"The main reason for the smaller number of giraffes is their loss of living places,"said Fennessy,"as an increasing part of land is used for farming.But hunting also has a big influence.""You might wonder why hunters would focus on giraffes.First of all,once a giraffe is brought down,there is lots of meat with a small amount of effort.Besides,there is another thing encouraging the hunting.In Tanzania,Fennessy says,the latest word on the street is that eating giraffe meat could cure AIDS.Fresh giraffe heads and bones can be sold at prices of up to $140 per piece. Another widespread misconception about giraffes is that they are everywhere.Look at kids'books which are full of giraffes.They are always in zoo collections.They can be seen easily,so you don't think we have to worry about them. But the truth is that they are in danger of extinction.There is a lack of right and true data. Fennessy and other researchers are now pulling together the data needed to improve the situation of the entire giraffe species and all nine subspecies().The information will be used to change the giraffe's listing on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red list,which now lists the species as of"least concern"but two subspecies as"endangered"."It's a lot of work to gather the necessary information,"Fennessy says."And several other 第32页？共38页 giraffe subspecies will be recommended for endangered listings next year or the year after."He hopes that the world will finally start to take notice of how endangered these beloved animals have become. 21.By saying"It's a silent extinction",Fennessy tells us that A.giraffes are unpopular in Africa B.the giraffes is always silent in daily life C.the ecology of Africa needs more attention D.the extinction happens without enough attention 22.The misconception in Paragraph 3 can be corrected by. A.preventing illegal hunting in Africa B.rewriting kids'books about giraffes C.providing reliable data about giraffes D.spreading scientific knowledge of AIDS 23.The final purpose of Fennessy's great efforts is to A.collect more information about giraffes B.raise public awareness of protecting giraffes C.prove giraffes will disappear in the next few years D.work with the International Union for Conservation of Nature B When it comes to generation gap ()we usually think of different tastes in music,or pastimes.But now the generation gap is handwriting.After one teacher in Tennessee discovered that she had students who couldn't read what she was writing on the board,she posted it on the Internet saying that handwriting should be taught in schools. Others who are against it claim that handwriting has become out of time in our modern world.Typed words have become a main form of communication.Once a practical skill,handwriting is no longer used by most of Americans.It is no longer taught in schools,and some claim that the time that it would take to teach it could be put to better use,for example,by teaching the technical skills. But even in today's world there are still plenty of reasons to pick up a pen and write on the paper.In America, signatures (by hand are still often required,for example,signing for a registered letter and buying a house.And original signatures are much more difficult to fake () There is also strong evidence that writing by hand is good for the mind.It makes a different part of the brain active and improves fine moving skills in young children.People are also more likely to remember what they write by hand than what they type,and the process of writing by hand has been shown to stimulate ideas.Not only those,studies have shown that kids who write by hand learn to read and spell earlier than those who don't. Yes,we live in a modern world,but we live in a modern world of basic and important values. 24.What did the teacher find in her class? A.Her students were too lazy to follow her class. B.Her handwriting was too terrible to understand C.There was something wrong with some students,eyes D.Some students could not recognize her written words on the board. 25.Some people are against handwriting teaching because they think A.handwriting is a practical skill B.handwriting is no longer popular 第33页，共38页 C.it's difficult to fake typed signatures D.handwriting is no longer used by Americans 26.How many advantages does handwriting have for the mind? A.3. B.4. C.7. D.8. 27.The underlined word"stimulate"in Paragraph 4 probably means A.cause B.collect C.exchange D.influence C We have recently heard some interesting ways that 5G wireless technology might change our lives in the future. One project in Britain is testing this super-fast technology,but not on humans.Instead,the experiment involves an unlikely group of Internet users-cows.The system connects the animals to 5G in an effort to automate the milking process. The project was developed by American technology company Cisco Systems.It is part of a Cisco-led program called 5G Rural First.Cisco says the program seeks to explore the future of 5G connectivity in rural communities around the world.Rural areas are expected to be the last to receive 5G service. Testing areas were set up on farms in three rural areas of England.The cows are equipped with 5G-connected devices that link up to a robotic milking system.The system uses sensors and machine learning to fully automate the process,System designers say the technology takes over after a cow feels ready to be milked and walks toward an automatic gate.The device is designed to recognize each individual cow.It then positions equipment to the right body position for milking.During the process,machines release food for the cow as a reward. One of the test areas is in the town of Shepton Mallet,in southwest England.There about 50 of the farm's 180 cows are fitted with 5G smart collars and health-observing ear sensors.Project officials say the devices do not harm the cows and the sensors permit farmers to immediately identify any problem or health concerns. Other technology tools powering the 5G smart farms include automated brushes that work automatically when the cow rubs up against them.Sensors also control the amount of light to the cows'living areas depending on the weather. And,an automatic feeding system makes sure the animals always get enough to eat. Nick Chrissos works on the project for Cisco.He said the system could connect every cow and every other animal on the whole farm."That's what 5G can do for farming-really release the power that we have within this farm, everywhere around the United Kingdom,and everywhere around the world." 28.Why was the program developed? A.To produce more milk. B.To care for cows better. C.To try out 5G in rural areas. D.To improve 5G system on farms. 29.What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A.The way 5G system controls the milking process. B.The way 5G system is set up on the farms. C.The reason why 5G is used on the cows. D.The reason why 5G is popular with the farms. 30.Which paragraph talks about extra technology applications on the 5G farm? A.Paragraph 1. B.Paragraph 2. C.Paragraph 4. D.Paragraph 5. 31.What may be the best title for the text? A.5G Is Used Widely on the Cows of British Farms 第34页，共38页 B.5G Has Reached Rural Areas of the United Kingdom C.British Cows Connected to 5G Can Control Their Own Milking D.Farmers in British Are Using 5G to Improve Their Life D History Fair Competition Understanding history is vital to understanding ourselves as a people and as a nation.

Back in the 1930s,the country life was really tough.One day after dinner,Susan's mother sat on the seat, announcing to the children the Golden Rule:"Treat others the way you want to be treated."Susan reflected carefully and seriously on what her mother had said.She resolved that she would keep in mind and follow the rule. One Saturday afternoon,she went to farmer Jason's inn to get the pay for her mother's washing for the guests there,which amounted to five dollars.She found Jason in the yard,who,as all the villagers knew,was selfish and mean. His eyes clouded with anger,as he had just finished a quarrel with one of his guests.He held in his hand an open wallet,full of bills.He barely noticed Susan until she made her request for the money.Instead of shouting at her,as usual, for troubling him when he was busy,he handed her a bank note. Feeling relieved for escaping from Jason so easily,Susan hurried out of the inn.When carefully putting the money into her pocket,she discovered that Jason had given her two bills instead of one,and her first reaction was joy at the unexpected prize.She looked around and there was nobody nearby to share her discovery."It is mine.All mine."she said to herself."I will buy mum a new coat with it,and she can give her old one to sister Mary,and then Mary can go to the Sunday school with me next winter.I wonder if I can buy a pair of shoes for brother Tom too." Just at that moment,she realized that Jason must have given the extra money to her by mistake,and therefore she had no right to own it.But a voice of temptation (whispered,"He gave it,and you can keep it.He will never know, even if it is a mistake." 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右： 2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语己为你写好： P1:As Susan hurried home,this conflict went on in her mind.
