Bertie knew there was something in the wind. His mother had been sad in recent days,

not sick, just strangely sad. The lion had just lain down beside him, his head warm on Bertie’s

feet, when Father cleared his throat and began, “You’ll soon be eight, Bertie. A boy needs a

proper education. We’ve found the right place for you, a school near Salisbury in England.”

His heart filled with a terrible fear, all Bertie could think of was his white lion. “But the

lion,” he cried, “What about the lion?”

“I’m afraid there’s something else I have to tell you,” his father said. Looking across at

Bertie’s mother, he took a deep breath. Then he told Bertie he had met a circus owner from

France, who was over in Africa looking for lions to buy. He would come to their farm in a

few days.

“No! You can’t send him to a circus!” said Bertie. “He’ll be shut up behind bars. I

promised him he never would be. And they will come to see him and laugh at him. He’d

rather die. Any animal would!” But as he looked across the table at them, he knew their

minds were quite made up.

Bertie felt completely betrayed. He waited until he heard his father’s deep breathing next

door. With his white lion at his heels, he crept downstairs in his pyjamas, took down his

father’s rifle from the rack and stepped out into the night. He ran and ran till his legs could

run no more. As the sun came up over the grassland, he climbed to the top of a hill and sat

down, his arms round the lion’s neck. The time had come. “Be wild now,” he whispered.

“You’ve got to be wild. Don’t ever come home. All my life I’ll think of you, I promise I will.”

He buried his head in the lion’s neck. Then, Bertie clambered down off the hill and walked

away.

When he looked back, the lion was still sitting there watching him; but then he stood up,

D．Make a donation. yawned, stretched, and sprang down after him. Bertie shouted at him, but he kept coming. He

threw sticks. He threw stones. Nothing worked.

There was only one thing left to do. Tears filling his eyes and his mouth, he lifted the

rifle to his shoulder and fired over the lion’s head.

On the edge of the Atlantic, there is much more water on islands. Experts say the Uists

(尤伊斯特群岛) in the UK, known as the “long isles” as they stretch for 100 miles, are on the

front line of climate change and some of those who call this home are already adapting to

their changing landscape. Donald MacPhee, an islander told BBC, “We seem to be getting a

lot more rain—very unpredictable, but back in my father’s days you could guarantee that

you’d have plenty of dry weather in August. But now it’s very unpredictable.” This low-lying

watery landscape is weak to changes in our climate—with predictions that the sea level here

could rise by as much as half a meter over the next few decades.

And that’s not the only challenge facing these islands which are so exposed to wet and

stormy weather. Professor Stewart Angus, a coastal ecologist said, “A lot of the land actually

lies below the level of the sea for much of the tidal cycle. Secondly, you have rising sea levels.

Thirdly, you have rising rainfall in winter. Thus you have the great difficulty in a very

low-lying environment of removing that water. In fact, the rising sea level alone has the

B．protect himself from being chased

D．show his anger towards his father potential to raise water levels within the islands by progressively reducing the effectiveness of

an ageing drainage network.”

The airport here provides a lifeline service to islanders. A million pounds has been spent

on the latest work to protect the runway, which ends just meters from the shore. At the islands’

arts center, a picture of a rising line is shown. Andy Mackinnon, an artist told us, “So, the line

represents a symbolic level that the sea will rise to. I hope that it does make people think

about what we’re doing.”

And from the children here, out of taking care of their local beach, messages in English

and Gaelic (盖尔语) of their hopes and fears are being sent to the UN climate summit in

Glasgow. “Stop sea levels rising. We could be under the water soon.” These small islands

hope for big commitments from world leaders to lessen the worst that climate change might

bring.

8．What does the first paragraph imply?

A．The Uists have been under the sea water.

B．The weather here now is still predictable.

C．The islands are at risk due to climate change.

D．The sea level will rise by 0.5 meter in decades.

9．What is the big challenge for islanders now according to Paragraph 2?

A．Wet and hot weather.

C．Protecting the runway.

B．The irregular tidal cycle.

D．Getting rid of the water.

10．What is Andy Mackinnon’s attitude towards the islands?

A．Concerned. B．Indifferent. C．Neutral. D．Relieved.

11．What might be talked about in the paragraph following the text?

A．What action the UK government will take.

B．What help the UN can provide for islanders.

C．What relief supplies children here will receive.

D．What other effects climate change may bring.

