Port Lympne Reserve, which runs a breeding(繁育)programme, has welcomed the arrival of a rare black rhino calf(犀牛幼崽).When the tiny creature arrived on January 31, she became the 40th black rhino to be born at the reserve. And officials at Port Lympne were delighted with the new arrival, especially as black rhinos are known for being difficult to breed in captivity(圈養).

Paul Beer, head of rhino section at Port Lympne, said: “Obviously we’re all absolutely delighted to welcome another calf to our black rhino family. She’s healthy, strong and already eager to play and explore. Her mother, Solio, is a first-time mum and she is doing a fantastic job. It’s still a little too cold for them to go out into the open, but as soon as the weather warms up, I have no doubt that the little one will be out and about exploring and playing every day.”

The adorable female calf is the second black rhino born this year at the reserve, but it is too early to tell if the calves will make good candidates to be returned to protected areas of the wild. The first rhino to be born at Port Lympne arrived on January 5 to first-time mother Kisima and weighed about 32 kg. His mother, grandmother and great grandmother were all born at the reserve and still live there.

According to the World Wildlife Fund, the global black rhino population has dropped as low as 5500, giving the rhinos a “critically endangered” status.

4. Which of the following best describes the breeding programme?

A. Costly. B. Controversial. C. Ambitious. D. Successful.

5. What does Paul Beer say about the new-born rhino?

A. She loves staying with her mother. B. She dislikes outdoor activities.

C. She is in good condition. D. She is sensitive to heat.

6. What similar experience do Solio and Kisima have?

A. They had their first born in January. B. They enjoyed exploring new places.

C. They lived with their grandmothers. D. They were brought to the reserve young.

7. What can be inferred about Porn Lympne Reserve?

When I was 9, we packed up our home in Los Angeles and arrived at Heathrow, London on a gray January morning. Everyone in the family settled quickly into the city except me. Without my beloved beaches and endless blue-sky days, I felt at a loss and out of place. Until I made a discovery.

Southbank, at an eastern bend in the Thames, is the center of British skateboarding, where the continuous crashing of skateboards left your head ringing .I loved it. I soon made friends with the local skaters. We spoke our own language. And my favorite: Safe. Safe meant cool. It meant hello. It meant don’t worry about it. Once, when trying a certain trick on the beam(橫桿), I fell onto the stones, damaging a nerve in my hand, and Toby came over, helping me up: Safe, man. Safe. A few minutes later, when I landed the trick, my friends beat their boards loud, shouting: “ Safe! Safe! Safe!” And that’s what mattered — landing tricks, being a good skater.

When I was 15, my family moved to Washington. I tried skateboarding there, but the locals were far less welcoming. Within a couple of years, I’d given it up.

When I returned to London in 2004, I found myself wandering down to Southbank, spending hours there. I’ve traveled back several times since, most recently this past spring. The day was cold but clear; tourists and Londoners stopped to watch the skaters. Weaving(穿梭)among the kids who rushed by on their boards, I found my way to the beam. Then a rail-thin teenager, in a baggy white T—shirt, skidded(滑)up to the beam. He sat next to me. He seemed not to notice the man next to him. But soon I caught a few of his glances. “I was a local here 20 years ago,” I told him. Then, slowly, he began to nod his head. “Safe, man. Safe.”

“Yeah,” I said. “Safe.”

8. What can we learn about the author soon after he moved to London?

A. He felt disappointed. B. He gave up his hobby.

C. He liked the weather there. D. He had disagreements with his family.

9. What do the underlined words “Safe! Safe! Safe!” probably mean?

A. Be careful! B. Well done! C. No way! D. Don’t worry!

10. Why did the author like to spend time in Southbank when he returned to London?

A. To join the skateboarding. B. To make new friends.

C. To learn more tricks. D. To relive his childhood days

11. What message does the author seem to convey in the text?

A. Children should learn a second language.

B. Sport is necessary for children’s health.

C. Children need a sense of belonging

D. Seeing the world is a must for children.

D

Who is a genius? This question has greatly interested humankind for centuries.

