B
My childhood was a painted picture of sunny sky and rolling green fields stretching to the horizon. It tasted of
sharp berries and smelt of sour grapes.My family lived in a cabin （小木屋） in the countryside but I lived in my
mother's arms. They were so delicate but strong, her red hair falling around me like a curtain separating me from the
world.
Childhood was simple.The borders of my village were the furthest my troubles went and monsters only lived in
the pages of books. Every day was a waking dream of running races and muddy knees.My village was archaic, dying
cabins housing dying farmers with dying traditions. There weren't many children but me and the other boys; boys of
butchers and sellers formed our own group.
They called us wild. I suppose we were. Trees and mountains formed our playgrounds and fights broke out as
easily as sudden laughter. Liberated from the restrictions of society, we would bound into the woods,deeper and
deeper until we found a lake which, with a wild yell, we would jump into all at once.
My most vivid memories from boyhood center around that lake. Water shone brightly and the sounds of our
screams broke into the outcry from birds. The shock of cold water against sweating skin would wake every nerve in
my body and my bare feet would hit the sinking muddy bottom. As we submerged （淹没）， time would suspend，
movements slowing as bubbles rose around us.
I was drowning. I was living. I was living. I was drowning.
For timelessness or a second (both felt the same), we would suspend, curl up, and then be forced back out into
breathing air.
We should have known that it wouldn't last forever. Yet, even under the best circumstances, there's something so
tragic about growing up: to have your perspective on the people and life around you change;to always struggle to
reach a mirror only to find yourself tall enough to see your reflection one day. And find, a different person staring
back out at you.
24.What does the underlined word “archaic” mean in paragraph 2?
A. Borderless.
B. Valueless.
C.Old-fashioned.
D.Poverty-stricken.
25.Why did the author consider himself and other children wild?
A.They played in the woods crazily.
C.They frequently broke social rules.
B.They tricked others purposefully.
D.They firmly refused school education.
26.How does the author introduce his memories of the lake?
A.By sharing feelings.
C.By making comparisons.
B.By expressing ideas.
D.By describing characters.
27.What message does the author seem to convey in the last paragraph?
A.Loneliness and challenges make a man grow up.
B.The regret of growth is that you have never tried.
C.Growth is often accompanied by sad goodbyes to the past.
D.Growth begins when we begin to accept our own weakness.
C
In shallow coastal waters of the Indian ocean, Dugong, a kind of sea cow, is in trouble. Environmental problems
pose such a major threat to its survival that the International Union for Conservation of Nature （IUCN） upgraded
the species＇extinction risk status（地位）to vulnerable （脆弱的）.
Much worse,Dugongs are at risk of losing the protection of the Torres Strait Islanders, who have looked after
them historically, hunting them for food sustainably and monitoring their numbers. These native people keep their
biodiversity, and have deep knowledge about their environment. But these people are also threatened, in part because
rising sea levels are making it difficult for them to live there.
This situation isn't unique to Dugongs. A global analysis of 385 culturally important plant and animal species
found 68 percent were both biologically vulnerable and at risk of losing their cultural protection.
The findings clearly illustrate that biology shouldn't be the primary factor in shaping conservation policy,says
anthropologist Victoria Reyes-García.When a culture declines,the species that are important to that culture are also
threatened.“Lots of conservationists think we need to separate people from nature,”says Reyes-García. “But that
strategy misses the caring relationship many cultural groups have with nature.”
One way to help shift conservation efforts is to give species a “bio-cultural status,”which would provide a fuller
picture of their vulnerability. In the study, the team used a new way to determine a species' risk of disappearing: the
more a cultural group's language use declines,the more that culture is threatened.The more a culture is threatened, the
more culturally vulnerable its important species are. Researchers then combined a species' cultural and biological
vulnerability to arrive at its bio-cultural status. In the Dugong's case, its bio-cultural status is endangered, meaning it is
more at risk than its IUCN categorization suggests.
This new approach to conservation involves people that have historically cared for them. It can highlight when
communities need support to continue their care. Scientists hope it will bring more efforts that recognize local
communities' rights and encourage their participation-taking advantage of humans' connection with nature instead of
