They hope to discourage the seabirds from wandering onto the highway. “The area is home to large crowds of birds that come to stay for the season. Young birds are often attracted to the warm road surface and get killed by the traffic，” biology student Hannah tells the broadcaster. The youngsters' feathers are brown in color. The dark­colored road surface makes the youngsters hard to be noticed. As the number of tourists has grown, so has the amount of traffic on the roads. Biologist Kristin says the plan is to see how the birds respond to the multi­colored road this summer. And if it works, the idea could spread to other parts of the country. 18．What did the scientists do to the road? A．They repaired it. B．They painted it. C．They blocked it. 答案：B 19．Why are young birds drawn to the road surface? A．It's warm. B．It's brown. C．It's smooth. 答案：A 20．What is the purpose of the scientists' experiment? A．To keep the birds there for a whole year. B．To help students study the birds well. C．To prevent the birds from being killed. 答案：C 第二部分　阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A New Jersey SEA LIFE Aquarium SEA LIFE, the world's largest network of aquariums (水族馆), recently made public its newest location: East Rutherford, NJ—at American Dream to be exact.

I live not far from the Kairaku Park, which is one of the largest gardens in Japan, and famous for its near 10，000 plum trees. I am fortunate to have them all outside my backyard, and take advantage of the walking paths daily. I see the same trees and swans every day, but that day was different. At the edge of the small lake, I saw some new­born black swans. They were pretty and cute. They stayed with their mom. While taking a few photos of the sunset, I was interrupted by a high sound going on for some time. So, I turned around and saw one little swan was stuck by two stones. Its mother was trying to make it out but failed. I tried to get near but the mother was ever so angry! She wouldn't allow me to get close, so I turned to an old man sitting on the bench and said, “Excuse me, the swan baby can't move and I want to help it, but the mother is extremely angry! Could you please do me a favor？” After hearing my words, the man smiled at me first and then agreed to help me. He drove the mother away with great efforts, and for several times, he was almost hurt by the mother. Thanks to him, I was able to get there and push the little swan out of the gap finally. Oh, I really hoped it wasn't injured, but at least it was alive and swimming! In spring, I become more physically active. Things around don't make us, but Nature does, and it keeps us going. I am positive that all of us have a little piece of nature in our own neighborhoods. Somewhere we will be reminded why natural life is so important—because we grow with it! Personally, I am happy that baby birds can put a smile on my face! I struggle for having a small number of “things” in life, and being filled with simple reality—at one with Nature. 篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要叙述了在春天，作者在公园散步时和公园里的一位老人拯救了一只小天鹅的故事。作者感到自然界是如此重要，因为人类和自然在一起成长。 24．What can we know about the author from Paragraph 1?

Native Americans had taken care of these precious natural resources wisely. Unfortunately, it took the explorers and the settlers who followed only a few decades to decimate a large part of these resources. Millions of waterfowl (水禽) were killed at the hands of market hunters and a handful of overly ambitious sportsmen. Millions of acres of wetlands were dried to feed and house the ever­increasing populations, greatly reducing waterfowl habitat (栖息地)． In 1934, with the passage of the Migratory Bird Hunting Stamp Act (Act), an increasingly concerned nation took firm action to stop the destruction of migratory (迁徙的) waterfowl and the wetlands so vital to their survival. Under this Act, all waterfowl hunters 16 years of age and over must annually purchase and carry a Federal Duck Stamp. The very first Federal Duck Stamp was designed by J．