Port Lympne Reserve, which runs a breeding(繁育)programme, has welcomed the arrival of a rare black rhino calf(犀牛幼崽).When the tiny creature arrived on January 31, she became the 40th black rhino to be born at the reserve. And officials at Port Lympne were delighted with the new arrival, especially as black rhinos are known for being difficult to breed in captivity(圈養(yǎng)).

Paul Beer, head of rhino section at Port Lympne, said: “Obviously we’re all absolutely delighted to welcome another calf to our black rhino family. She’s healthy, strong and already eager to play and explore. Her mother, Solio, is a first-time mum and she is doing a fantastic job. It’s still a little too cold for them to go out into the open, but as soon as the weather warms up, I have no doubt that the little one will be out and about exploring and playing every day.”

The adorable female calf is the second black rhino born this year at the reserve, but it is too early to tell if the calves will make good candidates to be returned to protected areas of the wild. The first rhino to be born at Port Lympne arrived on January 5 to first-time mother Kisima and weighed about 32 kg. His mother, grandmother and great grandmother were all born at the reserve and still live there.

According to the World Wildlife Fund, the global black rhino population has dropped as low as 5500, giving the rhinos a “critically endangered” status.

4. Which of the following best describes the breeding programme?

A. Costly. B. Controversial. C. Ambitious. D. Successful.

5. What does Paul Beer say about the new-born rhino?

C. She is in good condition. D. She is sensitive to heat.

6. What similar experience do Solio and Kisima have?

A. They had their first born in January. B. They enjoyed exploring new places.

C. They lived with their grandmothers. D. They were brought to the reserve young.

7. What can be inferred about Porn Lympne Reserve?

D. Some of its rhinos may be sent to the protected wild areas.

When I was 9, we packed up our home in Los Angeles and arrived at Heathrow, London on a gray January morning. Everyone in the family settled quickly into the city except me. Without my beloved beaches and endless blue-sky days, I felt at a loss and out of place. Until I made a discovery.

Southbank, at an eastern bend in the Thames, is the center of British skateboarding, where the continuous crashing of skateboards left your head ringing .I loved it. I soon made friends with the local skaters. We spoke our own language. And my favorite: Safe. Safe meant cool. It meant hello. It meant don’t worry about it. Once, when trying a certain trick on the beam(橫桿), I fell onto the stones, damaging a nerve in my hand, and Toby came over, helping me up: Safe, man. Safe. A few minutes later, when I landed the trick, my friends beat their boards loud, shouting: “ Safe! Safe! Safe!” And that’s what mattered — landing tricks, being a good skater.

When I was 15, my family moved to Washington. I tried skateboarding there, but the locals were far less welcoming. Within a couple of years, I’d given it up.

When I returned to London in 2004, I found myself wandering down to Southbank, spending hours there. I’ve traveled back several times since, most recently this past spring. The day was cold but clear; tourists and Londoners stopped to watch the skaters. Weaving(穿梭)among the kids who rushed by on their boards, I found my way to the beam. Then a rail-thin teenager, in a baggy white T—shirt, skidded(滑)up to the beam. He sat next to me. He seemed not to notice the man next to him. But soon I caught a few of his glances. “I was a local here 20 years ago,” I told him. Then, slowly, he began to nod his head. “Safe, man. Safe.”

“Yeah,” I said. “Safe.”

8. What can we learn about the author soon after he moved to London?

A. He felt disappointed. B. He gave up his hobby.

C. He liked the weather there. D. He had disagreements with his family.

9. What do the underlined words “Safe! Safe! Safe!” probably mean?

A. Be careful! B. Well done! C. No way! D. Don’t worry!

10. Why did the author like to spend time in Southbank when he returned to London?

A. To join the skateboarding. B. To make new friends.

C. To learn more tricks. D. To relive his childhood days

11. What message does the author seem to convey in the text?

A. Children should learn a second language.

B. Sport is necessary for children’s health.

C. Children need a sense of belonging

D. Seeing the world is a must for children.

D

Who is a genius? This question has greatly interested humankind for centuries.

Let’s state clearly: Einstein was a genius. His face is almost the international symbol for genius. But we want to go beyond one man and explore the nature of genius itself. Why is it that some people are so much more intelligent or creative than the rest of us? And who are they?

In the sciences and arts, those praised as geniuses were most often white men, of European origin. Perhaps this is not a surprise. It’s said that history is written by the victors, and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club — women, or people of a different color or belief — they were unacknowledged and rejected by others.

A study recently published by Science found that as young as age six, girls are less likely than boys to say that members of their gender(性別)are “really, really smart.” Even worse, the study found that girls act on that belief: Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are “really, really smart.” Can our planet afford to have any great thinkers become discouraged and give up? It doesn’t take a genius to know the answer: absolutely not.

Here’s the good news. In a wired world with constant global communication, we’re all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear. And the more we look, the more we will see that social factors(因素)like gender, race, and class do not determine the appearance of genius. As a writer says, future geniuses come from those with “intelligence, creativity, perseverance(毅力), and simple good fortune, who are able to change the world."

