Ⅲ.阅读理解 (共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
A
The African elephant, the largest land animal remaining on earth , is of great importance to African ecosystem(生态系统)．Unlike other animals, the African elephant is to a great extent the builder of its environment.As a big plant-eater, it largely shapes the forest-and-savanna(大草原) surroundings in which it lives, therefore setting_the_terms of existence for millions of other animals that live in its habitat.
It is the elephant's great desire for food that makes it a disturber of the environment and an important builder of its habitat.In its continuous search for the 300 pounds of plants it must have every day, it kills small trees and underbushes, and pulls branches off big trees.This results in numerous open spaces in both deep tropical forests and in the woodlands that cover part of the African savannas.In these open spaces are numerous plants in various stages of growth that attract a variety of other plant-eaters.
Take the rain forests for example.In their natural state, the spreading branches overhead shut out sunlight and prevent the growth of plants on the forest floor.By pulling down trees and eating plants, elephants make open spaces, allowing new plants to grow on the forest floor.In such situations, the forests become suitable for large hoofed plant-eaters to move around and for small plant-eaters to get their food as well.
What worries scientists now is that the African elephant has become an endangered species.If the elephant disappears, scientists say, many other animals will also disappear from vast areas of forest and savanna, greatly changing and worsening the whole ecosystem.
36．What is the passage mainly about?
A．Disappearance of African elephants.
B．Forests and savannas as habitats for African elephants.
C．The effect of African elephants' search for food.
D．The eating habit of African elephants.
37．What does the underlined phrase “setting the terms” most probably mean?
A．Fixing the time.
B．Worsening the state.
C．Improving the quality.
D．Deciding the conditions.
38．What do we know about the open spaces in the passage?
A．They result from the destruction of rain forests.
B．They provide food mainly for African elephants.
C．They are home to many endangered animals
D．They are attractive to plant-eating animals of different kinds.
39．The passage is developed mainly by ________.
A．showing the effect and then explaining the causes
B．pointing out similarities and differences
C．describing the changes in space order
D．giving examples
B
For more than 300 years, black-eyed peas have been a staple of Southern cooking.They have also had a prominent place in New Year's celebrations, bringing good luck and prosperity for the upcoming year.Since 1970, Frieda's has been a part of those traditions with their pre-soaked, ready-in-20-minute black-eyed peas.And once you try a bowl，you_won't_want_to_ring_next_year_without_them.
“Every holiday has a favorite food and for New Year's it has to be blac-keyed peas，” said Karen Caplan, Frieda's President.
Along with the many stories behind eating black-eyed peas on New Year's Day, there are many ways to prepare them.Some combine the peas with fresh greens, comparing the peas to coins and the greens to money.Others enjoy Hoppin' John, black-eyed peas cooked with rice, pork and seasonings(调味料), and some simply prepare a bowl of peas, with many believing that each pea eaten is a day of good luck.But no matter how they're served, Frieda's black-eyed peas will take hours of your cooking time and will ensure you'll be enjoying the peas in no time.
And along with the promise of a lucky new year, the peas are also good for you.They are cholesterol(胆固醇) free, low in fat, high in fiber and rich in iron, vitamin B1 and protein.They are also completely vegetarian and a great main dish for meatless meals.
Not just for New Year's, the peas can also be added to soups like Pasta Fagioli, mixed with steamed rice and fresh herbs or warm salads with mustard(芥末) greens, bacon(咸肉) and garlic.

Arthur Bonner works with the Palos Verdes blue butterfly, once thought to have died out.Today the butterfly is coming back—thanks to him.But years ago if you'd told him this was what he'd be doing someday, he would have laughed, “ You're crazy.” As a boy, he used to be “a little tough guy on the streets”．At age thirteen, he was caught by police stealing.At eighteen, he landed in prison for shooting a man.
“I knew it had hurt my mom，” Bonner said after he got out of prison.“So I told myself I would not put my mom through that pain again.”
One day he met Professor Mattoni, who was working to rebuild the habitat for an endangered butterfly called El Segundo blue.
“I saw the sign ‘Butterfly Habitat’ and asked, ‘How can you have a habitat when the butterflies can just fly away？’” Bonner recalls.“Dr.Mattoni laughed and handed me a magnifying glass(放大镜), ‘Look at the leaves’. I could see all these caterpillars(蝴蝶的幼虫) on the plant.Dr. Mattoni explained, ‘Without the plant, there are no butterflies.’”
Weeks later, Bonner received a call from Dr.Mattoni, who told him there was a butterfly needed help.That was how he met the Palos Verdes blue.Since then he's been working for four years to help bring the butterfly back.He grows astragalus, the only plant the butterfly eats.He collects butterflies and brings them into a lab to lay eggs.Then he puts new butterflies into the habitat.
The butterfly's population, once almost zero, is now up to 900.For their work, Bonner and Dr.Mattoni received lots of awards.But for Bonner, he earned something more: he turned his life around.
For six years now Bonner has kept his promise to stay out of prison.While he's bringing back the Palos Verdes blue, the butterfly has helped bring him back, too.
44．Bonner came to know the Palos Verdes blue after he________.
A．found the butterfly had died out
B．won many prizes from his professor

