Here is some advice on how to apply for and potentially win a scholarship! Finding Scholarships that Fit Your Needs. Scholarships are often offered to specific groups of people, and your background can open up scholarship opportunities. ★ If looking for scholarships in the US, you can start by searching the U.S. Department of Labor’s scholarship search. ★ If you come from a military family, look on the Federal Student Aid website for information on scholarships available to you. ★ If you know what colleges you plan to apply to or are already admitted into a certain college, look for merit scholarships(优秀奖学金) offered by these specific schools. You can find this information on their website or through the financial aid office. ★ Some colleges and private organizations offer service-based scholarships. If you have been particularly engaged in serving one specific cause, see if there are scholarships which specifically offer money to students who have served that cause. Writing Scholarship Essays. Do some research on the organization offering the scholarship and write down what they care about in one sentence. This will help you better understand your audience and consider ways to tailor your application to their expectations. For example, let’s say the organization wants to invest in future leaders. In your essay, you should include stories that demonstrate your abilities as a leader (in big or small settings). Please note: the last thing a scholarship committee wants to read is an essay lacking real personal information or flavor. Write in a voice that is true to who you are. Tell stories to illustrate your points but never lie about your experiences. Most importantly, don’t be disqualified for silly reasons like word limits, spell check and deadlines. Finding the right recommenders. Choose a teacher, coach, or employer who knows you well. Academic references should come from teachers and school administrators, while character references can come from employers, coaches or unrelated adults who you interact with regularly. Avoid relatives and friends. Sponsors naturally assume that their opinions are not objective and may not take them seriously as a result. 36. Compared with other financial aid, what’s the advantage of scholarships? A. It needn’t be paid back. B. It is easier to apply for. C. It can satisfy all your needs. D. It offers a larger sum of money. 37. If you’ve already been admitted into a university, which scholarship best suits you? A. Department of Labor’s scholarships. B. Merit scholarships. C Federal Student Aid scholarships. D. Service-based scholarships 38. What should be avoided in writing scholarship essays? A. Doing some research beforehand. B. Offering supporting evidence. C. Adding some fictional stories. D. Keeping the deadline in mind. 39. Who is not qualified for being a recommender? A. Your uncle. B. Your employer. C. Your colleague. D. Your teacher. 40. From which is the text probably taken? A. A textbook. B. A travel brochure C. A science magazine. D. An official website of a university. 【答案】36. A 37. B 38. C 39. A 40. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了如何申请奖学金。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Unlike most financial aid, scholarships allow you to earn money for college without the worry of needing to pay it back.”（与大多数经济援助不同，奖学金让你赚到上大学的钱，而不用担心需要偿还。）可知，与其他经济援助相比，奖学金的优势是它不需要偿还。故选A项。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“If you know what colleges you plan to apply to or are already admitted into a certain college, look for merit scholarships offered by these specific schools.”（如果你知道自己打算申请哪所大学，或者已经被某所大学录取了，那就去看看这些学校提供的优秀奖学金吧。）可知，如果你已经被一所大学录取，优秀学生奖学金最适合你。故选B项。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Write in a voice that is true to who you are. Tell stories to illustrate your points but never lie about your experiences.”（用真实的自己的声音来写作。讲故事来阐明你的观点，但绝不要对你的经历撒谎。）可知，在写奖学金论文时应该避免增加一些虚构的故事。故选C项。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Avoid relatives and friends. Sponsors naturally assume that their opinions are not objective and may not take them seriously as a result.”（避开亲朋好友。赞助者自然认为他们的意见不客观，因此可能不会认真对待。）故可推知，你的叔叔没有资格成为推荐人。故选A项。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章大意以及“If you come from a military family, look on the Federal Student Aid website for information on scholarships available to you.”（如果你来自军人家庭，可以在联邦学生援助网站上查找奖学金信息。）和“You can find this information on their website or through the financial aid office.”（你可以在他们的网站上或通过财政援助办公室找到这些信息。）故可推知，这篇文章可能是来自大学的官方网站。