Fennec foxes are less than four pounds, but their ears are 5 to 6 inches long. Their ears help decrease body heat, and provide great hearing.Fennec foxes have thick fur. It keeps them warm during those cold desert nights. They also have long bushy tails that they use as a blanket. And the hair on their feet protects them from the hot sand in the daytime.Fennec foxes spend most of the day sleeping in their caves. When night comes, they come out in search of food.Like other foxes, fennecs eat both meat and plants. They like eating birds, eggs, insects, snails, fruit and leaves best.Fennec fox mothers have one to five babies at a time. The lifespan of a fennec fox is 10 to 12 years. The cream color of fennec foxes help them blend into their desert habitat. Humans catch them for their fur and to sell as pets.参考答案：1B2.C3.B4.B5.A6.B7.A8.C9.A10.B11.A12.B13.C14.B15.A16.B17.C18.B19.C20.A第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项A、B、C和D中，选出最佳选项。AAnyone whos ever been a maid of honor (伴娘) knows that weddings can make people feel extremely tired.But for one flower girl，even the thought of making her way down the aisle (过道)wore her out.Sixmonthold Rugbie played a flower girl role for her aunts wedding，but when it came time for her to make her way down the aisle，sleepiness overcame her.Her father，Joe Morman，posted a photo online of his baby girl making her way down the aisle fast asleep，falling back in the wedding wagon (小推车)pulled by her mom.“My daughter was supposed to be a flower girl in her aunts wedding，but napping is life，” said Morman.“About 20 minutes before the wedding she was getting tired，so I was holding her and singing to her so she would go to sleep and get a quick little power nap in before the wedding，” Morman explained.“But when it came time for the wedding，she wouldnt wake up for anything.She would open her eyes and look around then pass right back out.” We know that feeling.But of course，the wedding must go on.Rugbies mom，Lizzie，continued as planned，pulling her lovely daughter down the aisle in the wagon.“As soon as the wagon got to the end of the aisle and I picked her up，she opened her eyes and was ready to go，” the dad recalls.Luckily，the bride and groom thought it was funny.Plus，the bride was happy to share the public attention.Everyone else thought it was interesting，obviously.The little girls deep sleep actually surprised her parents.“She has never done that before and she is usually not hard to wake up at all，” Morman says.Well，now they know for next time.And while Rugbie was unable to throw the flower petals (花瓣)，we have a feeling that this cute girl will get herself another place in future family weddings.【解题导语】一个六个月大的小女孩本该在她姑姑的婚礼上做花童扔花瓣，却在中途睡着了；她非但没因这一幕受到责备，反而赢得了大家的喜爱。21From the text，we know that Rugbie _.Asuffers from a sleep disorderBwas upset to be a maid of honorCwas made a flower girlDthought attending a wedding was boring解析：选C细节理解题。根据第一段的内容“Sixmonthold Rugbie played a flower girl role for her aunts wedding.”可知六个月大的Rugbie在她姑姑的婚礼上做花童。C项正确。22What happened during the wedding?ARugbie fell asleep on her way down the aisle.BJoe Morman posted his daughters video online.CThe wagon pulled by a woman turned over.DLizzie sang a song to the bride during the wedding.解析：选A细节理解题。根据第一段的“.when it came time for her to make her way down the aisle，sleepiness overcame her”可知A项正确。23The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to“_”Athe brides attitudeBthe little girlCthe girls sleepingDthe wedding解析：选C代词指代题。根据最后一段代词所在句子的意思：很显然大家都认为这很有趣。然而这个小女孩的沉睡实际上让她的父母感到很惊讶。所以“it”在此指代的是“小女孩睡着这件事”，故选C。24What does the author intend to indicate by the last sentence?ARugbie didnt do well as a flower girl.BRugbie didnt want to throw the flower petals.CRugbie needs another role in the next wedding.DRugbie has become popular with many people.解析：选D推理判断题。末段最后一句话的意思为：虽然Rugbie没能扔花瓣，但我们觉得这个可爱的女孩会在未来的家庭婚礼中还会有其他的任务交给她。作者在此说这句话的意思不是指Rugbie的花童角色做得不好，也没有指向Rugbie扔花瓣的个人意愿，也不是说她需要在婚礼中担任其他的角色；而是暗指Rugbie赢得了很多人的喜爱，以至于在未来的婚礼中，大家还是愿意让Rugbie来参与其中。故D项最符合作者的意图。BBook towns started with HayonWye in the UK; now there are communities around the world that celebrate the written word.Biblo Toyen，OsloThis childrenonly library is aimed at 10 to 15 yearolds.Adults are not allowed in and must wait outside for their children to come out.The library is run along normal lines，with library cards for borrowing books，and is particularly well suited to children after the school day is over.After consulting young readers in focus groups，the designers have put a truck with a functional kitchen in the back (the library also runs activities including cookery courses) and a reading sofa.Books are arranged by themes，which means no book has a fixed location.At night，a drone (无人机) flies around the library to scan and update the books positions.Bellprat，Catalonia，SpainIn many ways，this small village is the ideal book town.It is in a beautiful rural setting in Catalonias Anoia region，yet only 90km from Barcelona.It has an attractive centre and its population is enthusiastic about throwing open its doors to bookloving visitors.Bellprat is also the first book town in Catalonia.During the towns main festivalon the first weekend in Juneseveral village houses are temporarily turned into secondhand bookshops，as there are not enough stalls (摊位)in the market.The books on sale are mainly in the Catalan language，however.As well as promoting the village，the book town label is used for good causes: at a recent festival，there was an activity in which books could be exchanged in return for donations to a food bank.Other bookbased events range from meetings and readings to events run by independent publishers.This is very much a communityrun book town.From simple beginnings in 2008，it now offers visitors more than 20,000 books for sale.This is impressive，given that the population of the village is under 100.【解题导语】书镇源自英国，现在已遍及世界各地，它们以拥有各式各类的书籍而出名。本文简略地介绍了两个书镇。25What may people see if they are in the library in Biblo Toyen?AAdults are picking up books for their children.BParents are drinking coffee while their children are reading.CAll of the books are in fixed locations.DA drone is working there at night.解析：选D细节理解题。根据Biblo Toyen ，Oslo部分的介绍“At night，a drone(无人机)flies around the library to scan and update the books positions.”可知，晚上有无人机在这个图书馆扫描和更新书的位置，所以D项正确。26What do we know about Bellprat?

