More than two thirds of the world's polar bears will be wiped out by 2050, according to a shocking new study.By then, scientists say, global warming will have melted 42 percent of the Arctic sea ice.By 2100, only a very few of these important creatures will be left.
The report has been produced by the US Geological Survey.The scientists have publicized their findings in the hope of influencing US Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne, who has been asked to put polar bears on the US endangered species list.
Polar bears depend on floating sea ice as a platform for hunting seals, which are their main food.Without enough ice, polar bears would be forced to go onto the land, where they are poorly skilled hunters, and would be unlikely to adapt to the life on the land in time.Experts say few little bears would survive and the stress could make many females unable to get pregnant.
The team of American and Canadian scientists spent six months studying bears, on the ground, from spotter planes and in the lab, using computer models.Some team members fear the result is even worse for the bears than what their report says.They say the Arctic is warming faster than anywhere in the world and much faster than their computer had been forecasting.Satellite observations have showed that the ice has decreased to an all time low.
However, not everyone in the scientific community believes that global warming is happening on such an alarming scale.Another investigation has found that polar bears are still being hunted by wealthy “sportsmen” who want their skins and heads.At least ten international companies offer bear hunting trips.
【语篇解读】 这是一篇说明文。本文说的是由于全球变暖,北极熊有可能在这个世纪末就要灭绝了。

A.He is an animal scientist.
B.He is a protector of animals working for the US government.
C.He was asked to put polar bears on the US endangered species list.
D.He offered to put polar bears on the endangered species list.
【解析】 C 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句中的“...US Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne,who has been asked to put polar bears on the US endangered species list.”可知, Dirk Kempthorne被要求把北极熊列入美国濒危物种名单,故选C。
2.Why will polar bears die out if there is not enough sea ice?
A.Because polar bears can't catch enough food without ice.
B.Because polar bears eat ice when they feel thirsty.
C.Because polar bears will be easily found by hunters without ice.
D.Because most female bears are used to giving birth under ice.
【解析】 A 推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“Polar bears depend on floating sea ice as a platform for hunting seals,which are their main food.”可知,如果没有足够的海冰北极熊会濒危灭绝是因为北极熊没有冰就失去了猎捕海豹的平台,就抓不到足够的食物,故选A。
3.What is this passage mainly about?
A.Global warming makes the whole world different.
B.Human beings are responsible for the endangered species.
C.Most of the polar bears will be wiped out by the end of this century.
D.Scientists have found that most animals in the Arctic will die out by the end of this century.

Lemurs (狐猴) are cute animals that live on the island of Madagascar, the fourth-largest island in the world.Lemurs have big eyes, long noses, and long tails (except for the Indri) and live high in the trees of Madagascan forests.Lemurs are quite intelligent.They are the cousins of monkeys and look quite similar to monkeys.They also swing through trees and live in family groups.
There are different species of lemurs.Some lemurs (the Indri) sing like a whale, and some (the Sifaka) walk like a ballet dancer.Some lemurs are very small, like the Pygmy Mouse Lemur which weighs only 25-30 grams.Others, like the Indri, can weigh up to ten kilograms.Some lemurs are nocturnal, being awake at night and sleeping during the day, and some are not nocturnal but diurnal.Generally, the smaller lemurs are nocturnal, while the bigger ones are diurnal.All the species are unique to Madagascar.
However, all of the lemurs are endangered species.Many species have already disappeared in the last few centuries.There are not many lemurs left.People in Madagascar have been destroying the forests where lemurs live.Local people also hunt lemurs for food.Some of the local people see lemurs as bringers of bad luck, so they kill lemurs.
At the moment, there are about 85 lemur species left.But many people fear that the number of species will fall sharply.Soon there may be no lemurs left if we do not take measures to protect them.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文,介绍了马达加斯加岛上的狐猴。
4. What are lemurs like a lot?

