们是为了甜味而培育的，它们往往也没有发育出完整的特征。过早收获的果实永远不会散发出香味。)”可知，现代的苹果为了甜味而被培育甚至被采摘得太早，导致现代水果失去好味道，所以Sugiura表示不满意。故选B项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Jim Cooper, an apple farmer in England, is regretful to admit the fact that many people will never taste the “strawberry hint” in a really ripe Pearmain, a type of heritage apple. In a way, the rise of consistently sweeter fruit in our lifetimes has been a victory of plant breeding. (Jim Cooper是英国的一名苹果农，他很遗憾地承认，许多人永远尝不到真正成熟的一种传统苹果Pearmain的“草莓味”。在某种程度上，在我们的生活中不断出现的更甜的水果还是植物育种的胜利。)”可知，Cooper认为现代水果的培育让很多人永远尝不到真正的传统苹果的味道，因此其对现代水果育种的态度是否定的。A选项“Critical.( 批评的)”与其态度相符。故选A项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“But the sweetness of modern fruit is not without its problems, especially for people with diabetes (糖尿病), who have to reduce their intake of higher-sugar fruits. (但现代水果的甜味也不是没有问题，尤其是对糖尿病患者来说，他们必须减少高糖水果的摄入量。)”可知，现代水果的甜味对于一些糖尿病患者来说会导致他们的健康问题，故本段以此为例说明了水果的甜味会导致健康问题。A选项“The sweetness of fruits will cause health issues.(水果的甜味会引起健康问题。)”符合本段主旨。故选A项。
D
When scientists go to a forest to study monkeys and their habits and behaviors, how do they know who’s who
In the past, scientists had to make marks on each of the animals to distinguish them. But in the future, they may have a much easier way to tell them apart thanks to facial recognition technology.
A research team from China’s Northwest University is using facial recognition technology to identify thousands of snub-nosed monkeys that live on Qinling Mountain in Shaanxi province.
Similar to human facial recognition, the technology that is used to identify monkeys uses their facial features to create a database that includes every monkey, Xinhua reported. “When the system is fully developed, we can connect it with cameras set up in the mountains. The system will automatically recognize the monkeys, name them and analyze their behavior,” said Zhang He, a member of the research team. “For each snub-nosed monkey, we have 700 to 800 image samples, and the recognition success rate is 94 percent,” Zhang added.
“We used mobile phones and portable cameras with the monkeys in tests at distances ranging from about 3 to 10 meters,” said He Gang, a member of the research team and an associate professor in the College of Life Sciences at Northwest University. “There is no need to interfere with the monkeys. Such a method of sampling is clearly non-invasive.”
Compared to humans, facial recognition technology for monkeys is more complicated because of their hairier faces. The color of their hair causes them to blend into their environment. These factors make it harder for computers to identify them.
“Monkeys do not cooperate with researchers in the same way humans do. It is difficult to take high-quality pictures and videos of them, which are needed to improve the system,” said Li Baoguo, leader of the research team.
Currently, there are about 4,000 snub-nosed monkeys living on Qinling Mountain. The team’s goal is to successfully identify every monkey that lives there.
32. What problem do scientists face while studying monkeys according to the text
A. How to mark them. B. How to distinguish them.
C. How to understand their behavior. D. How to observe them clearly
33. What does the article tell us about facial recognition technology for monkeys
A. It is now widely adopted in China.
B. It works better than human facial recognition.
C. It will use monkeys’ behavior to create a database.
D. It can help scientists study monkeys without disturbing them.
34. According to the leader of the team, what is the difficulty in improving the system
A. Less cooperative monkeys.
B. Hard for computers to identify the monkeys.
C. photos and videos of high quality.
D. Too many monkeys to identify.
35. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the article
A. To introduce a new way to identify monkeys.
B. To show the importance of studying monkeys.
C. To compare different ways to identify monkeys.
D. To explain difficulties in developing a new system.
【答案】32. B 33. D 34. A 35. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了中国西北大学的一个研究团队开发了一个面部识别系统，利用该技术来识别和区分陕西秦岭里的数千只金丝猴。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“When scientists go to a forest to study monkeys and their habits and behaviors, how do they know who’s who (当科学家们去森林里研究猴子和它们的习惯和行为时，他们怎么知道谁是谁？)”可知，科学家在研究猴子的时候，遇到的最大的问题是如何区分猴子。故选B。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中的“There is no need to interfere with the monkeys. Such a method of sampling is clearly non-invasive.(没有必要干扰猴子。这种取样方法显然是非侵入性的。)”可知，猴脸识别技术可以帮助科学家在不打扰猴子的情况下研究它们。故选D。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“‘Monkeys do not cooperate with researchers in the same way humans do. It is difficult to take high-quality pictures and videos of them, which are needed to improve the system,’ said Li Baoguo, leader of the research team.(‘猴子不像人类那样与研究人员合作。很难拍摄高质量的猴子照片和视频，这是改进系统所必需的，’研究小组组长李保国说。)”可知，改进系统的难处在于猴子不配合。故选A。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第二段中的“But in the future, they may have a much easier way to tell them apart thanks to facial recognition technology.(但在未来，由于面部识别技术，他们可能会有一种更容易的方法来区分他们。)”和第三段“A research team from China’s Northwest University is using facial recognition technology to identify thousands of snub-nosed monkeys that live on Qinling Mountain in Shaanxi province.(中国西北大学的一个研究小组正在使用面部识别技术来识别生活在陕西省秦岭的数千只金丝猴。)”可知，本文主要介绍了中国西北大学的一个研究小组开发的猴脸识别技术，用来识别和区分金丝猴，由此可推测出，作者写这篇文章的主要目的是介绍一种识别猴子的新方法。故选A。

