The purpose of the exercise is to teach orderly, obedient( 顺 从 的 ) behavior to the rangers and their dogs. Commander Monwametsi, a retired crime investigator, directs I5 workers from Botswanas Department of Wildlife and National Parks.After they complete the training, the rangers will set up their countrys first canine( 狗 的 ) force to fight the killing and trade of endangered wildlife. Botswana is home to the largest remaining population of elephants in Africa. Monwametsi says the trained dogs are the best partners in fighting illegal hunting. Dog are effective because of their good sense of smell in terms of managing the different smells,” he says.Ali Dady, an immigration officer from Tanzania says that countries ought to cooperate to stop the illegal wildlife trade. He says people should look at endangered animals as something that needs to be protected. Wildlife, as a natural resource, is a gift from God and needs to be well-managed so as to contribute to the economy, Dady says. He adds that if people keep killing the animals, it will mean a drop in the number of people visiting Botswana. It will also affect our earnings. he says.On a recent day, Philip Muruthi, the lead scientist in species protection at AWF, was shown how the trained dogs react to forbidden wildlife goods. He noted how carefully the animals carried out searches. He says wildlife plays an important part in the ecosystems of the environment. The ecosystems in which endangered wildlife occurs provide water, clean air and these species are part of the health of that ecosystem. He adds that people need the animals, and their killing must be stopped.24. Whats the purpose of setting up a group of rangers and dogs?A. To teach them to guard the forest orderly. B.

What is the best title for the text?A. The Rangers Responsibility in BotswanaB. The Cooperation between Rangers and DogsC. Botswana Turns to Trained Dogs to Protect WildlifeD. New Measures that Botswana Has Taken to Protect WildlifeCThe production of coffee beans is a huge, profitable business, but, unfortunately, full-sun production is taking over the industry and bringing about a lot of damage. The change in how coffee is grown from shade-grown production to full-sun production endangers the very existence of certain animals and birds, and even disturbs the worlds ecological balance.On a local level ，the damage of the forest required by full-sun fields affects the areas birdsand animals. The shade of the forest trees provides a home for birds and other species that dependon the trees flowers and fruits. Full-sun coffee growers destroy this forest home. As a result，many species are quickly dying out.On a more global level, the destruction of the rainforest for full-sun coffee fields also threatens human life. Medical research often makes use of the forests plant and animal life，and the destruction of such species could prevent researchers from finding cures for certain diseases. In addition, new coffee-growing techniques are poisoning the water locally, and eventually the worlds groundwater.Both locally and globally, the continued spread of full-sun coffee plantations(种植园) could mean the destruction of the rainforest ecology. The loss of shade trees is already causing a slight change in the worlds climate，and studies show that the loss of oxygen-giving trees also leads to air pollution and global warming. Moreover ， the new growing techniques are contributing to acidic(酸性的) soil conditions.It is obvious that the way much coffee is grown affects many aspects of life，from the local environment to the global ecology. But consumers do have a choice. They can purchase shade-grown coffee whenever possible，although at a higher cost. The future health of the planet and mankind is surely worth more than an inexpensive cup of coffee.28. What can we learn about full-sun coffee production from Paragraph 4?A. It limits the spread of new growing techniques. B. It has a bad effect on local and global ecology. C. It slows down the loss of shade trees.D. It improves local soil conditions.29. The purpose of the writer writing the text is to A. entertainB. advertiseC. instructD. persuade30. Where does this text probably come from?A. An agricultural magazine.B. A medical journal. C. An engineering textbook. D. A tourist guide.31. Which of the following shows the structure of the whole text?A. B. C. D.(P = Paragraph)DTony Stark, or Ironman, constantly sees floating displays projected( 投射) in mid-air from his phone. Unfortunately, the rest of us are not as fortunate because the current holograms(全息照片) are too large to be put into our phones. However, if a team of researchers is right, we may all soon be able to mimic Ironman, at least, when it comes to playing with 3D holograms.To create a hologram, a single laser beam( 激光束) is divided into two similar beams with the help of a special device. One is shone directly into a regular photo film, while the second is reflected off the object intended to be transformed into a hologram. When the two laser beams meet, they create a special pattern. It is this pattern that is recorded on to the film to create the 3D illusion( 错 觉 ). However, current hologram technology is somewhat limiting, given that the material on which the light is recorded, has to have the same thickness as the lights wavelength. As a result, it is too thick to be put into personal devices.To get over this difficulty, the scientists used a special skill. This allows light to travel quickly through the surface and slow down as it goes through the center. This causes the light in the lower layer to keep reflecting off the surfaces, producing what is necessary to form a hologram.Dr Zengyi Yue, the co-author of the study, says, The next stage for this research will be developing a thin film that could be laid onto an LCD screen to enable 3D holographic display.”The team expects that once ready, 3D holograms could be used for a wide variety of applications, including medical examinations, education, defense, and Internet security. Theinvention has the potential to quite change the way we look at technology we could soon besaying hello with a hologram!32. What does the underlined word “mimic” in paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Show respect for.B. Make friends with.C. Fight against.D. Follow ones example.33. What stops scientists creating holograms?A. The film is too thick.B. The phone is too large.C. A laser beam is too thin.D. The light cant be recorded.34. To form a hologram, the light should .A. travel in every directionB. travel at different speedC. be divided into many beamsD. be reflected in all directions35. What is the text mainly about?A. Smartphone and 3D films.B. A new kind of smartphone.C. Human beings and Tony Stark.D. The 3D holograms technology. 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。People who talked briefly with a cashier in a coffee shop felt happier than those who simply went in, ordered and left. However, some people are not good at small talk. 36 Here are some tips to improve your small-talking ability. 37 If you have seen a really good movie or have read a really good book, you can talk about that. You can talk about something that you recently learned. When you are sharing the same experience with some one, its easy to start a conversation. You simply notice and comment on whats going on around you.Ask open-ended questions.If you ask questions that need more details to answer, the conversation will go on longer. For example, if you are at a summer pool party, dont ask a person if they like summer. 38 So, instead of getting a one-word answer, you might have the chance to share in a memory.Become a student.Nobody knows everything. So, as someone is answering one of your open-ended questions, they bring up something about which you know nothing. So, tell them! This lets the other person become the teacher. 39 Its a win-win situation.Dont ask “So, what do you do?”Some people do not like their jobs. So, instead of asking What do you do for a living?”, ask something like, “So, what have you been doing these days?” or “So, what have you been up to?” One general question can lead to an opportunity to share something you have in common. So, ask people about their families, their passions, their ambitions or even their fears. 40 .A. Small talk could help build healthy work relationships.B. Making small talk doesnt have to be either awkward or boring. C. Instead, ask them what they like or dislike about summer.D. They feel good about sharing their knowledge and you get to learn something. E. Getting good at making small talk takes practice.F. Have some conversation starters ready.G. However, balance these questions with comments about yourself.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四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出可以填入空白处 的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Last week the electricity in my flat went out.
