Worryingly, they say as many as one million animals and plant species could die out in the next 30 years. Here are five of the world’s most endangered animals. The Amur leopards (远东豹) They belong to one of the world’s most unusual big cats, there only around 100 of them left in the wild. They are found in China and Russia, but the loss of their homes and lack of food have cut their numbers. Forest elephants They live in West and Central Africa. According to the survey, their population has fallen by 86% over the past 30 years due to illegal hunting (非法狩猎) and changes to their land. Sumatran orangutans (苏门答腊猩猩) The Sumatran orangutan is one of the three species of orangutans. They can be found only in the north of the Indonesian island of Sumatra. They are known for their red fur, but there are only 800 of those left in the wild. This is partly down to mining in the rainforests. Hawksbill turtles (玳瑁) They are found in the warmer waters of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Ocean. Over the past 30 years, numbers have fallen by at least 80% because they’re being accidentally caught in fishing nets, and their shells are being traded illegally. Mountain gorillas As their name tells, mountain gorillas live in forests high in the mountains. They have thicker fur, and more of it, compared to other great apes. Unrest in the Democratic Republic of Congo has forced them away from their natural homes. There are just 1,000 of them left. 11. What do Forest elephants and Hawksbill turtles have in common? A. They are facing illegal hunting. B. They grow up by the seaside. C. Their land has been changed. D. Their numbers have remained stable. 12. Which animals are forced to leave their homes because of wars? A. Forest elephants. B. Sumatran orangutans. C. Hawksbill turtles. D. Mountain gorillas. 13. What is the purpose of the text? A To offer tourism information to people. B. To introduce several endangered animals. C. To strengthen the sense of responsibility. D. To show the importance of unusual animals. B Dorothy Jean Tillman Ⅱ of Chicago, Illinois took her first college class at age 10. In December, 2023, she became the youngest person to earn a doctorate in integrated behavioural health (综合行为健康) at Arizona State University. When she completed her study programme, she was 17. Her friends and family, though, call Tillman by another name, “Dorothy Jeanius”. A “genius” is a very smart person. When most students her age were still in primary school, Tillman took classes through the College of Lake County in northern Illinois. She studied psychology and completed her associate’s (副的) degree in 2016. She earned a bachelor’s in humanities from New York’s Excelsior College in 2018. About two years later, she finished her master of science degree from Unity College in Maine. In 2021, she started work on her doctoral degree at Arizona State. Most of her work has been done online while living at home. Tillman said she credits her mother and grandmother for her educational success. But she did not get to do all the normal things for young people. “I didn’t have the everyday school things like school dances or spirit weeks or just school pictures and things like that ...” she said. She did find time for a dance programme and started an organization called the Dorothyjeanius STEAM Leadership Institute. STEAM stands for “science, technology, engineering, arts and maths”. The programme helps young people interested in those subjects during school breaks. Now that she has finished her studies, Tillman plans to work on raising money to expand her organization. She hopes to bring it to other places beyond Chicago. Her mother Jimalita Tillman said she is proud of her daughter’s ability to deal with success while making good choices between taking part in social activities and her studies. 14. Which university did she start studying college courses from? A. Unity College in Maine. B. Arizona State University. C. The College of Lake County. D. New York’s Excelsior College. 15. What is the reason for Tillman’s educational success? A. Her family’s help. B. Her personal efforts. C. The power of the Internet. D. Encouragement from her classmates. 16. What is the purpose of creating STEAM? A. To enrich daily life. B. To raise some money. C. To improve dance skills. D. To help others with certain subjects. 17 Which of the following can best describe Tillman? A. Honest and humorous. B. Proud and hard-working. C. Smart and caring. D. Traditional and outgoing. C About 20 years ago, Cary Fowler and Geoffrey Hawtin wanted to stop hunger and protect the world’s food supply. Fowler and Hawtin’s goal was to keep a supply of seeds (种子) safe if existing seed banks were put at risk by war, climate change, or other dangers. They decided to build their storage building into the side of a mountain north of the Arctic Circle. Their idea became the Svalbard Global Seed Vault on the Norwegian island of Svalbard. The vault opened in 2008 and now holds 1.25 million seed samples from nearly every country in the world. The structure was built into the side of a mountain. It protects the seeds of over 6000 kinds of agriculturally (农业上) important plants. Fowler and Hawtin were named the 2024 World Food Prize winners for their work. For many years, countries have created seed banks to store seeds for future use. But Fowler said he was concerned that climate change would cause disorder in agriculture. This would make the seed supply even more important. Hawtin said there were a lot of threats to crops in the past, such as insects, disease, and political unrest. He said that climate change has made these problems worse. So, he and Fowler saw a need for additional safe seed storage. Hawtin explained that climate change is changing insects and diseases. He added, “Climate change is putting a whole lot of extra problems on what has always been important ones.” Fowler and Hawtin said they hope to win the World Food Prize. It will help them raise more money for seed banks around the world. Managing them is not too exorbitant. However, the financial (财政的) support needs to continue forever. Norman Borlaug set up the World Food Prize. He received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970 for his part in what is called the “Green Revolution”. That was a big effort to make crops more productive so the world’s growing population would not go hungry. 18. What is the Svalbard Global Seed Vault? A. A farm. B. A garden. C. A storehouse. D. A seed bank. 19 What can we know about Cary Fowler and Geoffrey Hawtin? A. They both come from Norway. B. They are concerned about future climate change. C. They will be recommended for the Nobel Peace Prize. D. They may fail to win the World Food Prize. 20. What does the underlined “exorbitant” in Paragraph 6 mean? A. Costly. B. Worried. C. Satisfying. D. Simple. 21. Why does the author mention Norman Borlaug in the last paragraph? A. To stress the importance of agriculture. B. To introduce a Nobel Prize winner. C. To provide more background. D. To discuss the population problem. D The current US traffic signal (信号) system has been in place for more than 100 years. But experts are now studying ways to connect technology-equipped vehicles (交通工具) with signal systems in order to improve safety and traffic flows. Most US traffic signals currently include three lights to direct drivers at crossroads: red, yellow and green. But it might make sense to add a fourth colour, possibly white. This colour could inform motorists when there is a large collection of self-driving vehicles in a particular area. When many self-driving vehicles are present, the additional light would signal other drivers to follow the lead of those vehicles. The North Carolina State team thought that such changes are likely years away. One reason for this is because this kind of system would require between 40 to 50 percent of all vehicles on the road to be self-driving. Waymo is a self-driving vehicle company owned by Google’s parent, Alphabet. Waymo had already started ride-sharing services that use full self-driving vehicles in Los Angeles, California and Austin, Texas. Those services do not use a fourth traffic light. However, officials and companies should think very carefully before deciding on, and moving forward with, major infrastructure (基础设施) changes. Researchers at the University of Michigan are also testing different methods. They have carried out a test programme in an area outside the city of Detroit. Their research collects data on the speed and location of General Motors (GM) vehicles in the area. The data has been used to change the timing of city traffic lights in an effort to improve traffic flows. The area near Detroit where the testing is taking place has 34 traffic signals. It was chosen because lights in the area are set to change at the same times each day. This is the case for more than half of traffic signals nationwide. These signals are not connected to cameras or sensors to watch traffic flows in real time. Danielle Deneau is the director of traffic safety in Michigan. She said results of the University of Michigan research changed the timing of green lights only by a few seconds. However, Deneau added, even that was enough to improve traffic flows. 22. What can we infer from Paragraph 2? A. The white signal mainly directs dangerous traffic. B. Self-driving vehicles are not yet popular in the US. C. The white signal will change the basic traffic rules. D. The signal system in the US now has four colours. 23. What’s the author’s attitude towards major infrastructure changes? A. Supportive. B. Concerned. C. Unclear. D. Careful. 24. What is the method being tried by the University of Michigan? A. To add more signal colours. B. To change the green signal time. C. To get more traffic information. D. To connect more cameras or sensors. 25. What is the best title for the text? A. The Past and Future of Traffic Signal in the US B. Reasons for Changes in Self-driving Vehicles C. Researchers: Smarter Vehicles Could Greatly Change Traffic Signals D. American Traffic Signal: One of the Most Effective Management Strategies 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 If you have a big test coming up or just want to do well in class, studying is one of the best things you can do to improve your grade.
