A
Over the years, I’ve been guilty of hastily shutting the front door to many strangers when they came knocking with the intention of selling things. But earlier this year, around Easter time, a dear friend of mine had an experience that changed my mind and perception towards these “intruders”.
Linda, who recently moved to a new neighbour hood, had been housebound all week suffering from a severe case of flu when, early one morning, there was the terrible knock on her front door. Peering out the window, she saw two young ladies demurely (端庄地) holding leaflets and a TV set model. She knew of a large TV set establishment nearby and assumed a message was about to be gently delivered. “This is the last thing I need today,” she muttered to herself and hesitantly opened the door.
Coughing, she poked her head out and impatiently informed them she wasn’t the slightest bit interested in any TV whatsoever. Furthermore, she added, she was feeling quite unwell and abruptly shut the door. The ladies politely turned and left in silence.
A few hours later, another knock. Linda glanced out the window and to her surprise, there were the same two ladies, back again. Really annoyed this time, she opened the door ready togive them a piece of her mind. Before she could speak, with concerned looks on their faces, these women handed Linda what looked to be a dish, saying, “We’re so sorry we disturbed you earlier. We thought you may like this homemade chicken soup. Hopefully it might make you feel a little better.”
Linda was taken aback by this lovely gesture. Being new to the area, she didn’t know many neighbours or people who could assist her with shopping or errands (跑腿) so the gesture was all the more appreciated. She could only smile sheepishly and sincerely thanked them. With that, the ladies left.
After she related this story to me, I thought about how touching this deed really was. Especially in today’s world where sadly, kindness and thoughtfulness seem so rare. I also realized that thinking about others and showing kindness is the real essence of love.
1. What does the expression “give them a piece of her mind”in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Scold them severely. B. Drive them away. C. Refuse them directly. D. Speak out her idea.
2. What can be learned about Linda from the passage? A. Linda always hastily shut the front door to many people. B. Linda was not a little interested in any TV whatsoever. C. Linda was very grateful to the ladies for their chicken soup. D. Linda would buy their TV set in reward for the ladies’ chicken soup. 3. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. A Chicken Soup B. Soup for the soul
C. The Real Essence of Love D. A Friend’s experience
B
As an old saying inChinagoes, “The days of the Sanjiu periodare the coldest days.” “Sanjiu period” , which is in Minor Cold, refers to the third nine-day period (the l9th to the 27th day) after the day of the Winter Solstice(冬至). There are many different customs related to Minor Cold inChina.

DuringMinor Cold people should eat some hot food to benefit the body and defend against the cold weather. Winter is the best time to have hotpot and braised mutton with soy sauce. But it is important to notice that too much spicy food may cause health problems.

The air is thin and we have to rest several times on the shore hike from camp. To our left, snow-covered mountains disappear into clouds that seem almost close enough to touch. On the plain in front of us, we can just make out a herd of graceful animals. This is why we stay here.
Tibetan antelopes live mainly on the plains of Tibet. Watching them move slowly across the green grass, I'm struck by their beauty. I'm also reminded of the danger they are in. They are being hunted illegally for their valuable fur.
My guide is Zhaxi, a villager from Changtang. He works at the Changtang National Nature Reserve. The reserve is a safe place for the animals and plants of northwestern Tibet. To Zhaxi, protecting the wildlife is a way of life. “We're not trying to save the animals,” he says. “Actually, we're trying to save ourselves.”
In the 1980s and 1990s the population of Tibetan antelopes dropped by more than 50 percent. Hunters were shooting antelopes to make money. Their living places were becoming smaller as new roads and railways were built.
In order to save Tibetan antelopes, the Chinese government placed them under national protection. Zhaxi and volunteers watched over the antelopes day and night to keep them safe from attacks. Bridges and gates were added to let the antelopes move easily and keep them safe from cars and trains.
The measures were effective. The antelope population has recovered and in June 2015, the Tibetan antelope
wasremovedfrom the endangered species list. The government, however, does not intend to stop the protection program since the threat to the Tibetan antelope has not yet disappeared. Only when we learn to exist in harmony with nature can we stop being a threat to wildlife and to our planet. 8. What can we learn from Zhaxi's words in paragraph 3?
A. Protecting the animals can make money. B. Protecting the animals is protecting ourselves. C. He is not fond of protecting the animals. D. The reserve is only safe for wild animals. 9. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 4?
A. Why hunters hunt Tibetan antelopes. B. Why antelopes' living places changed. C. Why antelopes' number dropped greatly. D. Why the 1980s and the 1990s are unusual. 10. What does the underlined word “removed” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Deleted. B. Changed. C. Migrated. D. Recognized. 11. What might be the future condition of Tibetan antelopes according to the last paragraph? A. They will be over-populated.
B. They will be a threat to man and other wildlife. C. They will be on the endangered species list again. D. They will be in harmony with nature and humans.
D
Chimps use loud calls and gestures to make their feelings known but until now, the exact meaning for individual movements has remained a mystery. Now researchers believe they have translated the key gestures used in the chimp community and identified their intentions for the first time.
From 4,351 gestures, experts were able to identify 66 that are used for 19 specific message meanings, including showing a foot to tell a child they can climb on their back. The researchers were able to narrow down these 66 gestures to 36 that are used intentionally to achieve 15 purposes. The translations were made by Dr Catherine Hobaiter and her colleagues at St Andrews University in Scotland.
Dr Hobaiter used behavior sampling and filmed all recorded cases of gestural communication. Other gestures include stomping their feet to ask another chimp to stop what they are doing, and slapping objects together to ask another to follow them. Of the 19 meanings,17 encouraged interactions to start, or to develop, such as “move closer,” and “change play”. Some of the gestures were found to have more than one meaning. and only 10 of the 66 gestures were used for only a single meaning.
Researchers collected a total of 471 video clips from two social groups of chimps at a shelter near Kinshasa,
Democratic Republic of Congo. As well as identifying what the gesture means, they also discovered the technique needed to increase the chances of success.
“Human children use gestures to communicate before they produce their first words, and their earliest gestures typically appear around 10 months of age,” explained the researchers. “In great apes, there is good evidence that language-trained individuals are capable of acquiring and understanding signals, but this is far less clear in their natural communication. ” 12. Chimps slap the objects to____________.
A. tell others to stop what they are doing B. ask others chimps to join them C. gather other chimps to move closer D. encourage interactions to start 13. What did researchers find after studying 471 video clips? A. Chimps trained in language are good at understanding signals. B. Two social groups of chimps live at a shelter near Kinshasa. C. Language-trained individuals do well in natural communication. D. Chimps’earliest gestures appear around 10 months of age. 14. How is the last paragraph developed?
A. By analyzing causes. B. By examining differences. C By making comparisons. D. By following time order. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A A New Research on Chimps B. Human Children and Chimps
C. Getting the Chimps Trained for Language D. Translating the Sign Language of Chimps 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
