used to spread World Wildlife Day.B.Whether the plan will be worked out remains to be seen.C.The US will work together with other countries to protect wildlife.D.More and more people are advised to

explain why pangolins are illegally traded in East Asia.D.To show how the United States is to fight the illegal trade in wildlife.BI love to read before I go to sleep.It usually makes me feel calm.But a big part of this depends on what I read.I love to read Oor Wullie and The Broons.Very often Im smiling before I go to sleep.I decide to write about this in a blog because I find that so many of us go to sleep with stress.Before we go to sleep，we may run over the day in our minds，and worry about tomorrow.We also may watch the news on TV，read the news on our smart phones or tablets，or even answer work emails.But the news is rarely proclaiming(宣告)all the good thats happening in the world and work emails make us feel that were still at work.All these things may leave us a stressful sleep.Oor Wullie and The Broons are not the only things I ever read at night.I sometimes read novels but，with the odd exception，I mostly avoid anything that is too mentally taxing or stimulating late at night unless its something that inspires me or is clearly helpful in my life.And even if I do read something mentally stimulating，when I feel myself getting tired I lay that book down and pick up a trusty old Oor Wullie or The Broons for the last 10 or 15 minutes.Doing this makes my mind quiet and helps ensure I get a peaceful nights sleep.Reading about Wullie or Maw and Paw Broon is like a fort blanket for me.Id suggest you find lighthearted reading as a fort blanket at bedtime，especially if you find yourself stressed or depressed a lot of the time，or if you find difficulty winding at the end of a day.It is the thing that can gently turn your attention towards lightness and ease.If your material makes you laugh，then you may feel even better.Several studies show that laughter boosts happy chemicals in the brain，it strengthens the immune system，its good for the heart，and it is most definitely good for mental health.It even helps us improve our relationships.And if you do happen to pick up a copy of Oor Wullie or The Broons，I hope you find it just as entertaining as I do.1What can we learn about Oor Wullie and The Broons?AThey make people run over the past days.BThey are the best books to be read before people sleep.CThey are extremely popular with young people.DThey make people feel relaxed and happy.2What can we know from the text?AOor Wullie and The Broons are the authors favorite books.BA fortable blanket makes people go to sleep easily.CThe author sometimes reads something about inspirations.DReading something stimulating at night helps get a peaceful sleep.3What is Paragraph 6 mainly about?AWhat material brings us laughter.BHow laughter affects our health.CWhat benefits laughter brings to us.DWhy laughter is good for us.4Whats the main purpose of the text?ATo show the importance of reading before sleeping.BTo prove the importance of a good mood before sleeping.CTo tell us how to make ourselves stay relaxed before sleeping.DTo explain how to

prey(捕食者與獵物),the hunter and the hunted.Most animals want to stay 1.They have developed ways of adapting to 2habitats,and hiding or escaping from those who would like to 3 them.So how do they do that?One very helpful adaptation is called camouflage(偽裝).You may have been 4by an animal that was using camouflage in the past.It looked so similar to its surroundings that you nearly 5 seeing it at all.Its coloring,markings,or other physical features resemble its 6so much that you can look directly at it without 7 it at first.This is often good enough to fool a predator that is scanning an area to look for 8.This helps prey to 9 from its predator.But did you know that it often works the other way around,too?Predators can use camouflage to 10 their prey.If a predator wants to eat a certain animal,and that animal cannot see it lying in 11,it can catch its prey 12,swallowing it before it even knows what is happening.Another popular adaptation is mimicry(擬態(tài)).Mimicry is when an animal has markings or other 13 characteristics that allow it to look like some other kind of animal or plant.If it can make its predators 14 that it is something that preys on them,or would at least be difficult or 15 to catch,its predator will often go off in search of a(n) 16 target.Sometimes animals are able to 17 when their habitat changes because they adapt to the new conditions.For example,birds that were accustomed to nesting in tall 18 have survived industrialization of their habitat by learning to nest in the narrow openings of tall buildings.Raccoons(浣熊) easily adapt to

