1．Known for its complicated，seemingly wavelike sandstone walls and the rays of sunlight that shine into them，Arizona's Antelope Canyon（羚羊峽谷） is an everlasting attraction for tourists.It's a slot canyon，meaning it formed from water carving it out over millions of years.It sits about 3，700 feet above sea level and takes its name from the antelope that once lived in it.
The canyon forms part of Lake Powell Navajo Tribal Park in the Navajo Nation.The Navajo Nation limits visits to either the Upper or Lower Antelope Canyon to two hours and requires all visitors to be led by authorized guides.If you're planning a trip and need help deciding which area to visit，keep these recommendations in mind.
When：Tour are available twice a day during the week year-round，though exact times vary by season；tours are not available on weekends or major holidays.
Cost：Tour companies' fees vary，but tickets，including entrance to the park，generally start at around ＄60 for 90-minute tours of Upper Antelope Canyon.Tours of Lower Antelope Canyon tend to be around an hour and generally cost around ＄40 per adult and ＄20 for children.
Must-know tip：Most of Arizona does not follow daylight saving time，though the Navajo Nation，where Antelope Canyon is located，does.Check with your tour operator to confirm the precise time of your tour.
Antelope Canyon hosts tons of visitors and，in order to protect the canyon walls from damage，no bags of any kind are permitted in either the Upper or Lower section.Also keep in mind that while most tour companies welcome small children，not all of them will.

2．On the outside，12-year-old Luna seems like your average kid.It's not until you get to know her that you learn that Luna is anything but average.
Born with a heart defect（缺陷） called dextrocardia，Luna has had three open-heart operations and continues to pursue her interests in art and fashion.But when Luna was approached by athletic shoe company Saucony to design a shoe for sale across the country，it came as quite a surprise.
"This is so incredible.I got to use my art and creativity for something new that I'd never thought I'd be able to design，" Luna said.She is one of six patients from Boston Children' Hospital（BCH） who have partnered with Saucony to design their own shoe to launch the Shoes with Soul campaign.
"Rather than just a donation，we wanted to create an experience and a moment that would not only raise money，but also awareness to highlight all the amazing work that's being done at BCH，" says Chris，Saucony's vice president. "Specifically，we wanted to give some of the BCH kids an opportunity to share their story and their talents with the world."
Luna's design is fashion. "On the tongue，they digitalized one of my drawings，and then on bottom it's a really bright pink color，and on the inside，the sole of the shoe is actually another drawing I did of a sunset，" she said. "Thinking about kids everywhere around the world wearing my shoe is amazing. It blows my mind."
The income from the shoe sales will benefit the Boston Children's Hospital Cardiac Fitness Program，which encourages kids to "find your possible" through personalized exercise programs tailored for each individual patient's heart condition.
"It feels really good to help people and it's really something I can relate to，" says Luna. "The advice I would give a kid or someone like me is never give up.There are a lot of kids out there with your condition and you're not alone."
（1）What can we learn from Chris' words？
A．It's unwise to raise money.
B．It's optional to seek donations.
C．It's wonderful to study art.
D．It's necessary to show kids' talents.

3．Conservationists have long known that using pandas，tigers and other charismatic（有號(hào)召力的） species to front their campaigns is a good way to raise money.But some people argue that focusing on these "flagship" animals can ignore equally threatened but less cute ones.
Now Jennifer McGowan at Macquarie University in Sydney and her colleagues suggest that we can have it both ways after finding that funding for flagship species also helps other threatened species in the surrounding areas.McGowan's team first drew up a list of 534 flagship species in wildlife-rich hot spots around the world.The biodiversity areas were each split into grids（網(wǎng)格） of 100 by 100 kilometre squares.The researchers then compared two conservation approaches across eight simulated scenarios（模擬場景） which assumed different levels of human activity and protected areas.
The first focused on protecting flagship species，while the second aimed to protect the maximum number of species in an area，regardless of their fundraising potential.Their study has found that targeting grid squares with flagship species also protected 79 to 89 per cent of the non-flagship species in that area.The figure rose to 97 percent in some scenarios. "The findings could help when choosing which species to promote.Flagship species are very effective at getting the public to care，" she says.
Morgan Trimble，the author of a paper that has found scientists also have a bias（偏見）towards charismatic animals，says the results don't surprise her. "While I think it's important that we don't lose sight of the bigger picture --- conserving species is about conserving all the component parts of ecosystems，even the not-so-cute species --- I think highlighting flagship species in fundraising and education is a practical idea and appeals to human nature，she says.Trimble also asks what the alternative to using flagship species would be：randomly picking species？McGowan's study found a random approach to choosing where to spend conservation funds only protected 39 to 55 per cent of the non-flagship species.
（1）What kind of animals do conservationists usually use to raise funds？
A．Less attractive animals.
B．Endangered flagship animals.
C．Threatened but not necessarily cute species.
D．Charismatic but not necessarily threatened species.
（2）What has McGowan and her team's study revealed？
A．It's proper to focus on flagship species.
B．There are very few flagship species in grid squares.
C．Non-flagship species are poorly protected in general.
D．Flagship species are getting more than enough attention.
（3）What does Trimble think of the study's outcome？
A．It needs to be further confirmed.
B．It is in line with her expectations.
C．It is beyond her comprehension.
D．It goes right against human nature.
（4）What would be the best title for the text？
A．How to choose a charismatic species
B．The effects of human activity on animals
C．How to best channel conservation efforts
D．The role of fundraising in saving animals組卷：1引用：1難度：0.5

A warm and sunny afternoon on a holiday， birds were singing and flowers were waving in the breeze. The sunshine cast beautiful shadows among the leaves. Susan was sitting in the room and doing the weaving（編織） task her grandmother had set， absent-minded.
A group of little girls came up to Susan from outside， jumping and talking happily. Rose， her best friend， asked Susan if she would like to play in the woods with them. Susan sighed and refused. After all， she had to finish the job first. The girls argued it must be rather tiresome to stay at home on such a good day. They commented that Susan's grandmother was too strict. After hearing this， Susan bent her head.
As they disappeared in the distance， she could picture what would happen to these little crazy creatures. However， her heart sank， thinking of the crown（皇冠） game --- the girls' favorite. She was sure that she would be the queen if she were there. Suddenly， an idea flashed into her mind. Perhaps there might be no harm if she moved the mark Grandmother bad put in the stocking（長筒襪）. After a while， she told her grandmother that she had made it， her heart beating wildly. Grandmother was shocked，but took the work，surveying it very closely. Then laying great stress on each word， she told Susan it was true， because she had counted twenty turns from the mark. Besides，she believed Susan had never cheated her. "Susan，go and amuse yourself as you like". Grandma said， gently patting her on the head. Susan's cheeks turned red， but she rushed out and even forgot to say thanks.
The girls were excited and surprised to see Susan join their company. Soon，the woods were bursting with the elves'（小精靈） laughter. Not a moment later， Susan sat on the grass， feeling guilty. She did cheat. When her companions ran about enjoying themselves， Susan wished she were at home admitting her fault.