故选D项 B For 25 years, Elephants Alive has been studying African elephants, to ensure their survival and to promote harmony with humans. We work in the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Area, monitoring elephant population dynamics and movements across South Africa, Zimbabwe and Mozambique. We have used over 180 satellite collars to understand elephant movements and developed an individual elephant identification database of over 2,000 elephants. Our long-term research is providing vital information for conservation management, helping to secure the future of these elephants. We are now urgently prioritizing (优先处理) the small populations of elephants remaining in southern Mozambique. There are three National Parks here, Zinave, Banhine and the Limpopo National Park — with wildlife corridors (通道) linking these reserves. However, poor farmers living in the reserves or the corridors linking them, are worried about their crops’ being attacked by the elephants. Where income is limited, poverty may drive some locals into illegal killing of elephants for both their meat and teeth. Our research is showing that when elephants feel challenged, they may attack crops or run through corridors under the cover of darkness to try and avoid conflicts with humans. Elephants Alive is developing bee-keeping and agricultural programmes with local women in South Africa as a proof of concept to be carried out in Mozambique. Growing crops that elephants are known to dislike in conflict areas can provide valuable income to poor communities that have to share their land with elephants as these crops can be sold for income. Elephants are known to be scared of bees, so bees can also be used to protect crops and at the same time produce honey, which can be sold for money. By developing bee-keeping near Protected Areas, and uplifting women as social role models and community leaders, peaceful coexistence with elephants can be realised. Please help support this urgent work to protect the elephants in Southern Mozambique and uplift the rural communities in these crucial wildlife corridor areas. Your donation counts! 41. How did Elephants Alive monitor elephant population dynamics and movements? A. By consulting local people. B. By referring to elephant database. C. By seeking help from volunteers. D. By making use of high technology. 42. What’s the purpose of the Elephants Alive’s long-term research? A. To better protect the safety of elephants. B. To persuade farmers to give up farming. C. To better study the living behavior of elephants. D. To prevent the population of elephants from increasing. 43. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The poverty in Mozambique. B. The National Parks in Mozambique. C. The illegal killing of elephants in Mozambique. D. People’s conflicts with elephants in Mozambique. 44. Which can best describe the measures taken to help solve people’s conflicts with elephants? A. Easier said than done. B. Kill two birds with one stone. C. Three heads are better than one. D. Where there is a will, there is a way. 45. What is the purpose of the passage? A. Appeal to people to donate. B. Praise researchers’ efforts. C. Introduce bee—keeping programmes. D. Stress the importance of National Parks. 【答案】41. D 42. A 43. D 44. B 45. A 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍“大象生存”组织如何通过科学研究、技术创新与社区发展相结合的综合策略，解决莫桑比克南部地区日益严峻的人象冲突，并呼吁公众支持这一保护工作。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“We have used over 180 satellite collars to understand elephant movements and developed an individual elephant identification database of over 2, 000 elephants.(我们使用了180多个卫星项圈来了解大象的活动轨迹，并建立了一个包含2000多头大象的个体识别数据库。)”可知，“大象生存”这个组织使用了180多个卫星项圈来研究大象的活动，这属于高科技检测手段。故选D。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Our long-term research is providing vital information for conservation management, helping to secure the future of these elephants.(我们的长期研究为保护管理提供了至关重要的信息，有助于确保这些大象的未来。)”可知，这个机构长期的研究是为了为保护管理提供重要的信息，从而更好的保护大象的安全。故选A。 【43题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“We are now urgently prioritizing (优先处理) the small populations of elephants remaining in southern Mozambique. There are three National Parks here, Zinave, Banhine and the Limpopo National Park — with wildlife corridors (通道) linking these reserves. However, poor farmers living in the reserves or the corridors linking them, are worried about their crops’ being attacked by the elephants. Where income is limited, poverty may drive some locals into illegal killing of elephants for both their meat and teeth. Our research is showing that when elephants feel challenged, they may attack crops or run through corridors under the cover of darkness to try and avoid conflicts with humans. (目前，我们正紧急优先关注莫桑比克南部残存的少量大象种群。