tre.A．a，d，c，b B．a，c，d，bC．d，c，b，a D．d，a，c，b解析：选D细节理解题。Fossey建立DigitFund是在1977年；她的故事被拍成电影是在1988年；她被杀害是在1985年；她建立Karisoke研究中心是在1967年。由此可知D项的排序是正确的。7．Theunderlinedword“poachers”inParagraph5probablyreferstopeoplewho.A．selldrugsagainstthelawB．huntanimalsagainstthelawC．hatesuccessfulpeopleD．liketodoharmtopeople解析：选B词义猜测题。根据最后三段中Fossey建立保护大猩猩的基金及她与poachers进行斗争可知poacher指“偷猎者”。8．FromthewordsonFossey'stombstone,wecaninferthat.A．FosseywasthepersonwholovedgorillasmostB．afterFosseydied,noonelovesgorillasC．FosseywasthefirstonetostudygorillasD．everybodylovesgorillasasFosseydid解析：选A推理判断题。写在Fossey墓碑上的这句话的意思是“没有人比Fossey更爱大猩猩了”，也就是说Fossey是最热爱大猩猩的人。CHaveyoueverthoughtaboutlivingina“green”house,onethatishealthyforyouandyourfamilyandhelpsconservetheEarth'sresources?Somepeoplewanttobuildanewhome,renovateanexistingone,ormakeafewchangesintheirlivinghabits.Everyhouseholdcandosomethingtosupporttheconservationoftheenvironmentandimproveourqualityoflife.Asenvironmentalconcernscontinuetoincreaseworldwide,usingmoregreenproductsintoourlivesbecomesmoreandmoreimportant.Thereisgrowinginterestingreenliving,andthepossibilitiesforachievingitinourhomesarerapidlyexpanding.Ourcompany'swebsitecanshowyoumoreaboutthat.BecausebuildingsneedenormousquantitiesoftheEarth'sresourcesintheirconstructionanddailyoperation,theyoffermanyopportunitiesforneweco­friendlydesignaswellascostsavings.TheGreenHouseshowsthecombinationofarchitecture,interior­design,andenvironmentalresponsibility.Homeiswheregoinggreenbegins—whereweasindividualshavethepowertosetanewcourseforabrighterfuture.Ifyouareinterestedinthese“green”houses,pleasecontactusandourcompanywillsendyoumoreinformationaboutthem.Andwe'resureyou'llhaveasurprise.E­mail：ghouseabc@126.comPhone：3567218/3567219Fax：3390231语篇解读：本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了有关“GreenHouse”的相关内容，意在宣传推销自己的产品。9．Themainpurposeofthepassageisto.A．remindpeopletoprotecttheenvironmentB．askpeopletobuya“green”houseC．giveabriefintroductionofthe“green”houseD．expressthewriter'sownopinionabouttheenvironment解析：选B写作意图题。文章主要介绍了“green”house以及与之相关的一些内容，其目的在于让人们买他们的产品。10．Fromthepassage,wecanlearnthattheGreenHouseshows.A．onlyinterior­designandouterappearanceofthebuildingB．thecombinationofarchitectureandenvironmentalimportanceC．theimportanceoftheGreenMovementD．thecombinationofarchitecture,interior­design解析：选D细节理解题。第二段第二句指出theGreenHouse展现了“architecture,interior­design,andenvironmentalresponsibility”的结合。11．Theunderlinedword“eco­friendly”inParagraph2probablymeans“”．A．friendlytopeopleB．goodforthedesignofbuildingsC．goodfortheenvironmentD．friendlytotheGree
