21、Most forest fires are caused by human carelessness or ignorance. Forest fire prevention, therefore, is mainly a problem of creating better understanding of the importance of forests, an awareness of the danger of fire in the woods, and a sense of personal responsibility to safeguard the forests from danger. This is not an easy job.
Careless smokers are responsible for thousands of forest fires each year. Many of these are started when cigarette butts (烟蒂) and matches are thrown from automobiles. Others are caused by hunters, hikers, fishermen, or woods workers who are careless in disposing (处理) of their smoking materials. The Forest Service has posted rules in many of the National Forests that ban smoking except in certain designated (指示) areas. Many of the states have laws against throwing lighted materials from automobiles. The prevention of smoker-caused fires, however, depends upon changing the attitudes and behavior of millions of people who smoke in dangerous area.
The most important natural cause of fire is lightning. This accounts for 11 per cent of forest fires on protected land for the entire nation. In the Western States, lightning causes a much higher percentage of fires than it does in the East.
Advances in knowledge of fire weather are helping forest protection forces to know when to be alert to lightning-caused fires. Adequate and well-equipped forces can control them quickly and hold the damage to a minimum. Experiments in “seeding” thunder clouds to prevent or control the lightning itself have been in process for many years, but new breakthroughs are needed for any significant reduction in the fires lightning starts.
【1】This passage is chiefly about ________.
A．smoking in forests
B．changing the attitudes and behavior of millions of people
C．the chief causes of forest fires and their prevention
D．advances in knowledge of fire weather
【2】Preventing smoker-caused forest fires is mainly a problem of ________.
A．building the proper knowledge and habits in human beings

D．holding the damage to a minimum
【3】Lightning-caused fires can be controlled quickly by ________.
A．holding the fire damage to a minimum
B．people who have changed their attitude and behavior
C．enough fire fighters with good fire-fighting devices
D．carrying out experiments in “seeding” thunder clouds
【4】“Alert to” (2nd line, 4th paragraph) most probably means _________.
A．aware of
B．watchful for
C．responsible for
D．busy with
【5】Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A．It is difficult to prevent forest fires.

22、“Painters, do not fear perfection. You will never achieve it! Just try as you will if you are ordinary. Even if you paint terribly, badly, people will still see that you are ordinary. ”
-Salvador Dali
“Every morning when I awake,” wrote the artist of the soft watches and burning giraffes, “the greatest of joys is mine: that of being Salvador Dalí. . .” The Spanish artist, so famous and so rich, was creative not only in his art. He talked nonstop too; his favorite topic was how to be a genius. “Oh Salvador,” he concluded, “now you know the truth: that if you act the genius, you will be one!”
Had he lived during the Renaissance (文艺复兴), Dalí would have been recognized sooner as a genius. In our age, though, which he felt was growing increasingly stupid, Dalí represented an air of challenging and annoying everyone else. Today he is ranked alongside Picasso as one of the modernist greats, and the general public quite clearly loves his art as well; therefore, it is difficult to understand why he should still be seen as so challenging and annoying, and why many people should still consider him as mad. Dalí himself declared: “The only difference between myself and a madman is the fact that I am not mad!” Writer Michel Déon once said, “His personality -whether it is loved or hated-is based on something deep and appealing, and that is his roots and his feelings. Roots that reach deep into the earth, absorbing everything that has been produced in four thousand years of painting, architecture and sculpture. Feelings that are picking up things to come, from the future, expecting it and flying to it at lightning speed. It cannot be emphasized enough that Dalí is a man of tireless scientific curiosity.” One might say that Dalí was typical of his age: he had grasped how to make himself a star.
【1】What does Dali actually want to say to other painters?
A．“Be brave to show yourself.”
B．“Be honest to yourself.”
C．“Be pleased to stay ordinary.”
D．“Be respectful to the public.”
【2】How does the author look at Dalí?
A．He was too proud of himself.
B．He was undoubtedly a genius.
C．He was too challenging and annoying.
D．He was unfairly understood.
【3】What can we learn from the last paragraph about Dalí?
A．He was not only learned but advanced.
B．He was not only honest but emotional.
C．He was a scientist rather than an artist.
D．He was a star rather than a genius.
【4】What aspect of Dalí is the text mainly about?
A．His amazing achievements in art.
B．His special ability in learning.
C．His extraordinary belief in himself.
D．His annoying behavior in public.
23、Have you ever felt as if the entire world was watching while you made a mistake? Well here’s some good news: it’s likely that no one even notice.
The spotlight effect is a trick of the mind that makes us believe that people notice us more often than they really do. We experience the spotlight effect not only when we make mistakes but also when we perform well, such as making a mistake in a game, giving a terrible answer in class, scoring a big goal or doing a good deed. In these moments, it feels like everyone is watching.
The spotlight effect exists because we all get used to seeing things through our own eyes. Every person is the main character in his or her story, and the events of our lives seem to have great importance. We are so busy examining ourselves that we actually observe very little about everyone around us.
The spotlight effect is a very common part of the human experience. However, in some cases, it can lead to extreme social anxiety and nervousness around other people.