7. What's the best title of the text?
A.Save Madagascar's Forest
B.A Good Pet Lemur
C.People's Friends
D.Lemurs of Madagascar

Starbucks says it uses one billion plastic straws(吸管) every year, but it plans to stop the use of plastic straws in each of its 28, 000 stores across the globe.Starbucks' announcement comes just a week after Seattle, the city where the first Starbucks opened, forbade plastic straws.
In order to replace the straws, Starbucks has developed a new lid(盖子) for some of its drinks like iced coffee and tea.Actually, the lid has a raised lip.Some people have compared the new lids to “adult sippy cups”, CNN Business reported.
Starbucks is always saying it is a company that cares much about the environment.In recent years, awareness about the effect that plastic is having on the environment—in particular, the ocean—has caused scientists to sound the alarm about a need to curb the use of plastics.
“What we realize is that these billions of little things in the ocean, such as one man's toothbrush, one lady's comb, all can cause the problem,” Emily Penn said.She is the co-founder of an expedition(探险队).“But what makes us happy is that we can solve it well through our daily actions.We need billions of small actions—just little daily things to reduce the pollution.”
Customers who still want to enjoy a Starbucks drink with a straw will be able to request one, but it won't be plastic.Instead, they will be given a straw made from paper or other eco-friendly materials.
In May, McDonald' s said it would experience a change from the use of plastic to paper straws in Ireland and the United Kingdom.The announcement from Starbucks could be a sign that more large chain restaurants will accept this kind of activity.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述了星巴克公司为了减少海洋污染,计划停止使用塑料吸管,并从西雅图地区开始执行。
8.How does Starbucks serve customers without using plastic straws?

C.By using spoons to replace straws.
D.By providing a new kind of cups.
【解析】 D 细节理解题。根据第二段可知,星巴克设计了一种新的杯子,它的杯盖上有特殊的吸口,可替代原来的吸管。
9.What does the underlined word “curb” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Stop. B.Notice.
C.Control. D.Report.
【解析】 C 词义猜测题。根据第三段中的 In recent years, awareness about the effect that plastic is having on the environment—in particular, the ocean—has caused scientists to sound the alarm可知,塑料给环境造成了很大的影响,所以可推测,此处意为“控制塑料的使用”。
10.According to Emily Penn, what can be the main cause of sea pollution?
A.Plastic alarms.
B.Some special lids.
C.Paper straws in the ocean.
D.Small things thrown into the sea.
【解析】 D 细节理解题。根据第四段的第一句可知,Emily Penn认为是一些日常生活中人们使用的小东西大量进入海洋造成了污染。
11.What might be the best title for the passage?
A.Starbucks Will Stop Using Plastic Straws
B.Starbucks Is Trying to Reduce Sea Pollution
C.Starbucks Will Invent a New Kind of Straws
D.Starbucks Is Trying to Attract More Customers
【解析】 A 标题归纳题。本文主要是讲星巴克为了减少海洋污染,将停止使用塑料吸管。

Animals are natural resources that people have wasted all through our history.
Animals have been killed for their fur and feathers, for food, for sport, and simply because they were in the way.Thousands of kinds of animals have disappeared from the earth forever.Hundreds more are on the danger list today.About 170 kinds in the United States alone are considered in danger.
Why should people care? Because we need animals.And because once they are gone, there will never be any more.
Animals are more than beautiful or interesting or a source of food.Every animal has its place in the balance of nature.Destroying one kind of animal can create many problems.
For example, when farmers killed large numbers of hawks(鹰), the farmers' stores of corn and grain were destroyed by mice.Why?Because hawks eat mice.With no hawks to keep down their numbers, the mice multiplied quickly.
Luckily, some people are working to help save the animals.Some groups raise money to let people know about the problem.And they try to get the governments to pass laws protecting animals in danger.
Quite a few countries have passed laws.These laws forbid the killing of any animal or plant on the danger list.Slowly, the number of some animals in danger is growing.
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇关于动物保护的说明文。目前,世界范围内动物的数量正在不断下降,保护动物刻不容缓。保护动物不仅是为动物,也是为我们人类自己的生存考虑。幸运的是,现在有的国家已经开始行动,例如成立保护组织或制定法律等对动物进行有效的保护。
12.What is the best title for the passage?
A.Save the Animals
B.Useful Animals
C.Laws for Animals
D.Animals in Danger
【解析】 A 标题归纳题。文章提到动物面临的生存现状、保护动物的必要性以及目前一些国家对野生动物所采取的保护性措施等都体现了保护动物的主题,故文章标题应是“保护动物”。
13.Animals are important to us mainly because ________.
A.they give us a source of food
B.they are beautiful and lovely
C.they keep the balance of nature
D.they give us a lot of pleasure
【解析】 C 细节理解题。根据第四段中的Animals are more than...in the balance of nature.可知,每一种动物的存在都是有道理的,都是为了维持自然界的平衡。
14.What is the meaning of the underlined word “multiplied”in the passage?
A.Became more. B.Became less.
C.Turned black. D.Ate food.
【解析】 A 词义猜测题。由画线词所在的段落可以看出,当鹰的数量因人类的捕杀而减少时,粮食受老鼠的毁坏会加重。没有鹰对老鼠的捕杀,老鼠的数量自然是增长很快,即“变得更多”。
15.We can infer from the passage that _____.
A.people have known the importance of animal protection since a long time ago
B.animals play an important role in people's life
C.the number of hawks is on the decrease
D.many countries passed laws forbidding the killing of any animal
【解析】 B 推理判断题。根据第一段和第四段的描述可知,此前人们对于动物的保护并不关注,当然也并未意识到保护动物的重要性,故可排除A项。通过对文章第四段的理解可知动物在人们的生活中起着重要作用,故B项正确。文中提到鹰的数量由于人类的捕杀而减少,但并非现在的情况,故可排除C项。D项中提到许多国家制定了法律来禁止对一切动物的捕杀,忽略了文中on the danger list这个说法,故该项是不对的。

