Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. A Cecilia Chiang, the chef and restaurant owner, was greatly known for introducing regional Chinese dishes to the United States. She helped change the way Americans think about Chinese cooking. Chiang was born into a wealthy Shanghai family with two full-time chefs—one from the north and one from the south. In 1949 her family settled in Tokyo, opening a restaurant called the Forbidden City. But it was a 1960 trip in San Francisco that set Chiang on her dramatic journey to cooking fame. She was both shocked and amused by the food most Americans considered to be Chinese. “They think chop suey(杂烩) is the only thing we have in China,” she said with a laugh. “ What a shame.” So Chiang was determined to open a high-end Chinese restaurant that served authentic Chinese food. “Everybody said, ‘You cannot make it. You cannot speak English. You don’t know anything.’” she recalled. In 1961 then, Chiang opened the Mandarin. The restaurant wasn’t immediately successful. About a year after opening, the Mandarin received a mention from the San Francisco Chronicle (旧金山纪事报). The effect of the powerful writer’s positive comment was immediate. Tourists, dignitaries and celebrities(达官显贵)—from Mae West to John Lennon—flooded into the Mandarin for then -unfamiliar food like tea smoked duck twice cooked pork. Though the Mandarin was closed years later, Cecilia Chiang’s DNA can be found all over American Chinese food. Her son founded the chain P.F. Chang’s and the son of one of her chefs founded Panda Express. In early 2017, Chiang shared how she lived to be so old: “I always think about the better side, the good side of everything. I never think about, Oh, I’m going to fail. Oh, I cannot do this. Oh, I feel sorry for myself.” Instead, Chiang wrote books, starred in a PBS documentary series and won the most famous award in American cooking when she was 93 years old. 46. Cecilia Chiang opened the Mandarin in order to ________. A. remember her 1960 trip in San Francisco B. Serve real Chinese food to the Americans C. Show her shock and amusement towards food D. Continue her family tradition of running restaurants 47. What do we know about the Mandarin? A. It is in the charge of Chiang’s son now. B. It wasn’t successful until two years later. C. It turned out pretty popular among Americans. D. It changed the way Americans think about China. 48. Which of the following best describes Cecilia Chiang? A. Talented and active. B. Ambitious and selfless. C. Optimistic and creative. D. Positive and determined. 【答案】46. B 47. C 48. D 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Cecilia Chiang在美国创业开中菜馆获得成功，改变了美国人过去对中国菜的刻板印象并使中国菜在美国风靡的故事。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“So Chiang was determined to open a high-end Chinese restaurant that served authentic Chinese food.(Chiang决定开设一家高档中餐馆，提供正宗的中餐)”由此可知，Cecilia Chiang开设Mandarin餐馆是为了向美国人提供真正的中国菜。故选B。 【47题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段的“The restaurant wasn’t immediately successful. About a year after opening, the Mandarin received a mention from the San Francisco Chronicle. The effect of the powerful writer’s positive comment was immediate. Tourists, dignitaries and celebrities—from Mae West to John Lennon—flooded into the Mandarin for then-unfamiliar food like tea-smoked duck and twice-cooked pork.(这家餐厅并没有立即获得成功。开业大约一年后，《旧金山纪事报》提到了Mandarin。这位有影响力的作家的正面评论立刻产生了效果。从Mae West到John Lennon，游客、达官显贵和名人纷纷涌入Mandarin，品尝当时不熟悉的食物，比如茶熏鸭和回锅肉。)”可知，Chiang的Mandarin餐馆并不是一开张就获得成功的。在开了大约一年后，Mandarin餐馆被《旧金山纪事报》提到之后，很多游客和社会名流蜂拥而至来到Chiang的餐馆品尝当时他们并不熟悉的食物。再结合第五段的“Though the Mandarin was closed years later, Cecilia Chiang’s DNA can be found all over American Chinese food. Her son founded the chain P. F. Chang’s and the son of one of her chefs founded Panda Express.