ACool Cats-CheetahsCheetah cubs(babies)are cute,furry,energetic,and downright lovely.And when they get older,they’ll run fas ter than any other animal on the planet.Five cheetah cubs were born in the summer of 2005 at the National Zoo in Washington,D.C.Their mother,Zazi,was 4 years old.When the cubs were 10 weeks old,they weighed 9 pounds and were about the size of house cats.They were the second cheetah litter(一窝)to be born at the zoo in seven months and the second litter to be born in the zoo’s 116-year history.“They’re pretty quick,”Lauren Afdahl,an animal keeper at the zoo,told Senior Edition.“Whenever they see something m oving,they take off and run.And cheetahs do like to run!They can reach speeds as high as 60 miles per hour.The cubs reach their top speed when they are about a year old.The National Zoo’s first litter of cheetah cubs was born in November2004.When almos t a year old,those cubs weighed more than 30 pounds.Zazi’s cubs stay with her for at least a year.When they are fully grown,the cats may be sent to other zoos.Cheetahs are endangered animals.About 100 years ago,the wild cats roamed an area from North Africa to India.Today,cheetahs inhabit only the countries south of the Sahara desert.Just 12,000 to 15,000 now live in the wild.1.The writer’s attitude toward cheetahs seems to be .A.doubtful and afraidB.caring and admiringC.uncaringplaining答案：B2.The main idea of this passage is .A.cheetahs are interesting animalsB.when the cubs were 10 weeks old,they weighed 9 poundsC.female cheetahs can give birth only once a yearD.cheetahs like to run答案：A3.Based on the article,we can guess that the author is probably.A.afraid of cheetahsB.working at a zooC.a trained animal doctorD.in favor of protecting cheetahs答案：DBThousands of puffins(海鹦)live in Maine and on islands in the Gulf of Maine.But the puffins may be in dange st summer,the percentage of laid eggs that successfully produced baby puffins took a dive.Scientists also found a decline in the average body weight of the adult and baby puffins on Machias Seal Island,home to the area’s largest colony.Over the winter,dozens of the seabirds from the region were found dead,likely from starvation.What’s causing the puffin trouble?Scientists think it may be a shortage of food.With ocean temperatures rising,fish populations have movedaround.Normally,puffins’ primary food source is herri ng,a type of fish.A lack of herring in the area could be cau sing the problem.Butterfish from the south have become more abundant in the Gulf of Maine and could be a new food source for birds.But Steve Kress says butterfish may be too big and round for baby puffins to swallow.Puffins spend most of their lives at sea.They come ashore to breed each spring and return to the ocean in August.The chicks swim to the sea about 40 daysafter hatching.Puffin population stretches across the North Atlantic,from Maine to northern Russia.Maine’s puffin population has been at risk in the past.In the 1800s,they were hunted for their food,eggs and feathers.By 1901,only one pair of puffins remained in the state.Thanks to the help of local lighthouse keepers and seabird res toration programs,the state’s puffin population has been restored to more than 2,000 birds.Scientists aren’t sure what will happen to the Gulf of Maine’s puffins.The birds may move further north.Kress says he hopes the Gulf population will sustain itself and then he continues,“You never know what climate change will bring.Historically fish could move out and more southerly fish could movein,and puffins may adapt to the new fish.Only they know how the story will unfold.”4.The underlined phrase “took a dive” means .A.increasedB.aroseC.reducedD.changed答案：C5.In scientists’ opinion, is contributing to the puffin trouble.A.a lack of herringB.environmental pollutionC.the increase of birdsD.the huge size of butterfish答案：A6.It can be inferred from the passage that .A.Maine’s puffin once nearly became extinctB.Maine’s puffins’ eggs were of high pricesC.baby puffins grew up quicklyD.the number of Maine’s puffins is worrying答案：A7.Judging from Kress’s words in the last paragraph,we know .A.climate change matters littleB.there is cause for concernC.the new fish won’t harm puffinsD.puffins may move to the south答案：BCIf you are interested in animals,you probably hear about the tragedy at Seaworld Orlando.On February 24,Tillicum,a six-ton orca(虎鲸),was performing with histrainer,Dawn Brancheau,who stood on a platform by his pool.They had done the same show together many times before,without incidents.This time,though,events took a terrible turn.Without warning,Tillicum leaped from the water,took hold of Branchcheau by her hair,and dragged her deep below the water’ssurface.Before other trainers could react,Brancheau drowned.Although known as killer whales,orcas are the largest member of the dolphin family.They are easy to train,an d performances like Tillicum’s have been done safely thousands of times.Yet Dawn Brancheau’s death is a shocking reminder of what can happen when human beings act together with wild animals.People begin to ask,“Should orcas be kept in captivity(囚禁)?”YesWorldwide,only 42 orcas are being kept by humans.Scientists know very little about these huge sea animals,which are difficult to study in thewild.However,they do know that orcas are easily harmed by pollution.As our oceans become even more damaged by human activity,observing orcas up close helps us understand them and do a better job of protecting them in nature.“I think that some dangerous animals,such as killer whales,should be kept in captivity because it raises awareness about them and educates people about wild animals,” says Lauren,12,a 6-grader from Colorado.