21、 People have relied on the forests of the Yucatan Peninsula for thousands of years. The ancient Maya who built the great cities of Tikal，Palenque and Calakmul used the region’s trees for building material and fuel wood. But populations on the peninsula grew so large that by around A.D. 900，the Maya had deforested large areas, leading to frequent natural disasters. Eventually they were forced to abandon most of their cities entirely. Today, Yucatan forests are home to around 500 kinds of trees.
But only a few of those---including the mahogany Swietenia macrophylla, with its beautiful, workable and rot-resistant wood---are real moneymakers. One large trunk can net $1,000 or more. And because it grows in isolated groups, it’s an easy species to harvest selectively. “Mahogany is king, ” says Ellis.
Noh-Bec is not ancient; it was founded in the 1930s by chicleros —people who made their living mainly by harvesting natural chewing gum from chicle found in trees rich in the Yucatan. They began to see mahogany’s value in the late 1970s and early ’80s, when communities regained the power to manage their own forests under the existing ejido system. In ejidos, elected councils run parcels of land, though government regulations still limit what they can do. Noh-Bec community members capitalized on their autonomy by building a sawmill and, later, charcoal furnaces to process and market furniture and other wood products.
In 1993, the community also became the first forest certified as sustainably harvested by the Forest Stewardship Council, earning it a profit in international markets. Noh-Bec’s profits now come mainly from cutting and selling mahogany to developed world customers who want to know that their purchases don’t contribute to deforestation.
【1】What did the Maya do that finally led them to desert most of their cities?
A.They found more valuable trees.
B.They ignored the natural disasters.
C.They overused the Yucatan forests.
D.They kept the population under control.
【2】What does Ellis mean by “mahogany is king”（in paragraph 2)?
A.Mahogany is among the trees that will bring people fortune.
B.Mahogany is one of the biggest kinds of trees in Yucatan.
C.Mahogany is a species that exist in Yucatan in the largest quantities.
D.Mahogany is regarded as a kind of trees that appeal to visitors most.
【3】What can we learn from the passage about Noh-Bec?
A.It has a history of more than 100 years.
B.It funded the Forest Stewardship Council.
C.It was totally independent of the government.
D.It cuts trees in a way that is friendly to the forest.
【4】The best title of the passage might be .
A.An ancient community B.Money trees
C.A profitable forest. D.Harm of deforestation.

1. ★★★★★
My favorite shoes! I’ve been to many conferences where my business fellows have told me how much they like my shoes. Just wearing them makes me feel more calm and content in the office. I recommend them to all of my co-workers, and I own a pair of each color.
2. ★
These are the worst shoes I have ever worn! The leather came off after only one week, and everybody thought they were ugly. The bottom of the shoes made everything slippery. My employer fired me because he hated them! From then on, I will only wear Brand X shoes!
3. ★ ★ ★
These shoes do exactly what shoes are supposed to do. There isn’t anything too special about them. In the morning, I put them on and go about my clay. They look delightful enough, and they are quite durable. I will probably buy another pair.

These shoes are my most cherished (珍爱的) possession. I met my bride while buying a pair of these shoes.

