As we walk along the narrow path to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the thin air makes us pause to rest often. But soon, we see something amazing: a group of Tibetan antelopes with white fur, eating quietly on the grassland. This is not a mere sightseeing trip — our mission is to study these endangered creatures and witness the untiring (不懈的) efforts to safeguard them.
Native to the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau, Tibetan antelopes are a symbol of the region’s fragile ecosystem. Yet their existence hangs by a thread. In the 1990s, illegal poaching for their soft wool, which could be sold at high prices. What’s worse, new roads and buildings destroyed their living habitats, and climate change brought more droughts. In just 20 years, their number dropped by over 70%, and they almost died out.
Our guide, Zhaxi, a lifelong resident of Changtang, embodies the spirit of conservation. He has worked as a protector at the Changtang National Nature Reserve for more than 30 years. Every day, he walks across the big grasslands, facing cold weather and difficult land to stop hunters. “These antelopes are not just animals — they are part of the plateau’s soul,” he says firmly. “If we lose them, the plateau will be in trouble, and we will suffer too.”
Thanks to strict national laws, help from other countries, and the hard work of people like Zhaxi, things have gotten better. Illegal hunting has been greatly reduced, and now there are over 70,000 Tibetan antelopes. But Zhaxi warns us: “Climate change and human activities are still threats. Protecting wildlife is not an option — it’s our duty to future generations.”
4. Why did the writer go to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau
A．To enjoy the beautiful scenery
B．To study Tibetan antelopes and their protection
C．To meet the guide Zhaxi
D．To build new roads in the area
5. What is the major threat that caused the sharp decline (下降) of Tibetan antelopes in the 1990s
A．Climate change leading to droughts
B．Habitat fragmentation from infrastructure
C．Illegal poaching for their valuable wool
D．Competition for food with other wildlife
6. What can we infer from Zhaxi’s words
A．Tibetan antelopes are not important to the plateau.
B．Protecting antelopes is necessary for the plateau’s balance.
C．Humans can live well without Tibetan antelopes.
D．The plateau’s environment is already perfect.
7. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage
A．Tibetan antelopes can be found in many parts of China.
B．Illegal hunting is no longer a threat to Tibetan antelopes.
C．Zhaxi has spent over 30 years protecting Tibetan antelopes.
D．The number of Tibetan antelopes has dropped by 70% now.

One might expect that the ever-growing demands of the tourist trade would bring nothing but good for the countries that receive the holiday-makers. Indeed, a rosy picture is painted for the long-term future of the holiday industry. Every month sees the building of a new hotel somewhere. And every month another rock-bound Pacific island is advertised as ‘the last paradise on earth’.
However, the scale and speed of this growth seem set to destroy the very things tourists want to enjoy. Overcrowded beaches and the concrete jungles of endless hotels have begun to lose their appeal. Those countries with little experience of tourism can suffer most in a rush to make quick money. In recent years, Nepal’s forests, full of wildlife and rare flowers, were offered to tourists as one more untouched paradise, with the consequent destruction of precious trees and plants.
The people as well rapidly feel its effects. Farmland makes way for hotels, roads and airports; the old way of life goes. The one-time farmer is now the servant of some multinational organization; he is no longer his own master. Once it was his back that bore the pain; now it is his smile that is exploited.
Thankfully, the tourist industry is waking up to the responsibilities it has towards those countries that receive its customers. The protection of wildlife and the creation of national parks go hand in hand with tourist development and in fact obtain financial support from tourist companies. At the same time, tourists are being encouraged to respect not only the countryside they visit but also its people.
The way tourism is handled in the next ten years will decide its fate and that of the countries we all want to visit. Increased understanding in planning worldwide tourism can preserve the market for these companies. If not, in a few years’ time the very things that attract tourists now may well have been destroyed.
8. What does the author imply about the advertisements mentioned in Paragraph 1
A．They are completely honest about the destinations.
B．They are misleading about the real appeal of the places.
C．They successfully show the rapid development of tourism.
D．They accurately describe the natural beauty of Pacific islands.
9. The example of Nepal is used in Paragraph 2 to show that ________.
A．tourist advertisements are usually dishonest and misleading
B．untouched natural paradises are very popular among tourists
C．rapid tourism development may damage natural resources
D．Nepal is rich in wildlife and rare flowers
10. What is the main impact of tourism on farmers based on the text
A．Increased opportunities.
B．Improved work-life balance.
C．Transformed livelihood.
D．Enhanced social status.
11. What may determine the future of tourism according to the text
A．The promotion of cultural diversity.
B．The exploration of new destinations.
C．The guarantee of market stability.
D．The management of responsible tourism.
D
Rosie, a three-year-old black Labrador dog, can do something no person in the world is able to do. She smells four containers of urine (尿液) samples and correctly chooses the one that belongs to a National Health Service patient with bladder (膀胱) cancer. To show it is not just by accident, Rosie’s trainers keep changing the order of the containers. Again and again, the dog finds the cancer sample correctly.
Scientists believe this ability could be the beginning of a major change in how we detect cancer. But it has been difficult for researchers to find a way to use this on a large scale in real-world medical settings. It would simply not be practical for the health service to let a group of dogs smell patients in busy hospital waiting rooms.
Now, however, technology has offered an answer. Dr Andreas Mershin, a researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has worked with the organization Medical Detection Dogs to create an electronic nose, or “e-nose”. This device was developed by training artificial intelligence to copy the way dogs react to the smelly chemicals found in urine. Once the machine learns this, it can also “smell” urine samples by detecting those same tiny chemicals in the air.
The e-nose is now being tested on more than 500 urine samples from patients at Milton Keynes University Hospital, to see if it is as accurate as the dogs. Dr Mershin hopes it can be approved as a medical tool in hospitals within two years. He also said the technology could one day even be built into smartphones.
The team of scientists and dog trainers works closely with local doctors, who are very hopeful about what the e-nose could achieve. They believe it could lead to tests that do not require any cutting or entering the body. Such tests would be especially important for illnesses where people often delay getting checked because they feel embarrassed, waiting until they experience troubling symptoms.
12. What is the limitation of using dogs for cancer detection
A．They are not accurate enough.
B．They are hard to use widely.
C．They are too expensive to train.
D．They are too difficult to control.
13. What can we infer about the e-nose
A．It may be used in phones.
B．It has been applied in treatment.
C．It works better than trained dogs.
D．It can only detect chemicals in urine.
14. What will be possibly discussed in the following paragraph
A．Further device tests.
B．Better ways to train Rosie.
C．Causes of bladder cancer.
D．Methods of keeping healthy.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text
A．New Ways to Train Working Dogs.
B．Dogs with Special Smelling Skills.
C．An AI Device for Cancer Detection.
D．Traditional Tools for Bladder Cancer.

A Remarkable Second-hand Item Exchange
Last Friday, our school held a second-hand item exchange activity. I took my unused storybooks and a lovely notebook to join in. Finally, I exchanged them for a practical dictionary and a handmade bookmark.
This activity is really meaningful. It helps us make full use of old things and save resources. Besides, it offers us a good chance to communicate with classmates. I hope such activities will be held more often in the future.
