1800s.It was common to see large groups of passenger pigeonsgroups that made a sound like a storm.But today,they are extinct because of human behavior.Now,some scientists want to bring passenger pigeons back to life by using new technology and scientific ideas.They call this process de-extinction.De-extinction has not happened yet.It is still just an idea.The process of de-extinction is not easy.First,scientists must collect DNA from the bodies of extinct animals.Then they will put it in the eggs of similar animal species.When these animals become adults,they will have babies.And these baby animals will have the DNA of the extinct animals.Scientists believe it is possible to bring back passenger pigeons and many other animals.However,not everyone thinks this is a good idea.Stuart Primm is the worlds leading expert on modern animal extinction.He believes that bringing extinct animals back to life is bad for the earth.On the one hand,these animals no longer have a safe place to live.On the other hand,they could cause other animals to die.Many other scientists do not agree with Stuart Primm.Stuart Brand,a writer and scientist,is one of them.He believes de-extinction is good for many reasons.“The current generation (当代) of children will experience the return of some unusual animals in their lifetime.It may be part of what defines their generation and their attitude to the natural world.They will take their parents to zoos to see the growing populations of passenger pigeons,and maybe even dodo birds.This will provide a good deal of money for zoos busy with extinct species restoration (恢复).Humans killed off a lot of species over the last 10,000 years.So,its right to bring some back to life,” he said.21.In the 19th century,passenger pigeons .A.were common sightingsB.suffered a lot from stormsC.lived mainly in North AmericaD.were the largest in American history答案A解析细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Passenger pigeons were the most common birds in all of North America in the 1800s.It was common to see large groups of passenger pigeonsgroups that made a sound like a storm.”可知,19世纪时的旅鸽数目众多。22.What do we know about de-extinction?A.It will change the DNA of the extinct animals.B.It was first used in passenger pigeons.C.It is difficult to carry out.D.It proved to be useful.答案C解析细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The process of de-extinction is not easy.”以及接下来具体介绍灭绝物种复活的复杂过程可知,复活灭绝物种绝非易事。23.Why is Stuart Primm against bringing back extinct animals?A.They will die very soon.B.They will create other problems.C.They will do great harm to humans.D.They will replace the similar species.答案B解析推理判断题。根据第四段中的“He believes that bringing extinct animals back to life is bad for the earth.these animals no longer have a safe place to live.”和“they could cause other animals to die”可知,Stuart Primm反对复活灭绝物种是因为他认为这些复活的动物会造成一些新的问题。24.How does Stuart Brand feel about de-extinction?A.Wrong.B.Difficult.C.Important.D.Wasteful.答案C解析观点态度题。根据倒数第二段中的“He believes de-extinction is good for many reasons”以及Stuart Brand在最后一段具体陈述复活灭绝物种的好处可知,他认为复活灭绝物种很重要。B1970 was the World Conservation (自然保护) Year.The United Nations wanted everyone to know that the world was in danger.They hoped that governments would go into action (行动) quickly in order to conserve nature.Here is one example of the problems.At one time there were 1,300 different plants,trees and flowers in Holland,but now only 860 remain.The others have been destroyed by modern men and their technology.We are changing the earth,the air and the water,and everything that grows and lives.We cant live without these plants.If we continue like this,we will destroy ourselves.What will happen in the future?Perhaps it is more important to ask “What must we do now?” The people who will be living in the world of tomorrow are the young of today.A lot of them know that conservation is necessary.Many are helping to save our world.They plant trees,build bridges across rivers in forests,and so on.In a small town in the United States a large group of girls cleaned the banks of 11 kilometres of their river.Young people may hear about conservation through a record called “No ones going to change our world”.It was made by the Beatles,Cliff Richard and other singers.The money from it will help conserve wild animals.25.If we continue to change the earth we live in,we shall in the end.A.destroy the air and waterB.destroy everything that grows and livesC.destroy the outer spaceD.destroy ourselves答案D解析细节理解题。由第一段最后一句可以得出答案。26.What will happen in the future is decided by .A.the young of todayB.the young of tomorrowC.what we do todayD.how much we know about the earth答案C解析推理判断题。由第二段第一、二句可以推知:我们今天所做的事情决定了这个世界将来会发生什么事情。27.“No ones going to change our world” is .A.a call given by the BeatlesB.the name of a popular recordC.the name of a popular bookD.the name of a radio station答案B解析细节理解题。由第二段中的倒数第二、三句可以得出答案。28.Some of the world famous singers made a record to collect money for .A.the United NationsB.saving the living thingsC.the conservation of natureD.the poor people of the world答案C解析推理判断题。由短文最后一句可知,一些歌手是为保护自然而筹资。