21、The World Needs Zoos
Zoos play an important role in the world for conservation and education. They are particularly important for endangered species. Many animals are critically endangered and may go extinct in the wild, but in zoos, they are going strong. Many others are already extinct in the wild and only survive thanks to populations kept in captivity(圈禁). Even those critical of zoos often recognize that it is better to have species preserved somewhere than lose them altogether. 【1】
Take the ring-tailed lemur of Madagascar(环尾狐猴)for example. These lemurs are almost common in zoos as they breed well in captivity and the public are fond of them. However, despite their high numbers in collections around the world, they are the most threatened mammalian group on the planet. A recent survey suggests that up to 95 percent of the wild populations have been lost since 2000. 【2】One bad year or a new disease could wipe out those which still remain in the wild.
Such trends are not isolated. The giraffe is another very common species in zoos. Unlike the lemurs, giraffes are widespread in the countries across much ofsub-Saharan Africa. Yet giraffe populations have gone down by a third in the last thirty years. While less dramatic than the drop in lemur numbers, this is obviously a major loss and again, whole populations (which some scientists think are of unique subspecies) are on the verge of extinction.
【3】 Ongoing and future issues from climate change can have unexpected effects on wildlife. It will become more difficult for conservationists to predict which species might be at risk. As it is, experts are struggling to continue monitoring the species that are already known to be vulnerable, so it is easy to see why common species might be overlooked. People might not take the great loss of local species seriously on the assumption that these animals are heavily populated elsewhere, but unfortunately that is not always the case.
There will, I suspect, always be resistance to the argument for keeping animals in captivity and I will not defend the zoos that are badly managed and in desperate need of improvement or closure. But if we wish to keep any real measure of biodiversity on the planet, we may have to lean on zoos far more than many people realize. 【4】
A．This is a trend that is only expected to continue.
B．This means that the remaining individuals are at serious risk.
C．Those species that are held in zoos are already protected from any such events and trends.
D．In fact, species that are common can also come under serious threat before people realize it.
E．Climate change has harmed over half mammal species on the endangered species list.
F．If even common species can lose their population in only several years, it may be too late to save them in the wild.
22、 Alibaba Cloud and the Hangzhou city government announced the launch of ET City Brain 2.0, a cloud—powered and Al-driven urban traffic-management system that aims to increase the city’s efficiency.
After over two years of testing in Alibaba’s home base, ET City Brain has become the new infrastructure (基础设施) for Hangzhou, with a total coverage of 420 square kilometers in area, including over 1,300 traffic lights. Over 200 traffic officers are connected via mobile phones, enabling them to receive real-time alerts on any traffic-related emergencies.
In version 2.0, the system will optimize the city’s firefighting abilities by providing key information to firefighters, such as water pressure, the number and position of fire hydrants (消防栓) in a given area, the location of gas pipes and other details they need to know. The information is instant, making the entire firefighting process faster, safer and more accurate.
City Brain gives meaning to data. By using AI and advanced algorithms (计算程序), City Brain is able to analyze a large amount of data and turn them into useful information in real-time speed.
As a result of City Brain’s ability to predict traffic flow, detect accidents and provide instant feedback, Hangzhou has dropped from 5th to the 57th on the list of China’s most congested cities. Hangzhou is probably the only city that can tell you how many cars are on the street at any given time.
In the case of medical emergencies, City Brain is able to change traffic lights, so emergency vehicles like ambulances and fire trucks can head to the scene without interruption, accelerating their arrival time by 49%.
Dr. Wang Jian, the head of Alibaba’s Technology Steering Committee who invented the term “City Brain”, said the system is designed to empower a city to act quickly and directly. It is more than just about traffic management. It’s really about how to make city more livable at a time of shrinking natural resources around the globe. “It is a matter of sustainability, while using as little natural resources as possible,” Wang said, “This is just the beginning.”
【1】What benefit will ET City Brain bring?
A. Lower crime rates.
B. Efficient government.
C. Less traffic congestion.
D. Improved medical care.
【2】Which of the following functions of the city Brain is NOT mentioned in the text?
A. Predicting traffic flow.
B. Giving quick feedback.
C. Changing traffic lights.
D. Handling traffic accidents.
【3】Which of the following best explains “optimize” in paragraph 3?
A. Better. B. Practise.
C. Operate. D. Emphasize.
【4】What can we conclude from the last paragraph?
A. ET City Brain 2.0 is a mature version.
B. Alibaba targets environmentally-friendly development.
C. The government is devoted to improving the system.
D. The system can solve the problem of lack of resources.
23、 Last July, Angela Peters, 36, rolled her wheelchair into a nail salon located at the Walmart shopping center in Burton, Michigan, with the idea of painting her nails. But Peters, who has cerebral palsy（脑瘫）, was turned away. The salon (which is not owned by Walmart), she says, told her that they were afraid it would be too difficult to properly do the job given that her hands shook. What was meant to be a day of beauty bliss for Peters was now a disappointment.
Watching the interaction from a few feet away was a Walmart cashier about to go on her break. Ebony Harris, 40, recognized Peters as a Walmart regular. Now what she recognized in Peters was a kindred spirit. “She’s just like you, me, my daughter, anybody,” Harris told ABC News, “She wants to look pretty. So why can’t she?”
Harris approached Peters. “Do you want me to do your nails?” she asked. A smile spread across Peters’ face. “Yeah!” Having found a table for two, Harris gently took Peter’s hand into hers and carefully began painting her nails.
“I was a little nervous and was shaking because I didn’t want to mess her nails up,” Harris admitted. “I told her she’s a blessing to anybody, not just me. She makes me look at life and appreciate it much more than I have.”
Watching it all with amazement and admiration was Subway employee Tasia Smith. What struck her most was the ease and gentleness displayed by Harris as she painted Peters’ nails, all the while chatting as if they were old friends. Smith was so taken by the scene that she wrote about it on Facebook. “They were so patient with her,” she wrote. “Thanks to the Walmart worker for making this beautiful girl’s day!”
Peters, who runs a poetry website, harbors no bitterness toward the nail salon that turned her away. “When people do us wrong, we must forgive,” Peters wrote on Facebook. “I just want to educate people that those with different challenges, like being in a wheelchair, can have our own business and get our nails done like anyone else.”
【1】Why was Peters declined when she wanted to have her nails painted?
A.She insisted on sitting in a wheelchair.
B.She was not a regular customer of the salon.
C.Her hands shook involuntarily due to disability.
D.There was no need for her to have nails painted.
【2】It can be inferred from “a kindred spirit” in Paragraph 2 that _______.
A.Peters was in high spirits just like others around her.
B.Peters was approached with special attention and care.
C.Peters was more tolerant of the denial than normal people.
D.Peters was no different from the people around her.
【3】In Paragraph 4, Harris referred to Angela Peters as “a blessing” because _______.
A.Peters deserved to be happy and be treated kindly.
B.Harris was reminded why she should be grateful.
C.Harris felt obliged to offer her a hand on a voluntary basis
D.Peters got her nails done despite the previous rejection.
【4】What may well be Angela Peters’ guiding principle in life?
A.Beauty is about having a pretty mind, a pretty soul, as well as pretty poetry.
B.Forgive others who have wronged us, and we are likely to enjoy our life more.
C.Being grateful is a way to sing for our life which comes just from our love and hope.
D.Life is a mirror and will reflect back to the thinker what he thinks into it.
