The loneliest chimp(黑猩猩)in the world just got the best surprise------a hug from a new friend．Ponso has been by himself for nearly three years，finding himself alone after his wife and children died on the island where they were abandoned by a medical testing company many years ago．

For years a nearby villager named Germain has been Ponso’s only company，visiting him so often to bring bananas and bread—the chimp’s only source of food on the tiny island．It was clear how much Ponso missed companionship when he was recently visited by Chimpanzee Conservation Centre Director Estelle Raballand．The chimp immediately embraced Estelle Raballand in a huge hug and laughed as she reached out for him，with his smile from ear to ear．

For those who know Ponso’s backstory，his immediate ease and trust in humans might be surprising．Ponso was one of 20 chimps，all between the ages of 7 to 11 years old，relocated to an island off the Ivory Coast after being used for testing by the New York Blood Centre．After the tests were completed in 2005，the lab reportedly transferred the chimps to a string of islands，occasionally dropping off food and water because there was none in the chimps’ new homes．

Disease and hunger soon left only Ponso，his mate and their two children standing．But at the end of 2013 they died within days of each other and Ponso was now completely alone．

A group called SOS PONSO is trying to raise money for the poor lonely chimp，already achieving its goal of $20,000 - all of which will be used for Ponso’s care．

1.What do we know about the chimp Ponso?

A．He was deserted by his family．

B．He found many sources of food．

C．He came to the island for a test．

D．He suffers from loneliness greatly．

2.How did Ponso feel about the visit of Estelle Raballand?

A．Excited． B．Frightened．

C．Embarrassed． D．Confused.

3.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?

A．The chimps’ new settlement．

B．How Ponso came to the island．

C．Why Ponso was used for a test．

D．The medical test about chimps．

4.What can be inferred from the text?

A．Germain won’t visit Ponso any more．

B．A new lab will be built on the island．

C．Many people show concern for Ponso．

D．More chimps will be brought to the island．

Counterfeit (假冒的) goods, or false versions of products, may cost the government of Kenya as much as $1 billion each year. The fake goods also hurt business owners who find it hard to keep customers. But information technology is being used to try to stop the problem. Jemima Mwafigu is a 34-year-old businesswoman who sells products like perfume. But in the first year of running her business, she found it hard to keep customers because of counterfeit goods.

Ms. Mwafigu says her business has improved since she began using a smart phone application called Barcode (條碼) Scanner. The app is used to authenticate (驗(yàn)證) products. It checks to make sure the products are not counterfeit.

“With this application I'm able to scan the bar codes of each perfume and instantly I get the production date, the expiration date and I'm able to know the safety,” she says. “That way, I have confidence in selling to my customers.”

In 2010, Kenya created the Anti-Counterfeit Agency, or ACA, to fight against illegal trade. The ACA has successfully asked government officials for stronger punishments for counterfeiters.

Agnes Karingu is the agency’s acting director for research and awareness. She says the ACA is trying to stay one step ahead of those making fake goods.

“We are also looking into IT solutions where we can be able to use SMS programs, bar codes and information sharing,” she says. “The end users of the products will actually be able to get the authentication information, and this information comes back to ACA and intellectual property rights holders.”

The agency is testing another program called Allvirtuous. The application is another way to find out if a product is real or not by scanning its barcode. The barcode information is sent to a database. Then a result is sent back to the app.

The International Chamber of Commerce is a global business organization. It says the value of counterfeit goods produced around the world is expected to be more than $1.7 trillion (萬億) this year.

1. What’s the main purpose of this passage?

A. To tell us that Information Technology is developing fast.

B. To persuade us to resist counterfeit goods.

C. To advise us to use phone apps while going shopping.

D. To inform us that phone apps can help stop counterfeiters’ trade.

2. Why did Kenya create ACA?

A. To raise people’s awareness of counterfeit goods.

B. To ask the government to punish counterfeiters.

C. To deal with illegal trade.

D. To look into IT solutions.

3.The underlined phrase “expiration date” in Paragraph 3 means the time when __________.

A. the product is unable to be used

B. the product is packed

C. the product is first out of the factory

D. the product is made

4.What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. Measures should be taken immediately to prevent counterfeit goods.

