In shallow coastal waters of the Indian Ocean, Dugong, a kind of sea cow, is in trouble. Environmental problems pose such a major threat to its survival that the International Union for Conservation of Nature(IUCN) upgraded the species' extinction risk status(地位) to vulnerable(脆弱的).

Much worse, Dugongs are at risk of losing the protection of the Torres Strait Islanders, who have looked after them historically, hunting them for food sustainably and monitoring their numbers. These native people keep their biodiversity, and have deep knowledge about their environment. But these people are also threatened, in part because rising sea levels are making it difficult for them to live there.

This situation isn't unique to Dugongs. A global analysis of 385 culturally important plant and animal species found 68 percent were both biologically vulnerable and at risk of losing their cultural protection.

The findings clearly illustrate that biology shouldn't be the primary factor in shaping conservation policy, says anthropologist Victoria Reyes-García. When a culture declines, the species that are important to that culture are also threatened. "Lots of conservationists think we need to separate people from nature," says Reyes-García. "But that strategy misses the caring relationship many cultural groups have with nature."

One way to help shift conservation efforts is to give species a "bio-cultural status," which would provide a fuller picture of their vulnerability. In the study, the team used a new way to determine a species' risk of disappearing: the more a cultural group's language use declines, the more that culture is threatened. The more a culture is threatened, the more culturally vulnerable its important species are. Researchers then combined a species' cultural and biological vulnerability to arrive at its bio-cultural status. In the Dugong's case, its bio-cultural status is endangered, meaning it is more at risk than its IUCN categorization suggests.

This new approach to conservation involves people that have historically cared for them. It can highlight when communities need support to continue their care. Scientists hope it will bring more efforts that recognize local communities' rights and encourage their participation-taking advantage of humans' connection with nature instead of creating more separation.

4.  What is the relationship between the native people and Dugongs?

A. The native people help conserve Dugongs.
B. The native people train Dugongs to survive.
C. Dugongs ruin the native people's environment.
D. Dugongs force the native people to leave home.

5.  Which statement will Reyes-García probably agree with?

A. The protection policy is used incorrectly.
B. Culture is connected to species' existence.
C. Many groups take good care of each other.
D. Conservationists prefer nature over people.

6.  How is the study method different from previous ones?

A. It involves more preservation efforts.
B. It relies on the IUCN's classification.
C. It highlights the effect of human languages.
D. It assesses the biological influence of a species.

7.  What is the author's attitude towards the latest approach?

A. Conservative. B. Favourable. C. Critical. D. Ambiguous.

C

     Jobs that use both technical and creative thinking are among the fastest-growing and highest-paying ones, according to a new report from Burning Glass Technologies, a job market analytic company in Boston.

     It studied millions of job postings to better understand the skills companies require. What they discovered was that many want workers with experience in such new abilities as big-data gathering and analytic, or design using digital technology.

    Burning Glass came up with the term "hybrid jobs" to describe these kinds of positions, which require skills not normally found together. For example, these hybrid jobs might require people with skills in data science and advertising, or engineering and sales. "The jobs of the future don't involve just one skill," says Matt Sigelman, chief manager of Burning Glass.

     The company expects general job growth of about 10% between 2018 and 2028, but the hybrid jobs by 21%. What's more, hybrid jobs pay more than positions that call for a traditional set of skills. For example, a marketing manager mastering a database program gets paid 41% more than a traditional one, with an average yearly salary of＄100,000. Moreover, an engineer who improves her sales skills and becomes a consulting engineer for a software company can more than double her pay from＄180,000 to＄400,000.

      While data shows that workers who fail to update their skills will be able to find fewer jobs, people in hybrid jobs are less likely to become out of date, with only 12% possibility of being replaced by machine, compared with 42% for general jobs, says Burning Glass. Hybrid jobs are mostly not beginner roles, so they mainly go to workers with years of experience and, most importantly, more training after leaving college. That means workers, bosses and educators will have to think about how to better prepare people for these roles.

8.  Why did the company research into job advertisements?

A. To understand the growth of best paid workers.
B. To compare workers experience with new abilities.
C. To find out companies' requirements about skills.
D. To tell the possible changes in future job market.

