When you were trying to figure out what to buy for the environmentalist on your holiday list,fur probably didn’t cross your mind.But some ecologists and fashion(时装) enthusiasts are trying to bring back the market for fur made from nutria(海狸鼠).
Unusual fashion shows in New Orleans and Brooklyn have showcased nutria fur made into clothes in different styles.“It sounds crazy to talk about guilt-free fur—unless you understand that the nutria are destroying vast wetlands every year,”says Cree McCree,project director of Righteous Fur.
Scientists in Louisiana were so concerned that they decided to pay hunters $ 5 a tail.Some of the fur ends up in the fashion shows like the one in Brooklyn last month.
Nutria were brought there from Argentina by fur farmers and let go into the wild.“The ecosystem down there can’t handle this non-native species(物种).It’s destroying the environment.It’s them or us,”says Michael Massimi,an expert in this field.
The fur trade kept nutria in check for decades,but when the market for nutria collapsed in the late 1980s,the cat-sized animals multiplied like crazy.
Biologist Edmond Mouton runs the nutria control program for Louisiana.He says it’s not easy to convince people that nutria fur is green,but he has no doubt about it.Hunters bring in more than 300,000 nutria tails a year,so part of Mouton’s job these days is trying to promote fur.
Then there’s Righteous Fur and its unusual fashions.Model Paige Morgan says,“To give people a guilt-free option that they can wear without someone throwing paint on them—I think that’s going to be a massive thing,at least here in New York.” Designer Jennifer Anderson admits it took her a while to come around to the opinion that using nutria fur for her creations is morally acceptable.She’s trying to come up with a label to attach to nutria fashions to show it is eco-friendly.
1.What is the purpose of the fashion shows in New Orleans and Brooklyn?
A.To promote guilt-free fur.
B.To expand the fashion market.
C.To introduce a new brand.
D.To celebrate a winter holiday.
2.Why are scientists concerned about nutria?
A.Nutria damage the ecosystem seriously.
B.Nutria are an endangered species.
C.Nutria hurt local cat-sized animals.
D.Nutria are illegally hunted.
3.What does the underlined word “collapsed” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A.Boomed. B.Became mature.
C.Remained stable. D.Crashed.
4.What can we infer about wearing fur in New York according to Morgan?
A.It’s formal. B.It’s risky.
C.It’s harmful. D.It’s traditional.

Researchers say they have translated the meaning of gestures that wild chimpanzees(黑猩猩) use to communicate.They say wild chimps communicate 19 specific messages to one another with a “vocabulary” of 66 gestures.The scientists discovered this by following and filming groups of chimps in Uganda,and examining more than 5,000 incidents of these meaningful exchanges.
Dr Catherine Hobaiter,who led the research,said that this was the only form of intentional communication to be recorded in the animal kingdom.Only humans and chimps,she said,had a system of communication where they deliberately sent a message to another group member.
“That’s what’s so amazing about chimp gestures,” she said.“They’re the only thing that looks like human language in that respect.”
Although previous research has shown that apes and monkeys can understand complex information from another animal’s call,the animals do not appear to use their voices intentionally to communicate messages.This was a significant difference between calls and gestures,Dr Hobaiter said.
Chimps will check to see if they have the attention of the animal with which they wish to communicate.In one case,a mother presents her foot to her crying baby,signalling: “Climb on me.” The youngster immediately jumps on to its mother’s back and they travel off together.“The big message from this study is that there is another species (物种) out there that is meaningful in its communication,so that’s not unique to humans,” said Dr Hobaiter.
Dr Susanne Shultz,an evolutionary biologist from the University of Manchester, said the study was praiseworthy in seeking to enrich our knowledge of the evolution of human language.But,she added,the results were “a little disappointing”.
“The vagueness of the gesture meanings suggests either that the chimps have little to communicate,or we are still missing a lot of the information contained in their gestures and actions,” she said.“Moreover,the meanings seem to not go beyond what other animals convey with non-verbal communication.So,it seems the gulf remains.”
5.What do chimps and humans have in common according to Dr Hobaiter?
A.Memorizing specific words.
B.Understanding complex information.
C.Using voices to communicate.
D.Communicating messages on purpose.
6.What did Dr Shultz think of the study?
A.It was well designed but poorly conducted.
B.It was a good try but the findings were limited.
C.It was inspiring but the evidence was unreliable.
D.It was a failure but the methods deserved praise.
7.What does the underlined word “gulf” in the last paragraph mean?
A.Difference. B.Conflict.
C.Balance. D.Connection.
8.Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A.Chimpanzee behaviour study achieved a breakthrough
B.Chimpanzees developed specific communication skills
C.Chimpanzees: the smartest species in the animal kingdom
D.Chimpanzee language: communication gestures translated

