We set off early for a distant water hole.A huge elephant covered with dry mud, drank calmly and deeply. He might have traveled 50 km to reach the water.He wasnt going to hurry now.Hed drink a while and rest in the shade, and then drink again or so we thought.What actually happened was that he drank deeply and stepped away.Then he suddenly fell down.Within minutes he was dead.We called animal doctor Jeremiah Poghon immediately.He removed the head of a poisoned arrow from the elephants body, and let out over 100 liters of pus (脓)the result of the elephants meeting with a poacher (偷猎者) months before.Todays poacher shoots from a blind.He fires an arrow, covered with poison, into the body of an elephant.If the poacher is lucky, the elephant might die in an hour or two; if not, he might have to follow the elephant for days before it dies.Often the arrow head fails to kill the elephant at onceit doesnt mean the poison wont finally kill the elephant, but it will be a slow death.Living in Tsavo through these times, I could see the results of poaching from time to time.When I think about the death of that elephant, what stays with me is the extraordinary silence after the shocking sound of his body hitting the ground.I took some fort from the knowledge that as the dead body returned to the soil, some animals would benefitbut I couldnt escape the feeling that with the death of such a large animal, the world seemed to be a poorer and emptier place.14While filming near the water hole, the author and his team_.Aknew the elephant was injuredBfound the elephant acted violentlyCtried their best to save the elephantDthought the elephant was in good condition15Further examination showed that the dead elephant_.Ahad suffered an hour or twoBwas killed by a poisonous needleChad suffered a lotDhad had a good fight with a poacher16How does the author feel when thinking about the elephants death？_AEmpty.Bfortable. CUpset. DRelieved.17Why did the author write the text？_ATo introduce African elephant.BTo show the cruelty of poaching.CTo describe his filming experience.DTo ask readers to protect wild animals.CAs we discussed last week, there have been a lot of reports that boys are in trouble in American education. Some people say efforts to improve education for girls, especially in math and science, have resulted in a crisis for boys. That belief has led to what a new report calls a growth industry of experts advising how to make schools more “boy friendly”Yet that report, released this week, suggests that the truth is far different from what people might think.It says American boys in most cases are doing better than ever.“But girls have just improved their performance on some measures even faster，” it says. As a result, girls have narrowed or closed differences with boys in some areas and moved farther ahead of them in others.The report does agree that some groups of boys are in trouble. It says this is true especially of blacks and those from poor families. But it says closing racial and economic differences would help them more than reducing differences between boys and girls.Another concern is the large number of boys with learning and emotional disabilities. Also, the report says policymakers now recognize the need to reform public high schools, which should help boys as well as girls. But the report questions what it calls “simplistic” proposals to fix problems for boys in American school. One example given is expanding single sex schooling. Findings on the success of the idea have differed.The Education Sector report calls for more study into the differences between boys and girls and into the culture of schools. It says the research will help better understand why gains for boys are not rising as fast as for girls. But the report also advises the public not to worry too much, and to be careful not to harm the gains that girls have made.18We can read this report most probably in a _.Amagazine for boys Bwell known newspaperCschool announcement Dschool advertisement19From Paragraph 1, we learn that in some peoples opinion, _.Aefforts for American girls cause boys troubleBAmerican education does no good to boysCAmerican schools are more “girl friendly”DAmerican boys are not really in trouble20We can infer from the report that _.Aboys should be responsible for their crisisBsome groups of boys are actually in troubleCpolicymakers disagree to reform public high schoolsDits probably not good simply to expand single sex schools21The best title for the passage should be “_”AA Report on a Boy Crisis in AmericaBA New Study on American EducationCSave American Boys in TroubleDWhy Are Girls Far Better Than Boys?DA woman was in a hurry to go to the airport. She told the cab driver to drive quickly. She was so absorbed in her own thoughts that she was not aware they were going by a different route.Suddenly，a man got inside the cab. He took her handbag where she had placed her visa，passport，and all her money for the trip.The driver，who was in cahoots with the robber，left her in the middle of that dark street.She cursed(诅咒) the world for being so mean to her，and thought how unlucky she was in that situation. That very same night，she heard some shocking news. Tears flowed down her face. Flight 230，which was the plane that she was supposed to have boarded，had crashed. If she had not lost her precious belongings，she could have lost something far more importanther life.Sometimes bad things really happen. There are times when nothing seems to go our way. So what should we do about it？We must get rid of all these frustrations and start all over again in the faith that we will get what we deserve. Dont waste your time and energy on things that cant be changed. Continuous worrying will only affect your health and youll be doing much more damage than what was previously done.What if it was the other way round？What if we never ran out of good luck?There was a man who won the lottery. He became greedy and wasted all his money on everything he could get his hands on. But when he one day made it to the front page of the newspaper again，it was a different story. He had been killed because of his riches.If you attain good luck，you can never be too secure about it. Life is so unpredictable. You never know what will happen next.Live one day at a time. We sometimes subject ourselves to unnecessary emotional trouble.Live for the moment. Do what must be done for the present and the future will turn out just fine. Believe me. And believe in yourself. As Captain Planet always says，“The power is yours！”22The underlined phrase “in cahoots with” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_”. Aforced by Bfighting bravely withCin cooperation with Dtrying to beg23From the passage，we learn that _. Athe woman was lucky to miss her flightBsome people just never run out of good luckCrobbers will get what they deserveDif you feel yourself lucky，you will continue to be so24According to the passage，what attitude should we adopt towards life？_ADont waste your time and energy because time is limited.BTheres no need to worry or get frustrated. Just believe in yourself.CEven when everything seems to be going well，we should keep fully alert.DWorrying about what you dont have means you miss out on opportunities for other things.25The two stories are intended to tell us _. Afortune only favors the prepared mindBgains and losses go hand in handCmisfortune might be a blessingDwe should save up for a rainy day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。Isadora DuncanIn the early 1900s the dancer Isadora Duncan created a new form of dance.
