Albert’s father was a very important and busy man, who worked so many hours that he often had to work whole weekends. One Sunday, Albert woke early, hearing his dad opening the front door to go to his office. Albert ran to ask him some questions:
“Why do you have to go to work today, Daddy? We could play…”
“I can’t. I have some very important matters to deal with.”
“And why are they so important, Daddy?”
“Well, because if they turn out well, they will mean a great deal to the company.”

“And why do you want them to promote you?”
“Well, to have a better job and earn more money.”
“Great! And when you have a better job, will you be able to play with me?”
Albert’s father thought for a while, and the boy continued his questions.

“Well, to be able to have a bigger and better house, and so that you can have more things.”

“No, my son, because with a bigger house we’ll be more comfortable and we’ll be able to do more things.”
Albert thought for a while, then smiled.
“Will we be able to do more things together? Great! Then go quickly. I will

美丽的标记
My sixyearold granddaughter, Mary, found a small freckle(斑点) on her left arm. She didn't like it and tried to pick it off.
I told her, “Oh dear, that's a beauty mark. Don't pick it off.” She took another look at it. “It's not beautiful. I want to pick it off,” she cried.
“Each of us is born with special marks. Some of them can be seen, but some of them are invisible(看不见的).”
“What kind of mark is invisible?” she asked.
“Well...a mark of kindness, even the mark of a loving heart. We can't see them, but they are very special marks.”
“Why can't mine all be invisible?” she asked.
“I can see many of your special marks, such as the color of your eyes, the shape of your nose and the smile on your face. Nobody else in the whole world has the same things as you. Special marks, inside and outside, are the things that make each of us different and special.”
She didn't understand all of my words, but she stopped crying. The next morning, Mary ran into the kitchen. She said to my husband, “I have a beauty mark. Do you want to see it?”
“I sure do,” my husband laughed.
“I didn't like it yesterday, but now I do.” she said.
根据上述内容,判断下列句子正误,正确的为“T”,错误的为“F”。
1. Mary has a small freckle on her right arm and she likes it a lot.
2. Mary's family want to help her pick the freckle off.
3. We can see all marks besides special marks inside and outside.
4. It is true that each of us is born with special marks.

1. F 【解析】细节理解题。题干意为:玛丽的右臂上有一块小斑点,她非常喜欢它。根据短文第一段前两句“My sixyearold granddaughter, Mary, found a small freckle(斑点) on her left arm. She didn't like it and tried to pick it off.我六岁的孙女,玛丽,发现她的左胳膊上有一块小斑点。她不喜欢它而且想把它去掉。”可知本题表述错误。
2. F 【解析】细节理解题。题干意为:玛丽的家人想帮她去掉这个斑点。根据短文第二段第二句“Don't pick it off.不要去掉它。”可知是家人不想让她去掉斑点,故本题表述错误。

Though many countries have laws against the illegal ivory trade (反对非法象牙贸易), tens of thousands of African elephants are killed every year.
In January, 2014, hundreds of elephant tusks (象牙) as well as ivory sculptures were put into two large crushing machines (粉碎机) in Guangdong, China. In all, more than six tons of ivory were destroyed. People called the event an ivory crush. In November, 2013, the similar event happened in Colorado, America. There, wildlife officials also destroyed more than six tons of ivory.

Though it may sound strange, wildlife officials are crushing ivory to help save African elephants. Stephanie Wang, who works for the Wildlife Protection Society in New York City, says, “We try to let the world know that we don’t think ivory is valuable when it’s not on an elephant.” Each year, poachers kill elephants, cut off their long tusks and take the tusks out of Africa secretly. Then they sell the tusks and get thousands of dollars. The buyers use the ivory to make sculptures, jewellery and traditional medicines.
The purpose of recent ivory crushes is to send a message to the poachers and those who buy illegal ivory. Stephanie Wang says, “China’s ivory crush is ‘an important step’. However, it is only a small amount (数量) of the illegal ivory. If we don’t stop the illegal ivory trade, African elephants could disappear from the wild within 10 years.”
1. The writer mentions ______ ivory crush(es) in the passage.
A. one B. two C. six D. twelve
2. What can we infer from the passage?
A. There are too many elephants in China.
B. Chinese people can’t afford ivory sculptures.
C. American people never buy ivory sculptures.
D. Wildlife officials are against the ivory trade.
3. What does the underlined word “poachers” mean in Chinese?
A. 偷捕动物的人 B. 热爱动物的人
C. 虐待动物的人 D. 训练动物的人
4. According to Stephanie Wang, ______.
A. it’s not a good idea to crush ivory
B. all of the ivory trade is in China
C. we should do a lot to protect African elephants
D. African elephants will disappear within 10 years
