24、Nature’s Warnings
When the sky suddenly turns dark and the wind is strong, watch out! A dangerous storm might be coming. Storms are scary, watch for flashes of lightning. Listen for thunder. If nature sends these warnings, don’t wait for rain. Act right away to keep safe.
Safety Steps
At the first flash of lightning, quickly get inside a building or a car. Do not go into a shed (棚) for protection. It is not closed like a building, so it is not safe.
Even after you are indoors, be careful. It is not smart to go near doors and windows. They can blow in or break. A room with no windows is the safest place to be.
Do not wash your hands during a storm. Do not use anything that runs on electricity either. Water and electrical lines are like roads for lightning. Even if you really want to play computer games, don’t! It is better to be bored than to risk getting hurt. Try reading a book instead. Reading is more fun than playing computer games.
If you can’t get to somewhere safe, stay out in the open. You may feel safe under a tree, but that is not a good place to be. Lightning is pulling toward tall poles and trees. Stay down in an open space and cover your ears to protect them. Loud thunder can damage our hearing.
Lightning Strikes
Lightning does not strike people very often. It is not likely that you will ever see that happen. If you do, call 120. Only trained emergency workers should care for a person who has been hit by lightning.
If you follow these rules, you should stay safe during a storm.
【1】From Paragraph 1, we learn that ________.
A.storms are frightening and harmful
B.storms often come without warnings
C.people should wait and watch lightning
D.people should take action after the storm
【2】The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”.
A.A building
B.A car
C.A room
D.A shed
【3】During a storm you had better ________.
A.use a computer for a while
B.listen for thunder by a window
C.leave the room and stay out
D.find a closed or an open place
【4】If a person is hit by lightning, you should ________.
A.call for emergency help
B.stay down in a safe space
C.move him or her to safety
D.cover his or her ears quickly
25、 What do you think about when you think of a zoo? Small cages? Bars like those in prisons? These images might be common in people’s mind, which serve as arguments for the people who do not like zoos, as historically, traditional zoos kept animals with a very limited focus on conservation(protection of natural things or education, However, a sort of evolution (改革;进化) has occurred.
Most zoos today, especially those in the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA), an international organization whose members are leading zoos and aquariums, provide spacious and natural space for their animals and worked hard to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. More importantly, modern zoos not only take much better care of the animals they keep, but also engage with the protection of animals in the wild.
As the human population increases, our impact on the environment has been deadly harmful to wildlife and wild spaces. Things like climate change and severe habitat destruction are causing species to go extinct at unnatural rates. Some scientists estimate we are currently experiencing the sixth mass extinction (灭绝) in the history of life on earth. As a consoling (令人安慰的) part out of all griefs, many zoos serve as important safe-holds for endangered species populations, and in cases like that of the California Condor, captive breeding programs in AZA, which kept animals in zoos proved to be important in bringing species back from extinction. Besides, AZA, including many zoos, also fund over 2,500 conservation projects, donating 160 million dollars every year to protecting species in the wild.
The conservation impact that zoos have goes even further than direct conservation action and financial support for fieldwork. In a time when people spend less and less time outdoors, zoos serve as a place to teach children and remind adults that wildlife and wild spaces still exist, and that our society holds the future of these species’ survival in our hands.
________________________. While I am only 18, I have spent the last six years volunteering with wildlife conservation organizations. As a volunteer at the Santa Barbara Zoo, I stood outside of the Amur Leopard exhibit and educated guests about these critically endangered big cats. I saw the way that live animals can spark people’s curiosity and inspire them to love and protect nature. Earlier this year, I had the opportunity to attend the AZA’s Legislative Conference in Washington DC, where I got the opportunity to see how zoos support conservation efforts in the wild. Cheetah Conservation Fund in Namibia is an organization dedicated (致力于) to saving the cheetah in the wild, but it relies heavily on support from zoos. Many zoos donate large amounts of money to CCF, but they also contribute to CCF’s mission by connecting people across the United States with cheetahs, and the issues they face in the wild.
Zoos can be controversial institutions; however, both opponents of traditional zoos and those who support modern zoos have more in common than one might think. Both groups are extremely motivated because they care so deeply about animals, their welfare, and their long-term survival on our planet. I encourage you to consider both sides of this issue and learn more about all of the conservation work zoos do, and the world-class care animals in AZA receive before determining where you stand on this issue.
【1】Images like small cages are mentioned in Paragraph 1 to explain ________.
A.why there must be an evolution of zoos
B.how much people misunderstand the zoos
C.why some people are against traditional zoos
D.how well the modern zoos are treating animals
【2】According to Paragraph 3, what do captive breeding programs do?
A.They are conservation projects donating to AZA.
B.They protect the wild habitat of endangered animal.
C.They keep endangered animals to save them from extinction.
D.They set up missions of animal protection for AZA every year.
【3】Which sentence serves best as the topic sentence of Paragraph 5?
A.However, there is still much that zoos should have done.
B.I have gotten to see many of the positive aspects of zoos up close.
C.Yet what I have personally experienced might explain why zoos have caused so much disagreement.
D.The misunderstanding of zoos, unfortunately, is still widespread, and some people are blind to the contributions zoos have made.
【4】What is TRUE according to the article?
A.Zoos in Namibia heavily reply on the Cheetah Conservation Fund
B.Traditional zoos only paid attention to conservation but no education.
C.Modern zoos bear responsibility for the animals they keep and those in the wild.
D.With the increase of human population, a huge species extinction in history is on.
【5】Which could be the best title for the article?
A.Traditional Zoos: Harmful to Wildlife
B.AZA: A Consoling Part out of All Griefs
C.Evolution of Zoos: More Changes in Need
D.Modern Zoos: Dedicated to Saving the Wildlife
26、 Everyone loves money! But do you know where money came from? Who were the first people to use money? Scientists say that over 10,000 years ago, people in Swaziland(斯威士兰), Southern Africa, were using red dye(染料) as a type of money around that period of time. Later, people in several places used shells and other valuable things as a type of money to “buy” or “trade for” things they wanted. This is known as a form of trade where some goods are exchanged for other goods.
Many things have been used as “money” from pigs to salt. For a long time, pepper(胡椒粉) could be used to “pay for” things in Europe. On the Micronesian island of Yap, people used very big stone “coins”, some of which were up to eight feet wide and weighed more than a small car.
But the most convenient forms of money were pieces of valuable metals like gold and silver. Historians think that the Lydians were the first people to introduce the use of gold and silver coins around 650 BC. Gold and silver are still quite valuable today.
