第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)
第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
China is showing the world its great resolve in the global climate campaign with concrete and self motivated efforts as well as serious commitment.
At the opening ceremony of the Paris climate summit, Chinese President Xi Jinping restated China's plan made in June to cut its carbon emissions( 排放)per unit of GDP by 60 65 percent from 2005 levels by 2030, and increase non fossil fuel sources in primary energy consumption to about 20 percent.
With a large population, China is facing increasing resource limits, severe environmental pollution and a worsening ecosystem, and its citizens are also becoming increasingly aware of environmental problems.Suffering environmental problems and seeing the efforts as important to transforming its economic growth pattern, the country has much at risk if climate change is left unattended.
Actually, climate change efforts are already included in China's medium and long term program of economic and social development, and ecological efforts are the clear characteristics in China's 13th Five Year Plan(2016 2020)．
Although it is and will be a developing country for a long time to come, China has been actively involved in the global campaign against climate change, now topping the world in terms of energy conservation and use of new and renewable energies.
However, China's development rights need to be respected.It is unfair to overstress China's status as one of the world's largest greenhouse gas emitters and regard it as the major part of responsibilities in the global fight against climate change.
It is worthy of notice that China's emissions of greenhouse gases per person are far lower than those of developed countries, especially the United States, although rapid economic expansion and its population base have made it one of the biggest producers of the gases.
To show its great resolve, Beijing in September also announced the establishment of an independent South South cooperation fund of ￥20 billion to help developing countries affected by global warming.
While China is eagerly accomplishing its policy commitments, developed countries should stop questioning China's commitment to fighting climate change and pointing fingers, and start shouldering their due responsibilities instead.
1．China is self motivated to transform its economic pattern in order to ________．
A．top the world
B．fight against climate change
C．solve its population problem
D．respond to pressure from developed countries
2．The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 7 refers to ________．
A．China
B．the United States
C．economic expansion
D．the population base
3．It can be inferred from the text that ________．
A．China will completely use non fossil fuels by 2030
B．China will carry out its plan by stopping its development
C．Chinese emit more greenhouse gases than Americans on average
D．some developed countries are not taking on their due responsibilities
B
I work with Volunteers for Wildlife，a rescue and education organization at Bailey Arboretum in Locust Valley.Trying to help injured，displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking；survival is never certain.However，when it works，it is simply beautiful.
I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown.She had found a young owl(猫头鹰) on the ground.When I arrived，I saw a 2 to 3 week old owl.It had already been placed in a carrier for safety.
I examined the chick(雏鸟) and it seemed fine.If I could locate the nest，I might have been able to put it back，but no luck.My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree.
The homeowner was very helpful.A wire basket was found.I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable.I placed the chick in the nest，and it quickly calmed down.
Now all that was needed were the parents，but they were absent.I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks.These advertise the presence of chicks to adults；they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well.I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.
A nervous night to be sure，but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all！The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings.I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active.And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all—LUNCH！The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.
4．How would the author feel about the outcome of the event
A．It's unexpected. B．It's beautiful.
C．It's humorous. D．It's discouraging.
5．What is unavoidable in the author's rescue work according to Paragraph 1
A．Efforts made in vain.
B．Getting injured in his work.
C．Feeling uncertain about his future.
D．Creatures forced out of their homes.
6．Why was the author called to Muttontown
A．To rescue a woman.
B．To take care of a woman.
C．To look at a baby owl.
D．To cure a young owl.
7．What made the chick calm down
A．A new nest. B．Some food.
C．A recording. D．Its parents.

