16、tems, in 2013. All of them were made by people with disabilities or serious diseases in remote areas in China. The 75- year- old woman was formerly a medical practitioner(执业医师). Before settling down in Chengdu 10 years ago, Rachael had spent more than 40 years working in 15 different countries in As
17、ia and Africa, providing medical services and training local physicians. While living in the Tibet Autonomous Region, she found that many patients were too poor to have their illnesses treated. While many of them were skilled in making traditional crafts, they had no market for their handmade items.
18、 For these people, the most important thing is to help them integrate(融入）into society, Rachael thought. Thats not necessarily something the government can do. Its up to all of us to give them a sense of confidence and self- respect. That inspired Rachael to open a store to help these disadvantaged p
19、eople bring their crafts to the market so that they could make money and receive effective treatment. She spent nearly all of her life savings collecting items from them and making other necessary preparations. More than 700 people have benefited from Rachaels initiative(融入)，although she has to batt
20、le for years to make ends meet with the very limited market, which remains her biggest challenge. Despite financial pressures, she has continued to expand her market by encouraging her overseas friends to buy the products as home decorations or gifts. She collects feedback from customers and gives t
21、he craftsmen suggestions on how to improve their items. To help them pick up professional skills, Rachael also invites them to participate in training courses. As a world traveler, Rachael has no plans for her next destination. At the moment, she will continue to try her best to keep the shop afloat
22、 to help more people get through their hard times. “Mother Teresas words, I cannot change the world, but I can change the world of one person, have always been my motto.

26、ntegration D. removes the need for government aid to the disadvantaged C A ten- year- old sperm whale(抹香鲸) was found dead on a beach in Scotland.A necropsy(尸检) revealed that nearly 100 kilograms of plastic and other trash had formed clumps(硬块）in its digestive system.The tragedy quickly made headline
27、s. Why would a top predator in the ocean eat gloves, rope, and plastic cups? Conventional wisdom suggests that marine animals eat plastic because it is there and they dont know any better. It is true that plastic may smell like food to some of them. But that doesnt explain why only certain types of
28、whales- deep- diving toothed whales, such as sperm whales and pilot whales- turn up dead on beaches with stomachs full of plastic. Its possible, says Savoca, that plastic trash sounds like food to toothed whales. These species hunt deep in the ocean,s ometimes nearly 500 meters below the surface, wh
29、ere its pitch black(漆黑). They use echolocation(回声 定位）to hunt for food,typically squid(乌贼）。 By contrast, baleen whales(须鲸)，including humpbacks and blue whales,have natural filters(过滤器）for their food. Baleen, the brush- like filter- feeding system they have in place of teeth, as well as their narrow t
30、hroats, keeping them from swallowing anything much larger than the krill(磷虾群） that forms the basis of their diet. That could help explain why baleen whales are not ending up with plastic filled stomachs. Fifty years ago, there was almost no plastic in the ocean. The lifespan of a large whale can be
31、twice that long. In the lifetime of a single whale,we went from an ocean with no plastic to hundreds of thousands of tons of it. Plastic comes on top of other factors affecting life in the ocean- climate change, overfishing, shipping traffic,a nd noise pollution. its a real shame because their lives
32、 are challenging enough even without the additional pressure we put onto them, says Savoca. 28. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. That plastic smells like food to toothed whales. B. That marine animals started to eat plastic decades ago. C. That a number of toothed whales are found dead on

34、rk depths of the ocean. C. They are not born with brush- like filter- feeding systems. D. They dont determine the location of their food with their eyes. 30.

35、n climate change. C. Great changes have taken place in the ocean in the past 50 years. D. Plastic pollution has worsened already serious issues affecting marine life. 31. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. Different diets,different fates B. Silent killers in the ocean C.
36、 Plastic trash in- the ocean D. Saving whales D While we may think it feels good to complain, complaining has some bad effects associated with it. Why isnt complaining beneficial? Research shows that it connects our brain with negativity. The brain is designed to work efficiently. This means that wh
37、en we repeat a thought, negative or positive, the nerve cells form a bridge between each other to pass information in a higher speed. Therefore, the next time we have a similar type of thought, it is more easily passed. This explains why certain thought patterns become habits. Yet the harmful effect
38、s dont stop there. A study show that complaining causes the hippocampus(海马), which plays a vital role in problem- solving, to become smaller. In addition to causing brain damage, complaining also releases a stress hormone：cortisol(皮质醇), a kind of chemical the body produces when we meet with some dan
39、ger. Constantly having a high level of cortisol results in high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and lower immunity(免疫力) The ill effects of our complaining arent just limited to ourselves： they also involve those around us. We tend to mirror the moods of our friends. For this reason, we should be c
40、autious about having stubborn complainers in our circle of companions. The best way to deal with constant negativity is to develop a sense of gratitude. Just like complaining acts as a poison, gratitude acts as a medicine. Research shows it lowers cortisol levels by 23 percent, as well as reduces bl
41、ood pressure and blood sugar. It also decreases tiredness and depression. Gratitude is the perfect cure for complaining, a behavior that steals our brain power, happiness and physical well- being.

However, human activities such
46、as overgrazing(过度放牧) are putting this ecosystem at risk. 37 . In 2016, the Chinese government established Sanjiangyuan National Park, which was a pilot(试行) program for Chinas national park system. 38 Due to the progress made in the region, Qinghai held the first National Park Forum on Aug 19.

47、ngyuan National Park is a model of eco- protection. 39 For example, Herdsmen have given their grasslands to nature and resettled in urban area. As for wildlife, they are monitored by field conservation stations to keep the environment in good condition. The idea of a national park system is still new in China, but it must be realized.
