   A group of police blocks off narrow streets with their cars. They move quietly,spot the target,and close in,taking a group of smugglers(走私贩) by surprise. A few seconds later,the victims are discovered.

   The location: a street market in the city of Sao Paulo,Brazil. The victims: birds,American lizards,and tortoises snatched(抢走） from the wild. The smugglers planned to sell them at the market.

   “People who want to own a wild animal fbel the illegal wild animal trade,” says Juliana Machado Ferreira,a National Geographic explorer who works to fight the illegal wildlife trade.

   Smugglers use special ways to take the animals through airport security checks. But smart police use their own tricks to catch them. Read the following story.

   How many finches — small singing birds — can you fit inside a purse? At least 25 ,as it turns out. When a woman from Guyana,a country in northeast South America,started acting nervously at JFK airport,U.S., customers and border protection agents x-rayed her bags. They found birds called seed finches stuffed inside hair curlers!The agent called FWS (Fish & Wildlife Service) officers to take the birds,which will live at a zoo. The woman,however,was singing a different song.

   When Chad Pregracke was a teenager in East Moline,Illinois,he and his father lived and worked on the Mississippi River — or rather,in it.

   Budget cuts and an increased focus on testing have made field trips,once a popular way to get students out of the classroom,increasingly rare.

   “Local school districts don't have the funds (money kept for particular purposes) anymore”’ says Stephanie Norby,director ofthe Smithsonian Center for Education and Museum Studies in Washington,   D. C. The Smithsonian museums are some of the most popular field trip destinations in the country. Although there is little hard data to definitively prove that schools are taking fewer field trips,Norby says it seems as though fewer schools have visited the Smithsonian in recent years.

   Money once spent on field trips is being spent to help students prepare for standardized tests that might make or break a teacher's evaluation,according to Randi Weingarten,president of the American Federation of Teachers,a union that represents more than 1 million educators nationwide.

   “In school these days,if people have a dollar to spare,they spend it on test prep because they get regulated there,”she says.

   Field trips provide students with a window to the real world that they don't get in the classroom,and they can help students . understand real-world applications of seemingly abstract topics in math and science,says Weingarten.

   Susan Singer,CEO of Field Trip Factory,an organization that has spent the last 18 years designing free field trip outlines for schools nationwide,says she thinks schools are merely scheduling around testing.

   “During testing periods,we don't see a lot of field trips,” she says. “Either right before or right after a standardized test,we get a shut door.” 

   Spending time outside the classroom doesn't mean students aren't learning knowledge that could show up on standardized tests. Several studies have shown that students acquire more information and skills through the type of experience-based learning that field trips provide when compared to in-class learning.

   A field trip should be relevant to topics students are studying in school. That way,the Smithsonian's Norby says,it will have a lasting effect.

32. Why is it difficult for schools to take field trips according to Norby?

   A. Students dislike the trips.

   B. They are short of finances.

   C. They have fewer destinations.

   D. Field trips are harder to organize.

33. What do we learn from Weingarten?

   A. Standardized tests can measure student learning.

   B. Money for field trips is used for test preparation.

   C. Schools’ education budgets are properly regulated.

   D. Schools encourage students to know the real world.

34. In the author's opinion,field trips .

   A. may lead to lower test scores

   B. sometimes waste a lot of time

   C. help students gain more knowledge

   D. are less important than in-class learning 

35. The text is mainly about .

   A. the advantages of in-class learning

   B. the effect of standardized tests

   C. the problem of budget cuts

   D. the decline of field trips

   It's easy to spot signs of physical suffering,but much emotional pain can be easily masked. 36 “We don't tend to have conversations about mental well-being,” says Dr. Barbara Van Dahlen,a clinic psychologist. Simply asking someone “How are you” may just get “Fine,thank you”，says Van Dahlen. “It's important to be aware of what could lead to somebody needing help they’ re afraid to ask for ,” she adds. The following are four signs a friend might need help.

   37 

   If you sense something different about the way your friend is acting — maybe he's not smiling much these days,for instance — trust your feelings and reach out. “Try saying ,‘I see these things. I care about you. Can I be of help?’ ” Van Dahlen says.

   He's unusually unhappy or annoyed.

