Hummingbirds (蜂鸟) are a very important part of Mexico’s ecosystem(生态系统), but because of the ever-spreading city landscape(景观), they face all sorts of serious dangers. That’s where 73-year-old Catia Lattouf de Arida comes in. As a self-taught hummingbird care-taker, she spends most of her free time and resources to nursing the tiny birds back to health. Her home in Mexico City has become known as a hummingbird hospital
Catia’s story as a hummingbird nurse began in 2011, at a very difficult moment in her life. At that time, she focused on her battle with cancer(癌症) and fell into a depression(抑郁) . She was walking on the street one day when she noticed a hummingbird that had suffered a serious eye injury. The kindhearted woman took it home and named it Gucci. She managed(设法) to nurse Gucci back to health, but she said it was Gucci that saved her. Why Because the hummingbird managed to pull her out of the sadness and loneliness that had taken over her life.
Word of her success spread among Catia’s friends, and before long some of them began bringing her injured hummingbirds. She didn’t repulse them at all. She began to study the bird and their habits in order to better take care of them, and after 11 years of experience, the 73-year-old woman is considered an expert on hummingbirds.
In order to raise awareness of the difficult situation of hummingbirds in Mexico, Catia Lattouf de Arida started posting videos of the patients in her Mexico City apartment on social internet, and many of them became popular. That’s when the need for her nursing services really blew up. She has cared for hundreds of hummingbirds in her 11-year career, when she has had as many as 50 of them in her apartment at any one time. She spends pretty much all her time looking after the tiny birds.

The Masai(马赛人) are continually trying to keep their own ways in an increasingly modern world. They live along the border of Kenya and Tanzania in East Africa, moving their homes from time to time to follow their cattle, the source of their livelihood. They rely on their cattle in many parts of their life. They like drinking the cows’ milk.
They don’t kill their cattle for food. But if a cow is killed, the parts of its body are used to make containers, shoes, clothing, ropes, bed coverings and so on. Not all of the men have cows. The more cattle a man owns, the richer he is considered to be. A man who owns 50 or fewer cattle is considered poor. Rich men have a thousand or more. The cattle, though owned by the man, are considered to belong to the man’s entire family. The family names the cattle and can recognize each animal’s special voice.
The Masai men have become known as warriors(勇士), protecting their cattle against other wild animals. They wear their red long hair. Most women often take care of their children, cook food, clean clothes and make clothing at home. They also make necklaces dresses and headdresses. A few women can also become authorities once they are powerful enough. They speak a language called Maa.
The houses of Masai made from sticks and grass, which are held together with a mixture of mud, are not very firm or safe. These plain houses with some basic supplies are built in a circle and make up a Masai village. They are not meant to last long since the migration(迁徙) of the cow population means that the Masai move as well. In the meantime, in order to prevent animals from entering, they also form a wall of branches. The whole setup is to protect the cattle, which sleep at night in the middle of the village. They seem to live a natural and self-sufficient(自己自足的) life but lack modern civilisation.
28．What do we know about the Masai
A．They don’t move in their lives. B．They each have their own cows.
C．They don’t kill their cattle at all. D．They are heavily dependent on cattle.
29．What do most of the Masai women work as
A．Designers. B．Authorities. C．Housewives. D．Warriors.
30．Which word best describes Masai houses
A．Modern. B．Lasting C．Simple. D．Safe.
31．What can be the best title for the text
A．Africans: Living a Moving life
B．Africans: Brave People in the World
C．The Masai: Rich People in East Africa
D．The Masai: Maintaining a Traditional Lifestyle

