Dear fellow students，
Today，we are here to make an appeal to everyone with the intention of raising our awareness of wildlife protection. As we know，many wild animals are facing the danger of extinction，dying out at an alarming rate.That is because their habitats are being threatened by human activities. For example，the development of cities，the use of insecticides，and the spread of pollution has made their living areas increasingly smaller. Many of the wild animals now are confronted with food crisis. Besides，we humans are killing off species just for their fur，skin，horns，teeth and meat.
Wildlife plays an important role in keeping the balance of nature，and the loss of any species will eventually affect and harm us humans. Therefore，immediate measures should be taken，such as prohibiting the killing of rare species and establishing more nature reserves.
Only by taking immediate measures can we ensure the preservation of wild animals. It is our collective responsibility to act now.

记叙文 采用整体医学救治动物 ★★★ 6 min P37
　　“I am not crazy，” says Dr William Farber，shortly after performing acupuncture (针灸) on a rabbit. “I am ahead of my time.” If he seems a little defensive，it might be because even some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unusual methods. But Farber is certain he’ll have the last laugh. He’s one of a small but growing number of American veterinarians (兽医) now practicing “holistic” medicine—combining traditional Western treatments with acupuncture，chiropractic (按摩疗法) and herbal medicine.
Farber，a graduate of Colorado State University，started out as a more conventional veterinarian. He became interested in alternative treatments 20 years ago when he suffered from terrible back pain. He tried muscle-relaxing drugs but found little relief. Then he tried acupuncture，an ancient Chinese practice，and was amazed that he improved after two or three treatments. What worked on a veterinarian seemed likely to work on his patients. So，after studying the techniques for a couple of years，he began offering them to pets.
Leigh Tindale’s dog Charlie had a serious heart condition. After Charlie had a heart attack，Tindale says，she was prepared to put him to sleep，but Farber’s treatments eased her dog’s suffering so much that she was able to keep him alive for an additional five months. And Priscilla Dewing reports that her horse，Nappy，“moves more easily and rides more comfortably” after a chiropractic adjustment.
Farber is certain that the holistic approach will grow more popular with time，and if the past is any indication，he may be right： Since 1982，membership in the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association has grown from 30 to over 700. “Sometimes it surprises me that it works so well，” he says. “I will do anything to help an animal. That’s my job.”
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了兽医William Farber在从针灸治疗中受益后，将中西医结合的整体疗法应用于动物，并取得了初步成效。
(　　)1.What do some of Farber’s coworkers think of him
A.He’s odd. B.He’s strict.
C.He’s brave. D.He’s rude.
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“If he seems a little defensive，it might be because even some of his coworkers occasionally laugh at his unusual methods.”可知，Farber的同事们有时会嘲笑他不寻常的方法，他们认为他很奇怪。
A
(　　)2.Why did Farber decide to try acupuncture on pets
A.He was trained in it at university.
B.He was inspired by another veterinarian.
C.He benefited from it as a patient.
D.He wanted to save money for pet owners.
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Then he tried acupuncture，an ancient Chinese practice，and was amazed that he improved…So，after studying the techniques for a couple of years，he began offering them to pets.”可知，Farber作为患者从针灸中受益，这促使他决定尝试为宠物提供针灸治疗。
C
(　　)3.What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A.Steps of a chiropractic treatment. B.The complexity of veterinarians’ work.
C.Examples of rare animal diseases. D.The effectiveness of holistic medicine.
【解析】 段落大意题。通读第三段内容可知，本段主要讲述了两个例子，一个是Farber通过整体疗法帮助了患有严重心脏病的狗Charlie，另一个是马Nappy在接受脊椎按摩治疗后行动更容易，骑乘起来更为舒适。这些例子都是为了说明整体疗法的有效性。
D
(　　)4.Why does the author mention the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association
A.To prove Farber’s point. B.To emphasise its importance.
C.To praise veterinarians. D.To advocate animal protection.
【解析】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容可知，Farber认为整体疗法会越来越受欢迎，随后作者列举了美国综合兽医协会的会员已经从30个增加到700多个的例子。由此推知，提及美国整体兽医协会是为证明Farber的观点。

