An extremely rare manuscript(手稿) signed by English naturalist Charles Darwin is expected to fetch up to $790,000 at a Sotheby's auction next month.
The document contains a passage from the famous 1859 work On the Origin of Species, in which Darwin put forth his theory of evolution. The document was once thought to be a deserted page from an earlier manuscript of the work. But experts now understand it was written in 1865 and sent to the editor of the Autographic Mirror who had requested a signed writing sample from Darwin.
"While some of Darwin's notes and manuscript pages have survived over the last hundred or more years, he was known to keep revising his publications, often throwing away pages from working drafts as waste paper, making them extremely rare," Sotheby's said in a statement.
On the Origin of Species was voted the most influential academic book of all time in a public poll held during Academic Book Week in 2015. The book offers Darwin's revolutionary idea that species evolve over generations in the process of natural selection.
Darwin backed up his theory with evidence collected during his 1831-1836 voyage on the H.M.S. Beagle, during which he observed and collected specimens(标本)from a number of species. On the Galapagos Islands off the coast of Ecuador, Darwin noted that the finches(鸣雀) on the island were similar to finches on the mainland; however, the availability of different foods in each area had led to differences in beak shapes.
The manuscript will be placed on display at Sotheby's in New York between Nov. 30 and Dec 8, and online bids will be accepted between Nov. 25 and Dec. 8. The auction house estimates that the document will fetch between $600,000 and $790,000.
The auction, which is titled Age of Wonder, will also include a first edition of On the Origin of Species and a copy of scientific paper by Darwin and another naturalist.
4、What do we know about the manuscript?
A.It's a page of On the Origin of Species. B.It's a draft of Darwin's scientific paper.
C.It's a signed writing sample to an editor. D.It's waste paper from Darwin's study.
5、What makes Darwin's On the Origin of Species the most influential academic book?
A. His methods of research. B. His adventure on the sea.
C. The rare manuscript. D. His theory of evolution.
6、What does the underlined phrase "backed up" mean in Paragraph 5?
A. supported B.explained C.declared D.created
7、What is the purpose of the auction?
A. To put the manuscript on sale. B. To display Darwin's works.
C. To vote the best academic books. D. To release a new discovery.
A volunteer team in South Africa is rescuing pangolins from illegal trade as the animals face growing threats of extinction.
Pangolins, or scaly ant-eaters as they are otherwise known, are unique species found in Asia and Africa. They are covered in hard scales(鳞甲).When they feel threatened, they roll up into a tight ball with only their scales exposed.
Pangolins are little studied and little understood species. However, they are poached and illegally traded in Asia and Africa. Their meat is considered a delicacy in many Asian countries and the scales are used in expensive clothing and handbags. But much of the illegal trade in pangolins involves their scales, which are thought to fight illnesses. High demand for their scales has resulted in poaching and illegal trade despite the fact that the species is protected.
The African Pangolin Working Group in Johannesburg is a volunteer team of veterinarians(兽医)and wildlife experts. They take care of their wounds, feed them and bring them back to health. Nicci Wright heads the group.
"When we receive those pangolins they are all very weak, whether they have been with the poachers for a few days or up to two weeks," Wright said. "They have got wounds and injuries, and it is very pitiful and very difficult to emotionally deal with that kind of suffering and abuse."
The group is not just treating pangolins. They also help police to identify and catch poachers and traders, often in undercover operations. They also work on anti-trafficking measures. The latest program is to train dogs to sniff out pangolins being hidden and transported.
It is reported that 97 tons of pangolin scales were seized from smugglers who tried to take them out of Africa last year. This amounts to about 150,000 poached animals. However, it's only about 20 percent of the total number, because the rest escaped with the poachers. "If this trend continues, there is a very likely extinction event for all species of the pangolin," Wright noted.
8、Why are pangolins considered unique mammals?
A. Their meat makes delicious food. B. They have scales to protect themselves.
C.They are in danger of dying out. D. They are little understood species.
9、What pushes the poaching and illegal trade of pangolins?
A. Food shortages in Africa. B. Health benefits of their meat.
C. Medicinal value of their scales. D. The demand of fashion industry.
10、What do the volunteer team's efforts focus on?
A. Catching the poachers and illegal traders.
B. Training dogs to find the hidden pangolins.
C. Reporting any illegal trade or poaching.
D. Treating and tending the rescued pangolins.
11、What is Nicci Wright's major concern according to the last paragraph?
A. Pangolins' suffering and abuse. B. Extinction of all pangolin species.
C. A decline in pangolin populations. D. The research on pangolin's behavior.
Chemically, there are many different alcohols. All of them are poisons for almost all living things. After a person swallows a drink containing alcohol, the alcohol is absorbed rapidly into the bloodstream. It is then slowly removed and burned up, changing entirely in the process to carbon dioxide and water, mostly by action of the liver. The effects of alcohol on the body come from its effect on the brain. And they depend upon the amount of alcohol that builds up in the bloodstream.
As with many other poisons, a small amount of alcohol has some special effects. In small amounts it acts as a stimulant. People who are uptight"—tense and nervous—are apt to become more relaxed and talkative, and seem to lose their worries. For this reason, some people drink a little alcohol after a hard day's work.
The trouble with alcohol begins with just a little more—just a slightly higher amount—in the bloodstream. Then it becomes a depressant. Depressants make people slower at thinking and slower at moving. But people are apt to think they are smarter and faster. That's bad. You can easily understand why they should not be driving a car.
There's another part about drinking too much alcohol, which is even worse. People are likely to lose self-control. Then they are likely to drink even more. Those who are drunk are not very nice to be around and can be dangerous—to themselves and others.
Some people are compulsive drinkers. Even a small amount of alcohol "sets them off," and they keep on drinking. These people are called alcoholics. The American Medical Association says they have the disease of alcoholism.
So far, no one has found a cure. The only treatment for an alcoholic is to never take a drink of alcohol—not even a little bit. That may sound simple, but for an alcoholic it's not.
12、Which part of body does alcohol have the most effects on?
A.The bloodstream. B. The heart. C.The brain. D. The liver.
13、Why do people like to drink alcohol after a day's work?
A. To relax themselves. B. To make them smarter.
C.To have a good sleep. D.To become braver.
14、What does the author's suggestion to alcoholics?
A. Drink a little bit each day. B. Cut down on the amount.
C. Never drive after drinking. D. Stop drinking completely.
15、What is the text mainly about?
A. The benefits of alcohol drinking. B. The effects of alcohol on people.
C. The treatments on alcoholism. D. The causes of getting drunk.
二、七选五