CWildlife faces threats from habitat destruction,pollution and other human actions.Although protecting wildlife can seem difficult at times,even small actions in your own neighborhood can help protect many different animals.As the saying goes,“Think globally and act locally.”You can protect wildlife for future generations.Create wildlife-friendly areas in your backyard.When choosing your lawn and landscaping,choose native plants that can provide food or living places for native wildlife.This will also help cut down on pollution.Add bird or bat houses to your yard or garden to attract these species and offer places to them to live in.Avoid disrupting(扰乱) the natural ecosystem in your area.Non-native plants or animals can destroy habitats,particularly if there is no natural predator(捕食性动物) to keep the species in a certain amount.They can kill or disturb native plants that provide food and living places for wildlife.Practice a greener lifestyle.By saving water and fossil fuels,you will be helping to protect the wildlife around you.Take public transportation when you can,turn off electric devices when youre not using them,take shorter showers and keep your heat at or below 20 during the winter.Become knowledgeable about what can cause global warming,which disrupts migration patterns and habitats.Buy products that are wildlife friendly.Avoid products that are made from threatened or endangered animals.Keep in mind that some endangered animals are killed by traps,or hunters who are after other wildlife within the same habitat.Talk to or write to policymakers about protecting wildlife.Write letters to a local newspaper.Discuss ways to help animals with friends and family members.Limit the family size.Population growth is one of the major factors in habitat destruction.By living in established city limits and limiting the family size to around two children per family,the earths population will stabilize(稳定) and native habitats can be protected.29.Whats the main idea of the first paragraph?A.It is impossible to protect wildlife.B.You can protect wildlife by taking small actions.C.Protecting wildlife needs ideas rather than actions.D.Humans are big threats to wildlife in fact.答案B解析主旨大意题。第一段主要讲述了虽然保护野生动植物有时看起来是困难的,但是实际上,我们完全可以采取一些小的行动来保护它们,所以B项符合该段大意。30.What should we do to protect wildlife?A.Stop non-native plants and animals destroying the natural ecosystem.B.Know more knowledge about wildlife.C.Increase the number of the population in the world.D.Write letters about animals to your friends.答案A解析细节理解题。根据第三段中的“They can kill or disturb native plants that provide food and living places for wildlife.”可知A项正确。31.Which of the following can be taken as a greener lifestyle?A.Planting native trees in your backyard.B.Keeping the water above 20 when you are bathing.C.Taking a bus when you are going out.D.Only eating vegetables.答案C解析细节理解题。根据第四段的首句和其中的“Take public transportation when you can.”可知,坐公共汽车出行是一种绿色的生活方式,所以C项正确。32.Whats the best title for the text?A.Why global warming affects wildlifeB.Whether we are friendly to wildlifeC.What makes wildlife endangeredD.How we can protect wildlife答案D解析主旨大意题。本文主要讨论了我们怎样在日常生活中采取一些小的行动来保护野生动植物,故D项适合作文章的标题。DLions are family animals and truly social in their own communities.They usually live in groups of 15 or more animals called prides.Prides can be as small as 3 or as big as 40 animals.In a pride(一群),lions hunt food,raise little lions,and defend their territory(领地) together.In prides the females do most of the hunting and care for little lions.Usually all the females in a pride are relatedmothers,daughters,grandmothers,and sisters.Each pride generally will have no more than two adult males.While the females usually live with the pride for life,the males often stay for only two to four years.After that they go off on their own or are evicted(逐出) by other males who take over the pride.When a new male becomes part of the pride it is not unusual for him to kill all the little lions,making sure that all future little lions will have his genes.The main job of males in the pride is defending the prides territory.A males loud roar(吼叫),usually heard after sunset,can be heard as far as eight kilometers.The roar warns off intruders(入侵者) and helps round up small members of the pride.Hunting generally is done in the dark by the females.They often hunt in groups of two or three,using teamwork to surround,and kill other animals.Females arent the most successful of hunters,because they usually score(收获) only one kill out of several tries.After the kill the males usually eat first,females next and the little lions get whats left.Males and females defend against any outside lions that attempt to join their pride.33.It can be learned from the passage that the male lion .A.usually lives with its family members for lifeB.can frighten its enemies with its loud roarC.is the main hunter in its familyD.raises baby lions as the female lion does答案B解析细节理解题。根据倒数第二段最后一句“The roar warns off intruders and.”可知,雄狮的叫声能够吓走入侵者,故选B项。34.Who eat first after the lion group got the food?A.Little lions.B.Female lions.C.Male lions.D.Old lions.答案C解析细节理解题。根据最后一段倒数第二句“After the kill the males usually eat first.whats left”可知,最先吃食物的是雄狮,故选C项。35.We can infer from the passage that .A.it is only male lions in a pride that defend their territoryB.usually all the females in the pride are relativesC.male lions help females when huntingD.lions hunt their food usually in the daytime答案B解析推理判断题。根据第二段的“Usually all the females in a pride are related.”可推知,在狮群中,通常所有的雌狮都有亲属关系。故选B项。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。选项中有两项为多余选项。Recently some American scientists have given a useful piece of advice to people in
