Many of us know about Russia's Lake Baikal from our textbooks, or by listening to Chinese singer Li Jian's hit song, Lake Baikal. But over the past decade, the world's deepest freshwater lake has been in the spotlight for an extreme sport.
Each March since 2005, about 150 people from around the world sign up for the Baikal Ice Marathon. They come to explore the lake's breathtaking beauty and challenge themselves in unpredictable conditions. The 26-mile (41.84-kilometers) journey starts on the lake's eastern shore. In March, the ice is a meter thick and iron-hard. Runners cross this frozen surface, finishing on the western side of the lake.
Known as the "blue eye of Siberia", Lake Baikal has exceptionally clear waters. This means its ice is almost perfectly transparent(透明的). "Seen from above, a runner on the ice looks as if he or she were jogging through space." The New York Times noted. The landscape might be beautiful, but it's also harsh. Strong winds blast(侵袭) across the lake and frostbite can occur within half an hour. Runners say the cold climate is what draws them. They want to test their limits.
"When you are in such an environment, you don't have cars around you, and you don't have the noise around. I think these extreme races allow you to be alone with nature." Alicja Barahona, a 64-year-old runner from the US, told ABC news.
The location offers some strange and unique characteristics for this marathon. The finishing line is visible from the start, but the endless white offers no progress markers. The race also ends with little fanfare(隆重的欢迎). Tourists crowding the ice are mostly addicted to snapping selfies(自拍) and just ignore the runners.
For some runners, the absence of audience makes the race more challenging, because it's lonely. They must fight with themselves. "You are alone on Baikal. It is your race. You are alone with yourself. All you need to do is to defeat yourself." Veronique Messina, a French runner, told the Telegraph.
1.What can we know about the Baikal Ice Marathon from the article
A.It takes runners from the northern end to the southern end of the lake.
B.It involves extreme weather and beautiful scenery.
C.It attracts more and more participants each year.
D.It is about 26 kilometers in length.
2.How does the Baikal Ice Marathon differ from other marathons
A.Only men are allowed to run in this race.
B.The runners are often distracted by tourists.
C.There are many progress markers on the ice.
D.The runners can see the finishing line from the start.
3.What is the most challenging part of the race for Messina
A.The cold climate. B.The long distance.
C.Loneliness. D.Noisy surroundings.
4.How many reasons are listed to show the loneliness
A.3. B.4. C.5. D.2.
C
After years of heated debate, gray wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park. Fourteen wolves were caught in Canada and transported to the park. By last year, the Yellowstone wolf population had grown to more than 170 wolves.
Gray wolves once were seen here and there in the Yellowstone area and much of the continental United States, but they were gradually displaced by human development. By the 1920s, wolves had practically disappeared from the Yellowstone area. They went farther north into the deep forests of Canada, where there were fewer humans around.
The disappearance of the wolves had many unexpected results. Deer and elk populations—major food sources(来源) for the wolf—grew rapidly. These animals consumed large amounts of vegetation(植被), which reduced plant diversity in the park. In the absence of wolves, coyote populations also grew quickly. The coyotes killed a large percentage of the park's red foxes, and completely drove away the park's beavers.
As early as 1966, biologists asked the government to consider reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone Park. They hoped that wolves would be able to control the elk and coyote problems. Many farmers opposed the plan because they feared that wolves would kill their farm animals or pets.
The government spent nearly 30 years coming up with a plan to reintroduce the wolvers. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service carefully monitors and manages the wolf packs in Yellowstone. Today, the debate continues over how well the gray wolf is fitting in at Yellowstone. Elk, deer, and coyote populations are down, while beavers and red foxes have made a comeback. The Yellowstone wolf project has been a valuable experiment to help biologists decide whether to reintroduce wolves to other parts of the country as well.
1.What is the text mainly about
A.Wildlife research in the United States. B.Plant diversity in the Yellowstone area.
C.The conflict between farmers and gray wolves. D.The reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone Park.
2.What does the underlined word "displaced" in paragraph 2 mean
A.Tested. B.Separated. C.Forced out. D.Tracked down.
3.What did the disappearance of gray wolves bring about
A.Damage to local ecology. B.A decline in the park's income.
C.Preservation of vegetation. D.An increase in the variety of animals.
4.What is the author's attitude towards the Yellowstone wolf project
A.Doubtful. B.Positive. C.Disapproving. D.Uncaring.
