2．My childhood was a painted picture of sunny sky and rolling green fields stretching to the horizon.It tasted of sharp berries and smelt of sour grapes.My family lived in a cabin（小木屋） in the countryside but I lived in my mother's arms.They were so delicate but strong，her red hair falling around me like a curtain separating me from the world.
Childhood was simple.The borders of my village were the furthest my troubles went and monsters only lived in the pages of books.Every day was a waking dream of running races and muddy knees.My village was archaic，dying cabins housing dying farmers with dying traditions.There weren't many children but me and the other boys；boys of butchers and sellers formed our own group.
They called us wild.I suppose we were.Trees and mountains formed our playgrounds and fights broke out as easily as sudden laughter.Liberated from the restrictions of society，we would bound into the woods，deeper and deeper until we found a lake which，with a wild yell，we would jump into all at once.
My most vivid memories from boyhood center around that lake.Water shone brightly and the sounds of our screams broke into the outcry from birds.The shock of cold water against sweating skin would wake every nerve in my body and my bare feet would hit the sinking muddy bottom.As we submerged（淹沒），time would suspend，movements slowing as bubbles rose around us.
I was drowning.I was living.I was living.I was drowning.
For timelessness or a second （both felt the same），we would suspend，curl up，and then be forced back out into breathing air.
We should have known that it wouldn't last forever.Yet，even under the best circumstances，there's something so tragic about growing up：to have your perspective on the people and life around you change；to always struggle to reach a mirror only to find yourself tall enough to see your reflection one day.And find，a different person staring back out at you.

C．Growth is often accompanied by sad goodbyes to the past.
D．Growth begins when we begin to accept our own weakness.組卷：31引用：9難度：0.5 -
3．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.
（1）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.
（2）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.
（3）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.
（4）What is the author's attitude towards the latest approach？
A．Conservative.
B．Favourable.
C．Critical.
D．Ambiguous.組卷：48引用：7難度：0.3

9．Ballet was a way of life in Kelly's family.Her elder sister Serena was now dancing at a top college.Though Kelly's mom always wanted her to follow in her sister's footsteps and Kelly herself was good at ballet，her love for ballet had faded years before，and she was eager for a new challenge.
One day at school，as Kelly left the dance studio，she walked past the gym，fascinated by boxers（拳擊手）training inside the boxing ring.She was deeply impressed by how hard they hit and how fast they moved.In fact，she'd long been attracted to boxing.
She pulled a piece of paper from her backpack.On the familiar Oakwood High School Club Sign-up Sheet was the phrase：BOXING CLUB TRYOUT（選拔）.That was what Kelly really wanted to do.She knew her mom had high expectations for her when it came to ballet.Tired of trying to keep up with her sister，Kelly was ready to carve her own path.
The next day，she gathered her courage and told Serena about her new passion.At first，Serena didn't understand and thought she was just joking.But when she saw Kelly was serious，she replied， "You know Mom wants you to be a ballet dancer，right？Besides，boxing is only for boys，and you're so good at ballet.Lean into your strength，Kelly."
"But this is where I want to put my strength，" Kelly insisted，"and what exactly does 'only for boys' mean，anyway？Boxing is a sport for everyone!"
Gradually，touched by her determination and passion，Serena began to understand and support her.Kelly could feel it.Her sister was going to respect her decision，no matter what.But that was nothing compared to the preparations for the tryout，where she was required to show her footwork and punching（擊打）abilities with other candidates.Boxing didn't come natural to Kelly，but she had made up her mind to stick with her choice.
注意：
（1）續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右；
（2）請(qǐng)按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。
Then Kelly began her training for the tryout，keeping it a secret from her mom.___________
The following Monday，results of the boxing tryout were posted.______________組卷：32引用：16難度：0.2
