Poaching(偷猎) has been threatening the survival of the African black rhino for long.Butthanks to conservation efforts，the population of this endangered animal is slowly increasing，
according to a recent update of the International Union for Conservation of Nature(IUCN) Red List
of Threatened Species.
Between 2012 and 2018，the number of black rhinos in Africa has increased moderately，at
an annual rate of 2.5%.The population in the wild has grown from approximately 4,845 to 5,630.As
IUCN’s update suggests，the population models predict the number will continue to rise slowly
over the next five years.
The white rhino，Africa’s another rhino species that exists in greater numbers，has been on
the IUCN Red List categorized as Near Threatened.Compared to the black rhino，the white rhino
is at higher risk of being poached as it has larger horns and prefers more open habitats，which
makes it easier to spot.
The threat to the two species mainly comes from poaching for the illegal international rhino
horn trade.Fortunately，in recent years，a number of groups including range states，private
landowners，and communities have been making efforts to protect them，and the measures are
working.In 2015，there were at least 1,349 rhinos poached—an average of 3.7 rhinos hunted per
day.Since then，the poaching numbers have decreased every year.In 2018，there were at least 892
rhinos poached，meaning approximately 2.4 African rhinos poached per day，or one every 10
hours.The data for 2019 looks promising as the poaching levels appear to have further gone down.
Although the levels of rhino poaching have been declining slightly in recent years due to
conservation efforts，the costs of keeping rhinos safe have greatly gone up and sale prices for live
rhinos have decreased considerably over the last 10 years ，making private landowners and
communities less motivated to protect rhinos.This trend could delay the continued progress of
expanding the species range and numbers.

Healthcare staff and bank clerks have been on the front line of the health and economic crises
striking the UK，but behind the scenes，another group of workers，robots，have been toiling
away and overcoming both emergencies with no fear of COVID19.But will COVID19 speed up
the rise of robots?
Robotic Process Automation(RPA)is software that robotizes repetitive backoffice tasks.The
National Health Service(NHS)has used it during the widespread disease to control demand and
capacity planning in caring for all levels of patients day and night.Jason Kingdon，Blue Prism’s
new chief executive who is recovering from COVID19，says，“Before RPA，these were
manual processes.You had to train a number of staff to put them in place.Now，you only need to
train a single robot to manage the administration.” More than two fifths of bosses across 45
countries that responded to a survey by EY(Ernst &Young) said they were planning on accelerating
spending on automation technology to prepare for a postCovid world.
COVID19 has already left tens of millions unemployed，so firms won’t be short of cheap
labour on the other side of the crisis.But experts still think AI will be the more cautious choice for
companies.One of them said，“It’s important to remember that even in China，which has muchlower wages,12.5 million manufacturing jobs have been cut over the past four years as more robots
have been adopted.”
However，AI is overhyped in many ways and poor application could lead to a rise in anxiety
towards automation.Again，we should think of history as a guide.A lot of riots in the early 19th
century happened during the continental blockade of the Napoleonic Wars when there was
significant disruption to trade in Britain.These things are not unrelated.

的趋势，介绍了机器人在新冠肺炎期间做出的一些贡献和优势，以及人们对此的看
法。
8．What does the underlined phrase “toiling away” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A．Working hard. B．Working lazily.
C．Walking slowly. D．Walking toughly.

的前线，但在幕后，另一组工人机器人在无惧新冠肺炎的情况下，一直在辛勤工作，克服这
两种紧急情况。故画线词组意思是“努力工作”。故选A。

A．He wishes to employ more human staff.

C．He prefers robots’ working efficiency.

administration.”可推知机器人的工作效率非常高，Jason Kingdon的话表明他喜欢机器人的
工作效率。故选C。
10．What’s the author’s attitude to robots?
A．Supportive. B．Worried.
C．Indifferent. D．Opposed.

and poor application could lead to a rise in anxiety towards automation.”可推知，作者对机器人
持担忧态度。故选B。

Why Gratitude Is Significant
As far as I’m concerned，no matter what you’re going through，there is always a reason
to be thankful.But not only that—being thankful might just be exactly what you need to do if
you’re going through a tough time. 1
Researchers found that having a grateful attitude helps strengthen one’s immune system，
lower blood pressure，improve sleep and motivate people to exercise regularly. 2 Practicing
gratitude also has been associated with better quality of life for individuals who struggle with
stress，anxiety and depression.
Having gone through a period of depression myself after cancer surgery 10 years ago，I can
tell you this illness can be severe. 3 I knew I was in trouble when I couldn’t eat or sleep.It
took me well over a year to come out of that dark valley.
During that time I sought forms of treatment for depression ， including professional
counseling and exercise.One thing recommended to me by a counselor was keeping a gratitude
journal. 4
This simple exercise lifts my sight out of the darkness and helps me see the truth around：there are
people who love and care for you；there’s purpose in life.
5 In reality，there is no single cure for it.If suffering，you may prefer to seek
professional counseling and care.Still，I would encourage you to practice gratitude.Think of a few
things you can thank life for.You might be surprised by how significant an effect it can have.
A．Every day，I would set down three things I was thankful for in life.
B．Now I realize depression does not go away by practicing a single exercise.
C．It itself carries a host of health benefits.
D．Being grateful accounts for your recovery.
E．Gratitude is good for your mind，body and soul.
F．Depression makes you feel as if you are dead inside.
G．For example，I would sincerely convey my gratitude loudly.
