M:Here is a piece of news for bird lovers.Scientists have painted a long road,red,yellow,and white.They help to discourage the sea birds from wandering onto the highway.“The area is home to large crowds of birds that come to stay for the season.Young birds are often attracted to the warm road surface and get killed by the traffic,” biology student Hannah tells the broadcaster.The youngsters’ feathers are brown in colour.The dark-coloured road surface makes the youngsters hard to be noticed.As the number of tourists has grown,so has the amount of traffic on the roads.Biologist Kristen says the plan is to see how the birds respond to the multicoloured road this summer,and if it works,the idea could spread to other parts of the country.

My elephant adventures began in 1984 when,with our one-year-old daughter,my husband and I crossed the jungle in a jeep,sticking behind a lorry for comfort and company.The elephants standing like watchers on either side of the forest highway had us praying for our safety.One elephant made loud noise and angrily pawed (抓) the ground,warning us off.We raced away before they could attack.
It was wise to keep elephants at a distance.We heard stories of tourists whose jeeps were overturned,and a couple of photographers were killed because they moved too close.Elephants are misleading animals.They give people an impression of being quiet and kind,so tourists think it’s safe to picnic in the jungle.Yet angry elephants have knocked them down in seconds before they could take off.
Elephants might make life unpredictable and dangerous.It’s difficult for inexperienced environmentalists to even begin to grasp this reality.I’ve heard city people say “We humans are encroaching (侵害) on their forests.” But what’s the solution
When a poor farmer borrows heavily to plant a crop,he’ll do anything to protect it.His life depends on it.Elephants ruining an about-to-be-harvested corn field cannot expect to be welcomed like special guests.The battle between beasts and farmers is violent.
Experts are working on solutions to human-elephant conflicts (冲突).Some are sure to fail to like the plan to build electric fences around human settlements.Elephants rapidly figure them out and come in,around and over them.
There are more questions than answers,for sure.But as my husband said,“More people die in car accidents every single day,in every city on the earth.But they won’t take cars off the roads,will they ” So we need to seek practical ways of preventing elephant accidents.
4.What is the writer’s purpose in writing paragraph 1
A.To tell readers her family’s experience of elephant adventures.
B.To show readers elephants are angry and dangerous.
C.To introduce the topic of the whole passage.
D.To describe how her family keep away from elephants.
5.Why do tourists think it is safe to picnic in the jungle
A.They think elephants are quiet and kind.
B.They haven’t heard the stories of elephants killing people.
C.They like elephants too much.
D.They think they can race away in seconds.
6.What does a poor farmer do to protect his crops
A.Welcome elephants like special guests.
B.Fight with elephants for his harvest.
C.Stop planting crops.
D.Depend on elephants for his life.
7.What can we learn from the last two paragraphs
A.It is a good idea to build electric fences around human settlements.
B.It is impossible to find a solution to settle human-elephant conflicts.
C.We should first reduce car accidents to prevent elephant accidents.
D.It is our duty to protect elephants rather than kill them.
C
When an animal species is considered endangered,it means that the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has evaluated it as nearly extinct,which means that a majority of its population has already died off and the rate of birth is lower than the species’ death rate.Today,more and more animal and plant species are on the way to extinction because of a variety of major factors that cause a species to become endangered,and as you might expect,humans play a role in quite a few of them — in fact,the biggest threat to endangered animals is human encroachment (侵入) on their habitats.
Every species needs a habitat,where an animal finds food and raises its young.Unfortunately,humans destroy animal habitats in a number of different ways:building houses,clearing forests to get lumber and to plant crops,draining rivers to bring water to those crops,and making streets and parking lots.
In addition,human development pollutes the environment with all kinds of chemicals,which destroys food sources and shelters for the creatures and plants of that area.As a result,some species die out while others are pushed into areas where they can’t find food and shelters—to make matters worse,when one animal’s population suffers,it affects many other species in its food web,so more than one species’ population is likely to decrease.
Habitat destruction is the number one reason for animal endangerment,which is why conservation groups work hard to repair the effects of human developments—many non-profit groups like the Nature Conservancy are taking measures to clean up coastlines and establish nature preserves to prevent further harm to native environments and species around the world.
8.When is a species considered endangered
A.When the IUCN has noticed its population change.
B.When most of its population has died off.
C.When the species’ birth rate is close to its death rate.
D.When the species is losing its habitat.
9.What does the underlined word “lumber” probably mean
A.Gas. B.Food.
C.Chemicals. D.Wood.
10.What is being done to protect the endangered species
A.Calling for human development.
B.Raising money.
C.Establishing nature preserves.
D.Educating people.
11.What is the main idea of the passage
A.Habitat destruction causes animal endangerment.
B.Animals die out due to environmental pollution.
C.Measures need to be taken to increase species.
D.Non-profit groups are making great contributions.