新闻报道 狮子的重新发现 ★★ 7 min P37
　　For years，illegal hunters hunted lions without mercy along the border between Chad and Cameroon in north-central Africa. They killed so many of the animals that wildlife conservationists consider lions to be extinct in the region. But over the last decade，the governments of both nations have been working together to protect the area’s vast grassland and the many animals living there.
Now，their efforts seem to be paying off. For the first time in 20 years，a lion has been spotted inside Chad’s Sena Oura National Park，located near the border with Cameroon. In February，a remote camera shot a photograph of a beautiful grown-up female lion that was clearly in great health，the non-profit Wildlife Conservation Society and the government of Chad revealed in a joint statement last week. In the image，which appears to have been taken at night，the big cat lay comfortably on the ground with her left paw (爪子) extended and her right paw bent towards her body.
They suspect this female crossed the border into Chad from Bouba Ndjida National Park in Cameroon，where overall lion numbers are on the rise. The two parks are near to one another，so it makes sense that lions would be returning to parts of their former range，including Sena Oura，according to the statement.
Though this female is the only lion in the photograph，she’s likely not alone. “This is hugely encouraging，because grown-up females are the foundation of any lion population，and they are not big wanderers. They inhabit areas that have prey (猎物) and are safe to raise their babies in，” says director of the Wildlife Conservation Society’s big cat programme，to BBC News.
The new photo has given wildlife officials a renewed sense of optimism about the future of lions in West and Central Africa，where their numbers have dropped by roughly 66 percent since the early 1990s. Lions that inhabit this region are genetically different from other groups，so their reappearance is especially valuable，according to the statement.
语篇解读：本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了多年来乍得和喀麦隆边境因非法捕猎导致狮子曾被认为已灭绝，近十年来两国政府合作保护，如今在乍得的Sena Oura国家公园20年来首次发现狮子，给该地区狮子种群未来带来希望。
(　　)5.What was the situation like along the border between Chad and Cameroon
A.No one illegally hunted wild animals there.
B.Lions there were once thought to be extinct.
C.No conservation methods were taken to stop killing animals.
D.The two governments failed to reach an agreement on wildlife protection.
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“They killed so many of the animals that wildlife conservationists consider lions to be extinct in the region.”可知，乍得和喀麦隆边境的狮子曾被认为已经灭绝。
B
(　　)6.What can be learnt about the lion caught by the camera
A.It was a healthy female one.
B.It was sensitive to the surroundings.
C.It was spotted on the Cameroon side.
D.It had been in the national park for 20 years.
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In February，a remote camera shot a photograph of a beautiful grown-up female lion that was clearly in great health”可知，相机拍到的是一只健康的成年母狮。
A
(　　)7.What might the future of lions there be like according to the last paragraph
A.Terrible. B.Promising.
C.Ambiguous. D.Debatable.
【解析】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The new photo has given wildlife officials a renewed sense of optimism about the future of lions in West and Central Africa”可推知，这一地区狮子的未来是充满希望的。
B
(　　)8.Why is the reappearance of lions in West and Central Africa valuable
A.Their population is large.
B.They are unlikely to wander away.
C.They are a genetically unique group.
D.Their hunting skills are incomparable.
【解析】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Lions that inhabit this region are genetically different from other groups，so their reappearance is especially valuable”可知，西非和中非狮子的重新出现很有价值是因为它们在基因上是独特的群体。

　　An exhibition at the Jiushi Art Museum in Shanghai is featuring artwork inspired by Go，or weiqi in Chinese，　24　 originated in China more than 4，000 years ago.
Go is one of 　25　 earliest binary-based (基于二元的) games. The movements of the black and white pieces reflect the basic ideas of Eastern philosophy，according to Tu Ningning，who is in charge of the exhibition.
“The exhibition brings together Go culture，cutting-edge technology and contemporary art，” says Tu. “We hope 　26　 (present) the rather abstract Go game and AI in a visual context，and initiate dialogues with minimalist art，conceptual art and expressionism.”
“In a Go game，each move should serve a long-term goal. You try to lead the opponent into your trap and force them to follow your ‘　27　 (guide)’ till they lose，” explains Wang Wei，a Go player among the visitors to the exhibition.
“The players’ personalities 　28　 (reveal) during the game，and one’s weaknesses are exposed to the opponent，” she adds. “A decent winner always 　29　 (try) to beat the opponent 　30　 no more than one or two points as a gesture (姿态) of respect for the other side.”
Tu says that the balance between the black and white pieces，the beauty in the 　31　 (strategy) placement of the pieces，　32　 the energy flow following each move inspired artists to create oil paintings，sculptures，　33　 (digital) generated pictures and silk-screen prints for the exhibition.
