A PROTECTION OF AFRICAN WILDLIFE
It is 5:45 am and the sun is just rising over Gombe National Park in East Africa. Our group are all going to visit the chimps in the     1   . Jane has studied these animals for many years and helped people   2    how much they    3   like humans.     4    a family of chimps wake up is our first activity of the day. This means going back to a place   5  we left the chimp family    6   in a tree the night before. Everybody sits and waits while the animals in the group begin to wake up and move. Then we follow as the family begins to    7   into the forest. Most of the time, chimps either feed or clean each other as a way of showing love in their family. Jane warns us that everybody will be very tired and dirty by the afternoon and she is right. But the evening makes it all    8   . The mother chimp and her babies play in the tree and, after they come into her arms, we see them go to sleep together in their    9  for the night.
Nobody before has fully understand chimp behaviour. Jane spent many years   10   and recording their daily activities. She did not study at a university but she was determined to work with animals in their own environment. When she arrived at Gombe in 1960, it was unusual for a woman to live in the forest. Only after her mother came to help her for the first few months was she allowed to begin her project. Her work changed the way people think about chimps. For example, one thing she    11   was that chimps hunt and eat meat. Until then everyone had thought chimps ate only fruit and nuts. She actually observed chimps as a group hunting a monkey and then eating it. She also discovered how chimps communicate with each other and her study of their body language helped her   12   their social system
For forty years Jane Goodall has been helping the rest of the world understand and   13 the life of these animals. She has   14   for them to be left in the wild and not used for         15    or advertisements. She has set up special places where they can live safely. Her life is very busy but as she says:
Once I stop, it all comes crowding in and I remember the chimps in laboratories. It’s terrible. It affects me when I watch the wild chimps. I say to myself, ‘Aren’t they lucky?’ And then think about small chimps in cages though they have done nothing wrong. Once you have seen that you can never forget…”
She has achieved everything she wanted to do: working with animals in their own environment, gaining a doctor’s degree for studies, showing that women can live in the forest as men can. She inspires those who want to cheer the achievements of women.

The Three Gorges Dam

“Walls of stone to hold back clouds and rain”
Mao Zedong wrote a poem in which he           (梦想) “walls of stone to         (阻止) clouds and rain till a       (光滑的,平坦的) lake       (上升) in the narrow gorges”. Now his dream has           (实现). The        (水力) of the Yangtze River, which is the world’s third longest river, has been           (利用) by the Three Gorges Dam.
The Three Gorges Dam, which is the biggest                 (建筑工程)in China since the building of the Great Wall and the Grand Canal, has been built                  (控制泛滥)and
     hydro-electric power        (为……提供)the central region of China. The dam is nearly 200 metres      (高)and 1.5 kilometres      (宽). It is the largest              (水力发电站)
and dam in the world and has cost more than any other construction project in history.
Sun Yat-sen, who was the leader of the 1911 Revolution, first       (建议,提出)the idea of a dam across the Yangtze River in 1919. Three quarters of China’s energy is         (产生)by burning coal. In 1993, China used 1.2 billion tons of coal for heating and                  (发电). Unfortunately, burning coal      (导致,引起) serious air pollution and increases             (全球变暖). The dam will generate electricity           (相当于)about 40 million tons of coal without causing so much air pollution.
The reservoir has        (淹没)2 cities, 11 counties, 140 towns and more than 4,000 villages. More than a million people who lived in the region have moved from their homes. Now they’re                         (过着幸福的新生活)in different areas.
The Three Gorges area is one of the most beautiful areas of China and the project has flooded some of China’s most famous                 (历史遗迹),      (包括)the Qu Yuan Temple, the Han Watchtower and the Moya Cliff carvings. About 800 historical relics have been      (淹没). Some of them are being          (迁移)and some are being put into museums.

Section B (10points)
Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and required words limit.
The word addiction(上瘾) usually makes you think of alcohol or drugs(酒精或毒品), but in modern society we are seeing some new kinds of addictions. Some people are compulsive(难以自制的)shopper. Others find it impossible to keep themselves away from their work. Still others spend many hours watching TV or playing computer games.
Over the years, shopping has become a very common activity. Many people enjoy going to the stores more and more every day. They have turned into shopaholics. They are people who simply enjoy shopping and walking around spending money without being able to stop doing it. They are crazy about shopping and usually buy things that they don’t need. Even though they don’t have enough money, they buy everything they want.
The question is: why do they have this addiction? There isn’t a good answer. Some people go shopping when they are sad, worried, upset or lonely and they want to feel better. They use this activity as a way to forget their problems. Shopaholics say they feel more important and better after they buy something. They also tend to have this activity when they feel guilty(负罪感的).
Shopaholism seems to be a harmless addiction, but it can cause many problems. People addicted to shopping should go to a support group to help them break this habit.
