environment, making it hard for animals to live on the planet. we have been killing animals for their fur, feathers or meat, or simply because they are dangerous. as a result, many kinds of animals have disappeared forever. hundreds more are on the endangered list today.should we care about animals? of course we should. if animals of a certain kind all disappear, they will never come back again. animals are more than just resources of things we need. every kind of animal has its place in the balance of nature. destroying any kind of animal can lead to many problems. for example, when farmers killed large numbers of hawks(鹰)，the corn and grain that the farmers stored were destroyed by rats and mice. why？because hawks eat rats and mice. with less and less hawks to keep down their numbers, rats and mice multiplied quickly. and if people kill too many birds, the fields will be bothered with insects. it is because birds eat insects. when there are less and less birds, more and more insects will eat the crops.luckily, weve realized that we shouldnt kill animals any more. and people are working hard to save those animals that would disappear soon. the government also passed laws to protect the endangered animals. in fact, quite a few countries have passed such laws. these laws forbid the killing of any kind of animal on the endangered list. we should try our best to protect and save the endangered animals.21. why do people kill animals?a. animals cause endless trouble.b. they kill animals for something they need.c. animals destroy their natural balance.d. they kill animals to control their number.22. the example that farmers killed hawks shows that _ .a. there are too many rats and miceb. animals are very beautiful and interestingc. animals are good food resourcesd. every kind of animal is very important in nature23. what can be learned from this text?a. killing off one kind of animals would cause some new problems.b. the endangered animals should be kept away from people.c. people cared much about animals because they relied on them.d. the number of dangerous animals increased too fast in the past.24. what is the authors attitude towards the future of endangered animals?a. doubtful.b. uncaring.c. optimistic.d. negative.bsome people preserve their tradition and old ways of life wherever they go. they eat the same food from childhood. they follow traditional religious ceremony even when they have moved away. some people adapt a bit, but some people i know never adapt to a new environment.in england, there are places where the english language is not needed as people have formed their own communities, where most of the residents are from the same background. some people do not feel the need to adapt or fit in the mainstream society as their community is complete with community school, supermarkets, and places of worship.when my son was small, it was entertaining to be creative with the seasons. i was trying to bring up a child with cultural awareness. it resulted in my vast collection of cheap commercialized new year red items, and my effort in creating chinese new year atmosphere in a foreign land. perhaps i was trying too hard.having lived in england for nearly 20 years, im more used to the festivals and traditions here. ive changed a great deal and the most significant change is that i no longer eat rice every day. i dont even have a rice cooker anymore. now i eat rice occasionally and i cook it from a saucepan. just a few weeks ago, i left some rice cooking on the stove, made a cup of tea, and drank the tea in the chair next to my computer. halfway through typing i smelt something from the kitchen, i had burnt the rice. a chinese person had just burnt some rice. now i need a new saucepan as i couldnt remove the charred stains on the saucepan.25. why dont some people choose to fit in the mainstream society?a. it is difficult for them to fit in the new society.b. they dont accept the new way of life.c. it is useless for them to learn a new language.d. they have formed their own communities.26. what can we infer from the third paragraph?a. the author collected many red items.b. red is the main color in chinese new year.c. creativity is vital in bringing up children.d. peoples cultural awareness is becoming weak.27. which of the following can be the best title for this passage?a. do as the romans do.b. take things as they are.c. keep traditions in a foreign land?d. celebrate chinese new year abroad?ccrossing your legs is an extremely common habit. while you may find it comfortable to sit with one knee crossed over the other, it might be causing health problems that you are not aware of.a study published in blood pressure monitoring stated that sitting with your legs crossed can increase your blood pressure. the reason this happens is because the blood in your legs has to work against gravity to be pumped back to your heart, crossing one leg over the other increases resistance, making it even harder for the blood to circulate. you wont feel any immediate effects, but sitting for long periods of time will hurt you forever.crossing your legs can also lead to neck and back pain. ideally its best for our bodies to sit with our feet planted flat, hip width apart, on the floor, but its not easy to maintain perfect posture all day at the office. when you sit with your legs crossed your hips are in a twisted position, which can cause one of your pelvic bones(骨盆) to rotate. since your pelvic bone supports your neck and spine（脊椎）, this can cause pressure on your lower and middle back and neck.you also might notice that when you sit with your legs crossed for long periods of time your feet and legs get painful or have the feeling of being asleep. this is because when one leg sits on top of the other it causes pressure on the veins（静脉） and nerves in your legs and feet. it can cause numbness and/or temporary paralysis in the legs, ankles, or feet. while the feeling of discomfort may only last a minute or two, repeatedly crossing your legs until they feel numb can cause permanent nerve damage.so next time you sit down, try to get yourself in the habit of sitting with both of your feet on the floor. not only will it help your posture and stability, but it will also save your health in the long run.28. which of the following is not the consequence of crossing legs?a. neck and back get hurt.b. feet and legs become numb.c. blood pressure goes up.d. pelvic bones keep perfect postures.29. what does the underlined word “rotate” in para3 mean?a. break seriouslyb. hurt greatlyc. move casuallyd. straighten suddenly30. what does the text mainly talk about?a. how to choose a proper sitting postureb. it is advisable not to sit with legs crossedc. how to develop beneficial habitsd. blood pressure harms our bodies.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。really organized people are not born organized people. 31 , which then help
