The Woolly Monkey Mysteries: The Quest to Save a Rain Forest Species
By Sandra Markle. Ages 8 to 10.
Woolly Monkeys spend most of their time high up in 150-foot-tall trees. That makes them difficult animals to count and to study. But cameras have provided valuable information and taken, as this book shows, amazing pictures. Experts now believe that Peru’s lowland monkeys and the waste they produce are necessary to the survival of the rain forest.
Camp Panda: Helping Cubs Return to the Wild
By Catherine Thimmesh. Ages 10 to 12.
The giant panda is much-beloved in China, but in the past 40 years, at least half of its places have been destroyed. Camp Panda tells about efforts to reintroduce the giant pandas into the wild so that they might have a future. As part of the efforts, people wear panda costumes that smell like pandas while weighing and measuring the young pandas. They aren’t supposed to get used to seeing and being around people, because people could bring a threat to them in the wild.
Beyond Words: What Elephants and Whales Think and Feel
By Carl Safina. Ages 10 and older.

This book makes a strong case for protecting the ability of these animals to live freely.

By Nancy F. Castaldo. Ages 10 and older.
This book focuses on seven groups of animals—including whooping cranes, California condors and American alligators—that were brought back to healthy numbers by a lot of efforts.

Imagine this: you are twenty-one years old and a promising graduate student at one of the top universities in the world. One day, your doctor tells you that you have an incurable disease and may not have more than twelve months to live. How would you feel What would you do Here is what Stephen Hawking thought:
(There did not seem) much point in working on my PhD-I did not expect to survive that long. Yet two years had gone by and I was not that much worse. In fact, things were going rather well for me and I had got engaged to a very nice girl, Jane Wilde. But in order to get married, I needed a job,and in order to get a job, I needed a PhD.
Instead of giving up, Hawking went on with his research, got his PhD and married Jane. Nor did he let the disease stop him from living the kind of life he had always dreamt of. He continued his exploration of the universe and travelled around the world to give lectures. As his disease has disabled him, Hawking has to sit in his now-famous wheelchair and speak through a computer. He talked about his theories and thoughts on some of the greatest questions: What is time, how did the universe begin,and what exactly are black holes
Hawking became famous in the early 1970s, when he and American Roger Penrose made new discoveries about the Big Bang and black holes. Since then, Hawking has continued to seek answers to questions about the nature of the universe. In 1988, he wrote A Brief History of Time, which quickly became a best-seller. Readers were pleased and surprised to find that a scientist could write about his work in a way that ordinary people could understand. The book sold more than 5.5 million copies in 33 different languages.
24.According to the quote in paragraph 2, when was Stephen Hawking told about his disease
A.Twelve months earlier. B.When he was getting married.
C.Two years earlier. D.When he met Jane Wilde.
25.Why did Stephen Hawking think: “There did not seem much point in working on my PhD ”
A.Because there was no point in being a PhD. B.Because he thought he would die soon.
C.Because there was no hope of being PhD. D.Because he had no place to work.
26.What made Hawking known to the world in 1970s
A.His book A Brief History of Time. B.His discovery about the Big Bang and black hole.
C.His fighting against the disease. D.His lectures to university students.
27.What can we learn from Steven Hawking
A.Where there is a will,there is a way. B.Every road leads to Rome.
C.Practice makes perfect. D.Better late than never.