Let’s state clearly: Einstein was a genius. His face is almost the international symbol for genius. But we want to go beyond one man and explore the nature of genius itself. Why is it that some people are so much more intelligent or creative than the rest of us? And who are they?

In the sciences and arts, those praised as geniuses were most often white men, of European origin. Perhaps this is not a surprise. It’s said that history is written by the victors, and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club — women, or people of a different color or belief — they were unacknowledged and rejected by others.

A study recently published by Science found that as young as age six, girls are less likely than boys to say that members of their gender(性別)are “really, really smart.” Even worse, the study found that girls act on that belief: Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are “really, really smart.” Can our planet afford to have any great thinkers become discouraged and give up? It doesn’t take a genius to know the answer: absolutely not.

Here’s the good news. In a wired world with constant global communication, we’re all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear. And the more we look, the more we will see that social factors(因素)like gender, race, and class do not determine the appearance of genius. As a writer says, future geniuses come from those with “intelligence, creativity, perseverance(毅力), and simple good fortune, who are able to change the world."

12. What does the author think of victors’ standards for joining the genius club?

A. They’re unfair. B. They’re conservative.

C. They’re objective. D. They’re strict.

13. What can we infer about girls from the study in Science?

A. They think themselves smart.

B. They look up to great thinkers.

C. They see gender differences earlier than boys.

D. They are likely to be influenced by social beliefs.

14. Why are more geniuses known to the public?

A. Improved global communication.

B. Less discrimination against women.

C. Acceptance of victors’ concepts.

D. Changes in people’s social positions.

15. What is the best title for the text?

A. Geniuses Think Alike B. Genius Takes Many Forms

C. Genius and Intelligence D. Genius and Luck

Swap, Don’t shop!

You keep hearing about recycling, right? But it doesn’t end with bottles, cans, and paper. Clothing takes a huge amount of natural resources(資源)to make, and buying loads of new clothing(or throwing out old clothing)is not healthy for the environment. So what to do with all those perfectly-good-but-you’re-maybe-a-little-sick-of-them clothes piled on your bedroom floor? 16 . It’s the best way to get rid of your used clothes, score clothes from your friends, and have a party all at the same time.

A successful swap depends on the selection of clothes, the organization of the event, and, obviously, how much fun is had. It’s really easy to do! Here are a few pointers.

●Invite 5—10 people so you have a nice selection. 17 , and there may not be enough things to choose from; more than that, and it becomes uncontrollable.

● 18 . They should also prepare plenty of reusable bags to carry their "new" clothes home.

●Put different types of clothing on different surfaces in the room. 19 . Place a few mirrors around your room so people can see how things look when they try them on. One of the ground rules of the swap should be that everyone must try on the clothes before they take them — things always look different when you put them on.

●Set a starting time. Maybe you say “go,” or turn on a certain song, or whatever. 20 . And don’t forget to put out some cookies and fruits. Remember, it’s a party!

A. Less people than that

B. Hold a clothing swap

C. If two people are competing

D. Just keep music playing throughout

E. Donate whatever clothes are left over

F. Have everyone put their clothes in the right spots

G. Tell everyone to bring clean clothes in good condition

Last week our teacher asked us to fill in a questionnaire. One of the questions are：Who will you go in times of trouble? Here are the results. Many students say they will talk to their friend or classmates because they’re of the same age and can understand each other. Some will turn out to their parents or teachers for help. Only a little choose to deal with the problems on our own. Their answers also show that they dislike talk to others. They kept very much to themselves. In my opinion, where in trouble, we should seek help from those we trust mostly.

