survey.Compiled(汇编) by the aircraft maker Airbus，the survey was announced at London Zoo on 16 May, a week ahead of the UNs International Day of Biodiversity(生物多样性) on 22 May.Forty percent of the 10，000 5 to 18yearolds who participated ranked watching TV or playing computer games higher than saving the environment.School reporters from Mayfield School and College in Barking, London, commented on the possible future effect of the surveys results.Fardus，16，said，“I do care about animals becoming extinct, as each animal is involved in a circle of life.Without each animal the world would lose its function.”He added，“We are the future generation and we need to live on the resources that animals give us.”Sophie, 16, said，“Animals are basically like us.Theyve got to live.Theyve got to eat.And its important to look after them as well as they look after us.” She believed one reason for young childrens lack of awareness(意识) was their addiction to computer games and other electrical products.Naila, 16, said，“No matter how big or small they are, animals play a really important part for the earth.”She added，“If all the animals are extinct, the future generation of children wont have anything left, and it will be the adults fault because theyre not thinking about the childrens future.”“You cant blame young people for not caring，”she said，“Because the generation that are already here are teaching us not to care by hurting animals and causing environmental damage.”【解题导语】英国一项针对青少年进行的调查显示，大部分青少年对于野生动物保护还不够重视，这种意识还有待加强。1Which would be the best title for the passage?AYoung People Pay Less Attention to Protecting AnimalsBYoung People Spend Much Time on TV and ComputersCWild Animals Are in Great DangerDWild Animals Are Part of the EarthA解析：标题归纳题。本文是一篇新闻报道，它主要告诉读者一项调查的结果，并希望引起读者的反思，这项针对青少年的调查表明，现在青少年对环境问题以及野生动物的保护关心不够。2What does the underlined word “priority” in Para.1 most probably mean?ASomething useful.BSomething popular.CSomething important.DSomething interesting.C解析：词义猜测题。根据下文可知，当今青少年对于保护动物这件事情不够重视，因此判断这里的priority一词意为“优先之事，重要之事”。3What do we learn about the survey?AIt was aimed at teenagers.BIt was conducted by London Zoo.CIt was announced on May 22nd.DHalf of the participants were from middle schools.A解析：细节理解题。根据第三段“.10，000 5 to 18yearolds who participated.”可知这项调查是针对青少年进行的，故A项正确。该调查的结果是在5月22日(国际生物多样性日)之前在伦敦动物园发布的，但并不是伦敦动物园发起的，因此B、C两项错误，D项无依据。4According to Sophie, one reason that young people arent aware enough of protecting animals is that _Athey dont like animals at allBthey pay more attention to electrical productsCthey are affected by people who hurt animalsDthey arent taught to protect animals at schoolB解析：细节理解题。由倒数第三段最后一句话可知，Sophie认为青少年缺乏保护动物意识的一个原因是“他们沉溺于电脑游戏和其他电子产品”，因此B项正确。 完形填空To celebrate the end of our exams, my friends and I went to a fast food restaurant.We _1_ hamburgers and Coca Cola at the counter.When our _2_ came，I started walking towards an empty table.By bad luck, my purse strap(带子) got _3_ on a chair and the tray(托盘) that I was holding slipped _4_ my hands and went flying in

summer. Its a long journey and the main stop is in Israel.The Great White Pelican is a huge bird. Its the largest bird in the world to make such a long journey. Its diet is mainly fish and it eats about 1.4 kilos each day.The pelicans love to gather in large numbers. Until recent years, there were plenty of water supplies(供给) in Israel. Frequently, the pelicans arrive in Israel tired. They cannot continue their long journey until they have rested. However, for a variety of reasons, these water supplies have dried up and the pelicans have had to find other food sources.Fish farming has become big business in Israel. As you may imagine, a fish farm is something pelicans could usually only dream of! In the summer months when the Great White Pelicans passed through, Israels fish farmers began to lose tons of fish. Some farms were even forced to close their business. Something had to be done.The Israel Ministry of Agriculture considered the problem carefully. How could it stop 75，000 huge pelicans from arriving in Israel? It decided this was not possible. It chose a place with a plentiful supply of water, and provided money for local farmers to buy food, which they fed to the pelicans. The pelicans soon understood this and now arrive at the place to feed and rest. They no longer have to rely on the fish farms for food.Its a solution that seems to have worked. At one point, it looked as if the Ministry would stop the money. One criticism(批评) was that with so much food, the pelicans would never leave and would become even more expensive. However, there was such outcry from environmentalists and farmers that the money remains.Perhaps their large numbers in Israel will attract birdwatchers from all over the world to visit the amazing sight, and tourism can bring new income to the country.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。每年白鹈鹕大军都迁徙到非洲过冬，而以色列是中途重要休息的地方。然而，成千上万的白鹈鹕为以色列的农民带来了不少的烦恼。1What can we learn about Great White Pelicans?AThey are loners.BThey winter in Israel.CThey are good at longdistance flying.DThey reduce their intake during their journey.C解析：细节理解题。由第一段中的“Its a long journey and the main stop is in Israel.”