(尽管Mandarin餐馆几年后被关闭了，但Chiang的中国菜得以在美国传承下去。她的儿子创立了P. F. Chang连锁店，她的一位厨师的儿子创立了Panda Express)”可知，Chiang的中国菜得以在美国传承下去。所以Mandarin餐馆在被《旧金山纪事报》报道后便出名了，许多名人都前来尝试中餐，后来又得以传承下去。由此推知，Mandarin餐馆在美国人中很受欢迎。故选C。 【48题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Everybody said. ‘You cannot make it. You cannot speak English. You don’t know anything,’ she recalled. In 1961 then, Chiang opened the Mandarin.(“每个人都说，你做不到。你不会说英语。你什么都不知道”。她回忆道。但在1961年，Chang还是开办了Mandarin)”可知，虽然困难重重，Chang还是创立了餐厅。由此推知，Chang是一个意志坚定的人，即determined。再结合文章最后一段“I always think about the better side, the good side of everything.(我总是想到更好的一面，每件事好的一面)”可知，Chang总是看待事物更好的一面。由此推知，Chang是一个积极的人，即positive。所以Chang是一个positive(积极的)和determined(意志坚定的)的人。故选D。 B ADOPTADOLPHIN NOW And you will receive: ●WDC adoption pack ●A certificate of adoption ●Free magazine subscription ●Dolphin updates throughout the year She’s beautiful. She’s intelligent. Don’t let her die. Every two minutes another dolphin suffers a slow, painful death, accidentally trapped in fishing nets. Help end the suffering. More than 300000 dolphins die in fishing nets every year. You can help save dolphins around the world by adopting a UK dolphin for just £4 a month. Adopt now. WDC, Whale and Dolphin Conservation, is the leading global charity dedicated to the conservation and protection of whales and dolphins. We defend these remarkable creatures against the many threats that they face through campaigns, lobbying, advising governments, conservation projects, field research and rescue. Our vision is a world where every whale and dolphin is safe and free- including the dolphin you adopt. Meet the dolphins The dolphins each have their own personalities- on the dolphin you would like to adopt. The dolphins of Scotland’s Moray Firth are amazing but they face many threats. When you adopt a dolphin you will build a special link with an individual and help us to protect the whole population and give them a safer future. Kesslet Kesslet is a young mum who likes to hunt and play with her calf. Charlie. Kesslet is easy to spot because of her curved dorsal fin. She is friends with lots of the local dolphins and can be often seen travelling in groups of mums and youngsters. Mischief Mischief is a very friendly male dolphin who is always in party mood! He is often seen in big groups leaping around with friends such as Sundance. Mischief is also a powerful hunter who can outrun even the biggest salmon. He is easily recognized by the big nick(缺口) in his dorsal fin. Sundance Sundance was first spotted in 1990 when he was a tiny calf and now he’s a big adult male bottlenose dolphin. Sundance is really sociable and he just loves to leap around with friends. Why adopt a dolphin? “I can thoroughly recommend adopting a dolphin with WDC. It’s a fantastic way to support their amazing work. Plus, you get to know an individual dolphin!" says Miranda Krestovinikoff, BBC TV Presenter. Oil and gas exploration and production, large marina (码头) development, pollution, fisheries and more are increasingly putting pressure on the dolphins and their home. By adopting a dolphin, you will build a special link with an individual and help us to protect the whole population. Extinction is forever—the Moray Firth dolphins cannot be replaced. When you adopt a dolphin you will be helping to fund our work protecting dolphins around the world including: ●Essential research—the more we understand about the dolphins, the better we can protect them. ●Political campaigns to ensure effective laws are in place to protect the dolphins and give them a safer future. ●Equipment such as binoculars, cameras and acoustic recorders to help with our research.