【答案】 Should mobile phones be allowed at school
Nowadays mobile phones are becoming more and more popular among middle school students. But people have different opinions about whether mobile phones should be allowed at school or not.
There is no doubt that mobile phone does have its incomparable advantages such as bringing us convenience in getting the latest information and communicating with our parents and friends. However, the disadvantages of using mobile phones among the middle school students should never be ignored. First, students may get addicted to phones easily, especially playing on-line games. Second, spending too much time on phones has bad effect on their study, which may also influence their sleep and does harm to their eyesight. Third, students who spend too much time on their phone are more likely to get depressed for the lack of face-to-face communication.
All in all, middle school students have a weak self-control. Mobile phone does more harm than good, so it shouldn’t be allowed at school.

67. 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。
The school I went to had a tradition carried out every year during the eighth-grade graduation: a beautiful gold and green jacket (the school colors)was awarded to the student who had maintained the highest grades for eight years.
I was fourteen and in the eighth grade. I had been a straight-A student since the first grade and this last year had looked forward very much to owning that jacket. My family was so poor that, when I was six, I was given to my grandparents to raise. I couldn’t participate in sports at school because we couldn’t afford the fees; even though I was quite athletic, there would never be a school sports jacket for me. So, this one, the scholarship jacket, was my only chance.
One day in May, close to graduation, outside the history teacher’s classroom, I heard a fierce argument between the principal and my history teacher, Mr. Frank, about giving the scholarship jacket to Joann, whose father is on the Board and owns the only store in town. Frank angrily claimed that he would never lie or falsify(伪造) records.
The principal approached me tentatively: “Martha, there’s been a change in policy this year. The Board has decided to charge fifteen dollars for the scholarship jacket this year. So if you are unable to pay the fifteen dollars for the jacket it will be given to the next one in line. Staring at him in shock, I didn’t need to ask who that was.
”I’ll speak to my grandfather and let you know tomorrow, I gathered all the dignity. I cried on the walk home from the bus stop. I wanted that jacket so much. It represented eight years of hard work and expectation.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文一
Upon arriving home, I told my grandpa what had happened. A look of anxiety flashed across his face, his eyebrows knitted into a deep frown. I could see him struggling with the decision, knowing how much the jacket meant to me but also aware of our financial limitations. After a long silence, he said in a firm voice, “Martha, it’s not just a jacket; it’s a symbol of your hard work.” He reached into an old tin can he kept hidden under his bed, pulling out a few crumpled bills and some coins.” Take this,“ he placed the money in my hand.”You deserve that jacket more than anyone.“
The next day, the principal called me to his office. As I entered, I noticed his expression, a mixture of guilt and embarrassment. “Martha,” he began, “I need to apologize.” He paused, looking down at his desk before continuing,” Your history teacher, Mr. Frank, made a convincing argument about the unfairness of the situation. The Board agreed; the jacket should be awarded based on one’s academic performance, not on one’s ability to pay. “Relief and joy washed over me. My hard work hadn’t been in vain, and my grandfather’s sacrifice wasn’t needed. The scholarship jacket was truly mine, a symbol of my perseverance and the unyielding support of my family.
范文二
Upon arriving home, I told my grandpa what had happened. He cleared his throat and asked seriously,” What does a scholarship jacket mean ” I told him the symbolic value of the jacket and emphasized how much it meant to me, almost with a begging tone. However, Grandpa wasn’t sold and instead replied with a firm no. “Then if you pay for it, Martha, it’s not a scholarship jacket, is it Tell your principal I will not pay the fifteen dollars.” Disappointed and frustrated, I rushed to my bedroom and locked myself sobbing for a long time.
The next day, the principal called me to his office. I told him Grandfather was not willing to pay, “He said if I had to pay for it, it wouldn’t be a scholarship jacket. I guess you’ll just have to give it to Joann.” I could feel my heart pounding wildly and something bitter coming up in my mouth. He sighed loudly and watched me, biting his lip. “Okay. We’ll make an exception in your case. I’ll tell the Board; you’ll get your jacket. “I could hardly believe my ears.” Thank you, sir! “I dashed back home to tell Grandpa the good news. He somehow didn’t seem much surprised; he just gave me a pat on the shoulder and a smile,” Now that’s a worthy scholarship jacket.”

