Wild animals are our friends, but many of them are getting fewer and fewer. We
should try to protect them. The four animals below are now in danger.
Tibetan Antelopes
Tibetan antelopes( 藏 羚 羊 ) mainly feed on grass. They are usually found in
groups of about 20. People killed them for their warm and soft wool(羊毛) to make it
into expensive clothes. The number of them is smaller and smaller year by year. There
are less than 75，000 Tibetan antelopes left in the world, down from a million 50 years
ago.
Golden Monkeys
Golden monkeys have golden orange fur. They move around in the daytime,
usually in groups of as many as 100 to 200 heads, or 20 to 30 heads. They feed on
fruits and young leaves of bamboo. But people are destroying(毁坏) the environment
where they live. Trees and bamboo are disappearing(消失), so golden monkeys have
less and less to eat.
Elephants
Elephants are bigger than any other animal on land. They have long trunks(象鼻)
and tusks(象牙). They have poor eyesight(视力), but very good hearing and smell.
Elephants are very friendly towards each other and towards their neighbours. They
usually live in a group for many years. Now, there are very few elephants in the world.
8
The number of them is becoming smaller and smaller because their living areas are
used for farming. Also, people hunt them for their tusks.
Wolves
Wolves are not very big. They have very good eyesight, hearing and smell.
Wolves are friendly to each other and never attack(攻击) people. They do not kill for
fun. Wolves are in danger, too. They are losing their living areas because people cut
down forests. Soon they will have no home or food.
( )64. Tibetan antelopes usually live in groups of about ____.
A. 20 B. 30 C. 100 D. 200
( )65. Which of the following animals are the biggest on land?
A. Tibetan antelopes. B. Golden monkeys.
C. Elephants. D. Wolves.
( )66. Golden monkeys feed on ____.
A. fruits B. young leaves of bamboo
C. meat D. both A and B
( )67. Which of the following sentences is right?

C. Elephants have good eyesight, but very poor hearing and smell.

How do you study every day? You may answer it in one second: have classes at
school, take notes and do homework. Feeling a little bored? There are other ways that
can make learning interesting and varied. It's called digital learning.
Digital learning is a way to help students learn by using the Internet. There are
three important kinds of digital learning. Apps are computer software applications(应
用 ). People can download them on their mobiles. The other two kinds are social
networking services, including Weibo and WeChat and websites. Each one of them is
like your teacher. They help you master what you learn at school.
Compared with traditional learning ways, digital learning has its advantages.
9
Digital learning is also varied. It covers almost every school subject. More
importantly, it always offers students the newest resources(资源)to learn from.
Digital learning is also personalized. You can choose what you like to learn. If
you don't master what you have learned at school, you can learn again through digital
ways.
However, digital learning also has disadvantages. When you use digital ways to
learn, you've got little chance of talking with teachers and classmates. As digital
learning uses computers or smartphones, watching the screen too long may be bad for
your eyes. It is better to take a rest every 20 minutes.
( )68. How do students usually study every day according to the passage?
A. Have classes at school and use online tools at home.
B Have classes at school, take notes and do homework.
C. Learn through digital ways and have classes in the classroom.
D Have classes, take notes and do homework at school.
( )69. Three important kinds of digital learning are mentioned in the passage.
They are ____.
a. Apps b. smartphones c. computers
d. websites e. mobiles f. Weibo and WeChat
A. abf B. adf C. bce D. cde
( )70. The underlined word “master” in Paragraph 2 most probably means
“____”.
A. 复习 B 分析 C. 掌握 D. 归纳
( )71. What is the problem of digital learning?
A. You can't communicate with your classmates or teachers.
B. You have to use both computers and smartphones.
C. You can't decide what you want to learn by yourself.
D. It's impossible to learn from the newest resources.
( )72. How can you protect your eyes when learning through digital ways?
A. Try to take a rest for 20 minutes when watching the screen.
B. Try to use traditional ways to learn as often as possible.
10
C. Try to take a break every twenty minutes if possible.
D Try to learn through digital ways less than 2 hours a day.

13
Hefei，the capital of Anhui，is a beautiful city with a long history and it is in the
middle of Anhui. I think it's a good idea to take a plane to Hefei from America ，
because it is a long journey.
You can go sightseeing at any time of the year. In order to enjoy the wonderful
sights in Dashu Mountain，going hiking is the best choice. The Swan Lake is more
beautiful. You can take a bus or a taxi to get there to have a great time with your
friends. The water and the beach will make you feel relaxed. You can also learn about
the history of Hefei by visiting Li Hongzhang's Old House.
The longer you stay in Hefei，the more you will love it. So why not plan to have a
long holiday here?
