27、 Pangolins are the most trafficked(非法交易)mammals in the world and are facing extinction. To draw attention to these scaly(有鳞片的), anteater-like animals, a new wildlife documentary, Eye of the Pangolin, is attempting a unique way to inspire action and conservation: access. Partnering with the non-profit organization Pangolin. Africa, the documentary was made available on YouTube in May 2019. The intention is to reach communities wherever the Internet is available, especially African communities, who live near the animal’s habitats.
Over two years,the documentary crew traveled to South Africa, Ghana, Central African Republic and Gabon in search of the four unique species of pangolin, which has never been achieved before. Filmmakers Bruce Young and Johan Vermeulen say that they went into the shoot knowing relatively little about pangolins, but grew to respect and appreciate the animals. Getting close to the creatures over two years was a crash course in these secretive creatures. Johan Vermeulen said, “One thing however that might seem unimportant is that they are actually quite fussy eaters. You would think they would eat any type of ant, but they all prefer a specific type ant.”
Pangolins are hunted illegally across Africa for their scales, which are used for traditional medicine, and their meat. In April 2019, Singaporean customs officials conducted two separate seizures of 24 tons of pangolin scales, which equals to the death of 69,000 pangolins.
Though the documentary focuses less on the trafficking of pangolins, and more on the animals in their natural habitat, the aim of the documentary is to inspire viewers around the world to call for action to end trafficking and protecting these unique creatures.
Filmed on location in South Africa, Ghana, Central African Republic, and Gabon, this powerful documentary is the story of two men a mission to get all four species of African pangolin camera for the very first time.
【1】What’s the purpose of the documentary?
A.To study the situation of pangolins. B.To collect fund to protect pangolins.
C.To throw light on pangolin protection. D.To propose setting up pangolin reserves.
【2】What do we know about those filmmakers?
A.They once shot pangolins by mistake.
B.They have never filmed pangolins before.
C.They came across crash accidents occasionally.
D.They have a better knowledge of pangolins now.
【3】What is the meaning of the underlined word “fussy” in paragraph 2?
A.Picky. B.Messy. C.Hungry. D.Heavy.
【4】What’s the documentary mainly about?
A.The illegal trade of pangolins.
B.The life of pangolins in their natural habitats.
C.The medical function of pangolin’s scales.
D.The efforts of Pangolin, Africa to save pangolins.
28、 Are you always dreaming of getting paid for just showing up to work? To the best of luck, the Korsvagen train station in Sweden will offer a special occupation to one lucky person in 2025! The comfortable lifetime position comes with a generous starting monthly pay of 21,564 SEK ($2,320), a guaranteed (有保证的) yearly pay increase of 3.2 percent, and even vacation time.
The position was put forward by Swedish artists Simon Goldin and Jakob Senneby in answer to a design competition for the Korsvagen train station, which is now under construction and planned to open in 2026. Instead of presenting an artistic design, Goldin and Senneby suggested using the 7,000,000 SEK ($753,000) prize money to hire a lifetime employee to do nothing! Surprisingly, the unusual idea appealed to the judges of the competition, who adopted the suggestion and announced their decision to carry out the Eternal (终生的) Employment Project.
The job only requires the lucky employee to arrive at the station each morning and ring the clock, which will turn on a bank of bright lights. The person can remain at the station all day —greeting passengers, texting friends, or even sleeping — or leave and return at the end of the day to clock out.
The job is guaranteed for life as long as he/she obeys these simple requirements and does not accept any other employment. Though the job sounds like a waste of life, the artists believe the employee will be doing important work to act as a witness (见证) of time.
The best part is that people from all over the world can apply to be considered for this unique position equally — be sure not to miss it!
【1】Which of the following best explains “appealed to” underlined in Paragraph 2?
A. Attracted. B. Panicked. C. Bothered. D. Amused.
【2】What must the employee do according to his/her duty?
A. Contact friends. B. Work part-time.
C. Welcome passengers. D. Ring the clock each morning.
【3】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. A Lifetime Job to Be Offered for Doing Nothing
B. How the Eternal Employment Project Was Born
C. Swedish Artists Won a Design Competition
D. An Outstanding Employee Wanted