【语篇解读 】 本文介绍了世界上短距离跑得最快的动物——猎豹,包括它的捕食方式等,同时告诉我们猎豹面临灭绝的危险。
36.【解析】 silently 考查副词。句意:猎豹,一个专业的猎手,静静地坐在山顶上,扫视着数群正在进食的动物,寻找完美的猎物。本空修饰动词sits,故应用副词silently“静静地”。
37.【解析】 to know 考查不定式。句意:一找到目标,它会静静地在草丛中移动,直到它离目标足够近,近到可以知道自己能得到回报。enough to do sth.意为“足够做某事”,故本空应用不定式。
38.【解析】 being seen 考查固定结构及动词的语态。句意:它的颜色有助于它在周围环境融中消失,以避免被看到。avoid doing sth.避免做某事。it (the cheetah)与see为被动关系,故填being seen。
39.【解析】 allows 考查时态及主谓一致。句意:它在短距离内的速度是动物世界中最快的,这使得它可以追逐自己的目标。根据前后文可知,本句应用一般现在时;本句主语为its speed,故本空动词应用一般现在时的第三人称单数形式。
40.【解析】 pulling 考查非谓语动词。句意:一旦猎物被杀死,猎豹就会把尸体拖到安全的地方,甚至会把尸体拖到树上,以防止其他捕食性动物偷走它。本句主语the cheetah和动词pull之间为逻辑上的主动关系,故应用现在分词作状语。
41.【解析】 it 考查代词。根据句意可知,本空应用代词it指代前面提到的the carcass。
42.【解析】 endangered 考查形容词。句意:然而,猎豹也是一种非常濒危的动物。本空修饰名词animal,故应用形容词endangered“濒临灭绝的”。
43.【解析】 extinction 考查名词。句意:曾经发现猎豹遍布亚洲和非洲,如今正濒临灭绝。本空在介词toward后,故应用名词extinction“灭绝”。
44.【解析】 In 考查固定短语。句意:此外,保护团体鼓励当地农民保护进入他们土地的猎豹。in addition意为“另外,此外”,故本空应填介词In。
45.【解析】 that/which 考查定语从句。本空引导定语从句,修饰 cheetahs,在从句中作主语,故填that或which。

Jim slumped(重重地坐下)on the couch.Mother's Day was coming up, but he didn't have a present.“How can I buy a present without any money?” he thought.
Jim picked up the newspaper that was lying on the couch.He noticed a large advertisement on the front page.The local department store was sponsoring a contest(比赛).“Tell us why your mom is special and win a shopping spree(疯狂购物)for her,” said the advertisement.
“This is perfect!” thought Jim, He ran to his room with the newspaper.Taking a pencil and a blank piece of paper from his desk, he started to write.
“My mom is the best mother in the world.She always makes lunch for me to take to school, and she never forgets my dessert.She reads as many books to me before bed as I want.She always remembers to check under the bed for monsters.And she gives me the best hug, but never in front of my friends, who would laugh at me for hugging my mom.”
Jim liked what he had written.He copied it neatly and got an envelope and a stamp from his bed.He ran to the mailbox with his entry(参赛作品).“Mom will love having a shopping spree,” he thought.
Jim checked the mailbox every day for his prize.Days went by, and then weeks.Soon it was the day before Mother's Day.Jim still hadn't heard anything about the contest.
“What am I going to do now?” he wondered.He didn't have a present, and he didn't have a shopping spree.And he still didn't have money.
He had to think of something.Jim closed his eyes and curled his toes and thought hard.