23、It is not only praise or punishment that determines a child’s level of confidence. There are some other important ways we shape our kids—particularly by giving instructions and commands in a negative or positive choice of words. For example, we can say to a child “Don’t run into traffic!” or “Stay on the footpath close to me.” In using the latter, you will be helping your kids to think and act positively, and to feel competent in a wide range of situations, because they know what to do, and aren’t scaring themselves about what not to do.
Why does such a small thing make a difference? It is all in the way the human mind works. What we think, we automatically rehearse. For example, if someone offered you a million dollars not to think of a blue monkey for two minutes, you wouldn’t be able to do it. When a child is told “Don’t fall off the tree,” he will think of two things: “don’t” and “fall off the tree”. That is, he will automatically create the picture of falling off the tree in his mind. A child who is vividly imagining falling off the tree is much more likely to fall off. So it is far better to use “Hold on to the tree carefully.”
Clear, positive instructions help kids to understand the right way to do things. Kids do not always know how to be safe, or how to react to the warning of the danger in negative words. So parents should make their commands positive. “Sam, hold on firm to the side of the boat” is much more useful than “Don’t you dare to fall out of the boat?” or worse still “How do you think I’ll feel if you drown?” The changes are small but difference is obvious.
Children learn how to guide and organize themselves from the way we guide them with our words, so it pays to be positive.
【1】Positive choice of words helps kids to ________.
A. do things carefully
B. build up their confidence
C. improve their imagination
D. learn in different situation
【2】What can we infer from Paragraph 2?
A. A child will act on what is instructed.
B. One can’t help imagining what is heard.
C. A child will fall off the tree when told not to.
D. One won’t think of a blue monkey when given money.
【3】Which of the following commands helps kids to be safe?
A. Fasten your seat belt.
B. Don’t play by the lake.
C. How do you think I’ll feel if you get hurt?
D. Don’t you dare to walk through the red light.
【4】The main idea of the passage is that ________.
A. praise makes kids confident
B. right instructions keep kids safe
C. clear commands make kids different
D. choice of words can make a difference
24、For years, communities around Kenya’s Tsavo National Park have been troubled by elephants straying (走失) into their farms and homes. Residents are caught unawares whenever the huge creatures turn up in their villages, hurting people and destroying things.
Four Kenyan teens, Sandra Lukindo, Joyce Moto, Nancy Wairimu and Macrin a Antonia, came up with a solar-powered sensor kit to alert (使戒备) the authorities to stray elephants.These four youngsters won the Startup Africa Competition and are now taking the global scene by storm.
The device is an integration of motion sensors and the Global System for Mobile communication with the ability to send strong signals and raise alarms once an elephant is on the way to a village. “It has a red light, which indicates that power is on. A sensor set to track an elephant passing about 180m away raises a siren (警报器), which alerts both the community and KenyaWildlife Service (KWS) officials through a short message service,” Wairimu said.
“This device will take care of both the elephants and the community. The number of elephants being killed secretly keeps increasing,” Antonia said. She cited research showing that KWS struggles to deal with illegal hunters in the vast park.
George Nagwala, KWS assistant director, said the creation is an effective way of solving the human-wildlife conflict, “We are happy because the community is getting a unique way of dealing with this problem, even as our officers work around the clock to safeguard wildlife and the community,” Nagwala said. The wildlife service is currently using radio collars to map out the elephants’ migratory routes and identify how far they travel in search of water and vegetation.
【1】What has been a long-term headache for residents near Tsavo National Park?
A．Their villages being crowded with visitors.
B．Their houses being destroyed by storms often.
C．Their daily lives being impacted by stray elephants.
D．Their farmland being taken up to make room for the park.
【2】Why does Wairimu say the words in Paragraph 3?
A．To discuss the wide application of their device.
B．To explain what inspired their invention.
C．To demonstrate how their device works.
D．To introduce the elephants they have spotted.
【3】How might the device benefit KWS according to Antonia?
A．It can help fight illegal elephant hunting.
B．It can replace the old-fashioned radio collars.
C．It can map out the elephants’ migratory routes.
D．It can offer a cheap way of driving elephants away.
【4】What is Nagwala’s attitude to the device?
A．Negative.
B．Positive.
C．Doubtful.
D．Neutral.

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。
An Act of Neighborliness
The skies were dark. A strong wind was blowing hard, cutting my face like a sharp knife. Rain fell in big drops and thunder and lightning flashed across the skies. I shook with cold and fear as I walked home, through the streams of muddy water. Some people were rushing by, completely wet in the heavy rain.
Along the way, I saw some schoolchildren holding their heavy schoolbags tightly and rushing home, I also saw that some road repair work had been abandoned by workers. Obviously, the workers had left in a hurry because of the storm. There were few signs and it was hard to see what was on the road. There were pieces of wood and metal and it looked like a hole had been dug and hurriedly covered with boards.
I moved on but suddenly stopped as I heard some sounds. It sounded like children crying. I quickly turned back and went back to the place from where the sounds came. I was frightened! To my sadness, I found that a small child had fallen into the hole on the road. The boards had moved away with the force of the rushing water. I could hardly see the child as it was dark all around me. I told he that I was going to look for help. I knew the neighbors well, and they all shared a sense of neighborliness, willing to give a hand.
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。
Actually, I was not sure of what to do or where to go but decided to go to the nearest house for help.