12. What does the author think of victors’ standards for joining the genius club?

A. They’re unfair. B. They’re conservative.

C. They’re objective. D. They’re strict.

13. What can we infer about girls from the study in Science?

A. They think themselves smart.

B. They look up to great thinkers.

C. They see gender differences earlier than boys.

D. They are likely to be influenced by social beliefs.

14. Why are more geniuses known to the public?

A. Improved global communication.

B. Less discrimination against women.

C. Acceptance of victors’ concepts.

D. Changes in people’s social positions.

15. What is the best title for the text?

A. Geniuses Think Alike B. Genius Takes Many Forms

C. Genius and Intelligence D. Genius and Luck

Swap, Don’t shop!

You keep hearing about recycling, right? But it doesn’t end with bottles, cans, and paper. Clothing takes a huge amount of natural resources(資源)to make, and buying loads of new clothing(or throwing out old clothing)is not healthy for the environment. So what to do with all those perfectly-good-but-you’re-maybe-a-little-sick-of-them clothes piled on your bedroom floor? 16 . It’s the best way to get rid of your used clothes, score clothes from your friends, and have a party all at the same time.

A successful swap depends on the selection of clothes, the organization of the event, and, obviously, how much fun is had. It’s really easy to do! Here are a few pointers.

●Invite 5—10 people so you have a nice selection. 17 , and there may not be enough things to choose from; more than that, and it becomes uncontrollable.

● 18 . They should also prepare plenty of reusable bags to carry their "new" clothes home.

●Put different types of clothing on different surfaces in the room. 19 . Place a few mirrors around your room so people can see how things look when they try them on. One of the ground rules of the swap should be that everyone must try on the clothes before they take them — things always look different when you put them on.

●Set a starting time. Maybe you say “go,” or turn on a certain song, or whatever. 20 . And don’t forget to put out some cookies and fruits. Remember, it’s a party!

A. Less people than that

B. Hold a clothing swap

C. If two people are competing

D. Just keep music playing throughout

E. Donate whatever clothes are left over

F. Have everyone put their clothes in the right spots

G. Tell everyone to bring clean clothes in good condition

Last week our teacher asked us to fill in a questionnaire. One of the questions are：Who will you go in times of trouble? Here are the results. Many students say they will talk to their friend or classmates because they’re of the same age and can understand each other. Some will turn out to their parents or teachers for help. Only a little choose to deal with the problems on our own. Their answers also show that they dislike talk to others. They kept very much to themselves. In my opinion, where in trouble, we should seek help from those we trust mostly.

高三英語沒有基礎怎么學

1、想提高高三英語成績還要懂得總結和反思，所以建立一個錯題集是必不可免的事情。可以把每次作業(yè)中考試中出現(xiàn)的錯題改正分析后，整理成錯題集。可以定期的拿出來溫習鞏固，對提高完形填空、短文改錯及書面表達水平有很大的作用。高三考試之前也可以著重復習錯題本上的知識點，甚至是只復習錯題本上標注的重點難點，往往可以收到意想不到的效果。

2、每天寫閱讀理解。高三想要學好英語的話，那么應該要堅持每天寫英語閱讀。因為閱讀理解部分里面有非常多的單詞，所以將單詞放在文章中去記憶，那么就會有效很多，因為有一定的語境，而且還有故事的連貫性，所以學習起來效果是很不錯的。因此想要學好英語的話，一定要堅持每天的閱讀。

高三英語提升成績的方法

1、高三英語學習想要提升成績要學會轉變學習方式。學習英語的過程中如果產(chǎn)生厭倦的情緒，那你要變換學習方式了。比如單詞記煩了，你可以讀讀文章;文章讀煩了，你可以聽聽錄音或者聽聽英文歌，等等。一旦發(fā)現(xiàn)自己有厭煩的情緒，就盡量換另外的學習方式，這樣就不會陷入事倍功半的困境。

2重視寫作能力的訓練。為了提高英語作文水平，高三的同學應該記熟詞匯短語，掌握英語寫作的基本句型，包括簡單句的五種基本句型。當能夠較好地掌握這幾種簡單句之后應適當?shù)貜娀⒘芯洌瑥秃暇洹榱烁玫亟o文章潤色，還可以適當?shù)剡\用高級詞匯，非謂語動詞，with結構，強調(diào)句，感嘆句等。

3、高三每天早讀課背英語單詞，背筆記，以及相關單詞的詞組。高三英語其實主要是背單詞，首先把高考的三千五百詞全看一遍，然后再分首字母記憶。估計想要記住這些單詞，可能需要花二個月的早讀課。記住這些單詞的最低標準是看到這個單詞你就能說出它的中文意思。只要有了一些單詞的積累，立馬就能做閱讀理解題了。

怎樣有效的快速的提高英語成績

一、每天要堅持記單詞，背單詞，默寫單詞，因為單詞的記憶是構成英語成績的基礎。當然記單詞的方法有很多種，大家選擇適合自己的方法就好。

二、每天堅持閱讀培養(yǎng)語感，因為語感對于英語做題來說特別重要。當你讀的特別多，已經(jīng)形成一種習慣的時候，有時候你并不知道正確答案但是你就能感覺出來。

三、堅持用英語表達自己的想法，最開始可能會有點艱難，只要堅持，你的英語成績也會有很大進步的。有時間的話，可以讀一些寫的比較好的英語原著，英語散文等等，培養(yǎng)你的寫作能力。

四、要堅持做題，并且收集自己的錯題，分析原因，從錯誤中學習，這是最快的提高英語成績的方法。這也就是我們經(jīng)常說的題海戰(zhàn)術，題做得多了，你就會發(fā)現(xiàn)一些答題技巧。