D
Wildlife faces threats from habitat destruction,pollution and other human actions.Although protecting wildlife can seem difficult at times,even small actions in your own neighborhood can help protect many different animals.As the saying goes,“Think globally and act locally.” You can protect wildlife for future generations.
Create wildlife-friendly areas in your backyard.When choosing your lawn and landscaping,choose native plants that can provide food or living places for native wildlife.This will also help cut down on pollution.Add bird or bat houses to your yard or garden to attract these species and offer places to them to live in.
Avoid disrupting (扰乱) the natural ecosystem in your area.Non-native plants or animals can destroy habitats,particularly if there is no natural predator (捕食性动物) to keep the species in a certain amount.They can kill or disturb native plants that provide food and living places for wildlife.
Practice a greener lifestyle.By saving water and fossil fuels,you will be helping to protect the wildlife around you.Take public transportation when you can,turn off electric devices when you’re not using them,take shorter showers and keep your heat at or below 20℃ during the winter.Become knowledgeable about what can cause global warming,which disrupts migration patterns and habitats.
Buy products that are wildlife-friendly.Avoid products that are made from threatened or endangered animals.Keep in mind that some endangered animals are killed by traps,or hunters who are after other wildlife within the same habitat.
Talk to or write to policymakers about protecting wildlife.Write letters to a local newspaper.Discuss ways to help animals with friends and family members.
Limit the family size.Population growth is one of the major factors in habitat destruction.By living in established city limits and limiting the family size per family,the earth’s population will stabilize (稳定) and native habitats can be protected.
12.What’s the main idea of the first paragraph
A.It is impossible to protect wildlife.
B.You can protect wildlife by taking small actions.
C.Protecting wildlife needs ideas rather than actions.
D.Humans are big threats to wildlife in fact.
13.What should we do to protect wildlife
A.Stop non-native plants and animals destroying the natural ecosystem.
B.Know more knowledge about wildlife.
C.Increase the number of the population in the world.
D.Write letters about animals to your friends.
14.Which of the following can be taken as a greener lifestyle
A.Planting native trees in your backyard.
B.Keeping the water above 20℃ when you are bathing.
C.Taking a bus when you are going out.
D.Only eating vegetables.
15.What’s the best title for the text
A.Why global warming affects wildlife
B.Whether we are friendly to wildlife
C.What makes wildlife endangered
D.How we can protect wildlife

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Long ago,there was a big apple tree.A little boy loved to come and play around it every day.He climbed to the top of the tree,ate the apples,and took a nap under the shadow.He loved the tree and the tree also enjoyed playing with him.
As time went by,the little boy grew up and he no longer played around the tree.
One day,the boy came back to the tree,appearing sad.“Come and play with me,” the tree asked the boy gently.
“I am no longer a kid;I won’t play around trees anymore,” the boy replied,“I want toys.I need money to buy them.”
“Sorry,but I don’t have money.However,you can pick all my apples and sell them.Then,you will have money.” They boy was so excited that he picked all the apples on the tree and left happily.The boy didn’t come back after that.
The tree was upset.
One day,the boy returned and the tree was so joyful.“Come and play with me,” the tree said.
“I don’t have time to play.I have to work for my family.We need a house for shelter.Can you help me ” “Sorry,I don’t have a house.But you can cut off my branches to build your house.” So the boy cut off all the branches of the tree and left with delight.
The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy didn’t appear since then.The tree was again lonely and sad.
One hot summer day,the boy returned and the tree was delighted.“Come and play with me!” the tree requested.
“I am sad and becoming old.I want to go sailing to relax myself.Can you give me a boat ” “Use my trunk to build the boat and you can sail and be happy.” So the boy cut the tree trunk to make a boat.He went sailing and did not show up for a long time.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Many years later,the boy finally returned.
The apple tree is our mother.