Known as “wolf girl” at her West Warwick, R．I.school, Alyssa Grayson has spent much of her young life teaching others to protect and respect animals.After starting a wolf club in the second grade, Alyssa learned all she could about her favorite animals.Today, she gives presentations about protecting wolves at libraries and schools—she's even spoken at a university.In fact, she's become such a wolf expert that she was appointed as the first junior advisor to the National Wolfwatcher Coalition.
When she's not teaching others about wolves, Alyssa can be found volunteering at her local animal shelter, taking care of dogs and cats.She's also trained as a citizen scientist for FrogWatch USA.In short, Alyssa Grayson proves that you are never too young to make a difference for animals.
When asked how she got interested in saving wolves, Alyssa says, “I've loved wolves since I saw them in a movie when I was 2 or 3 years old.Then one day I saw a commercial about wolf hunting.I asked my mother why people do this, and she told me because people don't like wolves.I decided from then on that I wanted to save wolves.”
Today, wolves are hunted, trapped, or poisoned.Hunters chase wolves for miles in an airplane until the wolves are too exhausted to run anymore.Then they shoot them.The animal doesn't have a chance to escape.Animals are also trapped for their fur.They are left to suffer in a trap with no food, water, or shelter.Alyssa thinks the fur looks better on the animal in the wild, where it's meant to be, than on a human.
Alyssa believes wolves are important to our worlds.She says, “Wolves are an apex predator, which means they are at the top of the food chain.Removing them from the ecosystem is a big mistake.The ecosystem is like a chain of dominoes (多米诺骨牌)—with the apex predator as the one in front.If you were to knock down that domino, the rest of the chain would go down too.”
People usually think of “the Big Bad Wolf” when they hear about wolves.However, Alyssa says, “If they would base their thoughts on facts, not fairy tales, we wouldn't have people wanting to kill wolves.”
8．According to the first two paragraphs, Alyssa ________．
A．gained knowledge about wolves at libraries
B．cares about other animals besides wolves
C．started to give presentations since the second grade
D．is the first junior citizen scientist for FrogWatch USA
9．Paragraph 4 is mainly about ________．
A．why wolves are killed
B．why wolves are trapped
C．the tools used to hunt wolves
D．how wolves are treated
10．From the last paragraph we can infer that Alyssa ________．
A．doesn't need fairy tales
B．doesn't believe in fairy tales
C．encourages people to find out the facts about wolves
D．believes that more people will work to save wolves
11．Alyssa is known as “wolf girl” at her school because ________．
A．she keeps wolves as pets
B．she was raised by wolves
C．she does a lot to protect wolves
D．she started a wolf club at her school
D
The survival of about one fifth of the world's vertebrates — animals with a backbone — is considered threatened, according to new research published in the journal Science.That's a large fraction of Earth's animals, but this new study held some good news too.Conservation efforts by humans have slowed the loss of many species of amphibians (两栖动物), birds, and mammals.Losses in these groups would have been about 20 percent greater had it not been for recent action of protection.
Among the animal conservation success stories is one about birds called Mauritius kestrels (红隼)．In the 1970s, just four of these birds were left in the world.Through a special breeding program, scientists were able to increase their number to about 1，000 and release them into the wild.
Humpback whales (座头鲸) have benefited greatly from recent conservation efforts as well.They were once on the International Union for Conservation of Nature's (IUCN) list of species threatened with extinction.But the species is now in less danger, thanks to laws that ban whale hunting.The IUCN even moved the humpback into “species of the least concern”．
Over the past 100 years, the white rhino (犀牛) of South Africa has also made an amazing recovery because of habitat protection.The breed multiplied from just 50 animals to about 17，000.Their home has been turned into a protected area, safe from poachers (people who hunt animals illegally) and other threats.
Stuart Butchart, one of the authors of the new study in Science, is encouraged by the positive effects of conservation.But he says, “Biodiversity (生物多样化) of species is in a frightening state.Its situation is getting worse.But our results show we can turn the situation around.”
New conservation policies hopefully are on the way.One hundred ninety three countries recently met in Japan at the Convention on Biological Diversity to set goals for preserving threatened wildlife and their habitats.Only 1 percent of ocean and 12 percent of land areas were protected under earlier agreements.Two new goals set by the group are to designate (指定) 10 percent of the world's ocean and 17 percent of land environments as protected areas to help increase endangered animal population.
12．Which of the following is not mentioned in people's conservation efforts
A．Habitat protection.
B．Breeding programs.
C．Laws of banning whale hunting.
D．Creation of studying organizations.
13．The author uses some successful animal conservation examples to show that ________．
A．conservation works
B．man conquers nature
C．animals are more important
D．law is fair
14．The purpose of the new goals set by the Convention on Biological Diversity is to ________．
A．protect ocean habitats
B．build land environments
C．increase the population of endangered animals
D．control animal population
15．What can we learn from the passage
A．Though there was a special breeding program, the number of Mauritius kestrels didn't increase.
B．Conservation efforts should not only be made by human beings.
C．Humpback whales are not on the International Union for Conservation of Nature's list now.
D．Because many groups are working to protect wildlife, natural habitats are in good condition.

