　　A

　　It was an interesting conversation with Paul,my local greengrocer the other day when I noticed the bird feed in his store that has recently appeared.What made everyone feel the need to feed our wild birds?Bird feed has become a regular item on a shopping list as normal as a bag of potatoes.I didn’t just wonder this privately but I asked my reliable groceryman what was going on.Exactly how did the birds make do for so long before we started feeding them?Judging by the popularity of this current consumer pattern I wonder just how much the wild bird food industry is worth.It must be profitable to the local groceryman who replaced a whole row of food for human consumption to make room for it.He smiled at me as if he’d been waiting for these questions for a while and he seemed surprisingly ready for the conversation.

　　The fact is animals’ habitats are disappearing.We’re cutting and clearing trees to make way for fields for cattle and sheep,creating fields of nothing but bare land.We’re changing the entire ecosystem in the name of big mechanised agriculture and meat production that clogs(堵塞) your heart and eventually kills you along with the wildlife it killed first.Not to mention roads and industry which wipe out everything.“We’re living in a different world,”he said.“Don’t take me wrong.I mean it in the best possible way,but wildlife is a thing of the past.”I’d thought of this concept before but to hear it said out loud by a small shop owner in the west of Ireland jolted me slightly.An earth of the future where species became fewer?Skies,land,oceans empty of wildlife?People living in a sterile(荒瘠的) world?Is that really where we’re headed?

　　I’d only dropped in to pick up some bread.It was surprising that you could have such a conversation while getting something for breakfast.I told Paul we’d continue this discussion another day.“And a lovely day it is too,”he said.

　　【語篇導讀】本文是議論文。作者和一位果蔬店的老板討論了人們為什么買鳥食喂鳥,從而引出了人類對野生動物棲息地的破壞導致它們越來越少的話題。

　　1.Before Paul replied to the author’s questions,the author 　.?

　　A.thought Paul earned good money by selling bird feed

　　B.was uncertain about asking such private questions

　　C.knew Paul had answers

　　D.was ready to feed birds

　　答案:A

　　解析:細節理解題。根據第一段中的“It must be profitable to the local groceryman who replaced a whole row of food for human consumption to make room for it.”可知,作者認為賣鳥食利潤很大,所以果蔬店的老板把一排食物都換成了鳥食。

　　2.The underlined word “jolted” in Paragraph 2 means 　.?

　　A.puzzledB.shocked

　　C.encouraged D.annoyed

　　答案:B

　　解析:詞義猜測題。根據該詞前的“a small shop owner in the west of Ireland”可推測,作者沒想到愛爾蘭西部的一位小果蔬店的老板能有這么深刻的認識,因此他感到有些“震驚”。

　　3.We can learn from Paragraph 2 that Paul 　.?

　　A.didn’t agree with the author

　　B.felt concerned about wildlife

　　C.didn’t know what he really wanted

　　D.opposed the development of society

　　答案:B

　　解析:推理判斷題。根據第二段中的“animals’ habitats are disappearing.We’re cutting and clearing trees...creating fields of nothing but bare land.We’re changing the entire ecosystem...roads and industry which wipe out everything...but wildlife is a thing of the past”可以看出,Paul不贊成人類肆意破壞大自然的行為,他為野生動物的生存感到擔憂。

　　4.What’s the best title for the text?

　　A.Wildlife,a thing of the past?

　　B.Paul,my reliable groceryman

　　C.Humans,what do we really need?

　　D.Bird feed,the new profitable industry

　　答案:A

　　解析:主旨大意題。通讀全文可知,作者和果蔬店的老板Paul探討了人類對野生動物棲息地的破壞導致它們越來越少的話題。A項不僅符合Paul在第二段中所說的“wildlife is a thing of the past”,而且問號也能引起人們對該問題的興趣及重視,故最適合作為本文標題。

　　B

　　The largest land animal remaining on the earth,the African elephant,is of much importance to the African ecosystem.Unlike other animals,the African elephant is to a great extent the builder of its environment.As a giant plant-eater,it significantly shapes the forest-and-savanna surroundings in which it lives,therefore deciding the conditions of existence for millions of other animals that live in its habitat.

　　It is the elephant’s great desire for food that makes it both 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 bushes,as well as pulls branches off big trees.This results in numerous open spaces in not only deep tropical forests but also the woodlands that cover part of the African savannas.In these open spaces,there are numerous plants in various stages of growth,which attract a variety of other plant-eaters.

