Ⅴ. 阅读理解

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。

A

Pierre is a 25-year-old penguin at the California Academy of Sciences. Due to his old age, he was going bald, which made him feel too cold to swim in the pool. Therefore, biologists at the academy had a wet suit created for this penguin to help him get back in the swimming pool.

Unlike marine mammals, which have a layer of blubber to keep them warm, penguins depend on their waterproof feathers. Without them, Pierre was unwilling to jump into the swimming pool and ended up trembling on the side of the pool while his 19 peers played in the water.

“He was cold; he would shake,” said Pam Schaller, a senior biologist. Schaller first tried a heat lamp to keep Pierre warm. Then she got another idea: if wet suits keep humans warm in the cold Pacific, why not make one for Pierre?

Schaller designed the suit, which covered Pierre s body and had small openings for his flippers.

“I would walk behind him and look at where there were any gaps, and cut and refit and cut and refit until it looked like it was extremely suitable,” she said.

One concern was that the other penguins would reject Pierre in his new suit, but in fact, they accepted his new look. He swam freely and got along with others well, although he was the only penguin with a black stomach.

Schaller couldn’t say for sure whether the wet suit allowed Pierre to recover his fine feathers, but “certainly we were able to keep him comfortable during a period of time that would have been very difficult for him to stay comfortable”.

Pierre will take off his suit after his new feathers grow back.

B. if anywhere of wet suit needed to be cut and refit

C. if the wet suit kept warm

D. whether the wet suit would keep the feathers from recovering

4. What does the underlined word in the second paragraph mean?

A. feeling scared.

B. staying alone.

C. shaking with cold.

D. keeping warm.

5. The BEST title of the passage is .

A. Wet suit for An Old Penguin

B

The African elephant, the largest land animal remaining on the earth, is of great importance to African ecosystem(生态系统). Unlike other animals, the African elephant is to a great extent the builder of its environment. As a big plant-eater, it largely shapes the forest-and-savanna(大草原) surroundings in which it lives, therefore setting the terms of existence for millions of other animals that live in its habitat.

It is the elephant’s great desire for food that makes it a disturber of the environment and an important builder of its habitat. In its continuous search for the 300 pounds of plants it must have every day, it kills small trees and underbushes, and pulls branches off big trees. This results in numerous open spaces in both deep tropical forests and in the woodlands that cover part of the African savannas(热带草原). In these open spaces are numerous plants in various stages of growth that attract a variety of other plant-eaters.

Take the rain forests for example. In their natural state, the spreading branches overhead shut out sunlight and prevent the growth of plants on the forest floor. By pulling down trees and eating plants, elephants make open spaces, allowing new plants to grow on the forest floor. In such situations, the forests become suitable for large hoofed plant-eaters to move around and for small plant-eaters to get their food as well.

What worries scientists now is that the African elephant has become an endangered species. If the elephant disappears, scientists say, many other animals will also disappear from vast areas of forest and savanna, greatly changing and worsening the whole ecosystem.

6. What is the passage mainly about?

A. Disappearance of African elephants.

B. Forests and savannas as habitats for African elephants.

C. The effect of African elephants’ search for food.

D. The eating habit of African elephants.

7. What does the underlined phrase “setting the terms” most probably mean?

A. Fixing the time.

B. Worsening the state.

C. Improving the quality.

D. Deciding the conditions.

8. What do we know about the open spaces in the passage?

A. They result from the destruction of rain forests.

B. They provide food mainly for African elephants.

C. They are home to many endangered animals.

D. They are attractive to plant-eating animals of different kinds.

9. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. The African elephant is the largest animal on the earth.

B. African elephants have 300 pounds of plants every day, including small trees and underbushes.

C. The African elephant is in a way the builder of the environment like other land animals.

D. If the African elephant disappears, the whole ecosystem won’t be affected.

10. The passage is developed mainly by .

A. showing the effect and then explaining the causes

B. pointing out similarities and differences

C. describing the changes in space order

D. giving examples

Sheri Poe

Ryka Inc.

Since I started this company in my kitchen seven years ago, I always dreamt of what it would be some day. Focusing on that goal helps me get through tough times. To get the kind of success that you want, you need to dream big. That’s the starting point. Every success story begins with big dreams. You need to have big dreams for yourself, like being somebody rich, famous or fulfilled. You need to have a clear goal of what you want to achieve.Also, I think it’s really important that the people you re working with are as committed to the same goal as you are, so you can support each other and keep each other energetic.

