to be responsible for global warming.thanks to special bacteria in their stomachs, kangaroo flatulence(肠胃气胀) contains no methane(甲烷) and scientists want to transfer that bacteria to cattle and sheep who produce large quantities of the harmful gas.while the usual image of greenhouse gas pollution is a billowing smokestack(烟囱) pushing out carbon dioxide, farm animals passing wind contribute a surprisingly high percentage of total emissions (排放物) in some countries.“fourteen percent of emissions from all sources in australia is from enteric methane from cattle and sheep，” said athol klieve, a senior research scientist with the queensland state government.“and if you look at another country such as new zealand, which has got a much higher agricultural base, theyre actually up around 50 percent，” he said.researchers say the bacteria also makes the digestive process much more efficient and could potentially save millions of dollars in feed costs for farmers.but it will take researchers at least three years to isolate(分离) the bacteria, before they can even start to develop a way of transferring it to cattle and sheep.another group of scientists, meanwhile, has suggested australians should farm fewer cattle and sheep and just eat more kangaroos.the_idea is controversial, but about 20 percent of healthconscious australians are believed to eat the national symbol already.“its low in fat, its got high protein levels and its very clean in the sense that basically its the freerange(放养的) animal，” said peter ampt of the university of new south waless institute of environmental studies.语篇导读本文为议论文。为了减少导致全球变暖的温室气体的排放，澳大利亚科学家目前正在想办法将牛羊的胃变成袋鼠式的胃。24whats the main cause of global warming according to the passage?amethane.bcarbon dioxide.clivestock passing wind.dnot

to earn more money.cto protect australian ecosystem.dto make full use of special bacteria.解析 a细节理解题。根据第一、二段可知，袋鼠胃中有一种特殊的细菌能使其放的屁中不含有甲烷。科学家想将这种细菌移至牛羊的胃中，以抑制它们所排放的大量有害气体，故选a项。26what do the underlined words “the idea” in paragraph 9 refer to?aaustralians should give kangaroostyle stomachs to cattle and sheep.bthe bacteria could make the digestive process much more efficient.caustralians should farm fewer cattle and sheep and just eat more kangaroos.dthe bacteria could potentially save millions of dollars in feed costs for farmers.解析

school graduates can speak a foreign language.but four decades ago, 40 percent had foreign language skills.professor elise tipton, from the university of sydney, says increasing students do not feel the need to learn another language to boost their career.she believes that australias economic boom, which is driven by redhot demand for its minerals, is helping mask serious deficiencies(缺陷) in its language skills.australia does business very successfully in english with most of its trading partners.but as the worlds economic power shifts to emerging regions such as asia, its language gap could soon be exposed.according to the new figures, less than 6.5 percent of high school graduates are proficient in an asian language.academics worry that this means australia will increasingly be isolated from (和隔绝) its economically important asian neighbors, dilip dutta, from the economics and business faculty at sydney university, says language skills can enhance trading opportunities.if australians want to trade with asian countries, it is very important for them to learn the language that will help them to get closer to the culture.but students have different opinions about asian language learning.pippa mccowage, a 22yearold australian student, says many young australians have a halfhearted approach to foreign languages, and the language curriculum is often weak.“while were encouraged in high school to learn another language, its not really apparent to me as a realistic expectation that you will have to speak it，” said mccowage.“for example, i learned japanese in high school.when i went on an exchange in year 10, i found that the japanese students of my age had a much greater proficiency in english than i did in japanese.so in that sense, it almost discourages you.”at present, about 70 percent of australias major exports go to asia and the australian government has been keen on developing closer economic and diplomatic ties with asia.academics say that, as asia becomes one of the worlds economic powerhouses (经济体), australia needs to improve its language skills if it is to take full advantage of the business opportunities on its doorstep.语篇导读本文为说明文。澳大利亚人的外语能力在下降。学者担心，这意味着澳大利亚将与有重要经济地位的亚洲邻国隔离。27what can be inferred from paragraph 2?aaustralia has rich deposits of minerals.baustralia is essentially a selfsufficient country.caustralia has no intention to trade with asian countries.daustralian students are not required to learn a foreign language.解析 a推理判断题。第二段谈到了对矿物的迫切需求使得澳大利亚的经济繁荣起来，这种繁荣就掩盖了外语能力的缺陷，因此可以推断出澳大利亚的矿物储量丰富，故选a项。28what does dilip dutta think language skills can do?aimprove your relation with your partner.bhelp settle international conflicts.cremove barriers in negotiations.dincrease trading opportunities.解析 d细节理解题。根据第三段最后两句可知，dilip dutta认为好的语言能力能够增加贸易机会，故选d项。29why has the australian government been keenly interested in strengthening ties with asia?abecause asia is where australia is located.bbecause asia is where australias major exports go.cbecause asia is where australians go and spend their holidays.dbecause asia is where australia can play a big role in international affairs.解析 b细节理解题。最后一段指出澳大利亚70%的出口对象都是亚洲，因此澳大利亚政府非常愿意拉近和亚洲的经济和外交关系，故选b项。30what does the underlined word “faculty” in paragraph 3 probably mean?aoffice. bbuilding.cuniversity. ddepartment.解析 d词义猜测题。由于faculty后面提到在悉尼大学，因此faculty在这儿是“系、部”的意思，故选d项。第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。doctors say anger can be an