提高英語成績的學習方法

1、聽力成績提升

建議用3-4分鐘的長文，一句一句暫停著聽，然后把它寫到紙上，從頭到尾反復聽到將原文還原為止。在這個過程中無法避免會有自己不認識的詞，你可能會聽到幾個英語字母，也要把它記下來占位置。直到你整篇文章都寫下來了，只剩下生詞，就可以開始對原文查詞了，只有這樣成績才能提高。

2、重點復習語法

英語語法是知道語言的法則，是語言呈現的規律。可以多做英語閱讀理解和完形填空，因為里面涉及很多語法、單詞、詞組、固定搭配等小知識點，英語閱讀做得多了能起到舉一反

3、檢查單詞是否記牢

高考英語必須掌握3500詞匯，如果有能力可以多掌握一些詞匯，能掌握4500詞匯以上更好，因為高考肯定會考一些沒見過的單詞。單詞記憶盡量不要死記硬背，最好有語境，把高考英語單詞全部融入到文章中的記憶方法更好。

4、字跡工整

重中之重孩子想要拿高成績，其實也很簡單。那就是在寫作的時候，即使你寫的文章可能不是很精彩，但是字跡工整的會同樣受到閱卷老師講的歡迎。無論是寫什么卷子時，有個好的字跡，成績也不會很差，也是很吃香的!

高三應該怎么學英語

許多高中學生都思考著有什么可以快速提高英語成績的方法，但學習沒有捷徑。如果學生高三英語零基礎，是自己的英語基礎問題，既然初中沒學，那么就要把它撿起來。

在高三的第一輪復習中，重點在于復習詞匯和知識點，要注意聽，即使一堂課掌握幾個短語也是不錯的。課后也可以拿著單詞書，從背單詞開始，英語一定要有詞匯基礎，否則什么都沒有用。

提高英語成績，雖然找準方法很重要，但是凡事貴在堅持，所以一定要堅持住，一年也不是很長，集中精力咬咬牙也就挺過去了。自己的成績才是最重要的。

高中英語該如何學習

一、積極參與課堂活動。

我們現在使用的高中英語教材是新教材，課文短小口語化，主題貼近現實生活，課文中設計了內容豐富并與主題相關的聽、說、讀、寫等開放性的任務型活動和探究性學習的內容。新教材重點強調學生動口動手，而不是死記單詞和語法規則。

課堂上我們一定要聽從老師的指揮，積極參與對話、討論，發言，要敢于開口，不怕出錯，珍惜課堂上的每一分鐘，不放棄每一次用英語交流的機會;不會說的也要說。要講好英語就是要膽子大,臉皮厚。英語是一門實踐性很強的學科，只有大膽實踐，才能提高交流能力。

二、英語學習要重視句子和文章的朗讀背誦，以培養語感。

學英語記單詞很重要，但機械記憶的單詞量再大，也不會真正提高你的英語水平。要做到詞不離句，句不離文。請記住:句子比單詞重要，記句子比記單詞劃算。我們要養成背句子的好習慣，因為句子中既包含了發音規則，又有語法內容，還有詞的具體用法。

三、英語學習要重視復習。

英語知識點多，需要大量記憶。很多同學抱怨，說自己的記性差，記了又忘了。有什么辦法能讓我們記得長久些，甚至終生不忘?有2個辦法。最好的辦法以是聽課文錄音帶。反復地聽，反復地讀，課文中的語言點、詞匯在錄音帶中不斷被重復。這跟我們提倡朗讀是一個道理，聲音對大腦的刺激有助于記憶。記住：英語首先是一門聲音，我們要多運用耳朵和嘴巴，要大量進行聲音的輸入與輸出。想學好英語復讀機、錄音機是比不可少的。

四、要經常復習。

要合理地安排復習時間。首先要及時復習。遺忘的規律是:前快后慢，先多后少,識記后最初遺忘得較快，以后逐漸減慢。針對這一規律，學習新知識后應及早加以復習。其次在復習中要多嘗試回憶,背誦。就是邊讀邊回憶。就像小學生背書一樣，讀一段，書合起來試著背，背不出來時再看一看。嘗試著回憶與識記交替進行，印象會更深刻一些，同時也知道了教材的難點在哪里,復習更有目的性。
