3.When Sara and Nathan Jones were training to become foster parents(養(yǎng)父母),their son,Noah,learned a tough thing or two about foster care.For instance,nearly 600 local foster kids changed families every year,and they carried their belongings from one home to the next in black garbage bags.
Noah,then ten,couldn't imagine putting his clothes,favorite toy,and soccer ball into a rubbish bag and dragging it to a new house in the middle of the night."Packing kids'belongings into rubbish bags is like telling them that their stuff has no worth,"says Noah.
So with help from his parents and younger sisters,Macy,then nine,and Molly,then seven,Noah began to collect suitcases and duffel bags from friends and extended family.He then sent letters to churches and put ads in local newspapers and on radio stations asking for donations.Within a few months,the family was collecting about 500 bags a week,which they stored briefly in their spare bathroom and downstairs hallway before giving them to foster care caseworkers at the Department for Community Based Services.
In addition to suitcases,Noah now provides foster kids with backpacks containing shampoo,soap,a journal,and a toy-all donated."My hope is that by giving the children things that are just theirs,they will feel a little control in the midst of the chaos,"says Noah.Noah's group,A Case for Dignity,collects and distributes hundreds of bags a year.He recently convinced foster care managers from 15 Kentucky counties to pledge to use his bags instead of trash bags."I've been so inspired by him,"says his mom."If a ten-year-old can see a problem and create a solution,how much more can we do as adults?"

28.What problem did Noah find involving foster care?A
A.The foster kids had to put their belongings into black rubbish bags.
B.The foster kids had to throw their belongings out whenever they moved.
C.Too many foster kids change families every year.
D.The foster kids did not like their new homes.
29.What did Noah do about the problem?C
A.He complained to his parents and sisters about it.
B.He convinced foster families to be kind to the kids.
C.He collected suitcases and duffel bags from various sources.
D.He made friends with foster kids.
30.What did Noah provide for foster kids besides suitcases?B
A.Backpacks containing money.
B.Backpacks containing shampoo,soap,a journal and a toy.
C.Backpacks containing all kinds of books.
D.Backpacks containing food.
31.We can learn from the words of Noah's mother thatB.
A.she is not proud of his achievements.
B.she has been moved by his actions.
C.children can solve problems better than adults.
D.a(chǎn)dults should collect more suitcases that children.

解答 28.A,細(xì)節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)句子For instance,nearly 600 local foster kids changed families every year,and they carried their belongings from one home to the next in black garbage bags.可知,被收養(yǎng)的兒童的一個(gè)最大問(wèn)題就是每次換寄養(yǎng)家庭時(shí),他們的行李要用黑色垃圾袋裝著,故答案為A.
29.C,細(xì)節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)句子Noah began to collect suitcases and duffel bags from friends and extended family,Noah為了解決被收養(yǎng)兒童沒(méi)有行李袋的問(wèn)題,他通過(guò)各種方式為他們收集手提箱和行李袋,故答案為C.
30.B,細(xì)節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)句子In addition to suitcases,Noah now provides foster kids with backpacks containing shampoo,soap,a journal,and a toy-all donated可知,Noah除了幫他們收集行李箱,還有洗發(fā)水、肥皂、日志和玩具等,故答案為B.
31.B,推理判斷題,根據(jù)Noah的媽媽說(shuō)的話I've been so inspired by him可知,她被Noah所做的事情所感動(dòng)到了,故答案為B.

