（一）【2019 • 重庆市中考A卷】
Imagine a world with no more animals: no elephants, no tigers or lions. To some people, that thought is too terrible for words. So they are doing something about it. Tiffany Soechting is one of them.
Being among wild animals—feeding them and caring for them—is all Tiffany Soechting has wanted to do with her life. And that is exactly what she does!
Soechting is the human ＂mother＂ to the 500 animals that live on her family wildlife farm in San Antonio, Texas. On the farm, she cares for animals from around the world. Soechting says she loves them all. However, two reticulated giraffes(网纹长颈鹿) take up a special place in her heart. Their population in the wild has become smaller by 80% in the last 15 years. ＂I’m so glad to get help from five wildlife researchers that took giraffes up to a higher level. All our hard work helps protect giraffes living in the wild.＂
Besides her animal caring, Soechting also holds monthly classes, where she teaches school children about the animals.
Soechting also opens the farm to the public. Visitors not only learn about the animals, they can also get close to them. And the animals are not against that. For them, people are part of their natural environment.
The farm is part conservation(保护) area, part educational center and part animal park. As the animals walk peacefully around the grounds, it is easy for them to forget that San Antonio, a busy city, is just a few minutes away.

On March 19，2019， eight-year-old Tani won the New York Championship(纽约象棋冠军赛) of his age group. But the boy, who was homeless at the time, began learning the game less than a year ago.
Tani and his family arrived in New York City from Africa in 2017. A church helped him enter the primary school, P. S. 116. Here the gifted boy was first introduced to chess by a part-time teacher Makofsky, owner of a chess club. Interested in the game, the seven-year-old asked his mother to allow him to join the club. Not able to afford the chess classes, she emailed Makofsky. To her surprise and joy, Makofsky agreed that Tani could learn it for free.
Though the chess club helps, it’s largely believed that Tani’s success lies in hard work. Theboy practices the game for many hours a day on the floor with his board. Every Saturday, Tani goes to a free 3-hour class to improve his game skills.
Not surprisingly, Tani’s story, first reported by The New York Times, has brought him great support from the public. Soon after the young boy won the New York Championship, Makofsky began a GoFundMe activity for Tani and his family so that he could continued his chess journey. It raised $200,000 in just ten days, far more than they expected. And the money keeps coming. But the family donates(捐赠) most of the money to the church and to those poor family!
Tani has also received offers from three famous private schools in New York. However, the family have politely refused all of them and chosen to continue Tani’s education at P. S. 116.
While excited about his new life, Tani is ready to meet great challenges(挑战). He is busy preparing for the 2019 National Primary Championships. Winning the competition will bring the chess player closer to his dream of becoming the world’s youngest chess grandmaster(大师). The record has been 17 years by the Russian chess player Karjakin, who won the title at the age of 12.

Recently I had a trip to Sydney with my parents. We visited the Wildlife Park.
The Wildlife Park has lots of different animals. Some are native(当地的) to Australians and can only be found there. There are more than 500 animals there, including kangaroos, koalas(考拉)and crocodiles(鳄鱼).They are kept in their natural environment. I like the Wildlife Park better than a zoo.

Although we couldn’t carry koalas, I could take a photo with one. It is a wonderful souvenir(纪念品) of my holiday in Sydney.
The Wildlife Park has plenty of freshwater crocodiles and saltwater crocodiles. Some of them are very big and scary(吓人的)with huge teeth! I did not want to get too close to them.
There was also a bird show. The keepers(饲养员)showed us different species(种类)of birds. I saw an old parrot(鹦鹉).It could "talk" and made a great impression on me.

One day, Joe saw Laurie standing at an upstairs window in his house and looking down at their garden. Jo’s sisters were playing in the snow there. They were throwing snowballs and having a lot of fun. But Laurie’s face was very sad.

Amram: Would your Majesty be good enough to feel this silk? See how fine and soft it is!
(Amram comes a little closer to the Queen and holds out some purple silk. She feels it.)
Queen: Yes, it is. And I like this bright purple color very much. (She turns to Zahrah.) Zahrah, what do you think of it?
Zahrah: I like it very much, and it is a good color for a queen, your Majesty. (She folds up the silk and puts it to one side.)

Amram: If I told you what happened one time when I was with the king. I think you would believe it.
Queen: I’d like to hear your story.
Amram: Well, one day our king and some men of his palace were riding on horseback to a nearby city. The king was riding ahead of the rest of us. All at once he pulled his horse to stop. He looked down at the sand in the road.
Queen: Go on.
Amram: Then the king turned his horse off the road and onto the grass. He kept his horse on the grass a little way before turning back onto the road.
Queen: Did he say why he stopped and then turned his horse off the road?
Amram: King Solomon told us he had seen some ants hurrying along in the sand of the road. He said he had heard them say they were afraid that the horses would walk on them.
Queen (Surprised): And that was why your mighty king turned off the road?
Amram (Proud): Yes, your Majesty. The mighty King Solomon stopped to hear what the little ants in the sand were saying. He turned off the road to save them from being hurt.
Queen: Then he must be as wise and as kind as people say he is.
Amram: Now you can believe it, can’t you?
Queen: I won’t fully believe it until I see and hear him myself, Amram.
Amram: Then why don’t you come to our country and pay him a visit, your Majesty?
Queen: Yes, I think I shall do that, Amram. But first I must think of a way to test this wise king. You may go now, Amram.

When ＂A Youthful Asia＂ came out at the Asian Culture Carnival (嘉年华) , tears filled my eyes. It’s Zhang Yixing, the singer and dancer standing there for us young people in China, and the very one who stopped me from falling.
Three years ago, my new school life began. As a junior boy from the countryside, I could hardly keep up. I tried, but still felt like an outsider. Nobody would pick me for teamwork. So I stayed in the corner, hanging my head low as if I didn’t care. There was a fear in me that all my school life would be colorless.
Then on May 4, I was ＂colorless＂ in Yixing’s book about his life. How could this be true for someone just named the youth idol (青年偶像)? I read the book again, smiling with the fun part of his childhood and touched by his pormise to his mum.
Something wet my eyes when he joked about his trianing years in Korea. He doubled his practice, pushing himself so hard as to be called ＂the trainee (练习生) like god＂. He said it probably meant ＂the trainee like mad＂.
I might have tried, but not as hard as he did. ＂Whenever I feel I might be falling, I tell myself to hold on until I find my moment.＂ Says Yixing. For me, this moment means a better self inside and a larger world outside. So I told myself I would also make a difference if I could hold on for a longer time.
Luckily, every Youth Day after that, Yixing would be there on CCTV, encouraging me with his prograss. When someone asked him what color his training life was, Yixing smiled, ＂It’s colorless. I don’t know what color effort is.＂
But effort pays. Not he’s standing at the Asian Culture Carnival, and I know he is looking forward to something even bigger.
42. When the writer just moved to the city, he __________.
A. enjoyed his new school life B. had a hard time at his new school

C. he was really good at telling jokes D. he spent so much time in practicing
44. The writer mainly wants to tell us that __________.
A. sometimes people choose to live a life without color
B. we can make a difference if we work hard enough
C. great effort can make you a great singer and dancer
D. school life can be full of colors if we read more books
45. We can infer (推断) that the writer __________.