　　Take the rain forests for example.In their natural states,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 create 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-sized plant-eaters to obtain their food as well.

　　Scientists are worried now that the African elephant has become an endangered species.If the elephant dies out,scientists say,many other animals will also disappear from vast areas of forests and savannas,greatly changing and worsening the whole ecosystem.

　　【語篇導讀】本文是一篇說明文,文章主要介紹了非洲象對非洲大草原生態系統的巨大影響。

　　5.It can be inferred from the passage that the African elephant 　.?

　　A.is now the largest animal on the earth

　　B.determines the living conditions of millions of other animals in its habitat

　　C.has far-reaching impacts on its habitat as a giant animal-eater

　　D.makes great contributions to its environment like other animals

　　答案:B

　　解析:考查推理判斷。根據文章第一段中的“As a giant plant-eater,it significantly shapes the forest-and-savanna surroundings in which it lives,therefore deciding the conditions of existence for millions of other animals that live in its habitat”可推知,非洲象作為巨大的食草動物,它決定著棲息地的許多其他動物的生活條件,即B項正確。

　　6.The African elephant influences the ecosystem in the following ways except that 　.?

　　A.it creates open areas in deep tropical forests as well as woodlands

　　B.it pulls off the branches and leaves,shutting out the sunshine

　　C.its eating habit can be made use of by large-hoofed and small-sized animals

　　D.it encourages the growth of some plants

　　答案:B

　　解析:考查細節理解。根據第三段中的“In their natural states,the spreading branches overhead shut out sunlight and prevent the growth of plants on the forest floor”可知,應選B項。

　　7.According to the passage,which of the following statements is true?

　　A.Numerous grown plants are the favorites of plant-eaters.

　　B.The extinction of the African elephant has nothing to do with the ecosystem.

　　C.Quantities of plants are consumed by African elephants,including branches and bushes.

　　D.The forest floor in tropical forests is scarcely dotted with new shoots.

　　答案:C

　　解析:考查正誤判斷。根據第二段中的“In its continuous search for the 300 pounds of plants it must have every day,it kills small trees and bushes,as well as pulls branches off big trees”可知,C項正確。

　　8.The passage is developed mainly by 　.?

　　A.presenting the changes in time order

　　B.making comparisons and giving examples

　　C.classifying similarities and differences

　　D.showing the effect and then explaining the reasons

　　答案:D

　　A small mammal lives in the rocky cliffs(峭壁) of Tian Shan,a mountain range in northwest China.But scientists don’t know much about this tiny creature known as the Ili pika.1.?

　　In fact,it had been more than 20 years since anyone had seen an Ili pika.But Li Weidong,who first discovered the animal,and a team of volunteers combed the mountains looking for the animals.2.

　　“They found it hiding behind a rock,and they realized they had found the pika,”Tatsuya Shin,a Chinese naturalist said.

　　Li was studying diseases in a mountainous region of northwest China when he first discovered the 8-inch mammal in 1983.3.　 In 1985,he found two more pikas.When researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences took a closer look at Li’s discovery,they confirmed that it was indeed a new species.?

　　In the early 1990s,scientists estimated(估計) that there were about 2,000 Ili pikas running across mountain cliffs in China.Now there are probably fewer than 1,000.Li thinks that the Ili pika population has decreased by nearly 70 percent since he saw the first one in 1983.

　　“This tiny species could be extinct anytime,”Li said.“4.　”?

　　Big changes to the Ili pika habitat are probably contributing to the pikas’ lower population.In addition,Ili pikas don’t reproduce often,and other animals are eating grass where they live.Changes in local temperatures have driven Ili pikas to higher elevations(海拔) in the mountains.

　　Li and others are encouraging wildlife groups to help protect this creature.Li searches full-time for Ili pikas.5.　 Li is also working to create a wildlife reserve to help protect Ili pikas.?

　　A.It became endangered soon.

　　B.They finally spotted one last summer.

　　C.Lots of animals were discovered in the mountains.

　　D.Li didn’t know what it was,and neither did the locals.

　　E.Only three dozen of them have ever been seen by people.

　　F.They don’t exist in the sites where they used to be anymore.

　　G.He continues to study the animals and tries to find ways to help them.