Everyone knows they feel amazingly good and refreshed after a good night’s sleep but now scientists have discovered it can help you to live longer too. According to a study in the US, healthy sleeping habits mean men can live almost five years longer, and women for two years. It also found that sleep improves our health and reduces the risk of heart disease.
However, the study by the American College of Cardiology(心脏病学)shows it’s not just about how long you sleep; the quality of your sleep is important, too. Dr Frank Qian, who led the study, said sleep must be restful. The researchers said that sleep of high quality for adults depended on five fundamental elements: getting seven to eight hours of sleep each night; having trouble falling asleep no more than twice a week; having trouble staying asleep no more than twice a week; not using medicine to get to sleep; and waking up feeling rested at least five days a week.
Each factor was given one point, with a maximum of five points for the highest quality of sleep. The researchers looked at the results of a survey of 172,321 people in the US that measured their health habits, including sleep, over five years. They found that people who had all five points were likely to live longer and lead healthier lives than those who had sleep difficulties.
According to the Sleep Charity, a good night’s sleep can improve people’s memory and immune(免疫)system. Dr Qian admits that no one’s sleep is perfect—everyone has a late or restless night sometimes. However, he said, “Even from a young age, if people can develop these good habits of getting enough sleep, making sure they are sleeping without too many distractions, which originate from daily troubles or noisy surroundings. And gradually it can greatly benefit their overall long-term health.”
The study was based on people reporting their own sleep habits rather than recording them scientifically, so this may have affected the results and more research is needed.
28.What can be inferred from Paragraph 1
A.People with bad sleep may always feel unsettled.
B.Good sleep can benefit mental and physical health.
C.People with good sleeping habits can recite knowledge better.
D.Healthy sleeping habits can prevent people from many diseases.
29.Which of the following may Dr Frank Qian agree with
A.Sleep’s quality is more vital than its length.
B.Sleep’s quality lies in five important factors.
C.People who meet five factors are bound to live much longer.
D.People with sleep difficulties are likely to have a bad memory.
30.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “distractions” in Paragraph 4
A.Pills. B.Assignments. C.Bothers. D.Routines.
31.What will be needed for the study to offer more convincing findings
A.The analyses of more samples. B.The survey of more sleep issues.
C.The study of more influential elements. D.The more scientific methods of research.
D
Dulse (掌状红皮藻) grows along northern, rocky coastlines of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. And its colorful, soft leaves hide an amazing taste. “I think it is a food of the future,” says Chris Langdon, who has been studying dulse for more than ten years at Oregon State University in Portland. He has found new ways to grow it faster. It not only grows cheaply and easily, but also is rich in protein (蛋白质), Those qualities allow creative cooks to bring this unlikely treat to our favourite restaurants.
People need to seek out new foods because the world has so many mouths to feed. As of 2015, there were more than seven billion people on Earth, and by 2100 that number may double according to the UN. Feeding all of these people means not only improving the way food is grown, but also finding new foods. If nothing changes, within 35 years, the world’s population will be greater than the amount of food produced according to a report prepared by the Global Harvest Initiative.
Global warming is changing food production. Scientists say that rising temperatures will reduce the growth of important crops(作物) like wheat and corn. Developing countries will be hit the hardest. When crops fall, they will become more expensive. And since those foods are also used to feed animals like cows and pigs, meat prices will also rise.
All over the world, researchers are working around the clock to find out how to best feed more people in the world. And some surprising ideas have begun to come out. Two years ago, scientists made the first burger from meat grown in a lab, rather than taken from an animal. The project cost more than $ 300,000, but it’s a good start. Other researchers are developing crops that can grow well in the heat. Still others are finding ways to make meat animals produce more meat.
32.Why does the author mention the dulse in the first paragraph
A.To show a new study. B.To introduce a friend
C.To describe the Pacific. D.To lead in the topic.
33.What drives people to look for new foods according to the text
A.A rise in meat prices. B.An increasing population.
C.The polluted farmland. D.The serious waste of food.
34.What is the author’s attitude towards the first burger made from lab-grown meat
A.Doubtful. B.Uncaring. C.Defensive. D.Positive.
35.Which can be the best title for the text
A.New Ways to Grow Crops
B.A Sharp Fall in Crops Worldwide
C.Finding Foods for the Future
D.Reducing Food Prices for the Poor

There are some people who seem to always be surrounded by friends, and there are others who always seem to be standing on the outside, looking in at the crowds of friends. If you are one of the outsiders, it is time to break out of your shell and start making new friends. Here are some tips that will help.

Start with people you know. Reach out and contact acquaintances, and reconnect with old friends you haven’t seen in a long time. Don’t forget about friends of friends. You may connect with some really cool people just by hanging out with your friends and their friends. 39 . If you stay home, you aren’t going to meet people.

Thick snow covered around my car. Everything around me was blanketed in white. The light was fading as the sun set over the rocky peaks.
I was driving up a mountain and it was supposed to be a four-hour trip from Red River, to Durango. I inched along on a winding, unfamiliar road in a snowstorm. I was on my way to meet my friend Jane, who was visiting her family in Durango. She’d invited me to join them for the weekend. The fastest way to Durango from Red River would be this mountain road. I was so excited about the weekend that I left without checking the weather.
Thirty minutes into my drive, the snow had started. It was gentle snow at first. I thought about turning around. Because it hardly looked threatening, I continued. Now I regretted that decision. But it was too late. The road was too narrow and icy for me to turn around. The snow was getting worse. The only way out was forward, higher and higher into the mountains. The last bit of sunlight disappeared, and I couldn’t see anything beyond the few feet lighted by my headlights.
My cell phone had lost service as soon as I’d entered the mountain pass and was powered off. I couldn’t call for help. I had some bottled water in the car and the clothes in my luggage. Maybe I could find a place to pull over and wear more clothes until morning. Would that be enough to keep me warm all night How long would it take for someone to find me “Everything will be fine,” I whispered.
Then I noticed a pair of lights seemed to glow dimly (隐隐发光) through the snowstorm. I opened my eyes wide and then drove ahead. There they were. Tail-lights! There was a car in front of me! At least someone was here with me. “Focus on the lights, not your fear,” I told myself.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;

I could see the car’s tire tracks in my headlights.

66.Dear Robert,
I’m glad to have heard from you. You said you wanted to know about the out-of-class activities of our school. I’d like to take a normal day for example.
After morning reading, all students are required to participate in the morning running on the playground. Besides, another thirty minutes is arranged for us to have a break between classes, when we have regular sporting exercises, like playing badminton or jumping ropes with classmates. Spending a certain amount of time participating in sports can be an excellent way for us students to relax ourselves. It also helps us become well-rounded individuals.
Yours,
Li Hua
67.I could see the car’s tire tracks in my headlights. All I had to do was follow the tracks the rest of the way down the mountain. I drove slowly, keeping my wheels within the tracks every inch of the way. Soon I could see the lights of a town twinkling in the distance. The snow started to cover the tracks I was following. But both of us had made it.
After leaving the narrow mountain road, I got closer and the car I followed stopped. As I got closer, I saw it was a SUV. I pulled up beside it and rolled down my window. The driver of the car did the same. “Many thanks. I was really scared on my way. Fortunately, I followed you. It was your car’s light and tracks that gave me hope and encouragement.” The driver looked at me and smiled. “My pleasure. To tell you the truth I was also fearful at the heavy snow, but when I noticed there was a car behind me I felt much better.” In fact we hadn’t been alone on that mountain road at night.
