After following about 25 endangered black monkeys in the forest, Slater set up his camera. The monkeys went up to it, and were attracted by it immediately. Finally, they began playing with the camera and took photos of themselves. One monkey took many photos, some of which appeared with a July 2011 Daily Mail article about Slater playing with the monkeys. One of the photos became the cover of a book of Slaters work. Wildlife Personalities, which was published in 2014 by Blurb, Inc., in San Francisco. Slater is considered as the copyright (版权) owner of the photos.In September 2015, however, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) considered the monkey it calls Naruto as the copyright owner of the photos. Through his “friends” at PETA, Naruto was suing (控诉) the photographer and the publishing company Blurb for copyright: “The photos resulted from the purposeful actions of Naruto and were not helped by Slater, resulting in works of authorship by Naruto.”“If a human had taken a photo with Slaters camera, that person would own the copyright to the photo,” says Jeff Kerr o PETA. “Naruto should be treated no differently.” The lawyer for Slater and Blurb, Andrew Dhuey, required that the case be dismissed (被驳回) in November 2015. Dhuey mentioned a 2004 case in which the court had to decide whether whales could sue the US Navy for the danger theyd received from machines used by the Navy. The court ruled that they could not.In January, the court ruled in favor of dismissing the case. PETA lawyer Jeff Kerr objected, “We believe it has been stated clearly in the Copyright Act.

Slater should pay some money to PETTA.CEasy to make and cheap to buy, instant noodles have long been Chinas, ultimate convenience food.Since it was a snack for students, a meal on the train, or just the go-to choice for hungry workers, more than 46.2 billion packets were sold in China in 2013. But it seems this industry has gone off the boil. By 2016 those sales had declined to 38.5 billion, according to the World Instant Noodle Association, a drop of almost 17%.“This phenomenon shows an unnoticeable while continuous change in Chinas consumption (消费) patterns,” said Zhao Ping of the Academy of China Council for the Promotion of International Trade. He told the China Daily, “Consumers are more interested in life quality than just filling their bellies these days.” About 730 million people in China now have access to the Internet according to government figures. And about 95% of those are using smart phones to connect. And apps that offer food delivery to your home, office or wherever you happen to be are a real fast- developing industry.Their menus are undoubtedly more expensive than a pot of instant noodles. But these meals can still be inexpensive, and arguably more tasty, depending on your favor.But put in the global background, China is still easily the biggest market for instant noodles. In fact, Chinas consumption was roughly equal to Indonesia, Japan, Vietnam, India, the US, South Korea and the Philippines combined.And that means global noodle manufacturers are unlikely to turn away from the Chinese market. Japans instant noodle business Nissin Foods, for example, is planning to land on the stock market, in Hong Kong, by which operation it hopes to raise about 145 million dollars. It is rare for a Japanese firm to list in Hong Kong, but Nissin is talking up its prospects in China, where it is already the fifth biggest brand.“Some consumers stopped consuming instant noodles, but most consumers want to increase the quality (of food they consume),” chief executive Kiyotaka Ando told CNBC last week.“We can supply high-quality products so we have more possibility to develop our business.”28. The phrase “go off the boil” in Paragraph 2 is close in meaning to .A. stop boilingB. turn downC. develop rapidlyD. get out of control29. According to the text, it is because of that people have more food choices.A. development of food manufacturing industryB. fall of price in foods beyond instant noodlesC. technological development on communicationD. peoples doubt on instant noodles food safety30. Which of the following descriptions is TRUE according to the text?A. China consumes more instant noodle than any other country does.B. China is beginning to lose its first place in instant noodle business.C. Nissin is the fifth biggest brand of Japans instant noodle business.D. Nissin is planning to build an instant noodle factory in Hong Kong.31. We can infer from the text that .A. Chinas instant noodle consumption will continue to dropB. Chinese people will favor cheaper instant noodles to save moneyC. instant noodles will have a pessimistic prospect in the futureD. instant noodle manufacturers will focus more on its food qualityDLack of inexpensive, reliable energy delivery is one of the chief barriers to growth and development in sub-Saharan Africa. Nearly seventy percent of people living in the region lack access to electricity, forcing them to spend significant amounts of their income on costly and unhealthy forms of energy such as diesel (柴油) fuel to run generators and kerosene (煤油) for lanterns.But if there is one thing Africa is not lacking, it is sunshine. And that means a lot; indeed, for some of the worlds poorest people, it makes all the difference in the world.A little more than a year ago, Power Africa a U.S. Government initiative (倡议) coordinated by the U. S. Agency for International Development, or USAID and Power Africas partners, the United Kingdom Department for International Development, Shell Foundation, and the African Development Bank, started the Scaling Off-Grid Energy Grand Challenge for .Development, with a focus on pay-as-you-go solar home systems. The Challenges goal is to provide 20 million off-grid (离网) households in sub-Saharan Africa with clean, affordable electricity by 2030. So far, the Challenge has made 40-plus investments in early-stage, off-grid energy companies, which are expected to result in some 4.8 million new electrical connections.One reason for the success of the, start-up companies that have won grants (资助) from the Challenge is the fact that the cost of solar technology is falling fast, so it is within the means of those who live away from traditional power grids. And thanks to the new system of mobile money and pay-as-you-go financing, they can purchase the solar power-generating equipment they need and pay for it in daily installments (分期付款) from their telephones, for as little as 15 cents a day.Thanks to these technological and financial innovations (创新), many people are getting electricity for the first time every day. In these newly-electrified communities, businesses can boom, clinics can safely store vaccines and students may study long after dark. Indeed, access to clean and reliable electricity can enable entire communities to escape the cycle of extreme poverty.32. What is the main problem people in sub-Saharan Africa are faced with, according to Paragraph 1?A. They are lack of electricity.B. They are lack of diesel fuel and kerosene.C. They are lack of money.D. They are lack of sunshine.33. Whats the aim of Power Africa?A. To make people richer.B. To make people healthier.C. To provide people with clean food and water.D.

They live away from traditional power grids.C. They can use the new system of mobile money and pay-as-you-go financing.D. They can pay for the equipment in daily low installments. 35. The text is especially helpful for those who care about .A. Agriculture.B. Environment.C. Technology.D. Education.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 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。Should We Create More National Parks to Save Endangered Animals?Dont you find it worrying that more and more species of animals are in real danger of becoming extinct? 36 And I think the best way to do this is for governments to create more national parks. 37 If this environment is destroyed for example, when farmers clear a forest for new fields, or trees are cut down for making money many animals are unable to survive, and more species are likely to become extinct.In addition, national parks protect animals from the danger of being hunted. A major reason why many species are endangered is that the animals are killed by hunters. They hunt animals to make money. 38 On the other hand, some people fight against the creation of national parks because they consider it wrong to interfere with nature. They believe that wild animals are happier living in their natural environment. 39 They also point out that a few species are more likely to produce young animals in the wild than in national parks.All in all, though, these disadvantages are far less important than the benefits of national parks. 40 As a matter of fact, they protect animals from their greatest enemies, that is, human beings.A. They say though the animals may face danger, they enjoy a free life.B. Firstly, national parks protect the animals1 natural environment.C. To begin with, animals are important to humans.D. I personally believe that we must save these animals.E. There is a heated discussion about whether to create more national parks.F. These parks allow animals to live in a safe environment.G. Some hunters even hunt animals simply for sport. 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。From a young age, I was taught to be kind to people around.