D
Sydney's Royal Botanic Gardens are to start a war on gray-headed flying foxes. These super bats(蝙蝠) have invaded(入侵) one of Australia's most famous public spaces. Officials have said that animals are destroying trees and have to be moved on.
The unwanted guests at Sydney's Royal Botanic Gardens look like tiny foxes with wings. Officials have estimated there are about 11,000 of them living in the harbor-side park. After inspecting the damage to dozens of trees they now believe there are twice as many as previously thought. Branches have been breaking under the weight of these furry invaders and their droppings have been poisoning(毒害) plants.
Help may well be at hand, however, in the shape of the ordinary garbage bin. The Gardens' director Dr. Tim Entwistle hopes the unpleasant sounds of crashing bin lids(垃圾箱盖) will agitate the flying foxes and force them to move on. “The way to disturb them is to use noises, so we've used the loud noises made by rubbish bins in the past. You can also use speakers as long as you move the noise around, and what we'll do is to have a series of noise, at the beginning and end of the day. What we've found in the past is that the flying foxes leave the Gardens and go somewhere else,” said Tim.
The gray-headed flying fox is Australia's largest bat. It flies around at night using its eyes and a powerful sense of smell to search for fruit and flowers. Officials at the Roval Botanic Gardens in Sydney have said they're optimistic that the unwelcome colony can be uprooted(使离开家园). If and when the bats do move to other parts of the city they will of course then become someone else's problem.
1.Why do people want to get rid of the flying foxes
A.Because the gardens are important public places.
B.Because they are polluting the city.
C.Because many garbage bins have been damaged by them.
D.Because they're threatening the survival of trees and other plants.
2.What are people doing to get rid of the flying foxes
A.Shooting them. B.Making loud noises.
C.Shaking the trees hard. D.Cutting some trees down.
3.Which of the following can replace the underlined word "agitate" in Paragraph 3
A.Excite. B.Kill. C.Disturb. D.Discourage.
4.What does the writer imply form the last paragraph
A.The bats will still stay in the gardens. B.Some other areas will have to deal with the bats.
C.The grey-headed flying fox often eats trees. D.The damage caused by the bats is serious.

The eight-year-old Carol lived with her father David, mother May and elder brother Rob. The little family happily lived in a beautiful village surrounded with beautiful nature. The village located on the top of the mountain, with beautiful views of the snowy mountain. Carol's house was built nicely and they grew a lot of plants. The family survived on growing seasonal plants. Their life was totally surrounded by nature and beauty.
While they lived a very happy life, Carol did not love the beautiful atmosphere of the village. She really wanted to move into the city and enjoy the city life. She wanted to shop, walk around the city, watch movies, eat in fantasy restaurants and cafes, etc.
However, there was hardly any chance that Carol's family moved to the city as they had everything in the village.
One day, Carol felt asleep during the early noon and she had a sound sleep. Of course, she had a strange dream. She saw her grandmother in her dream as a fairy and her deceased grandmother granted her a wish. Carol requested her that she should enjoy the city life as she always desired.
Grandmother understood the desire of Carol, but still wanted to convince her that peaceful village life was better than city life.
She told Carol, "Baby, you cannot have access to fresh fruits and vegetables from plants as you have at your home. You cannot breathe fresh air. You cannot play with animals. You can hardly find any trees. You will not find peace as you see here! Do you still want to go to the city "
Without hearing the concerns, Carol asked her grandmother to grant the wish. Her grandmother granted her wish but with a condition. Carol was told that she would only have 6 hours to spend in the city. Later, she would return to the village. Carol agreed.
Paragraph 1 :
Carol then found herself in the city with her friends. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Thanks again.

9.答案：
Paragraph 1:
Carol then found herself in the city with her friends. Carol and her friends went to see a movie. After that they ate delicious food in a restaurant and shopped in a huge mall. Carol was happy that she had the chance to experience the life in the city. Yet at the same time, she understood that everything told by her grandmother was true in the city. There was no peace and no silence; city life was fast and rushing. The air quality was not satisfying. She could hardly find any animal or even a tree.
Paragraph 2:
Carol's brother Rob was calling her for lunch and Carol woke up. She recalled what happened just now in her dream and realized that her life in the village with her family was far more wonderful than city life. Carol understood that she was now having a more joyful and abundant life. She shared her dream with her family while enjoying the fresh fruits and vegetables, and they laughed together.