“Keeping some in captivity will help protect their species.”NoEnclosed habitats can be painful to wild animals,and make them act in unpredictable,even harmful ways.“It is wrong to keep these animals in captivity,”says Prathm,12.The 7th-grader from New Jersey,adds,“They should live in their own habitats,not be used as entertainment slaves.”RichardEllis,a marine conservationist in New York,agrees.“It is part of human nature to keep wild animals in small space and train them to do tricks,” hesays.“I’ m against it because I think it humiliates the animals.”8.Why does the author tell the tragedy of Dawn Brancheau?A.To introduce the topic.B.To express his sympathy.C.To describe the human-animal relationship.D.To warn people of the danger of keeping animals.答案：A9.What can we infer from the text?A.It is hard to train orcas.B.Orcas are rare sea animals.C.Orcas’ habitat is being destroyed.D.Many orcas are hunted each year.答案：C10.The underli ned word “humiliates” in the last paragraph most probably means “ ”.A.makes somebody less intelligentB.makes somebody feel ashamedC.makes somebody physically weakD.makes somebody feel threatened答案：B11.The text is mainly about.A.how to help animals live a better lifeB.how to develop friendship with animalsC.whether killer whales should be protectedD.whether animals should be kept in captivity答案：DDWhen nature lovers all over the world wish all humans to realize the importance of their natural surroundings,many Australians are turning caring for the environment into a way of life.Julie Astonis,an Australian housewife in Brisbane is one such example.Even though autumn is approaching Australia’s Brisbane in April,one can still watch colorful blooming(盛开的)flowers in Julie’s small garden,as she tells that in her community,“Each of us has a beautiful yard.The whole community,from children to elderly people,take care of the environment as if they are taking care of their own garden.”“Gardening is the most popular club in our community,” she says.“A lot of retired people don’t just regularly organize ga rdening lectures,but also personally visit families in the community to provide gardening training.So you can see that flowers continue to blo ssom in our gardens throughout the year.”Talking about her people’s sense of caring for the environment,Julie says when people in the community take along their dog,they always carry a garbage bag to deal with the dog’s waste.“In our community,you will ne ver experience the embarrassment of stepping on the dirty waste while you are walking on the grass,” says Julie with a smile.“Taking care of the dog’s waste can also help to develop children’s sense of responsibility!”As to protecting water resources,the Australian government has made strict rules for families.Julie says,“We certainly would not use tap water to waterthe flowers!” She says almost every family in her community has a huge tank used to store rainwater,which is later used as the resource of all outdoor water use,including car washing and watering the garden.This year,they also asked people to connect the water tank with their toilets.12.From the first three paragraphs we learn that .A.gardening is popular in most parts of AustraliaB.April is a great time for people to enjoy flowersC.Julie’s community has a deep sense of caring for natureD.it’s not easy to keep a garden without proper training答案：C13.Why can flowers be seen all year round in Julie’s community?A.Families are taught how to take care of their gardens.B.Gardening lessons are often gi ven by professors.C.The local government provides free gardening training.D.There is enough rainwater to water the flowers regularly.答案：A14.What do we know about Julie from the passage?A.She finds it embarrassing to walk on the grass.B.She once stepped on a dog’s waste.C.She is quite in favor of raising a dog.D.She takes pride in her community.答案：D15.From what Julie says in the last paragraph,we know.A.rainwater is not the best resourceB.her community makes full use of resourcesC.her community owns a public tankD.it is not necessary to water flowers very often答案：B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。

He spends most of his school day 27 in the corner of the principal’s office. With 30 other children in the class, the teacher has little 28 for Jimmy. He doesn’t 29 anything in the classroom and has trouble in making 30 . We all have 31 of the “bad kid” in our class—the child who was always in 32 and often alone. We 33 to blame this kind of behavior on a lack of discipline or on a(n) 34 home. We say the child is spoiled (宠坏) or “just 35 to getattention.” But these labels(标签) are often not true. Many of these children suffer from serious emotional problems that are not the 36 of their parents or themselves. Myths (荒诞的说法) about children’s behavior make it 37 for us to play the “blame game” instead of trying to 38 those children like Jimmy. 39 , with understanding, attention and proper mental health service, many children can 40 —they can make friends, join in 41 and grow up to lead meaningful lives. To help children with emotional problems realize their 42 , we must first learn the facts about the “bad kid.” Children do not behave badly or 43 in school just to get attention. Behavior problems can be symptoms of emotional or mental disorders, rather than 44 seeking attention. Behavior problems in children can be due to some factors. 45 these factors are sometimes due to poor parenting(养育), parents and family are more often a child’s greatest source of emotional support.26.