非听力部分答案：
第一部分 阅读
【语篇导读】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍动物园Monster Zoo的有关事宜,其中包括Monster Zoo的概况、开放时间、门票、与饲养员会面以及咖啡馆等的情况。
1.C 推理判断题。根据Monster Zoo中的“Monster Zoo was founded...in October 1993”可知,Monster动物园作为一个繁殖区成立于1983年。1993年10月正式向公众开放,由此推知,动物园在成立十年后对公众开放。故C项正确。
2.B 细节理解题。根据Tickets中三个票价信息可知,A$ 28.50+A$ 28.50+A$ 51.75=A$108.75,也就是说“如果三个年龄分别为12岁、14岁和19岁的年轻人参观动物园,他们要付108.75澳元。”因此选B项。
3.C 推理判断题。本文在介绍动物园Monster Zoo的有关事宜,其中包括开放时间以及门票等信息,所以这篇文章最有可能来自一个旅游网址。故选C项。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了一家人进行的观看大象的丛林冒险行动,还讨论了大象与人类的冲突问题。
4.C 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“My elephant adventures began in 1984”可知,第一段是为了介绍整篇文章的主题,即:我的大象探险活动,故选C项。
5.A 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“They give people an impression of being quiet and kind...in the jungle.”可知,它们给人们安静友好的印象,所以游客们认为在丛林里野餐是安全的,故选A项。
6.B 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“His life depends on it.Elephants ruining an about-to-be-harvested corn filed cannot expect to be welcomed like special guests...is violent.”可知,大象毁坏了即将收成的庄稼地,就不能指望像特殊客人一样受到欢迎。野兽和农夫之间的战斗是激烈的。可知选B项。
7.D 推理判断题。根据最后两段,尤其是最后一段中的“So we need to seek practical ways of preventing elephant accidents.”可知,我们需要寻找可行的方法来预防大象事故。因此,我们应该保护大象,而不是杀死它们。故选D项。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章分析了人类活动导致动物栖息地遭到破坏,从而导致动物濒临灭绝的现象。
8.B 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“When an animal species is considered endangered,it means that...is lower than the species’ death rate”可知,当一种动物被认为濒临灭绝时,就意味着国际自然保护联盟(IUCN)已经将其评估为濒临灭绝的动物,这意味着它的大部分种群已经灭绝,而且出生率低于该物种的死亡率。由此可知,当一个物种的大多数群体都已经灭绝的时候,这个物种就被认为是濒危物种了。故选B项。
9.D 词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“Unfortunately,humans destroy animal habitats in a number of different ways:building houses,clearing forests to get lumber and to plant crops,draining rivers to bring water to those crops,and making streets and parking lots.”再结合常识可知,人们砍伐森林的目的是得到木头和获得空间来种庄稼。由此推知,画线词的意思为“木头”,即D选项。
10.C 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“many non-profit groups like the Nature Conservancy are taking measures to clean up coastlines and establish nature preserves to prevent further harm to native environments and species around the world”可知,清理海岸线、建立自然保护区都是正在采取的措施,这些措施的目的就是保护本土环境和物种。故选C项。
11.A 主旨大意题。第一段首先说明了濒危物种的概念,然后在段末“in fact,the biggest threat to endangered animals is human encroachment on their habitats”点明目前导致物种濒危的主要原因:栖息地遭到人类破坏。根据第二段中的“Unfortunately,humans destroy animal habitats in a number of different ways”、第三段中的“In addition,human development pollutes the environment with all kinds of chemicals,which destroys food sources and shelters for the creatures and plants of that area.”和第四段中的“Habitat destruction is the number one reason for animal endangerment”可知,第二段到第四段主要分析了动物栖息地遭到破坏从而导致动物濒临灭绝的现象。由此可知,文章的中心就是在阐述:栖息地遭到破坏导致动物濒临灭绝。故选A项。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了几种保护野生动植物的方法和行动。
12.B 段落大意题。第一段主要讲述了虽然保护野生动植物有时看起来是困难的,但是实际上,我们完全可以采取一些小的行动来保护它们,所以B项符合该段大意。
13.A 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“They can kill or disturb native plants that provide food and living places for wildlife.”可知 A 项正确。
14.C 细节理解题。根据第四段的首句和其中的“Take public transportation when you can”可知,坐公共汽车出行是一种绿色的生活方式,所以C项正确。
15.D 标题归纳题。本文主要讨论了我们怎样在日常生活中采取一些小的行动来保护野生动植物,故D项适合作文章的标题。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了几个让花园充满活力和生机的技巧。
16.F 根据前句中的“Your garden will attract insects,bugs,birds and mammals.”可知你的花园会吸引很多的生物,F项承接上文,故选F项。
17.G 根据设空前两句“You need waves and long-living plants and strong curves of hedges and paths.It’s advisable to have the grass.”可知,此处是说你的花园里需要有长寿的植物、树篱、小径和草。G项承接上文,符合语境。故选G项。
18.E 根据前文中的“It’s important to provide water.Some animals can use even your pool to have a bath.Bees love shallow water.”可知很多动物需要水,因此你需要准备水,所以E项符合语境。E项中的pond与设空处后一句中的pond相呼应。故选E项。