Many of us know about Russia's Lake Baikal from our textbooks, or by listening to Chinese singer Li Jian's hit song, Lake Baikal. But over the past decade, the world's deepest freshwater lake has been in the spotlight for an extreme sport.
Each March since 2005, about 150 people from around the world sign up for the Baikal Ice Marathon. They come to explore the lake's breathtaking beauty and challenge themselves in unpredictable conditions. The 26-mile (41.84-kilometers) journey starts on the lake's eastern shore. In March, the ice is a meter thick and iron-hard. Runners cross this frozen surface, finishing on the western side of the lake.
Known as the "blue eye of Siberia", Lake Baikal has exceptionally clear waters. This means its ice is almost perfectly transparent(透明的). "Seen from above, a runner on the ice looks as if he or she were jogging through space." The New York Times noted. The landscape might be beautiful, but it's also harsh. Strong winds blast(侵袭) across the lake and frostbite can occur within half an hour. Runners say the cold climate is what draws them. They want to test their limits.
"When you are in such an environment, you don't have cars around you, and you don't have the noise around. I think these extreme races allow you to be alone with nature." Alicja Barahona, a 64-year-old runner from the US, told ABC news.
The location offers some strange and unique characteristics for this marathon. The finishing line is visible from the start, but the endless white offers no progress markers. The race also ends with little fanfare(隆重的欢迎). Tourists crowding the ice are mostly addicted to snapping selfies(自拍) and just ignore the runners.
For some runners, the absence of audience makes the race more challenging, because it's lonely. They must fight with themselves. "You are alone on Baikal. It is your race. You are alone with yourself. All you need to do is to defeat yourself." Veronique Messina, a French runner, told the Telegraph.
1.What can we know about the Baikal Ice Marathon from the article
A.It takes runners from the northern end to the southern end of the lake.
B.It involves extreme weather and beautiful scenery.
C.It attracts more and more participants each year.
D.It is about 26 kilometers in length.
2.How does the Baikal Ice Marathon differ from other marathons
A.Only men are allowed to run in this race.
B.The runners are often distracted by tourists.
C.There are many progress markers on the ice.
D.The runners can see the finishing line from the start.
3.What is the most challenging part of the race for Messina
A.The cold climate. B.The long distance.
C.Loneliness. D.Noisy surroundings.
4.How many reasons are listed to show the loneliness
A.3. B.4. C.5. D.2.

After years of heated debate, gray wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park. Fourteen wolves were caught in Canada and transported to the park. By last year, the Yellowstone wolf population had grown to more than 170 wolves.
Gray wolves once were seen here and there in the Yellowstone area and much of the continental United States, but they were gradually displaced by human development. By the 1920s, wolves had practically disappeared from the Yellowstone area. They went farther north into the deep forests of Canada, where there were fewer humans around.
The disappearance of the wolves had many unexpected results. Deer and elk populations—major food sources(来源) for the wolf—grew rapidly. These animals consumed large amounts of vegetation(植被), which reduced plant diversity in the park. In the absence of wolves, coyote populations also grew quickly. The coyotes killed a large percentage of the park's red foxes, and completely drove away the park's beavers.
As early as 1966, biologists asked the government to consider reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone Park. They hoped that wolves would be able to control the elk and coyote problems. Many farmers opposed the plan because they feared that wolves would kill their farm animals or pets.
The government spent nearly 30 years coming up with a plan to reintroduce the wolvers. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service carefully monitors and manages the wolf packs in Yellowstone. Today, the debate continues over how well the gray wolf is fitting in at Yellowstone. Elk, deer, and coyote populations are down, while beavers and red foxes have made a comeback. The Yellowstone wolf project has been a valuable experiment to help biologists decide whether to reintroduce wolves to other parts of the country as well.
1.What is the text mainly about
A.Wildlife research in the United States. B.Plant diversity in the Yellowstone area.
C.The conflict between farmers and gray wolves. D.The reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone Park.
2.What does the underlined word "displaced" in paragraph 2 mean
A.Tested. B.Separated. C.Forced out. D.Tracked down.
3.What did the disappearance of gray wolves bring about
A.Damage to local ecology. B.A decline in the park's income.
C.Preservation of vegetation. D.An increase in the variety of animals.
4.What is the author's attitude towards the Yellowstone wolf project
A.Doubtful. B.Positive. C.Disapproving. D.Uncaring.
