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?

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

After 44 (spend) some time looking at all the defensive equipment at the wall, we decided it was time for some action and what 45 (good) than to ride on a piece of history!

We 46 (hire) our bikes from the rental place at the South Gate. My bike was old and shaky 47 did the job. It took us about 3 hours to go all 48 way around the Xi’an City Wall.

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.

高考英语复习的方法归纳

1、经常使用英汉

双解词典的习惯高三学生阅读面扩大，需要补充词汇量。学生应备一本英汉词典，如牛津中、高阶英汉双解词典，在学习中随时查阅。这在很大程度上能解决学生的疑惑，帮助理解词的用法，词汇量也就随之不断扩大。

2、良好的朗读

背诵习惯朗读是在课文所提供的语境中对语音、语调、意群、句型等基础知识的综合练习，同时培养纯正的语音语调和好的用语习惯以及为听力打下坚实的基础。对学过的句型、词组、对话、课文进行朗读和背诵，形成流利的语感，也培养了理解能力，为说、读及英语写作打好基础，这是提高英语水平的根本方法。

3、常做到良好的书写习惯

养成书写规范、字迹工整、卷面整洁的习惯也很重要。高中相当一部分学生的字体书写不好，难以辨认，大小写不分，词距若有若无，标点符号乱用，给老师批改作业和试卷造成极大的麻烦。这在高考阅卷评分中会吃大亏，白白丢分。因此，高三学生平时要养成书写规范的习惯，对大小写、标点符号和词距等一定要一丝不苟，力求规范化、整齐美观。

4、常常保持记录纠正错题的习惯

每次练习或考试后，应该把自己做错的具有代表性的题目抄下来，收集汇编，然后把老师对错题讲解后的正确语句熟读牢记，保留错误的答案，用红笔写上正确的答案，眉批上理由分析，这样就形成新的语言习惯。平时和临考前翻看，加深印象，引起注意，大大减少了错误率。既巩固了知识，又提高了应试能力，发挥了的水平。

5、常常练习英语听力的习惯

听英语是对英语词汇，语法，理解能力的一种测试，无论你是听标准的英语听力题，还是英语歌曲，只要你能听明白，理解了，那就说明你对这段听力所含的单词，语法都掌握了，所以要保持听英语的习惯。

高效复习英语的方法

系统地练习了基本知识点和相应的答题技巧。因此，此时的复习重点放在模拟练习上。首先，对于模拟试卷的选择要以历年高考试卷为主，辅以各区县的模拟卷。

让学生真正了解高考英语试卷的难度和设置问题的习惯。其次，教师对模拟试卷的讲评应该更加灵活，不能局限于某个题目的正确答案，而是可以拓展学生相应的知识点和回答技巧。

同时，学生在面对错题时，不要将目光锁定于自己做错了多少题，这样不但不会提高能力，反而会降低自我效能感。因此，学生应该透过现象看到本质，找出错题背后的知识点，进行查漏补缺。

高中英语学习方法和技巧

1，积累词汇、抓好阅读。

学英语的一大难题就是记单词，关于词汇的学习，应坚持词不离句、句不离篇的原则。结合句子记单词易懂，易记，还易应用。要尊重记忆规律，反复是关键。最好选一种英汉双解词典做自己的良师益友，遇有词汇方面的疑问，不要等待教师的解答，自己找词典求得答案。经常使用词典，就会越用越熟练，而且能学会根据上下文找到恰当的释义。

2，自主学习，善借他力。

学习的最高境界就是自主学习。初中时，总是靠老师、家长督促才不得不学。到了高中以后，很多同学都有了自己的人生目标，学习目的也更加明确。知道自己今天该做什么，明天该做什么，而不是盲目地四处出击，临时应付。

3，听力模仿，敢于表达。

加强语音训练。要借助录音机、复读机，模仿语音语调，利用早读时间大声朗读甚至背诵。任何时候起步都不晚。要知道树立信心的过程就是不断犯错的过程。要勇于犯错，才能提高。坚持每天听英语半小时，可以适当做些听力练习。

经过一段时间训练后，调整听力材料的难度。尽量多渠道、多方位地练习听，目的是练“耳感”。既要精听，更要泛听，两者相结合。说英语一不要怕犯错误，二不要怕别人笑话。要争取一切机会讲英语，和外国人讲，和同学讲，实在没办法的时候和自己讲甚至对着桌子讲。