19.D 本段主题句为Provide food.所以设空处的内容应与食物相关,D项中的bird feeder与本段主题呼应。故选D项。
20.A 设空处为本段主题句。根据本段内容可知一些物种不友好,所以要把它们赶走。A项中的Keep...away与后文中的keep...out相呼应。故选A项。
第二部分 语言运用
【语篇导读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。小女孩发现了两只饥饿的小鸟,一开始把它们养在笼子里,后来意识到鸟儿最需要的是自由,于是将小鸟放生。故事告诉我们:令爱常驻的方法是赠予对方一双翅膀。
21.D 由上下文语境及常识可知,装鸟的笼子一般比较小,故选D项。
22.A 根据下文“One bird flew from the cage”这一句可知,一只鸟飞离了笼子,所以上文应表示“女孩使笼子的门开着”,故选A项。这里leave的意思是“使……处于某种状态”。
23.B 根据下文“As it flew close,she grasped it .”可知,小女孩非常害怕小鸟飞走,故选B项。
24.C 根据下文“Suddenly she felt the bird breathless.It was her desperate love that had killed it.”可推知,由于小女孩野蛮地抓住鸟,结果将小鸟捏死了,故选C项。
25.C 根据上文“she grasped it .”可知,小女孩抓住了小鸟,故选C项。
26.D 此处句意为“她注意到另一只鸟儿在笼边飞来飞去”,故选D项。
27.A 根据下文“She could feel its great for freedom.”这一信息可知,小鸟想要自由,因而会在笼子边飞来飞去,试图出去,故选A项。on the edge of“在……的边上”。
28.B 由后一句“It needed to fly into the blue sky.”可知,鸟儿非常渴望回到天空中,故选B项。
29.A 由上文“Suddenly she felt the bird breathless.It was her desperate love that had killed it.”可知,由于她粗暴的行为导致一只小鸟的死亡,因而为了不让另一只小鸟再受到伤害,她轻轻地将小鸟放回到空中,故选A项。
30.B 根据上文“The bird circled once,twice,three times.”可知,小鸟非常开心能够在天空中飞翔,故选B项。
31.D 由上文“Suddenly she felt the bird breathless.It was her desperate love that had killed it.”可知,失去小鸟对小女孩来说是一种损失,故选D项。
32.C 此处句意为“她不再关心她的损失,她希望鸟儿快乐”,故选C项。
33.A 此处句意是“突然,鸟儿飞得更近了,轻轻地落在她的肩膀上”,故选A项。
34.B 由上文“she grasped it .”以及文章大意可知,小女孩失去第一只小鸟就是因为握得太紧,因而失去爱的最快方法就是紧紧抓住它,故选B项。hold onto“抓住”;hold up“举起;阻挡;拦截”;take up“占据;从事”;take in“吸收;欺骗;领会”。
35.C 由本句前面“The fastest way to lose love is to it too tight”可知,与失去爱相对,令爱常驻的方法是赠它一双翅膀,故选C项。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇人物传记类文章。主要对一位美国著名的儿童作家——Joanna Cole进行了介绍。
36.most popular 考查形容词的最高级。根据“one of”和“of all time”可知,此空应该填形容词的最高级,popular的最高级是the most popular,故填 most popular。
37.has written 考查时态、语态。根据关键词“so far”可知,此句应该用现在完成时,又因此句主语She是第三人称单数,故填has written。
38.finally 考查词性转换。此处空白处修饰本句空后的部分,所以应该用副词。因此将final转化为副词形式,故填finally。
39.Therefore 考查副词。根据上文的 “had never been a book written for children about cockroaches”,表示从来没有为儿童写过关于蟑螂的书,空前后是因果关系,而且空后有逗号隔开,所以应该填一个表示结果的副词,therefore是副词,意为“因此”。又因在句子开头,故填Therefore。
40.following 考查非谓语动词。the following year为固定搭配,表示“第二年”。故填following。
41.success 考查词性转换。空前的its是形容词性物主代词,所以后面应跟名词。故succeed应该转化为名词形式success。故填success。
42.to think 考查非谓语动词。inspire sb to do sth为固定搭配,意为“激励某人做某事”。故填to think。
43.which/that 考查定语从句。此处questions是先行词,设空处为定语从句的引导词。questions表示事物,故用that/which引导从句。故填which/that。
44.an 考查冠词。experience当“体验”讲时,是可数名词,而且空后engaging的第一个字母是“e”,为元音发音开头,故应用an来修饰,表示泛指。故填an。
45.readers考查名词复数。此处指年轻的读者们,故填readers。
第三部分 写作
第一节
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to tell you how I feel after watching a report on CCTV about rare and endangered animals in the world.Looking at the alarming situation those animals are facing,I am deeply worried that they will soon die out if measures aren’t taken to protect them.It is surprising that these animals’ death mainly results from humans’ careless behavior.So what we should do is stop polluting and destroying animals’ habitats.
To do this,I hope WWF can try to raise people’s awareness of protecting animals and call on people to live in harmony with nature.Only by taking necessary measures can we save and protect these rare and endangered animals.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
Many years later,the boy finally returned.Tired,he returned to the apple tree.Seeing him,the tree said,“I’m sorry,boy,but now I have nothing for you.” “I don’t intend to get anything from you.With time going by,I come to realize nothing is better than a comfortable place to rest,” said the boy.Hearing this,the tree smiled with relief,adding,“My dying trunk is suitable for you.Please come here and rest.” The boy did as told and the tree smiled heartily.
