Before she could even talk, Ellie Heath spent hours drawing pictures. When

she

grew

older,

the

15-year-old

discovered

the

joy

of

sewing

(

缝

).

She

says

she

finds

it

calming.

She

started

out

making

small

things,

like

jewelry and soft toys. Over time, she began making clothing. Her

love of the creative work led her to open a business. Three Blue Bunnies is

the name of her company, which makes what she calls

“

wearable art.

”

she explains. She sells

her creations in farmers markets and at sales for local churches.

All the pieces Ellie creates are made of used or donated fabrics. She

works

a

lot

with

jean

jackets,

renewing

them

with

artistic additions.

The

process starts with finding cloth material that

looks good with the jackets.

“

Then, I find out the design that works on

it through trial and

error (

反复尝试

) or the design comes to me,

”

she explains.

Ellie

sharpened

her

creative

skills

at

school.

Cheryl

Crow

one

of

her teachers early

on.

Crow

calls

Ellie

“

a

dream

student.

”

She

says

Ellie

worked

hard

and

made progress.

“

She was always very creative, but also very kind, helpful

to the other students.

”

Ellie has many dreams. She wants to be a teacher and to spread the joy

of

creativity

among

children.

She

also

dreams

her

business

will

grow

and

become a model for other young people who

have

a

dream

they

want

to

come

true.

The difficult situation of the koala

—

a national symbol of Australia

—

has raised

questions

among

environmentalists

and

scientists

about

what

it

will

take

to

protect biodiversity (

生物多

样

性

) in a country with intense fire, extreme

heat and lack of water. Australia has already been among the highest rates

of species extinction in the world.

The

bad

situation

goes

beyond

koalas.

Recently,

tens

of

thousands

of

bats fell from the sky in temperatures over 107 degrees Fahrenheit in northern

Australia. Kangaroos destroyed the grapes in Canberra because of drought.

“

Climate

change

and

other

human

impacts

have

so

changed

the

situation

that the

government

needs

to

rethink

its

way

to

protect

at

once,

”

Dr.

Bowman

said,

suggesting interventions (

干

预

) like

irrigating, feeding

and

moving animals

to new places.

Koalas,

unlike

kangaroos,

birds

or

snakes,

do

not

escape

from

fires.

Therefore,

though

the

fires

are

still

burning,

a

rescue

team

began

to

search the area carefully. Walking in a human chain, they looked up to the

tree top, searching for survivors.

28.

What do the victims in the first paragraph refer

to?

A.

Animals injured in

fires.

B.

Kangaroos driven by

drought.

C.

Bats that fell from the

sky.

D.

Koalas rescued from the fire.

29.

Which of the following may cause the extinction of

wildlife?

A.

Wildfires that seldom

happened.

B.

Extreme hot weather in Australia.

C.

The never-changing climate in Australia.

D.

Not having enough money to take measures in

Australia.

30.

What can we draw from Dr. Bowman?

A.

Human activities have little influence on animals.

B.

The government should take immediate action.

C.

The government does not care about the wild animals.

D.

Scientists are concerned about the bad situation of wildlife.

commonly used language in the

world.

Most

are

non-native

speakers

with

English

as

their

second

language,

while it serves as a third or fourth language for hundreds of millions more.

So

which place has the most fluent non-native English speakers?

According

to

a

new

report

by

international

education

company,

the

Netherlands

is the

best

non- native

English

speakers

across

the

globe.

The

results of its English Proficiency Index

(

英语

能

力

指

数

< br>), based on a free

online

test

taken

by

2.3

million

volunteers,

show

that

the

Dutch

are

the

most fluent. Sweden was positioned just below, with a score of 68.74 out of

100, while Norway came in third with 67.93 points.

Although the places with

“

very high proficiency

”

were largely made up of

European countries, Singapore and South Africa also scored highly, coming in

fifth and sixth place respectively.

The report

also found that

English

was

the

most widely

studied

second

language in the world by far. This may be the reason why just 20% of school

students in the United States were studying a foreign

language.

The

survey

was

measured

by

testing

non-native

English

speakers

in

100

countries and

People

in

the

survey

if

they

can

surf

the

internet

more

easily. And this may greatly influence the accuracy (

) of the results.

Which

of

the

following

country

has

the

most

fluent

non-native

English

speakers?

A. America.

Netherlands.

Americans do not need to learn a second language.

B.

Americans dislike languages other than English.

C.

More and more people are taking English as a second language.