D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。这是一则 WDC，鲸鱼和海豚保护组织的海豚领养公益广告，介绍了领养福利（领养包、证书、杂志订阅、全年动态）、待领养海豚的个性特点，说明了海豚面临的生存威胁（渔网误捕、污染、开发等），并明确了领养资金的用途，呼吁人们通过领养助力海豚保护。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。根据ADOPTADOLPHIN NOW中“Every two minutes another dolphin suffers a slow, painful death, accidentally trapped in fishing nets. Help end the suffering.( 每两分钟就有一头海豚因意外被困在渔网中而遭受缓慢而痛苦的死亡。请帮助终止这种痛苦。)”可知，根据广告开头所提及的海豚，可以推断出它们并非被故意捕杀。故选A项。 【50题详解】 细节理解题。根据ADOPTADOLPHIN NOW中“Dolphin updates throughout the year(每年有关海豚的最新资讯)”可知，一旦海豚被领养，海豚的最新消息就会发送给领养者。故选D项。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据Why adopt a dolphin?中“ Essential research — the more we understand about the dolphins, the better we can protect them.(开展关键研究至关重要 —— 我们对海豚的了解越深入，就越能更好地保护它们。)”、“Political campaigns to ensure effective laws are in place to protect the dolphins and give them a safer future.(开展相关政治行动，确保出台有效的法律保护海豚，为它们缔造更安全的未来。)”和“Equipment such as binoculars, cameras and acoustic recorders to help with our research.(双筒望远镜、照相机和声学记录仪这类设备，为我们的研究提供助力。)”可知，捐赠的资金被用于必要的研究、推动保护法律的政治活动以及 购买研究设备，由此可知，选项B“与个体海豚建立特殊联系”是领养人获得的情感体验，并非资金的使用方向。故选B项。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据Why adopt a dolphin?中“WDC, Whale and Dolphin Conservation, is the leading global charity dedicated to the conservation and protection of whales and dolphins.( 世界自然基金会（WDC，鲸鱼和海豚保护组织）是全球领先的致力于鲸鱼和海豚保护与拯救的慈善机构。)”介绍了其职能；“Every two minutes another dolphin suffers a slow, painful death, accidentally trapped in fishing nets. Help end the suffering.( 每两分钟就有一头海豚因意外被困在渔网中而遭受缓慢而痛苦的死亡。请帮助终止这种痛苦。)”、“You can help save dolphins around the world by adopting a UK dolphin for just £4 a month. Adopt now.( 您可以通过每月仅 4 英镑的价格领养一只英国海豚，来帮助拯救世界各地的海豚。现在就领养吧。)”说明了鼓励领养的原因；Why adopt a dolphin?中“Essential research(必要的研究)”、“Political campaigns to ensure effective laws(推动出台有效法律的政治行动)”以及“Equipment such as binoculars...( 诸如双筒望远镜之类的设备……)”详细列出了资金用于研究、法律推动和设备购买的具体方式。D选项 Some successful examples of adopted dolphins“一些已收养海豚的成功案例”，全文未提及任何领养海豚的成功案例，属于文中未提到的内容。故选D项。 C Alibaba co-founder and chairman Jack Ma on Monday announced in an open letter that he would step down, with the company CEO Daniel Zhang taking over as the chairman of the board. Zhang, is known as a key architect of Alibaba’s “Singles Day”, the Nov. 11 event that has become the world’s largest online shopping event. In the letter entitled “Happy Teachers’ Day,” Ma said he would retire as the chairman of the board on Sept. 10, 2019. Ma said he would work closely with Zhang to ensure a smooth transition and stay on the Alibaba board of directors until the annual shareholders meeting in two years. After he steps down, he will continue to be part of the “Alibaba Partnership”, which has the ability to nominate the majority of directors on the company’s board. He also wants to return to education and charity, which gives him excitement and blessings. “There’s only Bill Gates who has done the same. No other tech founder in the world has just resigned like that at the top,” said Rupert Hoogewerf, which publishes an annual influential list of China’s richest people. Hoogewerf added that in China, Ma was a figure like no other, with friends ranging from movie stars to billionaires, though he often outshone them all. “He’s the big one, he’s the one that brings them together.” The company was founded at a time when the industry was still dominated by state-owned firms and entrepreneurship was seen as a risky career path. Alibaba, previously recognized as an on-line shopping company, also has investments in sports content, microchips and facial recognition technology and has been positioning itself as a serious player in cloud computing. Mr. Ma said in the letter, “The one thing I can promise everyone is this: Alibaba was never about Jack Ma, but Jack Ma will forever belong to Alibaba.” 53. What do we learn about Abibaba from this passage? A. It was founded by Jack Ma alone. B. It is nothing more than an on-line shopping company. C. It was founded at the time when private-owned firms was in a minority. D. Its shareholders meeting holds twice a year. 54. What can we infer from paragraph 2? A. Hoogewerf speaks highly of Jack Ma’s firm. B. Bill Gates and Jack Ma have a lot in common. C. Other than stars and billionaires, Jack Ma makes few friends. D. Jack Ma is an influential person to unite his friends. 