以及第二段中的“Its the largest bird in the world to make such a long journey.”可知，白鹈鹕擅长长距离飞行。2What problem did the fish farmers face?AThe pelicans damaged the local environment.BTheir farms were closed by the government.CThe water supplies were not enough.DThey suffered a heavy loss of fish.D解析：细节理解题。由第四段中的“Israels fish farmers began to lose tons of fish”可知，每年当地农民因为白鹈鹕的到来都会损失数吨的鱼。3What measures did the government take?AThey prevented the pelicans stopping in Israel.BThey encouraged farmers to develop tourism.CThey gave farmers money to farm more fish.DThey found a new place for the pelicans.D解析：细节理解题。由第五段中的“It chose a place with a plentiful supply of water, and provided money for local farmers to buy food, which they fed to the pelicans.”可知，政府为白鹈鹕重新选择了一处食物供应充足的地方。4What is the authors attitude to the pelicans in Israel?AOptimistic.BUnclear.CDoubtful.DUnconcerned.A解析：推理判断题。由最后一段“Perhaps their large numbers in Israel will attract birdwatchers from all over the world to visit the amazing sight, and tourism can bring new income to the country.”可知，作者认为以色列境内的白鹈鹕可能为发展旅游业、增加人们的收入注入新的活力。由此可知，他对以色列白鹈鹕这一问题持乐观的态度。BDebates over the benefits of recycling started in 1996 when a writer called John Tierney said “recycling is garbage”. According to him, “Recycling programs offer mainly shortterm benefits to a few related groups while diverting(转移) money from real social and environmental problems. It doubles energy consumption and pollution while costing taxpayers more money than dealing with old garbage. Recycling may be the most wasteful activity in modern America.”Environmental groups were quick to respond to Tierney by issuing reports detailing the benefits of recycling and showing how municipal(市政的) recycling programs reduce pollution and the use of resources while decreasing the amount of garbage and the need for landfill spaceall for less, not more, than the cost of regular garbage collection and disposal(处置)But in 2002, New York City, an early municipal recycling pioneer, found that its muchpraised recycling program was losing money, so it eliminated glass and plastic recycling. According to the Mayor, the benefits of recycling plastic and glass were outweighed(大于) by the pricerecycling cost twice as much as disposal. Meanwhile, low demand for the materials meant that much of it was ending up in landfills anyway. NYC closed its last landfill and brought in a more efficient system, with more famous service providers than it had used previously.The lessons learned by New York are applicable everywhere. Some early recycling programs waste resources and lead to new trash. But the situation has improved as cities have gained experience. If managed correctly, recycling programs should cost cities and taxpayers less than garbage disposal for any given amount of material. Even though the benefits of recycling over disposal are various, individuals should keep in mind that it better serves the environment to reduce and reuse materials before recycling even becomes an option.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要探讨了垃圾回收是否弊大于利。5John Tierney thought that recycling _Ais a waste of moneyBleads to a lack of employersCis beneficial to the environmentDwill become popular in the futureA解析：细节理解题。根据第一段的“Recycling programs.diverting(转移) money from real social and environmental problems.costing taxpayers more money than dealing with old garbage.”可知，John Tierney认为回收是浪费资金的行为。6Whats the meaning of the underlined word “eliminated” in Paragraph 3?ARequired.BForgot.CEncouraged.DCancelled.D解析：词义猜测题。根据第三段的“its muchpraised recycling program was losing money”及“the benefits of recycling plastic and glass.cost twice as much as disposal”可知，纽约市的塑料和玻璃回收项目处于亏损状态，由此可推断该市取消了这些回收项目。7What does the last paragraph imply?AWe should make recycling an option.BPublic recycling programs are in a bad situation.CWe should develop the awareness of resource saving.DCostsaving should be considered first in recycling work.C解析：推理判断题。根据第四段的“it better serves the environment to reduce and reuse materials before recycling even becomes an option”可知，作者认为，回收可能会变成一种选择，但我们应当有减少浪费和循环使用资源的环保意识。8What can be the best title for this passage?AThe Harm of RecyclingBIs Recycling Really Beneficial?CThe Recycling Work in New York CityDIs Environmental Protection Making Progress?B解析：标题归纳题。文章主要根据一个争论引出了关于垃圾回收是否有益的探讨。 七选五The food chain is the order in which animals and plants eat each other in order to survive. 1._ Every ecosystem has a different food chain, depending on which animals and plants live there.The lowest part of the food chain is the plants. They are called producers because they produce their own food using the sunlights energy. This process is called photosynthesis(光合作用). Animals are the consumers of the food chain. 2._Some animals only eat plants. 3._ And some animals, like wolves, foxes or lions, feed on other animals. Each food chain has a predator(捕食者), the strongest animal that is not eaten by others. Hawks or polar bears are such predators that control their habitats.Many creatures belong to more than one food chain. 4._ Food chains that are connected to each other are called food webs. When an animal dies, it is eaten up by bacteria and other organisms. Th
