As a young girl growing up in France, Sarah Toumi dreamed of becoming a leader who could make the world a better place. Her passion to help others was awakened when, from the age of nine, she accompanied her Tunisian father to his birthplace in the east of the country during holidays. There she organized homework clubs and activities for children.
Toumi witnessed first-hand the destructive effect of desertification. “Within 10 years rich farmers became worse off, and in 10 years from now they will be poor. I wanted to stop the Sahara Desert in its tracks.” A decrease in average rainfall and an increase in the severity of droughts have led to an estimated 75 percent of Tunisia’s agricultural lands being threatened by desertification.
Toumi recognized that farming practices needed to change. She is confident that small land areas can bring large returns if farmers are able to adapt by planting sustainable crops, using new technologies for water treatment and focusing on natural products and fertilizers (肥料) rather than chemicals.
In 2012, Toumi continued her dream to fight the desert. She moved to Tunisia, and set up a programme named Acacias for All to put her sustainable farming philosophy into action, “I want to show young people in rural areas that they can create opportunities where they are. Nobody is better able to understand the impact of desertification and climate change than somebody who is living with no access to water.”
By September 2016, more than 130,000 acacia trees had been planted on 20 pilot farms, with farmers recording a 60 percent survival rate. Toumi estimates that some 3 million acacia trees are needed to protect Tunisia’s farmland. She expects to plant 1 million trees by 2028, In the next couple of years, Toumi hopes to extend the programme to Algeria and Morocco.
4. What fired Sarah Toumi’s passion to help others
A. Her experience in fighting against desertification.
B. Her childhood living with her family in France.
C. Her strong desire to become a leader to better the world.
D. Her holiday trips to her father’s birthplace in Tunisia.
5. What is the main cause of desertification in Tunisia
A. The rising amount of rainfall. B. The severe shortage of water.
C. The change of farming practices. D. The breakdown of rich farmers.
6. How did Sarah Toumi contribute to addressing desertification
A. By spreading the application of natural products and chemical fertilizers.
B. By encouraging the farmers to plant traditional crops.
C. By relocating the young from areas with no access to water to urban centres.
D. By promoting sustainable farming practices and initiating tree-planting programme,
7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To introduce Sarah Toumi’s efforts to hold back the Sahara.
B. To show the methods of protecting the plants in Africa.
C. To call on people to fight poverty in North Africa.
D. To stress the importance of extending the programme in Tunisia.
C
It was obvious with Pinocchio. Every time he told a lie his nose grew longer. But for the rest of us in real life, the result of telling lies isn’t so evident. Is it possible that there are unseen consequences to dishonesty
Since lies are carried by speech and speech originates in the brain, is it possible that telling lies results in changes in the brain that are not outwardly observable Psychologists Julia Lee and Ashley Hardin wanted to find out.
Drs. Lee and Hardin set up a series of studies to explore the question of dishonesty, with 250 pairs of individuals. In each pair, one was assigned (分派) the task of either lying or telling the truth. The other member of the pair was instructed to evaluate the emotions of the lying or truth-telling partner. Each of the partners was then assigned the task of evaluating the emotions of the other partner.
The research found that subjects who were asked to be dishonest were significantly worse at detecting the emotional state of their partners than those who told the truth. Surprisingly, the small, seemingly unimportant moments of dishonesty clouded an individual’s ability to read the emotions of another individual later on.
To determine how well the participants could read other people’s emotions, the researchers then had the subjects watch a series of short video clips. In the clips, actors expressed a wide range of emotions in their facial expressions, voices, and body languages. The participants were then asked to identify the emotional state of the actors. Once again, across all the experimental studies, the researchers consistently found that those who were tempted to, and likely did lie, ended up performing worse on the test of empathetic accuracy than those who didn’t lie.
We live in a world where businesses, social life, and personal relationships depend on the ability of individuals to interact well with other people. And to interact with them we often need to be able to determine their emotions. As most of us learned in kindergarten: it’s important to tell the truth!
8. What is the aim of the studies
A. To explore the motive for lying. B. To explain the Pinocchio Effect.
C. To test if lying causes brain changes. D. To teach people how to detect lies.
9. What does the underlined word “clouded” in Paragraph 4 mean
A. Improved. B. Cleared. C. Monitored. D. Weakened.
10. What were the participants asked to do in the studies
A. To learn body languages. B. To make faces.
C. To identify different emotions. D. To rate others’ performances.
11. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. The application of the study. B. The necessity of being honest.
C. The complexity of social interaction. D. The reasons for telling lies.
When hunters wiped out most fruit eating birds in the tropical forest of Lambir Hills National Park by the 1990s, the skies grew duller-and in a few years so did the forest. Without birds to spread their seeds, the diversity of fruit-producing plants declined, illuminating the critical importance of seed dispersal (分散传播) for ecosystem health. The movement of seeds across the landscape in animals` guts (肠道) is a “glue that keeps ecological communities together,” says Jordi Bascompte, an ecologist at the University of Zurich.
However, a team states that at least one-third of European plant species could be in trouble because more than one-third of seed-dispersing animal species are ranked as threatened by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) or are decreasing in numbers, which could harm the ability of plants to expand their range to cope with climate change or recover after wildfire. For example, the garden warbler, a common migratory bird that spreads the seeds of 60 plant species, is declining across Europe.
Although the study does not detail how the crisis is affecting ecosystems in that IUCN assessments haven’t yet been conducted for 67% of the plant species, researchers did find that more than 60% of the plants had five or fewer animals that eat and distribute their seeds, which could make them particularly sensitive to the decline or disappearance of any of these critical seed dispersers.
And some plants do seem to be in big trouble. The authors came up with a list of nearly 80 “very high concern” interactions, in which both the plant and the animal are threatened or declining. “We need to make sure we’re looking after the dispersers that are doing a lot of the work,” Andy says, “Despite the massive data set, much remains unknown about the extent of the problem. It’s a mystery which animals move the seeds of some rare plants, for instance - in spite of centuries of natural history observations in Europe.” Even for common, well-studied species, it’s not always apparent which dispersers are most important and whether other species might take over if they were to decline or disappear. There are some similar cases on other continents, too, including North America. But the picture there is even less clear.
12. What can be inferred from Jordi Bascompte's words
A. All seeds rely on animals’ guts to get dispersed.
B. The spread of seeds plays a vital role in ecosystem health.
C. Animals carry the seeds to keep ecological communities together.
D The movement of animals is more important than that of seeds for ecological balance.
13. Which of the following techniques is NOT used to make the article more persuasive
A. making comparisons B. listing numbers
C. giving examples D. citing views
14. Which opinion will Andy agree with
A. What matters most is to find out all the dispersers.
B. European scientists have done a great job for centuries.
C. It is still unknown which dispersers certain plants are missing.
D. Dispersers need a large amount of work to be looked after well.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Some plants are facing the danger of dying out.
B. Seed disperser declines threaten Europe’s plants.
C. Dispersing animal species are ranked as threatened.
D. Ecosystem health relies on seed dispersers in many aspects.

