You are supposed to be our future, a new chapter in the story of our lives, but I can't help being angry with you. Only a few weeks old, you're demanding and unreasoning and I'm struggling to see the good that you bring.

To start with, we got on with it, settling into a routine as we were trapped in nappies(尿布)and nights when you wouldn't settle, but it started to wear me down. You hear about mothers with postnatal(产后的)depression, but no one talks about the challenges a father has to face: working to put food on the table and a roof over our heads is tough when you've had only a couple of hours to sleep, and we're not supposed to need a break. Men are supposed to never cry. I hope that I can teach you a better way, my son. You're allowed to have weakness, and not keep everything locked up until it bursts.

It came to a head one night, when your mother found me in tears beside your bed. I'd never want to hurt you, but I was terrified by the thoughts I had. I'm doing the best I can for you, and I've gone and got the help I need. Your mother has been so strong, using your grandmother, uncles and friends to help keep our family together while I work through these feelings. The worst part for me is feeling that I'm failing your mother, and that I'm putting all of your needs on her. at a time when she needs help.

There's hope for the future, but it's a slow process. One day I hope you get to read this, and look at me with questioning eyes, because you can't see the man I am right now in the man I'll be in the future.

Hundreds of snow leopards(雪豹)are being killed every year across the mountains of central Asia, threatening the already endangered big cat, according to a new report from Traffic.

Snow leopards live in 12 nations but more than 90%of the reported snow leopard illegal hunting takes place in five countries: China and Mongolia, which host most snow leopards, as well as Pakistan, India and Tajikistan, of which each have just a few hundred of the animals.

Over half the so-called "ghosts of the mountains" are killed by farmers for attacks on livestock(牲畜)and 20% are trapped by snares(陷阱)set for other animals. Another 20％ are killed for the illegal fur trade. The report found up to 200 snow leopards are being illegally traded each year. But the number has fallen sharply in recent years, particularly in China, perhaps because of increasing law enforcement(实施).

The leopards are also at risk from climate change, with warming temperatures threatening to leave a third of their habitat uninhabitable. The tree line shifts up the mountains and causes farmers to plant crops and raise livestock at higher altitudes(高海拔).

To reduce the killings, the report's authors recommend the rolling-out leopard-proof corrals(防豹畜栏)for yaks and horses and insurance schemes for farmers. Such schemes are already being tested, for example in a village in the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh. The natural food of snow leopards are Himalayan blue sheep and ibex, but their numbers have fallen as their habitat is turned into farmland.

Stronger law enforcement is also needed, said Traffic. Less than a quarter of cases of snow leopard poaching have been found and just one in seven charged.

"We all should work together to greatly reduce human-wildlife conflict and ensure that mountain communities can co-exist with snow leopards," said Rishi Sharma, from WWF and a co-author of the report. "Compensation schemes and innovative predator-proof corrals are making a difference but we urgently need to expand these to benefit communities and snow leopards across Asia's high mountains."

28. Why are leopards becoming endangered?

A. Because they are often attacked by livestock.

B. Because they are killed by people for kinds of reasons.

C. Because the animals have experienced many earthquakes.

D. Because their meat tastes delicious and people want them.

29. What's the main idea of Paragraph 3 to Paragraph 4?

A. Leopards are ghosts of the mountains.

B. Snow leopards are threatening people.

C. People are killing more and more leopards.

D. The reasons for the decreasing number of snow leopards.

30. What can we know from the passage?

A. Cases of snow leopard poaching are happening in 12 nations throughout the world.

B. Most of the reported snow leopard poaching was investigated and charged.

C. The number of snow leopards has fallen because their habitat is turned into farmland.

D. Illegal snow leopard trade has been brought under effective control in China recently.

31. What's the meaning of the underlined word "poach"?

A. Raising.       B. Killing.      C. Illegal hunting.       D. Feeding.

D

It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than, to open it and remove all doubt.

-Mark Twain

You can have something extremely smart, useful or funny to say, but if you say it at an improper time, you could make yourself look foolish.

