On a typical day, off the coast of a small Brazilian island, Pereira headed out to fish. He was disheartened to

find that an oil leak had polluted the waters. Staring out at the waves with their oil sheen(光泽), he decided it was

not a good day to fish. But walking on the beach that day, he found a struggling penguin, covered in oil and

starving.

Pereira took the penguin home, gently cleaned it and spent the next week nursing it back to health. He named

it Dindim, which belongs to a species known for living in the seas of South America. In order to bear babies, they

must return to Patagonia, 8,000 kilometers from Pereira’s home. Pereira patiently took Dindim back to the ocean

and taught it how to swim again. Soon enough, it was time for Dindim to return to life in the wild. Pereira watched

Dindim swim away, believing it would be the last time he saw it.

But the next June,Dindim returned. The two shared a warm-hearted greeting, and Dindim stayed for a

month,wandering around the fisherman’s house. The time to leave arrived, and Pereira thought this surely would be

the last time he would see Dindim. But in the same month of the year after next, the penguin with a long memory

returned again.

A college degree is helpful for many practical reasons, ranging from your increased competitiveness to the

increased likeliness that you’ll be promoted within your job. However, people think little of the degree of personal

growth that they’ll experience as they’re working through their degrees. A college education requires students to

overcome all types of difficulties and prepares themselves not only for the workplace, but for dealing with many of

life’s challenges.

Time management and organization, for example, are just two examples of the skills that you’re likely to get

the hang of during your time in college. Both are needed to successfully deal with the many courses you will take

and the tasks before you. Tests, exams, and home-work dates can all become confusing when you’re dealing with

multiple classes. Good organization can help you manage all of your responsibilities, and it’s a skill that will be

useful once you have your degree. Not only is it useful in the workplace,but it can help you manage your personal

responsibilities at home as well. Even simple tasks like bill payments are made easier when you can properly track

what is due and when.

Of course, on a larger level, the sort of personal development you’ll experience will large-ly be related to

B.11 months.

D.13 months.

overcoming difficulties. College requires that you overcome one challenge after another, ranging from learning

courses to passing tests or completing projects. You’ll need to be not only intelligent but disciplined in order to

complete your schooling. These traits(特质)are often developed slowly throughout college. As you learn how to

better respond to stress and difficulties, you’ll slowly find that you’re better able to deal with difficulties in a

number of situations.

28.What benefit is ignored about working through a college degree?

A.More job opportunities.

C.Stronger competitiveness.

B.More chances of promotion.

D.Greater personal growth.

29.What does the underlined phrase“get the hang of”in paragraph 2 mean?

A.Track down.

C.Hang out.

30.What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A.Earning a degree is a must to gain personal development.

B.Personal growth can only be acquired by earning a degree.

C.College life is accompanied with challenges and difficulties.

D.Traits of intelligence and discipline are developed fast in college.

31.Which can be a suitable title for the text?

A.Benefits of Earning a College Degree

B.Practical Ways to Achieve a College Degree

March 3 is World Wildlife Day, an opportunity to celebrate the wonderful diversity of plants and animals on

earth. This day also marks the 50th anniversary of an international agreement between governments to ensure the

trading of wild animals and plants—which is estimated to be worth billions of US dollars globally—doesn’t

threaten species’ survival.

The voluntary deal, called the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and

Flora(CITES), provides varying degrees of protection to more than 37,000 species globally. The text of the

convention was agreed at a meeting on March 3,1973 and it came into force in 1975. It provides a framework for

184 participants to ensure sustain-able trading of wild species for products such as food, fur and medicines.

B.Pick up.

D.Get off.

“Without CITES, we’d lack a vital mechanism to turn off the ever-flowing and sorrowful deal of species

driven by market demand,” said Abigail Entwistle at conservation charity in a press release.

The mountain gorilla is one species benefiting from a total trade ban under CITES in partner ship with this

charity. Since this began, the population size has risen fourfold to more than 1,000 individuals. The pygmy

hippos(侏儒河马)are also protected by CITES. They are found in the forests and swamps of West Africa, with most

living in Liberia. Recently, conservationists have confirmed that pygmy hippos have a wider distribution than

previously thought.

Grenadines pink rhino iguana(犀牛鬣蜥)is a striking species, which is threatened by hunting, because it still

lacks CITES protection. Since 2016, the charity has been working with local and international partners to protect

this species. The important point is that it works. The charity says“a CITES listing would be the logical next step”to

better protect its survival.

32.What is the purpose of the international agreement?

A.To earn profits for humans.

B.To ensure the diversity of wildlife.

B.It shows mechanism of conservation charity.

C.It contributes to species conservation on earth.

B.By making a summary.

D.By explaining a concept.

35.What is the author’s attitude to the protection of Grenadines pink rhino iguana?

D.Unclear.

五、七选五

Left-handed people make up around 12% of the global population. One really interesting fact that I picked up

was from a scientist who believed that left-handed people tended to be more independent as a result of having to

adapt to a world that is largely built for right-handed individuals.___36___!

More likely to have allergies and sleep disorders

A study found that left-handed people were 11 times more likely to suffer from allergies than right-handed

folk.___37___.

Left-handed people use the right side of the brain the most

___38___, meaning that the right side controls the left side of the body and the other way around. Hence there

is a well-known saying “only left-handed people are in their right minds”. The right-hand side of the brain is

thought to control the left side of the body and tasks to do with the arts and creativity.

Are left-handed people smarter?

___39___! One 2007 study “Effect of handedness on intelligence level of students”shows that lefties are more

likely to have higher IQ. However,another 2010 study “The relationship between hand preference, hand

performance, and general cognitive ability” suggests the exact opposite!

___40___

Experiments showed that when given two tasks to complete simultaneously (同时), lefties performed best.

This is because right-handed people tend to solve problems by breaking them down into parts and analyzing each

piece one at a time. While left-handed people tend to look at the problem as a whole and use pattern-matching to try

and solve it.

A.Better at multi-tasking

B.Smarter than the right-handed

C.As we know, the brain is cross-wired

D.This one varies depending on how dated your source is
