More than two thirds of the world’s polar bears will be wiped out by 2050，according to a shocking new study.By then，scientists say，global warming will have melted 42 percent of the Arctic sea ice.By 2100，only a very few of these important creatures will be left.
The report has been produced by the US Geological Survey.The scientists have publicized their findings in the hope of influencing US Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne，who has been asked to put polar bears on the US endangered species list.
Polar bears depend on floating sea ice as a platform for hunting seals，which are their main food.Without enough ice，polar bears would be forced to go onto the land，where they are poorly skilled hunters，and would be unlikely to adapt to the life on the land in time.Experts say few little bears would survive and the stress could make many females unable to get pregnant.
The team of American and Canadian scientists spent six months studying bears，on the ground，from spotter planes and in the lab，using computer models.Some team members fear the result is even worse for the bears than what their report says.They say the Arctic is warming faster than anywhere in the world and much faster than their computer had been forecasting.Satellite observations have showed that the ice has decreased to an all-time low.
However，not everyone in the scientific community believes that global warming is happening on such an alarming scale.Another investigation has found that polar bears are still being hunted by wealthy “sportsmen” who want their skins and heads.At least ten international companies offer bear-hunting trips.
1．What do we know about Dirk Kempthorne according to the passage?
A．He is an animal scientist.
B．He is a protector of animals working for the US government.
C．He was asked to put polar bears on the US endangered species list.
D．He offered to put polar bears on the endangered species list.
2．Why will polar bears die out if there is not enough sea ice?
A．Because polar bears can’t catch enough food without ice.
B．Because polar bears eat ice when they feel thirsty.
C．Because polar bears will be easily found by hunters without ice.
D．Because most female bears are used to giving birth under ice.
3．After a six-month study，some scientists fear that________.
A．there is something wrong with their computers
B．polar bears will disappear even faster than they ever expected
C．their computer models are not as accurate as they expected
D．global warming will destroy everything in the Arctic
4．What is this passage mainly about?
A．Global warming makes the whole world different.
B．Human beings are responsible for the endangered species.
C．Most of the polar bears will be wiped out by the end of this century.
D．Scientists have found that most animals in the Arctic will die out by the end of this century.

The Fight Against Youth Smoking
Since I took office I’ve done everything in my power to protect our children from harm.We’ve worked to make their streets and their schools safer，to give them something positive to do after school and before their parents get home.We’ve worked to teach our children that drugs are dangerous，illegal and wrong.
Today，I want to talk to you about the historic opportunity we now have to protect our nation’s children from an even more deadly threat：smoking.Smoking kills more people every day than AIDS，alcohol，car accidents，murders，suicides，drugs and fires combined.Nearly 90 percent of those smokers lit their first cigarette before they turned 18.Consider this：3,000 children start to smoke every day illegally and 1,000 of them will die sooner because of it.
This is a national tragedy that every American should be honor-bound to help prevent.For more than five years we’ve worked to stop our children from smoking before they start，launching a nationwide campaign to educate them about the dangers of smoking，to reduce their access to tobacco products，and to severely restrict tobacco companies from advertising to young people.If we do these，we’ll cut teen smoking by almost half over the next five years.That means if we act now，we have it in our power to stop 3 million children from smoking and to save a million lives as a result.
1．What has the author done in his power?
A．To look after our children.
B．To clean the street.
C．To teach our children.
D．To protect our children from harm.
2．Compared with other disasters，what kills more people every day?
A．Smoking. B．Car accidents.
C．Drugs. D．Murders.
3．How many children start to smoke every day illegally?
A．1,000. B．3,000.
C．90. D．18.
4．For more than five years what have they done to stop their children from smoking?
A．To educate them about the dangers of smoking.
B．To reduce their access to tobacco products.
C．To restrict tobacco companies from advertising to young people.
D．All of the above.

第三部分 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，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
Dolphins(海豚) are not fish，but warm-blooded animals.They live in groups，and speak to each other in their own language.In this way they are like other animals，such as bees and birds.But dolphins are very different from almost all land animals.Their brain is nearly the same size as our own，and they live a long time—at least twenty or thirty years.