The apple tree is our mother.When we are young,she tries to attend to and play with us.After growing up,we leave her for some reasons and only come back when in trouble.But she is always out there,devoting whatever she owns without complaint.It is our happiness,rather than rewards,that she desires.Therefore,try to put ourselves in her situation and show concern for her.

My elephant adventures began in 1984 when,with our one-year-old daughter,my husband and I crossed the jungle in a jeep,sticking behind a lorry for comfort and company.The elephants standing like watchers on either side of the forest highway had us praying for our safety.One elephant made loud noise and angrily pawed (抓) the ground,warning us off.We raced away before they could attack.
It was wise to keep elephants at a distance.We heard stories of tourists whose jeeps were overturned,and a couple of photographers were killed because they moved too close.Elephants are misleading animals.They give people an impression of being quiet and kind,so tourists think it’s safe to picnic in the jungle.Yet angry elephants have knocked them down in seconds before they could take off.
Elephants might make life unpredictable and dangerous.It’s difficult for inexperienced environmentalists to even begin to grasp this reality.I’ve heard city people say “We humans are encroaching (侵害) on their forests.” But what’s the solution
When a poor farmer borrows heavily to plant a crop,he’ll do anything to protect it.His life depends on it.Elephants ruining an about-to-be-harvested corn field cannot expect to be welcomed like special guests.The battle between beasts and farmers is violent.
Experts are working on solutions to human-elephant conflicts (冲突).Some are sure to fail to like the plan to build electric fences around human settlements.Elephants rapidly figure them out and come in,around and over them.
There are more questions than answers,for sure.But as my husband said,“More people die in car accidents every single day,in every city on the earth.But they won’t take cars off the roads,will they ” So we need to seek practical ways of preventing elephant accidents.
4.What is the writer’s purpose in writing paragraph 1
A.To tell readers her family’s experience of elephant adventures.
B.To show readers elephants are angry and dangerous.
C.To introduce the topic of the whole passage.
D.To describe how her family keep away from elephants.
5.Why do tourists think it is safe to picnic in the jungle
A.They think elephants are quiet and kind.
B.They haven’t heard the stories of elephants killing people.
C.They like elephants too much.
D.They think they can race away in seconds.
6.What does a poor farmer do to protect his crops
A.Welcome elephants like special guests.
B.Fight with elephants for his harvest.
C.Stop planting crops.
D.Depend on elephants for his life.
7.What can we learn from the last two paragraphs
A.It is a good idea to build electric fences around human settlements.
B.It is impossible to find a solution to settle human-elephant conflicts.
C.We should first reduce car accidents to prevent elephant accidents.
D.It is our duty to protect elephants rather than kill them.
C
When an animal species is considered endangered,it means that the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has evaluated it as nearly extinct,which means that a majority of its population has already died off and the rate of birth is lower than the species’ death rate.Today,more and more animal and plant species are on the way to extinction because of a variety of major factors that cause a species to become endangered,and as you might expect,humans play a role in quite a few of them — in fact,the biggest threat to endangered animals is human encroachment (侵入) on their habitats.
Every species needs a habitat,where an animal finds food and raises its young.Unfortunately,humans destroy animal habitats in a number of different ways:building houses,clearing forests to get lumber and to plant crops,draining rivers to bring water to those crops,and making streets and parking lots.
In addition,human development pollutes the environment with all kinds of chemicals,which destroys food sources and shelters for the creatures and plants of that area.As a result,some species die out while others are pushed into areas where they can’t find food and shelters—to make matters worse,when one animal’s population suffers,it affects many other species in its food web,so more than one species’ population is likely to decrease.
Habitat destruction is the number one reason for animal endangerment,which is why conservation groups work hard to repair the effects of human developments—many non-profit groups like the Nature Conservancy are taking measures to clean up coastlines and establish nature preserves to prevent further harm to native environments and species around the world.
8.When is a species considered endangered
A.When the IUCN has noticed its population change.
B.When most of its population has died off.
C.When the species’ birth rate is close to its death rate.
D.When the species is losing its habitat.
9.What does the underlined word “lumber” probably mean
A.Gas. B.Food.
C.Chemicals. D.Wood.
10.What is being done to protect the endangered species
A.Calling for human development.
B.Raising money.
C.Establishing nature preserves.
D.Educating people.
11.What is the main idea of the passage
A.Habitat destruction causes animal endangerment.
B.Animals die out due to environmental pollution.
C.Measures need to be taken to increase species.
D.Non-profit groups are making great contributions.
D
Wildlife faces threats from habitat destruction,pollution and other human actions.Although protecting wildlife can seem difficult at times,even small actions in your own neighborhood can help protect many different animals.As the saying goes,“Think globally and act locally.” You can protect wildlife for future generations.
