2．Huron，Ohio，was where I'd spent my twenties，working on a steamer out on the Great Lakes.My wife and I started our family there，and later we came back to Huron to retire.Then，during the final stage of construction on our new home，I had difficulty breathing.The doctor determined I needed open-heart surgery.I was admitted to a hospital in Sandusky.
The night before my surgery，I was so worried that I couldn't sleep.I lay in my hospital bed praying and thinking about the events in my life that had led me to this point.I remembered how I had fallen in love with Huron and its people.I remembered a Christmas many years ago…
The shipping season had been good to me，so that winter I decided to buy some Christmas gifts and help out a family in town."I know a family that would appreciate a visit from Santa Claus， " the owner of the store said."A woman with six children just lost her husband.
The store owner helped me wrap some presents and gave me the family's address.That evening I delivered the packages.A little girl with brown eyes and the sweetest smile answered the door." Santa asked me to bring these gifts to you and your family，" I said.
The girl's eyes lit up even more."Tell Santa thank you from Dorothy，" she said.I never saw her or her family again，but all in town helped give Huron a permanent place in my heart.A heart now needed fixing badly.
A nurse came in to check on me."Where are you from？" the nurse asked."I'm from Huron，I told her proudly.
She smiled."I grew up there，" she said."I loved it，even though life wasn't easy.You see，I lost my father when I was just a child."
I looked into her brown eyes and knew I'd seen them before， " Do you recall a sailor bringing presents to your door one Christmas
She stared."That was you!"
"Yes，Dorothy，" I said，suddenly confident about my surgery."That was me."

3．The rhino census（犀牛普查）is out，bearing good news for the greater one-homed rhinos!In September，2022，the International Rhino Foundation （IRF） documented in a report that there is a baby boom in this population，representing an increase of 167 percent.
According to the report，there are a total of 4，014 greater one-horned rhinos living in India，Nepal，and Bhutan.Although this is positive news，their IUCN （International Union for Conservation of Nature） status still remains vulnerable.
In India alone，the home to 70 percent of the world's greater one-homed rhinos，there was an increase of 274 rhinos since the last biannual census，according to the organization Rhino Review.
An important reason for this baby boom is the fact that Assam，India，has enlarged Kaziringo National Park，home to the world's largest one-homed rhino population.The park went from 430 square kilometers to 1，040 square kilometers.This gives more breeding areas for the rhinos，and they are closed to visitors during breeding season.
India and Nepal are also protecting the rhinos by enforcing wildlife crime laws.To reduce rhino death by poaching （偷猎），the IRF donates vehicles and equipment，plus education including guard training and crime investigation.
The IRF data for other rhino species is not as promising，although the greater one-homed rhino numbers are encouraging for future conservation.According to the report，there is a decline in Sumatran rhinos，Africa's white rhinos，while the Javan rhino population is stable and threatened by loss of habitat.
The State of the Rhino report offers hope for these other species.Given that the greater one -- homed rhinos were once close to extinction，with fewer than 100 living in the world，their recovery is incredible.This demonstrates that there are solutions when organizations and people work together.Let us hope that this successful rhino baby boom will affect other endangered wildlife species around the globe.
（1）What contributes to the baby boom of one-homed rhinos in Assam，India？
A．Extending the protected areas for rhinos.
B．Raising fund to set up more reserves for rhinos.
C．Leaving the one-homed rhinos alone in the wild.
D．Keeping visitors away from the Kaziringo National Park.
（2）How does IRF help protect the one-homed rhinos？
A．By cooperating with other organizations.
B．By enhancing anti-poaching efforts.
C．By transferring the rhinos to other habitats.
D．By guarding the rhinos with new equipment.
（3）What can we learn from the rhino report？
A．Rhinos are no longer a vulnerable species.
B．Rhinos will affect other wildlife in the world.
C．Everyone can play a role in protecting nature.
D．It is possible to protect other endangered species.
（4）What is the purpose of this text？
A．To inform good news on the greater one-homed rhinos.
B．To show the measures taken to protect the one-homed rhinos.
C．To introduce an endangered species-the greater one-homed rhinos.
D．To indicate the decline of other species of rhino population.组卷：8引用：5难度：0.5

9．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I must admit，I haven't always liked animals.In fact，I distrusted them greatly while growing up，and I still fear the ones I don't know personally.What set my beliefs in stone was being attacked-not once but many times，including the summer after second grade when I was bitten by a rabbit.Then，when I was nine and riding my dirt bike down the road，a large dog charged me and tried to bite my ankle.After all those negative experiences，there was one thing I knew for sure ：All creatures，great and small，were no friends of mine.
After college in California，I returned to live the single life in Las Vega.Then I met Lisa.In no time at all，we fell in love，married and moved into a new house.Despite my avoidance of animals，Lisa had a dog called Bailey.Bailey didn't like me，but he tolerated my existence once he realized I wasn't going anywhere.
Things changed as spring came.We welcomed a new member o£ our family ：our son Evan.One evening Evan grabbed hold of the dog's tail.The irritated dog paused and turned to look at his stuck tail but waited patiently until being released.Still the stories I'd heard of animals attacking babies worries me.
Then my worst fear occurred.I sat on the couch （沙发）reading after a long day while my wife worked at the dining-room table paying the bills.I saw Evan crawl across the family-room carpet as he made his way behind the couch.One minute，all was quiet and then Bailey entered the room and headed to where Evan had crawled.I nearly jumped out of my skin when I heard the dog start a fearful barking behind me.
注意：
（1）续写词数应为150左右；
（2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Throwing the book away，I rushed around the couch with great fear.

Having witnessed our dog killing a scorpion （蝎子） and saving my son，I was speechless.