N. “Ding” Darling, a political cartoonist from Des Moines, Iowa, who at that time was appointed by President Franklin Roosevelt as Director of the Bureau of Biological Survey. Hunters willingly pay the stamp price to ensure the survival of our natural resources. About 98 cents of every duck stamp dollar goes directly into the Migratory Bird Conservation Fund to purchase wetlands and wildlife habitat for inclusion into the National Wildlife Refuge System—a fact that ensures this land will be protected and available for all generations to come. Since 1934, better than half a billion dollars has gone into that Fund to purchase more than 5 million acres of habitat. Little wonder the Federal Duck Stamp Program has been called one of the most successful conservation programs ever initiated. 篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了美国联邦鸭票计划的相关信息。 28．What was a cause of the waterfowl population decline in North America? A．Loss of wetlands. B．Popularity of water sports. C．Pollution of rivers. D．Arrival of other wild animals. 答案：A　细节理解题。根据第一段最后两句“Millions of waterfowl (水禽) were killed ... market hunters and a handful of overly ambitious sportsmen. Millions of acres of wetlands were dried ... greatly reducing waterfowl habitat (栖息地)．”可知，商业狩猎和户外运动爱好者的打猎是导致水禽数量下降的一个原因；另外一个原因是，由于湿地的流失，水禽的栖息地随之减少，从而造成水禽数量下降。故选A。 29．What does the underlined word “decimate” mean in the first paragraph? A．Acquire. B．Export. C．Destroy. D．Distribute. 答案：C　词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“Native Americans had taken care of these precious natural resources wisely.”可知，北美的土著居民把这些自然资源保护得很好。而画线词所在句用Unfortunately开头，与上文形成转折，说明移民者破坏了这些资源。故选C。 30．What is a direct result of the Act passed in 1934? A．The stamp price has gone down. B．The migratory birds have flown away. C．The hunters have stopped hunting. D．The government has collected money. 答案：D　推理判断题。根据第三段中的“About 98 cents of every duck stamp dollar goes directly into the Migratory Bird Conservation Fund”可知，联邦政府将出售美国联邦鸭票的收入直接投入候鸟保护基金，用来保护湿地和野生动物栖息地。由此可推知，该法案的直接结果是政府筹集到了资金。故选D。 31．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A．The Federal Duck Stamp Story B．The National Wildlife Refuge System C．The Benefits of Saving Waterfowl D．The History of Migratory Bird Hunting 答案：A　标题判断题。通读全文可知，本文主要从开展美国联邦鸭票计划的缘由、鸭票计划的实施，以及实施成效三方面介绍了鸭票计划的相关信息。故选A。 D Widespread descriptions of animals in pop culture could actually be hurting the animals' survival chances in the wild, new research suggests. Franck Courchamp of the University of Paris—Sud was interested in the idea of “appeal” in animals. He wanted to know: What species do people consider appealing or attractive? And what are the influences of being appealing on populations in the wild? In a research published this month, Courchamp and other researchers list the top 20 appealing species. Most of the animals identified as appealing are large mammals (哺乳动物) living on land. Coming in first place were tigers, followed by lions, elephants, giraffes, panthers, pandas, cheetahs, polar bears, wolves, and gorillas. However, at least half of the interviewees didn't realize that five of the top ten most appealing species are threatened. It__is__paradoxical__that__we__haven't_ _been__able__to__protect__the__species__we__care__about__the__most. The study also found that we are flooded with images of these creatures, even as they are becoming fewer in the wild. The study suggests that too much of imagination might be creating a “virtual population” of the animals in people's minds, making them believe there are far more individuals in the wild than is exact. The study authors suggest that companies who benefit from the use of these images should set aside a small percentage of their profits for protection efforts and informational campaigns. “That would be not only something fair, but that would be something that could bring a win—win situation for them，” Courchamp says. “It could bring them positive public relation, for example. Besides, if a company's mascot (吉祥物) goes extinct, that could hurt them from a marketing point，” Courchamp says. But not enough companies are “truly concerned about the protection of the species that they work on，” he adds. 篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。