Unless第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）AIt all started off with five. It was raining, and my dad told me that I had to make five free throws(投球) one after another without a break before I could go home. I was ten yearsold at that time. So I shot (投球) until I indeed made five free throws. Pretty soon the number of free throws increased until I got to high school and I had to make seventy-five before I could leave the gym.I used to get mad when I reached the required amount and I would miss the next one, but my dad made me start over, saying that I missed it on purpose. So in high school I would usually get to 120 before I stopped. My highest ever was 175. I never expected this would ever bring me some benefit, but one game really changed my idea.Our school team was playing basketball match with Royal High School, and we lost the game by twenty points a week earlier, so this game was all about revenge (报仇). With two minutes left in the game, my team was up by six and their coach told them to foul (犯规). Our coach immediately put forward a perfect plan — giving the ball to me every time. And every time my teammates gave me the ball, the other team would foul me. Then I went to the free throw line and made two free throws successfully. I ended up going ten-for-ten that game all in the last two minutes. The final score was 57-50 and we won.46. We can learn from the first two paragraphs that .A. the author’s father was very strict with himB. the author’s father wanted him to create a recordC. the author had to make five free throws every dayD. the author could make 75 free throws at the age of 1047. How many times was the author fouled?A. Ten.B. Seven.C. Six.D. Five.48. What can we learn from the text?A. The author could make fifty free throws within two minutes.B. The author’s hard work brought a good result in the game.C. The author’s coach didn’t know the a uthor had the talent.D. Royal High School team was stronger than the author’s team.BHaving attended a first-aid-at-work course, Brian Cracknell soon found himself responding to two emergencies in a week.Brian was at work in his bus company office in Weston-super-Mare on May 18 when a colleague called to say there had been an accident at a bus stop nearby. He ran to the scene with his first aid kit and found an old lady sitting at the bus stop. When boarding (上车) the bus, the old lady painfully hurt her left leg, which was bleeding.He introduced himself, and asked some basic first aid questions to get a general picture of her health. Then he put his jacket on the floor, using the lady’s coat as a pillow, and gently laid her down so he could raise her l egs and apply some bandages. Bryan said, “At first I was a bit worried about remembering to do all the right things. I made sure she wasas comfortable as possible.” When he had nearly finished, he told the lady that she was his first one. The lady said he was doing a great job.Just a week later, Brian got a second call-out to help another lady at a bus stop.Having used his new skills twice within a short time, Brian has decided to sign up as a Red Cross first aid volunteer. As he said, “I just thought: what’s the point in having this knowledge if I’m not going to use it? It felt really good to help those people. I was so proud of myself afterwards, so I’m going to join the Red Cross.”49. Before helping the old lady, Brian .A. had given first aid on many peopleB. was thought to be a skilled first aid volunteerC. knew nothing about how to handle an emergencyD. had learnt first aid skills but hadn’t put them into practice50. What was wrong with the old lady when Brian arrived?A. Her legs were bleeding after being injured.B. Her left leg was injured and was bleeding.C. She fell onto the ground and hurt her head.D. She was knocked down by a bus and lost her legs.51. What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us?A. The reason why Brian was asked to help.B. Brian handled two emergencies in a week.C. How Brian gave first aid on the old lady.D. How the old lady reacted to Brian’s performance.52. After using his first aid skills twice, Brian .A. was discouraged and decided to give upB. realized he still had a lot of things to learnC. decided to give up his job for the Red CrossD. decided to help more people with his first aid skillsCA Japanese company has ordered all of its 2,700 employees to get identical (一模一样的) hairstyles. For men, the preferred cut is short on the sides and back but longer on top. For women, the company prefers a bob with a longer fringe (刘海) that can be swept to one side. This unusual request is its effort to help the country save energy.The spokeswoman for the Tokyo-based construction firm Maeda Corporation