Rlland and Adeline are prud parents t nine beautiful children. Their yungest tw, daughter Lant, and sn, Rindra, were bth brn with cleft lip
(唇裂) cnditins. In Madagascar, many families have never seen a cleft lip befre, s it’s a cnditin ften greeted with fear and misfrtune in sme
rural cmmunities.
Hwever, the news f Lant and Rindra’s cleft lip wasn’t much f a shck fr Rlland and Adeline because Rlland’s cusin—a man in his fifties
—had lived his entire adult life with an untreated cleft lip. Althugh seeing a relative with a cleft lip meant the family weren’t fearful f the cnditin,
they knew the negative impact an untreated cleft lip can have n a persn’s health and life. As all lving parents wuld, Rlland and Adeline wanted a
better future fr their children.
Rlland heard an advertisement n the radi abut an Operatin Smile surgical prgramme in Antsirabe, Madagascar. Finding ut that Rindra and
Lant culd have the cleft lip surgery they needed, fr free, was a dream fr the family. Unlike here in the UK, health services aren’t free in many parts
f the wrld, and the csts f treatment—r even travelling t reach medical facilities—are ut f reach fr mst families.
When Rlland and his children arrived at the patient village, they were surprised t see s many ther families in the same psitin. After a thrugh
medical evaluatin by medical vlunteers, Lant was fund t be fit enugh fr surgery, and later gt the new smile her parents had dreamed f fr her.

Fr almst a century, Ecuadr’s giant trtises (陆龟) have been prtected. These species are ne f the largest living reptiles (爬行动物) n the
planet. They live a very lng life—the ldest trtise n recrd was 175 years ld. And, they all live n the Galapags Islands.
Hunting the trtises is illegal under Ecuadr’s laws, but nw the Attrney General’s ffice has pened an investigatin int the remains f fur
trtises that were fund in the park. Trtise meat is cnsidered delicius, meaning there can be large financial gains made by wildlife hunters. “This is
nt an islated incident,” said the Galápags Cnservancy, a US-based cnservatin rganizatin in a statement. “In September 2021, the remains f
15 critically endangered giant trtises frm the subspecies Chelnidisguntheri were fund n Isabela. Evidence frm the investigatin shwed that the
reptiles had likely been hunted fr cnsumptin.”
The islands are cnsidered ne f the wrld’s best places t see wildlife, and they’re hme t animal and plant species that are fund nwhere
else in the wrld. The famusly fearless wildlife is believed t have been a surce f inspiratin fr Darwin’s thery f evlutin, fllwing his visit t
the islands in 1835. The islands were actually discvered by accident in 1535, when a Spanish ship was blwn ff curse while sailing frm Panama t
Peru. Ridiculusly enugh, the ship’s captain was unimpressed by the islands, writing t the king that they were “wrthless”.
In late August, a special unit fr envirnmental crime traveled t the Galápags Islands t investigate and interview park keepers abut the incident.
And when the keepers discvered fur animal bdies n Isabela Island, just a few mnths after the discvery f 15 dead trtises, envirnmentalists
were shcked. There were nce at least 250,000 trtises n the islands. But nw there are nly fewer than 15,000 in the wild tday, and tw subspecies
are already extinct. “Evidence frm the 2021 investigatin shwed that the reptiles had likely been hunted fr cnsumptin,” Galapags Cnservancy
cntinued. “Therefre, it cmes as n surprise that many are wrried that their ppulatin will cntinue t decrease if serius actin isn’t taken
sn.”
【小题1】What des the underlined wrd “This” in paragraph 2 refer t?
A．The lng life f the giant trtises.
B．The hunting f the trtises in the park.
C．The fd cnsumptin f the trtises.
D．The investigatin int the remains f the trtises.
【小题2】Why is Darwin’s thery f evlutin mentined in paragraph 3?
A．T shw the value f the islands.
B．T criticize the captain’s ignrance.
D．T raise peple’s awareness f prtecting the islands.
C．T present Darwin’s great achievements.
【小题3】What des the authr say abut the trtises in the last paragraph?
A．It is nt surprising that they are dying ut.
B．The ppulatin f them is n the sharp decline.
D．They have been s ppular because f their meat.
C．Strict measures have been taken t prtect them.
【小题4】Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the text?
A．Reptiles Face Extinctin in a Park f Ecuadr
B．Hw Are Galápags Giant Trtises Well Prtected?
C．Hunting Threatens Galápags Giant Trtises’ Survival
D．Why Are Galápags Giant Trtises Called Fearless Reptiles?
Scientists have lng believed that Mars was wet arund three billin years ag and then lst much f its water. But a new study presents evidence f
water activity frm abut 700 millin years ag, psing a new puzzle abut Mars and its histry fr scientists t crack in their future studies.