这里有齐纳韦、巴尼内和林波波三个国家公园，并有野生动物走廊连接这些保护区。然而，生活在保护区或连接走廊内的贫困农民担心他们的庄稼遭到大象破坏。在收入有限的情况下，贫困可能驱使一些当地人非法猎杀大象以获取肉和象牙。我们的研究表明，当大象感到受威胁时，它们可能会袭击农作物，或在夜幕掩护下快速穿越走廊，试图避免与人类发生冲突。)”可知，本段介绍了莫桑比克国家公园及生态走廊的情况，农民因庄稼被大象破坏而担忧，贫困可能导致非法猎杀大象，大象在受威胁时可能引发更多人象冲突。故本段的核心内容是阐述人与大象之间的冲突。故选D。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“Growing crops that elephants are known to dislike in conflict areas can provide valuable income to poor communities that have to share their land with elephants as these crops can be sold for income. Elephants are known to be scared of bees, so bees can also be used to protect crops and at the same time produce honey, which can be sold for money. By developing bee-keeping near Protected Areas, and uplifting women as social role models and community leaders, peaceful coexistence with elephants can be realised.(在冲突地区种植大象不喜欢的作物，可以为必须与大象共享土地的贫困社区提供宝贵的收入来源，因为这些作物可以出售。众所周知，大象害怕蜜蜂，因此蜜蜂也可用于保护庄稼，同时生产可出售的蜂蜜。通过在保护区附近发展养蜂业，并提升妇女作为社会榜样和社区领袖的地位，可以实现与大象的和平共处。)”可知，种植大象不喜欢的作物，既减少冲突，又能卖钱；养蜜蜂驱赶大象，既保护庄稼，又能产蜜卖钱；培养女性养蜂人，既促进社区发展，又推动和平共存。这些措施都具有“一举两得”的效果，因此“一石二鸟”最能形容这些措施。故选B。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Please help support this urgent work to protect the elephants in Southern Mozambique and uplift the rural communities in these crucial wildlife corridor areas. Your donation counts!(请支持这项保护莫桑比克南部大象、提升这些关键野生动物走廊地区农村社区的紧急工作。您的捐款至关重要！)”可知，文章最后一段呼吁大家支持这项保护工作，并提到大家的捐款很重要，故文章的目的是为了呼吁大家捐款。故选A。 A research project called Mineral has created robots that move around in farm fields. The project aims to use computers to help farmers grow more food in ways that are healthy for the environment. With the number of people on earth getting bigger each year, more food needs to be grown in order to feed everyone. As weather patterns continue to change because of the climate crisis, this task is becoming even more difficult. Some experts say that to feed everyone, more food will need to be grown over the next 50 years than in the last 10,000 years. In the past, farmers tried to quickly increase the amount they produce, using methods that were not always healthy for the environment— more fields, fertilizers, and pesticides。 Instead, the focus of the Mineral project is on getting farms to produce more by improving conditions for each plant. Elliot Grant, who leads the project, says the goal is to “manage the plant instead of the plot.” Mineral’s team spent several years talking to farmers to see what problems they were having and how these problems might be fixed. That led to the creation of special robots, called “plant buggies”. At first, the buggies were very simple. They were built on bicycles and took pictures with cell phones. Over time, they’ve been improved repeatedly. The plant buggies roll on four wheels and are high enough to glide(滑行) over rows of plants without hurting them. They’re covered in solar panels and have strong wheels, allowing them to roll through muddy fields. The robots can take detailed pictures of plants, track each plant’s location, and measure the plant’s size. Before, farmers had information about the soil and the weather, but they couldn’t track every plant. Now, with Mineral’s robots, they can. By collecting lots of information like this, Mineral believes computers can help farmers make predictions about how their plants will grow. Studying each individual plant could end up saving time and money. For example, if robots can spot which plants have diseases, farmers can quickly get rid of these plants before they ruin the entire crop, allowing farmers to only fertilize and water the plants that truly need it. 46. What’s the Mineral project’s goal? A. To replace farmers with robots. B. To design and sell farming robots. C. To better handle environmental pollution. D. To improve food production in a green way. 47. What contributes to the need for more food? A. The increasing population. B. The constant disasters. C. People’s bigger appetite. D. The development of industry. 48. What does the underlined part “the plot” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. The series of events. B. A secret plan. C. The mark on a map. D. A piece of farmland. 49. Which aspect of plant buggies is mainly talked about in Paragraph 4? A. Its classification. B. Its structure. C. Its low cost. D. Its shortcoming. 