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(圈养).

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?

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(横杆), 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(性别)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

根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

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(资源)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.

提高英语成绩的学习方法

1、听力成绩提升

建议用3-4分钟的长文，一句一句暂停着听，然后把它写到纸上，从头到尾反复听到将原文还原为止。在这个过程中无法避免会有自己不认识的词，你可能会听到几个英语字母，也要把它记下来占位置。直到你整篇文章都写下来了，只剩下生词，就可以开始对原文查词了，只有这样成绩才能提高。

2、重点复习语法

英语语法是知道语言的法则，是语言呈现的规律。可以多做英语阅读理解和完形填空，因为里面涉及很多语法、单词、词组、固定搭配等小知识点，英语阅读做得多了能起到举一反

3、检查单词是否记牢

高考英语必须掌握3500词汇，如果有能力可以多掌握一些词汇，能掌握4500词汇以上更好，因为高考肯定会考一些没见过的单词。单词记忆尽量不要死记硬背，最好有语境，把高考英语单词全部融入到文章中的记忆方法更好。

4、字迹工整

重中之重孩子想要拿高成绩，其实也很简单。那就是在写作的时候，即使你写的文章可能不是很精彩，但是字迹工整的会同样受到阅卷老师讲的欢迎。无论是写什么卷子时，有个好的字迹，成绩也不会很差，也是很吃香的!

高三应该怎么学英语

许多高中学生都思考着有什么可以快速提高英语成绩的方法，但学习没有捷径。如果学生高三英语零基础，是自己的英语基础问题，既然初中没学，那么就要把它捡起来。

在高三的第一轮复习中，重点在于复习词汇和知识点，要注意听，即使一堂课掌握几个短语也是不错的。课后也可以拿着单词书，从背单词开始，英语一定要有词汇基础，否则什么都没有用。

提高英语成绩，虽然找准方法很重要，但是凡事贵在坚持，所以一定要坚持住，一年也不是很长，集中精力咬咬牙也就挺过去了。自己的成绩才是最重要的。

高中英语该如何学习

一、积极参与课堂活动。

我们现在使用的高中英语教材是新教材，课文短小口语化，主题贴近现实生活，课文中设计了内容丰富并与主题相关的听、说、读、写等开放性的任务型活动和探究性学习的内容。新教材重点强调学生动口动手，而不是死记单词和语法规则。

课堂上我们一定要听从老师的指挥，积极参与对话、讨论，发言，要敢于开口，不怕出错，珍惜课堂上的每一分钟，不放弃每一次用英语交流的机会;不会说的也要说。要讲好英语就是要胆子大,脸皮厚。英语是一门实践性很强的学科，只有大胆实践，才能提高交流能力。

二、英语学习要重视句子和文章的朗读背诵，以培养语感。

学英语记单词很重要，但机械记忆的单词量再大，也不会真正提高你的英语水平。要做到词不离句，句不离文。请记住:句子比单词重要，记句子比记单词划算。我们要养成背句子的好习惯，因为句子中既包含了发音规则，又有语法内容，还有词的具体用法。

三、英语学习要重视复习。

英语知识点多，需要大量记忆。很多同学抱怨，说自己的记性差，记了又忘了。有什么办法能让我们记得长久些，甚至终生不忘?有2个办法。最好的办法以是听课文录音带。反复地听，反复地读，课文中的语言点、词汇在录音带中不断被重复。这跟我们提倡朗读是一个道理，声音对大脑的刺激有助于记忆。记住：英语首先是一门声音，我们要多运用耳朵和嘴巴，要大量进行声音的输入与输出。想学好英语复读机、录音机是比不可少的。

四、要经常复习。

要合理地安排复习时间。首先要及时复习。遗忘的规律是:前快后慢，先多后少,识记后最初遗忘得较快，以后逐渐减慢。针对这一规律，学习新知识后应及早加以复习。其次在复习中要多尝试回忆,背诵。就是边读边回忆。就像小学生背书一样，读一段，书合起来试着背，背不出来时再看一看。尝试着回忆与识记交替进行，印象会更深刻一些，同时也知道了教材的难点在哪里,复习更有目的性。