六、读后续写
34、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One day, Reuben, a 12-year-old boy, saw something in a shop window that set his heart racing. The price—five dollars—was beyond his means, but he went in the shop anyway.
Poorly dressed, he went up and told the shopkeeper what he wanted, adding, "I don't have the money right now. Will you please hold it for me for some time?"
"I'll try," the shopkeeper smiled. "Folks around here don't usually have money to spend on such things. It should keep for a while."
Reuben decided to raise the five dollars by himself. Walking along a side street, he had an idea. People built their own houses in his town, using nails purchased in Hessian sacks(粗麻袋) from a local factory. The sacks were sometimes thrown away. Reuben knew he could sell them back to the factory for five cents a piece.
Every day after school, Reuben went around the town, collecting nail sacks. The school closed for the summer, and he was still wandering in the town, searching for his treasures. Often he was tired and hungry, but the thought of the object in the shop window kept him going. Sometimes his mother Dora would ask: "Reuben, where were you? We were waiting for you to have dinner."
"Playing, Mum. Sorry."
Dora would look at him in his face and shake her head. Boys!
One day in spring, he counted his coins and found he needed twenty cents more. He had to find four sacks and sell them before the day ended. Late in the afternoon, just before the buyer was about to close up, Reuben arrived and sold the four sacks. With the coins in his hand, he murmured a thank you and ran away.
注意:
1.续写的词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Clutching the five dollars, he headed for the shop.

④该空是介词in的宾语,故为名词,happy,高兴的,形容词,happiness,高兴,快乐,名词,该词不可数。故答案为happiness。
⑤该空是非限定性定语从句的关系词,先行词是整个主句;主句表示:他在中国的很多公司工作过,也在北京和一个女孩结婚了,指的是这件事情,关系代词which指代先行词,在从句中作主语。故答案为which。
⑥When引导时间状语从句,该句是状语从句的省略结构:当主句主语和从句主语一致,或者从句主语是it,且从句含有be动词时,从句主语和be动词可以省略;主句是一般过去时,从句为过去进行时;完整的从句为:When he was talking about how he carries out his work,省略he was。故答案为talking。
⑦finish,完成,动词;and后的follows为谓语,此处为非谓语;此处表示:遵循他身体的完成这个工作的本能,不定式做目的状语。故答案为to finish。
⑧be attached to,与……连接在一起,动词短语;该句表示:Ragione现在和中国深深地联系在一起。故答案为to。
⑨结合前句意思:我在中国参观了很多城市,可知该句表示:北京是我最喜爱的那个,故该空是much的最高级,love...most,最喜爱……。故答案为most。
⑩fell love with it,爱上它,动词短语,本空为副词,修饰动词短语;gradual,逐渐的,形容词;gradually,逐渐地,副词。故答案为gradually。

Clutching the five dollars, he headed for the shop. "I've got the money!" Reuben declared to the shop owner. The man put the necklace into a delicate box, wrapped it in brown paper, and then placed the box in Reuben's hands. Holding the box, Reuben's eyes glittered with joy. After exchanging goodbyes with the shop owner, Reuben rushed home to surprise his mother. "Mom! It's for you!" Reuben exclaimed as he ran to her side. He placed the box in her hand.
Dora opened it carefully and a lovely jewel box appeared. She couldn't believe her eyes. She took the pearl necklace out and cautiously put it on, tears of happiness beginning to blur her vision. Dora had never received such a precious gift. It was the best Mothers' Day gift she had ever received. Yes, she was indeed not rich, but she was indeed happy. With tears rolling down her weather- beaten face, she smiled and scooped her son into her arms.