50. What is special about plant buggies? A. They can collect soil information. B. They can make weather predictions. C. They can monitor each plant’s condition. D. They can help fertilize and water the crops. 【答案】46. D 47. A 48. D 49. B 50. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一个名为Mineral的研究项目创造了在农田中移动的机器人。该项目旨在使用计算机帮助农民以对环境健康的方式种植更多的食物。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“A research project called Mineral has created robots that move around in farm fields. The project aims to use computers to help farmers grow more food in ways that are healthy for the environment.”（一个名为Mineral的研究项目创造了在农田中移动的机器人。该项目旨在使用计算机帮助农民以对环境健康的方式种植更多的食物。）可知，Mineral项目的目标是以绿色方式提高粮食生产。故选D项。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“With the number of people on earth getting bigger each year, more food needs to be grown in order to feed everyone. As weather patterns continue to change because of the climate crisis, this task is becoming even more difficult. Some experts say that to feed everyone, more food will need to be grown over the next 50 years than in the last 10,000 years.”（随着地球上的人口每年都在增加，为了养活每个人，需要种植更多的食物。由于气候危机，天气模式不断变化，这项任务变得更加困难。一些专家说，为了养活所有人，未来50年需要种植的粮食比过去1万年还要多。）可知，不断增长的人口导致了对更多食物的需求。故选A项。 【48题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第二段中“In the past, farmers tried to quickly increase the amount they produce, using methods that were not always healthy for the environment— more fields, fertilizers, and pesticides。”（在过去，农民试图快速增加产量，使用的方法并不总是对环境有益——更多的田地、化肥和农药。）以及第三段中“Instead, the focus of the Mineral project is on getting farms to produce more by improving conditions for each plant.”（相反，该项目的重点是通过改善每间工厂的条件来提高农场产量。）可知，在过去，农民试图增加更多田地快速增加产量，但是现在通过改善每间工厂的条件来提高农场产量。故可猜测plot为“地块”的意思，结合选项D项A piece of farmland“一块农田”意思一致。故选D项。 【49题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段中“Over time, they’ve been improved repeatedly. The plant buggies roll on four wheels and are high enough to glide over rows of plants without hurting them. They’re covered in solar panels and have strong wheels, allowing them to roll through muddy fields.”（随着时间的推移，它们不断得到改进。这种种植车有四个轮子，足够高，可以在不伤害植物的情况下滑过一排排植物。它们被太阳能电池板覆盖，有强大的车轮，可以在泥泞的田野上滚动。）可知，第四段主要讨论了植物车的结构。故选B项。 【50题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“The robots can take detailed pictures of plants, track each plant’s location, and measure the plant’s size.”（机器人可以拍摄植物的详细照片，跟踪每个植物的位置，并测量植物的大小。）可知，植物车它们可以监控每株植物的状况。故选C项。 四、阅读表达（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读表达 Gloria Scott decided it was time to call an electrician in early August after she turned on a light switch in her kitchen and suddenly a flash of light flew overhead. Obviously, the lights need repairing. Electrician John Kinney fixed the problem and got her lights working again. But when he returned to his own home that weekend, he couldn’t stop thinking about Scott, 72, living with her dog in her shabby house in Woburn, Mass. “She reminded me of my grandma, who passed away 10 years ago,” said Kinney, 37, who runs Kinney Electric. “Her wiring was in bad shape and I really worried about her safety.” The following Monday, Kinney returned to Scott’s home with an extra offer. While organizing things inside her house, he noticed that she had no hot water coming out of her faucets(水龙头). He also discovered that her kitchen sink was broken and the ceilings were full of holes... It was then that Kinney decided to start a Facebook page called “A Nice Old Lady Needs Help” and raise funds to do all of the repairs. To his surprise, it went viral. In less than a month, nearly $115, 000 was raised and the campaign now has a new name: “Gloria’s Gladiators.” “We were hoping to inspire others and that’s exactly what is happening,” said Kinney, noting that the Gloria’s Gladiators group now has more than 15, 000 members—many of whom were inspired by Scott’s story to begin doing free home repairs in their own neighborhoods. Scott felt so thankful for Kinney and other volunteers’ help that she was speechless. Kinney said he’s thankful for the opportunity to repair Scott’s home, and there is something else that has also brought him joy. “We’ve opened up Gloria’s world,” he said. “Now, I hope we can do the same for all of the other Glorias out there. Nobody should have to go through life alone. ” 51. Why did Scott decide to call an electrician? (no more than 6 words) ______________________________________________ 52. Whom did Scott remind Kinney of? (no more than 2 words) ______________________________________________ 53. How do you understand the underlined part “it went viral” in Paragraph 5?