Anita Roddick

The Body Shop Inc.

In America, we have a shop in Harlem where 50 percent of the profits go into the community development and the other 50 percent go toward the funding of a a similar shop elsewhere in the United States. The pride that shop brings to the staff and local people inspired me.

What The Body Shop does successfully is use our facilities in the street and shopping centers to talk about real human issues like AIDS, recycling, human rights and community service or to encourage people to speak out against anything they consider to be unjust. Knowing our products are symbols of social change is really encouraging.

Ben Cohen

Ben & Jerry’s Homemade Inc.

I’m energized by the people I work with. I’m very relation ship-driven, which a think is different from most entrepreneurs. I’m inspired by doing things that are not normal and that most people think don’t fit into the business world or don’

t make any sense.

In business, you are judged by the company you keep-from your management team, board of directors, and strategic partners. Maybe the lady you met in a trade association meeting can help you secure funding, or the gentleman at a conference can provide you with management advice.

Richard Melman

Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises

A number of years ago, I was interviewed by someone who was writing a book on enterprises. He asked me, “What’s the opposite of work?” I answered, “Lazy.”He started laughing and said, “Believe it or not, a lot of entrepreneurs say the same thing.”

The average person thinks the opposite of work is play, but to an entrepreneur, work is play. I think it all adds up to having fun. It’s fun to create; it’s fun to entertain, and it’s fun to make people happy with our service. When it stops being fun, I’ll stop doing it.

Frank Toskan

Make-Up Art Cosmetics (M.A.C.)

One of the nicest things anyone ever said to me was, “I hate makeup, but I love M. A. C.”That’s what moves me on. Even people who don’t wear makeup can appreciate our company, what it stands for its values, and the way we do business.

We work from an inverted pyramid, where the customers are always at the top. Our customers inspire me and keep me going. They and our staff, not money, make me enthusiastic. If I had stayed in this business just for the money, I would have closed down years ago.

You can’t be everything to everybody. Each of us has our own strengths and weaknesses, To be effective, you need to identify your strengths and concentrate on them. You’ll become more successful if you are able to channel your efforts to areas that you do best. In business, for example, if you know you are good at marketing, then give it full play. Seek help or assistance in areas that you may be poor at, such as accounting or bookkeeping. To turn your weakness into strength, consider taking hands-on learning or training.

One of the political issues that is heard a lot about in the States lately is campaign（竞选）finance reform（改革）. The people who are 1 for reform usually want the 2 to pay for campaigns and/or limit the amount of money that candidates （候选人）and their 3 can spend.

One reason that reform is called for is that it costs so much to 4 for political office. Candidates have to spend a great deal of time and effort 5 money. The incumbents (those already in office) have less time to do chief jobs since they must 6 so many money raising events.

Another 7 is the fear that candidates will be owned or 8 by the “special interest groups” that give money to their campaigns. Sometimes this certainly seems to be the 9 .

On the 10 side are those who say that it doesn’t mean it’s really 11 just

If one person or a group of people want to tell the 13 what they think about an issue or candidate, they have to buy 14 on TV, radio, and in newspapers and magazines. They might want to put up advertisements along highways and on websites. All this costs a lot of 15 .

Those against laws that control or limit spending say that you don’t really have freedom of 16 or freedom of the press if you can’t get your message out. They say the government should never be able to control 17 discussions. They believe that this is most important when the voters are about to make 18 .

What do you think about this 19 ? Listen to what the candidates for national office have to say. Which candidates 20 the most sense to you?

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。

Science Daily(Apr. 27, 2008)—Dutch ecologist Roxina Soler and her colleagues have discovered that subterranean (地下的) and aboveground herbivorous (食草的) insects can communicate with each other by using plants as telephones. Subterranean insects issue chemical warning signals through the leaves of the plant. This way, aboveground insects are warned that the plant is already “occupied”.

Aboveground, leaf-eating insects prefer plants that have not yet been occupied by subterranean root-eating insects. Subterranean insects send out chemical signals through the leaves of the plant, which warn the aboveground insects about their

presence. This messaging makes it possible for spatially separated insects to avoid each other, so that they do not compete for the same plant.

