B．In 1959.C．In 2001. D．In 2005.3．According to the passage，which of the following has vanished?A．The Talaud flying fox of Indonesia.B．The rat­like Cuban rat.C．The Stellers Sea Cow.D．The Australian central rock rat.4．What can we learn from the passage?A．22 percent of the world’s mammals have disappeared.B．Scientists have done a lot of work to save many animals.C．Over two species are disappearing in the UK every year.D．Compared with animals，plants are safer from extinction.5．What can be the best title for the passage?A．Animal population increases VS mass extinctionB．The beautiful Ugandan national parksC．The life of the okapi before and after disappearingD．The extinction of the world’s mammalsBJimmy is an automotive mechanic，but he lost his job a few months ago.He has a good heart，but always feared applying for a new job.One day，he gathered up all his strength and decided to attend a job interview.His appointment was at 10 am and it was already 8∶30.While waiting for a bus to the office where he was supposed to be interviewed，he saw an elderly man wildly kicking the tyre of his car.Obviously there was something wrong with the car.Jimmy immediately went up to lend him a hand.When Jimmy finished working on the car，the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service.Jimmy said there was no need to pay him; he just helped someone in need，and he had to rush for an interview.Then the old man said，“Well，I could take you to the office for your interview.It’s the least I could do.Please，I insist.” Jimmy agreed.Upon arrival，Jimmy found a long line of applicants waiting to be interviewed.Jimmy still had some grease on him after the car repair，but he did not have much time to wash it off or have a change of shirt.One by one，the applicants left the interviewer’s office with disappointed looks on their faces.Finally his name was called.The interviewer was sitting on a large chair facing the office window.Rocking the chair back and forth，he asked，“Do you really need to be interviewed？” Jimmy’s heart sank.“With the way I look now，how could I possibly pass this interview？” he thought to himself.Then the interviewer turned the chair and to Jimmy’s surprise，it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning.It turned out he was the General Manager of the company.“Sorry I had to keep you waiting，but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as part of our workforce before you even stepped into this office.I just know you’d be a trustworthy worker.Congratulations！” Jimmy sat down and they shared a cup of well­deserved coffee as he landed himself a new job.6．Why did Jimmy apply for a new job?A．He was out of work.B．He was bored with his job.C．He wanted a higher position.D．He hoped to find a better boss.7．What did Jimmy see on the way to the interview?A．A friend’s car had a flat tyre.B．A wild man was pushing a car.C．A terrible car accident happened.D．An old man’s car broke down.8．Why did the old man offer Jimmy a ride?A．He was also to be interviewed.B．He needed a travelling companion.C．He always helped people in need.D．He was thankful to Jimmy.9．How did Jimmy feel on hearing the int erviewer’s question?A．He was sorry for the other applicants.B．There was no hope for him to get the job.C．He regretted helping the old man.D．The interviewer was very rude.10．What can we learn from Jimmy’s experience?A．Where there’s a will，there’s a wa y.B．A friend in need is a friend indeed.C．Good is rewarded with good.D．Two heads are better than one.。
