21、It isn’t often that zookeepers call on craftsman for help. But cold weather at the Wildlife SOS Elephant Conservation and Care Center in northern India was putting elephants at risk. So the center’s staff joined forces with locals to find a creative way to keep the animals warm. Now the elephants are stepping out in style, thanks to volunteers who made use of their crafting talents to knit (编织) enormous sweaters to protect the animals.

Wildlife SOS is a conservation group that has been taking action against animal cruelty and saving wildlife in danger since 1995. Their Elephant Conservation and Care Center is devoted to rescuing the large animals from abuse in circuses, illegal dealing, and other circumstances where they have been ignored or treated with extreme cruelty. There are currently 20 elephants living at the center, and the staff hope to take in 50 more of the creatures this year.

Because most of the elephants housed at the center are recovering from injuries or are elderly and weak, they are particularly vulnerable to cold temperatures. When the staff reported near-freezing nighttime temperatures in the winter, volunteers from surrounding villages began knitting enormous sweaters to keep the elephants warm. The monumental sweaters are large enough to cover the elephants’ backs, bellies, and legs.

Making the sweaters is a big undertaking—each one takes approximately four weeks to create, with volunteers working together on the enormous clothes. Local villagers have already made sweaters for three of the 23 elephants on their own, each with a unique pattern and color.

If you’re also looking for something happy and heartwarming, this is it. The elephants usually wear blankets to keep warm during colder months and you can purchase a blanket for an elephant on the Wildlife SOS website.

【1】What did the center’s staff do?

A. They managed to resist warm weather.

B. They abused and killed elephants illegally.

C. They put elephants at risk in cold weather.

D. They worked together with locals to aid elephants.

【2】Why did villagers knit sweaters for elephants?

A. To make them popular in circuses.

B. To dress them up to attract visitors.

C. To let zookeepers identify every elephant.

D. To keep them warm during colder months.

【3】The second paragraph is mainly about   .

A. animal abuse   B. the introduction of Wildlife SOS

C. illegal trade of ivory   D. Wildlife SOS rescuing plants

【4】The underlined word “vulnerable” in Paragraph 3 can be best replaced by   .

A. fresh   B. attached

C. sensitive   D. familiar

23、I’m in Marrakech, the heart of Morocco at the base of the Atlas Mountains, with my son, Sam. He’s eight. We’ve come here with Mohamed, a friend who owns a store in our New York neighborhood. We’re regular customers at Mohamed’s store, where Sam can often be found negotiating with his friend. When they’re not bargaining, they’re chatting about swords, or camels, or the desert. “You need to come to Marrakech,” Mohamed told me. “I’ll show you around and teach Sam how to really get a bargain!” So here we are.

We meet up with Mohamed over a cup of tea at a table outside the tiny Cafe ben Youssef, deep in the old city of Marrakech. We’re sitting in an area bordering the stalls of the marketplace. Vendors(小贩)with carts offer freshly squeezed orange juice, others sell dates or figs. Nearby are the workshops that supply the goods to this world-famous market.

Later, as we walk around, Mohamed begins the first of his bargaining tutorials for Sam.

“Everything in Morocco is open to negotiation, Sam. When you hear a price, the first thing you say is ‘Too much’ then walk away.”

“But what if I like it?”

“When you see something you like, maybe a lamp, you ask about something else instead. Then, as you walk out, you ask, “And how much is that lamp?” As though you’d just noticed it and aren’t really interested in it.”

We turn a comer and are greeted with sweet-smelling orange blossoms. “Don’t always give an offer. Make them continue to lower the price. Oh, and wear something Moroccan.” Mohamed continues, as we enter a fairly large shop. Most of the stalls in Marrakech specialize in one thing, but not this one. Decorative and lethal-looking swords hang beside soft hand-dyed fabrics; large camel bones covered in writing sit beside massive copper lamps. It is here that Sam spots a box. “Look, a treasure chest!” It’s made of wood, and painted red and gold. He opens the lid, then closes it. “Cool.” Then he spots a tall, cobalt blue, tear-shaped old perfume bottle. “Four hundred dirham,” the shopkeeper pronounces. Sam says nothing. Whether he’s too shy or is practicing Mohamed’s bargaining technique, I can’t tell. He eventually agrees to pay 200 dirham, about $24. Mohamed says the bottle is worth $10, at most. Clearly, his negotiating skills need a little work. “Just to get started, Dad,” Sam measures me as he pays for the bottle.

【1】According to Mohamed, people in Marrakech like________.

A．bargaining

B．trading

C．drinking tea

D．showing friends around

【2】What does Mohamed advise Sam to do when he finds something he likes?

A．To look for something similar in another shop.

B．To complain to the vendor about its high price.

C．To conceal his real preference from the vendor.

D．To ask the vendor about the price as soon as possible.

【3】What does the writer imply about Sam’s first negotiating experience?

A．It is far from successful.

B．It costs Sam more than the money he pays.

C．It reveals Sam’s potential in negotiation.

D．It shows that Sam is too shy for negotiation.

【4】Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?

A．A Shopping Trip.

B．The Charm of the Market

C．A Busy City.

D．The Art of the Deal

25、In American culture, I am noticing a lack of respect, especially among children. This should be treated _________ since disrespectful children will become disrespectful teenagers, and then disrespectful adults. American culture is _________ the ways of teaching respect, while other cultures have methods that Americans could learn from.

In 1995, I spent a couple of months in Kenya where I lived with a pastor’s family. This pastor was a part of the Maasai tribes that have some unique customs. One of them is the _________ that the children give the adults. When an adult approaches a Maasai child, the child will _________ and tilt their head slightly saying “Suppa”. The adult responses by saying “Ippa” touching the top of their heads. This simple act shows respect for the adult. The children _________ that they are their elder and that the adult deserves respect.

In my early 20’s, I worked at a children’s home in South Carolina where the children from 4 to 19 years old were taught to respect their elders. They _________ me as “Mr. Vince” and every adult worker there with a “Mr, Mrs, or Ms.”. However, as I counsel and talk to teachers and other professionals who work with children now, there seems to be a _________ in such as friendly behavior that children give adults. Fewer students treat teachers with respect: Children frequently talk back to their teachers, parents or seniors, interrupt conversations, and disregard their _________. Children casually speak with other adults like waiters, store clerks, postmen, cashiers, etc. in the way as if they are children’s _________.

Immanuel Kant expressed two __________ attitudes in Europe that are still dominant today. One is that only humans are persons because they have autonomy—they freely choose to act on principles by __________ laws on themselves, and not on desires. It is this mind based on __________ that gives humans special status. Second, to learn to follow principles instead of desires, a human child needs to learn __________ to the laws of adults. They must practice __________ regulation before they are able to practice autonomy. Kant said that “act in the way you want others to act in the situation, taking other people as persons, not __________ you use for your own goals”. Only in this way can you become a real person with intrinsic values.