The National Association for Business Economics has its latest predictions for the American economy.Most of the forty-five business economists questioned said they expect the recession(经济衰退) to end in the second half of the year.But they also expect a slower-than-usual recovery.
Still, there were more signs this week that Americans are feeling better about the economy.The Conference Board said its consumer confidence index had its biggest jump in six years in May.The National Association of Realtors reported that sales of existing homes rose about three percent from March to April.
Housing recoveries usually follow employment recoveries.Experts say job losses might slow later this year, but the unemployment rate could rise until the middle of next year.
Job losses help explain the latest numbers from the Mortgage(抵押贷款) Bankers Association.By the end of March, twelve percent of homeowners with a mortgage were late on loan payments or in the process of losing their home.California, Florida, Arizona and Nevada drove up the national numbers.
Pete Kyle is a University of Maryland finance professor.He agrees that the economy should begin to grow again in the second half of the year.But because of job conditions, he says, the recovery is “not going to feel like a recovery to the average person.”
Unemployment was almost nine percent in April, the highest since the early eighties.High unemployment reduces spending which slows recovery.Professor Kyle also points to a weak property market, both for housing and businesses.
But what really set this economic downturn apart from others, he says, was the severity of the banking crisis.Many banks, he says, are going to need additional capital to deal with bad loans and heavy debt.
Heavy government debt only adds to unease about the future after the so-called Great Recession.But_President_Obama_says_there_is_now_some_calm_that_did_not_exist_before. But he also says Americans cannot return to a “borrow-and-spend economy”．
47．Many homeowners putting off paying their mortgage illustrates________.
A．job losses are still increasing
B．houses are becoming more expensive
C．banks won't be able to work any more
D．people have no money to spend
48．What does President Obama want to express with the underlined sentence? He wants to tell________.
A．people have confidence in the economy recovery
B．people have never been so stable as now
C．people in the US have been adapted to the the economy declines
D．people no longer care for the economic situations
49．From this passage we can infer ________.
A．most economists surveyed expected American economy to recover quickly
B．housing recovery can improve employment
C．the government has no connection with this economic crisis
D．Americans used to consume in advance by borrowing money
50．This passage mainly tells about________.
A．jobs and economic recovery
B．cause of economic recession
C．employment and housing
D．trend of American economy in future