Create wildlife-friendly areas in your backyard.When choosing your lawn and landscaping,choose native plants that can provide food or living places for native wildlife.This will also help cut down on pollution.Add bird or bat houses to your yard or garden to attract these species and offer places to them to live in.
Avoid disrupting (扰乱) the natural ecosystem in your area.Non-native plants or animals can destroy habitats,particularly if there is no natural predator (捕食性动物) to keep the species in a certain amount.They can kill or disturb native plants that provide food and living places for wildlife.
Practice a greener lifestyle.By saving water and fossil fuels,you will be helping to protect the wildlife around you.Take public transportation when you can,turn off electric devices when you’re not using them,take shorter showers and keep your heat at or below 20℃ during the winter.Become knowledgeable about what can cause global warming,which disrupts migration patterns and habitats.
Buy products that are wildlife-friendly.Avoid products that are made from threatened or endangered animals.Keep in mind that some endangered animals are killed by traps,or hunters who are after other wildlife within the same habitat.
Talk to or write to policymakers about protecting wildlife.Write letters to a local newspaper.Discuss ways to help animals with friends and family members.
Limit the family size.Population growth is one of the major factors in habitat destruction.By living in established city limits and limiting the family size per family,the earth’s population will stabilize (稳定) and native habitats can be protected.
12.What’s the main idea of the first paragraph
A.It is impossible to protect wildlife.
B.You can protect wildlife by taking small actions.
C.Protecting wildlife needs ideas rather than actions.
D.Humans are big threats to wildlife in fact.
13.What should we do to protect wildlife
A.Stop non-native plants and animals destroying the natural ecosystem.
B.Know more knowledge about wildlife.
C.Increase the number of the population in the world.
D.Write letters about animals to your friends.
14.Which of the following can be taken as a greener lifestyle
A.Planting native trees in your backyard.
B.Keeping the water above 20℃ when you are bathing.
C.Taking a bus when you are going out.
D.Only eating vegetables.
15.What’s the best title for the text
A.Why global warming affects wildlife
B.Whether we are friendly to wildlife
C.What makes wildlife endangered
D.How we can protect wildlife

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Long ago,there was a big apple tree.A little boy loved to come and play around it every day.He climbed to the top of the tree,ate the apples,and took a nap under the shadow.He loved the tree and the tree also enjoyed playing with him.
As time went by,the little boy grew up and he no longer played around the tree.
One day,the boy came back to the tree,appearing sad.“Come and play with me,” the tree asked the boy gently.
“I am no longer a kid;I won’t play around trees anymore,” the boy replied,“I want toys.I need money to buy them.”
“Sorry,but I don’t have money.However,you can pick all my apples and sell them.Then,you will have money.” They boy was so excited that he picked all the apples on the tree and left happily.The boy didn’t come back after that.
The tree was upset.
One day,the boy returned and the tree was so joyful.“Come and play with me,” the tree said.
“I don’t have time to play.I have to work for my family.We need a house for shelter.Can you help me ” “Sorry,I don’t have a house.But you can cut off my branches to build your house.” So the boy cut off all the branches of the tree and left with delight.
The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy didn’t appear since then.The tree was again lonely and sad.
One hot summer day,the boy returned and the tree was delighted.“Come and play with me!” the tree requested.
“I am sad and becoming old.I want to go sailing to relax myself.Can you give me a boat ” “Use my trunk to build the boat and you can sail and be happy.” So the boy cut the tree trunk to make a boat.He went sailing and did not show up for a long time.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Many years later,the boy finally returned.
The apple tree is our mother.

