Doris Carvalho，a
woman
from
Tampa，America has come up with an original way of combining her two greatest passions—veterinary science(兽医学) and fashion.She recycles dog hair and changes it into high－end designer handbags.
Doris loves her new job so much that she hopes to change it into a business—she's currently running a Kickstarter campaign to raise $15，000 toward that purpose.That's just enough money to make her first line of 30 handbags and pay for marketing.
“These handbags prove that high－end can be made eco－friendly from your pet for you，” she pointed out.“I turn dog hair that would be rubbish anywhere else in the world into these handbags.I use it to make the thread.It's reused and recycled.”
It takes Doris about 50 hours to complete each one handbag without any machines.She needs about two pounds of fur per handbag and she insists that the completed handbag is as soft as any other fur.It is priced at $1，000，but she says that the price would go down if the products were to ever go into mass production.“I hope in the future I can make it cheaper and sell much cheaper for everyone，” she said.
We aren't sure how well these handbags are selling，but according to Jaime Calderbank，owner of One Lucky Dog in St.Petersburg，it all depends on how much people are willing to display their love for their dogs.“I think a few of them that really love their dogs would like something like that，” she said.
Doris has managed to raise just $350 ever since she started the campaign，but she has 50 days to reach her $15，000 goal.“I hope people who like the campaign can help，” she said.“Any contribution is welcome.”

体裁：记叙文 话题：人与自然 词数：320 时间：7′
All trade in five named species of sharks is to be regulated (管制) from now on.Without a permit，the sale of their meat or fins(鳍) will be forbidden.
The regulation was agreed last year at a meeting of the Convention
on International
Trade
in Endangered Species in Thailand.According to the rules，the whitetip (白鳍鲨)，the porbeagle (鼠鲨)，and three varieties of hammerhead will be protected.Besides，manta rays (比目鱼)，valued for their gills (鳃)which are used in Chinese medicine，will also be protected.
The action is seen as the most important one in the 40－year history to protect these species.
“Regulating international trade in these shark and manta ray species has a great effect on their survival and is a very clear way of helping to protect sharks and our oceans，” said Secretary General John Scanlon.“The practical steps will involve issues such as limiting export levels，
and identifying the fins，gills and meat that are in trade.This may seem challenging，but by working together we can do it and we will do it.”
Under the rules，all trade in these sharks and rays across 180 countries will not be allowed unless they have got their permits given by the national related organization.
As a matter of fact，trade in shark fins has already decreased greatly as a result of campaigns to raise awareness.Recently it has been reported that sales have gone down by 70%.Earlier this year the hotel giant，Hilton Worldwide stopped serving shark fins at its 96 owned and managed Asia－Pacific hotels.
However，Denmark，Canada，Guyana，Japan，Iceland and Yemen have all announced they will not follow the new rules and will continue to fish for some or all of these species.Under the regulations though，they are only able to trade with other countries that are also ready to ignore the rules.
Officials point out that for such a questioned issue，the number of countries which is going to continue the trade is small.

A．The manta ray.

C．The whitetip.
D．The hammerhead.

