That was, to be a steamboat man. We had temporary ambitions of other sorts, but they were only temporary.My father was a justice of the peace, and I supposed he possessed the power of life and death over all men and could hang anybody that offended him. This was distinction enough for me as a general thing;butthe desire to be a steamboat man kept intruding, nevertheless. One of our boys in town, who went away and was not heard of for-a long time, turned up as apprentice engineer on a steamboat. This thing shook the bottom out of all my Sunday—school teachings. That boy was notoriously worldly, and I was just the opposite. There was nothing generous about this fellow in his greatness. He would always manage to have a rusty nail to scrub while his boat stopped at our town, and he would sit on the inside guard and scrub it, where we could all see him. And wherever his boat was laid up he would come home and show off in the town in his blackest and greasiest clothes, so that nobody could help remembering that he was a steamboat man; and he used all sorts of steamboat technical terms in his talk, as if he were so used to them that he forgot common people could not understand them.This creature's career could produce but one result, and it was speedily followed. Boy after boy managed to get on the river. Despite many choices, pilot was the grandest position of all. The pilot, even in those days of trivialwages, had a princely salary—from 150—250 dollars a month, and no board payment.But our parents would not let us and our worry was the next year would find us hunting for jobs with low pay again. So by and by I ran away. I said I never would come home again till I was a pilot and could come in glory.4. Why does the writer mention his father's job in Paragraph 2?A. To show that his father was in power.B. To show that his father is cruel.C. To emphasize the job he prefers.D. To emphasize his love for his father.5. Which of the following can best conclude the writer's attitude toward the boy?A. He thought the boy was material but pitiful.B. He thought the boy was annoying but still envied him.C. He thought the boy was shallow but knowledgeable.D. He thought the boy was disrespectful but still liked him.6. Which of the following statements is Not True?A. The boy talked in a way to make others feel jealous.B. The boy's experience made other boys follow suit.C. The pilot's salary was ly high but without meals covered.D. The writer was ambitious to make his childhood dream come true.7. What rhetorical method does the underlined sentence have?A. Simile.B. Personification.C. Parallelism.D. Irony.CI don’t want to talk about being a woman scientistagain. There was a time in my life when people asked constantly for stories about what it’s like to work in a field dominated (controlled) by men. I was never very good at telling those stories because truthfully I never found them interesting. What I do find interesting is the origin of the universe, the shape of space, time and the nature of black holes.At 19, when I began studying astrophysics (天体物理学), it did not bother me in the least to be the only woman in the classroom. But while earning my Ph.D. at MIT and then as a post-doctor doing space research, the issue started to bother me. My every achievement — jobs, research papers, awards — was viewed through the lens (镜片) of gender (性别) politics. So were my failures. Sometimes, when I was pushed into an argument on left brain versus (相对于) right brain, or nature versus nurture (培育), I would instantly fight fiercely on my behalf and all womankind.Then one day a few years ago, out of my mouth came a sentence that would eventually become my reply toany and all provocations (挑衅): I don’t talk about that anymore. It took me 10 years to get back the confidence I had at 19 and to realize that I didn’t want to deal with gender issues. Why should curing sexism be yet another terrible burden on every female scientist? After all, I don’t study sociology or political theory.Today I research and teach at Barnard, a women’s college in New York City. Recently, someone asked me how many of the 45 students in my class were women. You cannot imagine my satisfaction at being able to answer, 45.I know some of my students worry how they will manage their scientific research and a desire for children. And I don’t dismiss those concerns. Still, I don’t tell them “war” stories. Instead, I have given them this: the visual of their physics professor heavily pregnant doing physics experiments. And in turn they have given me the image of 45 women driven by a love of science. And that’s a sight worth talking about.8. Why doesn’t the author want to talk about being a woman scientist again?A. She is fed up with the issue of gender discrimination (歧视).B. She feels unhappy working in male-dominated fields.C. She is not good at telling stories of the kind.D. She finds space research more important.9. From Paragraph 2, we can infer that people would attribute (把……归因于) the author’s failures to ________.A. the burden she bears in a male-dominated societyB. her involvement in gender politicsC. her over-confidence as a female astrophysicistD. the very fact that she is a woman10. What did the author constantly fight against while doing her Ph.D. and post-doctoral research?A. Lack of confidence in succeeding in space science.B. Unfair accusations from both inside and outside her circle.C. People’s fixed attitude toward female scientists.D. Widespread misconceptions about nature and nurtured.11. What does the image the