At the time there were just four left in the wild, making it the rarest bird on Earth. However, he stayed, using the techniques of captive breeding (人工繁殖), which involved snatching eggs from the birds nests and hatching（孵化）them under incubators, prompting the mothers to lay another set of eggs in the wild.A decade later, the number of Mauritius kestrels had soared to over 300 and today there are around 400 in the wild. The biologist has also been necessary in efforts to bring other rare species back from the edge of extinction, including the pink pigeon, echo parakeet and Rodrigues warbler.Prof Jones was awarded the $250,000 (172,000) prize at a ceremony in London.“As a young man in my 20s, I certainly didnt enjoy the stress and the tension of the criticism I received,” reflecting on the start of his career, he said the Maurutius kestrel project had been seen as a “dead loss” at the time. In the 1970s there was fierce opposition to the captive breeding techniques, with critics arguing that they were too risky and took the emphasis off breeding in the wild.Prof Jones has devoted his whole life to his work, only becoming a father for the first time eight years ago, at 53. He said receiving the prize was particularly important to him, because it proved that his work to save birds was right.1、What does the underlined word “accolade” mean in Paragraph 2?AreturnBlevelChonorDresearch2、According to the passage, Great Auk is _.Aan endangered birdBan extinct birdCa popular birdDa fierce bird3、What can we know from the figures in Paragraph 4?ATaking eggs from the nests has worked well.BThe wild environment for kestrel has changed a lot.CKestrel has adapted to the life in the wild.DIts difficult to protect kestrel.4、Prof Jones idea of taking eggs from the birds nests _.Awas proved of no useBwas widely acceptedCwas promoted officiallyDwas criticized by some people22（8分） Kids Connect is a camp specifically for children with physical and mild intelligence disabilities aged 9-16 (Single consideration given to those over the age of 16).

It would burn the planet. Thats the conclusion of a paper published in the journal Nature Geoscience and described in detail by Natalie Wolchover for Quanta Magazine.As Wolchover explained, clouds have long been one of the great uncertainties of climate models. Computer models that easily capture the complexity and detail of most climate systems just arent powerful enough to predict worldwide changes in cloud behavior. But clouds are important. They reflect sunlight away from the earths surface. And stratocumulus clouds are those white blankets you might have seen as you looked out the window of arm airplane, rolling out below you and hiding the ground Researchers suspect that certain sudden, past jumps in temperature may have been caused by changes to clouds like these.For the new research, scientists modeled just a small patch of sky using a supercomputer. They found that if carbon dioxide levels reach about 1, 200 parts per million(ppm) in the atmosphere, stratocumulus clouds break up. Thats a very high carbon dioxide concentration. Right now, levels have climbed past 410 ppm-a dangerous change from 280 ppm before the Industrial Revolution.But humans put more and more CO2 into the atmosphere every year. If current trends continue, the earth could reach 1, 200 ppm within 100 to 150 years. This could happen if our society doesnt follow through on any of its commitments to reduce emissions(排放), Wolchover reported. And even if it does, the result would be another 8 degrees Celsius of heat added to the global average, on top of the dangerous changes already underway due to greenhouse gases.Thats an enormous change, and it goes beyond predictions of worldwide ice melt and catastrophic sea level rise. And, once the stratocumulus clouds are gone, Wolchover reported, they likely wouldnt reappear until atmospheric carbon dioxide levels dropped below where they are currently.Theres still some uncertainty in the data. The 1, 200 ppm figure could change as scientists look into the issue further.1、What can we learn from paragraph 2?AMost climate systems are not complex.BCloud behavior is uncertain and hard to predict.CTemperature changes affect the stratocumulus clouds.DThe stratocumulus clouds protect planes from sunlight.2、How did the scientists study clouds in the new research?ABy measuring the sea level.BBy experimenting in a natural state.CBy comparing climate models.DBy computer modeling and analyzing.3、What does it refer to in paragraph 4?AThe atmosphere.BThe earth.COur society.DThe result.4、Which of the following statements would Wolchover most probably agree with?AThe effects of CO2 emissions have been fully assessed.BThe stratocumulus clouds wont return if they are gone.CThe breakup of stratocumulus clouds could result in catastrophes.DOnce CO2 level reaches 1, 200 ppm, stratocumulus clouds will go extinct.24（8分） Fifty years ago I had a young family of three boys. My husband Johnny and I left them with a friend while we made a rare trip to the cinema in Liverpool.It was dark and pouring with rain but with the headlights shining on the road, we saw something ahead of us. Johnny pulled to a stop and I jumped out, ran to the grass edge and grabbed a small, wet, and frightened creature. I wrapped it safely in my woollen hat and insisted that my husband turn back and head for home. We thought it was a baby rabbit because it had long ears and was grayish-brown in colour. Once home, we filled a box with torn-up newspaper and a warm towel. We named our new animal Bobsy as we had no idea of its sex.Sadly though, on the third day with us, it caught its back foot in a door and we quickly realised it was broken. We rushed to the vet(兽医), who said, “Its only a rabbit, Ill put it to sleep.” Our response was a very determined, “No way !”We found anther vet and told that she was a baby hare. We were told we should continue to keep her in her box for a week and her foot would heal.After her recovery, Bobsy learnt to use the kitty litter tray. She would comb her long ears with her front paws. The local paper heard about this and came to our house to take her photo and write a story about her. We had her for seven wonderful years before we moved to New Zealand and we will never forget her.1、Why did Johnny stop his car suddenly?AHe came across a friend.BThe headlights went out.CHis car broke down on the road.DHe noticed something in front of him.2、What happened to the little animal on its third day?AIt slept on a door.BIt was stuck in a door.CIts foot got seriously injured.DIt fell off from the top of a door.3、Which best decribes the familys attitude towards the rabbit?AConsiderate.BCruel.CHopeless.DIndifferent.4、What is the passage mainly intended to do?ATo tell the importance of protecting small animals.BTo remember unusual experiences with a small rabbit.CTo persuade people to give generously and receive thankfully.DTo make the rabbit widely known to local people by paper.25（10分） Parents tend to favour children of one sex in certain situations or so evolutionary biologists tell us. A new study used colored backpack sales data to show that parental wealth may influence spending on sons different from daughters.In 1973 biologist Robert Trivers and computer scientist Dan Willard published a paper suggesting that parents invest(投入)more resources, such as food and effort, in male children when times are good, and in female children when times are bad. According to the Trivers-Willard hypothesis(假说), a son given lots of resources can become a gentleman but parents with few resources tend to invest them in daughters, who generally find it easier to be a fair maiden.Studying parental investment after birth is difficult, however. The new study looked for a standard of measurement of such investment that met several criteria: it shouldnt be affected by sex differences in the need for resources; it should measure investment rather than outcomes; and it should be objective.Study author Shige Song, a sociologist at Queens College, City University of New York, examined spending on pink and blue backpacks purchased in China in 2015 from a large retailer, JDcom. He narrowed the data to about 5, 000 bags: blue backpacks bought by families known to have at least one boy and pink ones bought by families known to have at least one girl. The results showed that wealthier families spent more on blue than pink backpacks suggesting greater investment in sons. Poorer families spent more on pink packs than blue ones. The findings were published in Evolution and Human Behavior.Songs evidence for the Trivers-Willard hypothesis is “indirect” but “pretty convincing,” says Rosemary Hopcroft, a sociologist at the. University of North Carolina at Charlotte, who was not connected with the new study. Hopcroft reported in 2016 that U. S. fathers with high-status occupations were more likely to send their sons to priv
