There are eighteen kinds of bats in Britain
and all of them are endangered. The greater
horseshoe bat is one of them. There are few of
them because people pull down old buildings
and cut down trees. They have no place to live.
There are only about 5,000 bats in the UK now.
The Amur Tigers are in danger. People kill
them for their meat and fur. They also cut down
trees and make them homeless. In the 1930s,
there were only 20 of them. Then people began
to realize that they should protect the Amur
Tiger. Now there are about 360 Amur Tigers in
the world. About 20 of them are in China.People may see the mandarin duck (鸳鸯)
on pools and lakes in Britain, but its native
home is across Eastern Asia, in Russia, China,
Korea and Japan. The mandarin duck is on
water near forests. However, forests and rivers
are disappearing. It makes the mandarin duck
fewer and fewer.

If you live in Shanghai, Beijing or many other cities, you may see many orange bicycles on the streets these
days.
These bikes are owned by a company called Mobike. You can order a bike through an app on your phone.
When you find a bike, you just scan a QR code (扫描二维码) on the bike so that you can use it. You don’t need to
return the bike to a station-you can park it anywhere.
China was known as “the kingdom of bicycles” about 30 years ago. But more people choose to drive cars and
take the subway these days. Bike rental (租赁的) services like Mobike are bringing bikes back. “Back then, I got
the feeling that Chinese people were trying to be modern and push away the past. So they did not want to be linked
with bicycles,” said Ines Brunn, a German woman who runs a bike store in Beijing. “I do believe changes in
people’s tastes will shape new thinking about bikes.”
Online rental services are making biking more convenient, but it’s still not easy to ride bikes in Chinese cities.
Cars often take up bicycle lanes (道路). Bikers have to ride next to cars in car lanes, which can be very dangerous.
Beijing plans to build over 3,200 km of new bike lanes. Drivers who drive in bike lanes will be punished.
Traffic signs will be put up to better protect bikers.
32. If you want to use a Mobike, ________.A. you have to scan a QR code B. you don’t need to pay for it
C. you don’t have to return it D. you have to pay for an app
33. What does Ines Brunn mean when she says people’s tastes are changing?
A. Chinese people like modern things. B. Chinese people like riding bicycles.
C. People in Beijing are changing their tastes. D. More people will restart riding bikes.
34. How will Beijing stop cars from taking up bicycle lanes?
①People will not be allowed to ride bikes next to cars.
②Beijing will build new bike lanes.
③Beijing will punish drivers who drive in bike lanes.
④Beijing will put up traffic signs to protect bikers.
A. ①③④ B. ②③④ C. ①②③ D. ①②④
.
35 Which is the best title for the passage?
A. How to use a Mobike B. Orange bikes will be fashionable
C. Bikes’ bringing back D. Why is Beijing building new bike lanes
C
Later School Start Helps Kids Get Zzz
Teenagers have been sleeping less. This is an issue all across the United States. Research from Harvard
Medical School shows that having less sleep can make teens fat and cause some developmental problems. Because
of the increasing use of devices like smartphones and computers, students today are staying up late. Many teens use
them long after dark. “At night, I am on my phone and I just want to stay up. I often wake up so tired that I wish I
could go back to sleep,” Hazel Ostrowski, a high school student, said.
To make matters worse, 93% of high schools and 83% of middle schools in the U.S. start before 8:30 a. m.
That time goes against official health advice from American Academy of Pediatrics (美国儿科学会). Schools do
not want late start times, because it will cause traffic problems. Parents also want older kids to come home early to
watch younger kids in the afternoons.
But some studies suggest that students between the ages of 11 and 17 get enough sleep on school nights.
Therefore, some researchers suggest starting school late.
Researchers are studying later school start times in Seattle, Washington. The Seattle School District (区) made
a big time change in the fall of 2016. The change was for high schools and most middle schools. Before, the first
bell rang at 7:50 a. m. After the change, classes began at 8:45 a. m.
The researchers worked with science teachers at two high schools in Seattle, and 178 teenagers took part in
the study. They wore activity monitors to discover whether a later start to the school day would help them get moresleep. The researchers compared sleep habits (习惯) of these teens in spring 2016，before the change, to sleep
habits of them from spring 2017, after later start times began.
What changed was wake-up time. Morning wake-up time changed from 6:24 a. m. to 7:08 a. m. Falling asleep
changed only a bit. It went from 11 :27p. m. to 11:38 p. m.
Researchers noticed that there were fewer late students after the changes. The study also found the students
got about 34 more minutes of sleep each night. Students also felt less sleepy in the daytime. Their grades improved
as well. It seems a later start to school is helping students.
36. In the first paragraph, the writer gives the example of Hazel to show________.
A. students wake up tired from sleeping too long
B. students want to stay up late to have a good time
C. students become much fatter for taking less exercise
D. students sleep less because of using smartphones long
37. According to the study, the Seattle School District ________.
A. starts school at 8:30 in the morning B. starts school 55 minutes later than usual
C. asks students to change their sleeping habits D. asks parents to make sure their kids go to bed early
38. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Reasons for later school start. B. Advantages of later school start.
C. Causes of less sleep in students. D. Solutions to the problem of sleeping less.
阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。
American and British people both speak English, but sometimes it doesn’t seem like the same language.
First of all they sound very different. Often, Americans don’t say all the letters in each word, especially
consonants like “t” and “d”. For example, Americans may say “I dunno” instead of “I don’t know”. However, the
British usually pronounce their consonants（辅音）more carefully.
Also, some letters have different sounds. For example, Americans say the “a” in “half” like the “a” in “cat”,
but the British say the “a” in “half” like the “a” in “aah”.
Sound is not the only difference between British English and American English.
The two languages have words for same things. For example, the words for clothing are different. Americans
use the word “sweater”, but the British say “jumper”.
Many other words and expressions are different in the two countries. In England, if you are going to telephone
a friend, you “ring her up”. In America, you “give her a call”. The British use the word “lovely” to describe
something they like. Americans use the word “cool” or “great”.
There are also some differences in grammar. For example, Americans almost always use the helping verb “do”with the verb “have”. They might say “Do you have an extra pen?” The British often ask the question in a different
way. They might say “Have you got an extra pen?”
These differences can be confusing if you are learning English. But there is a reason for the differences.
Languages change over time. When the same language is used in different places, it changes differently in each
place. This is what happened to English. It also happened to other languages, such as French. Many people in
Canada speak French, but their French is different from the French spoken in France.
