A group of police blocks off narrow streets with their cars. They move quietly,spot the target,and close in,taking a group of smugglers(走私販) by surprise. A few seconds later,the victims are discovered.
The location: a street market in the city of Sao Paulo,Brazil. The victims: birds,American lizards,and tortoises snatched(搶走) from the wild. The smugglers planned to sell them at the market.
“People who want to own a wild animal fbel the illegal wild animal trade,” says Juliana Machado Ferreira,a National Geographic explorer who works to fight the illegal wildlife trade. Removing too many animals from the wild upsets the balance of nature. aIf people truly love wildlife,they will want them to be free,” she says.
Each day illegally caught wild animals are carried thousands of miles to be sold as pets,food,or ingredients for traditional medicines. “Wildlife illegal trade is one of the largest illegal trades in the world,worth about 20 billion dollars a year,” says Matthew Pritchett of Freeland,an organization that fights the illegal wildlife trade. “The United States is one of the top three markets in the world for illegal wildlife products."
Smugglers use special ways to take the animals through airport security checks. But smart police use their own tricks to catch them. Read the following story.
How many finches — small singing birds — can you fit inside a purse? At least 25 ,as it turns out. When a woman from Guyana,a country in northeast South America,started acting nervously at JFK airport,U.S., customers and border protection agents x-rayed her bags. They found birds called seed finches stuffed inside hair curlers!The agent called FWS (Fish & Wildlife Service) officers to take the birds,which will live at a zoo. The woman,however,was singing a different song.

A. Police catching smugglers.
B. A game of hide-'and-seek.
C. Victims being found.
D. A scene of a movie.

35. What is the best title for the text?

科目:高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源: 題型:
Football players suffer more concussions(腦震蕩) than athletes in any other high school sport. Is this beloved game worth the risks — or should schools do away with it?
YES: Football is a dangerous sport.
Football is a cruel sport that can have lifelong consequences!When your brain is bashed(猛撞) against your skull,it never fully recover.In fact,scientists are learning that repeated concussions may lead to Alzheimer's disease,Parkinson's disease,and memory loss. We don't let teens ruin their lungs with cigarette smoke 一 so why do we allow them to damage their brains in the name of football?
Recently,Chris Borland,a promising young San Francisco 49ers player,quit after just one year,because of the risk to his health. That's a strong statement.
And just look at all the cases of violence in the NFL (National Football League) — clearly brain damage isn't the only problem!Football promotes a culture of violence that rewards aggressive behavior. This culture needs to be stopped.
一Vikram Chandramouli,a seventh-grade student from Illinois
NO: Banning football will not solve the problem.
I've seen field hockey(曲棍球) teammates get hit in the face with balls and struck in the head with sticks,so I know firsthand: Concussions do not discriminate among sports!Why take away one of the most popular pastimes,then? At many schools,football is the center of student life. Without it,there would be no school spirit.
I firmly believe that banning football will not solve the concussion problem. Bringing awareness to this issue — so that coaches and players understand how to prevent injuries and provide proper treatment if they occur — just might.
Sports safety needs to be taught at the beginning of each season,so students understand the risks of playing with symptoms of a brain injury. And that goes for all teams,not just football.
—Amanda Vigdor,a high school senior from New Jersey
29. Chris Borland is mentioned.
A. to show how important football is
B. because he is crazy about football
C. to prove that football is too dangerous
D. because he is suffering from many diseases
30. From Vikram's point of view,football.
A. can ruin players’ lungs completely
B. is bad for the social environment
C. has some advantages
D. encourages smoking
31. What does the underlined part mean?
A. Brain damage can be caused by any sport.
B. Racial discrimination does not exist in sport.
C. Discrimination in sport can cause concussions.
D. Football encourages students to compete fairly.
32. What does Amanda stress in the last paragraph?
A. The advantages of playing football.
B. The importance of banning football.
C. The possibility of preventing injuries in sport.
D. The necessity of teaching students sports safety.