非听力部分答案：
第一部分 阅读
【语篇导读】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍动物园Monster Zoo的有关事宜,其中包括Monster Zoo的概况、开放时间、门票、与饲养员会面以及咖啡馆等的情况。
1.C 推理判断题。根据Monster Zoo中的“Monster Zoo was founded...in October 1993”可知,Monster动物园作为一个繁殖区成立于1983年。1993年10月正式向公众开放,由此推知,动物园在成立十年后对公众开放。故C项正确。
2.B 细节理解题。根据Tickets中三个票价信息可知,A$ 28.50+A$ 28.50+A$ 51.75=A$108.75,也就是说“如果三个年龄分别为12岁、14岁和19岁的年轻人参观动物园,他们要付108.75澳元。”因此选B项。
3.C 推理判断题。本文在介绍动物园Monster Zoo的有关事宜,其中包括开放时间以及门票等信息,所以这篇文章最有可能来自一个旅游网址。故选C项。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了一家人进行的观看大象的丛林冒险行动,还讨论了大象与人类的冲突问题。
4.C 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“My elephant adventures began in 1984”可知,第一段是为了介绍整篇文章的主题,即:我的大象探险活动,故选C项。
5.A 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“They give people an impression of being quiet and kind...in the jungle.”可知,它们给人们安静友好的印象,所以游客们认为在丛林里野餐是安全的,故选A项。
6.B 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“His life depends on it.Elephants ruining an about-to-be-harvested corn filed cannot expect to be welcomed like special guests...is violent.”可知,大象毁坏了即将收成的庄稼地,就不能指望像特殊客人一样受到欢迎。野兽和农夫之间的战斗是激烈的。可知选B项。
7.D 推理判断题。根据最后两段,尤其是最后一段中的“So we need to seek practical ways of preventing elephant accidents.”可知,我们需要寻找可行的方法来预防大象事故。因此,我们应该保护大象,而不是杀死它们。故选D项。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章分析了人类活动导致动物栖息地遭到破坏,从而导致动物濒临灭绝的现象。
8.B 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“When an animal species is considered endangered,it means that...is lower than the species’ death rate”可知,当一种动物被认为濒临灭绝时,就意味着国际自然保护联盟(IUCN)已经将其评估为濒临灭绝的动物,这意味着它的大部分种群已经灭绝,而且出生率低于该物种的死亡率。由此可知,当一个物种的大多数群体都已经灭绝的时候,这个物种就被认为是濒危物种了。故选B项。
9.D 词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“Unfortunately,humans destroy animal habitats in a number of different ways:building houses,clearing forests to get lumber and to plant crops,draining rivers to bring water to those crops,and making streets and parking lots.”再结合常识可知,人们砍伐森林的目的是得到木头和获得空间来种庄稼。由此推知,画线词的意思为“木头”,即D选项。
10.C 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“many non-profit groups like the Nature Conservancy are taking measures to clean up coastlines and establish nature preserves to prevent further harm to native environments and species around the world”可知,清理海岸线、建立自然保护区都是正在采取的措施,这些措施的目的就是保护本土环境和物种。故选C项。
11.A 主旨大意题。第一段首先说明了濒危物种的概念,然后在段末“in fact,the biggest threat to endangered animals is human encroachment on their habitats”点明目前导致物种濒危的主要原因:栖息地遭到人类破坏。根据第二段中的“Unfortunately,humans destroy animal habitats in a number of different ways”、第三段中的“In addition,human development pollutes the environment with all kinds of chemicals,which destroys food sources and shelters for the creatures and plants of that area.”和第四段中的“Habitat destruction is the number one reason for animal endangerment”可知,第二段到第四段主要分析了动物栖息地遭到破坏从而导致动物濒临灭绝的现象。由此可知,文章的中心就是在阐述:栖息地遭到破坏导致动物濒临灭绝。故选A项。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了几种保护野生动植物的方法和行动。
12.B 段落大意题。第一段主要讲述了虽然保护野生动植物有时看起来是困难的,但是实际上,我们完全可以采取一些小的行动来保护它们,所以B项符合该段大意。
13.A 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“They can kill or disturb native plants that provide food and living places for wildlife.”可知 A 项正确。
14.C 细节理解题。根据第四段的首句和其中的“Take public transportation when you can”可知,坐公共汽车出行是一种绿色的生活方式,所以C项正确。
15.D 标题归纳题。本文主要讨论了我们怎样在日常生活中采取一些小的行动来保护野生动植物,故D项适合作文章的标题。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了几个让花园充满活力和生机的技巧。
16.F 根据前句中的“Your garden will attract insects,bugs,birds and mammals.”可知你的花园会吸引很多的生物,F项承接上文,故选F项。
17.G 根据设空前两句“You need waves and long-living plants and strong curves of hedges and paths.It’s advisable to have the grass.”可知,此处是说你的花园里需要有长寿的植物、树篱、小径和草。G项承接上文,符合语境。故选G项。
18.E 根据前文中的“It’s important to provide water.Some animals can use even your pool to have a bath.Bees love shallow water.”可知很多动物需要水,因此你需要准备水,所以E项符合语境。E项中的pond与设空处后一句中的pond相呼应。故选E项。
19.D 本段主题句为Provide food.所以设空处的内容应与食物相关,D项中的bird feeder与本段主题呼应。故选D项。
20.A 设空处为本段主题句。根据本段内容可知一些物种不友好,所以要把它们赶走。A项中的Keep...away与后文中的keep...out相呼应。故选A项。