author presents to her students suggest?A. Women students needn’t have the concerns of her generation.B. Women can balance a career in science and having a family.C. Women have more barriers on their way to academic success.D. Women now have fewer problems pursuing a science career.DIn ancient times, Chinese used plant leaves or bird feathers as a fan during the summer time. This was the earliest form of the fan. The first real fan was made back in the era of Yao and Shun period thousands of years ago. Since then,Chinese-made fans have become a vital part of Chinese art and culture. At the beginning, the fan functioned as a tool to generate a current of air in the hot weather. Now electric fans such as ceiling fans and other technological breakthroughs have taken the place.Long ago, fans caught the attention of ancient Chinese artists by chance. Thereafter, a unique fan art gradually took shape in the history of Chinese culture. Fan art usually includes Chinese calligraphy, paintings, or poems on the sectors(扇区). Special skills are needed to write or paint on them.Due to its history and partly because of its unique shape, Chinese would soon develop the tradition of using fans as ornaments(装饰品). Fans are made in different sizes and different color1 s to meet the needs of each request. Other Chinese ornaments, such as the Chinese knot, the green jade, and the Spring Festival picture, are often combined in each design.The value of fans depends mainly on the materials used and the level of craftsmanship that is involved during the process. Feather, paper, jade, bamboo and silk have all been used as ideal materials to make fans. Ancient Chinese even made iron fans to serve as deadly weapons(武器)in Chinese martial arts. Fans made by famous craftsmen are often characterized by pretty designs and detailed workmanship, and thus become favorites of collectors. Fans with masterpiece fine art like calligraphy or paintings are even more valuable.12.What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. The origin of fans.B. The materials of fans.C. The popularity of fans.D. The production of fans.13. Why do Chinese use fans as ornaments?A. They are made of valuable materials.B. They reflect the beauty of Chinese culture.C. They convey literature works on the sectors.D. They are often combined with other ornaments.14. Which of the following makes a fan favored by most collectors?A. Its advanced function.B. Its complex character.C. Its artistic handicraft.D. Its various applications.15. What can we infer about the fan from the text?A. Chinese send fans to their friends as gifts.B. Chinese ornaments can meet different requests.C. Traditional fans have lost their functional value.D. The fan plays different roles with the change of time.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

It was the same when my cousin commented on my new furniture and Japanese, fine-bone-china bowls and asked where I got them. They were from the local op shop but instead I said “from the antique shop”.Many people in my Greek-Cypriot community would look down on me if I said I shopped at the op shop. They may pity me, consider me poor, a failure. Immigrants sacrificed their families and homes for a better life. Buying a house and having enough money to live comfortably, to educate your children and see them also live comfortably, are a big part of the immigrant dream, But has this dream made us materialistic at the cost of our own planet?Our love for purchasing the latest trendy clothes or furniture, then donating them when we are tired of them has become normal. I was once like this. But after watching the documentaryThe True CostI learned donated clothes that don’t get sold are sent to developing nations, many of them ending up in landfills (垃圾填埋地). In addition, your new dress requires electricity and materials to make. But if you buy a second-hand dress, that’s one less dress in a landfill and one less new dress to be made.A friend introduced me to op shopping only a few years ago. My firstitem was a dress she gifted me. It was lovely and I loved it. Nobody could tell it was second-hand. This opened me up to purchasing more second-hand high quality branded clothes. Once I visited a friend and was impressed by how she decorated her apartment. “It’sall second-hand,” she said. I couldn’t believe it. The truth is a lot of things sold at the op shop are in new or almost new condition. That’s when I made the decision to only buy second-hand things.Selling second-hand things isn’t anything new butwhat the planet needs is more buyers. There is so much excess (过量) production in the world. So stop feeling ashamed, and let’s get shopping.4. What kind of feeling is expressed in Paragraph 1?A. Pride.B. Embarrassment.C. Delight.D. Sympathy.5. Whatare many people in the author’s community like?A. They are probably materialistic.B. They care about the environment.C. They think highly of op shopping.D. They look down upon immigrants.6. What was the author encouraged to do after visiting her friend’s apartment?A. Watch the documentaryThe True Cost.B. Donate more to local charities.C. Avoid shopping too much.D. Stop buying new things.7. What’s the purpose of the text?A. To entertain.B. To advertise.C. To persuade.D. To describe.CIf you easily make mistakes when in a hurry, a new study from Michigan State University—the largest of its kind to date-found that meditation (冥想) could help you improve the situation.The research tested how open monitoring meditation (OMM)—or, meditationthat focuses awareness on feelings or thoughts as they unfold in one’s mind and body—alteredbrain activity in a way that suggested increased error recognition.