Researchers concerned with space exploration(探索) say they have discovered new evidence(证据) that Mars once had a large northern ocean. The discovery adds to existing evidence that the ancient Mars had the right conditions to possibly support some form of life.
Today, any water on Mars is believed to be in the form of ice because of the planet’s extremely cold desert temperatures. But there is a rich amount of evidence suggesting that rivers, lakes and even oceans once existed on Mars. A study by the American space agency NASA suggested that about 4.3 billion years ago, Mars likely had an ocean that covered nearly half of Mars’ northern hemisphere(半球). Another NASA-supported study guessed that about 3 billion years ago, the climate in much of the planet’s northern hemisphere was very similar to today’s Earth. The study noted that at that time, Mars likely had a much thicker atmosphere than today and had an active northern ocean.
Two American researchers recently offer a set of maps to provide new environmental evidence of a large ancient ocean on Mars’ low-lying northern hemisphere. The team collected data from satellite(卫星) images and photos of Mars. They then combined them to create maps of the planet’s northern hemisphere. Using the maps, the researchers were able to piece together evidence of shorelines that sat at the edge of a huge body of water about 3.5 billion years ago.
The researchers published their findings in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets. Benjamin Cardenas, an assistant professor at The Penn State University, was a co-writer of the study. He said the study’s findings showed the possible ocean in that area of Mars was changeable and interesting. “It was dynamic (动态的) . The sea level rose significantly(显著地), ” he said. “Rocks were being deposited (沉积) along its basins at a fast rate. There was a lot of change happening here. ”Besides, Cardenas suggested the new study also provided useful information on Mars’ ancient climate and developmental history. “Based on these findings, we know there had to have been a period when it was warm enough and the atmosphere was thick enough to support this much liquid water at one time, ” he said.
32．How does the author develop paragraph 2
A．By drawing comparisons(对比). B．By giving examples.
C．By listing figures(数字). D．By asking questions.
33．What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about the researchers
A．How they found the evidence. B．Where they created maps.
C．Why they studied satellites. D．When they landed on Mars.
34．What did the new study find about Mars
A．It must have been always warm.
B．It might have had an active ocean.
C．The climate and sea level were unchangeable.
D．The atmosphere was too thin to support water.
35．Which section of a magazine is the text most probably taken from
A．Science. B．Photography. C．Literature. D．Farming.

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。
One day a cat appeared at our back door. My four-year-old brother Daniel and I were both surprised and quickly fell in love with the cat. All that afternoon, the three of us played together. In the evening, we begged our parents to let our new friend come inside. But Mom said, “This cat looks too clean and healthy to be homeless. He must have a home already. ”
However, the next day, the cat was still there. ”Yeah!” said Daniel. “He wants to be our cat!” It did seem so. He hung around here all day, playing with Daniel and me outside. That day, our parents decided to find his owner. They made “cat-found” leaflets (传单), with the cat’s picture and our phone number. We put up the leaflets around the neighborhood. The third day, I named him Alley, and our parents let us put some food out for him. The fourth day, to our excitement, our parents allowed us to bring him inside. Alley enjoyed staying with us.
Two weeks later, to our disappointment, a man appeared at our door holding our leaflet, Alley walked over to him and rubbed (摩擦) himself against the man’s leg. “I’m Johnson,” he announced, picking Alley up. “I see you’ve met my only roommate. He wandered away when I was out of town. Can I offer you some money for watching him ”
“No,” Dad said. “It was a pleasure to have him as our guest.” At the door, Mr. Johnson turned back and faced us kids. Seeing our tears, he said, “I’m sorry. I didn’t realize you kids had been good friends with my cat. I only live a few blocks away. If you two would like to visit my cat.” Daniel just ran away, crying. Mr. Johnson left his phone number and went away. Over his shoulder was Alley. Alley’s unreadable green eyes looked back at me all the way down the walk. For days, we missed Alley.
Then one day, I heard Daniel in our yard shouting, “Alley is back alone! He somehow has found his way here.” I was amazed.
注意：1. 续写词数应为 150 左右；2. 请按如下格式作答。
I hurried outside to the yard, followed by my dad.

One possible version:
I hurried outside to the yard, followed by my dad. Sure enough, Alley was there. My heart was wild with excitement. Then Dad said, “He can’t stay. He’s not ours.” Daniel and I both looked at him, holding back our tears. Later Dad called Mr. Johnson, asking him to pick Alley up. For the rest of the day, we played with him. Alley loved our company. When Mr. Johnson arrived at 8:00 pm, I had made a decision.
When Dad opened the door, I said to Mr. Johnson, “I think he wants to live with us.” “Sarah ...” Dad cut in. But Mr. Johnson nodded at me. He bent down, saying, “You’re right.” He put down a small box, in which were the cat’s toys and cat food. He added, “I just came by to bring you these.” He petted Alley and waved goodbye to his loved cat. It wasn’t long before Alley became a respected member of our family. It seemed that Mr. Johnson, I and also Alley had all made the right decision.

I hurried outside to the yard, followed by my dad. Sure enough, Alley was there. My heart was wild with excitement. Then Dad said, “He can’t stay. He’s not ours.” Daniel and I both looked at him, holding back our tears. Later Dad called Mr. Johnson, asking him to pick Alley up. For the rest of the day, we played with him. Alley loved our company. When Mr. Johnson arrived at 8:00 pm, I had made a decision.
When Dad opened the door, I said to Mr. Johnson, “I think he wants to live with us.” “Sarah ...” Dad cut in. But Mr. Johnson nodded at me. He bent down, saying, “You’re right.” He put down a small box, in which were the cat’s toys and cat food. He added, “I just came by to bring you these.” He petted Alley and waved goodbye to his loved cat. It wasn’t long before Alley became a respected member of our family. It seemed that Mr. Johnson, I and also Alley had all made the right decision.