Tomorrow，where global warming could soon turn the global climate (气候) into a new ice age，may never occur，according to a new research.The next ice age could be 15,000 years away，said European scientists who last month announced a continuous record of 740,000 years of climate data (数据) obtained from the Antarctic ice.Scientists from 10 nations have now almost completely drilled through a 3,000meter depth of ice high in the Antarctic mainland.They figure out that the area where summer temperatures can fall to 40 ，has at least 900,000 years of snowfalls，kept as neatly as the growth rings of a tree.And the ice and air caught in each layer (层) have begun to answer questions about the climate in the past.The results show that there have been eight ice ages in the past 740,000 years and eight warmer periods.And by comparing the pattern of global conditions today with those of the past，the researchers reported in Nature that the present warm period could last another 15,000 years.Research suggests that there is a very close connection between greenhouse gas levels and global average temperatures.It also shows that carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) levels are the highest for at least 440,000 years.“If people say to you：the greenhouse effect is a good thing because we would go into an ice age otherwise，our data say no，a new ice age is not hanging over our heads，” said Eric Wolff from the British Antarctic Survey.“Now we have eight examples of how the climate goes in and out of ice ages.and you can learn what the rules are that go into the climate models that tell us about the future.”Scientists found that whenever temperatures rose in the frozen record，so did carbon dioxide level.“In 440,000 years we have never seen such greenhouse gas get as thick as it is today，”said Dr Wolff.【解题导语】全文讲述了目前的温暖时期将会持续15 000年。28.In drilling through the ice in Antarctica，scientists have found that_.Athe lowest temperature there is 40 Bthe depth of ice is 3,000 metersCthe ice has existed for 15,000 yearsDsnowfalls are kept in certain patterns解析：选D细节理解题。由第三段第二句话“.has at least 900,000 years of snowfalls，kept as neatly as the growth rings of a tree.”可知D项正确。29.The information of the global climate conditions in the past can be obtained through_.Aseparating carbon dioxide from the airBexamining the growth rings of treesCcomparing different temperatures in different areasDstudying the ice and air caught in each layer解析：选D细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句话可知，每一层地层中所含的空气和冰含有关于过去的气候信息，故D项正确。30We can infer from Eric Wolffs words that _.Athere is something wrong with the dataBgreenhouse effect is always a bad thingCa new ice age will not come in the near futureDgreenhouse gas will get thick in the future解析：选C推理判断题。根据第六段首句Eric Wolff的话“. a new ice age is not hanging over our heads”可推知，在不久的将来，新的冰河时代不会出现，故C项正确。31What would be the best title for the passage?AResearch over the Antarctic AreaBWarm Period to Last about 15,000 YearsCReport on the Eight Ice Ages in the PastDHollywood Movies and the Global Climate解析：选B主旨大意题。全文讲述了目前的温暖时期将会持续15 000年，所以文章的最佳标题应该是B项。DScientists have found an unusual way to keep our planet from overheating.All you have to do is to throw a few comets (彗星) at Earth，and its orbit will be changed.Our world will then be sent to a safer，colder part of the solar system.This idea of improving our climate is the result of a group of American astronomers and engineers who say their plan could add another six billion years to the useful lifetime of our planet，effectively doubling its working life.The plan put forward by Dr.Laughlin，and his colleagues Don Korycansky and Fred Adams，involves carefully directing a comet so that it comes close to our planet and passes on some of its gravitational energy to Earth.Engineers would then direct their comet so that it passed close to Jupiter or Saturn.It would pick up energy from one of these giant planets.Later its orbit would bring it back to Earth ，and the process would be repeated.In the short term，the plan provides an ideal solution to global warming，although the team was actually concerned with a much bigger danger.The sun is sure to heat up in about a billion years which will destroy our biosphere (生物圈)by burning us up.The plan has one or two worrying aspects，however.For a start，space engineers would have to be very careful about how they directed their comet towards Earth.The slightest miscalculation (误算) in orbit could fire it straight at Earthwith frightful results.There is also a question of the moon，as the current issue of Scientific American points out.If Earth was pushed out of its current position it is most likely that the moon would be stripped away from Earth.【解题导语】科学家们发现的防止地球过热的方法是“向地球
