10、to these scaly, anteater-like animals, a new wildlife documentary, Eye of the Pangolin, is attempting a unique way to inspire action and conservation. Partnering with the non-profit organization Pangolin, Africa, the documentary was made available on YouTube in May 2019. The intention is to reach co
11、mmunities wherever the Internet is available, especially African communities, who live near the animals 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 be
12、fore. 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 thin
13、g, 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 Ap
14、ril 2019, Singaporean customs officials conducted two separate seizures of 24 tons of pangolin scales, which equals to the death of 69,000 pangolins.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
15、 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 men on a mission to get all four species of African pangolin on

18、A. A magazine.B. A diary.C. A novel.D. A brochureCThe killdeer, a small bird known for its high-pitched call, could lead to the cancellation of one of Canada biggest music festivals.The first hint of trouble for Ottawas Bluesfest, an outdoor festival that draws around 300,000 people each year, came
19、last week after workers at the site found one of the birds. It had laid four eggs nearby, effectively claiming the main stage area as its nesting ground. “This is one of the most challenging problems weve been presented with, but we feel we can work through this,” said Mark Monahan, executive direct
20、or of the festival.“Anything that changes the schedule has a major effect, so were taking it very seriously.” The discovery meant that government officials rushed to protect the nest and the eggs, hiring a security guard to watch over them 24 hours a day. Environmentalists were also brought in.“We d
21、ont know when the eggs might hatch,” said Monahan. What is known is that the young killdeer will likely leave the nest soon after they are hatched, leading many to hope that the eggs hatch in the next day or so.The festival is now seeking permission from Environment Canada to relocate the nest some
22、50 meters away or take it to a wildlife center. Moving the nest would also ensure the bird and its young would be protected during the festivals 11-day run, said Monahan. Its highly likely that the festivals thousands of attendees would cause huge problems for the bird and its eggs.Monahan was confi
23、dent that the festival would go on as planned, however. “Most of the people were working with are looking for a positive solution,” Monahan said. “There is no one saying that the festival cant go on.”As news of the dilemma spread, it left residents divided. Some supported the bird, saying that movin
24、g the nest might result in the eggs being abandoned. Others expressed annoyance that protecting the eggs of the small bird, which is widespread across North America, was risking an annual festival that contributes millions of dollars to the local economy.The killdeers tendency to build its nest in o
25、pen fields or flat areas has caused issues in other areas of the US: earlier this year, construction on a health center in Wisconsin was temporarily stopped after a killdeer and its four eggs were discovered.28. Which is TRUE about Bluesfest?A. It is the first music festival in Canada.B. It is an im
26、portant event for music lovers.C. It is a music festival held every two years.D. It is a challenging outdoor activity in Ottawa.29. What was especially challenging for Bluesfest this year?A. Pressure from the government.B. Disagreements with the public.C. The need to protect the birds eggs.D. The la
27、ck of experience in hosting the event.30. How did the festival plan to deal with the problem?A. Move the nest to another place.B. Ask government officials for help.C. Seek advice from environmentalists.D. Hire security guards to protect the eggs.31. What was Monahans attitude toward hosting the fest
28、ival?A. Negative. B. Indifferent. C. Unsure. D. Positive.DMost people arent good at creative problem solving for two reasons: First, they are not trained in how to be creative. Second, they dont understand group strength well enough to harness(驾驭) their power to maximize group creativity.A key eleme
29、nt of creativity is applying existing knowledge to a new problem. The more people getting involved in solving it, the more knowledge there is to work on it. Unfortunately, research shows that the traditional brainstorming methods fail to achieve that goal. When groups get together to exchange ideas,
30、 they actually come up with fewer ideas overall than if they each had worked alone.To fix this problem, you should consider the two stages of group problem-solving: divergence(分散) and convergence(集中). Divergence happens when the group considers as many different potential solutions as possible. Conv
31、ergence happens when the various proposed solutions are evaluated and reduced to a smaller set of candidate solutions to the current problem.The essential principle of group creativity is that individuals working alone diverge, whereas group members working together converge. In groups, once a membe
32、r states a potential solution, it makes others think about the problem similarly. That is why groups working together diverge less than individuals working alone.Therefore, be aware of when to diverge and when to converge. For example, early in the problem-solving process, have group members work al
33、one to write down statements describing the problem. Then get them back to discuss their descriptions. The group discussion will lead everyone to accept one or a small number of these statements to work onthis is healthy convergence.When starting to generate solutions, you again want divergence. Hav
34、e people work alone to start. Then collect peoples initial ideas and send them around to others and allow the divergence to continue as everyone individually builds on the ideas of other members. Finally, let the group discuss the resulting ideas. This discussion will gradually lead the group to con
35、verge on a small number of candidate solutions.This simple method works effectively, because it respects what individuals and groups do best. 32. We can infer that the traditional brainstorming methods _.A. enable people to form more ideas together B. greatly encourage group creativity C. actually l
36、imit group creativity D. prevent peoples involvement in the problems 33. According to Para. 4, when a member presents an idea, others tend to _.A. think the other way round B. follow his way of thinkingC. be more confident in their own ideas D. be less willing to share their own ideas34. What should
37、 group members first do early in the problem-solving process?A. Discuss the problem. B. Put down group statements together.C. Simplify the problem. D. Write down their individual descriptions.35. What is the best title for the text?A. A simple way to make group thinking more effectiveB. Difficulties
38、 in organizing group thinkingC. Differences between divergence and convergenceD. Advantages of group thinking over individual thinking第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。In Stressful Times, Make Stress Work for YouThese are stressful times.