9.  Which of the following jobs can be hybrid?

A. Data engineer. B. Machine operator.
C. Marketing manager. D. Medical consultant.

10.  How much is a traditional marketing manager possibly paid every year?

A. $180,000. B. $71,000. C. $41,000. D. $10,000.

11.  Which of the following is the best title for this passage?

A. Future Jobs Requiring "Hybrid" Skills.
B. How to Get Trained for Jobs.
C. Tips on Finding Fastest-Growing Jobs.
D. The Jobs with Highest Pay.

D

    Art and science may seem like opposite things. One means the creative flow of ideas, and the other means cold, hard data—some people believe. In fact, the two have much in common. Now, a study finds art can help students remember better what they learned in science class.
    Mariale Hardiman, an education specialist at Johns Hopkins University, noticed that students who used art in the classroom listened more carefully. They might ask more questions. They might volunteer more ideas. What 's more, students seemed to remember more of what they had been taught when their science lessons had involved(涉及) art. To prove that, Hardiman teamed up with some researchers and six local schools.
    In the experiment, the researchers worked with teachers in 16 fifth-grade classrooms. They provided traditional science lessons and art-focused ones. In a traditional science class, for example, students might read aloud from a book. In the art-focused one, they might sing the information instead.
   The team randomly assigned(随机分配) each of the 350 students to either a traditional science classroom or an art-focused one. Students then learned science using that way for the whole unit—about three weeks. When they changed to a new topic, they also changed to the other type of class. This way, each student had both an art-focused class and a traditional one. Every unit was taught in both ways, to different groups of students. This enabled the researchers to see how students did in both types of classes.
  The team found that students who started off in traditional classes performed better after they moved into an art-focused class. But those who started in an art-focused class did well even when they went back to a traditional science class. These students appeared.to use some of the art techniques(技巧) after going back to a traditional class. Classroom teachers reported that many students continued to sing the songs that they learned after finishing the unit. "The more we hear something, the more we retain it." Hardiman says. "It suggests that the arts may help students apply creative ways of learning on their own."

12.  Why did Mariale Hardiman do the study?

A. To prove the importance of art at school.
B. To know how to encourage students to ask questions.
C. To find a way to help her students learn better.
D. To see if art might improve science learning.

13.  What were the students required to do in the experiment?

A. Learn three units in total.
B. Choose what they'd like to learn.
C. Learn two topics for three weeks.
D. Take two types of classes.

14.  What does the underlined word "retain" in the last paragraph mean?

A. Remember. B. Express. C. Improve. D. Finish.

15.  What is the text mainly about?

A. Art helps students develop creativity.
B. Art-focused classes interest students a lot.
C. Art can make science easier to remember.
D. Art has something in common with science.

第二节（共25分）阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。   

"Mom!" I screamed as I looked through the window, "Why is my Ink Spot siting in Mrs. Cleary's window?"
    Mom pushed past me to confirm it. Sure enough, across the street was Ink Spot cleaning himself in the window of Mrs. Cleary's sitting room. I couldn't believe my eyes. He was my cat, not Mrs. Cleary's. She had already adopted ten cats. Why must she keep my cat? I could feel anger boiling up inside me. Meanwhile, Ink Spot's leaving without any signs upset me. A sense of being left out hit me hard.
    Ink Spot was special for me. After my baby sister's birth, "my" parents' time was taken by her. It seemed no one in the family cared about or even noticed me. Worse still, I was packed off to a kindergarten. I hated being left out from the bottom of my heart.
     It was when mom noticed me weeping in a corner one night that things began to change. After that, Ink Spot came into my life. Every night, he curled(卷曲) up beside me in bed and he was there for me after school when I raced home just to be with him. 
    I fell in love with Ink Spot the first time I saw this tiny black and white kitten, for which I called him Ink Spot. Mom and daddy beamed with pleasure as my eyes danced with joy again. It was the first time that I had smiled since my little baby sister came into the family. As for me, he was more than a cat. Actually, he was my life.
      But today when I came home, Ink Spot was in Mrs. Cleary's window. I wanted him back. But mom insisted that if Ink Spot stayed at Mrs. Cleary's, that meant it was where he wanted to be. "No! Mom, Ink Spot is my cat!" I protested wildly but I had to admit the truth of mom's words. Standing on the sidewalk, I was at a loss as to what to do. Staring at Ink Spot for a while, I couldn't stand the anger any longer.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

  I walked towards Mrs. Cleary's house hurriedly and knocked at the door angrily.
                                                                                                 
                                                                                                 
Upon seeing me, Ink Spot jumped off the window, running towards me in a flash.