   38 “It may take more than one time to follow up if you’ re talking to someone who is upset ,” Van Dahlen says,but if a friend responds with anger,that could mean you,re onto something.

   He's less put together than usual.

   Drinking more and ignoring personal hygiene (卫生) can be signs that someone is in trouble. Don’t consider these behaviors are nothing. 39 

   He seems overwhelmed(压倒) by life.

   No one is happy all the time,but if your once optimistic friend can't find anything to be hopeful about,he may be having thoughts of worthlessness,sadness and something negative. “40 ” says Van Dahlen, “so that more people can get the help they need."

   A. He's acting a bit more withdrawn.

   B. He doesn’ t seem like himself lately.

   C. Instead treat them as a sign to care for your friend.

   D. Getting angry quickly and easily can be a sign that something is wrong.

   E. It's a constant effort to bring into the open discussions about mental health,

   F. Many people avoid talking about it no matter how close they are to someone.

   G. We want people to get comfortable being more open and discussing mental health,

   E-cigarettes began as a way to stop people from smoking tobacco. But a new study among teens suggests a scary. effect: E-cigarettes are now appealing to non-smokers,as well. In a survey of over 2 ,000 California high school juniors and seniors,researchers from the University of Southern California discovered that over 40 percent of teen e-cigarette smokers have never smoked traditional cigarettes.

   The National Youth Tobacco Survey reports a nearly 9 percent increase in the number of high school students using e-cigarettes from 2013 to 2014,more than enough to stifle (掩盖) the 3. 5 percent decrease in teen cigarette use,as recorded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. While 9 percent may not sound like a ton,the amount of middle and high school students using e-cigarettes has actually tripled(增至三倍) .

   How,despite decades of anti-smoking advocacy efforts,have e-cigarettes gained such massive popularity in such a short time? Scientists say that the “renormalization” of teen smoking may not be entirely self-inflicted(自己造成的) .A study found that 34 percent of adolescent e-smokers are exposed to electronic cigarettes via a member of their family or friend groups.

   Advertising also makes e-cigarettes look cool. E-cigarettes,which are not very expensive,are marketed as a safe alternative to traditional cigarettes,and teens are buying the message. In a recent study in North Carolina,high schoolers easily made a list of the dangers of smoking tobacco,but when asked to do the same with regard to e-cigarettes,the teens were unsure whether the devices could be considered safe. Some weren't even aware that e-cigarettes contain nicotine. But e-cigarettes do contain nicotine. It is highly addictive,which is why some consider e-cigarettes a gateway drug.

   If stressing the dangers of tobacco helped make cigarettes uncool,we can do the same to destroy e-cigarettes.

   A. few tobacco smokers quit smoking

   B. non-smokers are attracted to e-cigarettes

   C. more and more people are smoking tobacco

   D. smokers are replacing tobacco with e-cigarettes

   A. 3. 5%   B. 9% 

   C. 27%   D. 40%

31. About one third of teen e-smokers use e-cigarettes because of .

   A. e-cigarettes’ low prices

   B. cool designs of e-cigarettes

   C. the influence of people around them.

   D. their dislike of traditional cigarettes

32. What can we infer from Paragraph 4 ?

   A. E-cigarettes are different from drugs.

   B. Most teens know the dangers of e-cigarettes.

   C. E-cigarettes are safer than traditional cigarettes.

   D. Teens are misled by e-cigarette advertisements.

   Rose,a middle-aged woman,stopped what she was doing and looked closely over her reading glasses. I could tell from her expression she wasn't pleased to see a student worker.

   I filled the 40-cup pot with cold water and began making coffee when Rose yelled, “That's not the way to make coffee!M She stepped in and took over.

Nothing I did pleased her.

   Back at home,I stayed alone in my room,fighting back tears. I thought, “Maybe she didn’t feel well. Maybe she had some,trouble." I decided to forgive her and try to get along with her.

   Over the next few days an amazing thing began to happen. My focus shifted from what she was doing to me,and I started seeing Rose as the person she was hurting. The icy tension began to melt away.

   Throughout the rest of the summer,we had numerous opportunities to work together. Each time she seemed happy to see me. As I worked with this lonely woman,I listened to her — something no one else had done. I learned that she was burdened by elderly parents who needed her care and her own health problems.
