Port Lympne Reserve, which runs a breeding (繁育) programme, has welcomed the arrival of a rare black rhino calf (犀牛幼崽). When the tiny creature arrived on January 31, she became the 40th black rhino to be born at the reserve. And officials at Port Lympne were delighted with the new arrival, especially as black rhinos are known for being difficult to breed in captivity (圈养).
Paul Beer, head of rhino section at Port Lympne, said: “Obviously we’re all absolutely delighted to welcome another calf to our black rhino family. She’s healthy, strong and already eager to play and explore. Her mother, Solio, is a first-time mum and she is doing a fantastic job. It’s still a little too cold for them to go out into the open, but as soon as the weather warms up, I have no doubt that the little one will be out and about exploring and playing every day.”
The adorable female calf is the second black rhino born this year at the reserve, but it is too early to tell if the calves will make good candidates to be returned to protected areas of the wild. The first rhino to be born at Port Lympne arrived on January 5 to first-time mother Kisima and weighed about 32kg. His mother, grandmother and great grandmother were all born at the reserve and still live there.
According to the World Wildlife Fund, the global black rhino population has dropped as low as 5500, giving the rhinos a “critically endangered” status.

It’s a sweet moment, as a chimp reaches up to kiss his mother’s face. The touching photo was taken by the famous conservationist and activist Jane Goodall in 1993 in Gombe National Park in northwest Tanzania where she has studied chimpanzees for more than six decades.
The image is part of Vital Impacts consisting of a group of 100 photographers. The women-led non-profit was founded by award-winning photographer Ami Vitale and visual journalist Eileen Mignoni. They are selling fine arts images, most of which focus on wildlife and nature, with earnings benefiting conservation organizations including Jane Goodall Institute’s Roots and Shoots program.
“Our purpose is to use photography to create awareness and understanding; to help us see that the survival of the planet is closely connected with our own survival. As photographers, we have a huge opportunity to inform and influence change, but pressing the shutter (快门) is just the start,” Vitale said.
“For an image to have significance, it needs to reach people. To this end, we are working to get the photographs of Vital Impacts photographers and our students into high-profile media and exhibitions around the world.”
The organization gives special attention to photographers who are committed to the planet. Funds will be used to support global conservation and environmental initiatives and the group will offer two $20,000 environmental storytelling awards.
Vital Impacts has raised more than $1.5 million from the sale of fine art prints since the organization was set up in late 2021. Some of its profits were donated to the organization Direct Relief, which shipped more than 1,400 tons of medical supplies value d at $545 million to support 351 healthcare equipment in disaster zones. Other profits were able to provide fuel and vehicle assistance to support wildlife corridors (廊道), a monitoring program, and the restoration of the Snake River in the Pacific Northwest.

Have you ever accepted others’ help? Do you remember him or her? You may never know how much each gesture may mean to someone. Sometimes you may think your help is so small, but as a matter of fact, what you do is of vital significance to others.
When young, I worked as an English teacher in a university. During the summer vacation, I was invited to be an instructor at a high school leadership camp by a college. Having been highly involved in many campus activities, I jumped at the opportunity.
About an hour into the first day of camp, immersed (沉浸于) in communications and interactions, I noticed the boy in black for the first time. Small and skinny, the boy was seated alone, staring into space and his obvious discomfort and shyness made him appear fragile. The desperate loneliness he revealed almost stopped me from approaching him, but I remembered the instructions from the senior staff- to stay alert for campers who might fall left out.
I could sense that he was in a new world, that this whole surroundings appeared foreign to him. But I somehow knew it wouldn’t be right to push him, either. That evening at our nightly staff meeting, I made my concerns about him, I explained to my fellow staff members my impression of him and asked them to pay special attention and spend time with him when they could. In the meantime, it struck me that I should do what I could to give him a hand. I argued that he needed a friend, one who could share happiness and sorrow with him. I hoped to be his friend, his real friend to help him go through the challenging period.