Chizuru Inoue explained, “Our company is eager to protect the environment and we encourage our staff to carry out many environment-friendly actions.”She added, “We are not sure of the data yet, but we believe if people have short hair, they do not need to use their hair driers for so long and they will use less water. If allour employees do this, then we may save a lot of power.” Some staff are confused about which style they must have and have been asking which salons (美容院) give the best cut.The energy-saving move is part of a national campaign to reduce energy consumption (消耗) following the Fukushima nuclear disaster. Japan has been struggling to produce enough electricity since the tsunami ended production at the Fukushima plants. The disaster resulted in a review of the country’s energy policy that now means less than a quarter of its remaining nuclear plants are in use. The government has talked about a move away from nuclear energy towards more sustainable (能持续的) technologies. Many government departments have taken measures to save power, including a reduced use of air conditioning in offices and schools. Many employees cannot turn down the air conditioner below 27 degrees in the hottest summer months.53. The company gave the order of hairstyles to .A. keep the company offices cleanB. show a good image of the businessC. make the staff look tidy and prettyD. help reduce energy consumption54. After the Fukushima nuclear disaster, Japan .A. is building more nuclear plantsB. has to rethink its energy policyC. limits people’s daily energy useD. decides to close old nuclear plants55. It can be inferred from the text that .A. nuclear power forms 1/4 of Japan’s energyB. nuclear plants will soon disappear in JapanC. the company is not alone in saving energyD. other companies have copied the “hairstyle order”56. What would be the best title for the text?A. Sustainable power is welcome in JapanB. Nuclear disaster brings bad resultsC. Short hairstyles may help save energyD. Japan is lacking in energyDIt turns out that nodding off (睡觉) in class may not be a bad idea, as a new study has shown that going to sleep shortly after learning new materials is the best way to remember them.According to US lead author Jessica Payne, a psychologist at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana, n odding off after learning something new is like “telling” the sleepingbrain what to remember. Along with colleagues, she studied 207 students who slept for at least six hours per night. Students were randomly (随机地) assigned to study something declarative (陈述的) at 9 am or 9 pm, and returned for testing 30 minutes, 12 hours or 24 hours later.Declarative memory refers to the ability to consciously (有意识地) remember facts and events, and can be divided into memory for events and memory for facts about the world. People use both types of memory every day — remembering where they parked today or learning how a colleague prefers to be called.At the 12-hour retest, memory was better following a night of sleep compared to a day of wakefulness(不眠). At the 24-hour retest, with all students having received both a full night of sleep and a full day of wakefulness, students’ memories were greater when sleep happened shortly after learning rather than following a full day of wakefulness.“Our study confirms that sleeping directly after learning something new is beneficial for memory. What’s special for this study is that we have shown sleep’s influence on declarative memory,” Payne said. “Since we found that sleeping soon after learning benefited both types of memory, this means that it would be a good thing to go over any information you need to remember before going to bed. In some sense, you may be telling the sleeping brain what to consolidate (巩固).”57. What’s the main idea of the text?A. How to improve one’s memory is a difficult problem.B. Nodding off after learning something new helps remember it.C. Students should nod off in class after they learn new materials.D. The best way to remember new materials is to nod off in class.58. We can learn about the study that .A. Jessica Payne and her colleagues were testedB. 207 students were eager to take the testC. it tested students studying something declarativeD. people’s memory can be divided into two types59. Paragraph 4 mainly tells us .A. students’ memories are the best if they sleep for 12 hours each dayB. sleeping for 24 hours contributes to improving students’ memoriesC. a full day of wakefulness can make students’ memories improved greatlyD. students’ memories are better when sleep happens shortly after learning60. What suggestion does Payne give in the last paragraph?A. The more you sleep, the more you remember.B. Go over what you want to remember before going to bed.C. Teachers should allow their students to sleep in class.D. If you want to improve your memory, you should sleep.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从下框的A-F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项。