Question:
Hi,Carolyn. I am Amanda. My problem is with Stacy,my roommate of three years (we,re all 24) . When my other roommate,Joanna,and I have an issue (such as emptying the dishwasher) , we talk through it calmly and non-defensively,we apologize,and it's all good. Stacy becomes extremely defensive,gets worked up,and lashes(嚴(yán)厲斥責(zé)) back at us. What's more,she’ 11 never .bring up anything that bothers her. She keeps it all bottled up,and then occasionally will explode.
She's also super-competitive with us about everything,extremely judgmental and negative. She gets angry that I keep in contact with certain people she doesn't like. I don't let her control me. I do my own thing and generally feel sorry for her,but I'm finding it harder and harder to ignore her controlling nature.
We've been friends for six years now,and I've gotten to the point where I know this is terrible and I need to move out when my lease(租約) is up next year. I just need to figure out how to live with her in the meantime!I'm constantly living in fear of the next explosion.
Portland
Answer:
It's not only an exhausting way to live,but also completely counterproductive. There isn't much you can do about her; it's neither possible nor your place to re-raise her into someone comfortable with weaknesses in herself and others.
However,there is a lot you can do about yourself,just by opening up and backing off,which might also serve Stacy well if any kindness toward her is sincere. When she gets defensive,say: aHey,you're my friend and I love you. This really is just about dishes." When she turns things back on you,weigh whether she has a point and freely acknowledge when she does instead of getting defensive right away.
Try to be calm and warm. Give her defensiveness no fuel. If this doesn't repair the friendship,it will at least make you live in peace.
1. How is the relationship between Amanda and Joanna?
A. They get along well.
B. They are best friends.
C. They don't like each other.
D. They often quarrel with each other.
2. The underlined part “gets worked up” can be replaced by “ ”.
A. gets very busy B. gets very angry
C. becomes exhausted D. becomes humorous
3. What is bothering Amanda?
A. Stacy often ignores her.
B. Stacy always tries to control her.
C. Stacy doesn't empty the dishwasher.
D. Stacy makes friends with someone she dislikes.
4. Amanda plans to.
A. move out next year
B. let Stacy move out soon
C. make an apology to Stacy
D. talk to Stacy immediately
5. Carolyn advises Amanda to .
A. try to change Stacy

Summer survival guide
Finally ... the season of sun,fun,and freedom!36 Follow these steps to keep yourself healthy and safe.
Don’t rely on sunscreen. Yes,you need to slather(大量地涂抹) sunscreen on exposed skin,but other precautions are just as important. Seek shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., and protect your skin and face with clothing,a hat,and shades.
37 If you feel thirsty,you’re already dehydrated (脫水的) —that puts you at an increased risk of hot weather-related illnesses like heat exhaustion and heat stroke ( 中暑).
Know the signs of heat stroke. When it’s hot or humid,it becomes harder for your body to release the heat generated during exercise. If your core temperature becomes too high,heat stroke can set in. Avoid ending up in the emergency room by starting slower than normal,then gradually increasing the intensity of your workout over two full weeks. 38
Turn down the car radio. Here's a scary fact: 39 So cut out any distractions(分心的事物) while driving 一 from exciting music to texting — that can raise your risk of having an accident.
Learn these lifesaving swim moves. Drowning is the second-most-common cause of accidental injury or death in adolescents. 40 Stick to zones with a lifeguard present,never swim alone,and learn these simple swimming skills — even if you never plan on getting wet. 1. Turn yourself around in a flill circle while in the water. 2. Float on your back. 3. Tread(踩) water. 4. Swim 25 yards (the length of a standard swimming pool) .
A. Try to reduce the risk of brain injury.
B. Float on your back if your arms get tired.
C. Don’t wait until you’ re thirsty to drink up.
D. Luckily,there are easy ways to cut this risk.
E. Try and aim to be back at your usual activity level by day 14.

I live in Minnesota,which is unfairly famous for terrible winters. Buffalo is far more wintry,whereas Seattle's winters are more bitter. Our winters tend to be brilliantly sunny and cheerful. But,of course,s different for a visitor.
Lightweight thermal (保暖的) wear is good. Back in the day,we wore layers and layers of heavy woolens. A boy of 13 carrying 35 pounds of wet wool on his back does not feel very cold. Today you can buy outfits filled with goose feathers as well as thermal boots and caps to keep you warm.
When I was a youth,there was no such phrase as global warming. We never got warm,not even at night,when we slept under piles of blankets because Dad believed that if you couldn,t see your breath ' when you talked,then the thermostat was turned up too high and you were wasting fuel. So 45 degrees was room temperature,and we wore long woolens to bed.
We arose in the cold,dark dawn,and walked forth into the snowstorm to catch the school bus. We huddled(蜷縮) by the highway,praying for the bus to come,while wolves moved around eyeballing us for signs of sleepiness. When you have survived wolves,then the winters of today are a walk in the park.
Enduring winter is only a start — embracing(擁抱) winter is what you should struggle for. Winter gives a sense of purpose and saves one from a life of self-gratification,lying down and posting photos on Facebook. You have promises to keep. A sidewalk to clear. Two inches of snow over a layer of ice — you may as well set a leg trap for the elderly as leave the walk unswept.
You have children to raise. Remove their fingers from their smart phones,and lead them outdoors so they can absorb the wisdom of winter. We are animals. Life is not mainly about self-expression. It is about finding food and clothing and shelter,about sticking with the pack and not wandering off. Everyone,is just as cold as you. No complaining.
32. What are Minnesota's winters like in the author's eyes?
A. They are wonderful.
B. They are unbearable.
C. They are colder than Buffalo’ s.
D. They are comfortable for visitors.
33. When the author was young, .
A. he kept talking to keep warm
B. he suffered from winters’ nights
C. his dad tried his best to warm him
D. his room was always at a high temperature
34. The underlined part “the winters of today are a walk in the park” in Paragraph 4 implies that today's winters are.
A. warm B. quiet
C. short D. pleasant
35. The author suggests that people .
A. store enough food for cold winters
B. lend the neighbors a helping hand
C. step outside and appreciate winters
D. say goodbye to modem technology