13.Each year,more than 30,000 elephants are poached(偷獵)for their ivory.But recently,china-the world's largest market for ivory products-promised to end its sale of ivory.
"Ending legal sales of ivory in China is the greatest step to reduce elephant poaching in African,"says Peter Knights,CEO of the conservation group Wild-Aid."We praise China for its leadership."
   Chinese leaders say that the nation will gradually reduce its amount to zero.They are also encouraging other countries to follow China's lead by taking action against the illegal ivory trade.
   Africa once had as many as 3.5 million elephants.Today,only about 500,000 remain.Conservation experts say elephants could someday disappear entirely if the illegal ivory trade does not end.
   The international trade of ivory was banned in 1989.However,China has still allowed ivory to be sold.In addition,the US-the second-largest market for ivory-still allows the trade of ivory acquired before the ban.Europeans still support the ivory market by selling ivory from long ago.Many poachers are taking advantages of these rules.They are still illegally hunting elephants for ivory,but selling the ivory in legal markets.
  Last week,the US destroyed more than a ton of ivory in New York City's Time Square to show its commitment to ending the illegal ivory trade.China held a similar ivory-crushing event last month,and other countries have done the same in recent years.
  Some wildlife supporters say destroying ivory will reduce the supply of ivory,leading to more poaching.But organizers say the events will raise awareness of the illegal ivory trade and increase support for ending it.
"China,the US and the other major ivory-consuming countries hold the key to saving Africa's elephants,"says Ginette Hemley,senior vice president of Wildlife Conservation at the World Wildlife Fund.

11.Rene Laennec was a French doctor who learned to tap on people's chests to find out illness from an Austrian doctor named Leopold Auenbrugger.As a boy,Leopold used to tap wine(41)containers(contain) in his father's inn to see how much wine they held.A full one made(42)a  different sound from an empty one.When he became a doctor,he(43)tapped (tap)people's chests to see how much liquid was in their lungs.Laennec did the same and learned to tell by tapping carefully on a chest(44)whetherit was diseased or not.But he was even more interested(45)in diseases of the heart,and he wished that he could hear heartbeats clearly.In those days,a doctor would place his head on a patient's chest to listen,but if the patient was(46)extremely(extreme) fat it was impossible to hear any heartbeat at all.
One day when Laennec(47)was walking(walk) in the park,he saw some girls playing with a see-saw(蹺蹺板).One of them scratched the end of the board while the others placed their ears against the other end.On walking up,the doctor was asked why the sounds travelled along the wood."The sounds are magnified(放大),girls,er…"Suddenly he turned and rushed back to the hospital.Quickly(48)taking(take) some thick paper,he rolled it up like a tube and began listening to patients'chests.He heard the heartbeats and(49)their(they) breathing clearly.Laennec soon made a better instrument of wood,one he called a stethoscope(聽(tīng)診器).Later,they(50)were made (make) of steel and rubber.

10.Coral reefs
       For millions of years,coral reefs have provided homes and food for thousands of different living things.Fish and sea birds share the reef with other sea creatures.Now these beautiful places are in danger.(36)CScientists have found that people and pollution have ruined more than one-fourth of the earth's coral reefs.Unless things change,all of the remaining reefs may die within your lifetime.
       Some people think that coral is stone because of its rough,hard surface.But coral is an animal!Tiny polyps (水螅體) form the coral reefs.(37)AThese colours come from the algae (海藻)  living inside the coral.Billions of coral polyps stick together.New ones grow on the dead corals.This happens year after year.Over time,the coral builds up a reef.The reef rises from the ocean floor until it almost reaches the sea's surface.It takes coral 500,000 years to build a huge reef.(38)FThe coral reefs have been harmed in different ways.People have broken off pieces of coral.They wanted to sell or keep them.To catch more fish,people have dropped sticks of dynamite (炸藥) into the water.(39)EWater pollution has encouraged overgrowth of the sea plants that grow near coral reefs.They block out the sunlight that the algae need.(40)DWarm water kills the algae.When the algae die,the coral loses both its food and its color.The coral turns white and dies.Scientists call this coral bleaching (珊瑚白化).The bleached part of the coral reef cannot recover.

A.They come in many colours.
B.This has blown up parts of the reefs.
C.So are all the sea plants and animals that depend on them.
D.The worst problem is the heating up of the world's oceans.
E.Coral reefs are experiencing a rapid increase in most locations.
F.However,it has taken human beings less than 100 years to destroy the reefs.
G.They cover less than 1% of the ocean floor,but support about 25% of sea creatures.