“For an image to have significance, it needs to reach people. To this end, we are working to get the photographs of Vital Impacts photographers and our students into high-profile media and exhibitions around the world.”
The organization gives special attention to photographers who are committed to the planet. Funds will be used to support global conservation and environmental initiatives and the group will offer two $20,000 environmental storytelling awards.
Vital Impacts has raised more than $1.5 million from the sale of fine art prints since the organization was set up in late 2021. Some of its profits were donated to the organization Direct Relief, which shipped more than 1,400 tons of medical supplies value d at $545 million to support 351 healthcare equipment in disaster zones. Other profits were able to provide fuel and vehicle assistance to support wildlife corridors (廊道), a monitoring program, and the restoration of the Snake River in the Pacific Northwest.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章叙述了摄影师Ami Vitale和视觉记者Eileen Mignoni共同创办了非营利组织Vital Impacts。他们同100名摄影师一起精选出与野生动物和自然相关的照片进行售卖,所得收益则用于支持自然环境的保护工作。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。文章第一段“It’s a sweet moment, as a chimp reaches up to kiss his mother’s face. The touching photo was taken by the famous conservationist and activist Jane Goodall in 1993 in Gombe National Park in northwest Tanzania where she has studied chimpanzees for more than six decades.”(这是一个甜蜜的时刻,一只黑猩猩伸出手亲吻他母亲的脸。这张感人的照片是由著名的自然资源保护主义者和活动家简·古道尔于1993年在坦桑尼亚西北部的贡贝国家公园拍摄的,她在那里研究黑猩猩已有60多年了。)可知,开头描述了一张感人的照片,照片中一只黑猩猩在亲吻自己的妈妈。紧接着介绍了这张照片的拍摄背景,是著名的自然环境保护主义者和活动家Jane Goodall于1993年在贡贝国家公园拍摄的。以此引出下文中与环境保护相关的一个非营利组织。由此可推断,作者以分享照片为开端,引出下文。故选A。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“They are selling fine arts images, most of which focus on wildlife and nature, with earnings benefiting conservation organizations including Jane Goodall Institute’s Roots and Shoots program.”(他们出售美术图像,其中大部分关注野生动物和自然,收入用于保护组织,包括简·古道尔研究所的根与芽项目。)和第三段中Vitale所说的话“Our purpose is to use photography to create awareness and understanding.”(我们的目的是用摄影来创造意识和理解。)可知,Vital Impacts售卖的照片大多与野生动物和自然相关,所得收益则用于自然环境的保护。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中的“The organization gives special attention to photographers who are committed to the planet.”(该组织特别关注致力于保护地球的摄影师。)可知,Vital Impacts会重点关注致力于保护地球的摄影师。由此可推断,致力于环境保护的摄影师最有可能加入Vital Impacts组织。故选D。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。通读最后一段“Vital Impacts has raised more than $1.5 million from the sale of fine art prints since the organization was set up in late 2021. Some of its profits were donated to the organization Direct Relief, which shipped more than 1,400 tons of medical supplies value d at $545 million to support 351 healthcare equipment in disaster zones. Other profits were able to provide fuel and vehicle assistance to support wildlife corridors (廊道), a monitoring program, and the restoration of the Snake River in the Pacific Northwest.”(自2021年底成立以来,“Vital Impacts”已经从美术印刷品的销售中筹集了150多万美元。它的部分利润捐给了直接救济组织,该组织运送了1400多吨医疗用品,价值5.45亿美元,用于支持灾区的351台医疗设备。其他利润用于提供燃料和车辆援助,以支持野生动物走廊、监测项目和太平洋西北部斯内克河的恢复。)可知,本段主要介绍了Vital Impacts将售卖照片所筹集到的资金捐给其他组织,为它们提供援助,由此可以归纳,本段是对Vital Impacts这一组织所做出的贡献的介绍。故选C。