55. Jack Ma will do the following things after stepping down except________. A. Helping people in need. B. Ensuring the company’s transition. C. Education career. D. Suggesting candidates for the board. 56. What’s the best title for this passage? A. The Brief Introduction of Jack Ma B. Daniel Zhang to Take Over Alibaba C. Alibaba’s Development D. Jack Ma to Step Down as Alibaba’s Head 【答案】53. C 54. D 55. B 56. D 【解析】 【分析】本文为一篇说明文。文章讲述了马云在一封公开信中宣布辞去阿里巴巴董事长职务。 【53题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段第一句The company was founded at a time when the industry was still dominated by state-owned firms and entrepreneurship was seen as a risky career path.(该公司成立之际，该行业仍由国有公司主导，创业被视为一条危险的职业道路。)可推断，成立之初，私有企业占少数，故答案为C。 【54题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句He’s the big one, he’s the one that brings them together.(他是那个大人物，是那个把他们聚集在一起的人。)可推知，马云对于团结周围朋友来说是有影响力的人，答案为D。 【55题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段最后两句After he steps down, he will continue to be part of the “Alibaba Partnership”, which has the ability to nominate the majority of directors on the company’s board. He also wants to return to education and charity, which gives him excitement and blessings.(在他下台后，他将继续是“Alibaba Partnership”的一部分，Alibaba Partnership拥有提名阿里巴巴公司董事会的大多数董事。他还想回到教育和慈善事业，这给了他兴奋和祝福。)可知，在卸任后，马云会回归慈善和教育，并且有权推荐董事会候选人。故答案为B。 【56题详解】 主旨大意题，通读全文，尤其是文章首句Alibaba co-founder and chairman Jack Ma on Monday announced in an open letter that he would step down, with the company CEO Daniel Zhang taking over as the chairman of the board.(阿里巴巴联合创始人兼董事长马云周一在一封公开信中宣布，他将辞职，公司首席执行官张丹妮接任董事会主席。)可知，本文主要报道马云辞去阿里巴巴总裁一职，因此D符合文章主要内容，作为标题最为恰当。故答案是D。 Section C (8 points) Directions: Read the following passage.

Summary Writing (10 points) 61. Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point (s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Endangered Species An endangered species is a group of animals that could soon become extinct. Extinction happens when the last of the species has died out and there will be no more. Many species are nearly extinct and could disappear off the face of the earth very soon if we don’t do anything to save them. There are many reasons why-species become endangered but most of them are due to humans. Habitat destruction is the main reason why animals become endangered and this happens in two ways. When humans move into a new area, the animals’ habitat is destroyed and there is nothing to eat because humans chop down trees and build houses and farms. Animal habitats are also destroyed because of pollution. Chemicals in rivers and poisons on farms cause the destruction of habitats and animals can no longer live there. Endangered species are also the result of hunting and fishing. Animals are killed for their fur, bones or skin, or just for sport (消遣). Some seal species are now on the verge of extinction because they are killed for their fur to make coats. Tigers are shot to make medicine and tea from their bones, and crocodiles are caught to make bags and shoes. Overfishing means that large sea creatures like whales, tuna and sharks have all become endangered species, because too many are caught to make things like shark’s fin soup. So what can individuals and governments do to protect animal and plant species from becoming endangered? We should take care not to pollute natural areas, and farmers or companies who destroy animal habitats should face a financial penalty (处罚). Governments can help, too, by making it against the law to hunt, fish or trade in endangered species. If we all cooperate by taking these steps, we will protect our planet so that our children and their children can enjoy it too. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Animals soon to be extinct are called endangered species which are mainly caused by humans. The main reason is habitat destruction caused by humans moving into new areas and pollution. Another reason is hunting and fishing for animals’ fur, bones or skin, and sometimes sport. Individuals and governments should cooperate to protect habitat and ban hunting and fishing.

