A
It's just before l pm and hungry guests are starting to emerge out onto the wooden floor at the back of the Victoria Falls Safari Lodge in Zimbabwe. A few have already settled in for lunch, drinking beer and enjoying their sandwiches and salads in the sunshine. It's a normal setting until you look up. Overhead, the sky is filled with several hundred vultures (秃鹭).
They too have arrived for their midday snack. Every day the team at this hotel places last night's leftover meat out for the vultures to eat. They call it the \"Vulture Restaurant\" and it's a vital part of protecting these birds, who have become some of the most endangered species in Africa.
In Zimbabwe, where illegal hunting of elephants and rhinos is a major issue, poisoning poses a significant threat to the birds. \"In recent years hunters have realized they can use poison to kill animals. It's effective because it's silent and therefore doesn't attract much attention.when the vultures eat the bodies of the dead animals they die too,\" says Roger Parry, Wildlife Manager at the Victoria Falls Wildlife Trust.
The Vulture Restaurant initiative is part feeding programme, part education programme. By attracting the birds to the Vulture Restaurant every day the team can ensure they're regularly getting a safe meal, and while the birds are there they can educate tourists from all over the world about these creatures.
“Lunch” is served by Moses Garira. He has the unenviable task of wandering out into the middle of the clearing with a box full of meat, dropping the contents onto the ground and running for his life as the vultures fly downward suddenly for their food. No one, surely, would volunteer for this role, but Garira rather enjoys it. Back in the safety of the viewing seats, he tells the onlookers about the importance of vultures. \"They're hugely important in terms of their role of cleaning up the bodies of dead animals,\" says Garira. \"Notably, they're safely able to digest bacteria like anthrax. Without vultures, there'd be a lot more disease in the world.\" 1. What's the biggest threat vultures facing in Zimbabwe? A. Overhunting. B. Unsafe food. C. Loss of habitat. D. A bird disease.
2. What would others think of Garira's job? A. Scary. B. Relaxing. C. Well-paid. D. Time-consuming
3. What do Garira's words mean? A. Birds are human's best friends. B. People know little about vultures. C. Vultures are environmentally favorable. D. Vultures are in urgentneed of protection.

A trip to thelibrary was like a great journey to a different country. To get there, we had to walk a mile. But our weekly journeys to the library were a piece of perfection. I had around me at one time all the people I loved best- my father and mother and brothers and sister- -and all the things I loved best- quiet, space and books.
I read a lot of books about science: not the spaceships my brothers preferred, but the birds and the bees- -literally. I brought home a book of birds and searched the trees for anything other than robins (知更鸟). I went through a phrase of loving books with practical science experiments and used up a whole bottle of white vinegar by pouring it on the sides of our apartment building to prove that it was constructed of limestone (石灰石).
One Saturday, as I wandered through the young adult section, I saw a title: Little Women, by Lousia May Alcott. I had learned from experience that titles weren’t everything. A book that sounded great on the shelf could be dull once you got it home. So I sat in a chair near the shelves to skim the first paragraphs.
I read and read and read Little Women until it was time to walk home, and, except for a few essential interruptions like sleeping and eating, I did not put it down until the end. Even the freedom to watch weekend television held no appeal for me in the wake of Alcott' s story. It was about girls, for one thing, girls who could almost be like me, especially Jo. I had found someone who thought and felt the way I did. 4. What can we say about the author’s family?
A. They enjoyed traveling abroad. B. They were library frequenters. C. They were very fond of walking. D. They led a perfectly quiet life. 5. What does the author mainly want to show in paragraph 2? A. Her different hobbies from her brothers.
B. How she conducted science experiments. C. Why she loved books about the birds and the bees. D. Her reading interests during a particular period of time. 6. What opinion does the author hold on books? A. Book titles can sometimes be misleading. B. Science books are as interesting as novels. C. The first few paragraphs of a book are attractive. D. Books seem duller when read in libraries than at home. 7. How would the author describe Little Women? A. It helped her to discover her true character. B. It made her forget about food and sleep. C. It inspired confidence in her. D. It kept her absorbed.