In recent years it has been discovered that different types of aboveground insects develop slowly if they feed on plants that also have subterranean insects and vice versa (反之亦然). It seems that a mechanism (机制) has developed through natural selection, which helps the subterranean and aboveground insects to communicate with each other. This avoids unnecessary competition.

Through the “green telephone lines”, subterranean insects can also communicate with a third party, namely the natural enemy of caterpillars (毛虫). Parasitic wasps (寄生蜂) lay their eggs inside aboveground insects. The wasps also benefit from the signals sent by the leaves, as these help them find more insects for their eggs.

The communication between subterranean and aboveground insects has only been studied in a few systems. It is still not clear how widespread this phenomenon is, say the researchers.

1. How do subterranean and aboveground insects communicate with each other?

A. By sending signals through the leaves.

B. By giving off particular smells.

2. After finding a plant occupied by root-eating insects, aboveground insects will usually .

A. send out warning signals

B. compete for the same plant

C. choose to leave the plant

D. fight with the root-eating insects

3. Aboveground insects will develop more quickly if their food plants .

A. are often visited by parasitic wasps

B. are not occupied by root-eating insects

C. have more green leaves

D. have more subterranean insects

4. What does the underlined part “a third party” in paragraph 4 include?

A. Aboveground insects.

B. Root-eating insects.

C. Caterpillars.

D. Parasitic wasps.

5. What would be the BEST title for the passage?

A. Communication between different insects.

B. How do animals avoid competition?

C. Insects use plants as telephones.

D. When plants have subterranean residents.

Ⅴ. 阅读理解

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。

One summer my friend and I decided to go to Italy for a holiday and we decided to travel there without going through a travel agency. You know, you would be submerged (淹没) in crowds of tourists and lose lots of opportunities to get familiar with the country more closely. We started to think over our trip and managed to come up with a free tour of Italy.

The trip was not very long but it was still very impressive. We look forward to going there again! Of course, we spent lots of time arranging the trip, but it was well worth it! Of course I was afraid that something would go wrong and I was especially anxious about my visa, but everything went quite smoothly in the end.

The most difficult part was getting a visa without an invitation. In the Italian consulate(领事馆), one must hand in some official paper proving that one has a hotel booked for oneself in order to get the visa. Then we had to solve the ticket problem. Airlines often sell cheap tickets and we bought ours far in advance. The next step

was to book a hotel. We finally booked a hotel about 30 km away from the heart of Rome and it was the perfect choice for our trip.

Every day we took a train that carried us to the heart of Rome. Our big house, which was surrounded by the forest, was a rare girl for the fresh air and absolute silence, beautiful views, hospitable (好客的) hosts, comfortable living conditions delighted us to no end. Besides this, we were very lucky that our mistress was Russian. She gave us a lot of advice that was of great use. She told us what transport to choose and where the best places to go.

Don’t be afraid to arrange your trip by yourself. It’s not difficult! The only thing I’ll say right now is that we really enjoyed travelling by ourselves. We walked with a map and a guide book to wherever we wanted and we even met some of our fellow countrymen on the way just two or three times. So, if you’re also planning a “single”trip, don’t forget to take a Russian-Italian phrase book as people in Italy prefer to speak in their native tongue.

1. Why does the author want to go to Italy again?

A. He had a great time there.

B. Italy has a lot of attractions.

C. His friend invited him there.

D. He didn’t stay in Italy long enough.

2. What does the author think was the hardest in preparing for his Italian trip?

A. Buying cheap airline tickets to Italy before the travelling.

B. Getting a visa without an invitation from the Italian consulate.

C. Booking a comfortable hotel on his own in Rome.

D. Solving the ticket problem far in advance.

3. In the fourth paragraph the author mainly explains .

A. the reason why he chose to live in the center of Rome

B. the reason why the hotel he booked was the right choice

C. what transport they chose to travel in their Italian trip

D. the reason why the mistress gave them some advice

4. Which of the following questions has NOT been answered in the passage?

A. Why did the author decide to go to Italy for a holiday for the first time?

B. Why did the author decide not to follow a travel agency?

C. How did the author prepare for his trip?

D. What tools did the author use for his traveling?
