Opening Hours and Safari(游猎)Times
Safaris operate twice a day, starting at dawn until late morning, and mid afternoon until sunset. The best time to visit the park is early in the morning or after 4 p.m to spot the animals. The park is closed from July 1 to September 30 due to the monsoon season(季风季节).
Bandhavgarh Zones

I’d planned to spend my weekend in the sun, potting flowers outdoors. But that was before the pair of crows. Out of nowhere, they had set up their base camp in our backyard.
We first discovered our feathered enemies on Friday morning. It was early, and the sound the birds made travelled through our neighborhood. I figured they’d go away soon. But, no. They were getting louder and probably annoying my neighbors nearly as much as us with the noise. I admit I got a little desperate.
Then, on Sunday afternoon, I looked out the kitchen window to see our dog Quatchi staring at something on the ground. I went to explore and found a small coal-black bird in the grass. Its eyes were milky, and it stayed perfectly still as my dog inched towards it. Only when Quatchi touched his nose to its head did it walk away. I grabbed the dog and locked him inside and came back with my camera.
It never occurred to me that the young would be hanging out on the ground, growing and gaining strength as its parents guarded it from above. The second I saw this little creature I forgave the crows.
To be honest, I’ve never been much of a bird person. I also have a healthy respect for birds, and by healthy I mean slightly fear-based. They’re basically living dinosaurs.
I wish they’d chosen another backyard. There are only so many sunny days in Seattle, and I still can’t do any gardening out there. But I’m also grateful that I got to see this little bit of nature unfold up close. It’s pretty amazing.
The experience has also reinforced my desire to create a beautiful backyard garden that attracts lots of bees, butterflies, and yes, birds. They are welcome here.
41. The arrival of the two crows____.
A. disturbed the author’s life B. frightened the author’s dog.
C. angered the author’s neighbors. D. damaged the author’s backyard.
42. Why did the author lock her dog up?
A. She wanted to take some photos. B. The dog kept making loud noises.
C. She wanted to protect the little bird. D. The parent crows were to attack the dog.
43. After seeing the little crow, the author____.
A. decided to take it in. B. appreciated knowing its growing process.
C. fell in love with the pair of crows. D. planned to drive the crows away.
44. By saying “They’re basically living dinosaurs” in paragraph 5, the author means____.
A. birds are rare. B. birds are very ugly.
C. she is afraid of birds. D. she is respectful to birds.
45. The author writes the text mainly to ____.
A. show an annoying situation. B. seek advice on dealing with crows.
C. call on readers to protect birds. D. share a personal experience.
C
Electric cars are dirty. In fact, not only are they dirty, they might even be more dirty than their gasoline-powered cousins.
People in California love to talk about “zero-emissions(排放)vehicles”, but people in California seem to be clueless about where electricity comes from. Power plants mostly use fire to make it. Aside from the new folks who have their roofs covered with solar cells, we get our electricity from generators(发电机). Generators are fueled by something--usually coal, oil, but also by heat generated in nuclear power plants. There are a few wind farms and geothermal
(地热)plants as well, but by far we get electricity mainly by burning something.
In other words, those "zero-emissions" cars are likely coal-burning cars. It’s just because the coal is burned somewhere else, it looks clean. It is not. It's as if the California Greens are covering their eyes—“If I can't see it, it's not happening.” Gasoline is an incredibly efficient way to power a vehicle; a gallon of gas has a lot of energy in it. But when you take that gas（or another fuel）and first use it to make electricity, you waste a nice part of that energy, mostly in the form of wasted heat—at the generator, through the transmission lines, etc.
A gallon of gas may propel your car 25 miles. But the electricity you get from that gallon of gas won't get you nearly as far— so electric cars burn more fuel than gasoline-powered ones. If our electricity came mostly from nukes or geothermal, or hydro or wind or solar, then an electric car truly would be clean. But for political, technical, and economic reasons, we don't use much of those energy sources.
In addition, electric cars' batteries which are poisonous for a long time will eventually end up in a landfill. And finally, when cars are the polluters, the pollution is spread across all the roads. When it's a power plant, though，all the junk is in one place. Nature is very good at cleaning up when things are too concentrated, but it takes a lot longer when all the garbage is in one spot.
46. What does “clueless” mean in paragraph 2?
A. People see the California Greens everywhere
B. People there have no idea that so far electricity mainly comes from burning coal, oil, etc C. People in California love to have their roofs covered with solar cells
D. People in California love to talk about zero-emissions vehicles
47. What is the main idea of the text?
A. Electric cars are not clean at all
B. Electric cars are better than gasoline-powered ones
C. People cast doubts on electric cars’ batteries
D. Gasoline is an efficient way to power a vehicle
48. The electricity we get from a gallon of gas may make our car run ______.
A. not less than 25 miles B. as far as 50 miles
C. as far as 25 miles D. not more than 25 miles
49. According to the text, electric cars ______.
A. are more environmentally friendly
B. burn more fuel than gas-powered ones
C. are very good at cleaning up when things are not too concentrated
D. are poisonous for a long time and will eventually end up in a landfill
50. It can be inferred from the text that ______.
A. being green is good and should be encouraged in communication
B. electric cars are now the dominant vehicle compared with gasoline-powered cousins
C. zero-emissions vehicles should be chosen to protect our environment
D. electric cars are not clean because we get electricity mainly by burning something
D
Many public figures from IT, show business, and sports have joined the Ice Bucket Challenge to raise money for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) (肌萎缩性侧索硬化) research. A number of international famous people have already taken the challenge, including Microsoft co—founder Bill Gates, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Amazon.com founder and CEO Jeff Bezos, and Apple Inc. CEO Tim Cook. Troubled musician Justin Bieber even challenged US President Barrack Obama.
The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge requires that participants pour a bucket of ice water on themselves and then post a video of it on social media while nominating one or more people to do the same within 24 hours. People who fail to take the challenge will have to donate $100 to The ALS
Association, which advocates finding treatment and a cure for ALS. And many of those who’ve taken the challenge donated as well.
ALS is a rare disease that gradually reduces patients’ muscle strength, finally making them become unable to speak, move, swallow and breathe. In North America, ALS is commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, after the star baseball player who died of the disease in 1941 at the age of 38. The best—known ALS patient today is British scientist Stephen Hawking. While most people with ALS survive only two to five years after diagnosis(诊断), Hawking has had the disease for decades. The medical treatment for ALS is very expensive and cannot be covered by most social welfare programs. This creates difficulties for many ALS patients and their families, both physically and mentally.
“Due to the ice bucket campaign, many people beginning to know about ALS. With more people aware and more people taking part in the fight against ALS, we can calmly work with not only other ALS organizations, but also with medical companies to speed up new treatments for people affected by the disease,” said Barbara Newhouse, President and CEO of The ALS Association.
51. Why does the author mention many famous people in Paragraph 1?
A. To stress the popularity of the Ice Bucket Challenge.
B. To advise us to learn from them.
C. To prove they are generous.
D. To introduce the target group of the Ice Bucket Challenge.
52. Paragraph 2 is mainly about the Ice Bucket challenge’s ____ .
A. influence. B. purpose. C. rules. D. development.
53. The person who is nominated for the challenge is required to ____ .
A. donate $100 to The ALS Association.
B. watch others videos on social media.
C. help find effective treatments for ALS.
D. pour ice water on himself within time.
54. What do we know about ALS from the text?
A. ALS is fairly common now.
B. Lou Gehrig was first cured of ALS.
C. It is rare for people with ALS to survive decades.
D. Social welfare programs provide medical treatments for ALS.
55. According to Barbara Newhouse, the Ice Bucket Challenge ____ .
A. makes more people well aware of ALS.
B. teaches people how to fight against ALS.
C. makes medical companies help ALS patients.
D. attracts many people to join ALS organizations.

