B Do dragons exist today?Although often mistaking dragons for a mythical(creature,we actually live among several different types of "dragons."For example,you may have seen dragonflies flying over a summer garden or read about a Komodo dragon lizard.The ocean has its share of dragons,too. The blue dragon is a marine()snail without a shell.It is commonly known as a blue sea slug().This particular species of marine snail can swallow a bubble of air (which it holds in its stomach)that enables it to float upside down on the surface of the ocean.The underside of the slug is blue,and its back is a gray color.This helps to conceal it from birds flying overhead and from fish swimming below. Blue dragons feed on poisonous jellyfish and other similar species.When food is in short supply, they will eat each other.They collect toxins()from the jellyfish and store them in many finger-like structures.This ability to store poison gives them a much stronger sting()than the jellyfish itself.They use this poison as a defense against enemies.The sting can also be felt by people. These creatures are rarely visible for study and observation except when they come close to the land during times of onshore winds.They have been seen in Hawaii and in tropical()waters 英语试题第4页（共12页） around the world.Beware()of the blue dragon's sting! 19.What does the underlined word"conceal"in the second paragraph mean? A.Hide B.Notice. C.Prevent D.Discover. 20.How does the coloring of the blue sea slug provide protection? A.Its gray coloring makes it look the same as ocean waves. B.It floats right side up so the blue faces down in the water. C.It gives off blue poison into the water to protect it from enemies. D.Its blue underside and its gray back keep it from being seen from outside. 21.What's the blue dragon's main defense against enemies? A.It feeds on poisonous jellyfish 的 B.It floats upside down in the water. C.It stores poison and stings enemies. D.It moves to coastal waters during times of onshore winds 22.Which of the following facts about the animal is true according to the passage? A.We can only see types of dragons"in oceans. B.A bubble of water in its stomach enables it to float upside down. C.The creatures are not commonly seen for study and observation. 製 D.The animal has the word"dragon"as part of its name because it is a mythical creature. ◇ I owe my father a huge thank-you!Sure,I need to thank him for all those years of paying my bills,fixing my bikes,and providing a shoulder to cry on.But this year I realized that his contributions to my childhood were much more than that. I grew up as Daddy's Little Girl.If I had a problem that needed fixing or a question that needed answering,he was the one I ran to.He helped me get through everything from math homework as a student to career choices as a young adult.He always expected me to do my best in whatever I did, and he believed I could succeed in anything I put my mind to.As a result,I learned to hold myself to those same standards.He always showed me unconditional love,which helped me learn to love myself.It was something I'd taken for granted until I realized from talking with my friends that they had no similar view of their self-worth.Having fathers that didn't believe in them left them to grow 签 up not believing in themselves. As I was growing up,my father also showed me how a woman should be lavished.He got along with my mom with love and respect.As a result,I grew to expect nothing less than that from the men I dated and from the man I would finally many.Dad was a living picture of godliness(), 英语试题第5页（共12页） honesty and responsibility.It was only recently that I realized what a deep influence fathers have on their daughters'lives.That is why I want to thank my dad for the example of love that he has been to me throughout my life 23.From the second paragraph,the writer thinks it is the most valuable that A.her father was very strict with her B.her father helped her a lot in every way C.nothing was difficult if her father was on her side D.her father's trust deeply influenced her self-confidence 24.The underlined word "lavished"in Paragraph 3 means A.loved B.calmed C.treated D.respected 25.Who would the writer turn to when in trouble? A.Her father.B.Her mother. C.Her husband. D.Her friends. 26.The feeling the writer wants to express to her father in this text is A.sad B.proud C.helpful D.grateful D Finding a California condor (in the wild would be the most unusual treat,perhaps even more unusual than finding a wolf in Yellowstone National Park.In fact,the wolf was what opened my eyes to the fact that humans could bring an animal back to the place where it had disappeared. In 1987,there were only 27 California condors left,none of which were in the wild,only in captive breeding programs(圈养繁殖项目).It was those breeding programs that contributed to their population rise enough that by 1991 some of them could be freed into the wild. Still,the hope of seeing a California condor,which remains an endangered species,is very low, let alone getting a photo of one.California condor population dropped mostly due to human factors, such as poaching and living areas destruction---these are challenges California condors still face today. Although this is just a bird's-eye view of the challenges California condors face and there are many others,it is part of why the opportunity to work with the US Fish and Wildlife Service team and their partners to help their recovery is so special to me as a photographer.I am not only able to photograph the birds in their wild living areas,but also understand and record how difficult the work is for those people on the front lines of the protection. I am grateful for the work of the team,and my hope is that California condor population will continue to rise,allowing future generations an opportunity I never had when I first got here---to look to the sky and see one flying around. 英语试题第6页（共12页） 27.What helped the increase of the California condor population in 1987? A.Rules for hunters B.Captive breeding programs. C.The improved natural environment. D.The enlargement of wild living areas. 28.What does the author say about taking photos of a California condor in the wild? A.It is difficult. B.It is easy. C.It is boring. D.It is dangerous 29.What did the author do when working with the US Fish and Wildlife Service team? A.He guided ways for them. B.He made records by photos. C.He helped the birds to recover. D.He rebuilt the birds'living areas. 30.What is the best title for the text? A.New Way,New Hope B.Wolves and California Condors. C.A Photo of a California Condor. D.The California Condor's Coming Back 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。 Used clothing that you no longer wear can be donated to charities.And clothing with broken zippers or missing buttons can be repaired and worn again.But what do you do when your favorite shirt is too torn to wear or your socks have too many holes? Every year in the UK,336,000 tons of unwanted old clothing and shoes are thrown out and sent to landfills(废物填埋场)，according to Recycle Now.31 So,instead of throwing away these old clothes,try one of these eco-friendly ways to give them a second chance One of the best ways to deal with unwanted clothing is to make it into something completely different.You can use pieces of old cloth as filling for pillows.32 Another very good way to reuse old textiles (made of cotton like T-shirts is to cut the clothing up and use it as cleaning cloths around your home.33 And they are greener than using microfiber cleaning towels that drop fibers when washed. Besides,animal shelters are always looking for used towels and blankets to keep animals warm 34 And while you are throwing away your textiles,remember that shelters could use donations of unopened pet food and things too. 35 Green Life is one of them.For a small fee,Green Life will ship you a bag that can be filled with up to 25 pounds of used clothing and sent to the company for reuse.When the bag is received,the sender receives a small amount of money to be used on the company's website. Everything Green Life sells is made of recycled fibers. A.You can bring your clothing to Green Life. 英语试题第7页（共12页） B.Or you can turn something you like into a doll. C.So you can donate your unwanted clothing to such places. D.Some clothing companies have their own recycling services E.The cleaning cloths can be washed and reused,unlike paper towels. F.Check to see whether certain items you are throwing out can be donated G.This leads to greenhouse gases and allows chemicals to get into the soil. 第三部分语言知识运用 第一节（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Dr.David Sullivan,.pediatric dentist(儿科牙医)，is just wild about teeth.So are some of his 36.Wild,that is.Really wild.
