　　Doris Carvalho，a

　　woman

　　from

　　Tampa，America has come up with an original way of combining her two greatest passions—veterinary science(獸醫(yī)學(xué)) and fashion.She recycles dog hair and changes it into high－end designer handbags.

　　Doris loves her new job so much that she hopes to change it into a business—she's currently running a Kickstarter campaign to raise $15，000 toward that purpose.That's just enough money to make her first line of 30 handbags and pay for marketing.

　　“These handbags prove that high－end can be made eco－friendly from your pet for you，” she pointed out.“I turn dog hair that would be rubbish anywhere else in the world into these handbags.I use it to make the thread.It's reused and recycled.”

　　It takes Doris about 50 hours to complete each one handbag without any machines.She needs about two pounds of fur per handbag and she insists that the completed handbag is as soft as any other fur.It is priced at $1，000，but she says that the price would go down if the products were to ever go into mass production.“I hope in the future I can make it cheaper and sell much cheaper for everyone，” she said.

　　We aren't sure how well these handbags are selling，but according to Jaime Calderbank，owner of One Lucky Dog in St.Petersburg，it all depends on how much people are willing to display their love for their dogs.“I think a few of them that really love their dogs would like something like that，” she said.

　　Doris has managed to raise just $350 ever since she started the campaign，but she has 50 days to reach her $15，000 goal.“I hope people who like the campaign can help，” she said.“Any contribution is welcome.”

　　體裁：記敘文　話題：人與自然　詞數(shù)：320　時(shí)間：7′

　　All trade in five named species of sharks is to be regulated (管制) from now on.Without a permit，the sale of their meat or fins(鰭) will be forbidden.

　　The regulation was agreed last year at a meeting of the Convention

　　on International

　　Trade

　　in Endangered Species in Thailand.According to the rules，the whitetip (白鰭鯊)，the porbeagle (鼠鯊)，and three varieties of hammerhead will be protected.Besides，manta rays (比目魚)，valued for their gills (鰓)which are used in Chinese medicine，will also be protected.

　　The action is seen as the most important one in the 40－year history to protect these species.

　　“Regulating international trade in these shark and manta ray species has a great effect on their survival and is a very clear way of helping to protect sharks and our oceans，” said Secretary General John Scanlon.“The practical steps will involve issues such as limiting export levels，

　　and identifying the fins，gills and meat that are in trade.This may seem challenging，but by working together we can do it and we will do it.”

　　Under the rules，all trade in these sharks and rays across 180 countries will not be allowed unless they have got their permits given by the national related organization.

　　As a matter of fact，trade in shark fins has already decreased greatly as a result of campaigns to raise awareness.Recently it has been reported that sales have gone down by 70%.Earlier this year the hotel giant，Hilton Worldwide stopped serving shark fins at its 96 owned and managed Asia－Pacific hotels.

　　However，Denmark，Canada，Guyana，Japan，Iceland and Yemen have all announced they will not follow the new rules and will continue to fish for some or all of these species.Under the regulations though，they are only able to trade with other countries that are also ready to ignore the rules.

　　Officials point out that for such a questioned issue，the number of countries which is going to continue the trade is small.

　　【語(yǔ)篇解讀】　去年在泰國(guó)的一個(gè)國(guó)際會(huì)議上，與會(huì)人員通過(guò)了保護(hù)鯊魚和比目魚的規(guī)定

　　4．The purpose of putting the new rules into force is to ________．

　　A．limit people's trade in ocean animals' meat

　　B．protect some species of sharks against over fishing

　　C．let

　　fishers

　　know

　　the

　　importance of protecting sharks

　　D．prevent big hotels from serving sharks' meat

　　答案　B　[細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一、二段內(nèi)容可知，實(shí)施新規(guī)定的目的是保護(hù)五種鯊魚和比目魚，只有獲得許可，人們才可以捕撈和販賣這些鯊魚。]

　　5．Which of the following doesn't belong to species of sharks?

　　A．The manta ray.

　　B．The porbeagle.

　　C．The whitetip.

　　D．The hammerhead.

　　答案　A　[細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“According to the rules，the whitetip，the porbeagle，and three varieties of hammerhead will be protected.Besides，manta rays...”可知，比目魚不屬于鯊魚。]

　　6．What can be inferred from John Scanlon' s words in Paragraph Four?

　　A．The regulation may have some negative effects on sharks.

　　B．The export of sharks' meat will be called off in some periods.

　　C．It's nearly impossible to carry out the regulation worldwide.

　　D．Officials are confident that the regulations have a promising future.

　　答案　D　[推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段“This may seem challenging，but by working together we can do it and we will do it.”可知，John Scanlon認(rèn)為雖然很具有挑戰(zhàn)性，但是只要人們一起努力，保護(hù)鯊魚的行

　　7．Hilton Worldwide is a good example of ________．

　　A．people's getting their permits to trade in shark fins

　　B．a(chǎn) successful company's managing its wealth

　　C．people's beginning to stop eating shark fins

　　D．people's raising awareness to protect sharks

　　答案　D　[推理判斷題。根據(jù)第六段內(nèi)容可知，隨著保護(hù)鯊魚意識(shí)的提高，鯊魚交易已經(jīng)大幅度減少了。希爾頓酒店停止向顧客出售魚翅，這給提高保護(hù)鯊魚意識(shí)做出了好的表率。]

　　Ⅱ.根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。

　　A fear of heights is a common feeling that is easy

　　to

　　understand.According

　　to

　　many psychologists，a fear of heights is one of only two natural fears.__8__If you are on the edge of a cliff，it is useful to be a little afraid.If you are not afraid，you could walk too close to the edge (邊緣) and fall off.Having a fear of heights is good because it protects us from real danger.