一项新的研究表明，流行文化中对动物的广泛描述实际上可能会损害动物在野外的生存机会。 32．It can be inferred that the widespread images of animals in pop culture ________． A．lead people to forget the less appealing animals B．make a false impression of the animals' real situation C．raise people's wildlife protection attention and efforts D．bring a win－win situation for both animals and companies 答案：B　推理判断题。根据第一段“Widespread descriptions of animals in pop culture could actually be hurting the animals' survival chances in the wild, new research suggests.(一项新的研究表明，流行文化中对动物的广泛描述实际上可能会损害动物在野外的生存机会。)”可推知，流行文化中普遍存在的动物形象，使人们对动物的真实处境产生了错误的印象。故选B。 33．What does the writer mean by saying the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3? A．It is important to protect these endangered species. B．It is natural to regard the large mammals as attractive. C．It is terrible that the species are dying out at an alarming speed. D．It is strange that people's thoughts contrast with their behaviors. 答案：D　句意猜测题。根据第三段倒数第二句“However, at least half of the interviewees didn't realize that five of the top ten most appealing species are threatened.(然而，至少有一半的受访者没有意识到十大最吸引人的物种中有五种正受到威胁。)”可知，人们非常喜爱这些动物，但是他们没有意识到它们正受到威胁，并没有好好保护它们。由此可推知，画线句是指 “奇怪的是，人们的思想与他们的行为形成对比。”故选D。 34．Courchamp lists the companies' responsibilities and their advantages by________． A．giving examples B．analyzing data C．making comparisons D．using numbers 答案：A　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“It could bring them positive public relation, for example. Besides, if a company's mascot (吉祥物) goes extinct, that could hurt them from a marketing point(例如，它可以给他们带来正面的公共关系。此外，如果一家公司的吉祥物灭绝了，从营销角度来说，这可能会对他们造成伤害)”可推知，Courchamp(库尚)通过举例列出了这些公司的责任和优势。故选A。 35．What's Courchamp's attitude to the companies benefiting from animal images? A．Neutral. B．Supportive. C．Dissatisfied. D．Positive. 答案：C　推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句中的“But not enough companies are ‘truly concerned about the protection of the species that they work on’”可知，但没有足够多的公司真正关心保护他们公司吉祥物所代表的物种。由此可推知，他对这些公司很不满。故选C。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The Qingming Festival is celebrated with a three­day national holiday, whose name originates from the saying “Plants start to revive and prosper at Qingming in a clean and bright way.

The rolling sea of clouds you see once you are at the top will remind you how tiny we __57__ (human) are. The hot spring at the foot of the mountain is something you must try after the climb. It will __58__ (undoubted) help you get refreshed! The amazing thing about the spring is that the colder the temperature gets, the __59__ (hot) the spring! Strange, isn't it? But that's how nature is—always leaving us __60__ (astonish)． What comes next is the endless series of steps. You can't help wondering how hard it __61__ (be) for the people then to put all those rocks into place. Though it is the only unnatural thing on your way up the mountain, still it highlights the whole adventure __62__ offers a place where you can sit down to rest your __63__ (ache) legs. As the song goes, this long and winding road “will never disappear”， and it will always stick in the visitor's memory. It sure does in __64__ (I). While you're in China, Mount Huangshan is __65__ must to visit! 56．______　57.______　58.______　59.______ 60．______　61.______　62.______　63.______ 64．______　65.______ 篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者登顶黄山的经历。 56．What　考查主语从句的连接词。根据句子结构可知，句中缺少引导主语从句并在主语从句中作主语的连接代词。连接代词what具有这一功能，相当于the thing that。句首字母大写。故填What。 57．humans　考查名词。设空处所填的词应该在句中作we的同位语，应用human的复数。故填humans。 58．undoubtedly　考查词性转换。此处应用副词作状语修饰谓语动词help。故填undoubtedly。 59．hotter　考查形容词的比较级。此句含有一个“the＋比较级 ...，the＋比较级 ...”句型，该句型意为“越……越……”。由the colder和设空前的the可知，此处应用hot的比较级。故填hotter。 60．astonished　考查词性转换。此句中含有“leave sb/sth＋adj.”结构，表示“使……处于某种状态”。此处应用形容词astonished作宾语补足语，说明人的感受，意为“吃惊的”。故填astonished。 61．was　考查动词的时态和主谓一致。时间状语then常与过去时连用，意为“那时”，形式主语it为第三人称单数，故填was。 62．