综合检测(六)
1．D a number of “许多”；take an active part in“积极参加”。句意：我们班很多学生踊跃参加了这届运动会。the number of...“……的数量”。
2．A 考查非谓语动词。be concerned about“为……担心”。此句中是过去分词短语作原因状语。句意：因为担心孩子们的安全，放学时家长们不得不请假去接他们。
3．D in theory“理论上”；in return“作为回报”；in demand“需要”；in reserve“备用的”。句意：别担心。如果情形坏到极点，我们还有些储备金可动用。
4．B 句意：你可以借这本书，只要你不把它借给其他人。on condition that“如果……，在……条件下”。in no condition身体状况不佳；on no condition“决不”。
5．B waste“浪费”。句意：你为什么把那么宝贵的时间浪费在网上聊天上？找点有意义的事去做。
6．A you find worth doing为省略了关系词which/that的定语从句。worth doing作宾补，doing表示被动意义。
7．D 句意：只有我们相互理解，相互帮助，我们之间才会建立友谊。only if引导的从句放在句首，主句用部分倒装结构。
8．B 考查副词辨析。根据句子提供的含义可知，空格前后表示的是两种情况的对比，故答案为B项。meanwhile“而，却”；therefore“因此，所以”；otherwise“否则，要不然”；instead“代替，而不是”。句意：私家车确实为人们提供了很多方便，但与此同时它们也带来了很多问题。
9．B 主句的主语是his head，walk动作的发出者是he，而不是his head，因此不能选A；如果选C，walk与主语应该是被动关系，根据句意显然不对；如果有并列连词，D项和其后内容可以视为并列句。When he was walking in the dark是时间状语从句。
10．D 考查由“介词＋关系代词”结构引导的定语从句。定语从句的先行词magazines是物，所以用关系代词which。句意：橱窗里有几本杂志，但我一本也不感兴趣。
11．A 句意：——真遗憾！我没有买到足球赛的票。——不用担心。这场球赛将现场直播。live在句中为副词，意为“现场直播地”。
12．D 考查定语从句。从句中的动词talk和with搭配，故关系代词前的介词应该用with。
13．B suggest后的宾语从句中应该用“(should)＋动词原形”虚拟语气。此句中的should省略了。从句中the man 与谓语为被动关系，所以应用被动语态。
14．B 介词短语放在句首，句子应该用完全倒装的形式。lie的意思是“位于”。
15．B 考查宾语从句。he said是插入语，从句中缺少状语，从后句中的“in time”可知想知道的应是“时间”，而不是要去的“地点”，故选B。
16．B 从下文所讲的故事可以看出，那位学生邀请作者参加他的婚礼是因为作者是唯一一位信任那位学生的老师。
17．A 从第一句话“...invite me to his wedding.”可以判断是在那位学生的婚礼上。
18．A 从下文的故事可以看出那位学生的全家人对作者抱有感激之情。
19．D they wanted me to know 的宾语从句中缺“done”的宾语，故用what。
20．A 从句意来看，应该是任作者这个班的课的其他的老师对这个学生不好。
21．D put sb.down的意思是“使(某人)羞愧；羞辱(某人)”；从前半句“he had a really bad year”可知此答案。
22．A 从上句及后面和此空并列的词“dumb”和“hated himself”可以知这位学生很自卑，认为自己很“stupid”。
23．C with the intention of的意思是“有……的打算；有……的意图”；由于受到了打击，那位学生想上吊自杀。
24．C 第一段的第二句话“He said I was the________teacher that had believed in him.”可知作者对那位学生是信任的。
25．B 因为是这位老师的信任挽救了他们的孩子，家长非常感谢这位老师。
26．C 作者对家长所描述的事实所感动。emotions “感情，情感”。
27．B 作者被家长讲述的事情所感动，也被自己的行为所感动，所以回家的途中哭了。
28．C 作者答应要做些什么，用“would”表示此意。could“能够”；should“应该”；might“可能”。
29．D head for“朝……走去”；此句话的意思是“当我不愿意起床(感到疲倦)也不愿意再去学校时，我就退休”。
30．A 和28空前面的“promised”相衔接，作者被自己的行为所感动，因为自己的做法挽救了一个人，作者也向这位年轻人承诺自己不能再为学生做些什么的话，就不再干了。
31．A 见30的解析。
32．D 朋友认为作者的故事很感人，让作者写下来以便对其他的老师也产生一定的影响。
33．D 因为这是一个老师对一个的学生的影响，故这个故事写下来的目的也是影响其他的老师。
34．B 从下面的一句话中的make a difference“对……有影响”可以判断此空也是这个短语。
35．C 从这个故事来看，作为一个老师的作者对学生的生活产生了极大的影响。
【语篇解读】 本文主要讲述了非洲大象的食物链对周围环境的影响。
36．C 主旨大意题。 往往文章的第一段和最后一段都是透露文章主旨的地方，而本文正是这样。我们从这两段可以读出，这篇文章是关于非洲象寻找食物所带来的影响的，所以应该选择C。
37．D 词义猜测题。根据上半句和下文existence for millions of other animals可知。
38．D 细节理解题。open space出现在文中的第二段的第三句和第四句。从第四句中我们可以得知这样的空地很容易吸引各种各样的食草动物，所以选择D。
39．A 推理判断题。通读后发现，这篇文章是先讲述大象寻找食物所带来的影响，然后解释原因，所以要选择A。
40．C 细节理解题。从第一段第二句话的后半句“...，bringing good luck and success for the coming year.”可以看出：人们在新年的时候煮豇豆是期待新的一年里有好运气。
41．A 句意猜测题。从上文提及的豇豆是新年庆祝中起了很重要的作用，和下文的“...and for New Year's it has to be Blackeyed Peas”可以看出人们对这个活动的重视，从而可以推测出划线部分的意思就是：缺了它过不了年，一定会准备一碗的。
42．B 推理判断题。从第四段的第一句话可以推断出B项是正确的；A项只是一种象征而不是事实；C、D项中的事实也不能确定。
43．A 主旨大意题。本文主要讲的是新年吃豇豆的习俗。还介绍了几种具体做豇豆的方法。另外附带说明了豇豆主要成分，暗示了豇豆这种食物是一种对人体有好处的健康食品。总之，本文是以庆贺新年这个话题而引出的，而且新年这个话题一直贯穿了文章的始终，故A项合适。
【语篇解读】 本文主要讲述了一个叫阿瑟的人通过养蝴蝶既拯救了蝴蝶，又拯救了自己的故事。
44．C 细节理解题。根据第五段的第一、二句话得知，几周后阿瑟收到了教授的电话，告诉他有一种蝴蝶需要他的帮助，那就是他怎样遇到这种蝴蝶的。
45．D 词义猜测题。根据上下文语境得知。
46．B 主旨大意题。文章整体上讲述的是阿瑟从没有养蝴蝶时的糟糕生活到养蝴蝶后的转变。
【语篇解读】 本文主要讲了美国经济危机后的经济现状和就业问题。通过房子的销售量和消费者信心指数的提高可以看出美国经济萧条问题开始有所回转，就业问题和房贷问题仍然没有太大的好转，但人们的心态已经趋于平稳。
47．A 细节理解题。从第四段的第一句话“Job losses help explain the latest numbers from the Mortgage(抵押贷款) Bankers Association.”可以判断出A项为正确的答案。
48．A 句意理解题。从最后一段的第一句话“沉重的债务在经济大萧条之后只会增添对未来的担忧”可以看出，奥巴马是在对这种担忧而安慰民众，是在向公众表明：现在人们已经看到了希望而不再恐慌。故A项正确。
49．D 推理判断题。从最后一段的最后一句话可以判断出D项正确；从第一段的第二句可以看出A项不正确；B项是事实而不是推断出的结论；C项事实不正确。
50．A 本文主要讲了美国经济危机后的经济现状和就业问题。文章虽然提到了房子问题，但那是和就业和经济相关的问题。而B项的“经济萧条的原因”则更是没有太多的涉及。D项的内容也不是主要讲的内容。

