They have spotted more than 300 kinds of birds as well as many rare and threatened animal species. But, this was not the scene in 1991 when Anil and Pamela came to this part of the country. “When I came here, it was a wasteland. The owner wanted to sell because he couldnt grow coffee or anything else,” says Anil who worked in the real estate（房地产）and restaurant business in the US before moving to India. “For me and Pamela, this was what we were looking for all our life.”The couple had a love for nature from their childhood. When the Malhotras came to India, the pollution horrified them. “That was when we decided to do something to reclaim（开垦）the forest in India,” says Anil. “We were not looking for money. Early on, we realized that shortage of fresh water will be a concern for India and the rest of the world. Acquisition, protection and reclamation of forested lands and wildlife habitat, where vital water sources have their origin, is the only way to save ourselves,” explains Anil.They sold what they owned in America, bought the first 55 acres and began to grow a forest. Soon they bought the land nearby as well. “Many of the farmers considered their holdings wasteland as very little grew on it and were happy to get money,” says Anil.Hunting and poaching（偷猎）was a challenge and often the locals did not understand what this couple was doing, so it required a lot of talking to create awareness. They worked with the forest department to set up camera traps and keep poachers away. “There are times I have fought with poachers,” says Pamela.24. Why did the Malhotras buy the wasteland in India?A. To build a private zoo.B. To develop the local agriculture.C. To preserve the environment.D. To develop restaurant business.25. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 probably refer to?A. the coffeeB. The landC. The restaurantD. The scene in 199126. What can be inferred about the Malhotras?A. They had a tough life in America.B. They found important water sources.C. They make a lot of money in India.D. They live in harmony with nature.27. What might the Malhotras think of the local farmers?A. They lack environmental awareness.B. They are ready to help others.C. They are greedy for profits.D. They have no knowledge of agriculture.CGreen tree ants are important builders in the rainforest. Theyre like the worker bees of the ant world. The native forest of Thala Beach Nature Reserve is the natural home of these insects.They climb all over the tree that contains their nest and protect it from enemies with great fierceness. The ants are often in the fruiting trees of Tropical North Queensland. When an animal tries to help themselves to some tasty fruit, they find themselves attacked by a powerful, frightening army of green tree ants! Their bite is not very painful but many ants attacking at the same time can be extremely unfortable.The nests are large and constructed by sticking the leaves at the end of branches together to create a home looking roughly like a globe. Most of the nest construction and weaving is conducted at night. A mature colony of green tree ants can hold as many as 100,000 to 500,000 workers and may include as many as 12 trees and contain as any as 150 nests. Green tree ant colonies have one queen and a colony can live up to eight years.However, the ants are so busy that they fail to spot a dishonest figure. There is a spider called the Salticid spider, or the jumping spider, as they are sometimes referred to, which has excellent eyesight and is only active during daylight, weaving a protective covering of silk to spend the night in. Interestingly, the Salticid spider does not look like a green tree ant. Instead, it chemically copies green tree ants smell. Effectively pretending to be an ant, it goes into the green tree ants nest, enters the nursery and feasts on their babies. Green tree ants dont have good eyesight and smell everything with their antennae (two long thin parts on an ants head). Therefore, the ants think the spider is another ant and ignore its presence within the nest.Next time, as you wander around Thalas native forest, keep an eye out for these busy little creatures. Look up into the trees and youll likely spot their nests.28. What does Paragraph 2 tell us about green tree ants?A. They often start wars for food.B. They like tasty fruit very much.C. They leave painful bites.D. They have good defenses.29. What is special about the green tree ants nest?A. It takes years to weave a nest.B. It is reconstructed yearly.C. It is made of leaves.D. It can hold up to 500,000 ants.30. Why do green tree ants regard the spider as another ant?A. It can municate with them.B. It can make familiar sounds.C. It has a similar smell.D. It has an ants appearance.31. What can we say about the Salticid spider?A. It is the green tree ants enemy.B. It helps the green tree ant build bests.C. It is harmful to fruiting trees.D. It protects the green tree ant.DIn France, franglais（英式法语）was seen as a national threat. Just as we took in thousands of French words in the Middle Ages, French speakers and writers today are taking in thousands of English and American expressions. By 1994, so many English words had made their way to French that the French government passed a law forbidding the use of English words where good French words existed.But the latest edition of the Academy francaise dictionary did admit about 6,000 new words to the French language, including, for the first time, a number of franglais words and expressions.However, this sort of thing is not just limited to traditional English French petition. Norway and Brazil have recently taken similar measures to keep English out.As English spreads around the globe, it has developed rich varieties. English has been spoken in Singapore since the early 19th century, but after independence from Britain, Singapore went a step further and English was made the official language of business and government. But the day today English that the people of Singapore actually speak is a far cry from the official English that the government wants them to learn. It has bee an expressive dialect called “Singlish”, full of vocabulary and grammar borrowed from the Singapores native languages.And this may be the irony（讽刺）of the global spread of English. The more widely its spoken, the more it may change into local dialects, which are not easily intelligible. People will make English their own and, in doing so, will make it something else. This has happened before to Latin which broke into French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and Romanian. But English has always weled variety and change, and it still does.32. What can we know about franglais from the first paragraph?A. French took in thousands of English in the Middle Ages.B. There werent many English words in franglais.C. It was seen as a national threat.D. French government forbade using English on any occasion.33. How many countries have recently taken steps to keep English out?A. 1B. 2C. 3D. 434. Which of the following best explains “unintelligible”?A. UnderstandableB. plexC. PowerfulD. Advanced35. Why does the author mention Singapore in Paragraph 4?A. To show English has a long history in Singapore.B. To tell us Singapore has decided to keep English out.C. To tell us Singapore English is quite different from official English.D. To show English has developed rich varieties.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。Every now and then, you may be struck with a difficult person at work or at home.
