• 2．A shop owner placed a sign above his door that said："Puppies for Sale." Signs like this always have a way of attracting young children，and to no surprise，a boy saw the sign and approached the owner.
     "How much are you going to sell the puppies for？"he asked.
     The shop owner replied， "Anywhere from ﹩30 to ﹩50."
     The little boy pulled out some change from his pocket. "I have ﹩2.37，" he said. "Can I please look at them？"
     The shop owner smiled and whistled.A lady ran down the aisle of his shop followed by five tiny balls of fur.
     One puppy was lagging considerably behind.Immediately the little boy singled out the lagging puppy and said， "What's wrong with that little dog？"
     The shop owner explained that the puppy was born disabled and it would always be lame.The little boy became excited. "I'll buy it." The shop owner said，"No，you don't want to buy that little dog.If you really want him，I'll just give him to you." The little boy looked straight into the shop owner's eyes and said， "I don't want you to give him to me.That little dog is worth every bit as much as all the other dogs and I'll pay full price.In fact，I'll give you ﹩2.37 now，and 50 cents a month until I pay it off."
     The shop owner countered，"You really don't want to buy this little dog.He is never going to be able to run and play with you like the other puppies."
     To his surprise，the little boy reached down and rolled up his pant leg to reveal a badly twisted，crippled left leg supported by a big metal brace.He looked up at the shop owner and softly replied，"Well，I don't run so well myself，and the little puppy will need someone who understands！"

• 3．The Internet plays a big pan in human life.We use it for work and pleasure.We use it to lean a new language.We find advice on it.We use it to connect with family and friends.We use it to stay in touch with events we care about.The list goes on and on.
     As far as the Internet being a part of our lives，well that train has left the station.There is no going back to an Internet-free life.But can using the Internet too much be bad for our health？It might be，say researchers.A new study finds that heavy Internet use may be connected to high blood pressure in a young group：teenagers.
     The study results show that teens who spend at least 14 hours a week only online may cause high blood pressure，which makes your heart and blood vessels （血管）work too hard.Over time，this extra pressure increases your risk of a heart attack.High blood pressure can also cause heart and other diseases.
     The Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit，Michigan did the study.335 young people，from 14 to 17 years old，took part in it 134 of the teens were described as "heavy Internet users".And researchers found that out of these 134 teens，26 had high blood pressure.The researchers say the study is the first to connect heavy web use with high blood pressure.
     The lead researcher is Andrea Cassidy Bush row.She said，"Using the Internet is part of our dally life，but it shouldn't ruin us. " Ms.Cassidy Bushrow adds that it is important for teens to stop to have a rest regularly from their computers or smartphones and do some kind of physics-activity.She also suggests that parents shouldn't let their children use the Internet for more than two hours a day，five days a week.
  
  （1）What does the underlined part "That train has left the station." mean in paragraph 2？

• 4．Take a good look at the American burying beetle（甲蟲）once found in 35 states；the insect is assessed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as critically endangered.Like the tiger，the American burying beetle has orange and black stripes（條紋）；like the tiger，the beetle is declining in number.The tiger is an instantly recognizable symbol of species preservation，but most people aren't familiar with the beetle.
     This difference is an example of the domination of the so-called celebrity species—the fascinating creatures that nonprofits and government agencies use to raise public interest in conservation.Most nonprofit funds for animal protection go to species such as apes，elephants，big cats，rhinoceroses，and giant pandas.Tigers are often rated the most popular animal—and India，home to the majority of these big cats，spent more than 49 million on tiger conservation alone in 2019.Meanwhile，many lesser known species of fish，reptiles，amphibians，and birds weaken in namelessness.Worldwide，more than 35，500 plant and animal species are on the edge of disappearing forever.
     This leaves us with a tough situation.Conservation is underfunded，so how do we decide which species to save？
     One potential solution，the debatable idea of conservation triage（檢傷分類），holds that experts need to quickly decide which species can be saved while realizing that others can't be saved.Conservationists have developed analytical tools to approach the question in a less emotional，more practical way.Fish and Wildlife Service now uses this knapsack（背包）method—inspired by a hiker's need to fit the most valuable items into a small space—to get the"most bang for their buck"in saving species.The method calculates the most efficient conservation strategies using factors such as costs to recover a species and its likelihood of going extinct.
  
  （1）What does the first paragraph serve to the whole text？

  
  A．To propose a definition.
  B．To introduce the topic.
  C．To reach a conclusion.
  D．To present an argument.
  （2）What is the author's attitude to the lesser known species？

  
  A．Concerned.
  B．Unclear.
  C．Optimistic.
  D．Indifferent.
  （3）Where can we probably read the text？

  
  A．In a travel guide.
  B．In a blog post.
  C．In a science magazine.
  D．In a travel brochure.
  （4）What will the author probably talk about in the following paragraph？

  
  A．Causes of some animals' endangerment.
  B．An appeal to save the American burying beetle.
  C．The authorities' role in reasonable use of funds.
  D．Other methods of deciding which species to save.

     What is heritage？The word can be difficult to define.Heritage is always something that is passed down by families or other groups for many years.（1）

  It can also be the customs，traditions，and values shared by groups of people.One way to think about heritage is to break it down into three groups.These are the tangible（有形的），the natural，and the intangible.
     （2）

  It can include many human-made objects that hold cultural value.Some examples are national monuments and works of art.Many ancient sites are also part of this group.On a smaller scale，a family home can be part of an individual's heritage.
     Many parts of the natural world are also important to cultural heritage.This can include bodies of water，plant life，landforms and more.One example is the Nile River.（3）

  Efforts to protect natural heritage are key in many cultures.
     The intangible group includes any part of cultural heritage that you can't feel through touch.Maybe you've read about forms of dance，like Flamenco dancing.You might know about the music of Mariachi Bands or holidays like Eid.These are all examples of intangible heritage. （4）

  Exploring your own heritage can be fun.It can help you learn about yourself，your family，and your ancestors.But it's also important to learn about the heritage of others. （5）

  It can also lead you to find things you may have in common with others!
  
  A.They are treasures that can be touched.
  B.What tangible items can be part of heritage？
  C.However，heritage isn't limited to concrete objects.
  D.Languages，holidays and customs also make the list.
  E.Therefore，it's difficult to protect them from fading away.
  F.Doing so can help you build a stronger understanding of other cultures.
  G.It has been part of cultural heritage in many African nations for centuries.
