Many deer die of hunger. Others grow up small and unhealthy. In search of food, hungry deer move closer to where humans live. They eat farm crops, vegetables and even trees. Besides, increased numbers of deer near roads can cause traffic accidents.People admire the grace and fast speed of deer. Most people dont want these animals to be hungry and ill. Should people take action to control the growing deer populations?Should People Take Direct Action?Many people think that hunting(打猎) is the best way to control the animal populations. Wildlife managers will see if theres enough food in an area and decide its carrying capacity(容量). Then hunters with licenses are sent to help control the number of deer. Hunting is usually not allowed in cities or suburbs, however.Some people have the idea to catch the deer and move them to other places. But this method is expensive and requires finding another place that can accept the deer without breaking the balance of ecosystem(生态系统).Scientists are also working to develop chemicals(化学药品) to control the birth rate(率) in deer populations. But this plan works for only one year at a time.Should People Take Indirect Action?Some suggest bringing in natural enemies of deer, such as wolves, lions and bears, to areas with too many deer. But these animals could also hurt dogs, cats, and even humans. Other communities have built tall fences(篱笆) around areas to keep out the deer. However, this is impossible for farmers. Some people are against any kind of action. They support leaving the deer alone. Animal populations in an area naturally go up and down over time. Doing nothing means that some deer will die of hunger or illness. But finally, the population will reach a size within the carrying capacity(容量) of the environment. So, let nature go its own way.（1）According to the passage, increased numbers of deer can bring to people in the area. A . water pollutionB . traffic accidentsC . serious illnessesD . growing populations（2）Which of the following is the best to fill in the in the passage? A . Should People Do Nothing?B . Should People Protect the Deer?C . Should People Take Special Action?D . Should People Drive the Deer Away?（3）The writer most probably agrees that . A . farmers can build fences to keep the deer outB . people should leave the deer alone in the wildC . hunting is the best way to control the deer populationsD . its great to catch the deer and move them to other places（4）The writer organizes this passage by . A . telling storiesB . using numbersC . giving opinionsD . describing scenes (场景)15. （13分）阅读下列短文, 根据要求完成下列各题。Years ago, if a teenager(青少年) had some problems in his life, he might write them in his diary. Now a teenager with the same problems might get on the Internet and write in his blog(博客). In many ways, a diary and a blog are almost the same. So, what makes a blog different from a diary?The biggest difference is that a blog is much more public(公开的) than a diary. Usually, a teenager likes hiding his diary book and treats it as one full of secrets. Both diaries and blogs tell what happened to the writer that day.A blog has both good and bad points. The biggest problem is that anyone can read what you write in your blog. If you are not pleased with a friend during school and write something bad about him or her on the Internet, that friend may read your blog and get angry. So we have to be careful of what we write.A blog has good points, of course. People choose to write in blogs: they know that their friends will read what they write. If you are feeling sad one day and write in your diary, no one will know about it. If you write the same words in your blog, your friends may quickly write back to comfort(安慰) you or give their help. Blogs help people stay in close contact(联系) and let them know what their friends are doing.（1）In the past, teenagers wrote life problems _. But now they like writing problems _.（2）In many ways, a diary and a blog are _. Both of them tell _.（3）A blog has both _ points. _ can read what you write in your blog.（4）If you write _ about your friend in your blog, he may _ after reading it.（5）Where will you choose to write down your problems, in a blog or in a diary? Why?四、 七选五 (共1题；共5分)16. （5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。If you ever want to invite your foreign friend to dine out but are not sure what dish to order, _, better known as Kung Pao Chicken.
