It is a pretty island that has many mountains and a pleasant climate. The people of Bali were happy and gay and had a peaceful life. They were not allowed to fight. At one time there had been terrible wars in Bali. Then the people decided it was wrong to fight or have wars.

I didnt know what to expect, so when I saw my first tiger in the wild, I was shocked. What a beautiful and powerful creature it is! But they live with a price on their heads a single tiger skin is worth up to 8,000, and their bones possibly more. Another problem is that farmers need to clear a large number of areas of the forest for their cattle. This means deer are losing their living places. As a result, tigers are losing their natural prey, so they end up eating the cattle. Tigers are not easy to live close to. I met a farmer who had been mauled by one. But despite (尽管) that, he told me everything had its place in the world and he had no right to kill the tiger. He was really kind. Those who work for the Tigers Forever Project realize that to ensure their survival, tigers dont only need space. They need space away from people. They are working to stop the conflict (冲突) between tigers and people by separating them. I visited a new town. People had been moved to it from a settlement in the forest. And it really has worked. It has given tigers a better life and better opportunities for the children of the resettled people. Only 2,500 tigers are now left in the wild in India. Three out of eight tiger sub-species have already disappeared. Tigers that once lived across Asia only survive in 7% of their original living places now. 5.

A. there are only 2,500 tigers in the wild in IndiaB. tigers need space far from peopleC. if we dont protect tigers in Asia, they will die out thereD. children are happy to live far from tigers8. Whats the best title of the passage?A. Expensive tigers. B. More space for tigers. C. Tigers and cattle. D. A kind-hearted farmer. 参考答案5-8 BDCB CAttractions in WisconsinWisconsin Historical Museum30 N.

Her pose was somehow strange- she knelt (跪) on the ground like a person who was worshiping (祷告)；her body was leaning forward, and her two hands were supported by an object. However, the cold and stiff body told them that she had passed away for sure.The rescuers left this house and were going to search the next collapsed (倒塌的) building. For some reason, the team leader was driven by a strange force to go back to the ruined house. Again, he knelt down to search the little space under the dead body. Suddenly, he screamed with excitement, “ A child! There is a child!”The whole team worked together; carefully they removed the piles of ruined objects around the dead woman. There was a 3-month-old little boy wrapped in a blanket under his mothers dead body. Obviously, the woman had made great sacrifice in order to save her son. When her house was falling, she used her body to make a cover to protect her son. The little boy was still sleeping peacefully when the team leader picked him up.A doctor came quickly to examine the little boy. After he opened the blanket, he saw a cellphone inside the blanket. There was a text message on the screen. It said, “ If you can survive, you must remember that I love you.” Everybody that read the message cried.13. Why did the young woman kneel on the ground? A. To protect herself from the earthquake. B. To show respect for God. C. To ask God for help. D. To protect her baby.14. After reading the text message, everyone felt quite _. A. shocked B. excited C. moved D. afraid15. Whats the writers purpose in writing this passage? A. To prove that a cat has nine lives. B. To show the power of a mothers love. C. To express his thanks to the rescuers. D. To give advice on how to rescue others.参考答案13-15 DCB
