In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times. People in these states have more heart problems after the weather changes quickly in February or March. ③The weather can also influence intelligence. For example the IQs (智商) of a group of students were very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQs were 10% lower. The wind can help people have higher intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in the hot months of the year. ④Weather also has a strong influence on people’s feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold in these months. They may feel gloomy and don’t want to talk to anyone in cold weather. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer. People feel best at a temperature of about 18℃. At about 18℃, people become stronger. ⑤So, pay more attention to the weather.

As populations grow, food becomes a problem. Many deer die of hunger. Others grow up small and unhealthy. In search of food. hungry deer move closer to where humans live. They eat farm crops, vegetables and even trees. Besides, increased numbers of deer near roads can cause traffic accidents. People admire the grace and fast speed of deer. Most people don't want these animals to be hungry and ill. Should people take action to control the growing deer populations? Should People Take Direct Action? Many people think that hunting (打猎) is the best way to control the animal populations. Wildlife managers will see if there's enough food in an area and decide its carrying capacity (容量). Then hunters with licenses are sent to help control the number of deer. Hunting is usually not allowed in cities or suburbs, however. Some people have the idea to catch the deer and move them to other places. But this method is expensive and requires finding another place that can accept the deer without breaking the balance of ecosystem. Scientists are also working to develop chemicals to control the birth rate in deer populations. But this plan works for only one year at a time. Should People Take Indirect Action? Some suggest bringing in natural enemies of deer, such as wolves, lions and bears, to areas with too many deer. But these animals could also hurt dogs, cats, and even humans. Other communities have built tall fences (篱笆) around areas to keep out the deer. However, this is impossible for farmers. ▲ Some people are against any kind of action. They support leaving the deer alone. Animal populations in an area naturally go up and down over time. Doing nothing means that some deer will die of hunger or illness. But finally, the population will reach a size within the carrying capacity of the environment. So, let nature go its own way. 29. According to the passage, increased numbers of deer can bring _______ to people in the area. A. water pollution B. traffic accidents C. serious illnesses D. growing populations 30. Which of the following is the best to fill in the "____________" in the passage? A. Should People Do Nothing? B. Should People Protect the Deer? C. Should People Take Special Action? D. Should People Drive the Deer Away? 31. The writer most probably agrees that ________________. A. farmers can build fences to keep the deer out B. people should leave the deer alone in the wild C. hunting is the best way to control the deer populations D. it's great to catch the deer and move them to other places 32. The writer organizes this passage by ________________. A. telling stories B. using numbers C. giving opinions D. describing scenes 【答案】29. B 30. A 31. B 32. C 【解析】 【分析】文章讲诉了白尾鹿在美国的许多地区快速增长，引起一系列问题，针对这个问题有人认为应该采取措施来控制白尾鹿的数量，有人主张让它们自由，交给自然。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据Besides, increased numbers of deer near roads can cause traffic accidents.可知给人带来交通问题；故选B。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据Some people are against any kind of action. They support leaving the deer alone. Animal populations in an area naturally go up and down over time. Doing nothing means that some deer will die of hunger or illness. But finally, the population will reach a size within the carrying capacity of the environment. So, let nature go its own way可知是人们什么也不做吗，起到引起下文的作用；故选A 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据Other communities have built tall fences (篱笆) around areas to keep out the deer. However, this is impossible for farmers. Then hunters with licenses are sent to help control the number of deer. Hunting is usually not allowed in cities or suburbs, however.Some people have the idea to catch the deer and move them to other places. But this method is expensive可知这几个都不是好方法，根据Animal populations in an area naturally go up and down over time. Doing nothing means that some deer will die of hunger or illness. But finally, the population will reach a size within the carrying capacity of the environment. So, let nature go its own way.可知作者可能支持让鹿在野外自由生长；故选B。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章内容Should People Take Direct Action? Should People Do Nothing?，可知作者主要是给出观点来组织文章；故选C。 D 阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题 (请注意每小题后面的词数要求) 。 Once there was an old woman. She was so sick that she would die soon. One day, she looked out of the window and saw some dead leaves falling onto the ground from a tree. The old lady was rather sad to see that because she thought that her poor health was just like the dead leaves. She said to herself, “When the last leaf on the tree falls, I will die.” She became weaker and weaker day by day because of her sadness. An artist heard of it by accident. He then used a painting brush to draw a very green leaf and hung it on a stick tightly behind the weak lady’s back. The leaf that the artist drew looked really like a real one. The lady saw the very green “leaf” on the tree and didn’t feel as sad as before. She enjoyed the “leaf” every day. And to her surprise, the green “leaf” didn’t fall onto the ground! She was in a good mood after that and her condition improved. As a result, she lived for a long time just because of the green “leaf”. A person can have nothing but hope. Remember that while there is hope, there is life. 33. How did the lady feel after seeing the green “leaf” did not fall for a long time? (不超过6个词) __________________________________________________ 34.

