    The poaching (偷猎)，or illegal killing，of rhinos(犀牛) in South Africa is growing worse each year．The government recently reported that a record number of rhinos were poached in 2015，a year which had more rhino killings in South Africa than ever before．

    The World Wildlife Fund，or WWF，says about 20, 000 rhinos live in South Africa． That is more than 80 percent of the rhinos in the world． Edna Molewa， South Africa’s Environment Minister，says, “During 2015，we are sad to say this，1, 215 rhinos were killed．This is a rise in the number of poached rhinos from 1,004 in 2014 and indeed very worrying.”

    The animals are hunted for their horns(角)．Many people in Asia believe the horn has curing power， which drives poachers， at all costs， mad for more horns． But there is no scientific evidence for this belief．The horn is made of keratin(角蛋白)．That is the same thing as human hair，fingernails and toenails．

    Ms．Molewa said 386 suspected poachers were arrested last year，an increase from the year before．But rhino protection workers say poachers often go unpunished after arrest． South Africa’s legal system is ineffective． Ms． Mo1ewa said more needs to be done and South Africa is taking strong measures to protect rhinos．The efforts include moving some of the animals to secret places in neighboring countries. “Now approximately 100 rhinos have been moved to neighboring states in the SADC region during 2015 and 200 more rhinos will be moved this year,” Molewa said.

    Jo Shaw，the rhino program manager at the WWF，said，“We’re talking about a loss of a hundred rhinos a month，or more than three a day．We really need to see effective action not just at a national level but internationally．” She says officials should find the criminal groups responsible for the poaching and punish them. Government officials are to meet in Botswana in March at the Inter-governmental Conference on Illegal Wildlife Trade．

    1.According to paragraph 2, we know ________.

    A．half of rhinos live in South Africa

    B．less than 1,000 rhinos were killed in 2014

    C．the killing reached the highest point in 2014

    D．there are only 20,000 rhinos left in the world

    2.What is the main reason for people to hunt rhinos?

    A．To get more keratin． B．To protect the farmland．

    C．To use them for decoration． D．To make money from horns.

    3.Jo Shaw thinks that ________.

    A．many criminal groups are well organized

    B．new laws are needed to punish the killers

    C．rhino protection needs international cooperation

    D．conferences about protecting rhinos are to be held every year

    4.What can we infer from the text?

    A．Rhino protection has a long way to go.

    B．No one would like to buy horns in the future.

    C．The illegal killing of rhinos will soon disappear.

    D．Rhinos living in South Africa will move to other countries.

    Borrowing to start a business is not easy. Getting a bank loan, particularly for a new small business, is like going through the eye of a needle.

    Banks favor established-business people with a solid credit rating and a large bank account. They should also have experience in the business they propose to enter, and offer well-prepared business plans that show the ability to repay the loans. If you are not such a person, then you need to double your preparations to convince the banker to lend you that much needed start-up capital（资金）. If your business is new and small, bankers will need to know as much as possible about you and your business.

    However, many small business owners often make the mistake of not being well prepared when going to the bank to apply for the loan. Surprisingly, many loan applicants don't even have the slightest idea how or when they intend to repay the money they request. Often they don't even know how much money they need. When asked how much money they want to borrow, many people give these two common responses: “How much money can I get?” and “As much as possible.” Is it any wonder that lenders say no?

    So the most important thing is do your homework before you ask for a loan.

    1.By saying “Getting a bank loan.., is like going through the eye of a needle”, the writer emphasizes______.

    A. the ability to borrow from a bank

    B. the importance of borrowing money

    C. the difficulty of getting a bank loan

    D. the start-up of a new small business

    2.Banks prefer to give a loan to those who ______.

    A. are in need of start-up capital

    B. have the ability to pay it back

    C. own an old and large business

    D. haven't borrowed money before

    3.Some small businesses fail to get a bank loan because ______.

    A. the form they fill in is incomplete

    B. their products are not technically advanced

    C. the amount of money they want to borrow is too big

    D. they have no clear idea of how much they need to borrow

    4.The writer advises that before applying for a bank loan, the applicant should ____.

    A. thoroughly prepare

    B. do some market research

    C. learn a lot about the bank

    D. know the upper limit of the loans

    请阅读下面文字.并按要求写一篇150词左右的文章。

    When you are paying upwards of £15,000 a year to have your child privately educated, the big sum of money for extra tuition(学费) may not sit well with you. But that is exactly what seems to be happening. An increasing number of parents look to "top-up" their child's already expensive education with a private tutor.

    According to managing director Nevil Chiles of Kensington&Chelsea Tutors, the agency's students tend to fall into two groups. There are those who are struggling with a particular subject and benefit from one-to-one tuition. The second group consists of students who are already excellent but whose parents want to ensure they go on to their preferred school or university.

    "We felt Mica needed help with exam technique and we also realized that she did much better one-to-one than in a classroom," explains Bowman, who contacted Kensington & Chelsea Tutors on the advice of a friend who used them for her sons, including one who was attending Eton."Mica has established a good relationship with her tutors and has gained confidence as a result of the tutoring." adds Bowman.
