Amazing Stories of Animals Acting Just Like Humans
◆Horses are picky eaters
Horses have an even better sense of smell than humans do. When horses raise their noses and
open their nostrils (鼻孔), their nervous system allows them to sense smells we can’t sense. This
might explain why they refuse dirty water and carefully move around meadows, eating only the
tastiest grasses, experts say.
◆Whale says thanks
In 2011, a whale expert spotted a humpback whale trapped in a fishing net and spent an hour
freeing it. Afterward, in an hour-long display of thanks, the whale swam near their boat and leaped
into the air about 40 times.
◆Pandas like to be naughty
Is there anything more lovely than a baby panda, except maybe a human baby? In fact, baby
pandas sometimes behave like human babies. They sleep in the same positions and value their
thumbs. Pandas are shy by nature for its shy behaviors such as covering its face with a paw of
ducking its head when confronted by a stranger.
◆A cat honors its owner
Paper towels, and a plastic cup are just a few of the gifts that Toldo, a devoted three-year-old
gray-and-white cat, has placed on his former owner Iozzelli Renzo’s grave every day since the man
died in September 2011. Renzo adopted Toldo from a shelter when the cat was three months old, and
the two formed an inseparable bond. After Renzo passed away, Toldo followed the coffin to the
cemetery, and now “stands guard” at the grave for hours at a time.

Alan Naiman was known for being very careful about how he spent his money. But even those
closest to him had no knowledge of the fortune he quietly gathered and the last act he had planned.
Naiman died of cancer at age 63 last January. The man from the American state of Washington
gave most of his money to groups that help the poor, sick, disabled and abandoned children.
He gave them $11 million. The large amount of his fortune shocked the groups that received his
gifts and even his best friends. That is because Naiman had been known to repair his own shoes with
duct tape. He had sought deals to buy food from grocery stores at closing time and taken friends out
to lunch at low cost restaurants.
Naiman died unmarried and childless. He loved children but also was intensely private. He
saved, invested and worked extra jobs to gather money. He rarely spent the money on himself after
seeing how unfair life could be for children who suffer most.
Naiman was a former banker who worked for the past 20 years at the state Department of
Social and Health Services. He earned $67,234 a year and also took on side jobs. Sometimes, he
worked as many as three at a time. He saved and invested enough to make several millions of dollars.
He also received millions more from his parents after they died.
He left $2.5 million to the Pediatric Interim Care Center in Washington. The center is a private
organization that cares for babies born to mothers who abused drugs and children with drug
dependency. The center used the money to pay off its mortgage (按揭) and buy a new vehicle to
transport the children.
Naiman gave $900, 000 to the Treehouse, where children without parents can choose toys and necessities for free. Treehouse is using Naiman’s money to expand its college and career support
services Statewide.
4．Why were Naiman’s best friends shocked at his donation?
A．He left nothing to his relatives.
B．He was dishonest in his economic conditions.
C．He received wealth from his parents secretly.
D．He used to be very careful to spend money.
5．Naiman was greatly concerned about _________.
A．his money B．his career
C．children in trouble D．life after retirement
6．What does Paragraph 5 mainly talk about?
A．Why Naiman’s parents turned rich. B．Where Naiman’s fortune came from.
C．How hard Naiman worked all his life. D．How clever Naiman was to gather money.
7．How did Naiman’s money benefit the Pediatric Interim Care Center?
A．It improved its transport system. B．It offered more toys to children.
C．It sent more children to college. D．It helped more women give up drugs.
C
In many developed countries, people who have high degrees begin to work longer than those
who don’t. About 65% of American men aged 62 － 74 with a professional degree are in the
workforce (劳动人口), compared with 32% of men who only finish high school. This gap is part of
a deepening divide between the well-educated wealthy and the unskilled poor. Rapid technological
advance has raised the incomes of the highly skilled while squeezing those of the unskilled. The
consequences, for individuals and society, are profound (意义深远的).
