moving,they take off and run.and cheetahs do like to run!they can reach speeds as high as 60 miles per hour.the cubs reach their top speed when they are about a year old. the national zoos first litter of cheetah cubs was born in november 2004.when almost a year old,those cubs weighed more than 30 pounds.zazis cubs stay with her for at least a year.when they are fully grown,the cats may be

be in danger.last summer,the percentage of laid eggs that successfully produced baby puffins took a dive.scientists also found a decline in the average body weight of the adult and baby puffins on machias seal island,home to the areas largest colony.over the winter,dozens of the seabirds from the region were found dead,likely from starvation.whats causing the puffin trouble?scientists think it may be a shortage of food.with ocean temperatures rising,fish populations have moved around.normally,puffins primary food source is herring,a type of fish.a lack of herring in the area could be causing the problem.butterfish from the south have become more abundant in the gulf of maine and could be a new food source for birds.but steve kress says butterfish may be too big and round for baby puffins to swallow.puffins spend most of their lives at sea.they come ashore to breed each spring and return to the ocean in august.the chicks swim to the sea about 40 days after hatching.puffin population stretches across the north atlantic,from maine to northern russia.maines puffin population has been at risk in the past.in the 1800s,they were hunted for their food,eggs and feathers.by 1901,only one pair of puffins remained in the state.thanks to the help of local lighthouse keepers and seabird restoration programs,the states puffin population has been restored to more than 2,000 birds.scientists arent sure what will happen to the gulf of maines puffins.the birds may move further north.kress says he hopes the gulf population will sustain itself and then he continues,“you never know what climate change will bring.historically fish could move out and more southerly fish could move in,and puffins may adapt to the new fish.only they know how the story will unfold.”24.the underlined phrase “took a dive” means .a.increasedb.arosec.reducedd.changed解析:词义猜测题。从第一段的句子“but the puffins may be in danger.”可知现在海鹦成功孵出小鸟的几率在减少。答案:c25.in scientists opinion, is contributing to the puffin trouble.a.a lack of herringb.environmental pollutionc.the increase of birdsd.the huge size of butterfish解析:细节理解题。从第二段的句子“a lack of herring in the area could be causing the problem.”可知科学家认为缺少鲱鱼是导致这一问题的原因。答案:a26.it can be inferred from the passage that .a.maines puffin once nearly became extinctb.maines puffins eggs were of high pricesc.baby puffins grew up quicklyd.the number of maines puffins is worrying解析:细节理解题。从文章第五段的句子“maines puffin population has been at risk in the past.”可知maine的海鹦曾经几乎要灭绝。答案:a27.judging from kresss words in the last paragraph,we know .a.climate change matters littleb.there is cause for concernc.the new fish wont harm puffinsd.puffins may move to the south解析:推理判断题。从最后一段的句子“you never know what climate change will bring”可知kress 认为有担心的必要。答案:bcif you are interested in animals,you probably hear about the tragedy at seaworld orlando.on february 24,tillicum,a six-ton orca(虎鲸),was performing with his trainer,dawn brancheau,who stood on a platform by his pool.they had done the same show together many times before,without incidents.this time,though,events took a terrible turn.without warning,tillicum leaped from the water,took hold of branchcheau by her hair,and dragged her deep below the waters surface.before other trainers could react,brancheau drowned.although known as killer whales,orcas are the largest member of the dolphin family.they are easy to train,and performances like tillicums have been done safely thousands of times.yet dawn brancheaus death is a shocking reminder of what can happen when human beings act together with wild animals.people begin to ask,“should orcas be kept in captivity(囚禁)?”yesworldwide,only 42 orcas are being kept by humans.scientists know very little about these huge sea animals,which are difficult to study in the wild.however,they do know that orcas are easily harmed by pollution.as our oceans become even more damaged by human activity,observing orcas up close helps us understand them and do a better job of protecting them in nature.“i think that some dangerous animals,such as killer whales,should be kept in captivity because it raises awareness about them and educates people about wild animals,” says lauren,12,a 6-grader from colorado.“keeping some in captivity will help protect their species.”noenclosed habitats can be painful to wild animals,and make them act in unpredictable,even harmful ways.“it is wrong to keep these animals in captivity,”says prathm,12.the 7th-grader from new jersey,adds,“they should live in their own habitats,not be used as entertainment slaves.”richard ellis,a marine conservationist in new york,agrees.“it is part of human nature to keep wild animals in small space and train them to do tricks,” he says.“i m against it because i think it humiliates the animals.”28.why does the author tell the tragedy of dawn brancheau?a.to introduce the topic.b.to express his sympathy.c.to describe the human-animal relationship.d.to warn people of the danger of keeping animals.解析:推理判断题。本题考查写作手法。第一段中的例子、描述现象、反问句等一般都是导入话题。故选a项。答案:a29.what can we infer from the text?a.it is hard to train orcas.b.orcas are rare sea animals.c.orcas habitat is being destroyed.d.many orcas are hunted each year.解析:细节理解题。根据第四段第三、四句话“however,they do know that orcas are easily harmed by pollution.as our oceans become even more damaged by human activity.”可知答案为c项。答案:c30.the underlined word “humiliates” in the last paragraph most probably means “ ”.a.makes somebody less intelligent b.makes somebody feel ashamed c.makes somebody physically weakd.makes somebody feel threatened解析:词义猜测题。根据前文“i am against it”可知男孩反对这件事,由此推断这件事带给动物的一定是不好的影响,再根据前文说让动物表演节目,可能会让动物感到尴尬,据此答案选b项。答案:b31.the text is mainly about.a.how to help animals live a better lifeb.how to develop friendship with animalsc.whether killer whales should be protectedd.whether animals should be kept in captivity解析:主旨大意题。根据文章结构可知第三段是文章的中心段,而第三段的最后一句话是本段中心句“people began to ask,should orcas be kept in captivity(囚禁)?”据此可知答案是d项。答案:ddwhen nature lovers all over the world wish all humans to realize the importance of their natural surroundings,many australians are turning caring for the environment into a way of life.julie astonis,an australian housewife in brisbane is one such example.even though autumn is approaching australias brisbane in april,one can still watch colorful blooming(盛开的)flowers in julies small garden,as she tells that in her community,“each of us has a beautiful yard.the whole community,from children to elderly people,take care of the environment as if they are taking care of their own garden.” “gardening is the most popular club in our community,” she says.“a lot of retired people dont just regularly organize gardening lectures,but also personally visit families in the community to provide gardening training.so you can see that flowers continue to blossom in our gardens throughout the year.”talking about her peoples sense of caring for the environment,julie says when people in the community take along their dog,they always carry a garbage bag to deal with the dogs waste.“in our community,you will never experience the embarrassment of stepping on the dirty waste while you are walking on the grass,” says julie with a smile.“taking care of the dogs waste can also help to develop childrens sense of responsibility!”as to protecting water resources,the australian government has made strict rules for families.julie says,“we certainly would not use tap water to water the flowers!” she says almost every family in her community has a huge tank used to store rainwater,which is later used as the resource of