Easy Ways to Build Vocabulary
It’s not all that hard to build an advanced and large vocabulary.Like many things in life,it’s 1. ongoing process,and the best part of the process is that there’s enough room for improvement,2. means you’ll just keep getting better and better.Of course you have to work at it.You wouldn’t think that a few 3. (month) of exercise in your teens would be enough 4. the rest of your life,and that’s also true for building your vocabulary — you have to keep at it daily,and pretty soon you will find that you have an excellent vocabulary.?
One of the 5. (effect) ways to build vocabulary is to read good books.You need to 6. (real) read at least one good book a week,preferably a classic. This isn’t as hard as it 7. (sound),and it is far better than any other method because you improve your vocabulary while 8. (read) an interesting piece of literature.Another nice thing is that you learn both new words and 9.
(they) use unconsciously,meaning that you will tend to use the words 10.
(learn) this way in conversations almost automatically.?

Ⅰ.阅读理解
1.A 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Unusual fashion shows in New Orleans and Brooklyn have showcased nutria fur”和“It sounds crazy to talk about guilt-free fur...every year”可知,时装秀的意图是推销使人们无罪恶感的毛皮衣服。故选A。
2.A 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“the nutria are destroying vast wetlands every year”以及第四段中的“The ecosystem...It’s destroying the environment.”可知,因为海狸鼠破坏湿地进而破坏了环境,所以科学家对它们很担心。故选A。
3.D 词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“The fur trade kept nutria in check for decades”可知,几十年来,毛皮贸易使海狸鼠(的数量)处于控制之下。根据画线词后的“the cat-sized animals multiplied like crazy”可知,这种猫大小的动物疯狂地繁殖。由此可推知,20世纪80年代末海狸鼠市场瘫痪了。collapse的意思应是“崩溃”,故选D。
4.B 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“To give people a guilt-free option...a massive thing,at least here in New York.”可知,在纽约,穿毛皮衣服具有风险性。故选B。
5.D 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Only humans and chimps...had a system of communication where they deliberately sent a message to another group member.”可知,人类和黑猩猩的相似之处就是有目的地传递信息,进行沟通。故选D。
6.B 细节理解题。根据第六段“...the study was praiseworthy in seeking to enrich our knowledge...she added,the results were ‘a little disappointing’.”可知,她认为这个研究丰富了原有的知识,但还是有不足。故选B。
7.A 词义猜测题。上文表达的是目前研究所得关于黑猩猩手势表达的含义还没有超出其他动物的非声音方式所表达的含义,换句话说,接下来的研究需要进一步揭示所存在的不同。故选A。
8.D 标题归纳题。结合全文来看都围绕着黑猩猩的语言沟通系统进行阐述,而不是A项“黑猩猩行为研究学有重大突破”、B项“黑猩猩进化出特殊的沟通技巧”和C项“黑猩猩是动物王国中最聪明的物种”。故选D。
Ⅱ.语法填空
1.an 考查冠词。由语境可知,和生活中许多事情一样,积累词汇也是一个不断发展的过程,故用不定冠词an表泛指。
2.which 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,此处是非限制性定语从句,从句中缺少主语,故用关系代词which。
3.months 考查名词的数。month为可数名词,a few后加可数名词复数,故填months。
4.for 考查介词。be enough for sth.意为“对……已足够”。
5.effective 考查形容词。effective修饰名词ways,作定语。
6.really 考查副词。用副词修饰动词read,故填really。
7.sounds 考查时态。本句意为“这件事并不像听起来那么难”,描述的是一般事实,且空前为it,因此用sounds。
8.reading 考查非谓语动词。逻辑主语you与动词read为主动关系,故用现在分词reading作状语。
9.their 考查代词。use在此处是名词,故用形容词性物主代词their修饰。
10.learned/learnt 考查非谓语动词。learned/learnt作后置定语修饰words,表示“已学过的词”,words与learn之间是被动关系,因此用过去分词形式。