Module 6Animals in Danger维A 阅读理解(2012·浙江，A)Easter(复活节) is still a great day for worship，candy in baskets and running around the yard finding eggs, but every year it gets quite a bit worse for bunnies.And no，not because the kids like to pull their ears.The culprit is climate change，and some researchers found that rising temperatures are having harmful effects on at least five species of rabbit in the US.Take the Lower Keys Marsh rabbit, for instance.An endangered species that lives in the Lower Florida Keys, this species of cottontail is a great swimmer—it lives on the islands！—but it is already severely affected by development and now by rising sea levels. According to the Center for Biological Diversity, an ocean level rise of only 0.6 meters will send these guys jumping to higher ground and a 0. 9meter rise would wipe out their habitat(栖息地)completely.The snowshoe hare，on the other hand，has a color issue.Most of these rabbits change their fur color from white in the wintertime to brown in the summer, each designed to give them better cover from predators(捕食者)．As the number of days with snow decreases all across the country, however, more and more bunnies are being left in white fur during brown dirt days of both fall and spring，making them an easier mark for predators.Researchers know that the color change is controlled by the number of hours of sunlight, but whether the rabbit will be able to adapt quick enough to survive is a big question. The National Wildlife Federation has reported that hunters have noticed their numbers are already markedly down.American pikas or rock rabbits, a relative of rabbits and hares，might be the first of these species to go extinct due to climate change. About 78 inches long, pikas live high in the cool，damp mountains west of the Rocky Mountains.As global temperatures rise, they would naturally migrate(迁移)to higher groundbut they already occupy the mountaintops.They can't go any higher. The National WildlifeFederation reports that they might not be able to stand the new temperatures as their habitat heats up.The volcano rabbit has the same problem.These rabbits live on the slopes of volcanoes in Mexico, and recent studies have shown that the lower range of their habitat has already shifted upward about 700 meters, but there are not suitable plants for them to move higher, so they are stuck in the middle.Scientists are concerned about their populations.Native to the US, pygmy rabbits weigh less than 1 pound and live in the American West. They are believed to be the smallest rabbits in the world. Their habitats have been destroyed by development.Several populations, such as the Columbia Basin pygmy, almost went extinct and were saved by zoo breeding programs.Pygmy rabbits also rely on winter cover by digging tunnels through the snow to escape predators, but lesser snowfall is leaving them exposed.All of this gives new meaning to dressing up in a giant bunny costume this Easter. 1．The writer mentions Easter at the beginning of the passage in order to________．A．show the importance of Easter DayB．introduce the issue about bunniesC．remind people of Easter traditionsD．discuss the relationship between Easter and bunnies2．The word “culprit” (Paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to________．A．criminal B．judgeC．victim D．producer3．According to the passage, some rabbits can now be easily discovered by predators because they________．A．are exposed to more skillful huntersB．have moved to habitats with fewer plantsC．haven't adapted themselves to climate changeD．can't change their fur color into white in the fall and the spring4．The problem faced by volcano rabbits and rock rabbits is that________．A．both are affected by less snowB．both are affected by rising sea levelsC．neither can find enough foodD．neither can migrate to higher places5．Which best describes the writer's tone in the passage?A．Approving. B．Concerned.C．Enthusiastic. D．Doubtful.【语篇解读】本文是一篇科普性短文。

Soon, Jamie came to the door and looked at me in 22 for the unexpected visit. Before she could say anything, I said, “I heard you were having a hard day and 23 to bring you something. I hope your day goes better.” The 24 that came over Jamie’s face was one that I could never put into words. It was as if a darkened sky was suddenly 25 with the golden rays of the sun; it was as if in that small act, her day was 26 .I got back into the car and 27 some amazing reason, I felt much better.

