【題目】 Have you ever heard of spirit bears? They are endangered members of the black bear family. One in ten black bears is actually born with a spirit bear.

Clover, a three-year-old spirit bear, lives at B.C. Wildlife Park near Kamloops, British Columbias, Canada. He lost his parents two years ago and was raised at a wildlife center. When he was set free into the wild, he went into human camps looking for food. Wildlife experts tried to get him used to living on his own, but he continued to look for places where there were people. Finally the experts decided that he could not live in the wild. Since then, a total of $750000 has been collected to create a habitat for Clover.

The habitat covers about three acres(英畝) of land and includes natural forest, two ponds connected by a small river and something else. It will add a platform(站臺(tái)) and a walkway later this year so that people can see Clover and his habitat more closely. There will also be a center where people can learn more about spirit bears. Besides, a black bear will be moved into the habitat so Clover will not feel lonely.

Spirit bears are also called Kermode bears after Francis Kermode, who first studied them. Kermode discovered that a small number of black bears carry a gene for the white fur. If a baby bear receive one of these genes from each parent, its fur will be a creamy white color.

There are about 1200 bears who carry the gene for white fur, but only about 200 white spirit bears in the world. Kermode bears are found only in British Columbia.

【題目】 Recently, a biology teacher in Kansas --- a state in the American Midwest --- made national and even international news. After Christine Pelton discovered that 28 of her 118 students had plagiarized (剽竊,抄襲) parts of a major project, she gave them failing grades. Although this was the school policy, the students’ parents complained. The school board directed Ms. Pelton to change the punishment: 【1】 Ms. Pelton resigned in protest.

Why did this become such a significant story? 【2】 Although the incident may soon be forgotten, it raised some important questions: What is plagiarism? How serious is it? The simplest form of plagiarism occurs when someone copies material without giving credit to the source. 【3】

Some people claim that copying is necessary to do well in school. They have realized that their own words are not as good as someone else’s. 【4】 In fact, it has been learnt that even some highly respected figures, including Martin Luther King, Jr., have plagiarized.

Although some people find reasons to justify (證明…是正當(dāng)?shù)?/span>) plagiarism, others feel the issue is clear-cut: 【5】These people believe that students who plagiarize benefit unfairly. They receive a better grade than they deserve.

A. Another common argument is that everyone does it, so it’s not a big deal.

B. Perhaps it is because so many people feel strongly about what is right and wrong.

C. They feel it is morally (道德上) wrong, and consider it stealing--- a theft of ideas rather than money.

D. However, there are also more serious forms, such as when a student pays someone else to write an essay.

E. They told her that 600 points should be taken from the offenders, rather than the entire 1,800 points.

【題目】 A child's world is the world of playing. They love being outside in the open air, running after each other, and swinging on playground equipment.

But children at St. James Children's School also add to that fun by watching worms and picking up trash（垃圾） in the schoolyard. Inside, they learn to save water and electricity. They also recycle and reuse useful things. And every spring they get the soil ready to plant flowers and vegetables in the school’s garden.

Rebecca Boker teaches the children the importance of taking care of the Earth. "If children learn it early on, it will become part of their daily lives. It should be something that everyone does." said Boker “Every day at St. James is Earth Day. Most books in the classrooms and the library contain materials that encourage children to do something to protect the environment and the Earth.”

"This is their home. You are visitors in their home. So it is your job to respect their home just like you want others to respect your home and treat your home nicely."

At St. James, children observe（觀察） the growth of plants from seeds to flowers in cups kept in the classroom. Then they watch the plants grow after placing them in the garden. The students also observe the life of butterflies and other insects and learn about rain and sea life.

St. James also has a special rain garden when many recycled materials are used. For example, there are rugs（小地毯） made of recycled tires in all the classrooms.

But do these very young children really get the message that their teachers try to express? Ms. Boker says yes.

"Oh they do. They totally understand."

A.Children have most of their classes in the open air.

B.Its classrooms are all built with recycled materials.

【2】According to Mr Boker, _______.

A.it’s the duty of children to keep school clean

B.it takes time for children to get their teachers’ message

C.it’s easier for kids to form good habits at a young age

D.it’s the job of parents to teach kids how to recycle

【3】What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A.The knowledge about flowers.

B.The knowledge about vegetables.

C.The importance of protecting the Earth.

D.The importance of taking care of themselves.