There are hundreds of great national nature reserves in China. Now feast your eyes on the following amazing ones.
Qinghai Lake National Nature Reserve
Qinghai Lake, China’s largest saltwater lake in Qinghai Province, is a key body of water for lots of animals and birds. As an important stopover, migratory birds (候鸟) would rest in this area during their movement trip every year. The reserve became a national nature reserve in the year of 1997.
Bayanbulak National Nature Reserve
The only Bayanbulak Wetland, in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, is at the foot of Tianshan Mountains, which makes itself suitable for migratory birds.

Every year, swans (天鹅) from different places fly here for nesting, which became a national swan reserve in 1986.
Rongcheng Swan National Nature Reserve
As one of the largest wintering places for swans in China, this reserve in Shandong Province mainly protects whooper swans (大天鹅), which make it different from other nature reserves. In 2007, it was changed into a national nature reserve. Now every year, thousands of whooper swans arrive here to spend the winter, making it an important resting and wintering place for themselves.
Sanya Coral Reef (珊瑚礁) National Marine Nature Reserve

In my opinion, my mother has the ability to do anything, especially chores such as ironing and cooking. However, teaching her how to use the Internet is as frustrating as untangling (解开) wires.
Once, my mother came to me to ask for help on how to find a recipe for all-beef Lasagna. I gave her very simple verbal instructions—go to the home page of a particular search engine and type in “recipe for all-beef Lasagna.” Fifteen minutes later, she came to me, telling me that she was unable to find the Internet icon. I went over to the computer and pointed out the icon to her.
Another fifteen minutes went by when I felt a tap on my shoulder. This time, my mother said that she was unable to search for the particular recipe. Gritting (咬) my teeth, I walked to her room again. I saw that she had typed “all beef La saga” instead. With frustrated strokes, I keyed in the correct spelling.
Yet another fifteen minutes went by again when my mother gingerly tapped my shoulder. I stormed next door without bothering to hide my frustration. The main page of the website had not shifted one bit. I then realized that she did not know how to scroll(滚动屏幕) down the page. What had initially seemed like an easy task was turning out to be an intense one.
To avoid being disturbed again, I decided to find the recipe for her. Without a word, I rapidly downloaded a few recipes, printed them out and passed them to my mother. However, seeing her embarrassment, I began to regret my impatience.
At that moment, memories flashed through my mind. When I was young, my mother endured my endless questions, enlightening me with much patience. Now that I am older, the roles slowly reverse. As my mother may increasingly need my help, shouldn’t I rethink how to respond to her needs
24. Why does the author gave her mother very simple instructions at first
A. Because she was an impatient person.
B. Because she didn’t want to be disturbed.
C. Because she wanted to make them easy to follow.
D. Because she thought it was an easy task to do.
25. How did the author’s mother feel when she got the recipes
A. Delighted. B. Embarrassed. C. Frustrated. D. Impatient.
26. Which of the following is probably the end of the story
A. The author becomes more willing to help her mother.
B. The author’s mother becomes more patient to her.
C. The author’s mother doesn’t turn to her for help any more.
D. The author learns more recipes with her mother.
27 What can be a suitable title for this text
A. It’s never too old to learn. B. Action speaks louder than words.
C. Patience is the mother of success. D. Understanding means standing in other’s shoes.

Bred to be sweeter, today’s cherries, bananas and apples taste different than they used to but not necessarily better. Among fruit farmers, the word “quality” is now routinely used as a standard for “high in sugar”, though firmness, color and size are also considerations. In a recent study about ways to enhance the sweetness of fruit using “molecular (分子的) approaches”, a group of plant scientists wrote that, in general, the sugar content of many fruits are now higher than before owing to continuous selection and breeding. Modern apple varieties, the scientists stressed, were on average sweeter than older ones.
The sweetness of fruit depends not just on how it is bred but also on growing conditions, yield and harvest. The lead researcher, Sugiura, said, “If you could taste an apple harvested 30 years ago, you would feel the difference.” He believed that modern apples are picked so early that even if they are bred for sweetness, they often don’t develop their full character. The fragrance never develops in fruit that is harvested too early.
Jim Cooper, an apple farmer in England, is regretful to admit the fact that many people will never taste the “strawberry hint” in a really ripe Pearmain, a type of heritage apple. In a way, the rise of consistently sweeter fruit in our lifetimes has been a victory of plant breeding. After all, it’s a rare person who would seek out bitter grapes if they could have sweet ones instead.
But the sweetness of modern fruit is not without its problems, especially for people with diabetes (糖尿病), who have to reduce their intake of higher-sugar fruits. Fruit that is bred sweeter also tends to be lower in the chemicals that make it healthy. Considering health, maybe the real problem with modern fruit is that it has become yet another sweet thing in a world with sugar. Even grapefruits, which used to be quite bitter, are sometimes now as sweet as oranges. If you’ve never tasted a sour cherry, how can you fully appreciate a sweet one
28. In what aspect is many fruits different from before
A. Bright color. B. Soft skin. C. Sugar content. D. High yield.
29. Why did Sugiura express discontent with the present fruits
A. They are bred too early. B. They are losing a good flavor.
C. They taste so sweet. D. They need a higher yield.
30. What is Cooper’s attitude towards modern fruit breeding
A. Critical. B. Ambiguous. C. Favorable. D. Uncaring.
31. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph
A. The sweetness of fruits will cause health issues.
B. It’s a wise choice to breed fruits for sweetness.
C. Breeding sweet fruits improves the quality of fruits.
D Some fruits like grapes and cherries taste the same.