Everyone suffers some degree of social anxiety. We all care about what others think, and we all want to be liked. It’s normal to wonder about what effect we have on other people.
However, this can be a problem when the anxiety is too much to handle. If someone is so nervous that they can’t make good decisions then it’s time to take action and improve the situation.
Learning about the spotlight effect is important because it can help us reduce our anxiety. The next time you feel like everyone is staring at you, remind yourself that it’s just your mind playing tricks on you. Another good exercise is to make an effort to notice the people around you, rather than focusing on yourself. If you fill your mind with thoughts of your friends and family, it will help you be less self-conscious.
【1】What is the spotlight effect?
A．It feels like all eyes are on us.
B．We enjoy more focus from others.
C．It’s probably (hat no one notices us.
D．It is a trick lo make us perform well.
【2】How do we usually feel when the spotlight effect occurs?
A．Proud.
B．Anxious.
C．Relaxed.
D．Depressed.
【3】Which of the following is true about the spotlight effect?
A．It makes people feel more confident in scoring a big goal.
B．It may be an unusual human experience about social anxiety.
C．It happens only when we make some mistakes in great events.
D．It exists when we care too much about what others think of us.
【4】Why should we learn about the spotlight effect?
A．To release our mental burden.
B．To help us take more exercise.
C．To make us more self-conscious.
D．To help us pay more attention in class.
24、 The Kirtland’s warbler（莺）has required protections since the foundation of Endangered Species Act (ESA), but that’s about to change. The Fish and Wildlife Service（FWS）today announced it is removing the songbird from the endangered species list
“The effort to recover the Kirtland's warbler is a successful example of how to save endangered species,” said Margaret Everson, director of FWS. “The Kirtland's warbler has responded well to active management over the half century.” In 1971, the Kirtland’s warbler population declined to approximately 201 singing males and was restricted to six counties. By 2015, the population reached 2,383 singing males and had spread geographically. FWS noted the frequent and persistent singing of male warblers during the breeding season made counting possible.
“The primary threats identified at listing and during development of the recovery plan have been managed,” said FWS. Modern wildfire suppression（扑灭）practices greatly altered the natural disturbance system, which enabled the growth of the jack pine forests favored by the species, FWS noted. Michigan state has replanted approximately 90,000 acres of Kirtland's warbler habitat over the past 30 years. Timber （木材）incomes offset the cost of replanting jack pine needed to support a survivable bird population.
But while the bird is falling off the ESA list, officials note that it remains a “conservation-dependent species." Conservation of the Kirtland's warbler will continue to require a harmonious approach for carrying out future conservation work, like partnerships and sufficient funding, FWS stated. Under the Endangered Species Preservation Act of 1966, the Kirtland's warbler was federally listed as an endangered species in 1967.
“This remarkable bird has a most impressive, exemplary success story that illustrates effective conservation and cooperation at work,” added Heather Good, executive director of Michigan Audubon. Shawn Graff, vice president of American Bird Conservancy's Great Lakes program, pointed out the delisting （除名）is “cause for celebration and proof that the Endangered Species Act works.”
【1】The passage is probably taken from_____.
A.a science fiction B.a news report
C.a biography D.a novel
【2】What does the underlined word “offset” in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Make up for. B.Add to.
C.Fix. D.Estimate.
【3】Which of the following is NOT the reason for the recovery of Kirtland’s warbler?
A.Ample funding. B.Cooperative work.
C.The foundation of FWS. D.The control of wildfire.
【4】What can be concluded from the passage?
A.The male Kirtland's warblers seldom sing in the breeding season.
B.Heather Good was not very satisfied with the conservation work.
C.The Kirtland's warbler was listed as an endangered species only in one state.
D.Margaret Everson thought highly of the conservation of the Kirtland's warbler.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I was in high school, I had a dream: to appear in a television program. I was too shy to share my dream with my teacher, however, or anyone else—except my parents. To me, it sounded like a dream that could never come true.
People often told me I could be a nurse, a teacher, or a hairdresser, which I thought were all great careers. But that was not what I wanted. Thankfully, my parents had raised me and my siblings to have lots of confidence. Both my parents, especially my dad, often said, “You can do anything you want to.”
With his encouragement, I applied to the radio and television arts program at Ryerson University in Toronto. I was overjoyed when I was admitted. I really loved the program and worked hard —and I was named the most outstanding graduate of the year. Just by getting into Ryerson and graduating at the top of the class, I began to think that maybe my dream could come true.
After I graduated, I applied to the CBC and CTV for a job. They both said the same thing: “We love your education, but you don’t have any experience. Come back when you get some!” And I kept saying, “How can I get this experience? I’ve been busy getting an education.” They both turned me down.
Luckily, Global Television had just started broadcasting in Canada that year. I thought to myself, “I’m new and they’re new. Why not give it a try?” I didn’t know anyone there, so if I was going to get to know one person at Global, it might as well be the president. I found out who the president was and decided to call him directly. What could I lose? I was scared, but I knew deep down inside that this was what I wanted. When I called my dad and told him my plan, he said, “Good! That’s exactly what you should do.”
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
With excitement, I called the president of Global Television.
