2．It's a sunny afternoon at the Bronx Zoo，in New York City.Children are excited as a female Asian elephant named Happy comes into view.Waving her ears from side to side and wrapping her trunk around the fence leisurely，Happy seems to be living a happy life.
The Bronx Zoo is one of about 60 zoos in the U.S.jye.ai you can see an elephant.With the number of Asian elephants declining every year -only about 50，000 are left in the wild-a zoo might be the only chance any of us will ever get to see one.
But the Nonhuman Rights Project （NhRP），an animal-rights group，says Happy is lonely.A fence separates her from Patty，another elephant.Contact through a fence isn't enough，the NhRP says.Steven is the group's president."We understand what Happy's life means to her，"he says，"which is almost nothing at all."
So the NhRP is taking the Bronx Zoo to court.The group says Happy should be moved toa protected area where she can have space to hang about and interact with other elephants.The NhRP's case against the Bronx Zoo is the first of its kind in the U.S.The group is relying on a legal order meant for humans.It says a person who has been unlawfully imprisoned must be released.The NhRP will argue in court that Happy should have that same right.
Experts say elephants are intelligent and thrive（繁榮）when they form social ties in the wild.Joyce Poole studies them in Africa.She thinks keeping elephants in a city is "a recipe for disaster"， "As you can imagine，if you were locked behind bars and lost freedom，would there be much you could do？"she says.But the Bronx Zoo insists that Happy is well cared for according to animal protection laws.Besides，some people claim removing animals like Happy from zoos would be a mistake because zoos reach more people than any other group involved with conservation.They believe if there's a time when children can no longer visit zoos to grow up with a connection to the animals，it'll come at a great cost.

3．To fight against the ballooning waistlines among people，several U.S.jye.ai have instituted taxes on drinks with added sugar aiming to reduce consumption，but new research suggests these policies currently have one fundamental flaw.
The study found sugary drink taxes only reduce purchasing if price tags（標簽）at stores mention consumers are paying that tax when they buy the drink.
The research included a field study at two convenience stores in San Francisco，which currently has a tax on sugary drinks of I cent per ounce.Researchers varied the price tags placed on the sugary drinks over the eight-week study：one tag that simply said the price for the 12-ounce drink （﹩ 1.52）and one that had the price and the message "Includes SF Sugary Drink Tax".All non-sugary drinks，which weren't subject to the tax，simply had the price of the drink （﹩ 1.40）.
The researchers compared sales of the drinks during the study period to the two weeks before the study began when the sugary drink tax was in effect but there were no price tags on any drinks.Results showed sales of sugary drinks weren't lower during the two weeks，compared to sales before the tax，indicating the tax itself didn't reduce purchases of sugary drinks.
The researchers then looked at the effects of the two different price tags.Results showed the share of sugary drinks purchased when the tags simply showed the price wasn't significantly different from the two-week period before the study，but did decline slightly when the tags mentioned the price included the added tax.
In a separate online study，the researchers asked participants to estimate what the tax would be on a can of their favorite drink that cost ﹩ 1.52.The average estimate was 40 cents-much higher than the 12 cents actually demanded in San Francisco.When told the tax was only 12 cents，they reported they'd still purchase the drink.
The findings suggest price tags should mention the tax but not the amount，for consumers tend to overestimate how much the tax is. "If cities want these policies to be effective，they need to regulate how sugary drinks are labeled at stores and they currently don't do that，" said Donnelly，lead author of the study.
（1）What does the underlined word "flaw"mean in the first paragraph？
A．Weakness.
B．Solution.
C．Imbalance.
D．Evidence.
（2）What kind of price tags may discourage customers from buying sugary drinks？
A．Price tags bearing sugar content.
B．Price tags with the exact tax on them.
C．Price tags saying added tax included.
D．Price tags just showing the total price.
（3）Which of the following may be Donnelly's suggestion？
A．Stores label sugary drinks at will.
B．Cancel sugary drink taxes at once.
C．Publicize the impacts of sugary drinks.
D．Cities urge stores to use proper price tags.
（4）What might be the best title for the text？
A．A New Way to Prevent Fatness
B．Eating Habits and Food Consumption
C．Sugary Drink Taxes Aren't Working Well
D．Non-sugary Drinkers Benefit from New Policies組卷：8引用：3難度：0.5

TALK TO MEMom was having a surgery on her throat.She had lost her voice four years before.Mom loved writing and was a popular newspaper columnist among the online circles."We really believe you'll get your voice back.The surgery will work.Right，Mom？"stared into Mom's eyes，eager for a positive answer.Expressionless，Mom lifted her eyes from her laptop and pulled out one of the post-its（便利貼）that were stuck to the plastic case of the LCD display.It said "Yes".I pursed my lips.Her eyes fell back to her laptop.She didn't smile，and she didn't even look at me while raising the post-it in front of me as if she didn't care at all.But I did.I was desperate to hear her speak again.She meant the world to me.But Mom was not in the least excited about getting her voice back，because it was her third surgery and the last two didn't work out.She was hopeless."Dad will be here soon，"I told Mom.She shrugged（聳肩）.Just then Dr Smith entered the ward. "Relax，Lisa.There's a good chance that your mom can speak after the surgery，"he comforted me.And I nodded with a forced smile.After two nurses wheeled Mom away to the operating room，I sat outside as the surgery went on.Resting my elbows on my knees，I buried my head in my hands，praying for the surgery to go well.Mom had developed throat cancer.When she woke up one morning as a mute（啞巴），I cried my eyes out though I was tired of her continually lecturing me about my improper behavior.Being unable to hear her voice was heart-breaking.Worse still，she no longer smiled at Dad and me and stopped giving us those morning hugs I always looked forward to.I couldn't bear seeing her like this，so helpless，so quiet，All those post-its saying "I love you'"，"I miss you'"…h(huán)ad lost their meanings.Recalling all this，I couldn't help weeping.