and　考查连词。句意：尽管这是你登山途中所见的唯一非自然事物，但它同样突出了整个奇遇过程，而且还为你提供了可以让你疼痛的双腿休息的地方。此处highlights the whole adventure和offers a place是两个并列成分，应用连词and连接。故填and。 63．aching　考查非谓语动词。此处用现在分词作定语修饰legs，表示“疼痛的腿”。故填aching。 64．mine　考查代词。句意：这首歌必定会留在我的记忆中。句中it指代the song，does指代动词sticks，设空处应指 my memory，为避免重复，用“名词性物主代词”来代替“形容词性物主代词＋名词”。故填mine。 65．a　考查冠词。must作名词时意为“必须做的事”，为可数名词，此处泛指“一个必须参观的景点”，应用不定冠词，且must的发音以辅音音素开头。故填a。 第四部分　写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 大熊猫是中国的国宝。请根据下列提示写一篇英语短文，介绍大熊猫。 1．大熊猫是中国的稀有动物，也是世界稀有动物之一，为中国人民和世界人民所喜爱； 2．大熊猫生长在山里，以竹笋为食；由于山林遭到破坏，竹子被砍伐，觅食越来越困难，濒临灭绝； 3．我国已经建立数个自然保护区，但需要更多的资金； 4．希望大家伸出援助之手来保护它们。 注意：1.写作词数应为80左右； 2．可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 [精彩范文] The giant panda is a rare animal in China, and also one of the rarest animals in the world. It is loved by both the Chinese and the people of the world. The home of the giant panda is in the mountains. It feeds on bamboo shoots. With forests being destroyed and bamboos cut down, it's difficult for giant pandas to find food for themselves. To protect pandas, China has set up some nature reserves, but more money is needed to carry out this important rescue project. We hope that people will lend a helping hand to save the giant pandas so that this kind of lovely rare animals will live with mankind forever. 第二节(满分25分) 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 “I don't want to go.” Maria moved her feet slightly and hung her shoulders. Mom continued packing a bag. “We're going to Uncle Rich's in Montana for summer vacation. He's your father's brother, and we go there every year.” Maria stormed out of her mom's room and said angrily, “Nobody ever thinks of me！” “That's enough. We're going.” replied Mom angrily, too. Their August vacation came sooner than Maria wanted. Before she knew it, she and the family were at Uncle Rich's farm. Uncle Rich grabbed her dad and hugged him. Maria grabbed her bag, “I'm going to my room.” “Wait a minute, Maria，” said Uncle Rich. “I have got something to show you.” At the barn (牲口棚) Maria saw the horse. It was of medium size. It had a fine, soft black coat and one white foot. There was a wide white patch (斑) that ran down the center of its face. Maria fell in love with it at first sight. “Wow! What a horse！” “He's a mustang，” said Uncle Rich. “Mustangs are free horses who live in the wild. We found him stuck in the mud down by the river. My friend and I roped him and managed to get him out.” Maria kicked the dirt. “Can I help care for him？” Then she felt her heart beating in expectation. Uncle Rich laughed. “You bet. The more hands we have, the better. Just don't get too attached. Once we're sure he's okay, we will have to set him free. Mustangs went from over a million at the beginning of the 20th century to less than 17，000 in 1970. They were hunted illegally for meat.” 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Hearing this, Maria felt her stomach turn. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Maria hurried back to the barn in a flash. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 写前导读：本文是一篇记叙文。虽然Maria(玛丽亚)不情愿，但还是跟着家人去了Rich(里奇)叔叔的农场过暑假。Rich叔叔带Maria去见了一匹野马，Maria非常喜欢这匹马，提出要照顾它。当Maria得知野马遭到人们捕杀，她会有何反应？Maria的心境发生了怎样的变化？ [精彩范文] Hearing this, Maria felt her stomach turn. “That's terrible! Some actions should be taken to protect them，” Maria said. “It's better now，” said Uncle Rich. “The government came to the rescue. Their number is increasing.” Hearing this, Maria breathed a sigh of relief. In a blink of an eye, she raced to her room, dropped her bag and got changed. Maria hurried back to the barn in a flash. The mustang walked over to her slowly and stopped in front of her. Maria put her hand on his forehead. The mustang gently shook his head and wagged its tail. At that very moment, Maria was determined to help the black beauty back to the wild. Moreover, she was sure she would have an unforgettable vacation here. 23 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$第一节听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题，每段对话仅读一遍。Text one.