Module6 Animals in Danger(时间:100分钟满分:120分)第Ⅰ卷第一部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)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。
ACool Cats-CheetahsCheetah cubs(babies)are cute,furry,energetic,and downright lovely.And when they get older,they’ll run fas ter than any other animal on the planet.Five cheetah cubs were born in the summer of 2005 at the National Zoo in Washington,D.C.Their mother,Zazi,was 4 years old.When the cubs were 10 weeks old,they weighed 9 pounds and were about the size of house cats.They were the second cheetah litter(一窝)to be born at the zoo in seven months and the second litter to be born in the zoo’s 116-year history.“They’re pretty quick,”Lauren Afdahl,an animal keeper at the zoo,told Senior Edition.“Whenever they see something m oving,they take off and run.And cheetahs do like to run!They can reach speeds as high as 60 miles per hour.The cubs reach their top speed when they are about a year old.The National Zoo’s first litter of cheetah cubs was born in November 2004.When almos t a year old,those cubs weighed more than 30 pounds.Zazi’s cubs stay with her for at least a year.When they are fully grown,the cats may be sent to other zoos. Cheetahs are endangered animals.About 100 years ago,the wild cats roamed an area from North Africa to India.Today,cheetahs inhabit only the countries south of the Sahara desert.Just 12,000 to 15,000 now live in the wild.1.The writer’s attitude toward cheetahs seems to be .A.doubtful and afraidB.caring and admiringC.uncaringplaining答案：B2.The main idea of this passage is .A.cheetahs are interesting animalsB.when the cubs were 10 weeks old,they weighed 9 poundsC.female cheetahs can give birth only once a yearD.cheetahs like to run答案：A3.Based on the article,we can guess that the author is probably.A.afraid of cheetahsB.working at a zooC.a trained animal doctorD.in favor of protecting cheetahs答案：DBThousands of puffins(海鹦)live in Maine and on islands in the Gulf of Maine.But the puffins may be in dange st summer,the percentage of laid eggs that successfully produced baby puffins took a dive.Scientists also found a decline in the average body weight of the adult and baby puffins on Machias Seal Island,home to the area’s largest colony.Over the winter,dozens of the seabirds from the region were found dead,likely from starvation.What’s causing the puffin trouble?Scientists think it may be a shortage of food.With ocean temperatures rising,fish populations have moved around.Normally,puffins’ primary food source is herring,a type of fish.A lack of herring in the area could be cau sing the problem.Butterfish from the south have become more abundant in the Gulf of Maine and could be a new food source for birds.But Steve Kress says butterfish may be too big and round for baby puffins to swallow.Puffins spend most of their lives at sea.They come ashore to breed each spring and return to the ocean in August.The chicks swim to the sea about 40 days after hatching.Puffin population stretches across the North Atlantic,from Maine to northern Russia.Maine’s puffin population has been at risk in the past.In the 1800s,they were hunted for their food,eggs and feathers.By 1901,only one pair of puffins remained in the state.Thanks to the help of local lighthouse keepers and seabird restoration programs,the state’s puffin population has been restored to more than 2,000 birds. Scientists aren’t sure what will happen to the Gulf of Maine’s puffins.The birds may move further north.Kress says he hopes the Gulf population will sustain itself and then he continues,“You never know what climate change will bring.Historically fish could move out and more southerly fish could move in,and puffins may adapt to the new fish.Only they know how the story will unfold.”4.The underlined phrase “took a dive” means .A.increasedB.aroseC.reducedD.changed答案：C5.In scientists’ opinion, is contributing to the puffin trouble.A.a lack of herringB.environmental pollutionC.the increase of birdsD.the huge size of butterfish答案：A6.It can be inferred from the passage that .A.Maine’s puffin once nearly became extinctB.Maine’s puffins’ eggs were of high pricesC.baby puffins grew up quicklyD.the number of Maine’s puffins is worrying答案：A7.Judging from Kress’s words in the last paragraph,we know .A.climate change matters littleB.there is cause for concernC.the new fish won’t harm puffinsD.puffins may move to the south答案：BCIf you are interested in animals,you probably hear about the tragedy at Seaworld Orlando.On February 24,Tillicum,a six-ton orca(虎鲸),was performing with his trainer,Dawn Brancheau,who stood on a platform by his pool.They had done the same show together many times before,without incidents.This time,though,events took a terrible turn.Without warning,Tillicum leaped from the water,took hold of Branchcheau by her hair,and dragged her deep below the water’s surface.Before other trainers could react,Brancheau drowned.Although known as killer whales,orcas are the largest member of the dolphin family.They are easy to train,an d performances like Tillicum’s have been done safely thousands of times.Yet Dawn Brancheau’s death is a shocking reminder of what can happen when human beings act together with wild animals.People begin to ask,“Should orcas be kept in captivity(囚禁)?”YesWorldwide,only 42 orcas are being kept by humans.Scientists know very little about these huge sea animals,which are difficult to study in the wild.However,they do know that orcas are easily harmed by pollution.As our oceans become even more damaged by human activity,observing orcas up close helps us understand them and do a better job of protecting them in nature.