When scientists go to a forest to study monkeys and their habits and behaviors, how do they know who’s who
In the past, scientists had to make marks on each of the animals to distinguish them. But in the future, they may have a much easier way to tell them apart thanks to facial recognition technology.
A research team from China’s Northwest University is using facial recognition technology to identify thousands of snub-nosed monkeys that live on Qinling Mountain in Shaanxi province.
Similar to human facial recognition, the technology that is used to identify monkeys uses their facial features to create a database that includes every monkey, Xinhua reported. “When the system is fully developed, we can connect it with cameras set up in the mountains. The system will automatically recognize the monkeys, name them and analyze their behavior,” said Zhang He, a member of the research team. “For each snub-nosed monkey, we have 700 to 800 image samples, and the recognition success rate is 94 percent,” Zhang added.
“We used mobile phones and portable cameras with the monkeys in tests at distances ranging from about 3 to 10 meters,” said He Gang, a member of the research team and an associate professor in the College of Life Sciences at Northwest University. “There is no need to interfere with the monkeys. Such a method of sampling is clearly non-invasive.”
Compared to humans, facial recognition technology for monkeys is more complicated because of their hairier faces. The color of their hair causes them to blend into their environment. These factors make it harder for computers to identify them.
“Monkeys do not cooperate with researchers in the same way humans do. It is difficult to take high-quality pictures and videos of them, which are needed to improve the system,” said Li Baoguo, leader of the research team.
Currently, there are about 4,000 snub-nosed monkeys living on Qinling Mountain. The team’s goal is to successfully identify every monkey that lives there.
32. What problem do scientists face while studying monkeys according to the text
A. How to mark them. B. How to distinguish them.
C. How to understand their behavior. D. How to observe them clearly
33. What does the article tell us about facial recognition technology for monkeys
A. It is now widely adopted in China.
B. It works better than human facial recognition.
C. It will use monkeys’ behavior to create a database.
D. It can help scientists study monkeys without disturbing them.
34. According to the leader of the team, what is the difficulty in improving the system
A. Less cooperative monkeys.
B. Hard for computers to identify the monkeys.
C. photos and videos of high quality.
D. Too many monkeys to identify.
35 What is the author’s main purpose in writing the article
A. To introduce a new way to identify monkeys.
B. To show the importance of studying monkeys.
C. To compare different ways to identify monkeys.
D. To explain difficulties in developing a new system.

The school I went to had a tradition carried out every year during the eighth-grade graduation: a beautiful gold and green jacket (the school colors)was awarded to the student who had maintained the highest grades for eight years.
I was fourteen and in the eighth grade. I had been a straight-A student since the first grade and this last year had looked forward very much to owning that jacket. My family was so poor that, when I was six, I was given to my grandparents to raise. I couldn’t participate in sports at school because we couldn’t afford the fees; even though I was quite athletic, there would never be a school sports jacket for me. So, this one, the scholarship jacket, was my only chance.
One day in May, close to graduation, outside the history teacher’s classroom, I heard a fierce argument between the principal and my history teacher, Mr. Frank, about giving the scholarship jacket to Joann, whose father is on the Board and owns the only store in town. Frank angrily claimed that he would never lie or falsify(伪造) records.
The principal approached me tentatively: “Martha, there’s been a change in policy this year. The Board has decided to charge fifteen dollars for the scholarship jacket this year. So if you are unable to pay the fifteen dollars for the jacket it will be given to the next one in line. Staring at him in shock, I didn’t need to ask who that was.
”I’ll speak to my grandfather and let you know tomorrow, I gathered all the dignity. I cried on the walk home from the bus stop. I wanted that jacket so much. It represented eight years of hard work and expectation.
