武汉市2014高考英语阅读理解训练题（20）附答案london（reuters）- britain needs to spend up to one billion pounds a year to protect easily destroyed english wildlife habitats from climate change, intensive（集约）farming and population growth, a government-backed report said on friday.it urged the government to transform conservation policy in the next 40 years to avoid a devastating loss of the countryside that supports thousands of important plants, trees and animals. british ecologist john lawton, who led the year-long study, said englands wildlife habitats are too small and isolated to protect many species from increased strains in coming decades. creating a stronger, better connected network of well-managed habitats will cost between 600 million pounds and 1.1 billion pounds each year, the report estimated（估计）. failure to act could lead to the loss of areas rich with diverse species, such as meadows, wiids and rivers, the report said. centuries of human activity have helped to shape these habitats and they will need ongoing management if they are to survive, it said. the united nations called on world leaders this week to take bold action to preserve animal and plant species. it says the world is facing the worst losses since the dinosaurs vanished 65 million years ago. england has at least 55,000 species, including significant levels of bats, bumblebees, wildfowl and mature oak trees. the pace and scale of environmental change over the last 50 years was worrying and is likely to get worse, the report said. future threats include extreme weather, droughts（干旱）, rising sea levels and the loss of areas like wet grasslands to farming to feed a growing population, the report said. its authors made 24 recommendations to create stronger habitats. the measures include better management of habitats, setting up new ecological restoration zones and improved water quality and flood protection17according to the passage, which of the following is not the cause of the loss of

cold and difficult place. “they” did things to you which caused all of your pain and suffering. “they” are wrong and bad, and life is terrible as long as “they” are around. or you may blame yourself for all your problems, thus internalizing (内化) your victimization. the truth is, your life is likely to stay that way as long as you feel a need to blame yourself or others. those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently. they know there are individuals who might like to control their lives, but they dont let this get in the way. they know they have their weaknesses, yet they dont blame themselves when they fail. whatever happens, they have choice in the matter. they believe their dance with each sacred (神圣的) moment of life is a gift and that storms are a natural part of life which can bring the rain needed for emotional and spiritual growth. victims and creators live in the same physical world and deal with many of the same physical realities, yet their experience of life is worlds apart. victims relish (沉溺) in anger, guilt, and other emotions that cause othersand even themselvesto feel like victims, too. creators consciously choose love, inspiration, and other qualities which inspire not only themselves, but all around them. both victims and creators always have choice to determine the direction of their lives. in reality, all of us play the victim or the creator at various points in our lives. one person, on losing a job or a special relationship, may feel as if it is the end of the world and sink into terrible suffering for months, years, or even a lifetime. another with the same experience may choose to first experience the grief, then accept the loss and soon move on to be a powerful creative force in his life. in every moment and every circumstance, you can choose to have a fuller, richer life by setting a clear intention to transform the victim within, and by inviting into your life the powerful creator that you are.51. what does the word “they” in paragraph 1 probably refer to? a. people and things around you. b. opportunities and problems. c. creators and their choices. d. victims and their sufferings.52. according to paragraph 2, creators _. a. seem willing to experience failures in life b. possess the ability to predict future life c. handle ups and downs of life wisely d. have potential to create something new53. what can we learn from paragraph 3? a. creators and victims face quite different things in life. b. creators and victims are masters of their lives. c. victims can influence more people than

transformation from victims to creators.【要点综述】 “a victim”和 “a creator”拥有不同的生活方式。“a victim”生活在一个寒冷、痛苦的世界中；而“a creator”生活在一个积极向上、能够掌握自己生活命运的世界中。作者建议应从“a victim”转变成 “a creator”。51.

food，but what about warming people?using microwaves to directly heat owners of a room would save much of the energy wasted by heating walls and furniture.and despite popular ideas about microwaves，this technique would be safe，according to charles rburlier of the microwave research center in marlborough，new hampshire.lowpower microwaves only penetrate (贯穿)the skin (lowpower microwave penetration in a ham is about 0.2 inches，for example)and with no negative effects.to test this idea，buffler subjected himself to microwaves in a special room using a standard 500watt,2,459 mhz magnetron (磁控管)he found that a person will start to feel warmth at about 20 milliwatts per square centimeter (mw./ sq.cm.)；a satisfactory feeling of warmth occurs between 35 and 50mw./ sq.cm.by comparison，a person standing in noonday summer sun feels the amount of 85 mw./ sq.cm.and a frozen meat pie in your microwave oven receives about 1,000 mw./ sq.cm.in houses of the future，each room could be provided with its own magnetron，says buffler.when you stepped into the living room，for example，a motion detector (运动感应器)would turn on the magnetron，filling the room with lowpower microwaves.in the same way that a microwave oven heats up a hamburger，but not the plate its on，you would feel warmth from the microwaves without changing the temperature of your coffee table.you could，however，make your favorite easy chair even more comfortable by treating it with a radiationabsorbing chemical.while it might be some time before homeowners are comfortable enough with the idea to set up wholebody microwave heaters in houses，buffler says microwaves may attract livestock(家畜)farmers.lambs that are born outdoors in winter，for example，are frequently lost to cold.microwaves could warm the lambs safely and quickly.以约30词概括文章大意_.根据短文内容选择最佳答案1which of the following can tell the main idea of the passage?aa new heating system. ba new microwave oven.ca popular technique. dthe
