    Red squirrels used to be a common sight in British forests and countryside. But there are fewer than 140,000 red squirrels left now and most of them are in Scotland. However, grey squirrels (introduced from North America) are now so common that many people dislike them. They can be legally（合法的）trapped and destroyed.

    On first sight, the two types of squirrel are similar. They both have a long tail, which helps the squirrel to balance when jumping from tree to tree, and the same large eyes, small ears and powerful back legs. However, the grey squirrel has a clear physical advantage over the red. The red squirrel has a head-and-body length of 19 to 23 centimeters, a tail length of 15 to 20 centimeters and a body weight of 250 to 340 grams. Compared to this, the grey squirrel is a larger animal. The head and body measures between 23 and 30 centimeters long and the tail is between 19 and 25 centimeters long. Adult grey squirrels are heavier, weighing between 400 and 600 grams. This size allows them to store more fat and helps them to survive a hard winter, which would be fatal（致命的）to their smaller cousins .

    So why are red squirrels losing out in competition with grey squirrels? Size is one factor, but there are others. Red squirrels live high up in trees, while grey squirrels spend more of their time on the ground. This means any loss of forests greatly influences the red squirrel population. Another reason for the grey squirrel’s success is its ability to use food provided by people. Like the fox, the grey squirrel can survive in towns and cities. The other problem for the red squirrel is disease. Both squirrels carry a certain virus. While this doesn’t seem to attack grey squirrels, it is fatal to red squirrels.

    1.Which are introduced from North America, red squirrels or grey squirrels?

    2.What helps the squirrel to balance when jumping from tree to tree?

    3.How much do adult grey squirrels weigh at most?

    4.Who are the “smaller cousins” mentioned in the second paragraph?

    5.There are four reasons why red squirrels are losing out in competition with grey squirrels.

    Please list TWO of them.（每条不得超过4个单词）

    句子还原，阅读短文，根据短文内容，从所给选项中选出五个句子完成短文，并在答题卡上将选项涂黑。

    Body language is one of the most powerful means of communication. 1. people around the world show all kinds of feelings, wishes and attitudes that they might never speak aloud.

    The most universal facial expression is the smile. People usually smile to show happiness and make people feel comfortable.But sometimes it doesn’t always mean that we are truly happy, however, smile around the world can be false, hiding other feelings like anger, fear or worry. 2._ However, the general purpose of smiling is to show good feelings.

    From the time we are babies, we show unhappiness or anger by frowning. 3. Making a fist and shaking it almost means that someone is angry and threatening another person.

    There are many ways around the world to show agreement ,but nodding the head up and down is used for agreement almost worldwide. 4.

    How about showing that I am bored? Looking away from people will make me appear to be uninterested. However, if I turn toward and look at someone or something, people from almost every culture will think that I am interested. If I roll my eyes and turn my head away, I most likely do not believe what I’m hearing or don’t like it.

    Be respectful to people is subjective, based on each culture. but in general it is probably not a good idea to give a hug to a boss or teacher. 5. with so many cultural differences between people .it is great to have some similarities in body language. We can often be wrong about each other. So it is an amazing thing that we understand each other as well as we do.

    A.Most people also understand that shaking the head from side to side means disagreement or refusal.

    B.There are unhappy smiles, such as when someone “loses face” and smiles to hide it.

    C.It is often even more powerful than spoken language.

    D.People around the world show how their feelings in quite different ways.

    E.Standing at a little distance with open hands will show that I am willing to listen.

    F.In most places around the world, frowning and turning one’s back to someone shows anger.

    Eric Liddell was known as the flying Scotsman（苏格兰人）because he ran so fast. But he is most remembered as a man of honor and bravery.

    He was born in 1902 in Tianjin, north China. In Chinese, he was known as Li Airui. Eric lived in China until the age of five. After that his parents sent him to school in England. In 1920, Eric went to the University of Edinburgh to study science.

    Sports played a large part in his life and he became the fastest runner in Scotland. He was chosen to be part of Britain’s 1924 Olympic team. The games were in Paris. The 100-meter race was his best event, but it was to be held on a Sunday. Eric, a strong Christian（基督徒），refused to run on Sundays because he believed that it should be a day of rest as the Bible（圣经）teaches.

    Although many people told him to run the race, he refused. Instead he started to train for other distances. At the Olympics he won a bronze medal in the 200-meter race and then a gold medal in the 400-meter race, setting a world record.

    Though then famous in Scotland, Eric still loved and remembered China. He wanted to go back to the country where he was born. In 1925, he went to China and worked as a middle school teacher in Tianjin. Then he went to Hebei Province to help the poor people there.

    After the Japanese invaded（入侵）China, Eric chose to stay. He wanted to help the sick and give hope to the Chinese people. In 1943, the Japanese sent him to a prison camp（集中营）in Weifang. Even in the camp, he continued to help the old people. He also arranged games for the children, and taught them science.

    In 1945, Eric was very ill. He was given a chance to leave the camp but he refused. Instead he gave this chance to a pregnant woman. This inspiring man died six months before the end of the war. Many people still remember his service to the Chinese people of that area.
