In a nutshell Part III Reading comprehension. (30 points)Section A：Passage OneExtinction is the disappearance, brought about by natural or unnatural means, of an entire species.Some species of plants and animals die out naturally because newer species are more successful at competing for food and living space. Others have become extinct because of changes in the planet or because of natural disasters (灾难). Dinosaurs（恐龙）, for example, may have died out because the climate became cooler maybe because an asteroid（小行星） collided（碰撞） with the earth and caused a big cloud of dust that blocked out（遮住） the sun.In todays world, however, species mostly become extinct or are threatened（威胁） with extinction because of humans. Humans hunt animals, destroy their habitats（栖息地）, and introduce other animals that prey upon（捕食） the endangered animals or compete for their resources. Among these factors, the greatest threat to plants and animals is habitat destruction.It is estimated（估计） that about 125 species of birds and 60 species of mammals（哺乳动物） have become extinct since 1600. Currently（目前）, there are approximately（大约） 1,000-1,100 species of birds and mammals that are facing extinction. If invertebrates（无脊椎动物） and plants are included, the total number of species in imminent（临近的） danger is around 20,000. Sample（浏览） the following internet activities and complete the tasks for each one to learn about two animals that no longer exist.The passenger pigeon was an attractive bird with a blue back and a pink breast（胸）that existed in huge populations. In fact, it may have been the most abundant（多的）bird ever to have lived. John James Audubon observed a flock of pigeons passing over a period of three days at a rate he estimated at over 300 million birds an hour. The passage of large flocks created a roar of wings that could be heard 6 miles away. The pigeons nested（筑巢）in long narrow colonies（聚居地）that could be 40 miles long and several miles across. They occurred throughout Eastern North America where they fed on acorns（橡树果实）and beechnuts（山毛榉实）. Early settlers in the United States developed a taste for passenger pigeon and commercial hunters devised（想出）many different ways of killing large numbers of the birds. They were suffocated（闷死） by burning grass or sulphur（硫磺） below their roosts (栖木); fed grain（谷物） soaked（浸泡） in alcohol（酒精）; beaten down with long sticks, killed with shotguns（猎枪）, caught in nets or trapped using a decoy（诱饵） pigeon tied to a perch called a stool（囮鸽的栖木） (this is the origin of the term “stool pigeon（囮鸽）”).1. What did passenger pigeons look like?2. Once, notable bird conservationist John James Audubon observed a flock of pigeons passing over a period of three days at a rate he estimated to be how many birds an hour? 3. Where did passenger pigeons live and what did they eat? 4. What were some of the ways that passenger pigeons were killed?The Great Auk was a 3-foot tall penguin-like（像企鹅的） flightless（不能飞的） seabird. It was a very fast underwater swimmer, but clumsy（笨拙的） on land. Hundreds of thousands of these birds lived in the North Atlantic（大西洋）. They were hunted between 1785 and 1844, mainly for their feathers which were used for mattress（床垫） and pillow stuffing （填料）. The last breeding （繁殖的） pair was killed by two fishermen, who also smashed the last egg.1. What well-known kind of bird did the Great Auk look like? 2. Where did they live? 3. When were they mainly hunted? 4. What is one of the main reasons why they were hunted? 5. Who killed the last breeding pair of Great Auks?46. Dinosaurs may have become extinct because of _ .A. a major earthquakeB. human factorsC. the change of climateD. the appearance of a new species47. Which human factor most seriously threatens the survival of animals?A. Human hunting.B. Habitat destruction.C. The introduction of rival （敌对的）species.D. The domestication（驯化） of wild animals.48. How many species of birds, mammals, invertebrates, and plants are endangered?A. 1,000.B. 1,100.C. 1,600.D. 20,000.49. According to Audubons estimation, the number of pigeons in that flock he observed could have been as large as _.A. 300 millionB. 900 millionC. 72 billionD. 21.6 billion50. All of the following are ways to kill passenger pigeons EXCEPT_.A. feeding them acorns and beechnutsB. trapping them with a stool pigeonC. killing them with shotgunsD. catching them in netsPassage Two“Cool” is a word with many meanings. Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the word has had many different meanings. “Cool” can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything.When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say, “Its cool.” You may think “Hes so cool,” when you see your favorite footballer.We all maximize (扩大) the meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of many words such as “new” or “surprising”. Heres an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall (瀑布) they had visited. On one students paper was just the one sentence, “Its so cool.” Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt.But the story also shows a scarcity (缺乏) of words. Without “cool”, some people have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some credibility (可信性). Can you think of many other words that make your life as colorful as the word “cool”? I can. And I think they are also very cool. 51We know that the word “cool” has had _. A. only one meaning B. no meanings C. many different meanings D. the same meaning 52In the passage, the word “express” means “_”. A. see B. show C. know D. feel 53If you are _ something, you may say, “Its cool.” A. interested in B. angry about C. afraid of D. unhappy with 54The writer takes an example to show he is _ the way the word is used. A. pleased with B. strange to C. worried about D. careful with 55In the passage, the writer suggests (暗示) that the word “cool”_. A. can be used instead of many words B. usually means something interesting C. can make your life colorful D. may not be as cool as it seemsSection B (2510 points)Directions: Read the announcement and write down the answers that follow the questions briefly.Dear Mr. Carter, As mentioned in my letter of August 9, I am planning to spend a few days in London next month, on my way to the United States.