A smiling panda and a walking Chinese lantern will be the mascots of the 2022 Winter Olympics and Paralympics (残奥会）in Beijing .
The mascots were known to the public on Sept.17, 2019 at a ceremony inBeijing. Beijing Mayor Chen Jining described them as adorable, unique , and exquisite (精致的）。He said they shows Chinese people’s longing for the 2022 Beijing WinterOlympics in a visually appealing way and extends Chinese people’s warm invitation to friends throughout the world .
The panda, named Bing Dwen Dwen , is the Olympic mascot. Colourful circles around its face symbolize skating tracks and 5G technology, according to the website of theBeijingorganizing committee . Bing , the Chinese word for “ ice “, shows purity and strength, while Dwen Dwen means sincerity , liveliness, and health , the website said. The choice of the iconic animal , considered the national treasure , is not a surprise to people inChina. While many applaud Bing Dwen Dwen for its cuteness on social media , some are not favourably impressed by the lack of creativity in choosing a panda . The giant panda was one of the five mascots of the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics , and it was also the symbol for the Asian Games inBeijingin 1990.
“Today is an important step on a milestone inBeijing’s journey to make history as the first ever , in Olympic history , to host both summer and winter editions of the Olympic Games , International Olympic Committee (IOC) president Thomas Bach said at the ceremony .
Based on a traditional red lantern , Paralympic mascot Shuey Rhon Rhon creates a cheerful atmosphere of the Chinese Lunar New Year ,which will fall around the time of the Winter Games , the organizing committee said . It is sporting(穿戴）a yellow scarf, a circle of yellow doves around its head , and a traditional Chinese paper-cut . “Shuey “ means snow in Chinese and “Rhon Rhon” means “inclusiveness ”and “harmonization”, implying that the world civilizations communicate with each otherand live in harmony , the committee said .

Paper is an important part of modern life. People use it in school, at work, to make artwork and books, to wrap presents and much more. Trees are the most common material for paper these days.
So how do people make paper out of trees today? People first cut trees, load them onto trucks and bring
them to a factory. Machines cut open the outer coverings of the trees, and cut the trees into pieces. Those pieces are boiled into a soup. After that, it is hit flat, dried and cut up into sheets of paper.
The entire process, from planting a small tree to buying your school notebook, takes a very long time. Just growing the trees takes 10 to 20 years.
Making tons of paper from trees can harm the planet. Humans cut down 80, 000 to 160,000 trees around the world every day, and use many of them to make paper. Some of those trees come from tree farms. But people also cut down forests for paper, which means that animals and birds lose their homes.
Cutting forests down also contributes to climate change, and paper factories pollute the air. After you throw paper, it often takes the paper six to nine years to break down. That's why recycling is important. It saves a lot of trees, slows climate change and helps protect endangered animals, birds and all creatures that rely on forests for their homes and food.
So if paper isn't good for the environment, why don't people write on something else?
The answer: They do. With computers, tablets and cellphones, people use much less paper than in the past. Maybe a day will come when we won't use paper at all — or will save it for very special books and artworks. 12. What can we know about making paper out of trees? A. It costs much money. B. It takes a lot of time. C. It is very easy and fast. D. It is dangerous and difficult. 13. What is the impact of paper production? A. It promotes the recycling. B. It does harm to the environment. C. It slows down the climate change. D. It protects the animals from losing homes.
14. How will we use paper someday in the future according to the text? A. Use it for books only. B. Use the recycled paper. C. Treasure it occasionally. D. Use it for artworks. 15. What idea does the author want to express from the text? A. The influence of making paper on environment. B. The wonderful experience of making paper. C. The necessary process of making paper. D. The good reasons for making paper.

According to a report, the average American throws away 4.4 pounds of garbage each day. That adds up to 728,000 tons of daily garbage. Thankfully, states likeIdahoare carrying our innovative policies that others can follow. Here’s whatIdahois doing.
___16___Now, it has a blooming wind-power industry and is one of the only six states with commercial geothermal (地热的) electricity. Geothermal power plants are able to create energy using water and heat that comes from dry steam wells or from hot-water wells. The steam then powers a machine that generates electricity.
BecauseIdahonever had a large supply of fossil fuels to rely on, leaders had to become more creative with their power sources. Idaho is not as densely (密集地) populated as most other states.___17___
WhenBoiseleaders realized how much food was ending up in the local landfill, they took new steps to cutback on food waste. In 2017, the local government initiated a citywide composting (堆肥) program, where Boise residents could have their organic waste picked up at the curb (路边) along with their regular recycling.___18___
If you tend to buy less, chances are you’re throwing out less as well.___19___According to a report by Bureau of Economic Analysis, Idahoans average about $36,777 in personal spending each year, compared with $42,757 for the average American.
Idahoans manage to keep waste out of their landfills partly because of their strong commitment to recycling. BecauseIdahohas a series of communities — from urban areas inBoiseto the surrounding suburbs — no two recycling programs in the state are alike.___20___Rural areas exploit drop-off recycling centers to cut costs, while cities use curbside pickup.
A. Idaho just earned that title unexpectedly.
B. Idaho was an early adopter of green energy sources. C. They are then able to obtain the compost soil for free.
D. Therefore, it’s able to take advantage of the space for wind-power sources.
E. Each region has developed its own unique program based on its needs and resources. F. One possible reason whyIdahois less wasteful has to do with consumer spending habits. G. There customized programs make iteasier for residents to have good consumption habits. 第二部分 语言运用（共两节，满分45分）
