A.
On a freezing cold day in January 1994, Jiesang Suonandajie found what he was looking for — a group of poachers who were killing the endangered Tibetan antelope. Jiesang knew he had to move quickly. He shouted to the poachers to put down their guns. Although surprised, the poachers had an advantage — there were more of them. In the battle which followed Jiesang was shot and killed. When his frozen body was found hours later, he was still holding his gun. He had given his life to save the Tibetan antelope.
At the beginning of the twentieth century there were millions of antelopes on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. By the 1990s the number had fallen to about 50,000. The reason is simple: the wool of the Tibetan antelope is the most expensive in the world. It is soft, light, and warm — the ideal coat for an animal which has to survive at high altitudes. A shawl made from the wool (known as "shahtoosh", or "king of wools" in Persian) can sell for five thousand dollars. For poachers the profits can be huge.
Often working at night, the poachers shoot whole herds of antelopes at a time, leaving only the babies, whose wool is not worth so much. The animals are skinned on the spot and the wool taken to India, where it is made into the shawls. From there, it is exported to rich countries in North America and Europe. The business is completely illegal — there has been a ban on the trade since 1975. But in the 1990s the shawls came into fashion among rich people. A police raid on a shop in London found 138 shawls. About 1,000 antelopes — or 2 percent of the world's population — had been killed to make them.
In the 1990s the Chinese government began to take an active part in protecting the antelopes in the Hoh Xil Nature Reserve — the huge national park on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, which is the main habitat of the antelopes. Over the next ten years about 3,000 poachers were caught and 300 vehicles confiscated. Sometimes there were gunfights, like the one in which Jiesang Suonandajie was killed.
But today the government seems to be winning the battle. The number of poachers has fallen. The small group of officials who work in the reserve are helped by volunteers who come from all over the country, and who are ready for the difficult conditions of life at 5,000 metres. Meanwhile, in those countries where the shawls are sold, police are getting tough with the dealers. International co-operation seems to be working. Since 1997 the antelope population has slowly begun to grow again.

C. He had an accident in his jeep.
22. Why are Tibetan antelopes in danger?
A. They have lost their natural habitat.
B. They are killed for their wool

23. What has the Chinese government done to help the antelopes?
A. It is protecting the antelope in a nature reserve
B. It has sent police to countries where “shahtoosh” is sold.
C. It has closed the border with India.

C. It has become harder to sell “shahtoosh.”
25. What will happen to the Tibetan antelope?

Words , words , words
British and American English are different in many ways. The first and most obvious way is the vocabulary. There are hundreds of different words which are not used on the other side of the Atlantic, or which are used with a different meaning. Some of these words are well known—Americans drive automobiles down freeways and fill up with gas; the British drive cars along motorways and fill up with petrol. As a tourist, you will need to use the underground in London or subway in New York , or maybe you will prefer to get around the town by taxi ( British) or cab ( American).
Chips or French fries?
But other words and expressions are not so well known. Americans use a flashlight , while for the British , it’s a torch. The British queue up ; Americans stand in line. Sometimes the same word has a slightly different meaning, which can be confusing. Chips , for example , are pieces of hot fried potato inn Britain; in the States chips are very thin and are sold in packets. The British call these crisps. The chips the British know and love are French fries on the other side of the Atlantic.
Have or have got?
There are a few differences in grammar, too. The British say Have you got~~~? While Americans prefer Do you have~~~? An American might say My friend just arrived , but a British person would say My friend has just arrived. Prepositions , too , can be different: compare on the team, on the weekend ( American) with in the team , at the weekend ( British). The British use prepositions where Americans sometimes omit them ( I’ll see you Monday; Write me soon!).
Colour or color?
The other two areas in which the two varieties differ are spelling and pronunciation. American spelling seems simpler: center, color and program instead of centre, colour and programme . Many factors have influenced American pronunciation since the first settlers arrived four hundred years ago. The accent, which is most similar to British English, can be heard on the East Coast of the US. When the Irish writer George Bernard Shaw made the famous remark that the British and the Americans are two nations divided by a common language, he was obviously thinking about the differences. But are they really so important? After all, there is probably as much variation of pronunciation within the two countries as between them. A Londoner has more difficulty understanding a Scotsman from Glasgow than understanding a New Yorker.
Turn on the TV
Some experts believe that the two varieties are moving closer together. For more than a century communications across the Atlantic have developed steadily. Since the 1980s, with satellite TV and the Internet, it has been possible to listen to British and American English at the flick of a switch. This non—stop communication, the experts think, has made it easier for British people and Americans understand each other. But it has also led to lots of American words and structures passing into British English, so that some people now believe that British English will disappear.
However, if you turn on CNN, the American TV network, you find newsreaders and weather forecasters all speaking with different accents--- American, British, Australian, and even Spanish. One of the best—know faces, Montia Rajpal, was born in Hong Kong, China, and grew up speaking Chinese and Punjabi , as well as English.
This international dimension suggests that in the future, there are going to be many “Englishes” , not just two main varieties. But the message is “ Don’t worry.” Users of English will all be able to understand each other—wherever they are.
26.There are _________ differences between American and British varieties of English
A. no B. a few C. lots of
27.American spelling is __________ British spelling.
A. the same way B. simpler than C. harder than
28.Why are the two varieties moving closer together? ____________
A. Because communications across the Atlantic have developed steadily.
B. Because satellite TV and the Internet have been used in communication.
C. Because modern transportation is making the world smaller.
D. All of the above.
29.For a Londoner, an American accent may be easier to understand than__________.
A. a Chinese accent B. some British accents C. a CNN newsreader
30. Television and the Internet have made it ___ for the British and Americans to understand each other.
A. harder B. easier C. impossible
C.
In the animal kingdom, weakness can bring about aggression in other animal. This sometimes happens with humans also. But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people. I see it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat. And I have discovered that it makes them happy.
From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, bur sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily. They don’t get to see this soft side of others often, we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending. But only when we stop pretending we’re brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that’s in them.
Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual. People behind me began to get impatient and angry, with some speeding up alongside me, horning (按喇叭) or even shouting at me. At the moment I decided to do something I had never done in twenty fore years of driving. I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.
No more angry shouts and no more horns!
When I put on my flashlights, I was saying to other drivers, “I have a problem here. I am weak and doing the best I can.” And everyone understood. Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pass. They couldn’t get around me because of the stream of passing traffic. But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.
Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don’t feel that way. But those are and far between. More often, it would be better if we don’t pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared.

C. some people pretend to be kind
D. some people fail to see the kindness in others

A. They speed up to pass. B. They waited with patience.
C. They tried their best to help. D. They put on their flashlights too.
34.. In this passage, the author advises us to ______.
A. handle problems by ourselves B. accept help from others