The world is facing an astonishing rise in the number of old people, and they will live longer
than ever before. Over the next 20 years the global population of those aged 65 or more will almost
double, from 600 million to 1.1 billion. The experience of the 20th century, when greater longevity
(长寿) translated into more years in retirement rather than more years at work, has persuaded many
observers that this shift (变化) will lead to slower economic growth, while the swelling (渐增的)
ranks of pensioners will create government budget problems.Policies are partly responsible. Many European governments have abandoned policies that used
to encourage people to retire early. Even the better-off must work longer to have a comfortable
retirement. But the changing nature of work also plays a big role. Pay has risen sharply for the highly
educated, and those people continue to reap (获得) rich rewards into old age because these days the
educated elderly are more productive than the preceding (先前的) generation. Technological change
may well reinforce (强化) that shift: the skills that complement (补充) computers, from management
know-how to creativity, do not necessarily decline with age.
8. What is the common phenomenon in the workforce in rich countries?
A. Younger people are replacing the elderly.
B. Well-educated people tend to work longer.
C. People with no college degree cannot find any job.
D. Unemployment rates are decreasing year after year.
9. In view of the experience of the 20th century, many observers predict that ________.
A. economic growth will slow down
B. government budgets will decrease
C. more people will try to receive higher education
D. there will be more competition in the job market
10. According to the text, what is the result of policy changes in European countries?
A. Unskilled workers may choose to retire early.
B. More and more people have to go abroad to hunt for jobs.
C. People may be able to use computers to do more complicated work.
D. Even wealthy people must work longer to live comfortably in retirement.
11. The underlined word “knowhow” in the last paragraph probably refers to “________”.
A. a completely different environment
B. practical knowledge and technical skills
C. a better understanding of policy changes
D. the courage to face difficulties and dangers
DReducing plastic waste isn’t easy because the cheap material is found in almost every
household item. Now, a delicious and nutritious solution has come up to help reduce our dependence
on this environmental hazard.
David Christian, the co-founder of Evoware, says the idea of creating the biodegradable (生物
降解的) products came from concern at the country’s high pollution rate. Indonesia is home to four
of the world’s worst polluted rivers. Since single-use packaging is a large contributor to the problem,
Evoware decided to deal with that first.
After investigating various materials, the company settled on seaweed. Unlike corn, commonly
used for biodegradable containers, seaweed does not require resources like water or large amounts of
space. Since Indonesian farmers already harvest more seaweed than they can sell, it's easy for the
company to find the material.
Though they will not reveal their production process, Evoware says the seaweed packaging
contains no chemicals and is safe to consume. The company has also invented single-use cups,
which can break down 30 days after they’re thrown away.
While replacing plastic with the seaweed products may seem appealing to most of us, it is
a hard-sell in Indonesia. According to Christian, “The awareness to reduce single-use plastic is still
very low. This makes our bioplastic unnecessary.” Also a factor is the cost, which is higher than
using plastic. Hopefully, Evoware will succeed in convincing Indonesians and people worldwide that
switching to their products will be helpful to protecting our beautiful planet.
12.What problem did Evoware decide to deal with first?
A. Ways to clean the four worst polluted rivers.
B. How to deal with single-use packaging.
C. Means to contribute to the country’s economy.
D. What nutritious materials for people to use.
13.Why did Evoware choose seaweed?
A. It could be found everywhere in his country.
B. It was most commonly used for packaging.
C. It didn’t require much space and was easy to get.
D. It grew thickly in most of the polluted rivers.
14.What can we infer from Christian’s words?A. Sometimes it’s hard to get people to reduce the use of plastics.
B. Their seaweed products have won government support.
C. Their new products have received worldwide popularity.
D. The cost of making seaweed products will be lowered soon.
15.What does the underlined word “hard-sell” in Paragraph 5 refer to?
A. Something lasting long. B. Something commonly seen.
C. Something easy to get. D. Something hard to accept.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen,
I am greatly honored to speak on behalf of my schoolmates at this coming-of-age ceremony.
First of all, let’s express our gratitude to both our parents and teachers for what they have done for us
to bring us up. Without their support and love, we would not be as grown-up as we are today. To pay
back, we should spare no effort to work hard in every subject so that we can be admitted into our
dream universities. It goes without doubt that only by acquiring as much advanced knowledge as
possible can we shoulder more responsibilities not only for the society but also for the future of our
country. Dear parents and teachers, you will be proud of us.
Thank you.
