Poaching(偷猎) has been threatening the survival of the African black rhino for long.But thanks to conservation efforts，the population of this endangered animal is slowly increasing，according to a recent update of the International Union for Conservation of Nature(IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species.

Between 2012 and 2018，the number of black rhinos in Africa has increased moderately，at an annual rate of 2.5%.The population in the wild has grown from approximately 4,845 to 5,630.As IUCN’s update suggests，the population models predict the number will continue to rise slowly over the next five years.

The white rhino，Africa’s another rhino species that exists in greater numbers，has been on the IUCN Red List categorized as Near Threatened.Compared to the black rhino，the white rhino is at higher risk of being poached as it has larger horns and prefers more open habitats，which makes it easier to spot.

The threat to the two species mainly comes from poaching for the illegal international rhino horn trade.Fortunately，in recent years，a number of groups including range states，private landowners，and communities have been making efforts to protect them，and the measures are working.In 2015，there were at least 1,349 rhinos poached—an average of 3.7 rhinos hunted per day.Since then，the poaching numbers have decreased every year.In 2018，there were at least 892 rhinos poached，meaning approximately 2.4 African rhinos poached per day，or one every 10 hours.The data for 2019 looks promising as the poaching levels appear to have further gone down.

Although the levels of rhino poaching have been declining slightly in recent years due to conservation efforts，the costs of keeping rhinos safe have greatly gone up and sale prices for live rhinos have decreased considerably over the last 10 years，making private landowners and communities less motivated to protect rhinos.This trend could delay the continued progress of expanding the species range and numbers.

4．Which of the following can best describe the number of the African rhinos now?

A．Slightly declining.

B．Slowly expanding.

C．Greatly increasing.

D．Considerably decreasing.

Healthcare staff and bank clerks have been on the front line of the health and economic crises striking the UK，but behind the scenes，another group of workers，robots，have been toiling away and overcoming both emergencies with no fear of COVID­19.But will COVID­19 speed up the rise of robots?

Robotic Process Automation(RPA)is software that robotizes repetitive back­office tasks.The National Health Service(NHS)has used it during the widespread disease to control demand and capacity planning in caring for all levels of patients day and night.Jason Kingdon，Blue Prism’s new chief executive who is recovering from COVID­19，says，“Before RPA，these were manual processes.You had to train a number of staff to put them in place.Now，you only need to train a single robot to manage the administration.” More than two fifths of bosses across 45 countries that responded to a survey by EY(Ernst &Young) said they were planning on accelerating spending on automation technology to prepare for a post­Covid world.

COVID­19 has already left tens of millions unemployed，so firms won’t be short of cheap labour on the other side of the crisis.But experts still think AI will be the more cautious choice for companies.One of them said，“It’s important to remember that even in China，which has much lower wages,12.5 million manufacturing jobs have been cut over the past four years as more robots have been adopted.”

However，AI is overhyped in many ways and poor application could lead to a rise in anxiety towards automation.Again，we should think of history as a guide.A lot of riots in the early 19th century happened during the continental blockade of the Napoleonic Wars when there was significant disruption to trade in Britain.These things are not unrelated.

8．What does the underlined phrase “toiling away” in Paragraph 1 mean?

A．Working hard.   B．Working lazily.

C．Walking slowly.   D．Walking toughly.

答案　A

解析　词义猜测题。根据画线词上文可知，医疗保健人员和银行职员在英国健康和经济危机的前线，但在幕后，另一组工人机器人在无惧新冠肺炎的情况下，一直在辛勤工作，克服这两种紧急情况。故画线词组意思是“努力工作”。故选A。

9．What do Jason Kingdon’s words in Paragraph 2 mean?

A．He wishes to employ more human staff.

B．He has refused to accept robots’ service.

C．He prefers robots’ working efficiency.

D．He dislikes the survey by EY.

答案　C

解析　推理判断题。根据第二段中“Now，you only need to train a single robot to manage the administration.”可推知机器人的工作效率非常高，Jason Kingdon的话表明他喜欢机器人的工作效率。故选C。

10．What’s the author’s attitude to robots?

A．Supportive.   B．Worried.

C．Indifferent.   D．Opposed.

答案　B

解析　观点态度题。根据最后一段的内容，尤其是“However，AI is overhyped in many ways and poor application could lead to a rise in anxiety towards automation.”可推知，作者对机器人持担忧态度。故选B。

11．What is the best title for the text?

A．Robots Have Taken the Place of Humans

B．COVID­19 Has Terrible Effects on Our Life

C．It’s Time to Stop Robots from Taking the Place of Humans

D．COVID­19 Speeds up the Trend of Robots Replacing Humans

答案　D

解析　标题归纳题。文章主要说明了新冠肺炎可能会加速机器人取代人类的趋势，介绍了机器人在新冠肺炎期间做出的一些贡献和优势，以及人们对此的看法。故选D。

Ⅱ.七选五

Why Gratitude Is Significant

As far as I’m concerned，no matter what you’re going through，there is always a reason to be thankful.But not only that—being thankful might just be exactly what you need to do if you’re going through a tough time.  1 

Researchers found that having a grateful attitude helps strengthen one’s immune system，lower blood pressure，improve sleep and motivate people to exercise regularly.  2   Practicing gratitude also has been associated with better quality of life for individuals who struggle with stress，anxiety and depression.

Having gone through a period of depression myself after cancer surgery 10 years ago，I can tell you this illness can be severe.  3   I knew I was in trouble when I couldn’t eat or sleep.It took me well over a year to come out of that dark valley.

During that time I sought forms of treatment for depression，including professional counseling and exercise.One thing recommended to me by a counselor was keeping a gratitude journal.  4  

This simple exercise lifts my sight out of the darkness and helps me see the truth around：there are people who love and care for you；there’s purpose in life.

  5   In reality，there is no single cure for it.If suffering，you may prefer to seek professional counseling and care.Still，I would encourage you to practice gratitude.Think of a few things you can thank life for.You might be surprised by how significant an effect it can have.

A．Every day，I would set down three things I was thankful for in life.

B．Now I realize depression does not go away by practicing a single exercise.

C．It itself carries a host of health benefits.

D．Being grateful accounts for your recovery.

E．Gratitude is good for your mind，body and soul.

F．Depression makes you feel as if you are dead inside.

G．For example，I would sincerely convey my gratitude loudly.

1．答案　E

解析　本段旨在指出感恩的意义。从该空前句“But not only that—being thankful might just be exactly what you need to do if you’re going through a tough time.”可知，E项“Gratitude is good for your mind，body and soul.”说明了其原因又起到了承上启下的作用。故选E。

2．答案　C

解析　本段讲述研究者发现懂得感恩对人们健康的益处。C项“It itself carries a host of health benefits.”是对空前句“Researchers found that having a grateful attitude helps strengthen one’s immune system，lower blood pressure，improve sleep and motivate people to exercise regularly.”的总结。故选C。

3．答案　F

解析　根据空前句“Having gone through a period of depression myself after cancer surgery 10 years ago，I can tell you this illness can be severe.”可知，F项“Depression makes you feel as if you are dead inside.”是对前文进一步的说明。其中depression是原词复现。故选F。

4．答案　A

解析　根据该空前句“One thing recommended to me by a counselor was keeping a gratitude journal.”可知，A项“Every day，I would set down three things I was thankful for in life.”是对前文的举例说明。故选A。

5．答案　B

解析　根据全文以及该段大意可知，本段既是上一段的总结，也是全文的总结。B项“Now I realize depression does not go away by practicing a single exercise.”可以做本段的主题句。故选B。