It influences (影响) people’s health, intelligence (智力) and feelings. ②In August, it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States. Many people there have heart problems in this month. In the Northeast and the Middle West, it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times. People in these states have more heart problems after the weather changes quickly in February or March. ③The weather can also influence intelligence. For example, the IQs (智商) of a group of students were very high when a very strong wind came, but after the strong wind, their IQs were 10% lower. The wind can help people have higher intelligence. Very hot weather, on the other hand, can make it lower. Students in many schools of the United States often get worse on exams in the hot months of the year. ④Weather also has a strong influence on people’s feelings. Winter may be a bad time for thin people. They usually feel cold in these months. They may feel gloomy and don’t want to talk to anyone in cold weather. But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer. People feel best at a temperature of about 18℃. At about 18℃, people become stronger. ⑤So, pay more attention to the weather. Are you feeling sick, tired, or unhappy today? It may be the weather’s problem. 25. The underlined word “gloomy” in the passage means “________” in Chinese. A. 幸福的 B. 亢奋的 C. 郁闷的 D. 自信的 26. What will happen to people in “good weather” of about 18℃? A. People are very forgetful. B. People can’t do their work well. C. Thin people feel cold. D. People are in better health. 27. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 28. Where can we probably find the passage? A. In a guidebook. B. In a storybook. C. In a science magazine. D. In a dictionary. C Populations of white-tailed deer (白尾鹿) are growing rapidly in many parts of the United States. As populations grow, food becomes a problem. Many deer die of hunger. Others grow up small and unhealthy. In search of food. hungry deer move closer to where humans live. They eat farm crops, vegetables and even trees. Besides, increased numbers of deer near roads can cause traffic accidents. People admire the grace and fast speed of deer. Most people don't want these animals to be hungry and ill. Should people take action to control the growing deer populations? Should People Take Direct Action? Many people think that hunting (打猎) is the best way to control the animal populations. Wildlife managers will see if there's enough food in an area and decide its carrying capacity (容量). Then hunters with licenses are sent to help control the number of deer. Hunting is usually not allowed in cities or suburbs, however. Some people have the idea to catch the deer and move them to other places. But this method is expensive and requires finding another place that can accept the deer without breaking the balance of ecosystem. Scientists are also working to develop chemicals to control the birth rate in deer populations. But this plan works for only one year at a time. Should People Take Indirect Action? Some suggest bringing in natural enemies of deer, such as wolves, lions and bears, to areas with too many deer. But these animals could also hurt dogs, cats, and even humans. Other communities have built tall fences (篱笆) around areas to keep out the deer. However, this is impossible for farmers. ▲ Some people are against any kind of action. They support leaving the deer alone. Animal populations in an area naturally go up and down over time. Doing nothing means that some deer will die of hunger or illness. But finally, the population will reach a size within the carrying capacity of the environment. So, let nature go its own way. 29. According to the passage, increased numbers of deer can bring _______ to people in the area. A. water pollution B. traffic accidents C. serious illnesses D. growing populations 30 Which of the following is the best to fill in the "____________" in the passage? A. Should People Do Nothing? B. Should People Protect the Deer? C. Should People Take Special Action? D. Should People Drive the Deer Away? 31. The writer most probably agrees that ________________. A. farmers can build fences to keep the deer out B. people should leave the deer alone in the wild C. hunting is the best way to control the deer populations D. it's great to catch the deer and move them to other places 32. The writer organizes this passage by ________________. A. telling stories B. using numbers C. giving opinions D. describing scenes D 阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题 (请注意每小题后面的词数要求) 。 Once there was an old woman. She was so sick that she would die soon. One day, she looked out of the window and saw some dead leaves falling onto the ground from a tree. The old lady was rather sad to see that because she thought that her poor health was just like the dead leaves. She said to herself, “When the last leaf on the tree falls, I will die.” She became weaker and weaker day by day because of her sadness. An artist heard of it by accident. He then used a painting brush to draw a very green leaf and hung it on a stick tightly behind the weak lady’s back. The leaf that the artist drew looked really like a real one. The lady saw the very green “leaf” on the tree and didn’t feel as sad as before. She enjoyed the “leaf” every day. And to her surprise, the green “leaf” didn’t fall onto the ground! She was in a good mood after that and her condition improved. As a result, she lived for a long time just because of the green “leaf”. A person can have nothing but hope. Remember that while there is hope, there is life. 33. How did the lady feel after seeing the green “leaf” did not fall for a long time? (不超过6个词) __________________________________________________ 34.