D
Sydney's Royal Botanic Gardens are to start a war on gray-headed flying foxes. These super bats(蝙蝠) have invaded(入侵) one of Australia's most famous public spaces. Officials have said that animals are destroying trees and have to be moved on.
The unwanted guests at Sydney's Royal Botanic Gardens look like tiny foxes with wings. Officials have estimated there are about 11,000 of them living in the harbor-side park. After inspecting the damage to dozens of trees they now believe there are twice as many as previously thought. Branches have been breaking under the weight of these furry invaders and their droppings have been poisoning(毒害) plants.
Help may well be at hand, however, in the shape of the ordinary garbage bin. The Gardens' director Dr. Tim Entwistle hopes the unpleasant sounds of crashing bin lids(垃圾箱盖) will agitate the flying foxes and force them to move on. “The way to disturb them is to use noises, so we've used the loud noises made by rubbish bins in the past. You can also use speakers as long as you move the noise around, and what we'll do is to have a series of noise, at the beginning and end of the day. What we've found in the past is that the flying foxes leave the Gardens and go somewhere else,” said Tim.
The gray-headed flying fox is Australia's largest bat. It flies around at night using its eyes and a powerful sense of smell to search for fruit and flowers. Officials at the Roval Botanic Gardens in Sydney have said they're optimistic that the unwelcome colony can be uprooted(使离开家园). If and when the bats do move to other parts of the city they will of course then become someone else's problem.
1.Why do people want to get rid of the flying foxes
A.Because the gardens are important public places.
B.Because they are polluting the city.
C.Because many garbage bins have been damaged by them.
D.Because they're threatening the survival of trees and other plants.
2.What are people doing to get rid of the flying foxes
A.Shooting them. B.Making loud noises.
C.Shaking the trees hard. D.Cutting some trees down.
3.Which of the following can replace the underlined word "agitate" in Paragraph 3
A.Excite. B.Kill. C.Disturb. D.Discourage.
4.What does the writer imply form the last paragraph
A.The bats will still stay in the gardens. B.Some other areas will have to deal with the bats.
C.The grey-headed flying fox often eats trees. D.The damage caused by the bats is serious.

The eight-year-old Carol lived with her father David, mother May and elder brother Rob. The little family happily lived in a beautiful village surrounded with beautiful nature. The village located on the top of the mountain, with beautiful views of the snowy mountain. Carol's house was built nicely and they grew a lot of plants. The family survived on growing seasonal plants. Their life was totally surrounded by nature and beauty.
While they lived a very happy life, Carol did not love the beautiful atmosphere of the village. She really wanted to move into the city and enjoy the city life. She wanted to shop, walk around the city, watch movies, eat in fantasy restaurants and cafes, etc.
However, there was hardly any chance that Carol's family moved to the city as they had everything in the village.
One day, Carol felt asleep during the early noon and she had a sound sleep. Of course, she had a strange dream. She saw her grandmother in her dream as a fairy and her deceased grandmother granted her a wish. Carol requested her that she should enjoy the city life as she always desired.
Grandmother understood the desire of Carol, but still wanted to convince her that peaceful village life was better than city life.
She told Carol, "Baby, you cannot have access to fresh fruits and vegetables from plants as you have at your home. You cannot breathe fresh air. You cannot play with animals. You can hardly find any trees. You will not find peace as you see here! Do you still want to go to the city "
Without hearing the concerns, Carol asked her grandmother to grant the wish. Her grandmother granted her wish but with a condition. Carol was told that she would only have 6 hours to spend in the city. Later, she would return to the village. Carol agreed.
Paragraph 1 :
Carol then found herself in the city with her friends. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

9.答案：
Paragraph 1:
Carol then found herself in the city with her friends. Carol and her friends went to see a movie. After that they ate delicious food in a restaurant and shopped in a huge mall. Carol was happy that she had the chance to experience the life in the city. Yet at the same time, she understood that everything told by her grandmother was true in the city. There was no peace and no silence; city life was fast and rushing. The air quality was not satisfying. She could hardly find any animal or even a tree.
Paragraph 2:
Carol's brother Rob was calling her for lunch and Carol woke up. She recalled what happened just now in her dream and realized that her life in the village with her family was far more wonderful than city life. Carol understood that she was now having a more joyful and abundant life. She shared her dream with her family while enjoying the fresh fruits and vegetables, and they laughed together. Carol also developed love for plants, animals and beautiful nature.
