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。

Animals are natural resources that people have wasted all through our history.
Animals have been killed for their fur and feathers, for food, for sport, and simply because they were in the way. Thousands of kinds of animals have disappeared from the world forever. Hundreds more are on the danger list today. About 170 kinds in the United States alone are considered in danger.①
Why should people care Because we need animals. And because once they are gone, there will never be any more.
Animals are more than just beautiful and interesting.②They are more than just a source of food. Every animal has its place in the balance of nature (生态平衡). Destroying one kind of animal can create many problems.
For example, when farmers kill large numbers of hawks (老鹰), the farmers’ stores of corn and grain will be destroyed by rats and mice. Why Because hawks eat rats and mice. With no hawks to keep down their numbers, the rats and mice multiplied (繁殖)quickly.
Luckily, some people are working to help save the animals. Some groups raise money to let people know about the problem. And they try to get the governments to pass laws protecting animals in danger.
Quite a few countries have passed laws. These laws forbid the killing of any animals or plants on the danger list. Slowly, the number of some animals in danger is growing.

Rae Armantrout，who has been a poetry professor at the University of California San Diego(UCSD) for two decades，has won the 2010 Pulitzer Prize in the poetry category for her most recent book，“Versed”．
“I'm delighted and amazed at how much media recognition that the Pulitzer brings，as compared to even the National Book Critics Award，which I was also surprised and delighted to win，” said Armantrout.
“For a long time，my writing has been just below the media radar，and to have this kind of attention，suddenly，with my 10th book，is really surprising.”
Armantrout，a native Californian，received her bachelor's degree at UC Berkeley，where she studied with noted poet Denise Levertov，and her master's in creative writing from San Francisco State University. She is a founding member of Language Poets，a group in American poetry that analyzes the way language is used and raises questions to make the reader think.
In March，she won the National Book Critics Circle Award for “Versed.”
“This book has gotten more attention，” Armantrout said，“but I don't feel as if it's better.”
The first half of “Versed” focuses on the dark forces taking hold of the United States as it fought the war against Iraq. The second half looks at the dark forces casting a shadow over her own life after Armantrout was diagnosed with cancer in 2006.
Armantrout was shocked to learn she had won the Pulitzer but many of her colleagues were not. “Rae Armantrout is a unique voice in American poetry，” said Seth Lerer，head of Arts and Humanities at UCSD.
“Versed”，published by the Wesleyan University Press，did appear in a larger printing than her earlier works，which is about 2,700 copies. The new edition is scheduled to appear in May.
46. According to Rae Armantrout，________.
A. her 10th book is much better B. her winning the Pulitzer is unexpected
C. the media is surprised at her works D. she likes being recognized by her readers
47. Which of the following is true of Rae Armantrout
A. She published a poetry textbook.
B. She used to teach Denise Levertov.
C. She started a poets' group with others.
D. She taught creative writing at UC Berkeley.
48. What can we learn about “Versed”？
A. It consists of three parts. B. It is mainly about the American army.
C. It is a book published two decades ago. D. It partly concerns the poet's own life.
49. Rae Armantrout's colleagues think that she ________.
A. should write more B. has a sweet voice
C. deserves the prize D. is a strange professor
50. What can we learn from the text
A. About 2,700 copies of “Versed” will be printed.
B. Cancer made Armantrout stop writing.
C. Armantrout got her degrees at UCSD.
D. “Versed” has been awarded twice.

________________________________________________________________________
一、1. A sounds good是对一件事情的评论，而how nice通常表示“惊喜”。
2. C 由句意“人口增长的主要原因不是出生率的上升，而是死亡率的下降”。可知答案。
3. A 考查词义辨析。肉体的伤害用injured；而harm通常指情感上的伤害。
4. C in ruins为固定搭配，意为“废墟”。
5. A reach为及物动词，在此指“达到某个数量、标准等”。B、C两项均为不及物动词，get into陷入。
6. D 分析句子结构可知，引导词在定语从句中作定语。
7. A instead of为介词短语，而instead为副词。
8. C be buried in在这里意为“投入……中”。
9. A at an end意为“结束”，也可以说come to a stop。
10. C right away意为“马上（就到）”，符合句意。
11. D 此题考查定语从句中关系词的选择。题中从句部分缺的是bought的宾语，且为非限制性定语从句，所以只能用which。
12. C 考查交际用语。It's my pleasure.＝My pleasure.不要客气/不用谢。
13. D 依据题意，空格处应表示“结束，使……终止”，to后为终止的对象。
14. B 考查形容词辨析。pleased“感到高兴的，感到满意的”，常用于形容人，多作表语，用在be pleased with结构中；pleasant 令人愉快的，常用于形容物，多作定语。
15. D 考查不定代词及部分否定的用法。no one表示完全否定，not all表示部分否定。
16. A destroy 指彻底的、不能或很难修复的“破坏”，程度较深；damage 是程度较小的“破坏”；harm强调“有危害”；injure指“损伤，损害”。从后面的many deaths可知程度较深，故选A项。
17. D 此题考查短语the ruin of “……毁灭(堕落)的原因”和bring sb. to ruin“使某人失败；使倾家荡产”。句意：战争意味着我们希望的破灭，而且我们也被毒品毁了。
18. D bury oneself in sth相当于be devoted to sth意思是“全心致力于……”。
19. A 从第一句可知这个消息是特指，故第一个空用the；a shock“一件令人震惊的事”。

