Uninterested 高一英语期中考试 第5页共12页 C Grace Hemingway gifted her son, Earnest, a copy of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's epic poem Hiowatha on his sixth birthday, While it's hard to say how much her choice of gift influenced Earnes Hemingway at the time, he grew up to become one of the most famous writers in history. Books can make for charming gifts. Giving a book as a gift to someone is. much more than a simple exchange of goods When giving books, think about your recipients'(接受者) favorite. It is worth: the time to try and find a rare copy, like first editions or signed copies. Theyll be delighted by the effort. Are your friends stuck in a dullness and in need of some motivation? You, can gift them a book that offers inspiration.Also,not mainstream yet useful guides related: to their career are helpful A book when received as a gift has meaning to the recipient by itself if you've put some thought into it. An inscription (题 词) adds tothe appeal of your. gift by making it more individualized Without an inscription,although still meaningful, the book is just a book indistinguishable from hundreds of thousands of copies out there. A case for not penning down an inscription is that it makes it easier for them to pass it on to someone else if they don'f like the book Wondering if you should give your recipient a hardcover or a paperback? There is no universal preference among readers. Some like the paperbacks because of the convenience, easy to carry around and travel with. But many people, including me, prefer hardcovers because theyre more traditiona and last much longer.

The weight of a book determines its price C. A hardcover book is often valued more as a gift D. The price of wine depends on the quality of its bottle D Scientists say only enlarging the world's nature reserve to help proteet plants and animals may be useless. The main reason is that levels of human activity are rising in and around the nature reserves In fact, recognising spaces as protected areas is not reducing human activity there The researchers found that a lack of money to pay for land conservation(保护) is affecting conservation efforts. And it is a lack of communication between people who live in protected natural area and outsiders. About 17 percent of the world.is within protected areas, including the national parks, nature reserves and wilderness areas: Protected areas are important for supporting environments with many different kinds of plants and animals The researchers again found increasing human activity in most protected areas in every country However, they: said that human activity appearedto: be more of a problem in nations with fewer roads and lower life standards on the Human Development Index(指数). The index uses information about life length, education and earnings to grade countries on human development Across the northern Australia, protected areas often proved effective at slowing human activity when compared with unprotected areas. But in South America, Southeast Asia and African countries pressure from human activity inside protected areas was higher. Experts say governments need to provide fund(资金) support to help protected areas. Simply recognising a place as a protected area can't be the beginning and the end of a conservation effort Working with local people to take efforts is also important. If they're not partners in the protected areas, then wildlife conservation is much more difficult 32. What are protected areas mainly affected by according to the textf 高一英语期中考试 第7页共12页 A. Human activity. B. Climate change C. Population growth. D. Environmental pollution 33. What's the Human Development Index used to do? A. Record more roads in the world B.

Enlarge protected areas B. Offer extra money and work with locals.(当地人) C. Attract more people to travel there D. Allow local people to farm there 35.What can be the best title for the text? A. People May Cause Harm to Plants and Animals B. Local People Should Focus on the Natural Environment C. Nature Reserves in the World Should Be Increased D. Nature Reserves May Not Protect Wildlife Safely 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。 Urban Wildlife Cities are diverse ecosystems. In addition to visitors from the wild, a large number of species share our urban areas. As our cities spread, we need to think about what if is like for other species to have human neighbours Cities are built for humans. 36 For example, most city parks are kept neat and tidy so that:humans will find them beautiful. But when we cut grass.or plant flowers, we destroy natural habitats. 37 When a bridge in Austin, Taxas was repaired, engineers added small gaps running along the length of its bottom. This made a good home for bats, and. soon the bridge was the home of thousands of bats. 38 Now, they have come to value their winged neighbours. The bats are a tourist attraction.and they eat lots of bugs every night There are also structures built with the aim of bringing wildlife into the city. The Beijing Olympic Forest Park is a good example. The park used native plants and created open, natural spaces for wildlife. The result is a zone in Beijing with over 160 species of birds. In many ways, the park is the opposite ofa zoo. 39 高一英语期中考试 第8页共12页 If we learn to share our space, we can become better neighbours to the wildlife around us. 40 Our own future will be endangered too.
