26、Meet Boji. He is often seen waiting on train platforms and riding buses around town. He takes commuting so seriously that he has become an international celebrity and a VIP for all commuters in Istanbul. Actually, Boji is a much-loved stray animal with large brown eyes and golden fur.

Boji was first spotted riding the subway in August. He caught people’s attention because he seemed to understand how to use the transport system. “We noticed a dog using our subways and trains. He let passengers get off before jumping onto the train and knew where to get out,” Aylin Erol from Metro Istanbul said.

Vets took Boji in for a check up, placing a GPS tracker on him so they could record his journeys. They soon discovered that this traveling dog covers some 30 kilometers onpublic transport a day, using at least 29 subway stations. So he was nicknamed Boji, theTurkish word for “subway car”.

Stray animals are a regular part of life in Istanbul. As a large city in the world, Istanbul is also home to 150,000 stray dogs and cats. As locals have been known to feed and leave water for these street animals for centuries, stray animals are a regular part of life for the residents of Istanbul.

Yet a traveling dog is new even for Istanbul residents. “You take the train and, suddenly, you see Boji. You just smile and catch the moment. Boji reminds us that we can still enjoy Istanbul as we rush about. This sweet dog sits upright on trains watching the world go by. As he travels, he brings smiles and warmth to tired passengers,” Erol told Reuters.

【1】Why did Boji draw people's attention?

28、On a bright August morning, Bas Huijbregts found himself somewhere he never expected to be: in a helicopter surveying a small number of black rhinos in Namibia's Etosha National Park. As the chopper drew closer to the ground, Huijbregts focused on the task at hand: to mark each of the large mammals with a bright paintball splash.

Every year, during the dry season, park management and Namibia's government undertake a weeks-long operation to count all the park's rhinos. Given the vastness of the area, the count is done by air, and the animals are marked with paint to keep track of those that have already been counted.

Huijbregts, then the newly appointed manager of African species conservation at WWF, was passing through the park when he received an impromptu invitation to join in the count. Over the dinner, chief warden Pierre Du Preez asked Huijbregts if he knew how to play paintball.

“My answer was no!” recalls Huijbregts with a laugh. “I was so nervous. But it was the most amazing experience I've had with rhinos. It was sort of a boy's dream, a cowboy thing to do.”

Huijbregts's experience was all the more remarkable given that just 20 years earlier encountering a black rhino was incredibly rare—fewer than 2,500 individuals remained in eastern and southern Africa. Due to intense poaching, 96% of the population was wiped out between 1970 and 1990.

Today, black rhino numbers have more than doubled, thanks to concerted conservation efforts by the government, local nonprofits, and the communities who manage the land. Today, Namibia is home to the largest black rhino population, with Etosha being “the biggest stronghold in the country,” says Huijbregts. “They are a huge success story for the world.”

But rhinos in other parts of the world, are still critically endangered. That's why WWF, together with governments, communities, and other partners, is working hard to safeguard the remaining rhinos, expand their populations, and protect their habitats.

【1】Why did Bas Huijbregts fly in a helicopter?

A．To do a survey on a small rhino.

B．To enjoy the beautiful scenery of the park.

C．To keep track of all the mammals in the park.

D．To help figure out the number of rhinos in the park.

C．formal

D．final

【3】What does paragraph 6 mainly talk about?

A．Why Namibia has so many rhinos.

B．The importance of conserving rhinos.

C．How to improve the rhino population.

D．The result of rhino protection in Namibia.

【4】Where can we probably find this text?

29、Most of us spend our lives seeking the natural world.We go fishing，sit in the garden，have a picnic，live in the suburbs or go to the seaside.The most popular leisure activity in Britain is going for a walk.When joggers jog，they don't run on the streets.Every one of them tends to go to the park or the river.

But despite this，our children are growing up nature­deprived.I spent my boyhood climbing trees.These days，children are robbed of the ancient freedom，due to problems like crime，traffic，the loss of the open space and strange new ideas about what is best for children，that is to say，things that can be bought，rather than things that can be found.

The truth is to be found elsewhere.A study in the US：families had moved to better housing and the children were assessed for ADHD—Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder(注意力缺陷多动症)．Those whose accommodation had more natural views showed an improvement of 19%；those who had the same improvement in material surroundings but no nice view improved just 4%.

ADHD is one of the great problems of modern childhood.One study after another indicates that contact with nature gives huge benefits to ADHD children.However，we spend money on drugs rather than on green places.

The life of old people is measurably better when they have access to nature.The increasing concern for the growing population of old people is in quality rather than quantity of years.And study after study finds that a garden is the single most important thing in finding that quality.Even problems with crime and aggressive behaviour are reduced when there is contact with the natural world.

We need the wild world.It is essential to our well­being，our health and our happiness.

【1】According to the author，people enjoy ________ to seek nature.

A．jogging on the street

B．running in the gym

C．shopping in the supermarket

D．sitting in the garden

【2】From the second paragraph，we can see that________．

A．Children don’t want to approach nature

B．children probably spend less time in nature nowadays

C．climbing trees will certainly do good to the children

D．children tend to be happier as a result of their material satisfaction

【3】In what way do people benefit from their contact with nature?

A．Children with ADHD can be cured.

B．Children's performance at school is greatly improved.

C．Problems with crime and violent behavior will easily be solved.

D．A garden nearby improves the quality of old people's life.

30、I am a guide at the California Academy of Sciences. Weeks ago, I was _________ with a lovely family at the Academy’s Swamp exhibit.

I was _________. Such grace, gratitude and _________, all from an eight-year-old boy. Too often, we _________ to be happy with what we have and in our forgetfulness, we spread the _________ of discontent.

I recently purchased my first laptop computer. In discussions with the __________, he said, “Within two years, you’ll probably want a new one anyway.” Why would I want a new one, if my __________ one was working? Perhaps, “__________” is the key word. I won’t __________ need a new laptop in two years but I “will probably want one”. I may want __________ things, but I don’t need them.

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

In a society, such as the United States or Canada, which has many national, religious and cultural differences, people 【1】 value individualism--the differences among people. Teachers place a lot of importance on the 【2】 that make each student special. The educational systems in these countries show these values. Students do not memorize information. Instead, they work 【3】 and find answers by themselves.There is often discussion in the classroom. At an early age, students learn to form their own ideas and opinions.

In most Asia societies, on the contrary, the people have the same language, history and culture. Perhaps for this reason, the educational system in much of the Orient 【4】 society’s belief in group goals and purposes rather than individualism. Children in China, Japan and Korea often work together and help one another on assignments. In the classroom, the teaching 【5】 are often very formal. The teacher lectures, and the students listen. There is not much discussion. Instead, the students recite rules or information that have memorized.

There are advantages and disadvantages to both of these 【6】 of education. For example, one advantage to the system in Japan is that students there learn much more math and science than American students by the end of high school. They also study more hours each day and more days each year than North Americans do. The system is difficult, but it 【7】students for a society that values discipline and self-control. There is, however, a disadvantage. Memorization is an 【8】 learning method in Japanese schools, yet many students say that after an exam, they forget much of the information they have memorized.

The advantage of the educational system in North America, on the other hand, is that students learn to think for themselves. The system prepares them for a society that values 【9】 ideas. There is, however, a disadvantage. When students graduate from school, they haven’t 【10】 as many basic rules and facts as students in other countries have.