Scientists have an unlikely new helper while exploring the Earth’s crust (地壳) deep

beneath the ocean: Fin whales. New research, published Thursday in Science, finds these Fin

whale calls’ sound waves can help create images of the seafloor down to 2. 5 kilometers.

Seafloor imaging, which is important for studying things like earthquake mechanics and

试卷第4页，共12页 carbon storage capacity, usually uses large air guns that send waves of sound downwards. The

sound waves go through the crust and bounce back to instruments on the seafloor, carrying

information about the structures they travel through. But such surveys are expensive, and the

guns’ explosive noise may interrupt sea creatures that use sound to communicate.

Vaclav Kuna, the study co-author, was studying earthquakes when he noticed strange

readings on the seafloor seismic (地震的) instruments, which turned out to match the

frequencies of fin whale calls. Whale songs often appear in such instruments’ records, says

Emily Roland, a marine seismologist at the University of Washington. Seismologists usually

see these signals as annoyance. Kuna, however, noticed that the signals were not coming

directly from the whales, but were echoes bouncing back from within the crust.

This technique does have limitations, Kuna says. Fin whale songs are limited in

frequency, meaning the subsurface images are not as clear as those made with air guns.

Additionally, a relatively flat seafloor is needed to triangulate (作三角测量) the whales’

positions while multiple stations would be needed in uneven or mountainous regions, he says.

Nevertheless, these whales are found almost everywhere except the ice-covered areas of

the Arctic. The whale calls’ wide existence means they could provide new insight into old

seismic datasets, Roland says. “At least the whale songs can serve as an additional source of

signals. They are free and they are always there,” Kuna says. “It’s a win-win.”

12．What do we know about seafloor imaging in Paragraph 2?

A．It may affect some sea animals.

C．It is not completely accurate.

13．What can we infer about fin whale calls?

A．They can help scientists to locate their habitats.

B．They are easy to record and measure in the ocean.

C．They are likely to be used for seafloor imaging.

D．They have different frequencies among fin whales.

14．What is the potential use of fin whale songs?

A．Exchanging messages between whales.

B．Working as an extra source of signals.

C．Providing useful insights into whales.

D．Exploring the ice-covered areas of the Arctic.

15．What is the best title for the text?

试卷第5页，共12页

B．It can help predict earthquakes.

D．It is environmentally-friendly. A．Fin Whale Calls Reveal Structure beneath Ocean Floor

B．Fin Whales Communicate by Singing Special Songs

C．Fin Whale Protection Is a Win-win Move for All

D．Seafloor Imaging Helps to Locate More Resources

On a Friday evening in December, two weeks before Christmas, I lost my job. I hadn’t

seen it coming. I was excited for the weekend, when my daughter, Kristil, then 12, and I

planned to get our Christmas tree. Then I listened to my voicemail. “We’re sorry, madame,

but your work assignment has ended as of today.” My heart sank.

My paycheck was what our survival relied on. I did everything I could to give Kristil a

good life, but there were some things my love couldn’t fix. The next day as we searched for

our tree, I struggled to be cheerful as I eyed the Christmas tree prices. Kristil noticed I was

试卷第9页，共12页 worried and I told her I had lost my job. She wanted to give me the $100 that Grandma gave

her, but I refused.

Monday morning, I dropped Kristil at school and set off on my money-making pursuits.

I headed to the pawnshop (当铺) with a gold ring my mother had given me, and they gave me

$70. Next was the antiques store. I sold six Precious Moments statuettes for $150. I ended the

day $220 richer.

Over the next week, I furiously (猛烈地) applied for jobs as my bank account grew

smaller. I felt as if the world was closing in on me. On a weekend afternoon, I dropped Kristil

in a wealthy gated community for a birthday party. I drove home defeated.

Back at home, I glanced out the window. It had been snowing all morning. I noticed a

small woman struggling to open her car door against the wind. As she got out, I realized it

was my old professor, Sister Esther. I hadn’t seen her since we’d met for lunch three months

ago. I’d first met Sister Esther 10 years earlier, when I was her student at Edgewood College.

After I graduated, Sister Esther kept in touch, meeting me for lunch every few months. I had

grown to love her like family. I rushed to the front of my building. “What are you doing out in

this weather?” I asked as we hugged.

Sister Esther said she called my office and knew I wasn’t working there anymore, so she

came to see me. Upon arriving, she told me urgently, “Hearing the news that you were fired

from the work, I felt greatly worried.” While saying, she handed me a Christmas card and an

unexpected gift.
