World Elephant Day is the perfect time to find out more about these amazing animals and what we can do to preserve them so they do not go the way of the mammoth（猛犸象）.
World Elephant Day was created in 2011 by two Canadian filmmakers Patricia Sims and Thailand’s Elephant Reintroduction Foundation and was first celebrated on August 12, 2012. They made the documentary Return to the Forest, a fascinating 30 minute film about the reintroduction of caught Asian elephants to the wild.
Currently, the demand for ivory（象牙）is becoming bigger and bigger, whose price is higher than that of gold, making elephants bigger targets than ever. Habitation loss is also a danger to the world’s elephant population as it robs elephants of the hundreds of pounds of food they need every day, making
it more difficult for them to breed and making it easier for hunters to track them down. Circuses and tourism are also serious threats to the animals’ well-being.
The best way to celebrate this day is to take the opportunity to educate yourself about these magnificent（巨大的）mammals and share your knowledge with others. As ever, simply spreading the word about the dangers these magnificent mammals face via social media can actually make a real change. Expose that “training” elephants often involves tying and beating them daily for months on end. If you want to get a bit more involved, you could choose to make a donation to a foundation dedicated to protecting elephants from hunters or relocating them to locations better suited to their needs.
Whichever way suits you best, make sure that you spend this day in a way that helps elephants all over the world, so we, in turn, can continue to wonder at them and their uniquely fascinating way of life. 12. What is the main purpose of World Elephant Day?
A. To collect donations for elephants. B. To do researchers on elephants’ life. C. To protect the elephants from extinction. D. To make films about all kinds of elephants.
13. Which of the following is the biggest threat to elephants?
A. Human being. B. Severe climate. C. Natural environment. D. Limited food resource.
14. What does the author advise doing to celebrate World Elephant Day?
A. Watching the elephant shows.
B. Making your own films about elephants. C. Appealing to focus on elephant protection. D. Traveling to Thailand to ride trained elephants.
15. According to the text, what is the best way to protect elephants?
A. Supplying enough food for elephants.
B. Catching and raising elephants in the cages. C. Replacing elephants in suitable wild habitations. D. Attracting elephants to live together with human beings. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

If you think about school, is there one teacher who stands out above all others? One person who is your favorite and who really inspires you? Why? 16 I’ve decided that I want to become a teacher because teaching is so rewarding and it provides so many opportunities. I get to inspire future generations – what could be better?
I’m currently helping out in two schools – a primary and a secondary school – and I’m actually really enjoying it. Some says are challenging and I ask myself why I am doing it, but then one of my students will answer a question or be interested in my lesson and suddenly everything becomes worthwhile. 17
I plan my own lessons and make them as fun as serious as I like. 18 That is why my lessons are never boring. Sometimes my classes don’t go according to the plan, so I switch the way I teach and do something that I know my students will enjoy.
19 I teach biology, geography, history, technology, social sciences and music … all is English! I get to study English literature, which is my passion, and pass on my knowledge and enthusiasm to my students, and I get to teach a huge variety of classes and age groups.
20 As a result, I have to try and cater for everybody by including a variety of tasks and exercises as well as interesting multimedia, like videos and games.
The best classes are when I give the students a topic to discuss – usually one which they feel very passionate about – and let them have their say. A. Teaching is so exciting.
B. I create lesson plans to suit each of the ages.
C. I realize I am great to help someone to learn. D. I’ve found that each student learns differently. E. I’ve been thinking these questions over recently. F. I’m excited to get started on my teacher training. G. I also love the fact that I teach English in everything. 第二部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）
