【题目】Kenya is losing an average of 100 of its 2,000 lions each year because of growing human settlements, increasing farming, climate change and diseases，according to the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS).

“ Lions have a special place in Kenyans’life，” said Paul Udoto，a spokesman for the organization. “ Other than being the symbol of national strength, they are among the Big Five, a main attraction for visitors to Kenya. ”

There were 2,749 lions in Kenya in 2002 and Uieir population dropped to 2,280 by 2004 and to about 2,000 today, according to KWS figures.

“The fall of the lion population is worrying and every effort needs to be made to make sure that Kenya either protects its population of 2, 000 lions at present or increases the numbers to an ecologically acceptable level,” said Mr. Udoto.

“There is no doubt that the numbers are in free fall. I’ d be surprised if they even last as long as 20 years，” said Laurence Frank, project director of Living With Lions, a Kenya-based animal protection organization i When I first came here 30 years ago，I would always hear lions roaring across the land at night and see their tracks in the morning. Now that is very rare.

“The reason is simple。As the numbers of people grow and the numbers of cows increase they take up much of the lion’s space. Alongside that there are other ways, including poisoning 9 to kill lions. ”

Animal lovers are making a new strategy to save the animals. Part of the measures will include lions fitted with radio collars in the Amboseli area in southern Kenya, close to the border with Tanzania.

Wildlife officials in Tanzania face similar challenges in protecting their lions, but there is far less human encroachment (侵入）on the animals’ homeland there than in Kenya,

【1】What is the main reason of Kenya appreciating lions’ existence?

A. lions are the symbol of the national strength.

B. Lions are among the most endangered animals.

C. Lions are a subject of great concern to Kenyans.

D. Lions are the major appeal for foreign tourists.

【2】What does Laurence Frank mean by saying “they even last as long as 20 years ”?

A. It is alarming that the number of lions is declining at a high speed.

B. It is amazing that he has tolerated the decline for such a long time.

C. It is fascinating that many evidences have proven the decline trend,

D.It is surprising that a lion should live as long as twenty years in Kenya.

【3】In which aspect does the striking difference between Kenya and Tanzania in lion protection lie?

A.Climate changes.

B.Increasingly fanning.

C.Natural disasters*

D.Outbreaks of epidemics (流行病）.

The Meaning of Dreams

Sleep and dreams have interested people for centuries. Scientists are learning more about sleep, but they still know very little about why we dream.

【1】 First, we have most of our dreams during REM(rapid eye movement)sleep. At this time, the brain is very active. Second, everyone dreams, even if we can't remember doing so when we awaken. 【2】 While we are sleep, it works more slowly and sometimes puts our thoughts and memories together in strange ways.

【3】 . Some believe that our dreams are associated with thoughts and feelings that we experience while we are awake. Many dream researchers think that a dream about death, for example, is really about an important life change. 【4】 . Dreams about a car or travel often represent (代表) feelings about your own life. Dreams about teeth—especially broken or loose ones—may indicate（预示） stress or fear. Dreams in which you are flying often represent freedom or escape.

Researchers think people in our dreams can tell us something about ourselves. If the person in the dream was yelling, for example, maybe you are angry. 【5】 . There is still a lot about dreaming that we do not understand. By learning more about our dreams, we may learn more about ourselves.

A. Dreams may be more important than sleep.

B. Scientists do not know for certain why we dream.

【题目】The man sitting opposite Robert was the Financial Controller. Everybody called him “the FC” for short. He made all the decisions about money. Robert needed some more. That was why he had to see him. The two men did not get on very well. In fact, they had always disliked each other.

“Your request is out of the question,” the FC said. Robert had difficulty in controlling himself, but he managed somehow. He explained that he wanted the money in order to make more programmes.

“And why do you want to do that?” the FC asked sharply. Again, Robert almost lost his temper. “Because more and more people are listening to my department’s programmes. There’s great demand for them,” he answered.

The FC did not seem to believe him. But Robert had a report on the numbers of listeners to all EBC programmes. The FC became less confident (自信). Robert threw the report down on the table and told him to read it.

The FC looked at it in silence. The figures (数字) proved that he had been wrong, but he did not want to admit it. “Well,” he finally said, “I may have made a small mistake.” Robert noticed the word “may”. He got up to leave. But he had the feeling that he would get the money after all.

A. EBC programs. B. EBC money.

【题目】Here’s a new warning from health experts: sitting is deadly. Scientists are increasingly warning that sitting for long periods, even if you exercise regularly, could be bad for your health. And it doesn't matter where the sitting takes place--in the office, at school, in the car or before a computer or TV. Just the overall number of hours it takes matters. Several studies suggest people who spend most of their days sitting are more likely to be fat, have a heart attack or even die. While health officials have issued(发布) guidelines advising on the least amounts of physical activities, they haven’t suggested people try to limit how much time they spend in a seated position.

“After four hours of sitting, the body starts to send harmful signals,” said Ekblom-Bak of the Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences. She explained that genes controlling the amount of glucose(葡萄糖) and fat in the body start to shut down.

Even for people who exercise, spending long periods of time sitting at a desk is still harmful. Tim Armstrong, a physical activity expert at the World Health Organization, said people who exercise every day but still spend a lot of time sitting might get more benefits if that exercise were spread across the day, rather than in a single hour.

Still in a study that tracked more than 17,000 Canadians for about a dozen years, researchers found people who sat more had a higher death risk, whether they exercised or not. Experts said more research is needed to figure out just how much sitting is dangerous, and what might be possible to offset those effects.

People should keep exercising because that has a lot of benefits,” Ekblom-Bak said. “And when they’re in the office, they should try to interrupt sitting as often as possible.”

【1】The underlined word “offset" in Paragraph 6 most probably means_______.

A. get rid of B. make use of

C. work out D. turn to

【2】Sitting too much is dangerous because it can________ .

A. increase glucose and fat in the body

B. make a person become lazy

C. destroy the balance of glucose and fat in the body

D. make a person unable to exercise enough in a day

【3】In the opinion of Ekblom-Bak, when at work, you’d better have a rest by_______ .

A. taking a walk around your office

B. chatting online or playing computer games

C. sending your friends emails

D. listening to music while sitting

【4】Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?

A. More and More People Sit Too Much

B. Side Effects of Sitting Too Much

C. Don’t Sit Too Much While Working

D. Sitting Too Much Could Be Dangerous

Last summer I had a chance to visit Paris. That attracted me most was the Eiffel Tower, which is symbol of France. I was deep impressed by its height. I had never seen such a tall building ago! It is made up of iron, and it is about 11,500 tons heavy.

There are 1,711 steps from the bottom to the top. Climb the tower made me very tired, but I was very exciting. I take a lot of photos in Paris.

I have much memories and experiences to share. I am so lucky to have seen such a culture so different from my own. I will remember my trips to France forever!
