Scientists have discovered that the source is a strain of a cold-loving fungus usually found in polar regions. They are not sure how the fungus kills bats.One theory is that the fungus causes discomfort.The bats began to become upset and partially wake up from hibernation.This activity causes them to burn precious stored body fat and die of starvation.Experts estimate that over 5.5 million bats across nine species have disappeared because of the disease.Wildlife experts fear that if the infection spreads to more bat populations in the Southeast and Midwest, endangered bat species,such as the Indiana bat and Virginia big-eared bat,may be in grave danger of extinction. Why should Americans care about the loss of these creatures?In warm months,bat fly at night,eating up to their body weight in insects.They control the populations of insects that bite,eat crops,destroy forests,and spread disease.Because of this,the United States government is getting involved.It has heard announcements from bat experts and is taking seriously their pleas (for funding to study the disease.The possibility of what one lawmaker called"an ecological and economic disaster"is very real if the deadly disease spreads further. 28.What causes white-nose syndrome among the bats? A.Ecological pollution. B.A cold-loving fungus. C.The freezing climate. D.The lack of food. 29.What is the main idea of paragraph 2? A.Where the experts discovered the disease.

D.What contributed to the concern of the experts. 30.What is the main concern about the extinction of the bat in the US? A.The imbalance of the ecosystem. B.The destruction of the forests C.The spread of the disease. D.The decrease of the insect population. 31.What is the US government most likely to do in the future? A.To introduce laws to protect bats. B.To appeal to people to stay away from infected bats. C.To declare the coming of an ecological disaster D.To approve funding for bat disease research. D The Beijing Municipal Commission of Transport announced that the capital will build 20 cycle tracks connecting popular tourist sites and another 20 linking the countryside.Also,all roads that are wider than 12 meters must have cycle lanes(车道). It is good of the city's transport department to care for cyclists.Cycling is,without doubt,one of the greenest ways of traveling.It uses no gas,so there are no carbon emissions(),and it also helps the cyclists become strong and reduce fat. That's why,in this age of automobiles,bicycles have suddenly become a popular means of transport.Today people ride cycles not for shortage of other means of transport,but for their own health.Data show that over 100 million people ride bicycles as a kind of sport. However,to encourage more people to choose this green means of transport,good bicycle lanes are a necessity. Anybody with any cycling experience must have come across the following problems at some point of time;that there might be no cycle lanes beyond a certain point,or that the signs for cyclists might become unclear;worst of all,there might be whole rows of cars parked on the bicycle lanes or cyclists might have to compete with cars on the same lane. The law prevents parking on bicycle lanes,but some car owners couldn't care less.The law gives cyclists right of passage over automobile drivers,but that is often forgotten.With automobiles pushing cyclists to one side of the road,cycling often loses its attraction.Sometimes people prefer cycling on exercise bikes indoors than on the roads. To make cycling a pleasurable experience,the governments need to do their jobs better.Apart from designing new bicycle lanes,they should also take effective actions to protect the rights of cyclists and make the sport more. enjoyable. 32.Which advantage of cycling is not mentioned in this passage? A.Cycling can help lose weight. B.Cycling is environment-friendly. C.Cycling can help build up bodies. D.Cycling can reduce heavy traffic. 33.Why are good bicycle lanes necessary? A.To call on more people to ride bikes. B.To prevent parking on bicycle lanes. C.To compete with cars on the same lane. D.To encourage people to cycle on exercise bikes. 第35页，共38页 34.What is the author's attitude to building cycle tracks in Beijing? C.Uncaring D.Unclear. A.Doubtful. B.Supportive. 35.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A.Cycling,new workout trend B.No more parking on bicycle lanes C.Here come the cyclists,make room D.Cycle tracks to be widened in Beijing 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。 Most of us are familiar with carrots.36They are a cool-season crop that can tolerate low temperatures. 37Firstly we should ensure that the soil used for deep-rooted types is free of stones.Mix the soil with organic matter,especially during the fall season before sowing. Then we should choose a variety of carrots after the soil is prepared.38The early ones are usually small,slender and are eaten while they are young;the main crop types are larger and are eaten fresh or stored. Early types should be sown in spring as soon as the soil is workable.They may also be sown under covers, though the covers should be removed after a few weeks.39Carrot seeds can be sown about 1/2 inch deep. Early carrots should be thinned to 3 inches apart;main crop carrots should be thinned to 1.5 inches. Weeds should be removed regularly once the carrots have germinated.Watering is needed every two to three weeks.Watch out for pests and diseases.40Protect against carrot rust flies by surrounding the patch of young carrots with a protective barrier 2 to 3 feet high.Use either fine netting or plastic as barriers. Early carrots can be harvested about seven to nine weeks after sowing and main crop carrots should be harvested after ten to eleven weeks. A.There are many varieties. B.They are good to people's eyes C.After about a week,the seeds come out. D.They are a long-pointed orange root vegetable. E.Carrots are grown in an open site in fertile soil.
