We all love animals, but animals don’t feel the same way about us. When we enter their wild world, we are “unnatural” invaders（入侵者） into their homes.

There was a video many of you may have seen on the Internet recently of a bear and its cub (幼崽) climbing up a steep, snow-covered hill in Russia. The mama bear makes it to the top without too much trouble, but the baby bear keeps sliding back down. It takes three attempts to reach the top and, no doubt, many cheered at the cub’s never-give-up spirit. But nature scientists who saw the video didn’t cheer.

Instead, the scientists were upset that the two bears had been frightened into making a dangerous, unnecessary climb by the drone (无人机) that was filming them. Sophie Gilbert of the University of Idaho said, “It showed a complete lack of understanding from the drone operator of the effects his actions were having on the bears.” Other scientists have found that when a drone is hovering near, a bear’s heart rate can increase from 41 beats per minute to 162 beats per minute — a high enough rate to cause a heart attack.

Human disturbance has actually been having a far-reaching influence on wildlife. Researchers at the University of Berkeley recently found that many mammals are turning into “night owls” again to avoid contact with humans. Such a shift might not only affect those species themselves, but also have numerous chain effects.

We human beings find ourselves in a strange position in nature. We are part of it but also separate from it, now more than ever, since most of us live in cities. So, when we go off hiking into wild areas to “re-connect” with nature, we should go softly and considerately. It’s OK to get close to our animal friends, just not too close — we wouldn’t want to scare them, would we?

4. What does the video feature?

A. The baby bear’s climbing. B. The mama bear’s care.

C. The dangerous environment. D. The experiment by scientists.

5. Why didn’t nature scientists cheer?

A. They knew the bear’s family well.

B. They were against other scientists.

C. They knew the cause of the bears’ climbing.

D. They lacked understanding of the drone operator.

6. What may be the effect of human disturbance on wildlife?

A. Food shortage. B. Changing habitats.

C. Ecological imbalance. D. Less contact with humans.

7. What does the author seem to agree with?

A. Lose connection with nature.

B. Tighten the bond with wild animals.

C. Respect the human-animal distance.

D. Shoot more videos on animals for study.

C

As a child, Rob Stewart loved the natural world. “He loved everything in the sea, but sharks the most,” said his mother, Sandy Stewart.

Stewart spent his life studying and photographing sharks and other sea creatures, and creating films. Sadly, he died in 2017 at the age of 37 in a diving accident. The accident happened while Stewart was filming Sharkwater Extinction, which members of his crew completed after his death.

Knowing that about 25% of shark species were endangered and sharks might soon be extinct, Stewart worked hard to raise awareness of sharks and their key role in nature. Stewart believed that they should be protected against humans and other enemies. He studied how illegally shark finning has led to a great fall in the shark population.

When Stewart found out about the finning, he tried to end it. As an experienced diver and skilled cinematographer, he was able to raise awareness of the problem by filming sharks in their natural environment. His films, said Sandy Stewart, showed people “how beautiful the underwater creatures are. People would fall in love with them and work to protect them.”

As of 2013, 55 countries had banned shark finning. Stewart lived and died a hero in the pursuit of saving sharks and the sea. He is believed to have saved one-third of the world’s sharks.

Stewart’s parents hope kids will continue his story by supporting shark-friendly actions. They encourage kids to buy or ask their parents to buy shark-free products.

Another thing that young people can do is learn more about sharks. A good place to start is  “Shark Database,” an online resource that was created by Rob Stewart’s friends.

“It’s your generation that we want to make sure sees the world that Rob saw and does whatever you can to protect the big fish,” said Stewart’s father. “One person can make a big difference.”

8. What do we know about Rob Stewart?

A. He died because of a shark attack. B. He was interested in sea animals.

C. He led a research team studying the sea.  D. He made Sharkwater Extinction in

9. What did Rob Stewart do to end illegal shark finning?

A. He made films showing sharks living naturally.

B. He encouraged people to buy shark-free products.

C. He wrote to the government asking for a ban on shark finning.

D. He collected information to show the influence of illegal shark finning.

10. How may Rob Stewart’s action to save sharks be described?

A. Creative    B. Successful    C. Fruitless    D. Unwelcome.

11. In “the world that Rob saw”,                  .

A. little action was taken to protect sharks

B. less than 50 countries banned shark finning

C. about a quarter of shark species were in danger

D. human behavior was the main cause of shark extinction

D

To walk is to be human. We' re the only creature that gets around by standing up and

putting one foot in front of the other. In the more than 4 million years that humanity' s ancestors have been u-sing only two legs for walking, our ability to walk upright has allowed humankind to travel great distances and survive changing climates, environments and landscapes.

But walking is more than just transportation. It also happens to be really good for us. Countless scientific studies have found that this simple act can provide a number of health benefits and help people live longer. In fact, a walking routine-if done properly-might be the only exercise people need.

How much walking should one aim for? You’ve likely heard we need 10,000 steps a day. That’s about 5 miles. But contrary to popular belief, this recommendation doesn’t come from science. Instead, it stems from a 1960s advertising campaign to promote a pedometer(计步器)in Japan. Perhaps because it's a round number and easy to remember, it stuck.

Since the 1960s, researchers have studied the 10,000 - steps - a - day standard and have turned up mixed results. Although 10,000 steps is certainly a healthy and worthwhile goal, it’s not a one - size - fits - all recommendation.

For instance, a recent Harvard University study involving more than 16,000 senior women found that those who got at least 4,400 steps a day greatly reduced their risk of dying early when compared with less active women. The study also noted that these benefits continued up to 7, 500 steps before leveling off. This 7,500 mark isn't surprising: It’s in line with common public health recommendations, such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s recommendation of 150 minutes of moderate (适度的) physical activity a week for adults.

Research has shown that picking up the pace might be a good idea, too-fast enough to raise your heart rate, even if just for a short burst.

12. Which statement will the author believe?

A. Walking 10000 steps a day fits us all who lack exercise.

B. Walking is the only exercise that unhealthy people need.

C. To be healthy, walking great distances is strongly suggested

D. The benefits of walking depend on frequency, intensity and duration

13. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 probably mean?

A. A walking routine B. A round number

C. The popular belief D. The pedometer Ads.

14. How much walking should one aim for according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention?

A. 4,400 steps a day. B. 7,500 steps a day.

C. 10,000 steps a day. D. 150 minutes a day.

15. What is the best title of the passage?

A. The Only Exercise You Need-Walking

B. 10,000 - Step Goal Is More Marketing Than Science

C. Walking Is One Of The Best Exercises For Health

D. Walk Often, Walk Fast And Walk Long

Good morning, everyone!
I feel honored to give you a speech on the career I will take up in the future. Like everyone present here, I have great expectations for my future job — to be a tourist guide.

Since my early age, I have been admiring a guide who can travel to various tourist attractions, sharing the knowledge of local customs and communicating with people from all walks of life. Meanwhile, its decent salary also has special appeal to me.

To be a qualified guide is not an easy job. I am bent on reading more and visiting famous mountains and great rivers, so that I can encounter different customs and practices. Only through hard work can I make my dream a reality.

Thank you for your listening!
