this trip：to spend time with our son serving in an organization that helps with projects in Namibia.After travelling through Namibia，we ended in Cape Town，South Africa.There，I was struck by a message on a tourist bus：“Go places.Prosper.” To prosper not only relates to financial success，but includes engaging in activities that open minds and hearts.The good news is that Americans travel internationally more than we often think，and international travel continues to increase.But unfortunately，the destinations tend to be places where we are not challenged by differences in culture or lifestyle：55 percent travel to Canada or Mexico，while less than one percent go to Africa.In Cape Town，we stayed at a couple's home.Living in their home gave us insight into their day­to­day lives.Their books and decor revealed their religious background，language and interests.One of our Uber drivers was from Zimbabwe and shared stories about his struggles to make ends meet in his country，and his hopes of making a life in South Africa.While in Namibia we spent several days with our son's host family.His Namibian parents are both educators，with several children，and they have become close to our son.We ate “braai”—traditional Namibian grilled meat—and shared our hopes for the future.We prospered for sure.Every day we experienced new dialects，aromas(芳香)，and trials and tribulations(磨难)．In the end，we came to understand not only the differences between us and others，but more importantly the humanity that connects us with others：the importance of family，the aspirations(渴望) for a good future，and the mutual goodwill we shared with those we met.【语篇解读】　本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过作者自己的南非旅行说明旅游可以加深我们对不同文化的理解，从而有助于建立更和谐、美好的世界。1．What's the author's main purpose in taking this

common animals are just as likely to rise or fall in number in a time of accelerating global warming as those of rare species，a study suggests.Until recently，scientists were still accumulating data on how animal populations were shifting over time globally across the different regions of the planet.Making use of the newly available data，a team of University of Edinburgh researchers studied nearly 10，000 animal populations recorded in the Living Planet Database between 1970 and 2014 to provide a new perspective on animal population change.These include records of mammals，reptiles，sharks，fish，birds and amphibians.The team found that 15 percent of all populations declined during the period，while 18 percent increased and 67 percent showed no significant change.Amphibians were the only group in which population sizes declined，while birds，mammals and reptiles experienced increases.The overall decline in amphibians makes them a priority for conservation efforts，researchers say，as their loss could have knock­on effects in food chains and wider ecosystems.Gergana Daskalova，of the University of Edinburgh's School of GeoSciences，who led the study，said，“We often assume that declines in animal numbers are prevalent everywhere.But we found that there are also many species which have increased over the last half of a century，such as those which do well in human­transformed landscapes or those which are the focus of conservation actions.”Dr.Isla Myers­Smith，also of the School of GeoSciences，who co­authored the study，said，“Only as we bring together data from around the world，can we begin to really understand how global change is influencing the biodiversity of our planet.”【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。研究表明，在全球变暖加速的时代，普通动物的数量可能会增加或减少，就像稀有物种一样。4．With the global temperature rising，what happens to the animals?A．Rare animal species tend to decline.B．Common animal species tend to increase.C．Global warning is accelerating with the loss of animal species.D．The population of common animals changes just like rare ones.D　[细节理解题。根据第一段“The populations of common animals are just as likely to rise or fall in number in a time of accelerating global warming as those of rare species，a study suggests.”可知，随着全球气温的上升，普通动物的数量变化会像稀有动物一样。故选D。]5．How did scientists carry out the study?A．By analyzing existing information.B．By studying animals' behavior.C．By comparing different studies.D．By recording the data of animals.A　[细节理解题。根据第三段中“Making use of the newly available data，a team of University of Edinburgh researchers studied nearly 10，000 animal populations recorded in the Living Planet Database between 1970 and 2014 to provide a new perspective on animal population change.”可知，科学家们通过分析现有信息来进行这项研究。故选A。]6．What does the underlined word “prevalent” in Paragraph 5 mean?A．Sharp.　　 B．Common.C．Steady. D．Relative.B　[词义猜测题。根据画线词后文“But we found that there are also many species which have increased over the last half of a century，such as those which do well in human­transformed landscapes or those which are the focus of conservation actions.”以及上文“We often assume that declines in animal numbers are”可知，but表示转折，说明我们经常假设动物数量的减少在世界各地都很普遍，结果却发现在过去的半个世纪里，也有很多物种数量增加了，即画线词意思是“普遍的”。A.Sharp.锐利的；B.Common.普遍的；C.Steady.稳定的；D.Relative.有关的。故选B。]7．What is Dr.Isla Myers­Smith's attitude towards the study?A．Objective. B．Optimistic.C．Subjective. D．Pessimistic.A　[推理判断题。根据最后一段“Dr.Isla Myers­Smith，also of the School of GeoSciences，who co­authored the study，said，‘Only as we bring together data from around the world，can we begin to really understand how global change is influencing the biodiversity of our planet.’”可推知，Isla Myers­Smith博士对这项研究持客观态度。故选A。]Ⅲ.阅读七选五How do we rid ourselves of the negative (消极的) thoughts and return to a place of peace and acceptance？Read on for some expert­guided tips.First，don't suppress (抑制) the negative thought.“Research shows that it's important not to suppress negative thoughts as this only makes it worse.  1   Then，select a positive thought or visual to engage with in place of the negative thought that you set free，” Dr.Carla Marie Manly，and the author of Joy from Fear，tells She Knows.Don't forget to breathe.“Close your eyes and breathe in for a count of four；then breathe out slowly to the count of four.When worries and stress begin to rise，be kind to yourself.  2   A worried mind gets very calm when it's focused on breathing rather than worrying，” says Manly.  3   “Just because you have a thought doesn't mean it's true.When you notice you're being hard on yourself or thinking very negatively，take a step back and question the thought you're having，” suggests Touroni.“  4  Are you jumping to conclusions？”Try a positive message mantra (咒语)．When negative thoughts get a hold on you，Manly recommends focusing on a positive message or mantra that feels strong and calming for you.“For example，your mantra might be，‘All will be well.  5  ’” Manly suggests keeping a copy of your mantra in your wallet，on your mirror，and on your desk for a handy reminder during stressful moments.A．Things will work out.B．Think of a peaceful image instead.C．Don't believe everything you think.D．And then pause to relax and breathe.E．Is there any evidence to support this?F．Can you trace back to where this all started?G．Instead，notice the negative thought and then let it float away.【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了几种帮助摆脱消极思想的方式。1．G　[根据本段小标题“First，don't suppress the negative thought.”和下文“Research shows that it's important not to suppress negative thoughts as this only makes it worse.”可知，我们需要做的是注意到消极的想法然后慢慢消散。故选G。]2．D　[根据本段小标题“Don't forget to breathe.”可知，本段内容与用呼吸来放松有关，D项中的“breathe”与标题呼应。故选D。]3．C　[空处为段落小标题。根据下文“‘Just because you have a thought doesn't mean it's true.When you notice you're being hard on yourself or thinking very negatively，take a step back and question the thought you're having，’ suggests Touroni.”可知，本段主要讲述要质疑自己的一些想法。故选C。]4．E　[根据上文中的“take a step back and question the thought you're having”和下文“Are you jumping to conclusions？”可知，空处提出是否有支撑的证据。 E项承接上文，符合语境。故选E。]5．A　[根据上文“When negative thoughts get a hold on you，Manly recommends focusing on a positive message or mantra that feels strong and calming for you.”和“All will be well.”可知，空处应该是积极的咒语的例子。A项承接上文，符合语境。故选A。]
