【題目】 The story of Sindhutai Sapkal is the story of rebirth and the love of children who nobody else wanted. The 68-year-old woman has raised over 1,400 orphans (孤兒), offering them not just food and shelter, but also the love of a real family. Her amazing work has earned her over 750 awards, and the nickname "Mother of Orphans".

Sindhutai Sapkal's work was inspired by her own hardships growing up.

To support herself and her newborn daughter, Sapkal had to beg and sing at train stations for food. It was during these difficult times that she met many other abandoned youths who were struggling just like she was. She would share her food with them and provide as much care as she could. Some of them started following her around，and that, she says, is how her large family started to form without her even realizing.

Over the last 40 years, Sindhutai Sapkal has traveled to countless villages, giving speeches until her throat was dry, trying to collect donations to provide a better life for her adopted children. She managed to build four orphanages, where many abandoned children have grown into respectable members of society. She makes it her duty to keep the kids on the right path in life and offer them the love and care of a real family.

"I was raised believing that blood relations don't really mean much. For me, my understanding of a home was based on what I had seen-my mother and her large family," Sindhutai's daughter, Mamata, says. "After completing my degrees, I have been working with Mai(mother)."

【題目】 Facebook is a place where we share and celebrate memories with our friends and family. We post words and pictures honoring birthdays, anniversaries and weddings. We also show respect to the people we lost, and find sympathy and support among our friends.

Square dancing has been more and more popular with the elderly as their living conditions improve. Most people thought it can help people take regularly exercise and improve their fitness. Besides, it provides people more chances to take activities outdoor. However, some people argue that the music is very noisy, that disturbs the surrounding citizens’ normal life. Also, be exposed to such loud noise may do a harm to their health in the long run.

In my opinion, square dancing is a good form of exercise, so dancers should take our neighbors’ needs into consideration. If they choose a right time and turn down the music, it will cause less troubles for others.

【題目】 The number of snow geese arriving in the Arctic each spring to breed has risen over the past few decades. At first, wildlife biologists saw this as an environmental crisis, pointing to marshes（沼澤地）where plants were eaten by the hungry birds, and the federal government responded by loosening restrictions on snow goose hunting across the country. But how do the Inuit（因紐特人），in whose backyard this is taking place, and for whom fresh goose eggs and meat are among the pleasure of an Arctic spring, view the situation? A recent study is bringing Inuit wildlife experts and scientists together to look for common ground on managing the species.

The snow goose study asked experts in Coral Harbour and Arviat, on the north and west coast of Hudson Bay, to share their generations of knowledge about snow geese and their views on what should be done. “ The community had concerns about controlling the population," says Ron Ningeongan, a community officer for the Kivalliq Inuit Association in Coral Harbour, "and Inuit snow goose knowledge had never been recorded. People wanted to pass on what they knew. "

The Inuit experts rejected the idea of a cull(選擇性宰殺），considering it wasteful of the geese and unnecessary for the environment in general, but felt that hunting more geese in an organized way—for instance, paying local hunters a minimum amount of money and distributing the birds to disadvantaged families or operating a limited commercial hunt that would employ local people—would be appropriate.

The Inuit say that while there may be too many snow geese in some areas, it's not a crisis. Biologists now generally agree that there seem to be plenty of undamaged marshes available and newer research shows that some damaged areas can recover.

Conservation planners for the three migratory bird reserves in the area will use the study's recommendations, which is an excellent example of how indigenous （土著的） knowledge can strengthen wildlife management Johnson says.

“Now that we have recorded and documented Inuit knowledge of snow geese," says Ningeongan. "when facing the crisis again, other people will be able to use the information to help manage the species, which is fundamental to dealing with it effectively. ”

【1】Why did the federal government looben restrictions on snow goose hunting?

A.To create more marshes.B.To protect ecosystem.

C.To make more profits.D.To wipe out the hungry birds.

【2】Which of the following might Inuit wildlife experts agree on?

A.Regarding too many snow geese as a crisis.

B.Never organizing large-scale commercial hunts.

C.Employing poor families to hunt more snow geese.

D.Using snow goose hunting to man's best advantage.

【3】What do biologists think about the marshes' future at present?

A.It's unpredictable.B.It’s hard to get better.

C.It's too discouraging.D.lt's a bit promising.

【4】What does the underlined word “it" in the last paragraph refer to?

A.The crisis.B.The species.

C.Inuit knowledge.D.Inuit research.

【題目】閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)所給情節(jié)進行續(xù)寫，使之構成一個完整的故事。

Marmi, my big sister, was eagerly looking for a pup(小狗) to look after and love all her life, so she would ask Mummy many times for a pup of her own, but the answer was always no. You see, my mum is not very fond of dogs, never has been, and always says they're too big a responsibility. She's just not a dog person. Well, that didn't stop my sister from looking or hoping for a dog. She used to search online for her favourite breed(品種). Until one day Marni found some Cavapoo pups advertised for sale. She immediately showed Mummy and begged to go and see them. Not sure how my sister persuaded her, but to our surprise, Mummy said we could go and have a look at them but not to get high hopes. Marni rushed everyone in the car before Mummy changed her mind. Off we sped to the advertised breeder's house which luckily wasn't too far. We got to the house and I bet I could hear my sister's heart dancing with excitement. As we rang the doorbell, we could hear cute little barks coming from inside. We went in and saw lots of little black pups excitedly jumping around. There were other people there too, so we needed to choose one fast if you know what I mean. It was rather crowded but the breeder let us hold and cuddle(摟抱) the pups. The breeder handed a little confident pup to Marni. The little pup seemed an old friend with my sister. But after a lot of cuddles, Mummy said we had to go and would have to think about it.