　　__9__They experience strong fears even inside a safe environment such as a tall building，which is not a common response and it is not helpful.John Adams，an English teacher，has a strong fear of heights that makes his life very difficult.“As long as I can remember，I have had a powerful fear of heights.__10__For example，when I was with friends in Paris，I became terrified while going up the Eiffel Tower.I was almost crying and I felt embarrassed for the rest of the vacation，Adams said.

　　Fortunately，having an unreasonable fear of heights can be corrected.__11__The most effective way seems to be getting the person to acknowledge (承認(rèn)) their fear，for example，by encouraging them to go to the top of tall buildings，hike up tall mountains，or stand on a high bridge.

　　__12__When people face a threatening situation，taking slow，deep breaths can help slow the heart rate and increase the oxygen flow to muscles to keep from tensing(緊張) up.If possible，a few minutes of meditation(沉思) may be effective in reducing some tension.

　　It is important to remember that a fear of heights is not unusual and can be treated.

　　A．Another way to overcome a fear of heights is to learn to control the physical symptoms.

　　B．However，some people have an unreasonable and unhealthy fear of heights.

　　C．One way to defeat your fear of heights is to do an activity that involves nothing but heights.

　　D．There are a number of ways that can be achieved.

　　E．It can completely ruin a vacation.

　　F．The other is a fear of loud noises.

　　G．Nearly everyone experiences some degree of panic when facing heights.

　　答案　

　　8．F　[根據(jù)上文“...a fear of heights is one of only two natural fears.”可知，恐高是兩種天然的恐懼之一，另一種是對(duì)大的噪音的恐懼。]

　　9．B　[根據(jù)下文“They experience strong fears even inside a safe environment such as a tall building...”可知，然而有些人會(huì)對(duì)高度產(chǎn)生過(guò)度的恐慌，他們甚至在比如較高的建筑物里也會(huì)感到強(qiáng)烈的恐懼。]

　　10．E　[...when I was with friends in Paris，I became terrified while going up the Eiffel Tower.I was almost crying and I felt embarrassed for the rest of the vacation...”可知，John Adams因?yàn)榭指叨沟米约涸诎屠璧募倨谶^(guò)得很糟糕。]

　　11．D　[根據(jù)上下文“...having an unreasonable fear of heights can be corrected...The most effective way seems to be getting the person to acknowledge their fear”可知，過(guò)度地恐高是可以被改正過(guò)來(lái)的，有許多方法可以做到這一點(diǎn)。最有效的方法就是讓人承認(rèn)他們的恐懼。]

　　12．A　[根據(jù)下文“...taking slow，deep breaths can help slow the heart rate and increase the oxygen flow to muscles to keep from tensing up.”可知，另外一種方法就是控制體征，比如慢慢地深呼吸來(lái)降低心率，讓更多的氧氣流向肌肉來(lái)避免緊張。]

　　Ⅲ.閱讀下面材料，在空白處填入適當(dāng)?shù)膬?nèi)容(1個(gè)單詞)或括號(hào)內(nèi)單詞的正確形式。

　　stop bench.He __14__ (wear) warm clothes and the temperature was －10℃.A heartbreaking scene! But the good deeds of the ordinary people who witnessed __15__11－year－old Johannes were both joyous __16__ inspiring.A woman，sitting next to the boy，discovered he was __17__ a school trip and was told to meet his teacher at the bus stop.She __18__ (self) covered her own coat around his shoulders.Later，__19__ woman at first gave him her scarf，and then wrapped him in her large jacket.Throughout the day，more and more people offered Johannes their gloves and even the coats off their backs.__20__ (actual)，it was a hidden camera experiment by Norwegian charity SOS Children's Village as part of their winter campaign to collect __21__ (donate) to help Syrian children get through the winter.Synne Ronning，the information head of the organization，also noted that the child was a volunteer who was never in any __22__ (dangerous)

　　18．selflessly　[考查副詞。根據(jù)空后的cover判斷填副詞形式。故填selflessly。]

　　【思路導(dǎo)航】

　　本文是限內(nèi)容、給提綱的控制性作文，由于是寫當(dāng)下的社會(huì)現(xiàn)象，所以時(shí)態(tài)要以一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)為主。內(nèi)容要符合英語(yǔ)習(xí)慣。比如：“私家車增加”要用英語(yǔ)表達(dá)為“越來(lái)越多的人擁有私家車”。主謂賓狀各個(gè)成分要完整；“事故頻發(fā)”使用happen或take place，且只能用主動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)不能用被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)；“采取措施”用英語(yǔ)表達(dá)為“take steps(measures/action)”。
