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.  ‎ 8‎ ‎       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 参考答案1B  2D  3A  4C  ‎ B 平凡女孩的哈佛之路 Not only kids of Tiger Moms go to Harvard.‎ Dawn Loggins of Lawndale, N．C., is on her way to Harvard, one of the eight worldfamous universities in the eastern US.

They are reading, listening, speaking, and writing. The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills you should first master the skills of reading and listening.‎ ‎    Read as much as you can. But your reading must be active. It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentence, the meanings of the unfamiliar words, etc. There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammars or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across, but the fact that you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them, for example in other passages or books, is enough. It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it_‎ ‎    As for listening, there are two choices: besides reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes. You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading, then you can catch up on your listening. Since you have lots of inputs in your mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say. This 8‎ ‎ never means that you should not practice listening.‎ ‎    For listening you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children.  Their languages are easy. Or if you are good at listening you can listen to VOA or BBC programs every day. Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably taking some notes.‎ ‎    If you follow these pieces of advice, your speaking and writing will improve automatically, and you can be sure that with a little effort they will become perfect.‎ ‎1. According to the author, which should you improve first among the four skills?‎ ‎    A. Reading and writing.                    B. Reading and listening.‎ ‎    C. Writing and speaking.                         D. Speaking and listening.‎ ‎2. The underlined phrase "come across" in Paragraph 2 can probably be replaced by "_______".‎ ‎    A. meet by accident                                B. discover ‎    C. find on purpose                           D. look for ‎3. The author seems to agree with the view that_______.‎ ‎    A. everyone should listen to VOA or BBC programs every day ‎    B. you needn't practice listening if you keep on reading every day ‎    C. being good at reading is helpful in improving your listening ‎    D. you should take notes of whatever you are hearing ‎4. The passage is mainly about how to_______.‎ ‎    A. choose suitable listening materials ‎    B. deal with new words in reading ‎    C. read as many English books as possible ‎    D. become fluent in speaking and writing English 参考答案BACD  ‎ 8‎ 二、语法选择。‎ Today, 1 increasing number of people are always 2 their mobile phones with their heads down.