Dad pushed his finger into my basket.“What's that？”he asked.“Mew, ”said the basket.
Dad suddenly pulled his hand away.“Oh no，” he said.“Not a cat.No way.”
I pulled Checkers from the basket.“It's not a cat.It's a kitten.Can I keep him Please？”Dad frowned for a minute, thinking.Then he rubbed Checkers under the chin(下巴)．“You'll have to take good care of him.”
I hugged Checkers.“I will，” I promised.“He won't be any trouble at all.” And Checkers wasn't—until he grew into a cat.He wanted to be the first one in the house—and the first one out of the house.Sometimes he blocked dad in the way.“That cat！”Dad complained.Checkers climbed onto our roof.He had no trouble getting down.Usually he aimed for Dad.“That cat！” Dad yelled.Checkers flushed the toilet and watched the water circle away.“That cat！”Dad was almost mad.Checkers hid in strange places.He liked to surprise people.
One day he hid under the couch(睡椅)．Dad walked by with a glass of orange juice.Checkers jumped out.He curled around Dad's ankle and attacked Dad's toes.Orange juice spilt all over the floor.Dad yelled and put Checkers outside.“Get out of my way, cat！” he said angrily.And he slammed the door.
Dad washed the injured toes and peeled open a bandage.He wrapped it around his big toe, and then he opened four more for his ankle.
I watched from the window.Checkers looked frustrated as he walked down the road.
“I'm sorry Checkers scratched you, ”I said.“He was just playing.He didn't mean to hurt you.”
“Don't worry, ”said Dad.“That cat will be back.”
After supper I called for Checkers.But Checkers didn't come.Nighttime came.I called and called.I knocked his food dish with a spoon loudly.But still no Checkers.I left the porch light on.But the next morning Checkers still wasn't there.
I carried a picture of Checkers to all the neighbors.I drew posters and hung them all over.But nobody found Checkers.
Days went by.Life wasn't the same without that cat.I was angry with Dad.I didn't think he missed Checkers at all.

Last Saturday morning, a severe earthquake suddenly happened.I was reading in the room when the light, clock, and many things inside were shaking.Meanwhile, someone shouted“Earthquake！” I rushed outside without hesitation.
Outdoors I heard a crash behind me and someone shouting“Help”，I looked back and found a house had collapsed.I, together with my neighbors, tried to find the one trapped in the ruins, using spades and even our hands.After a few minutes，we found an old man，his leg broken. We carried him to a safe place on a stretcher and waited for an ambulance.
Though tired，we were glad we had saved the old man.

Paragraph 1：
Then one night the phone rang. Not knowing what had happened, I just saw Dad's face light up.“We'll be right over, ”said Dad.Immediately, we drove to a nearby farm.The farmer opened the barn door.Out ran a black and white cat like a flash.I rubbed my eyes.“Checkers！” I cried.I scooped him up.And Checkers purred.“I miss you so much！”I said, rubbing noses with Checkers.The farmer smiled.“Good thing I saw that advertisement in the paper.”To my great surprise, I looked at Dad, wondering.“You put an advertisement in the paper？”
Paragraph 2：
Dad nodded, his face turning red.As Checkers jumped up and down around Dad, he patted Checkers gently.It was then that I realized Dad was not a little concerned about our cat.Checkers batted at him with his paw.Dad laughed.“That cat，”he said, “It's good to have him back.”And I, then, warmed up by these two family members, stood up for a while, with tears welling up in my eyes.

Humpback whales (座头鲸) have benefited greatly from recent conservation efforts as well.They were once on the International Union for Conservation of Nature's (IUCN) list of species threatened with extinction.But the species is now in less danger, thanks to laws that ban whale hunting.The IUCN even moved the humpback into “species of the least concern”．
Over the past 100 years, the white rhino (犀牛) of South Africa has also made an amazing recovery because of habitat protection.The breed multiplied from just 50 animals to about 17，000.Their home has been turned into a protected area, safe from poachers (people who hunt animals illegally) and other threats.
Stuart Butchart, one of the authors of the new study in Science, is encouraged by the positive effects of conservation.But he says, “Biodiversity (生物多样化) of species is in a frightening state.Its situation is getting worse.But our results show we can turn the situation around.”
New conservation policies hopefully are on the way.One hundred ninety three countries recently met in Japan at the Convention on Biological Diversity to set goals for preserving threatened wildlife and their habitats.Only 1 percent of ocean and 12 percent of land areas were protected under earlier agreements.Two new goals set by the group are to designate (指定) 10 percent of the world's ocean and 17 percent of land environments as protected areas to help increase endangered animal population.
12．Which of the following is not mentioned in people's conservation efforts
A．Habitat protection.
B．Breeding programs.
C．Laws of banning whale hunting.
D．Creation of studying organizations.
13．The author uses some successful animal conservation examples to show that ________．
A．conservation works
B．man conquers nature
C．animals are more important
D．law is fair
14．The purpose of the new goals set by the Convention on Biological Diversity is to ________．
A．protect ocean habitats
B．build land environments
C．increase the population of endangered animals
D．control animal population
15．What can we learn from the passage
A．Though there was a special breeding program, the number of Mauritius kestrels didn't increase.
B．Conservation efforts should not only be made by human beings.
C．Humpback whales are not on the International Union for Conservation of Nature's list now.
D．Because many groups are working to protect wildlife, natural habitats are in good condition.

