21、 The world’s most popular animals are in more danger than we realize, according to a new study. A survey of the Public’s Knowledge suggests many people are unaware that the animals they consider “inviting” are under threat in the wild. These include lions, elephants, tigers and other animals which frequently appear in branding and advertising.
The idea of “inviting” species has come up recently in Conservation Biology, explains Dr. Franck Courchamp, the study’s lead author. “There is a regular claim that the most ‘inviting’ species are attracting most of the time and resources. I started wondering whether this was true and followed by better results in conservation,” he told BBC News.
Using an online survey available in four languages, researchers asked the public to name the wild species they considered most attracting. They also looked at how frequently animals were represented on zoo websites, and on the covers of Disney and Pixar films. Additionally, the team had volunteers in France catalogue their meeting with virtual (虚拟的) populations of the 10 most “inviting” animals over the period of a week. They saw an average of 4.4 lions in cartoons, magazines and other sources each day, suggesting that people are likely to see two to three times as many “virtual” lions in a year as there are lions in West Africa. “Mostly I think because people see giraffes and lions every day of their life, they unconsciously think they are in abundance,” Dr. Courchamp said.
Despite their abundant media representation, nine of the animals on the list are classed as vulnerable, endangered or critically endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List. When researchers asked survey participants whether they thought these animals were endangered, almost half of the participants thought that critically endangered gorillas (大猩猩) were not under threat.
As for this, Dr. Courchamp proposes a solution. Companies would donate money to Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in return for using the animals in their branding or advertising. “I think it’s not so unrealistic,” says Dr. Courchamp. “There are already some companies that do that. Jaguar is in partnership with Panthera, an organization protecting wild cat species. Lacoste also made a campaign recently where they replaced their logo with images of endangered species.”
【1】What is the text mainly about?
A.The ten most attracting animals.
B.The importance of saving wild animals.
C.Animals’ images needing more attention.
D.Animals’ attraction harming their conservation.
【2】According to Dr. Courchamp, survey participants’ views are unconsciously affected by _____.
A.the media B.their preferences
C.the IUCN Red List D.other participants’ opinions
【3】How might the researchers feel about survey participants’ answers?
A.Relieved. B.Surprised.
C.Frightened. D.Excited.
【4】What is Dr. Courchamp’s solution?
A.Raising people’s environmental awareness.
B.Asking big companies to organize campaigns.
C.Funding conservation by trading animals’ images.
D.Appealing for cooperation in NGOs for animal protection.
22、Perhaps you use your headphones to enjoy music and peace and quiet during the day. But you may be neglecting the dangers of hearing loss with headphones. 【1】 This is 30% higher than just 20 years before, and experts are pinning it on headphones.
In fact, headphones are not a bad thing. They can bring peace, allow for better musical enjoyment, and even protect your ears from higher decibels(分贝). 【2】
How long should you wear your headphones every day? The answer is, according to the World Health Organization, one hour per day. 【3】 But the fact is that the longer you listen, you’re going to lose your hearing sooner. To keep hearing loss from happening to you, you should follow the recommendation in place by the WHO that you keep your time with headphones on limited to one hour per day.
Then, how do you set the safest volume for your headphones? With headphones, it depends on the type you’re using and your environment. To test things out, you should take them off your ears and extend them in your hands out in front of you. 【4】 If you are using open-back headphones, you should try to have a conversation with someone nearby. When you’re able to carry on the conversation clearly, you’re listening at a proper volume. But do remember that never raise the volume on your listening device over 60% of the maximum!
【5】 At others this loss will build up over time. It usually isn’t noticeable in the beginning. It’s not until it’s too late that most people realize that the damage has been done. The only way to know for sure is to consult your doctor.
A.This might seem unreasonable to you.
B.At times, hearing loss isn’t permanent.
C.l in 5 teens will have some types of hearing loss.
D.What’s more concerning is what that means for children.
E.It’s the duration and volume that cause the problem, however.