第二部分 语言运用
【语篇导读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。小女孩发现了两只饥饿的小鸟,一开始把它们养在笼子里,后来意识到鸟儿最需要的是自由,于是将小鸟放生。故事告诉我们:令爱常驻的方法是赠予对方一双翅膀。
21.D 由上下文语境及常识可知,装鸟的笼子一般比较小,故选D项。
22.A 根据下文“One bird flew from the cage”这一句可知,一只鸟飞离了笼子,所以上文应表示“女孩使笼子的门开着”,故选A项。这里leave的意思是“使……处于某种状态”。
23.B 根据下文“As it flew close,she grasped it .”可知,小女孩非常害怕小鸟飞走,故选B项。
24.C 根据下文“Suddenly she felt the bird breathless.It was her desperate love that had killed it.”可推知,由于小女孩野蛮地抓住鸟,结果将小鸟捏死了,故选C项。
25.C 根据上文“she grasped it .”可知,小女孩抓住了小鸟,故选C项。
26.D 此处句意为“她注意到另一只鸟儿在笼边飞来飞去”,故选D项。
27.A 根据下文“She could feel its great for freedom.”这一信息可知,小鸟想要自由,因而会在笼子边飞来飞去,试图出去,故选A项。on the edge of“在……的边上”。
28.B 由后一句“It needed to fly into the blue sky.”可知,鸟儿非常渴望回到天空中,故选B项。
29.A 由上文“Suddenly she felt the bird breathless.It was her desperate love that had killed it.”可知,由于她粗暴的行为导致一只小鸟的死亡,因而为了不让另一只小鸟再受到伤害,她轻轻地将小鸟放回到空中,故选A项。
30.B 根据上文“The bird circled once,twice,three times.”可知,小鸟非常开心能够在天空中飞翔,故选B项。
31.D 由上文“Suddenly she felt the bird breathless.It was her desperate love that had killed it.”可知,失去小鸟对小女孩来说是一种损失,故选D项。
32.C 此处句意为“她不再关心她的损失,她希望鸟儿快乐”,故选C项。
33.A 此处句意是“突然,鸟儿飞得更近了,轻轻地落在她的肩膀上”,故选A项。
34.B 由上文“she grasped it .”以及文章大意可知,小女孩失去第一只小鸟就是因为握得太紧,因而失去爱的最快方法就是紧紧抓住它,故选B项。hold onto“抓住”;hold up“举起;阻挡;拦截”;take up“占据;从事”;take in“吸收;欺骗;领会”。
35.C 由本句前面“The fastest way to lose love is to it too tight”可知,与失去爱相对,令爱常驻的方法是赠它一双翅膀,故选C项。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇人物传记类文章。主要对一位美国著名的儿童作家——Joanna Cole进行了介绍。
36.most popular 考查形容词的最高级。根据“one of”和“of all time”可知,此空应该填形容词的最高级,popular的最高级是the most popular,故填 most popular。
37.has written 考查时态、语态。根据关键词“so far”可知,此句应该用现在完成时,又因此句主语She是第三人称单数,故填has written。
38.finally 考查词性转换。此处空白处修饰本句空后的部分,所以应该用副词。因此将final转化为副词形式,故填finally。
39.Therefore 考查副词。根据上文的 “had never been a book written for children about cockroaches”,表示从来没有为儿童写过关于蟑螂的书,空前后是因果关系,而且空后有逗号隔开,所以应该填一个表示结果的副词,therefore是副词,意为“因此”。又因在句子开头,故填Therefore。
40.following 考查非谓语动词。the following year为固定搭配,表示“第二年”。故填following。
41.success 考查词性转换。空前的its是形容词性物主代词,所以后面应跟名词。故succeed应该转化为名词形式success。故填success。
42.to think 考查非谓语动词。inspire sb to do sth为固定搭配,意为“激励某人做某事”。故填to think。
43.which/that 考查定语从句。此处questions是先行词,设空处为定语从句的引导词。questions表示事物,故用that/which引导从句。故填which/that。
44.an 考查冠词。experience当“体验”讲时,是可数名词,而且空后engaging的第一个字母是“e”,为元音发音开头,故应用an来修饰,表示泛指。故填an。
45.readers考查名词复数。此处指年轻的读者们,故填readers。
第三部分 写作
第一节
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to tell you how I feel after watching a report on CCTV about rare and endangered animals in the world.Looking at the alarming situation those animals are facing,I am deeply worried that they will soon die out if measures aren’t taken to protect them.It is surprising that these animals’ death mainly results from humans’ careless behavior.So what we should do is stop polluting and destroying animals’ habitats.
To do this,I hope WWF can try to raise people’s awareness of protecting animals and call on people to live in harmony with nature.Only by taking necessary measures can we save and protect these rare and endangered animals.
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
Many years later,the boy finally returned.Tired,he returned to the apple tree.Seeing him,the tree said,“I’m sorry,boy,but now I have nothing for you.” “I don’t intend to get anything from you.With time going by,I come to realize nothing is better than a comfortable place to rest,” said the boy.Hearing this,the tree smiled with relief,adding,“My dying trunk is suitable for you.Please come here and rest.” The boy did as told and the tree smiled heartily.
The apple tree is our mother.When we are young,she tries to attend to and play with us.After growing up,we leave her for some reasons and only come back when in trouble.But she is always out there,devoting whatever she owns without complaint.It is our happiness,rather than rewards,that she desires.Therefore,try to put ourselves in her situation and show concern for her.