Dad pushed his finger into my basket.“What's that？”he asked.“Mew, ”said the basket.
Dad suddenly pulled his hand away.“Oh no，” he said.“Not a cat.No way.”
I pulled Checkers from the basket.“It's not a cat.It's a kitten.Can I keep him Please？”Dad frowned for a minute, thinking.Then he rubbed Checkers under the chin(下巴)．“You'll have to take good care of him.”
I hugged Checkers.“I will，” I promised.“He won't be any trouble at all.” And Checkers wasn't—until he grew into a cat.He wanted to be the first one in the house—and the first one out of the house.Sometimes he blocked dad in the way.“That cat！”Dad complained.Checkers climbed onto our roof.He had no trouble getting down.Usually he aimed for Dad.“That cat！” Dad yelled.Checkers flushed the toilet and watched the water circle away.“That cat！”Dad was almost mad.Checkers hid in strange places.He liked to surprise people.
One day he hid under the couch(睡椅)．Dad walked by with a glass of orange juice.Checkers jumped out.He curled around Dad's ankle and attacked Dad's toes.Orange juice spilt all over the floor.Dad yelled and put Checkers outside.“Get out of my way, cat！” he said angrily.And he slammed the door.
Dad washed the injured toes and peeled open a bandage.He wrapped it around his big toe, and then he opened four more for his ankle.
I watched from the window.Checkers looked frustrated as he walked down the road.
“I'm sorry Checkers scratched you, ”I said.“He was just playing.He didn't mean to hurt you.”
“Don't worry, ”said Dad.“That cat will be back.”
After supper I called for Checkers.But Checkers didn't come.Nighttime came.I called and called.I knocked his food dish with a spoon loudly.But still no Checkers.I left the porch light on.But the next morning Checkers still wasn't there.
I carried a picture of Checkers to all the neighbors.I drew posters and hung them all over.But nobody found Checkers.
Days went by.Life wasn't the same without that cat.I was angry with Dad.I didn't think he missed Checkers at all.

Last Saturday morning, a severe earthquake suddenly happened.I was reading in the room when the light, clock, and many things inside were shaking.Meanwhile, someone shouted“Earthquake！” I rushed outside without hesitation.
Outdoors I heard a crash behind me and someone shouting“Help”，I looked back and found a house had collapsed.I, together with my neighbors, tried to find the one trapped in the ruins, using spades and even our hands.After a few minutes，we found an old man，his leg broken. We carried him to a safe place on a stretcher and waited for an ambulance.
Though tired，we were glad we had saved the old man.
【故事续写】
Paragraph 1：
Then one night the phone rang. Not knowing what had happened, I just saw Dad's face light up.“We'll be right over, ”said Dad.Immediately, we drove to a nearby farm.The farmer opened the barn door.Out ran a black and white cat like a flash.I rubbed my eyes.“Checkers！” I cried.I scooped him up.And Checkers purred.“I miss you so much！”I said, rubbing noses with Checkers.The farmer smiled.“Good thing I saw that advertisement in the paper.”To my great surprise, I looked at Dad, wondering.“You put an advertisement in the paper？”
Paragraph 2：
Dad nodded, his face turning red.As Checkers jumped up and down around Dad, he patted Checkers gently.It was then that I realized Dad was not a little concerned about our cat.Checkers batted at him with his paw.Dad laughed.“That cat，”he said, “It's good to have him back.”And I, then, warmed up by these two family members, stood up for a while, with tears welling up in my eyes.