F.If you still hear your music clearly, you need to turn them down.
G.It’s a wonderful thing to shut out the rest of the world and enjoy your music.

24、 Family violence and abuse prevention strategies are focused at three levels: the general population, specific groups thought to be at high risk for abuse, and families who have already experienced abuse. Public education and media campaigns aimed at the general population convey the criminal nature of domestic assault, suggest ways to prevent abuse, and identify where abuse victims can get help. However, to prevent or reduce family violence, education, elements of American culture that contribute to such violence must change. For example, violence in the media must be controlled or eliminated, and traditional gender roles and views of women and children as property must be replaced with egalitarian gender roles and respect for women and children.
Another cultural change is to reduce violence-related stress by reducing poverty and unemployment and by providing adequate housing, nutrition, media care, and educational opportunities for everyone. Though programs such as Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) and Special Supplemental Food Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) were not designed to prevent domestic violence and abuse, “they provide important assistance to low income families and thus support the functioning of these families.” Integrating families into networks of community would also enhance family’s well-being and provide support for families under stress.
What social interventions are available for families that are already experiencing abuse or neglected? Abused women and children may seek relief at a shelter or a safe house for abused women and children with housing, food, counseling services, legal assistance, employment assistance, and an environment that empowers women by encouraging them to make independent choices about their abusive relationships and about their future. Shelters also provide a communal living situation with other abused women, which reduces the sense of isolation and helps the women express their anger and overcome feelings of guilt and inadequacy. An alternative to shelter is a safe house, a private home of individuals who volunteer to provide temporary housing to abused women who decide to leave their violent homes. Battered men are not allowed to stay at women’s shelters, but many shelters help abused men by providing money for a motel room, counseling, and support services.
【1】The word “egalitarian” in the first paragraph most probably means “_______”.
A.relating to economics B.relating to everyday events
C.having to do with legal contracts D.having to do with equal treatment
【2】Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as a way to directly reduce violence in families?
A.Cutting down on violence in the media
B.the AFDC program
C.Reducing unemployment
D.Strengthening family ties
【3】According to the passage, which of the following statements does the writer seem to support?
A.Providing women more wealth can largely reduce family abuse.
B.Laws must be passed to prevent family abuse.
C.Unfair attitude towards women is the only cause of family abuse.
D.Women should be equally paid.
【4】The last paragraph is organized by ____.
A.listing the order of events in helping abused women
B.defining the term “safe house”
C.discussing the effects of family violence
D.listing social interventions available to help the abused

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。
Ethan Katicie of Edmonton, Canada, has always dreamed of-becoming a firefighter. Recently, the 18-year-old got a taste of what it really feels like to save lives!
It all started when Ethan’s two friends. Ryken Glew and Jackson Brown who called up Ethan and decided to play basketball that day, were heading to a local basketball court. They looked up and saw smoke pouring from the Citadel Mews West Nursing Home.
Instead of simply looking at the disaster-in-progress taking pictures or recording videos, the teens, who are both 17. rushed to the home to see if they could help.
“We knew that the, elderly people were going to struggle to get out,” Jackson said.
The brave teens met the staff members at the entrance who told them that there were still residents inside the building. Learning this, they didn’t hesitate to go in after them. Thinking nothing of their own safety, they ran up to the fourth floor and began to systematically empty the rooms.
“We banged on the door, shouting aloud, ‘There’s a fire! There’s a fire! Everyone needs to get out quickly,’” Jackson recalled. “After that we would open the door and take a quick look through to make sure no one was there and go to the next door.”
Smoke began to fill the hallways, and the roof was soon fully engulfed(淹没)in flames. At times, they would open a door to find a room on fire, but they were so focused on rescuing everyone that they didn’t have time to be afraid. Ryken said they only wanted to get people out “as calmly as possible” and make sure they knocked on every door. “We did our best and that was all we could do,” he said.
Jackson added. “The only thing that was going through my mind was what if I missed someone and they were stuck in the burning building.”
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