“People’s interest in meditation is outpacing what science can prove in terms of effects and benefits.” said Jeff Lin, MSU psychology doctoral candidate and study co-author. “But it’s amazing to me that we were able to see how one session of a guided meditation could produce changes to brain activity in non-meditators.”“Some forms of meditation have you focus on a single object, commonly your breath, but open monitoring meditation is a bit different,” Lin said, “It has you tune inward and pay attention to everything going on in your mind and body. The goal is to sit quietly and pay close attention to where the mind travels without getting toocaught up in the scenery.”Lin and his MSU co-authors—William Eckerle, Ling Peng and Jason Moser—hired more than 200 participants to test how open monitoring meditation affected how people detect and respond toerrors.The participants, who had never meditated before, were taken through a 20-minute open monitoring meditation exercise while the researchers measured brain activity through electroencephalography (脑电图), or EEG. Then, they completed a computerized distraction (分心) test.“The EEG can measure brain activity at the millisecond level, so we got precise measures of brain activity right after mistakes compared to correct responses,” Lin said. “A certain neural signal occurs about half a second after an error called the error positivity, which is linked to conscious error recognition. We found that the strength of this signal is increased in the meditators to controls.”“These findings show what just 20 minutes of open monitoring meditation can do to improve the brain’s ability to detect and pay attention to mistakes,” Moser said.8. What does the underlined word “altered” in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. Changed.B. Prevented.C. Started.D. Recorded.9. Why is open monitoring meditation different?A. It is just aimed at a single object.B. It clears your mind of everything.C. It gets too caught up in the scenery.D. It focuses on where the mind travels.10. What did the researchers do for the studyA. They hired people who had meditated before.B. They measured the participants’ brain activity.C. They reminded the participants to avoid errors.D. They had non-meditators design a distraction test.11. What is the best title for the text?A. Turn to OMM to Avoid Acting in a HurryB. You’re Able to Recognize Errors ConsciouslyC. Meditators’ Brain Proves Much More ActiveD. OMM Can Help You Make Fewer MistakesDAccording to a survey, the wasteof food on the dining table occupies 10% of the total grain output.Last week, Meituan, a giant online food ordering platform, co-published a proposal with a number of business organizations, calling on restaurants to stop food waste and help develop new eating habits for customers. Following the proposal, merchants are asked to offer guidance for consumers, including reminding them during the ordering process about the taste of the ingredients, portion sizes and other information aboutthe dishes, to helpthem avoid excessive ordering and food waste.Catering(餐饮)associations in more than 18 provinces have also joined the campaign to remove food waste. The Wuhan Catering Association proposed an “NT" ordering code for restaurants in which a group of 10 diners would only order enough for nine people. More food is only brought to the table if required. On Friday, the China Cuisine Association announced that it had teamed up with Ele. me, the Alibaba Group Holding-owned food delivery platform, to launch a "half-dish plan," encouraging restaurants to provide customers with the option to order smaller portions.Tang Zhisong, a professor at Southwest University Education School, said "Evaluating how much you can eat, how much you should buy and how to deal with the leftover is a way for young people to improve their self-management. It's also a means to teach them sharing food, caring about others, and more importantly, developing a mindset of suitability. "12. What's the purpose of the proposal mentioned in the passage?A. To change customers' attitude toward life.B. To promote a new policy on food delivery.C. To spread the idea of healthy eating.D. To encourage restaurants to reduce food waste.13. What does the underlined word “excessive" in Paragraph 2 prolably mean?A. More than enough.B. Less than required.C. Better than ever.D. Worse than before.14. Paragraph 3 is mainly developed by.A. offering analysesB. presenting a surveyC. giving examplesD. making comparisons15. What do Tang's words suggest?A. Sharing food is caring about others.B. Young people should have self-discipline.C. Reducing food waste has all-round benefits.D Saving food contributes to a sustainable society.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

It is my pleasure to recommend a touching picture to you, by which I am sure you will be deeply impressed.The picture presents us with a moving and thought-provoking scene. This is the COVID-19 ward in a hospital.A 3-year-old patient has been cured and discharged from the hospital. He bows to the nurse and the nurse returns the compliment.The reason why I recommend this photo is simple: there is no shortage of warmth during the epidemic. The little patient’s action made us very moved. He learned to be grateful. I believe that during the treatment, he saw the hard work of doctors and nurses, and felt the truth of “doctors benevolent”.

