11．Snow leopards （豹） are so hard to photograph that scientists aren't even sure how many of these endangered animals still live in the wild.
The Snow Leopard Conservancy（SLC）set up 20 cameras in Russia in 2010 to learn more about the big cats.After a full six months，they had exactly zero picture!That's when the organization understood they needed help.And the only people who could help them in finding the leopards were the very people from whom they wanted to protect the animals-local hunters （獵人）．
Hunting snow leopards is against the law in Russia，but in the terrible climate of Siberia，the few people living there had to turn to poaching （盜獵） to feed their families.
In 2013，Russian naturalist Sergei Spitsyn approached Mergen Markov，a local hunter，and told him his project.Markov agreed to set up the camera where he knew he would find leopards，and it worked.
Markov，once a poacher，works full time for the conservationists now and has 10 cameras monitoring leopards. "I visit each camera once a month.I have known this whole region since I was a child，" he said proudly.
The World Wildlife Fund （WWF） began working with other local villagers in 2015.The village would be paid 40，000 rubles at the end of the year if the image of a snow leopard is caught.WWF also rents horses from the villagers so that they do not need to make money by poaching anymore. "Today there are far fewer leopard poachers but leopards still get caught in traps set for other animals，so I have to stay watchful，" said Markov.
Changing guns for cameras has made a big difference in the lives of these former poachers，the village，and the Russian snow leopards.The number of snow leopards has been rising and their population is expected to recover to normal levels within 10 years.
（1）Why was no picture of snow leopards taken in six months？
A．SLC's 20 cameras failed to work properly.
B．The number of snow leopards in the wild was too small.
C．The local poachers destroyed these cameras on purpose.
D．The researchers knew little about the animal's living habits.
（2）What did Sergei Spitsyn persuade Markov to do？
A．Find the poachers.
B．Repair cameras in the forest.
C．Catch more leopards.
D．Work for SLC.
（3）Why did the WWF begin working with local villagers？
A．To get some pictures of snow leopards.
B．To help villagers make a living.
C．To prevent villagers from hunting animals.
D．To rent their horses at a low price.
（4）How can we describe the WWF's cooperation with the villagers？
A．Practice makes perfect.
B．Curiosity kills the cat.
C．Kill two birds with one stone.
D．Old habits die hard.組卷：7引用：2難度：0.5 -

13．Long before they found their way into living rooms around，the world，computers were the belongings of institutes and corporate headquarters.After all，the huge and heavy mainframes of the 1960s might easily fill a room of their own.
The invention of the microprocessor - Intel's 4004 was the first to be made commercially available in 1971-changed all that.Manufacturers were finally able to produce machines small enough to fit into customers' homes.Yet，the question was：Could firms persuade people to actually want one there？
The story of how computers enter our homes is not one of technology，but one of marketing and design，according to writer and journalist Alex Wiltshire，whose new book，Home Computers：100 Icons that Defined a Digital Generation，tells the industry's early history through its most influential models. "The technology was already in existence，" he said in a phone interview. "But what was important was the idea of putting it into a form that could be bought and easily used."
The very first models in Wiltshire's book were aimed at hobbyists and industry insiders.These so-called "kit" computers performed only basic functions.But the arrival of user-friendly machines like the CPET 2001 and Apple Ⅱ in 1977 were signs of a turning point.
"There was a massive change around the idea of 'What if these computers were packaged，presented and designed in a form that anyone could use？' -that they wouldn't require people to learn computer languages，or to devote several rooms of their houses，" Wiltshire said. "What if there were these objects that people could buy off the shelf and just plug into their TVs？That was the moment that the idea of a 'home computer' was born，and it was absolutely down to design. "
（1）What can we learn from Alex's book？
A．Technology for home computers was not mature.
B．Marketing and design counted most for computers.
C．The home computer industry has a long history.
D．The writer's idea was put in the design of home computers.
（2）What is the difference between kit computers and CPET 2001？
A．Kit computers could handle complex operation.
B．Kit computers were more environmently friendly.
C．CPET 2001 was easier to use for common people.
D．CPET 2001 was better than Apple Ⅱ.
（3）What is the topping idea when designing a "home computer"？
A．Designing it like a TV.
B．Designing it aimed at housewives.
C．Designing it easier to use and keep.
D．Designing it used learning languages.
（4）What's Alex's attitude towards the change of home computer？
A．Objective.
B．Negative.
C．Indifferent.
D．Suspicious. -
14．Whenever we talk about holidays，my mother teases my sister and me about how we "make out like robbers." She is referring to the fact that we are half Jewish and half Indian，so we receive gifts on both the festivals of lights.Hanukkah and Diwali.Though my mother teases us，I do not mind getting two sets of gifts!