Like some animals，dolphins use sound to help them find their way around.They also make these sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food.We now know they do not use their ears to receive these sounds，but the lower part of the mouth，called the jaw.
Strangely，dolphins seem to like man，and for thousands of years there have been stories about the dolphin and its friendship with people.
There is a story about sailors in the 19th century.In a dangerous part of the sea off the coast of New Zealand，they learnt to look for a dolphin called Jack.From 1871 to 1903 Jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way.Then in 1903 a passenger on a boat called The Penguin shot and wounded Jack.He recovered and for nine years more continued to guide all ships through the area—except for The Penguin.
Today，some people continue to kill dolphins，but many countries of the world now protect them and in these places it is against the law to kill them.
56．Dolphins are different from many other animals in that they ________.
A．live in groups
B．have large brains
C．are warm-blooded
D．have their own language
57．Which of the following does the dolphin use to help it find its way around?
A．Its nose. B．Its ears.
C．Its mouth. D．Its eyes.
58．By telling the story of Jack the writer wanted to show that ________.
A．dolphins are friendly and clever
B．people are cruel to animals
C．Jack is different from other dolphins
D．dolphins should be protected by law
59．What is the main idea of this passage?
A．Dolphins are endangered.
B．Dolphins are the animal which has some differences from other animals.
C．Man should protect dolphins.
D．Some countries passed laws to protect dolphins.
B
At the beginning of the 20th century there were more than a million lions worldwide.Today there are less than 30,000 in the wild.The remaining lions are increasingly threatened by habitat loss，hunting activities to protect farms and cattle.
For generations，Masai tribesmen on the large African plains in southeastern Kenya have hunted lions—to protect their farms and cattle.Today they celebrate the lions’ life.
Noah is an elder in the Masai community.“We have decided as a community of the Masai to lay down our spears，and there will be no more killing of lions in our community.” He is part of a group of Masai visiting the United States promoting (推广) the Predator (捕食性动物) Compensation Program.
Conservation International’s Frank Hawkins explains，“The Masai have been living with wildlife for many generations and it has been a conflicting relationship in many ways.They compete with the animals for food as lions eat their cattle.We’re trying to find ways in which the wildlife will become something useful to them.” They had the Predator Compensation Fund founded in 2003.After much discussion，a group of Masai farmers agreed to protect lions.In turn，if lions or other predators kill their cattle，the Masai owner will be paid market value for the dead animals from the fund.
One man said that in the past，when a lion killed cattle，they killed it on the spot.And now，after the start of the program，the Masai see the lion population growing.Since 2003，only four lions have been killed here.
60．What is this passage mainly about?
A．The wildlife in the world.
B．Lions and the Masai.
C．The reason why lions are killed.
D．The living ways of the Masai.
61．What is the aim of the Predator Compensation Program?
A．To protect people in the wild.
B．To help the Masai protect their farms and cattle.
C．To protect lions only.
D．To protect the wildlife.
62．Masai tribesmen killed lions before 2003 ______.
A．because lions were dangerous for people there
B．because dead lions were worth a lot of money
C．because they wanted lions’ meat
D．because they wanted to protect their farms and cattle
63．According to the passage，why haven’t Masai tribesmen killed many lions since 2003?
A．Because lions don’t eat their cattle any more.
B．Because they will be fined if they kill lions there.
C．Because if a lion kills their cattle，they will be paid for the dead animals from the fund.
D．Because there are less than 30,000 lions in the wild now.
C
1．Live in the City—Many of us yearn to live in the country，so we can be closer to nature and enjoy peace and quiet.However，when we do this there are less wild areas for wildlife.We need to develop a new environmental theory，which encourages people to stay in the cities.We have to make cities more livable and leave the remaining wild areas for the wildlife.
