Lemurs are cute animals that live on the island of Madagascar, the fourth-largest island in the world. Lemurs have big eyes, long noses, and long tails(except for the Indri) and live high in the trees of Madagascan forests. Lemurs are quite intelligent. They are the cousins of monkeys and look quite similar. They also swing through the trees and live in family groups. There are different species of lemurs. Some lemurs (the Indri) sing like a whale, and some (the Sifaka) walk like a ballet dancer. Some lemurs are very small, like the Pygmy Mouse Lemur which weighs only 25-30 grams. Others, like the Indri, can weigh up to ten kilograms. Some lemurs are nocturnal, being awake at night and sleeping during the day, and some are not nocturnal but diurnal. Generally, the smaller lemurs are nocturnal, while the bigger ones are diurnal. All the species are unique to Madagascar. However, all of the lemurs are endangered species. Many species have already disappeared in the last few centuries. There are not many of lemurs left. People in Madagascar have been destroying the forests where lemurs live. Local people also hunt lemurs for food. Some of the local people see lemurs as bringers of bad luck, so they kill lemurs. At the moment, there are about 85 lemur species left.

1.Part of northern California had become an inferno(火海) in the latest big fire. A nearby town, Paradise, was reduced to ash. Nearly 50 people are confirmed dead and over 200 missing. Six of the ten most destructive fires in California's history have occurred in the past decade. Last year was the most destructive year on record, until this year. Why is the Golden State so flammable? 2.There are three reasons why California has been surrounded by flames. First, the climate is becoming warmer. This has led to snow melting earlier, drier landscapes and a longer season when fires are likely to occur. 3.A second reason is that more people live in flammable places. Since the 1990s 60% of new homes in California, Washington and Oregon have been built in spaces next to nature. These areas, which environmentalists call the "wildland-urban interface", are at higher risk of wildfire. 4.A third reason is that there is more fuel. Before western settlers arrived, fires used to happen often and naturally, which made less fuel available for future fires. For the past century fires have been controlled well. This has led to a build-up of dry brush, and makes the average wildfire much likelier to turn into a big one. 5.Putting out the flame is the most immediate task for California, but not the last. Many survivors will want to rebuild their homes exactly where they were. Californians will also want to ensure that utility companies(公用事业公司) are acting and investing responsibly. Investigations into what caused the fire are still going on, but some reports suggest it may have begun with sparks (火花) from lines owned by an electricity company. 1.What may directly cause the big fire in California? A. The warm climate. B. Living too close to nature. C. Too much fuel. D. Sparks from electric wire 2.What does the underlined sentences in Paragraph 1 suggest? A. The fires in California are all very destructive. B. The latest big fire in California is very destructive. C. California suffered from destructive fires most last year. D. There have been six destructive fires in California in the past 10 years. 3.What does the text mainly talk about? A. The reasons why California suffered a destructive fire recently. B. The reasons why California suffered destructive fires frequently. C. The facts that California is a place easily suffered destructive fires. D. The opinions that California is a place easily suffered destructive fires. 4.What is the structure of the text? A. 1//2-3// 4-5 B. 1-2// 3-5 C. 1//2-4// 5 D. 1// 2-5

Michael Jackson was on the road of performing when he was five years old.As is known to all, the road to fame and fortune is a long, hard one. Michael remembers those early years when he was young.“My father was a machine operator,” he explained, “and he worked at a steel plant. My mother worked at Sears, a big department store. But they were both musicians.” Michael's father Joe Jackson realized his sons had a lot of talent, and he knew he could train them to become fine musicians. In those days there were plenty of music groups and some of them were very good. He knew if his sons were to stand out, they would have to be the best. Practice makes perfect. And the Jackson boys practised! Gradually the group took shape. Then word of this group began to get around. Thus Michael got a chance to do some solo(独唱) songs. In the following years, Michael was always on the top. One million records of his were sold in New Zealand, which has only a total population of three million! When Michael was eighteen, he entered another field of his career(生涯)—acting. “I plan to star in movies,” he told his friends, “but of course, my first love is music.” Michael wrote a lot of his own songs. “Songs came about in the strangest ways,” he said, “I’ll just wake up from sleeping and there is a whole song coming into my head. And then I put it down on the paper.” Still, with all his success, Michael managed to keep his head calm. “I just do a different job from other people,” he said, “but it doesn't make me think I'm better than other people.” To be quite honest, his fans just love to hear and watch him! 1.What can we know from the text?

How can teenagers keep themselves from suffering from loneliness? Here are some suggestions for speeding a recovery from loneliness. 1. A smile and a friendly greeting for the student behind you in line at the cafeteria(餐厅) won't make you best friends. But it will make you both feel good. It also can make it easier to interact the next time, and the time after that. Find a safe place to make connections. If going to the dancing party makes you feel like you just don't belong, try joining a special-interest group. 2. Just because you feel left out in one group doesn't mean you'll feel like an outsider in every other one. Look for a group that allows you to feel comfortable gradually. Find other ways of making connections. Lonely people hunger for friendship. Sometimes feeling accepted and liked comes more easily when you do something for others rather than waiting for them to make you feel better. 3. Help a child in rending. Take notes for a disabled classmate. You might be surprised at the connections you make. 4. Loneliness is an absence of quality friendship, not of a particular quantity of friends. That's why it's important to know how to select a friend. You get what you expect, so expect the best. If you expect others to be friendly, you will behave in proper ways that encourage people to be friendlier to you. 5. But starting the first step of positive expectations can make all the difference. A. Choose the right people. B. Loneliness won’t last long. C. So consider becoming a volunteer. D. Reach out to others but start small. E. It can be hard work to be positive toward others. F. Maybe it's the drama club or the marching band. G. This harmful attitude can continue into adulthood.