The new study is based n data frm China’s Zhurng rver (“祝融号”火星车), part f the Tianwen-1 missin that tuched dwn n the surface f
Mars in May 2021. In particular, the scientists used data the rver gathered during its first 92 Martian days, at its landing site in Utpia Planitia. Yang Liu,
a researcher frm the Chinese Academy f Sciences(CAS), and his clleagues analyzed data frm three different instruments n Zhurng. Thse
instruments studied minerals that suggest the presence f a large quantity f liquid water at the site abut 700 millin years ag, which scientists
previusly thught was dry.
“This is a very interesting result. We have very little recrded evidence f yung liquid water systems n Mars. And fr the nes we have, they were
usually in the frm f salt minerals,” says Dr. Scheller, a scientist at the Califrnia Institute f Technlgy. He explained Zhurng’s instruments sptted
water mlecules lcked away in the rck, which was different frm ther yung liquid water envirnments that have been bserved.
“One f the majr things we’ll have t find ut and that I lk frward t seeing frm the Zhurng rver is hw extensive these ‘yung’ water-
bearing minerals are,” Dr. Scheller said. “Are they cmmn r uncmmn in these ‘yung’ rcks?” Zhurng has nw cvered abut tw kilmeters
during its mre than 350 Martian days and has analyzed a range f features n its travels, meaning mre new Martian insights are likely still t cme
frm the rver.
NASA has s far sent its Mars rvers t ancient landing sites, dating back t mre than 3.7 billin years ag. Zhurng is nt just an extra set f
wheels n Mars, but a pwerful suite f instruments explring a new, gelgically yung site t pen new windws f pprtunity fr research n Mars.
【小题1】What des the underlined wrd “crack” in paragraph 1 mean?
A．Keep.
B．Dubt.
C．Slve.
D．Create.
【小题2】What des the new study shw accrding t paragraph 2?
A．The inaccuracy f data gathered n Mars.
B．Functinal limitatins f instruments n Mars.
C．Main reasns fr the failure f the Tianwen-1 missin.
D．The miscnceptin f past thinking abut Martian water.
【小题3】Which f the fllwing des Dr. Scheller cnvey?
A．The result has been recrded by many scientists.
B．Zhurng’s wide analyses will bring mre surprises.
C．Salt minerals are yunger than water-bear ing minerals.
D．Yung water-bearing minerals are cmmn in yung rcks.
【小题4】Which wrd can best describe Zhurng?
A．Ancient.
B．Cmmn.
C．Alarming.
D．Prmising.

Tripd’s stry started ne spring mrning as I was finishing a mrning surgery at the veterinary clinic (兽医诊所) I wned. I was writing up medical
recrds f the surgery patients when my receptinist (接待员) stuck her head int my ffice. She tld me there was a big cat lying utside with a seriusly
injured frnt leg. What’s wrse, nbdy knew whm it belnged t.
Then I sent tw f my pre-vet students t pick up the pr cat while I went back t my recrd-keeping. But it wasn’t lng befre I heard the
students returning with this newest patient wh seemed t be in pretty bad cnditin.
I carefully checked up the injuries which seemed t be caused by the pressing f a heavy bject. With the extremely hrrible smell, I knew frm years
f experience this cat didn’t have an wner. “Well, then,” I sighed, “I’m nt sure whether we are able t bring this cat back t life, but let’s give
him ur best sht anyway. Afterwards, let’s see if we can find a hme fr him. ”

Just then, when ne f the students began tuching the cat’s head gently, smewhere deep in the cat’s thrat, a weak purr (呼噜声) began. As the
student cntinued t pet the cat, I nticed the cat’s breathing became less labured (缓慢而困难的).
When I perfrmed the cmplicated peratin, I whispered, “Yu’re a fighter, aren’t yu, by? Yu deserve a chance t live.” Hwever, after the
surgery, he lst ne leg, and still struggled with life and death. Over the next few weeks, Tripd, the cat, went thrugh many ups and dwns, but I was
sure abut his resilience (快速恢复的能力). News abut Tripd spread. A number f custmers stpped by regularly t check n the prgress f his
recvery, including Mrs Melsn, a pet lver.