2．Support Strict Zoning—Land use zoning(土地用途分区管制) is one of the few tools the government can use to protect wetlands，natural areas and environmental corridors.Unfortunately，such zoning is often opposed by powerful land developers or political forces.It’s important for citizens to show support for zoning to off-set these negative pressures.
3．Support Organizations Preserving Rare Properties—Several groups specialize in buying and keeping pieces of important wildlife habitat which are threatened with development.
4．Create Habitat in Your Backyard—You can make your own backyard habitat for wildlife by planting native plants，putting nest boxes in the trees and so on.
5．Save Energy—We must work together to use less energy.This is important to stop climate change and global warming.Saving energy also reduces direct habitat losses and air and water pollution，all of which threaten wildlife.
6．Limit Your Family Size—Each person requires space and natural resources to live.The human population is rapidly rising to levels which make it difficult to provide enough resources for humans while maintaining a healthy environment for wildlife.If each couple limited themselves to no more than 2 children，the world’s population would stabilize(稳定) and be able to support everyone without conflict or suffering.
7．Get Involved and Talk to Law Makers—Many of our laws are not helpful for preserving wildlife habitat or saving energy，and some policies actually reward large energy users.Citizens need to contact their law makers and ask for better policies.
64．What would be the best title for this passage?
A．Where should we live in the future?
B．How to protect our environment?
C．Why should we save energy?
D．What can we do to help wildlife?
65．The underlined word “yearn” in Point 1 probably means “________”．
A．hope B．fear
C．hate D．fail
66．Which of the following actions will NOT destroy the homes of wildlife?
A．Building houses in the country.
B．Putting nest boxes in the backyard.
C．Releasing dirty water into a river.
D．Couples having many children.
67．What do we know about saving energy according to the passage?
A．It can help limit the population.
B．It can cause conflicts or sufferings.
C．It can protect wildlife habitat from being destroyed.
D．It can make law makers more responsible for wildlife.
D
People realize that，although animals may not have the same intelligence as human beings，they are smart enough to learn certain things.
Dogs are extremely useful as companions for blind people.When a dog has been properly trained，he will always lead his blind master in the right direction and keep him out of danger.For example，seeing-eye dogs learn never to cross a busy road when cars are coming，even if their master ordered them to do.
Horses are also able to learn many things.Horses that are used for guard or police duty must learn never to be frightened of noises，traffic，and other disturbances.Racing horses are able to run much faster than other horses，but they are also quite high strung(易紧张的)．Therefore，it is necessary for those people who train them to be very patient and understanding.
The moving pictures and television can use trained animals too.Some animals，such as monkeys and foxes，are easy to film.All you have to do is make_a_trail in front of the camera by dragging something that smells good to the animals over the ground；big animals，such as lions and tigers，can be photographed as they bound happily back their families and dinner，if a movie actor is nearby，the well-trained animal will pay no attention to him.However，the audience may imagine that the actor escaped a terrible death by the skin of his teeth.
68．Dogs which help blind people must learn________.
A．to obey all orders
B．to obey only safe orders
C．never to cross roads
D．to cross roads when ordered to do so
69．Race horses are hard to train because they are________.
A．faster than other horses
B．smaller than other horses
C．cleverer than other horses
D．more nervous than other horses
70．What does the underlined phrase “make a trail” mean here in the last paragraph?
A．Place something to attract the animal.
B．Give the animal a certain task.
C．Order the animal to do things.
D．Follow the animal to hunt.

参考范文
Dear Mayor，
I’ve just learnt the news online about killing tigers and I am so angry.
I think tigers must be protected well，or they will die out.It is time that we took action to protect them from being killed.
It is said that the population of tigers is getting smaller and smaller.I think there are two main reasons for this.The first reason is that some people kill tigers for their skins to earn money.The other reason is that too many trees have been cut down，which has destroyed the places where tigers used to live.
I hope that the government should pass laws to protect tigers and punish the tiger hunters.
We should work together to make a pleasant home for both human beings and animals.We must tell all the people to protect the tigers as soon as possible.
Yours sincerely，
Li Hua