“I think that some dangerous animals,such as killer whales,should be kept in captivity because it raises awareness about them and educates people about wild animals,” says Lauren,12,a 6-grader from Colorado.“Keeping some in captivity will help protect their species.”NoEnclosed habitats can be painful to wild animals,and make them act in unpredictable,even harmful ways.“It is wrong to keep these animals in captivity,”says Prathm,12.The 7th-grader from New Jersey,adds,“They should live in their own habitats,not be used as entertainment slaves.”Richard Ellis,a marine conservationist in New York,agrees.“It is part of human nature to keep wild animals in small space and train them to do tricks,” he says.“I’ m against it becauseI think it humiliates the animals.”8.Why does the author tell the tragedy of Dawn Brancheau?A.To introduce the topic.B.To express his sympathy.C.To describe the human-animal relationship.D.To warn people of the danger of keeping animals.答案：A9.What can we infer from the text?A.It is hard to train orcas.B.Orcas are rare sea animals.C.Orcas’ habitat is being destroyed.D.Many orcas are hunted each year.答案：C10.The underli ned word “humiliates” in the last paragraph most probably means “ ”.A.makes somebody less intelligentB.makes somebody feel ashamedC.makes somebody physically weakD.makes somebody feel threatened答案：B11.The text is mainly about.A.how to help animals live a better lifeB.how to develop friendship with animalsC.whether killer whales should be protectedD.whether animals should be kept in captivity答案：DDWhen nature lovers all over the world wish all humans to realize the importance of their natural surroundings,many Australians are turning caring for the environment into a way of life.Julie Astonis,an Australian housewife in Brisbane is one such example.Even though autumn is approaching Australia’s Brisbane in April,one can still watch color ful blooming(盛开的)flowers in Julie’s small garden,as she tells that in her community,“Each of us has a beautiful yard.The whole community,from children to elderly people,take care of the environment as if they are taking care of their own garden.”“Gardening is the most popular club in our community,” she says.“A lot of retired people don’t just regularly organize ga rdening lectures,but also personally visit families in the community to provide gardening training.So you can see that flowers continue to blo ssom in our gardens throughout the year.”Talking about her people’s sense of caring for the environment,Julie says when people in the community take along their dog,they always carry a garbage bag to deal with the dog’s waste.“In our community,you will ne ver experience the embarrassment of stepping on the dirty waste while you are walking on the grass,” says Julie with a smile.“Taking care of the dog’s waste can also help to develop children’s sense of responsibility!”As to protecting water resources,the Australian government has made strict rules for families.Julie says,“We certainly would not use tap water to water the flowers!” She says almost every family in her community has a huge tank used to store rainwater,which is later used as the resource of all outdoor wateruse,including car washing and watering the garden.This year,they also asked people to connect the water tank with their toilets.12.From the first three paragraphs we learn that .A.gardening is popular in most parts of AustraliaB.April is a great time for people to enjoy flowersC.Julie’s community has a deep sense of caring for natureD.it’s not easy to keep a garden without proper training答案：C13.Why can flowers be seen all year round in Julie’s community?A.Families are taught how to take care of their gardens.B.Gardening lessons are often gi ven by professors.C.The local government provides free gardening training.D.There is enough rainwater to water the flowers regularly.答案：A14.What do we know about Julie from the passage?A.She finds it embarrassing to walk on the grass.B.She once stepped on a dog’s waste.C.She is quite in favor of raising a dog.D.She takes pride in her community.答案：D15.From what Julie says in the last paragraph,we know.A.rainwater is not the best resourceB.her community makes full use of resourcesC.her community owns a public tankD.it is not necessary to water flowers very often答案：B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。
