But after the tribes first meeting with Westerners several decades ago, they were nearly wiped out; diseases brought by outsiders reduced the Suruis numbers from 5, 000 to about 250. Today, some 1, 300 tribe people live in 23 villages across 600, 000 acres. Though they are as likely to wear T-shirts and jeans as feathered headdresses, the Surui are determined to preserve and protect the tribal culture of their homeland. Now they are under threat again, from illegal logging and deforestation(滥伐), but this time its different. The Surui have put aside their bows and arrows and taken up a new weapon: the Internet. The tribe people learned to use the Web from their leader, Chief Almir Narayamoga. “We decided to use computers and technology to bring attention to our situation, ”says Narayamoga, 36. The first in his tribe to attend college, Chief Narayamoga learned how to use computers at the Federal University of Gois in Goinia, a city of 1. 2 million. In 2007, he fled the Surui homeland after his fight against loggers who placed a $100, 000 reward on his head. He traveled to the United States and paid a visit to Google headquarters in California. He came armed with a big idea. Narayamogas visit to Google was considered a great success. And Google sent teams to the Amazon to train the Surui in using computers, cameras, and smart phones to photograph logging sites, which could be pinpointed using GPS technology and then uploaded to Google Earth. The Surui have now mapped the entire reserve and recorded the biodiversity and the rainforest within it. 5. What caused the population of the Amazon tribe to reduce greatly? A.

CSince Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay climbed Mount Everest, Mount Qomolangmas peak is no longer a lonely place and is turning into a trash heap（垃圾堆）. So far, more than 350 climbers have successfully reached the peak. And they have complained about waiting for hours in the bottlenecks (狭窄路段) on the way to the peak,a situation that isnt just uncomfortable its cold and windy up there butdownright dangerous. If bad weather strikes, climbers can and do die.As a matter of fact, the dangerous crowds arent the only problem on Qomolangma. All those climbers need to bring a lot of gearand much of them ends up being left on the mountain, sometimes even the peak itself. Mount Qomolangma is becoming the worlds largest dump. Heres mountaineer Mark Jenkins writing in National Geographic about the state of Qomolangma: “The two standard routes, the Northeast Ridge and the Southeast Ridge, are disgustingly polluted with oxygen cans and torn tents everywhere.”But the good news is that some mountaineers are taking it upon themselves to clean up Qomolangma. Mountianeer Paul Thelen and his friend Eberhard Schaaf are part of the annual Eco Everest Expedition, which has been cleaning up rubbish from base camps to the peak since 2008. So far theyve collected over 13 tons of garbage.Some of that rubbish is even being used for a higher purpose. As part of the Mount Everest 8844 Art Project, a group of 15 artists from Nepal collected 1.5 tons of garbage brought down the mountain by climbers. Theyve transformed the cans and oxygen tanksand in one case, part of the remains of a helicopterinto 74 pieces of art that have already gone on exhibition in Nepals capital. Part of the profit from sales will go to the Everest Peakers Association, which has helped collect tons of rubbish on the slopes of the mountain. 9. What do we learn about the bottlenecks on the way to Mount Qomolangmas peak? A. They are relatively safe. B. They are often crowded. C. They are very easy to pass. D. They are sites of base camps.10. What does the underlined word “gear” mean? A. Equipment for climbing mountains. B. The food climbers brought onto the mountain. C. Some important machines used for the bottlenecks. D.

What can be the best title for the text? A. Eco Everest Expedition Proves Successful B. Qomolangma Has Become A Huge MessC. Test Yourself Against QomolangmaD. Recycle Rubbish On QomolangmaDThe Asian carp (鲤鱼), a species of fish brought from China to the US several decades ago, is a growing concern in the midwest state of Illinois. The number of Asian carp in the states waterways has soared in recent years, choking out many native fish species. But state officials hope to solve the problem, and also strike a blow against local hunger, by changing public attitudes towards the fish.Asian carp found in the Illinois River are large, much too plentiful, and, says Travis Loyd, deputy director of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. “Its ugly. The fish is not a pretty fish, ” he said. But Louisiana chef Philippe Parola strongly disagrees. “This fish is just as good-looking as a salmon (鲑鱼) or a lake trout or any others. So quit calling it ugly because its not ugly, its very palatable and very pleasing when you taste it.” he said.Asian carp is widely consumed in China, but most fish-eaters in the United States avoid it because they confuse it with native carp. These fish are bottom-feeders,which makes many people believe they are polluted by poisonous pollutants, including mercury (汞). But Asian carp, which are not really carp at all, feed on plankton (浮游生物) near the surface of rivers and lakes. That is why theyre often seen jumping out of the water.Another reason many Americans avoid eating Asian carp is that it is bony, and hard to sell in fresh fish markets. But Chef Creehan says when the fish is cooked, the bones come out easily, enabling food processors to package it as a ready-to-serve product. Better still, says Creehan: Asian carp is cheap. “The average price per pound of ocean fish is $6 a pound (or about $13 per kilogram) whole. This is looking at 12 to 20 cents (per pound, or about 26 to 40 cents per kilogram). So this is so affordable,” he said.13.Whats the main idea of the passage?A. Misunderstanding of Asian carp. B. Different opinions on Asian carp. C. Solution to Asian carp invasion.D. Comparison between Asian carp and native carp.14.Whats the writing method of Paragraph 2?A. By giving examples. B. By comparison. C. By stressing exceptional cases. D. By giving definition.15.It can be inferred from the passage that. A. Asian carp is poisonous B. Asian carp is not popular in ChinaC. Asian carp will be killed in America D. fish eaters in the United States dont like native carp第二节 （共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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项.Everything in our lives is in a state of change, including our likes, dislikes, ideas and so on.