二、21~25 A B B D A 26~30 C B D B C 31~35 D B D B C 36~40 A D A C A

48. D 解析：细节理解题。根据文章中的The second half looks at the dark forces casting a shadow over her own life after Armantrout was diagnosed with cancer in 2006.可知D项正确。
49. C 解析：细节理解题。根据文章中的倒数第二段可知C项正确。
50. D 解析：归纳判断题。根据文章中的won the 2010 Pulitzer Prize in the poetry category
for her most recent book，“Versed”．以及In March，she won the National Book Critics Circle Award for “Versed.”可知D项正确。
四、 My sister saw a lovely cup when we shopping the other day. She liked it at once. Then
she bent down and picked up to look at price on it. As she did this，lots of tea splashed on

五、Greatest Love is Unselfish
During Wenchuan Earthquake in Sichuan Province, a rescue team found a teacher, dead for hours, and four school kids, safe with the protection of the teacher. And the teacher's greatest love gave everyone a great shock.
A very ordinary teacher would rather give his life to save and protect his students, for he knew that he was a teacher and should protect his students. As we know, when the disaster broke out, all the teachers in this earthquake area made their efforts to help and save their students, and this noble act shows that greatest love is unselfish. Facing natural disasters, sometimes we human beings may feel too weak, but just at this very moment, we will try everything to help others, even devote our lives to doing that.
After reading the news story, I was moved to tears. Greatest love is unselfish. The teacher's action illustrates our kind teachers' greatest love to their students.

She is a founding member of Language Poets，a group in American poetry that analyzes the way language is used and raises questions to make the reader think.
In March，she won the National Book Critics Circle Award for “Versed.”
“This book has gotten more attention，” Armantrout said，“but I don't feel as if it's better.”
The first half of “Versed” focuses on the dark forces taking hold of the United States as it fought the war against Iraq. The second half looks at the dark forces casting a shadow over her own life after Armantrout was diagnosed with cancer in 2006.
Armantrout was shocked to learn she had won the Pulitzer but many of her colleagues were not. “Rae Armantrout is a unique voice in American poetry，” said Seth Lerer，head of Arts and Humanities at UCSD.
“Versed”，published by the Wesleyan University Press，did appear in a larger printing than her earlier works，which is about 2,700 copies. The new edition is scheduled to appear in May.

2. C 由句意“人口增长的主要原因不是出生率的上升，而是死亡率的下降”。可知答案。
3. A 考查词义辨析。肉体的伤害用injured；而harm通常指情感上的伤害。
4. C in ruins为固定搭配，意为“废墟”。
5. A reach为及物动词，在此指“达到某个数量、标准等”。B、C两项均为不及物动词，get into陷入。

五、Greatest Love is Unselfish
During Wenchuan Earthquake in Sichuan Province, a rescue team found a teacher, dead for hours, and four school kids, safe with the protection of the teacher. And the teacher's greatest love gave everyone a great shock.
A very ordinary teacher would rather give his life to save and protect his students, for he knew that he was a teacher and should protect his students. As we know, when the disaster broke out, all the teachers in this earthquake area made their efforts to help and save their students, and this noble act shows that greatest love is unselfish. Facing natural disasters, sometimes we human beings may feel too weak, but just at this very moment, we will try everything to help others, even devote our lives to doing that.
After reading the news story, I was moved to tears. Greatest love is unselfish. The teacher's action illustrates our kind teachers' greatest love to their students.
