题目内容

【题目】There are many dangerous sea creatures in the world. The following are some examples.

The needlefish are commonly seen living near the surface of tropical (热带的) waters. But they can also break cover the water,and once in the air they can become dangerous flying swords. Though it is rare,people have been seriously hurt and even killed by the fish.Night fishermen in small boats are at particular risk because their lights may attract the fish.

Saltwater crocodiles are the world's largest crocodiles,sometimes reaching 23 feet in length and topping 2,200 pounds. Yet these crocodiles hunt quietly,lying in wait below shoreline waters to attack turtles and thirsty animals that have come to drink. Saltwater crocodiles kill a number of people each year.

There is no doubt that the great white shark sits atop the ocean food chain. The world's largest fish can weigh at over 5,000 pounds and reach lengths of more than 20 feet. Great white sharks have about 3,000 teeth,which they typically sink into sea lions,seals,and sea turtles. These sharks are responsible for a third to a half of the 100 shark attacks on humans every year.

The sea anemone (海葵) may look like the beautiful flower for which it's named,but fish that swim too close may regret it. The sea anemone,which lives on the sea floor,uses its poisonous tentacles (触须) to stab passing creatures with a kind of poison—making them helpless and fit to be eaten.

The surgeonfish (刺尾鱼) is an attractive reef fish that is poisonous. Scientists believe that the world's seas hold some 1, 200 different surgeonfish species and think that they injure about

50,000 people per year. But the surgeonfish poison can also bring great benefit—they are useful in the development of new drugs.

D. go back to

【题目】South Africa’s Street Store doesn’t just help to clothe the homeless, but also gives them the shopping experience of choosing what they want. With the idea to give the homeless the same dignity as customers who can pay, the Street Store sets up their pop-up cardboard shop in Cape Town, inviting customers in need to browse through the offerings and choose an outfit for themselves from the hundreds of donated items at their will.

The Street Store works closely with local council to get permission to pop-up their sidewalk shops in poor areas around Cape Town. Because of the social conditions in South Africa, over half of the children live in poverty, making the Street Store even more popular.

The Street Store displays a row of cardboard “hangers” (衣架), with boxes neatly arranged below each one. On the hangers hang shirts, T-shirts, trousers and dresses donated by the Cape Town public. In the boxes below, multiple pairs of shoes await a new owner. Street Store volunteers also act as store consultants, offering fashion advice to their customers as they try on chosen donated items.

The Street Store has already reached thousands in the Cape Town area, with over 1,000 satisfied homeless customers visiting on their first day in operation. The program gives the homeless not only a change to pick up some needed clothing, but also restores confidence by giving them a retail experience—even when pocket money doesn’t allow it.

【写作内容】

1. 用约30个单词概述上述信息的主要内容;

2.span> 结合上述信息,谈谈你对the Street Store的看法

3. 假设你是the Street Store活动的参与者,你怎么做?(不少于两点)

2. 作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称;
