2．Back about 20 months ago，I started college and just struggled with everything，such as classes and friends.I quickly became depressed and angry at myself for not being about to do better in school in addition to lack of friends due to poor social and communication skills
This went on for months until my 19th birthday.My parents sent me a cake，which was a great cake.But I remember having this large cake and absolutely no one to share it with.I ended throwing out the cake after having one piece with about 90% of it leftover.That night I was depressed that I decided to go outside to the freezing temperature of the winter and run.I put my earphones in，went outside and run about 2 miles 11 p.m.jye.ai my birthday.
When I got back inside I was content.I was proud of what I was able to do.The next night I did the same.I wasn't quick or fit but you know that I went outside and did something.The continued for about two months until I finally worked up the courage go to the gym where I started swimming again as I used to in high school.A month went by and I started lifting weights and continually running.
Looking back I can see that exercise helped cure my depression but it didn't only do thjye.ai.At the gym I met new friends and back at my dorm I grew confidence to go to the end of the hall seeing people playing Super Smash Brothers and asked if I could join.
So go forward to present now.I exercise every day and look forward to that hour and a half I get daily to do what I love with people who love it as well.I hope this helps someone who may be or have been in a similar situation.

3．Up until now，it has been believed big cats like the leopard（豹）originated in parts of Africa.However，an ancient skull unearthed recently indicates that big cats originated in central.
Dated at between 4.1 and 5.95 million years old，the fossil is the oldest remains ever found of a pantherine felid，as big cats are called.The previous felid record holder — tooth fragments（碎片）found in Tanzania — is estimated to be around 3.8 million years old.
The evolution of big cats has been hotly discussed，and the issue is complicated by a lack of fossil evidence to settle the debate.
"This find suggests that big cats have a deeper evolutionary origin than previously suspected." said Jack Zeng，a paleontologist of the University of Southern California who led the probe（調(diào)查）.
Zeng and his team made the find in 2010 in a remote border region in Tibet.The fossil was found stuck among more than 100 bones that were probably deposited by a river that exited a cliff.After three years of careful comparisons with other fossils，using DNA data to build a family tree，the team is convinced the creature was a pantherine felid.
The weight of evidence suggests that central or northern Asia where big cats originated some 16 million years ago.They may have lived in a vast mountain shelter，formed by the uplifting Himalayas，feeding on equally remarkable species such as the Tibetan blue sheep.They then dispersed（分散）into Southeast Asia，evolving into the clouded leopard，tiger and snow leopard families，and later movements across continents saw them evolve into jaguars and lions.
The newly discovered felid has been called Panthera Blytheae，after Blythe Haaga，daughter of a couple who support a museum in Los Angeles，the university said in a news release.
（1）According to the passage，why is the origin of big cats a hot issue？
A．Because not many fossils have been found.
B．Because they moved across continents.
C．Because no equipment was available for accurate analysis.
D．Because they have evolved into many different species of felid.
（2）Where was the felid fossil found？
A．In Tanzania.
B．In Tibet.
C．In California.
D．In Southeast Asia.
（3）According to the passage，which of the following statements is true？
A．Some big cats evolved into jaguars 16 million years ago.
B．The oldest fossil of big cats ever discovered is 3.8 million years old.
C．Big cats are later generations of snow leopards living in high mountains.
D．Tibetan blue sheep was a main food source for big cats in the Himalayas.
（4）What is the purpose of this passage？
A．To promote wildlife conservation.
B．To report on a new find in paleontology.
C．To introduce a new animal species.
D．To compare the family trees of pantherine felids.組卷：0引用：1難度：0.5

9．It was summer，and my dad wanted to treat me to a vacation like never before.He decided to take me on a trip to the Wild West.We took a plane to Albuquerque，a big city in the state of New Mexico.We reached Albuquerque in the late afternoon.Uncle Paul，my dad's friend，picked us up from the airport and drove us up to his farm in Pecos.
His wife Tina cooked us a delicious dinner and we got to know his sons Ryan and Kyle.My dad and I spent the night in the guestroom of the farm house listening to the frogs and water rolling down the river nearby.Very early in the morning，Uncle Paul woke us up to have breakfast. "The day starts at dawn on my farm，" he said.After breakfast，I went to help Aunt Tina feed the chickens，while my dad went with Uncle Paul to take the sheep out to graze（吃草）.I was impressed to see my dad and Uncle Paul riding horses.They looked really cool.
In the afternoon，I asked Uncle Paul if I could take a horse ride，and he said yes，as long as my dad went with me.I wasn't going to take a horse ride by myself anyway.So，my dad and I put on our new cowboy hats，got on our horses，and headed slowly towards the mountains. "Don't be late for supper，" Uncle Paul cried， "and keep to the track so that you don't get lost!" "OK!" my dad cried back.After a while Uncle Paul and his farm house were out of sight.It was so peaceful and quiet and the colors of the brown rocks，the deep green pine trees，and the late afternoon sun mixed to create a magic scene.It looked like a beautiful woven（編織的）blanket spread out upon the ground just for us.
Paragraph 1：
Suddenly a little rabbit jumped out in front of my horse.
Paragraph 2：
We had no idea where we were and it got dark.