I was still a fresh graduate from high school; I got a chance to work. During my first day of work, I came early. I was the first one to arrive in the office. Perhaps it was due to excitement. I had performed well in my given tasks. Everything went smoothly in my work. The passion when I started was still the same passion I am feeling until now. Furthermore, I didn't forget to do well in my studies. In fact, I still managed to review my notes, to become active in classes and to score high in tests.
I had learned new things as I started working there. Dealing and interacting with people were some of the remarkable learning I had. Moreover, it was also very fulfilling when I had helped my parents diminish their finances in my own ways.
It is not that easy to study while working. There are truly pressures in between them. Sometimes, deadlines of the school project and errand(差事)from the boss go together. Sometimes, there are misunderstandings between colleagues. There are just some sacrifices and challenges of becoming a working student.
Yet, it is my will and I am very happy with it because I am learning and growing. They say, "You can’t serve two masters at a time." It is possible, but it is a challenge. I know that I can balance studies and work. Moreover, I know that I can still keep my relationships with my family, friends and loved ones. I know that I can still share my talents despite my busy life. I just enjoy everything because every moment of being working student is a truly remarkable experience.

61. One possible version:
Dear Susan,
I’m more than delighted to hear from you. In response to your enquiry, I’d like to share some information concerning the ban on setting off firecrackers in Tianjin during this Spring Festival.
Just as you know, it is a tradition for the Chinese to set off firecrackers in order to increase festival atmosphere, which has a long history and reflects strong Chinese culture. However, in recent years, more and more relevant problems have been caused by this activity, including not only a large quantity of fires and more serious environmental pollution, but also countless injuries and even many deaths, which is the reason why the city government determined to put a ban on setting firecrackers in our city.
Since the ban came into effect on Jan. 1, 2018, we citizens all have obeyed the ban strictly. Thanks to the combined efforts by all the citizens, and for the first time we have spent a special festival without firecrackers. I feel extremely peaceful and happy in such a clean, secure and quiet festival.
Yours，
LiJin