Reading prehensionSection A10%Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Over weight has been a great concern for some people. In an attempt to keep normal weight, people have 50 tried various methods. Nevertheless, not all the ways are 51when it es to health. For weight loss, many people 52 the high-protein, low-carbohydrate (碳水化合物) diets. However, such diets might have 53 harmful long-term effects on the colon (结肠), a small study indicates.In the study, UK researchers found that a protein-heavy, low-carbohydrate diet created certain 54 in the colon that could lead to colon cancer risk. The study itself does not show whether high-protein diets really raise the 55 of any colon diseases, but the findings raise that possibility.Diets 56 high in protein and lower in carbohydrates have been shown to help heavy people lose weight. “People s hould not be 57 from losing weight,” Dr Flint said. 58 , he added, they should make sure that any weight loss plan includes adequate amounts of fiber (纤维) and a high protein over months to years might have ill effects on the colon.The findings are based on seventeen overweight men who 59 three short-term diets: a one-week menu plan to keep their weight; a four-week high-protein diet with 60 amounts of carbohydrates; and a four-week high-protein diet low in carbohydrates.On average, the study found when the men were on the high-protein diets, they had higherlevels of substances known as N-nitrous pounds (亚硝基化合物) that have been 61 cancer. And when they were on the high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet, they had lowered amounts of fiber-originated pounds (源自纤维的混合物) thought to be protective against 62 .Exactly what those changes might mean for a person’s health is 63 ; But Flint said that the findings suggest that people should be aware of consuming too much protein and too little fiber over a long period. 64 , experts remend that adults get about 28 grams of fiber per day—though it’s not known whether that’s enough for someone on a high-protein weight-loss diet.50.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.AThe custom of playing tricks on friends on April 1st is believed to have originated in France in the middle of the 16th century.Before that time, one calendar was used throughout Europe. Under this calendar, each new year began on April 1st. On that day, people celebrated by exchanging gifts and visiting each other.Then in 1564, King Charles IX of France adopted a new calendar and ordered that each new year was to begin on January 1st. However, while most people followed their king’s order, there were some who did not like the idea of the change and refused to accept the New Year’s Day.These people soon became the butt of jokes and tricks by their friends and neighbours because they continued to observe April 1st as New Year’s Day. These friends and neighbours sent mock gifts, invited these people to fake parties, and played tricks on them because they were “April Fools”, people who insisted on their New Year’s Day.65. ________________, each new year began on April 1st.A. After 1564B. Before 1564C. After the 16th centuryD. Before the 16th century66. Some people were called “April Fools” because ________________.A. they still wanted to keep the customB. they liked “April Fools”C. they played tricks on othersD. they wanted to be “April Fools”67. From the story we know _________________.A. “April Fools” insisted on their New Year’s Day on January 1stB. people were very happy on April Fool’s DayC. “April Fools” hated their French kingD. April Fool’s Day is a custom of making fun of friends(B)Marlon Brando is widely considered the greatest movie actor of alltime.He was born in Omaha Nebraska in 1924. He was named after hisfather, a salesman. His mother, Dorothy, was an actress in the local theater.Marlon Brando moved to New York City when he was 19 years old in1943. He took acting classes at the New School for Social Research. One ofhis teachers was Stella Adler, who taught the "Method" style of realisticacting. The Method teaches actors how to use their own memories andemotions to identify with the characters they are playing.Marlon Brando learned the Method style quickly and easily. Critics said he was probably the greatest Method actor ever. One famous actress mented on his natural ability for it. She said teaching Marlon Brando the Method was like sending a tiger to jungle school.Marlon Brando appeared in several plays. He got his first major part in a Broadway play in 1947, at the age of 23. He received great praise for his powerful performance at Stanley Kowalski in Tennessee Williams' play, A Streetcar Named Desire. His fame grew when he acted the same part in the movie version, released in 1951.Marlon Brando won the Best Actor Oscar for The God Father, but he rejected it. He sent a woman named Sasheen Littlefeather to speak for him at the Academy Awards ceremony. She said that Brando could not accept the award because of the way the American film industry