4)【短文語法填空】.A【解題導(dǎo)語】由于人們的捕獵,一些物種瀕臨滅絕。本文號召人們行動起來,保護瀕危物種。1.C細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一、二段可知,文章提到了大象、犀牛、老虎、陸龜、海龜、穿山甲六種瀕臨滅絕的動物。故選C項。2.D細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的“.high demand in East Asia.is driving an illegal trade in both live animals and pangolin parts.”可知,高需求導(dǎo)致了東亞穿山甲非法交易的發(fā)生,即D項正確。3.C推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段中的“We are strengthening the carrying out of the plan;building international cooperation and contribution to protect wildlife;raising awareness to drive down the demand that is fuelling the illegal trade.”可知,美國將聯(lián)合其他國家保護野生動物,即C項正確。4.B推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一段的內(nèi)容可知,作者寫這篇文章的目的是增強人們保護瀕危物種的意識,即B項正確。B.【解題導(dǎo)語】本文是說明文。文章介紹了動物們在大自然中用不同方式適應(yīng)環(huán)境、努力生存的現(xiàn)象。1.B由上文的the hunter and the hunted及下文的hiding or escaping from可推斷,大多數(shù)動物想要“活著(alive)”。2.D由上文的have developed ways of adapting可推斷,動物們用各種方法適應(yīng)“惡劣的(severe)”自然環(huán)境。3.C動物們總是逃避想要“殺死(kill)”它們的天敵。4.C由下文的“.that was using camouflage in the past.It looked so similar to its surroundings.”可推斷,或許有一只偽裝在與其看起來很像的環(huán)境中的動物曾“使你感到驚訝(surprised)”。5.A由上文的“It looked so similar to its surroundings.”可知,偽裝的動物與其所處的環(huán)境很相似,以至于你差點“沒有(missed)”看到它。6.D7.C偽裝的動物的外表和其所處的“棲息地(habitat)”如此相似以至于你可能盯著它(所處的位置)卻沒能一開始就“看到(seeing)”它。8.B偽裝可以欺騙正在尋找“食物(food)”的捕食者。9.B偽裝可以幫助獵物“躲避(hide)”它的捕食者。10.D由上文的“.it often works the other way around.”可知,不光獵物會通過偽裝躲避捕食者,捕食者也會通過偽裝給獵物“設(shè)陷阱(trap)”。11.D動物無法發(fā)現(xiàn)正在偽裝、“埋伏著等待(lie in wait)”的捕食者。12.C正在偽裝的捕食者因為不易被發(fā)現(xiàn),所以可以“出乎意料地(unexpectedly)”抓住它的獵物。13.A由下文的“.allow it to look like some other kind of animal or plant.”可知,擬態(tài)是指一些動物的“身體(physical)”特征使其看起來像其他的動物或植物。14.A由下文的its predator will often go off可推斷,擬態(tài)的動物會盡力使它的捕食者“認為(believe)”它是有危險性的。15.B由上文的“.preys on them,or would at least be difficult.”可知,擬態(tài)的動物會使其捕食者認為抓它至少是“棘手的(painful)”事情。16.B捕食者常常避開擬態(tài)的動物,去尋找“較容易的(easier)”目標。17.D由下文的“.they adapt to the new conditions.”可推斷,有時動物能通過適應(yīng)新的環(huán)境,在變化中的棲息地中“幸存下來(survive)”。18.A由下文的“.have survived industrialization of their habitat.”可推斷,鳥類過去習(xí)慣于在高大的“樹木(trees)”上筑巢。19.C浣熊很容易地適應(yīng)了“占據(jù)了(taken up)”它們林地家園的居民區(qū)。20.C浣熊會吃它們能得到的任何食物,比如垃圾桶里的,或者“甚至(even)”是人們家里的。.短文改錯Taking partspart in recreation activities helphelps us keep fit.There are various kinds of activityactivities in our daily