Throughout history many famous, noteworthy people have taken Mark Twain's words to heart. These wise people knew when to talk and when to keep silent. Many leaders have to learn when to talk and when to keep silent even when it might be difficult to do so. All leaders must choose their words carefully, picking the right time to speak, so that their words can have the greatest impact.

If you learn to develop this skill of knowing when to hold your tongue, you will also become wise, even if people think you are not. Some people, in fact, will underestimate you because they do not know what you are thinking all the time. This can give you an advantage in many situations. When people underestimate you, they do not focus on you, leaving you to make and perform plans without being noticed.

If you think before you speak, you can also improve your listening skills, which is a very important and useful skill to have. Listening is another key trait(特征)for a leader to have, and it is harder to achieve than many people think. First, you have to be quiet, and then you have to listen attentively, with all your attention on what the person is saying to be a good listener. When you learn to stop and think before you speak and when you learn to become a good listener you will be well on your way to becoming a good leader. By being able to listen to the people that work with you and for you, you will be able to make informed decisions.

32. The quotation(引言)from Mark Twain functions as         .

A. an example       B. a thread       C. a comparison       D. a model

33. The author takes the example of many famous, noteworthy people to express that

A. influential people are able to express themselves freely

B. many important people didn't take Mark Twain's words seriously

C. leaders should attach great importance to when, how and what to say

D. the public will not understand them if famous, noteworthy people keep silent

34. According to the passage, what are the advantages of developing the skills of holding your tongue?

① You could be underestimated by others.    ② People often think highly of you.

③ You can polish up listening skills.         ④You will improve your relationship with others.

A.①②      B.①③      C.③④      D.②④

35. Which of the following is the best title?

A. He That Talks Much Errs Much       B. Facts Speaks Louder than Words

C. Even Homer Sometimes Nods        D. A Still Tongue Makes a Wise Head

第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Teens are not always the easiest people in the world to understand or talk to. They can be complex and moody, with their minds changing between childhood and adulthood.   36   Let's talk some ways to talk with teens easily.

Start a conversation at the dinner table. Create quality family time and encourage conversation during dinner.   37   That way, you can all focus your attention on the dinner conversation. Try to get to know your teen as a person. Ask them about television shows they're watching, or books they're reading. Share your own favorite shows or books.

   38   If you're spending a lot of time in the car with your teen as their designated chauffeur, make the most of the driving time and use it to talk. For some drivers, talking in the car can be distracting. So focus more on introducing topics of conversation and then listening to your teen's responses.

One way to start a conversation at night is to greet your teen after a night out and offer them a snack. This will show them that you are available for a chat about their night.   39   Try to talk about things that may interest your teen. No matter what your teen's interests are, you should be open to talking about them. You should try to show genuine interest in what your teen enjoys discussing.   40   This ensures you are giving your teen enough time and attention to talk about their interests.

A. You are good at communication.

B. Use time in the car for a conversation.

C. A good rule is to listen twice as much as you speak.

D. Many adults can hardly learn what the teens want.

E. But this doesn't mean it's impossible to talk with teens.

F. After time with their friends, your teen may share more with you.

G. Ask everyone to turn off their cellphones or leave them in another room.

It is clear that April Fools' Day is one of the most widely recognized   61   (holiday) in the Western world. Children play tricks   62   parents and many people are fooled. But why? How did April Fools' Day begin, and how did it become an   63   (globe)phenomenon? Nobody   64   (real)knows. April Fools' Day is apparently an ancient enough tradition   65   the earliest recorded mentions.

One likely explanation is the Roman tradition of Hilaria, a spring festival   66   (hold) around March 25 in honor of the first day of the year   67   (long) than the night. It's hard   68   (say) whether this ancient revel's(狂欢)similarity to modern April Fools' Day are by accident or not, as the first recorded mentions of the holiday didn't appear until several hundred years later. The first mention of April Fools' Day in Britain   69   (come) in 1686, when John Aubrey described April first as a "Fools' holy day".

   70   is clear that the habit of sending springtime rubes(乡巴佬)on a "fool's day" was popular in Europe by the late 1600s. On April Fools' Day, 1698, so many people were tricked into coming to the Tower of London to watch the "washing of the lions" that a local newspaper had to explain it.