treated Native Americans. The people at the Academy Awards ceremony did not like the speech. But some experts think the action helped change the way American Indians were shown in movies.Marlon Brando acted in about forty movies. He was nominated for a total of eight Academy Awards. But he earned a "bad boy" reputation for his public outbursts and unusual behaviours. According to Los Angeles magazine, "Brando was rock and roll before anybody knew what rock and roll was". His later life was marked with family tragedies. His son Christian went to prison for killing his daughter Cheyene’s boyfriend. Cheyene later mitted suicide. Brando became lonely. He worked occasionally for the money. But, in his prime, Marlon Brando was an actor other actors could only hope to bee.68. According to the passage, the "Method" ______.A. requires actors to use their imagination in actingB. made Marlon Brando a great and famous actorC. wasn't very difficult for Marlon BrandoD. can be most effectively learned in a jungle69. The speech at the Academy Awards ceremony ______ at the time.A. made Sasheen Littlefeather well-knownB. was well-received by Native AmericansC. changed people's attitude to American IndiansD. received both positive and negative responses70. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Marlon Brando’s later life was troubled and unhappy.B. A Streetcar Named Desire was later adapted into a movie.C. Marlon Brando was the first rock star in USA.D. As an actor, Brando’s talent was unparalleled.71. The purpose of this passage is to ______.A. inform us of Marlon Brando's attitude to civil rights movementB. introduce Marlon Brando as one of the greatest actorsC. help us understand Marlon Brando's secret to successD. instruct us how to bee a great actor like Marlon Brandopositive experience. As one of the homestay hosts explains: "It's going to be a great experience, not only in Interviewees touch on a variety of topics including British vs. American accents, multi-level classrooms, and bining personal interests such as music, gaming and social media with self-study. As Daniel Emmerson talks72. From the passage we can conclude that “Learning English Video Project” is most probably________.A. an online language learning courseB. audio documents on language learningC. a series of short video programsD. a set of films on English-speaking countries73. If someone is interested in the parison between English and other languages, he might beinterested to watch __________.A. Encounters in the UKB. Stories from MoroccoC.Thoughts from BrazilD. Insights from China74. What can we know about English learning in Sao Paulo, Brazil?A. Classroom teaching is more interactive and municative.B. Homestay arrangement provides positive experience for learners.C. The Internet and games plays a major role in language learning.D. The principle of learning by doing is widely accepted by learners.Section DDirections:Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or plete the statements in the fewest possible words.At present, in many American cities especially, many teachers in the public schools say they are underpaid. They point to jobs such as secretary or truck driver, which often pay more to start than that of a teacher. In many other fields, such as law, medicine, puter science, a beginning worker may make more than a teacher who has taught for several years.Teaching has never been a profession that attracted people interested in high salaries. It is by history a profession that has provided rewards in addition to money—the satisfaction of sharing knowledge, of influencing others, of guiding young people. But in the past several years, there are more difficulties in teaching, for many, than there are rewards.Unruly (不守规矩的) students, especially in big cities, large classes and a lack of support from the public in terms of money and understanding have led many public school teachers to leave the profession.As a result, many of the best students, who would have chosen teaching as their life career in the past, are going into other fields.Another reason for this change in teacher candidates is the changing status of women in the United States. Until the late 1960s and 1970s, one of the most popular choices for women was teaching. But as other professions, such as law and medicine opened up to women, women stopped pouring into teacher training programs. Thus, excellent candidates for the teaching profession declined.Bit by bit government officials and others realized that the status of the teacher had suffered. They talked about change. But the change in a vast society like the United States is not easy.People’s attitudes have formed over many years, and sometimes change takes many years.(Note: Answer the questions or plete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)75. Many teachers in the public schools of America are plaining ____________________.76. What is the consequence(后果) of the public school teachers’ leaving the profession?第II卷(16分)I.