Translation (3+3+4+5=15 points) Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words or phrase given in the brackets. 62. 新政策适用于公司的所有部门。(apply) (汉译英) ______________________________________________________ 【答案】The new policy applies to all departments of the company. 【解析】 【详解】考查动词短语和名词。表示“新政策”用名词短语The new policy，作主语；表示“适用于”用动词短语apply to，描述客观事实用一般现在时，且主语是单数，此处用applies to，作谓语；表示“公司的所有部门”短语为all departments of the company，作宾语，故翻译为The new policy applies to all departments of the company. 63. 花一整天时间游览这座古镇是值得的。(worthwhile) （汉译英） ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】It is worthwhile to spend a whole day exploring this ancient town./It is worthwhile spending a whole day exploring this ancient town. 【解析】 【详解】考查固定句型和动名词。句子陈述事实，用一般现在时；表示“做某事是值得的”用固定句型It is worthwhile to do sth.... 或It is worthwhile doing sth....；表示“花一整天时间”用spend a whole day，spend用动名词形式或不定式形式均可；表示“游览这座古镇”用“explore this ancient town”。故翻译为It is worthwhile to spend a whole day exploring this ancient town./It is worthwhile spending a whole day exploring this ancient town. 64. 他被诊断患上了疟疾，医生建议他多休息。（diagnose）（汉译英） ______________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】He was diagnosed with malaria and the doctor advised/told him to take more rest. 【解析】 【详解】表示“他”用he，作主语，位于句首，首字母大写。表示“诊断患上（某种疾病）”用be diagnosed with，句子陈述过去发生的事情，时态用一般过去时，且主语为he，be动词用was；表示“疟疾”用malaria，作with的宾语。表示“医生”用the doctor，作and后句子的主语。表示“建议/告诉某人做某事”用advise/tell sb. to do sth.，句子陈述过去发生的事情，时态用一般过去时，所以谓语用advise/tell的过去式advised/told。表示“他”用him，作advise/tell的宾语。表示“多休息”have more rest，作宾补，用不定式形式。 65. 这位年轻的建筑师渐渐明白，成功没有捷径，要想在行业中有所建树，关键是要勤勤恳恳、脚踏实地。（dawn）(汉译英) ________________________________________________________________ 【答案】It gradually dawned on the young architect that there was no shortcut to success, and the key to making some achievements/establishing himself/getting/becoming established in this industry was diligence/hard work and down-to-earth effort. =It gradually dawned on the young architect that there was no shortcut to success, and if he wanted to make some achievements/establish himself/get/become established in this industry, the key was diligence/hard work and down-to-earth effort/is to be diligent/hard-working and down-to-earth. 【解析】 【详解】考查固定句型、时态、名词、名词短语和形容词。分析汉语句子，全句可以划分为两个大的层次，“这位年轻的建筑师渐渐明白”为一个层次，其后的内容为另一个层次。根据提示词，表示“某人明白……”可使用固定句型It dawned on sb. that…，其中It为形式主语，that之后的内容为真正主语，句子描述的是过去发生的事，动词dawn用一般过去时。“这位年轻的建筑师”译为the young architect，“逐渐”修饰动词dawned，用副词gradually，因此第一个层次译为It gradually dawned on the young architect that…。第二个层次的内容实为that之后的真正主语，根据前后关系，可处理为两个并列分句，第一并列分句为“成功没有捷径”，第二并列分句为“要想在行业中有所建树，关键是要勤勤恳恳、脚踏实地”，中间用并列连词and连接。“成功没有捷径”可使用there be句型，时态与第一个层次保持一致，用一般过去时；“成功（的）捷径”用名词短语shortcut to success，其中to为介词，表示方向，success为名词，作介词宾语，故第一并列分句译为there was no shortcut to success。第二个并列分句“要想在行业中有所建树，关键是要勤勤恳恳、脚踏实地”可处理为主系表结构，或含有条件状语从句的主从复杂句。主系表结构是“关键是要勤勤恳恳、脚踏实地”，其中“勤勤恳恳”可使用名词diligence或名词短语hard work，“脚踏实地”可译为down-to-earth effort，主系表结构为the key …was diligence/hard work and down-to-earth effort；“要想在行业中有所建树”可处理为介宾短语to sth.，作后置定语修饰the key。“有所建树”可译为动词短语make some achievements/establish oneself或get/become established，前面的to为介词，其中的动词应调整为动名词；“在行业中”为介词短语in this industry；故第二并列分句译为the key to making some achievements/establishing himself/getting/becoming established in this industry was diligence/hard work and down-to-earth effort。第二并列分句也可以处理为含有条件状语从句的主从复杂句。“要想在行业中有所建树”，译为条件状语从句，主语为he,指代the young architect，“要想”可用want to do…，时态与前面保持一致，用过去时，该条件状语从句为if he wanted to make some achievements/establish himself/get/become established in this industry；主句用主系表结构the key was…，表语“勤勤恳恳、脚踏实地”可使用名词和名词短语，也可使用to be+adj.结构。用名词和名词短语为diligence/hard work and down-to-earth effort，用to be+adj.结构则为to be diligent/hard-working and down-to-earth。故全句翻译为It gradually dawned on the young architect that there was no shortcut to success, and the key to making some achievements/establishing himself/getting/becoming established in this industry was diligence/hard work and down-to-earth effort. 或It gradually dawned on the young architect that there was no shortcut to success, and if he wanted to make some achievements/ establish himself/ get/become established in this industry, the key was diligence/hard work and down-to-earth effort/ is to be diligent/hard-working and down-to-earth.