B. The business of counterfeit goods is falling off.

C. The value of counterfeit goods is likely to be more than $1.7 trillion this year.

D. Counterfeit goods make a great contribution to the world economy.

The summer holiday is coming. My classmates and I are talking about how to do during the holiday. We can chose between staying at home and take a trip.

I made a promise to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage. For two weeks I would try to be a loving husband and father. Totally loving , unconditionly.

The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio. The speaker was quoting a Biblical passage about husbands and their wives. Then he went on to say, “Love is an act of will. A person can choose to love.” To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband. Well, for two weeks that would change.

And it did. Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, “That new yellow sweater looks great on you.” “Oh, Tom, you noticed”, she said, surprised and pleased. Maybe a little puzzled. After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but then I thought, “Evelyn’s been alone here with the kids all week and now she wants to be alone with me.” We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites.

So it went. Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums. Relaxed and happy, that’s how the whole vacation passed. I made a new promise to keep on remembering to choose love.?

There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however. Evelyn and I still laugh about it today. On the last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression.

“What’s the matter?” I asked her.

“Tom,” she said in a voice filled with distress, “ I don’t?”

“What do you mean?”

“Well…that checkup I had several weeks ago…our doctor…did he tell you something about me? Tom, you’ve been so good to me…am I dying?”

It took a moment for it all to be understood. Then I burst out laughing.

“No, honey,” I said, wrapping her in my arms. “You’re not dying; I’m just starting to live.”

1.From the story we may infer that Tom drove to the beach cottage ______.

A. with his family B. with Evelyn

C. alone D. with his children

2.During the two weeks on the beach, Tom showed more love to his wife because ______.

A. he was determined to be a good husband

3.The author says, “There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment.” What does “one thing” refer to?

A. He praised her sweater, which puzzled her.

B. She insisted on visiting a museum, which he hated.

C. He knew something about her illness but didn’t tell her.

D. He was so good to her that she thought she must be dying.

4.By saying “I’m just starting to live,” Tom means that ______.

A. he is just beginning to understand the real meaning of life

B. he is just beginning to enjoy life as a loving husband

C. he lived an unhappy life before and is now starting to change

科目：高中英語 來源：2017屆遼寧師范大學(xué)附中高三上期中考試英語卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

“Now stretch(伸展) over your right leg!” my dance teacher yells over the music. “If it doesn't hurt, you're not trying hard enough. Hold that stretch for 30 seconds!" My dance teacher works hard to form us into the dancers we desire to be. In order for this to occur, we stretch hard a lot!

Dancing is a real passion of many people, including me. I work hard to make myself better, and prove that I am good enough. Performing a dance routine is more than just a performance. Dancers tell stories when they dance. It is a way for us to express our personal feelings. Just letting go and letting your body move with the music can create your emotions. Dance tells us things that our mind secretly hides.

“Get up and do it again! You need to keep your spirits up!” Even though I am completely worn out after my dances, I love to hear those words. It gives me a sense of relief knowing that I can again express my feelings out on the floor.

“Practice makes perfect! Come on. We have a competition this weekend, and we need to work harder!” Competitions are the best possible example of fun. For a dancer, life cannot get better than competitions. The thrill of losing yourself onstage is a rush of energy rushing through your body! The feeling is unexplainable. As you sit there putting on your makeup, fixing your hair, and putting on your costume, the rush just gradually grows until it is ready to be released onstage.

Finally the time comes to tell your story. Standing backstage waiting for your name to be called is one of the scariest moments. You are ready to show the world what you are capable of and what you have been perfecting for a while. Once your number is called, you walk out onstage. The applause at the end tells each dancer that their story has been received, and that the dance has been brought to life.

1. What does the author's dance teacher require her to do during the dance class?

Build up her confidence.

. Keep encouraged and cheerful.

C. Train her body to the fullest.

D. Understand the music.

2.How does the author understand dancing according to the text?

A. It is a good way to release stress.

B. It takes talent, confidence and patience to dance well.

C. It is no more than a performance with our bodies.

D. It is a way to show our personal emotions.

3.As far as the author is concerned, a dance competition means____

A. an improvement in her life.

B. an opportunity to have fun.

C. a reflection of her perfect thoughts.

D. a way to experience the scariest moment

4.What would be the best title for the text?

A. Bringing dance to life B. Training for competitions

C. Dancers' special feelingsD. Encouragement from my teacher
