2．Hristo Hristov has been working with wildlife in Bulgaria's remote Rhodope Mountains for over 30 years.He first came here as a bright-eyed student in the early 1990s，eager to increase the number of griffon vulture （歐亞尤雪）.At the time，there were fewer than 20 birds left.Fast forward to November 2020，there were more griffon vultures.At the last count，a record 245 now live in the Rhodope Mountains.
As a rewilding officer，Hristo is responsible for the welfare of the animals in his area，which means constant observation，and lengthy periods out in the wild conducting research. "This process is sometimes long - you have to live together with the animals，" he explains." Forget everything；you live in nature.It doesn't matter if they're horses，wild cattle or European bison （野牛）."
This small corner of south-eastern Europe is one of the continent's most ecologically diverse areas.Large animals，such as wolves，brown bears，deer，and wild horses，coexist here.It's also a peaceful place for birdlife，with 300 species recorded.The ultimate goal is to create a habitat where multiple different species depend on one another.
Hristo's current challenge is to continue the reintroduction of European bison to the wild.Since 2013，Hristo has worked with Rewilding Europe，a not-for-profit organisation which operates across Europe，to bring bison back to the Rhodope Mountajye.ais.In 2019，several bison were released into the wild，and three baby bison have already been born，two of those coming in 2020.At the end of last year，another two females were donated to the project from zoos in Hungary and Slovakia.When the new animals are eventually released into the wild，they will number 13.

3．Under the first full moon of the year，music lovers in Norway sit on seats made of ice and covered with animal skins.On a frozen stage，musicians in furry hats and coats play instruments carved from ice!This show is the Ice Music Festival，the only concert in the world of its kind.This cool idea began in 1999，when musician Terje Isungset played music inside a frozen waterfall.The amazing sounds that he heard led him to start using ice as a musical instrument.Isungset spent years experimenting with ice instruments.The more he learned，the more excited he became.After years of trial and error，he was ready to start the Ice Music Festival in 2016.
To prepare the frozen instruments，Isungset hunts for the best natural sources of ice.He tests each source of ice by cutting out a piece，tapping it with his finger，and listening to the sound it produces.Experience tells him whether the ice will make a good instrument.He prefers not to use，human-made ice，because he believes frozen lake water sounds better.This may be supported by science.Scientists have noticed that natural ice has fewer bubbles （氣泡），which could lead to a clearer sound.
Once the ice has been sourced，professional ice carvers use tools to create instruments.They carve everything from saxophones to xylophones，The carvers often change the look of the instruments，which helps them produce special，even unique，sounds.Each year，the goal of the festival is to challenge musicians to make creative music when playing these one-of-a-kind ice instruments.
Playing the frozen instruments is a challenge.Each performance surprises both the musicians and the audience，After the concert is over，Isungset jokes that the musicians will drink their instruments.Actually，they just leave their stage and instruments behind，giving it all back to nature.
（1）What inspired Isungset's interest in ice music？
A．Leaning to play an ice instrument.
B．Attending the first Ice Music Festival.
C．Playing music in a frozen environment.
D．Experimenting with frozen instruments.
（2）How does Isungset choose the best ice？
A．By testing the sound that it makes.
B．By referring to scientific explanations.
C．By comparing the sources of ice pieces.
D．By checking the number of bubbles it has.
（3）What is the biggest challenge faced by ice music musicians？
A．Playing in such cold weather.
B．Getting rid of their instruments.
C．Selecting their instruments' look.
D．Predicting their instruments' sounds.
（4）What's the purpose of the text？

9．Two things changed my life：my mother and a bike basket.It's true.I would be a different person if my mom hadn't turned a bike basket into a life lesson I carry with me today----A lesson about the value of efforts.
My mother and father were united in their way of raising children，but it mostly fell to my mother to actually carry it out.Looking back，I honestly don't know how she did it.Managing the family budget must have been a very hard task，but she made it look effortless If we complained about not having what other kids did，we'd hear something like， "I don't care what s0-and-so got for his birthday，you are not getting a TV in your room or a big party" We had to earn our allowance（零用錢） by doing chores （家務(wù)） around the house.I can still remember how long it took to polish the legs of our coffee table.My brothers can no doubt remember hours spent cleaning the house.We had to keep track of our belongings，and if something was lost，it was not replaced.
It was one summer day.My mother drove me to the bike shop to get a tire fixed----and there
it was in the window - - white，shiny，plastic and decorated with flowers.The basket winked at me and I knew----I knew----I had to have it.
"It's beautiful， " my mother said when I pointed it out to her， "What a neat basket."
I tried to hold off at first，but then I couldn't stand it any longer. "Mom，please can I get it？I'll do extra chores for as long as you say.I'll do anything，but I love that basket.Please，Mom，please？" I was desperate.
"You know，" she said，gently rubbing my back while we both stared at what I believed was the coolest thing ever， "'If you save up you could buy this yourself."
"By the time I earn enough it'll be gone!Someone else will buy it Please，Mom，please？"
"There might be another way，" she said.
注意：1.續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右：2.請按如下格式在答題卡的相應(yīng)位置作答。
I'll buy it now but you only get it after 3 weeks of double chores，" Mom explained.______________
Finally，I got my dream basket，but soon I sadly found the same basket on others' bikes!_____________組卷：1引用：2難度：0.5
