African elephants can now be counted from space, using high resolution images (高清图像)．The researchers say the new technology can be used to protect the animals better.

The researchers used satellites (卫星) 372 miles above the earth to take some of the highest resolution images．They then made a computer program that could identify (识别) elephants within the images (图像)．Dr Olga Isupova, from the University of Bath, told the BBC, “We could train the machine to see small details that we wouldn’t be able to pick up with our eyes.”

Usual ways of counting elephants are to fly above them in the planes or get humans to count the animals on satellite images．This can be difficult, because elephants are hard to be seen when they are among trees or tall grass．It takes a long time and mistakes can be made．The new technology means elephants can be counted more correctly and the work is much faster．The computers can do the same amount of counting in a few hours by the new technology instead of (代替) humans’ monthly work．Clouds still are a challenge, because they can block (遮挡) the satellites’ view．Luckily though, most places where the elephants live do not have much cloud.

The researchers say the new technology can help to save elephant populations from being hunted (捕猎), because it is easier to find where the elephants are and so plans can be made to protect them.

33．What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A．The elephants.              B．The images.                  C．The satellites.                D．The researchers.

34．How does the writer organize Paragraph 3?

A．By giving examples.    B．By comparing facts.    C．By listing numbers.    D．By telling stories.

35．Which one of the following is true about the new technology?

A．It will miss the elephants among trees.

B．It collects images taken from planes.

C．It takes less time to do the counting.

D．Clouds are not a problem for it at all.

36．What is the best title for the text?

A．Plans to Stop Hunting Elephants

B．A New Technology of Counting

C．Protecting Elephants from Space

D．Growing Populations of Elephants

五、阅读填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）

A．请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中各小题的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填1个单词。

All children should grow up happily and healthily．However, some children are facing or will face abuse（虐待）in their lives．They’ll be hurt or touched on private(私人的) parts of their body．We call these unsafe touches and they are abuse．Unsafe touches are scary and confusing（迷惑的）because they can seem playful or gentle．Even if it can be very hard to talk about it for children who experience unsafe touches from a friend or family member, we have to talk about it.

The following six rules are “The Protect Yourself Rules” created by Barbara Sinatra Children’s Center Foundation．Children can use these rules to know unsafe situations when they see them and to know how to get away if they need it.

Safe Touch, Unsafe Touch

We know safe touches are hugs from our family or high-fives with our friends．But unsafe touches are touches on private parts of your body．No one should ever touch you on your part of body that are covered by your bathing suit or ask you to touch their private parts．However, it is okay for a doctor to touch you on your private parts when giving you a check-up when your mom or dad is in the room.

Tell a Grown-up

If someone gives you an unsafe touch, they might want you to keep it a secret．They might make you promise or give you presents to keep you from telling．But you always have to tell．You can tell your parents or another grown-up what has happened．It’s never your fault if someone touches you like this．Keep telling until someone helps you and makes sure the unsafe touches never happen again.

Stranger Safety

A stranger is a person you don’t know．Most strangers are usually nice and friendly．We don’t have to be afraid of them but we should always make smart choices around the people we don’t know．Being smart means don’t be alone with strangers or go anywhere with them even if they seem nice.

Doesn’t Matter Who It Is

Besides strangers, we should protect ourselves from any potential abuse．Even if someone may be your friend, your private parts should never be touched．But, also keep in mind that most people are good and we shouldn’t be afraid of people around us with an uneasy psychology.

Hitting Is Wrong

If someone hits you, or you see someone is being hurt, remember to tell another grown-up．Telling teachers and asking for their help is also a good choice.

Shout, Run, Tell

If anyone makes you feel unsafe, shout “stop!” or “don’t touch me!” loudly and clearly．It doesn’t matter who it is or where you are．Shout at them to stop, run away and tell the adults you trust．Don’t be scared．Shout as loud as you can．The more people that hear you, the better.

We hope children abuse never happens, but if someone hurts you, remember these six rules and use them to protect yourself.

B．请根据短文内容和首字母提示，填写所缺单词，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为1—10的相应位置上。

参考答案

一、单项填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）

1．B

【解析】句意：——你认识那个叫杰克的男孩吗？——当然了。我们从九岁或十岁就认识了。

考查连词辨析。before在……之前；since自从；until直到；when当……的时候。由“we were nine or ten”可知，此处表达“自从我们九岁或十岁时”；分析句子可知，本句为现在完成时，“since”可用于现在完成时表示“自从”。故选B。

2．A

【解析】句意：——这本杂志多贵啊！——时尚杂志很贵，尤其是有很多彩色图片的杂志。

考查副词。especially尤其是；mostly主要地；mainly主要地；exactly准确地。根据下文“if they have lots of colour pictures”可知，此处是对上文时尚杂志很贵的进步解释与说明，故应用especially。

…………