When you meet poor and lonely people, what will you do? Please share. (no more than 20 words) ______________________________________________ 【答案】51. Because her kitchen lights needed repairing. 52. His grandma. 53. It spread widely online. 54. Thankful. 55. I will offer help if possible and encourage other to join in, so they feel cared for and not alone. 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。通过讲述电工John Kinney主动帮助独居老人Gloria Scott并发动社群援助的故事，展现个体善行如何激发广泛的社区爱心与行动，并传递“不应让任何人孤独生活”的人文关怀理念。 【51题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章第一段“Gloria Scott decided it was time to call an electrician in early August after she turned on a light switch in her kitchen and suddenly a flash of light flew overhead. Obviously, the lights need repairing.(八月初，Gloria Scott决定请一位电工上门，因为她在厨房打开电灯开关时，突然一道闪光从头顶掠过。显然，家里的灯具需要修理了。)”可知，Scott决定请一位电工是因为她家里厨房的灯坏了，需要修理。故答案为：Because her kitchen lights needed repairing。 【52题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章第三段““She reminded me of my grandma, who passed away 10 years ago,” said Kinney, 37, who runs Kinney Electric.(“她让我想起了十年前去世的祖母，” 37岁经营着“金尼电工”的Kinney说道。)”可知，Scott让Kinney想起了他的祖母，故答案为：His grandma。 【53题详解】 考查词句猜测。根据所给划线句后文的内容“In less than a month, nearly $115, 000 was raised and the campaign now has a new name: “Gloria’s Gladiators.”(不到一个月，就筹集了近11.5万美元，这项行动现在有了一个新名字：“Gloria的守护者”。)”可知，划线句后文提到，这项活动受到了良好的反应，不到一个月便筹集到了11.5万美元，故可推知，划线句意为“它在网上传播开来”，故答案为：It spread widely online。 【54题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章倒数第三段“Scott felt so thankful for Kinney and other volunteers’ help that she was speechless.( Scott对Kinney和其他志愿者的帮助感激得说不出话来。)”可知，Scott对志愿者的帮助感到无比感激。故答案为：Thankful。 【55题详解】 考查开放性试题。根据文章最后一段““We’ve opened up Gloria’s world,” he said. “Now, I hope we can do the same for all of the other Glorias out there. Nobody should have to go through life alone. ”(“我们打开了Gloria世界，”他说。“现在，我希望我们也能为世界上其他所有的‘Glorias’做同样的事。没有人应该孤独地度过一生。”)”可知，文章通过讲述电工John Kinney主动帮助独居老人Gloria Scott并发动社群援助的故事，展现个体善行如何激发广泛的社区爱心与行动，因此在面对贫穷且孤独的老人时，我会提供帮助并鼓励其他人参与进来，这样他们会感受到被关心，不再孤单。故答案为：I will offer help if possible and encourage other to join in, so they feel cared for and not alone。 五、书面表达（满分25分） 56. 假设你是晨光中学高三学生李津。你们校团委打算下周举办“图书漂流”（BookCrossing）活动：拿出自己喜欢的图书放在学校任意公共场所，感兴趣的同学读完以后将书放回原处，让其继续漂流。请你给交换生Chris写一封邮件，邀请他参加此次活动，内容包括： （1） 介绍本次活动内容 （2） 活动意义； （3） 发出邀请。 注意： （1） 词数不少于100； （2） 可适当加入细节，使内容充实，行文连贯； （3） 开头已给出，不计入总词数 参考词汇： 校团委 School Youth League Committee Dear Chris, I’d like to share a piece of good news with you. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours Li Jin 【答案】Dear Chris, I’d like to share a piece of good news with you.