Hanukkah is celebrated on the 25th day of the Jewish month，which is usually sometime in December.On Hanukkah，like most Jewish families，we light a menorah（燭臺(tái)） and say a prayer each night.We also say a special prayer on the first night.After that，it is a tradition for my sister and me to do 'hot and cold'，for our hidden Hanukkah gifts.When we walk towards the gift，our parents say 'hot' and when we walk further away，they say 'cold'.We each receive one present every night of Hanukkah.Another part I like about this holiday is seeing family members who we do not see often.My aunt usually stays for a few days，and we sometimes visit other relatives.
Diwali is celebrated on the 13th day of the dark fortnight of the month of Ashwin（October / November）.To celebrate Diwali，my family does a pooja，or prayers，in honor of the goddess Lakshmi.Since she is the goddess of wealth and prosperity，the pooja includes washing silver coins in milk and water.In India，people decorate their houses with lamps，similar to the way you might light up your house for Christmas.My family just places a few candles outside.We also set off firecrackers，which is my favorite part.We often do this activity with friends to add to the excitement.
Both holidays have different histories and stories.We celebrate them in different ways，yet they both have the same meaning.And they both mean family and presents for me!
（1）Why does the author receive gifts on both Hanukkah and Diwali？
A．Because he lives in a rich family.
B．Because he lives in two different countries.
C．Because his parents like celebrating their different cultures.
D．Because his parents like spending money buying gifts for them.
（2）What does the underlined phrase "hot and cold" in paragraph 2 refer to？
A．A kind of Hanukkah game.
B．A kind of Hanukkah gift.
C．A can of festival drink.
D．A riddle written on lights.
（3）We can learn from the text that Hanukkah and Diwali.
A．share the same history and culture
B．a(chǎn)re celebrated by both Jews and Indians
C．a(chǎn)re both related to the legend of lights
D．encourage the families to do their prayers
（4）What is the author's attitude towards Hanukkah and Diwali？
A．She enjoys celebrating both of them.
B．She does mind spending them.
C．She likes Hanukkah better.
D．She likes Diwali better.組卷：3引用：1難度：0.6 -
15．Secrets of Great Savers Wondering how to save more money but have no idea where to cut？（1）
They can make your money go further and help you live a more financially secure（保障的） life.
You can form a "hand-me-down"club.Since kids grow so fast，their clothes quickly become unwearable even though they still look nice.（2）Instead of making your local kids' clothing store rich，organise a club of parents from your child's school or daycare to exchange hand-me-down clothing.
（3）Always buy the same colour and style of socks for your child—— preferably white，since you can bleach（漂白） them when they are stained.Since socks always disappear，when you lose one of a pair，you can pair it up with another，because they are all the same.
It is a good idea to take a job for a discount.If you are looking for a part-time job，fill out applications at shops where you often do your shopping.（4）If you have teenagers in your home who are ready for a job，encourage them to work at your family's favourite stores with employee discounts too.Not only will you benefit from the discount，but you will also gain access to a new world of inside information on upcoming sales!
Why not help your friend move？Always help friends pack their belongings and load the truck when they are moving.When people are loading their households into boxes，they usually find items that they no longer need or do not want to pack or unpack.As a result，you can bring home hundreds of pounds worth of frozen food，tableware，books，toys，furniture（家具） and other household items.（5）.
A.Get socks of one colour.
B.Bleach socks to white n them.
C.We share four secrets of super savers here.
D.So，parents buy a lot of new clothes to meet the need.
E.Best of all they will still think you've done them a favour.
F.For example，clothing shops may give their employees a discount.
G.Once they do a favor，your problem will probably be solved very quickly.組卷：7引用：3難度：0.5

19．閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開(kāi)頭語(yǔ)續(xù)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。
Our Garfield became a mostly indoor cat.He used to wander outside but we discovered he had a terrible sense of direction，so now he has to stay inside.He does not enjoy being on the inside looking out，but it's safer for him so that's how it has to be.
When Garfield isn't sleeping，he's either sitting on a windowsill （窗臺(tái)） or sitting with his wet nose pressed against our glass door overlooking the deck （木質(zhì)平臺(tái)），like a prisoner behind bars.As he ages，he earns back his outside rights an hour per day because he shows us that he will stay close to the back deck.
When we let him out last week，a thunderstorm arose out of nowhere.By the time we heard the crack of lightning and remembered Garfield was outside，we opened the door to see nothing but strong wind and heavy rain.My daughter Janette put on her rubber boots and raincoat to check around the house，but Garfield was nowhere to be found.The thunderstorm obviously had scared him into a run in the wrong direction.Who knew where he would end up？
It took me forever to fall asleep that night.I prayed （祈禱） someone would protect him and help him find his way home.As I continued praying，I realized that in my daily prayers for my family，I rarely included Garfield.Now that he was gone，maybe forever，I realized what an important part of our family he was.I prayed for his safe return.
My husband Peter was the first one up at 6：00 a.m.He checked the doorstep，but no Garfield was in sight.I saw my neighbor Heidi taking her dog out for a walk，and I asked her to please keep her eyes open for our cat.Janette and her three brothers all walked around the house that day looking like they had lost their best friend.Peter decided to look for Garfield around the neighborhood.
注意：
