21、Alone on a barren island, Ding Peng and his colleagues bring the Chinese crested tern (凤头燕鸥) back from the edge of extinction. From time to time, Ding Peng makes his way across the waves to Zhongtiedun, an island that dots the vast East China Sea.
Born in Lanzhou, capital of Northwest China’s Gansu Province, Ding grew up seeing bare mountains and sandstorms, and had an early awareness of environmental protection.
In March 2013, Ding landed on Zhongtiedun with more than 30 experts to choose a breeding (繁育) area for Chinese crested terns. They wanted to restore their populations through manual intervention (人工干预).
At the beginning, there were no Chinese crested terns on Zhongtiedun and Ding’s first cask was to attract the birds to settle there. Their breeding period is usually from May to August, and they like to lay their eggs on small islands with little tree cover, so Ding and the team of experts settled on relatively flat Zhongtiedun. They also cut away the taller bushes, while 400 fake birds of the same size as Chinese crested terns were placed there, with a bird sound playback system installed to simulate the sound of courtship (求偶).
However, they were unable to attract any of the birds over the following two months. “The experts suggested withdrawing the equipment and making plans for the next year,” Ding recalls. Ding proposed the equipment that had been installed on the island not be taken down. Two days later, the team got what they wished for—several Chinese crested terns were found among the group of great crested terns flying in the sky.
“Though the life on the island is tough, things took a turn for the better in 2017, when more volunteers came to join the bird protection team. Everything was worth it. Now that more people are aware of the importance of protecting the birds, and now that their numbers are on the rise,” Ding says.
【1】What do we know about Ding?
A．He is from a poor family.
B．He is an environmentalist.
C．He lives in mountains now.
D．He feels lonely on the island.
【2】Why did Ding and the team of experts cut away the taller bushes?
A．To install fake birds more conveniently.
B．To make the birds’ vision much clearer.
C．To observe Chinese crested terns closely.
D．To create a better breeding environment for the birds.
【3】What does Ding think of his work?
A．It is very worthwhile to do it.
B．It still has a long way to go.
C．It is the most important project.
D．It has strengthened his willpower.
【4】How does the text develop?
A．By showing examples.
B．By giving some quotes.
C．By following time order.
D．By making comparisons.
22、 Britain’s government is to introduce a law making it a legal requirement for the first time for every public sector (部门) worker in a public-facing role to speak English fluently, the Cabinet Office announced Sunday. The Cabinet Office said it will mean all public sector organisations must ensure staff can communicate effectively with the public, at what will be similar to a language skill good enough to pass a high-level high college exam.
A spokesman for the Cabinet Office said: “This requirement would increase depending on the nature of the role and profession. Doctors, for example, are already required to have a much higher level of English.”
“Organisations including the National Health Service (NHS), armed forces and state-funded schools will all be bound by a new code (法规) of practice which will be produced following a consultation in the autumn. The law and code of practice will apply to both existing and new employees working in public-facing roles.”
Hancock said: “We are controlling immigration (移民) for the benefit of all hard-working people. That includes making sure that foreign nationals employed in customer-facing public sector roles are able to speak English of a high standard. We have already introduced tough new language requirements for migrants, now we will introduce new law in the coming Immigration Bill to deliver the commitment (承诺) made by Prime Minister David Cameron to go further.”
The new primary law will be used to extend the same level of language control to every public sector worker in a customer facing role. It will include police officers, social workers, teaching staff and assistants, and local government employees. Added Minister Hancock: “This will be the first time there has been an approach to enforcing (强制实施) fluent English across the public sector and will create a consistent experience for taxpayers, while promoting integration (整合；一体化) and British values in the United Kingdom.”
【1】In public sectors, the English requirement .
A.is going to apply only to new employees
B.will be different for different jobs
C.is the hardest for doctors
D.aroused a heated debate
【2】Which of the following may Hancock agree with?
A.People in Britain will have to work harder.
B.There are too many migrants in Britain.
C.It will be harder for foreigners to be Englishmen.
D.The requirement can help promote employment.
【3】It can be inferred from the last paragraph that .
A.the new law will involve many public sectors
B.it may be hard to carry out the new law
C.many public sector workers can’t use English well
D.the new law may change British values
【4】What does the text mainly tell us?
A.English is more and more popular and important in the world.
B.Fluent English will be a requirement in public sectors in Britain.
C.English can make a difference in effective communication at work.
D.A new primary law on immigration has been made in Britain.
23、Exhibition of the week
Charles II : Art & Power
Queen’s Gallery, London SW1 (0303-123 7300, www.royalcollection.org.uk), Until 13 May.
Charles II had the misfortune to be in a time “loaded with a rare tonnage of national botheration”, said Waldemar Januszczak in The Sunday Times. His father Charles, of course, “paid the price for his royalty” when he died in 1649. Arguably Charles II, who regained the throne (王位) in 1660, occupied “an even hotter seat”. He was well aware that he might suffer the same fate as his father. Yet, as this “uplifting” new exhibition at the Queen’s Gallery reveals, Charles was a “brilliant operator who played his moves like a chess grand-master”—and who used art to glorify the monarchy (君主制) and to justify his rule. The exhibition bring together a wealth of paintings, drawings and furniture he inherited or collected over the course of his “remarkably successful reign (统治)”. The result is a “grand” celebration of “a king who brought gaiety back to his nation”.
Art certainly played a “vital” role in establishing the Restoration, said Laura Cumming in the Observer. Prints in the exhibition show Charles “effortlessly” calming a horse or offering his “healing touch to the sick”. The Shropshire oak in which he famously hid from the Round-heads after the Battle of Worcester can be seen again and again. Most “striking” of all is John Michael Wright’s painting, which is so big that the viewer is “just about on kissing level with the royal feet”. But the show has an inherent flaw, said Nancy Durrant in the Times. On climbing up to the throne, Charles found that most of his father’s vast art collection had been sold off by Oliver Cromwell, and he set about securing its return. While this ambitious initiative was “effective” in England, it worked less well in recovering the masterpieces that were sold overseas—and their absence is disappointing once you learn what was lost.
Nevertheless Charles added some marvelous art to the Royal collection, said Jonathan Jones in the Guardian. There are many fine British works in this show—notably Peter Lely’s painting of a royal mistress, Louise de Kerouaille, Duchess of Portsmouth. However, the “drop-dead highlights” of Charles’s collection come from abroad: they include Lorenzo Lotto’s “intensely atmospheric” 1527 portrait of Andrea Odoni, and the hundreds of “amazing” drawings by Leonardo da Vinci, four of which are on show here. What an “absorbing” exhibition this is.
【1】According to the passage, Charles II ________.
A．suffered the same fate as his father, Charles I
B．ruled the nation in an incomparably fierce way
C．was one of the greatest chess players in history
D．started his reign while the nation was in trouble
【2】According paragraph 3, the “inherent flaw” refers to the fact that ________.
A．Charles II brought most of his father’s vast art collections abroad
B．visitors will feel disappointed to see what is on show in the exhibition
C．Oliver Cromwell wasn’t able to recover the masterpieces he once sold
D．the exhibition fails to include some masterpieces sold overseas in history
【3】Which of the following statements is true of the exhibition?
A．It is most famous for its local collections.
B．It shows how art was used to restore the nation.
C．It excludes what Charles II collected in his reign.
D．It includes hundreds of drawings by Leonardo da Vinci.