A Cecilia Chiang, the chef and restaurant owner, was greatly known for introducing regional Chinese dishes to the United States. She helped change the way Americans think about Chinese cooking. Chiang was born into a wealthy Shanghai family with two full-time chefs—one from the north and one from the south. In 1949 her family settled in Tokyo, opening a restaurant called the Forbidden City. But it was a 1960 trip in San Francisco that set Chiang on her dramatic journey to cooking fame. She was both shocked and amused by the food most Americans considered to be Chinese. “They think chop suey(杂烩) is the only thing we have in China,” she said with a laugh. “ What a shame.” So Chiang was determined to open a high-end Chinese restaurant that served authentic Chinese food. “Everybody said, ‘You cannot make it. You cannot speak English. You don’t know anything.’” she recalled. In 1961 then, Chiang opened the Mandarin. The restaurant wasn’t immediately successful. About a year after opening, the Mandarin received a mention from the San Francisco Chronicle (旧金山纪事报). The effect of the powerful writer’s positive comment was immediate. Tourists, dignitaries and celebrities(达官显贵)—from Mae West to John Lennon—flooded into the Mandarin for then -unfamiliar food like tea smoked duck twice cooked pork. Though the Mandarin was closed years later, Cecilia Chiang’s DNA can be found all over American Chinese food. Her son founded the chain P.F. Chang’s and the son of one of her chefs founded Panda Express. In early 2017, Chiang shared how she lived to be so old: “I always think about the better side, the good side of everything. I never think about, Oh, I’m going to fail. Oh, I cannot do this. Oh, I feel sorry for myself.” Instead, Chiang wrote books, starred in a PBS documentary series and won the most famous award in American cooking when she was 93 years old. 46. Cecilia Chiang opened the Mandarin in order to ________. A. remember her 1960 trip in San Francisco B. Serve real Chinese food to the Americans C. Show her shock and amusement towards food D. Continue her family tradition of running restaurants 47. What do we know about the Mandarin? A. It is in the charge of Chiang’s son now. B. It wasn’t successful until two years later. C. It turned out pretty popular among Americans. D. It changed the way Americans think about China. 48. Which of the following best describes Cecilia Chiang? A. Talented and active. B. Ambitious and selfless. C. Optimistic and creative. D. Positive and determined.

