A million, it is enough to make most scream. Some species are becoming extinct because of poaching （偷猎）.Even Namibia, which has a spectacular conservation record, hasn't been safe from that. Since 2015, poaching has caused the loss of 50 black rhinos （犀牛）annually in Namibia.Globally, there is a $ 23-billion-a-year trade in illegal wildlife products. Driven by a demand in some countries, where the rhino horn（角）is thought to be a cure for some diseases, it sells for up to $ 100,000 per kilo on the black market. This illegal trade is making some people very rich, but it isn't for rural Africans. Here, poor people are convinced to trade the life of a rhino for a few hundred dollars, which may bring the possibility of years in prison. In fact, rhino horn is made mostly of keratin(角蛋白), the same substance as found in our fingernails and hair.To help slow down this reality, I took a trip to Namibia, determined to make a difference to black rhino conservation. The first stop, Mount Etjo Safari Lodge, was where I heard Nossi's story. Nossi, a black rhino, was born in Etosha National Park, a place where my parents and I spent many holidays when I was young. When Nossi was born, her mother was stressed and pushed her around. By the time the vet (兽医) arrived, Nossi only had a 10% chance of survival. With massive investment of time, energy and care, Nossi survived and, last year, she gave birth to her eighth child. In a population in danger of extinction, this represents an important increase in the world's black rhino population. All of these efforts have paid off and I learned that my support matters. Your support matters too. Because together, we can save the rhino. Together, it is likely that we can change the world.56．What does the first paragraph try to tell us?A．The problem of species extinction has been solved.B．The problem of species extinction is serious,C．Namibia has an excellent conservation record.D．It's easy to stop the extinction of species.57．Why do rhino horns sell well on the black market?A．They are believed to cure some diseases.B．They can make people live much longer.C．They can replace some kinds of metals.D．They have made most poor Africans rich.58．What can you learn about rural Africans from the passage?A. Poaching rhinos made them very rich.B. Some poor people are convinced to protect rhinos.C. Some of them need to trade the life of a rhino for a few hundred dollars.D. Some of them killed rhinos and are at the risk of being imprisoned.59．Why did Nossi nearly die at birth?A．Her mother had little milk for her.B．The weather was very terrible that day.C．There was no good medicine at that time.D．She was pushed around by her mother.60．What can be the best title for the text?A．The urgent effort to save black rhinosB．The protection of wildlifeC．A wildlife reserve in NamibiaD．The story about young black rhino NossiCMy twin sister is in therapy (治疗). The other day, she missed an important appointment for no good reason. My therapist said it was “time blindness”.I’m living in New York, 3,000 miles away from my twin. We video chat every day, but I haven’t seen her in person since Christmas.Time blindness is a term invented by doctors who treat people with ADHD (注意缺陷多动障碍). Psychologist Ari Tuckman says adults typically develop an awareness of time and an ability to track its passing. Some people have what he calls “harder” or “sharper” time awareness: they know when they’ve been out for lunch for too long, or when something hasn’t been in the oven for long enough. The others have much “softer” time awareness: they can miss appointments and trains. Time blindness can greatly impact someone's life if they can't ever meet deadlines. People with ADHD are often more time-blind than others.Besides our own time awareness, Tuckman says, context plays a role: sleep loss, anxiety, being drunk and anything that might impact how we process the world can make us feel more time-blind. Without the usual time-marker cues we might use to divide up our days — the school bus arriving, the line at the coffee shop, or weekend nights spent at restaurants with friends — we’re swimming in a sea of sameness.Sorrow is one of the biggest causes of time blindness, according to Tuckman. Holding onto time is a skill of your mind, like doing math, and sadness reduces its computing strength. It's why time goes faster when I talk to my twin sister, when I’m not so sad.Tuckman says it might be nice for more people to understand time blindness.61．What do we know about the author and her sister?A．She is not optimistic about her sister’s health.B．It has been years since they chatted in person.C．She has learned her sister’s illness is less serious.D．She chats with her sister every day.62．What are people having harder time awareness like according to Tuckman?A．They are often productive in a limited time.B．They tend to spend less time in having lunch.C．They are good at keeping track of time passing.D．They usually need stronger time management.63．What does the underlined phrase “time-marker cues” in paragraph 4 refer to?A．Troubles we are suffering from.B．Ordinary activities in our daily life.C．Activities in our home.D．The same things we share regularly.64．Which of the following can cause time blindness most easily?A．Sadness. B．Deep thought.C．Surprise. D．Hard-work.65. What can you learn about time blindness from the passage?A. It can greatly impact someone's life if they can’t meet deadlines occasionally.B. Without time-marker cues, we may feel time-blind.C. Time blindness is due to contextual factors like sleep loss, anxiety and so on.D. Time blindness is a genetic disease that needs to be treated.第 = 3 \* ROMAN \* MERGEFORMAT III卷（非选择题）写作第一节 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。Bethany Hamilton has become a source of inspiration for millions through her story of faith, determination and hope. And now her story has become a major movie which is entitled Soul Surfer.Born into a family of surfers on February 8, 1990, on the island of Kauai Hawaii, Bethany began surfing at a young age. At the age of eight, Bethany entered her first surf competition---- winning both the short and long board divisions and sparking a love for surf competition within her spirit.On October 31, 2003, at the age of 13. Bethany was attacked by a 14-foot tiger shark while surfing just off the shore of Hawaii. Bethany said, “It came out of the blue. I had no warning at all; not even the slightest sign of danger on the horizon. The waves were small and inconsistent, and I was just kind of rolling along with them, relaxing on my board with my left arm dangling (悬摆) in the cool water. I remember thinking, ‘I hope the surf picks up soon...’”“That's all it took: a split second. I felt a lot of pressure and a couple of lightning fast tugs(猛拽) .Then I watched in shock as the water around me turned bright red. Somehow, I stayed calm. My left arm was gone along with a huge piece of my surfboard...”Her friends had to get her to the beach which took 20 minutes of paddling. After losing more than 40 percent of her blood and making it through several surgeries, Bethany was well on her way to recovery due to an unbelievably positive attitude.In January 2004, Bethany made her return to surf competition and with no intention of stopping, Bethany continued to enter and shine in competitions. Initially, she adopted a custom-made board that was longer and slightly thicker than standard and had a handle for her right arm, making it easier to paddle, and she learned to kick more to make up for the loss of her left arm. Just over a year after the attack, she took first place---- winning her first National Title. Now she competes with the world's best and travels the globe.66.