The book was about a rabbit,and a month before it came out Williams buried a gold rabbit in a park in Bedlordshire.The book contained a large number of clues to help readers find the rabbit,but Williams put in a lot of“red herrings”,or false clues,to mislead them.Ken Roberts,the man who found the rabbit,had been looking for it nearly two years.Although he had beensearching in the wrong area most of the time,he found it by logic,not by luck.His success came from the fact that he had gained an important clue at the start.He had realized that the words“One of Six to Eight”under the first picture in the book connected the rabbit in some way to Katherine of Aragon,the first of Henry VIII’s six wives.Even here,however,Williams had succeeded in misleading him.Ken knew that Katherine of Aragon had died at Kimbolton in Cambrideshire in1536and thought that Williams had buried the rabbit there.He had been digging there for over a year before he came up with a new idea.He found out that Kit Williams had spent his childhood near Ampthill,in Bedfordshire,and thought that he must have buried the rabbit in a place he knew well,but he still could not see the connection with Katherine of Aragon,until one day he came across two stone crosses in Ampthill Park and learnt that they had been built in her honor in1773.Even then his search had not come to an end.It was only after he had spent several nights digging around the cross that he decided to write to Kit Williams to find out if he was wasting his time there.Williams encouraged him to continue,and on February24th1982,he found the treasure.It was worth£3000in the beginning,but the excitement it had caused since its burial made it much more valuable.49.The underlined word“them”(paragraph1).A.readers of MasqueradeB.treasure huntsC.Henry VIII’s six wivesD.red herrings50.What is the most important clue in the story to help Ken Roberts find the rabbit?A.Two stone crosses in AmpthillB.Stevenson’s Treasure IslandC.Williams’hometown.D.Katherine of Aragon51.The stone crosses in Ampthill were built.A.to tell about what happened in1773.B.to serve as a road sign in Ampthill Park.C.to show respect for Henry VIII’s first wife.D.to inform people where the gold rabbit was.52.Which of the following describes Roberts’logic in searching for the rabbit?a.Henry VIII’s six wivesb.Katherine’s burial place at Kimboltonc.Williams’childhood in Ampthilld.Katherine of Aragone.stone crosses in Ampthill ParkA.a-b-c-e-dB.d-b-c-e-aC.b-a-e-c-dD.a-d-b-c-eCEdward Wilson is America’s,if not the world’s,leading naturalist.In The Future of Life,he takes us on a tour of the world’s natural resources.How are they used?What has been lost?What remains and is it able to continue with the present speed of use?Wilson also points out the need to understand fully the biodiversity of our earth.Wilson begins with an open letter to the pioneer in environment protection,Henry David Thoreau.He compares today’s Walden Pond with that of Thoreau’s day.Wilson will use such comparisons for the rest of the book.The problem is clear:man has done great damage to his home over the years.Can the earth,with human help,be made to return to biodiversity levels that will be able to support us in the future?Biodiversity,Wilson argues,is the key to settling many problems the earth faces today.Even our agricultural crops can gain advantages from it.A mere hundred species are the basis of our food supply,of which but twenty carry the load.Wilson suggests changing this situation by looking into ten thousand species that could be made use of,which will be a way to reduce the clearing of the natural homes of plants and animals to enlarge farming areas.At the end of the book,Wilson discusses the importance of human values in considering the environment.If you are to continue to live on the earth,you may as well read and act on the ideas in this book.53.What does Wilson care most about?A.The biodiversity of our earth.B.The environment for plants.C.The wastes of natural resources.D.The importance of human values.54.How many species are most important to our present food supply?A.Ten thousand.B.One

in the world and are facing extinction.To drawattention to these scaly(有鳞片的),anteater-like animals,a new wildlife documentary,Eye of the Pangolin,is attempting a unique way to inspire action and conservation:access.Partnering with the non-profit organization Pangolin.Africa,the documentary was made available on YouTube in May2019.The intention is to reach communities wherever the Internet is available,especially African communities,who live near the animal’s habitats.Over two years,the documentary crew traveled to South Africa,Ghana,Central African Republic and Gabon in search of the four unique species of pangolin,which has never been achieved before.Filmmakers Bruce Young and Johan Vermeulen say that they went into the shoot knowing relatively little about pangolins,but grew to respect and appreciate the animals.Getting close to the creatures over two years was a crash course in these secretive creatures.Johan Vermeulen said,“One thing however that might seem unimportant is that they are actually quite fussy eaters.You would think they would eat any type of ant,but they all prefer a specific type ant.”Pangolins are hunted illegally across Africa for their scales,which are used for traditional medicine,and their meat.In April2019,Singaporean customs officials conducted two separate seizures of24tons of pangolin scales,which equals to the death of69,000pangolins.Though the documentary focuses less on the trafficking of pangolins,and more on the animals in their natural habitat,the aim of the documentary is to inspire viewers around the world to call for action to end trafficking and protecting these unique creatures.Filmed on location in South Africa,Ghana,Central African Republic,and Gabon,this powerful documentary is the story of two