Ⅱ.根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
A fear of heights is a common feeling that is easy
to
understand.According
to
many psychologists，a fear of heights is one of only two natural fears.__8__If you are on the edge of a cliff，it is useful to be a little afraid.If you are not afraid，you could walk too close to the edge (边缘) and fall off.Having a fear of heights is good because it protects us from real danger.
__9__They experience strong fears even inside a safe environment such as a tall building，which is not a common response and it is not helpful.John Adams，an English teacher，has a strong fear of heights that makes his life very difficult.“As long as I can remember，I have had a powerful fear of heights.__10__For example，when I was with friends in Paris，I became terrified while going up the Eiffel Tower.I was almost crying and I felt embarrassed for the rest of the vacation，Adams said.
Fortunately，having an unreasonable fear of heights can be corrected.__11__The most effective way seems to be getting the person to acknowledge (承认) their fear，for example，by encouraging them to go to the top of tall buildings，hike up tall mountains，or stand on a high bridge.
__12__When people face a threatening situation，taking slow，deep breaths can help slow the heart rate and increase the oxygen flow to muscles to keep from tensing(紧张) up.If possible，a few minutes of meditation(沉思) may be effective in reducing some tension.
It is important to remember that a fear of heights is not unusual and can be treated.
A．Another way to overcome a fear of heights is to learn to control the physical symptoms.
B．However，some people have an unreasonable and unhealthy fear of heights.
C．One way to defeat your fear of heights is to do an activity that involves nothing but heights.
D．There are a number of ways that can be achieved.
E．It can completely ruin a vacation.
F．The other is a fear of loud noises.
G．Nearly everyone experiences some degree of panic when facing heights.
答案
8．F [根据上文“...a fear of heights is one of only two natural fears.”可知，恐高是两种天然的恐惧之一，另一种是对大的噪音的恐惧。]
9．B [根据下文“They experience strong fears even inside a safe environment such as a tall building...”可知，然而有些人会对高度产生过度的恐慌，他们甚至在比如较高的建筑物里也会感到强烈的恐惧。]
10．E [...when I was with friends in Paris，I became terrified while going up the Eiffel Tower.I was almost crying and I felt embarrassed for the rest of the vacation...”可知，John Adams因为恐高而使得自己在巴黎的假期过得很糟糕。]
11．D [根据上下文“...having an unreasonable fear of heights can be corrected...The most effective way seems to be getting the person to acknowledge their fear”可知，过度地恐高是可以被改正过来的，有许多方法可以做到这一点。最有效的方法就是让人承认他们的恐惧。]
12．A [根据下文“...taking slow，deep breaths can help slow the heart rate and increase the oxygen flow to muscles to keep from tensing up.”可知，另外一种方法就是控制体征，比如慢慢地深呼吸来降低心率，让更多的氧气流向肌肉来避免紧张。]
Ⅲ.阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
A boy trembled in the cold winter，__13__ (wrap) his arms around himself on a bus
stop bench.He __14__ (wear) warm clothes and the temperature was －10℃.A heartbreaking scene! But the good deeds of the ordinary people who witnessed __15__11－year－old Johannes were both joyous __16__ inspiring.A woman，sitting next to the boy，discovered he was __17__ a school trip and was told to meet his teacher at the bus stop.She __18__ (self) covered her own coat around his shoulders.Later，__19__ woman at first gave him her scarf，and then wrapped him in her large jacket.Throughout the day，more and more people offered Johannes their gloves and even the coats off their backs.__20__ (actual)，it was a hidden camera experiment by Norwegian charity SOS Children's Village as part of their winter campaign to collect __21__ (donate) to help Syrian children get through the winter.Synne Ronning，the information head of the organization，also noted that the child was a volunteer who was never in any __22__ (dangerous)
during the filming.
【语篇解读】 这是一篇记叙文阅读。文章主要讲述了一个11岁男孩在汽车站得到好心人的帮助，通过这件事挪威SOS儿童村发起救助贫穷的孩子温暖过冬的活动。
13．wrapping [考查非谓语动词用法。根据句子的主语a boy是wrap的动作执行者，应填现在分词，故填wrapping。]

【思路导航】
本文是限内容、给提纲的控制性作文，由于是写当下的社会现象，所以时态要以一般现在时为主。内容要符合英语习惯。比如：“私家车增加”要用英语表达为“越来越多的人拥有私家车”。主谓宾状各个成分要完整；“事故频发”使用happen或take place，且只能用主动语态不能用被动语态；“采取措施”用英语表达为“take steps(measures/action)”。
【参考范文】
With the rapid development of China's economy，more and more people own their private cars.Some drivers don't always obey the traffic rules，so traffic accidents are often happening.A recent survey shows in 2017 there are 26 million traffic illegal acts，an average of over 70 thousand a day.
Behind the numbers，we can see the seriousness of our country's road safety.The main reason for traffic accidents is drunk driving.Besides，running the red light and speeding also result in this situation.
In my point of view，we must take immediate action to reduce the traffic accidents.For example，drivers should be punished without mercy.At the same time，the government should call on people to obey the traffic rules.Only when we cut down the traffic accidents can we live a happier life.