Mia sat alone on the bus. Her older sister, Nina, was one seat ahead, acting as if this was the best day ever. But for Mia, it was the worst. It was the last day of swimming lessons. Test Day.
“If I pass my test, I can sign up for Junior Lifeguarding over the summer,” Mia heard Nina telling her friend Julia. “You’ re the best swimmer in the class, Nina,” Julia said. “There’s just no way you wouldn’t pass.” Mia angrily kicked the back of their seat with her foot. “I thought sisters were supposed to be there for each other,” she whispered.
An hour later, she held onto the edge of the pool, shivering (瑟瑟发抖). “For the last part of the test, you’ll all be swimming the width of the pool using the crawl stroke (自由泳),” the instructor, Michael, told the class. “Can we swim in the shallow end ” Mia asked. “Nope,” Michael said. “To pass Level 4, it has to be the deep end.” Mia was anxious. She didn’t know if she could swim all the way across without touching the bottom. “I’ll be watching from the other side,” Michael said. “Ready ” No! Mia thought. But Michael put the whistle to his lips and blew. Mia took a deep breath and pushed off. And Nina swam as light as the kickboard floating and passed the test very soon. But where was Mia
After a minute, Nina spotted her sister crossing the pool. Mia was way behind the others, and Nina could see why. For one thing, she lifted her whole head out of the water to breathe, instead of turning it to the side. That was a waste of energy. Even worse, she wasn’t swimming straight.
When Mia stopped to check her position, her heart sank. Only halfway across! Some kids in her class were already at the wall, laughing and talking. Michael was bending over to talk to one of the kids. He didn’t see her. “Better keep going,” she thought. But she was tired.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Nina kept her eyes on her sister’s slow progress.

Michael was about to jump in to help her when Mia felt strong arms holding her from behind.

【答案】范文
Nina kept her eyes on her sister’s slow progress. Stroke, stroke, breathe. Three-fourths of the way across, Mia stopped again. As Nina watched, Mia’ s head dipped briefly underwater before it resurfaced. Uh-oh, thought Nina. Her sister was in trouble, and she had to help. She kicked off the bottom and started towards Mia. Mia swallowed a mouthful of water and coughed. She felt as if she’ d been swimming for hours. If only someone would see she was too tired to keep going. She scanned the edge of the pool for Michael. This time, he saw her. His eyes narrowed.
Michael was about to jump in to help her when Mia felt strong arms holding her from behind. “Lie back,” her sister’s voice said. “I’ve got you.” Mia pulled the towel tight around her shoulders. “You know,” Nina said, “next time we go to the pool, I could give you some tips. I’ll teach you the right way to breathe so you don’t get so tired. With a little more practice, I know you can pass Level 4.” “You’ll make a good lifeguard someday,” Mia said. Nina smiled. “Really ” Mia nodded. “Yeah. And you’re already a good sister.”