【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者通过讲述一位女士在感恩节带着冬衣,穿过人群去捐赠的故事,来告诉我们“一个人可以创造不同”这个道理。
【35题详解】
考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意:“一个人可以创造不同”这句话是我们在教育年轻人时非常重视的格言之一——鼓励他们去做一些有意义的事情,去帮助别人,或者去梦想他们将如何改变世界。分析句子结构可知,空格处在that引导的定语从句中作谓语,该句描述的是客观事实,故时态为一般现在时态。Attach importance to sth.是固定短语,意为“重视,认为有重要性”,attach与importance为动宾关系,故此题中attach要用被动语态be+done的结构,且作主语的importance为不可数名词,故此题中be动词用is。故填is attached。
【36题详解】
考查形容词。句意:“一个人可以创造不同”这句话是我们在教育年轻人时非常重视的格言之一——鼓励他们去做一些有意义的事情,去帮助别人,或者去梦想他们将如何改变世界。分析句子结构可知,空格处应填入形容词作定语修饰something。Significance为名词,意为“重要性,意义”,其形容词变形为significant,意为“有意义的,重要的”。故填significant。
【37题详解】
考查连词。句意:“一个人可以创造不同”这句话是我们在教育年轻人时非常重视的格言之一——鼓励他们去做一些有意义的事情,去帮助别人,或者去梦想他们将如何改变世界。分析句子结构可知,空格及后面的句子作介词about的宾语,为宾语从句的结构,故应填入连词来引导宾语从句。从句为完整的主谓宾结构,结合句意,连接副词how“如何,怎样”符合题意。故填how。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意:作为成年人,我们真的相信这个吗?分析句子结构可知,空格处应填入介词,与名词adults构成介宾结构。结合句意,介词as,意为“作为”符合题意。故填as。
【39题详解】
考查定语从句的关系词。句意:我写文章是想告诉你实际上“一个人可以做到”,因为我知道有一个人做了一个改变了我的生活和数百万人的生活的善举。根据句子结构及句意,空格前为主谓宾的句子结构,空格及后面部分也是句子结构,来修饰名词act“行为”,故为定语从句。空格处用来作谓语动词changed的主语,且指代act,故可用that/which引导限制性定语从句。故填that/which。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:大约15年前,当我开车穿过城镇时,我在听一个电台采访,听到了一个关于慷慨的励志故事。分析句子结构可知,空格处应填入非谓语动词作状语,且drive“开车”与句子主语I之间为逻辑上的主谓关系,故用现在分词表主动关系。故填driving。
【41题详解】
考查名词。句意:大约15年前,当我开车穿过城镇时,我在听一个电台采访,听到了一个关于慷慨的励志故事。提示词generous“慷慨的”为形容词,空格前的of为介词,故空格处应填入名词作其宾语。Generous的名词变形为generosity“慷慨”,且为不可数名词。故填generosity。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:一位女士带着十件冬衣穿过感恩节周末的拥挤人群,乘坐公共交通,为了在“一件温暖的外套”活动中捐赠。分析句子结构可知,had carried in为谓语,故动词donate“捐赠”为非谓语。结合句意,这位女士带着冬衣穿过拥挤的人群,是为了去捐赠衣服,故用不定式表目的。故填to donate。
【43题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:在过去的15年里,“一件温暖的外套”已经在全国范围内激励了超过400万件外套的捐赠。分析句子结构可知,空格处在句中作谓语,根据时间状语In the past 15 years“在过去的15年里”可知,时态为现在完成时态have/has+done的结构,主语One Warm Coat为第三人称单数,助动词用has。故填has inspired。
【44题详解】
考查冠词。句意:作为全国的创始人,我感到温暖,因为我知道我们每个人都有能力在每年的秋天和冬天为成千上万人的生活带来真正的改变。Make a difference为固定短语,意为“有影响,创造不同”。故填a。

Have you ever accepted others’ help? Do you remember him or her? You may never know how much each gesture may mean to someone. Sometimes you may think your help is so small, but as a matter of fact, what you do is of vital significance to others.
When young, I worked as an English teacher in a university. During the summer vacation, I was invited to be an instructor at a high school leadership camp by a college. Having been highly involved in many campus activities, I jumped at the opportunity.
About an hour into the first day of camp, immersed (沉浸于) in communications and interactions, I noticed the boy in black for the first time. Small and skinny, the boy was seated alone, staring into space and his obvious discomfort and shyness made him appear fragile. The desperate loneliness he revealed almost stopped me from approaching him, but I remembered the instructions from the senior staff- to stay alert for campers who might fall left out.
I could sense that he was in a new world, that this whole surroundings appeared foreign to him. But I somehow knew it wouldn’t be right to push him, either. That evening at our nightly staff meeting, I made my concerns about him, I explained to my fellow staff members my impression of him and asked them to pay special attention and spend time with him when they could. In the meantime, it struck me that I should do what I could to give him a hand. I argued that he needed a friend, one who could share happiness and sorrow with him. I hoped to be his friend, his real friend to help him go through the challenging period.

An idea occurred to me abruptly.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Half a year later, I heard from him.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 An idea occurred to me abruptly. Whether he would say yes or not I would try to invite him to our party tonight. As I walked toward him I said, “Hi, my name is Kate and I’m one of the instructor. It’s nice to meet you. How are you?” In a shaky, sheepish voice he unwillingly answered, “Okay, I guess.” I calmly asked him if he wanted to join the activity and meet some new people. He quietly replied, “No, this is not really my interest.” I had already knew the answer, so I left him alone. However, the next day, I tried again. This time I found several campers to come with me. When we approached to him, I tried again, with the same questions as before, “How are you doing? Are you okay? Would you like to come with us?” He refused us again. But I had no plan to give up. Therefore, I would invite him to every activity that followed.
Half a year later, I heard from him. There was an invitation of graduation party in the letter. When it was time for the senior high students to say goodbye to each other, a party was held for them to enjoy the last moment of their friendship. They gathered in the hall, singing, dancing and talking. I looked around to see what the boy was doing. Suddenly I saw what would be one of the most vivid memories of my life.The boy was surrounded by other students, who listened to his stories with great interest. The boy, who was quite different from how he reacted to the group activity, turned to be talkative. It was obvious that his inspiring description attracted his listeners. In that instant, I realized that you may never know how much each ask may mean to someone else.

【详解】①由第一段首句内容“我突然想到一个主意。”可知,第一段可描写作者想到了帮助男孩的主意的具体内容。
②由第二段首句内容“半年后,我收到了他的来信。”可知,第二段可描写作者帮助男孩之后,男孩的转变。