Here is some advice on how to apply for and potentially win a scholarship! Finding Scholarships that Fit Your Needs. Scholarships are often offered to specific groups of people, and your background can open up scholarship opportunities. ★ If looking for scholarships in the US, you can start by searching the U.S. Department of Labor’s scholarship search. ★ If you come from a military family, look on the Federal Student Aid website for information on scholarships available to you. ★ If you know what colleges you plan to apply to or are already admitted into a certain college look for merit scholarships(优秀奖学金) offered by these specific schools. You can find this information on their website or through the financial aid office. ★ Some colleges and private organizations offer service-based scholarships. If you have been particularly engaged in serving one specific cause, see if there are scholarships which specifically offer money to students who have served that cause. Writing Scholarship Essays. Do some research on the organization offering the scholarship and write down what they care about in one sentence. This will help you better understand your audience and consider ways to tailor your application to their expectations. For example, let’s say the organization wants to invest in future leaders. In your essay, you should include stories that demonstrate your abilities as a leader (in big or small settings). Please note: the last thing a scholarship committee wants to read is an essay lacking real personal information or flavor. Write in a voice that is true to who you are. Tell stories to illustrate your points but never lie about your experiences. Most importantly, don’t be disqualified for silly reasons like word limits, spell check and deadlines. Finding the right recommenders. Choose a teacher, coach, or employer who knows you well. Academic references should come from teachers and school administrators, while character references can come from employers, coaches or unrelated adults who you interact with regularly. Avoid relatives and friends. Sponsors naturally assume that their opinions are not objective and may not take them seriously as a result. 36. Compared with other financial aid, what’s the advantage of scholarships? A. It needn’t be paid back. B It is easier to apply for. C. It can satisfy all your needs. D. It offers a larger sum of money. 37. If you’ve already been admitted into a university, which scholarship best suits you? A. Department of Labor’s scholarships. B. Merit scholarships. C. Federal Student Aid scholarships. D. Service-based scholarships 38. What should be avoided in writing scholarship essays? A. Doing some research beforehand. B. Offering supporting evidence. C. Adding some fictional stories. D. Keeping the deadline in mind. 39. Who is not qualified for being a recommender? A. Your uncle. B. Your employer. C. Your colleague. D. Your teacher. 40. From which is the text probably taken? A. A textbook. B. A travel brochure C. A science magazine. D. An official website of a university. B For 25 years, Elephants Alive has been studying African elephants, to ensure their survival and to promote harmony with humans. We work in the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Area, monitoring elephant population dynamics and movements across South Africa, Zimbabwe and Mozambique. We have used over 180 satellite collars to understand elephant movements and developed an individual elephant identification database of over 2,000 elephants. Our long-term research is providing vital information for conservation management, helping to secure the future of these elephants. We are now urgently prioritizing (优先处理) the small populations of elephants remaining in southern Mozambique. There are three National Parks here, Zinave, Banhine and the Limpopo National Park — with wildlife corridors (通道) linking these reserves. However, poor farmers living in the reserves or the corridors linking them, are worried about their crops’ being attacked by the elephants. Where income is limited, poverty may drive some locals into illegal killing of elephants for both their meat and teeth. Our research is showing that when elephants feel challenged, they may attack crops or run through corridors under the cover of darkness to try and avoid conflicts with humans. Elephants Alive is developing bee-keeping and agricultural programmes with local women in South Africa as a proof of concept to be carried out in Mozambique. Growing crops that elephants are known to dislike in conflict areas can provide valuable income to poor communities that have to share their land with elephants as these crops can be sold for income. Elephants are known to be scared of bees, so bees can also be used to protect crops and at the same time produce honey, which can be sold for money. By developing bee-keeping near Protected Areas, and uplifting women as social role models and community leaders, peaceful coexistence with elephants can be realised. Please help support this urgent work to protect the elephants in Southern Mozambique and uplift the rural communities in these crucial wildlife corridor areas. Your donation counts! 41. How did Elephants Alive monitor elephant population dynamics and movements? A. By consulting local people. B. By referring to elephant database. C. By seeking help from volunteers. D. By making use of high technology. 42. What’s the purpose of the Elephants Alive’s long-term research? A. To better protect the safety of elephants. B. To persuade farmers to give up farming. C. To better study the living behavior of elephants. D. To prevent the population of elephants from increasing. 43. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The poverty in Mozambique. B. The National Parks in Mozambique. C. The illegal killing of elephants in Mozambique. D. People’s conflicts with elephants in Mozambique. 44. Which can best describe the measures taken to help solve people’s conflicts with elephants? A. Easier said than done. B. Kill two birds with one stone. C. Three heads are better than one. D. Where there is a will, there is a way. 45. What is the purpose of the passage? A. Appeal to people to donate. B. Praise researchers’ efforts. C. Introduce bee—keeping programmes. D.

In less than a month, nearly $115, 000 was raised and the campaign now has a new name: “Gloria’s Gladiators.” “We were hoping to inspire others and that’s exactly what is happening,” said Kinney, noting that the Gloria’s Gladiators group now has more than 15, 000 members—many of whom were inspired by Scott’s story to begin doing free home repairs in their own neighborhoods. Scott felt so thankful for Kinney and other volunteers’ help that she was speechless. Kinney said he’s thankful for the opportunity to repair Scott’s home, and there is something else that has also brought him joy. “We’ve opened up Gloria’s world,” he said. “Now, I hope we can do the same for all of the other Glorias out there. Nobody should have to go through life alone. ” 51. Why did Scott decide to call an electrician? (no more than 6 words) ______________________________________________ 52.