More than 300000 dolphins die in fishing nets every year. You can help save dolphins around the world by adopting a UK dolphin for just £4 a month. Adopt now. WDC, Whale and Dolphin Conservation, is the leading global charity dedicated to the conservation and protection of whales and dolphins. We defend these remarkable creatures against the many threats that they face through campaigns, lobbying, advising governments, conservation projects, field research and rescue. Our vision is a world where every whale and dolphin is safe and free- including the dolphin you adopt. Meet the dolphins The dolphins each have their own personalities- on the dolphin you would like to adopt. The dolphins of Scotland’s Moray Firth are amazing but they face many threats. When you adopt a dolphin you will build a special link with an individual and help us to protect the whole population and give them a safer future. Kesslet Kesslet is a young mum who likes to hunt and play with her calf. Charlie. Kesslet is easy to spot because of her curved dorsal fin. She is friends with lots of the local dolphins and can be often seen travelling in groups of mums and youngsters. Mischief Mischief is a very friendly male dolphin who is always in party mood! He is often seen in big groups leaping around with friends such as Sundance. Mischief is also a powerful hunter who can outrun even the biggest salmon. He is easily recognized by the big nick(缺口) in his dorsal fin. Sundance Sundance was first spotted in 1990 when he was a tiny calf and now he’s a big adult male bottlenose dolphin. Sundance is really sociable and he just loves to leap around with friends. Why adopt a dolphin? “I can thoroughly recommend adopting a dolphin with WDC. It’s a fantastic way to support their amazing work. Plus, you get to know an individual dolphin!" says Miranda Krestovinikoff, BBC TV Presenter. Oil and gas exploration and production, large marina (码头) development, pollution, fisheries and more are increasingly putting pressure on the dolphins and their home. By adopting a dolphin, you will build a special link with an individual and help us to protect the whole population. Extinction is forever—the Moray Firth dolphins cannot be replaced.

C Alibaba co-founder and chairman Jack Ma on Monday announced in an open letter that he would step down, with the company CEO Daniel Zhang taking over as the chairman of the board. Zhang, is known as a key architect of Alibaba’s “Singles Day”, the Nov. 11 event that has become the world’s largest online shopping event. In the letter entitled “Happy Teachers’ Day,” Ma said he would retire as the chairman of the board on Sept. 10, 2019. Ma said he would work closely with Zhang to ensure a smooth transition and stay on the Alibaba board of directors until the annual shareholders meeting in two years. After he steps down, he will continue to be part of the “Alibaba Partnership”, which has the ability to nominate the majority of directors on the company’s board. He also wants to return to education and charity, which gives him excitement and blessings. “There’s only Bill Gates who has done the same. No other tech founder in the world has just resigned like that at the top,” said Rupert Hoogewerf, which publishes an annual influential list of China’s richest people. Hoogewerf added that in China, Ma was a figure like no other, with friends ranging from movie stars to billionaires, though he often outshone them all. “He’s the big one, he’s the one that brings them together.” The company was founded at a time when the industry was still dominated by state-owned firms and entrepreneurship was seen as a risky career path. Alibaba, previously recognized as an on-line shopping company, also has investments in sports content, microchips and facial recognition technology and has been positioning itself as a serious player in cloud computing. Mr. Ma said in the letter, “The one thing I can promise everyone is this: Alibaba was never about Jack Ma, but Jack Ma will forever belong to Alibaba.” 53.

The Benefits of Keeping a Journal If you want to grow, one important thing you should do is keeping a journal. It may seem simple, but it can make a big difference in your life.

By reviewing your journal, you can quickly see the lessons you’ve learned and the ideas you’ve gotten. ____58____ You can use the ideas to push yourself forward. ____59____ After keeping a journal for years, you can look back at it and see how far you’ve gone.

Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point (s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. Endangered Species An endangered species is a group of animals that could soon become extinct. Extinction happens when the last of the species has died out and there will be no more. Many species are nearly extinct and could disappear off the face of the earth very soon if we don’t do anything to save them. There are many reasons why-species become endangered but most of them are due to humans. Habitat destruction is the main reason why animals become endangered and this happens in two ways. When humans move into a new area, the animals’ habitat is destroyed and there is nothing to eat because humans chop down trees and build houses and farms. Animal habitats are also destroyed because of pollution. Chemicals in rivers and poisons on farms cause the destruction of habitats and animals can no longer live there. Endangered species are also the result of hunting and fishing. Animals are killed for their fur, bones or skin, or just for sport (消遣). Some seal species are now on the verge of extinction because they are killed for their fur to make coats. Tigers are shot to make medicine and tea from their bones, and crocodiles are caught to make bags and shoes. Overfishing means that large sea creatures like whales, tuna and sharks have all become endangered species, because too many are caught to make things like shark’s fin soup. So what can individuals and governments do to protect animal and plant species from becoming endangered? We should take care not to pollute natural areas, and farmers or companies who destroy animal habitats should face a financial penalty (处罚). Governments can help, too, by making it against the law to hunt, fish or trade in endangered species. If we all cooperate by taking these steps, we will protect our planet so that our children and their children can enjoy it too. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ V.