Ⅳ.阅读理解
Moving can bring out the best and the worst in people, I'm finding. And I've discovered where a very generous spirit lives: Defiance, Ohio.
After suffering through many months of unemployment, my wife and I had to move this week from Colorado to Ohio, where she would work as a sales assistant.Not knowing anyone there, we were pretty concerned about all the work, including how we'd get all things unloaded without killing ourselves.
We decided to pay a couple of college students to help with all the heavy lifting once we got there.But one neighbor after another stopped by and joined in.“What? Have we moved to some other country? Maybe we've died and gone to heaven！” I thought.
Unloading actually became fun as we connected with so many wonderful new friends as we worked.The more people that helped, the easier the work became.A job that we were afraid might take days for the two of us alone was finished in a few hours.Many total strangers would either walk by or drive by to ask us if we were moving in.Many were delighted that this fine old house that had sat empty for so long was coming to life again.We were invited to an outdoor meal last night by neighbors on the same street.
All the while, my brain was on this new sense of hope that people could be out-going and kind to strangers.Among all the conversation were lots of offers to be of help to one another in a variety of ways.It's wonderful to live in such a kind little town.I feel so grateful to be here, and wish the rest of the world could see how an entire society can be a model for what it's like to look out for one another.I used to stay away from friendships with strangers, but now I live in Defiance!
1．The author and his wife moved to Defiance because
________.
A．for them，moving often brings out the best
B．his wife had found a better-paid job
C．they liked this little town
D．his wife got a job there
2．When offered help, the author at first felt ________.
A．grateful B．surprised
C．ashamed D．excited
3．The neighbors did all of the following EXCEPT________.
A．help them unload
B．invite them to a dinner
C．offer to drive them around
D．welcome their coming
4．What can we know about the author's past life?
A．He hated to live in a little town.
B．He was used to out-going strangers.
C．He usually offered some help to others.
D．He refused to make friends with strangers.
5．What does the author want to tell us through the passage?
A．We don't know what is good until we have lost
it.
B．Kindness is the sunshine of life.
C．Where there is a will, there is a way.
D．There is no place like home.

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.
1．What is this passage mainly about?

B．Lions and the Masai.
C．The reason why lions are killed.

B．To help the Masai protect their farms and cattle.
C．To protect lions only.
D．To protect the wildlife.
3．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
4．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.
5．What do you think of the Masai?
A．Reasonable. B．Cruel.
C．Poor. D．Stupid.
B
In many countries today, laws protect wildlife.In India the need for such protection was realized centuries ago.
About 300 B．C.an Indian writer described forests that were somewhat like national parks today.The killing of game animals was carefully governed.Some animals were fully protected.Within the forest, nobody was allowed to cut trees, burn wood, or trap animals for their furs.Animals that became dangerous to human visitors were trapped or killed outside the park, so that other animals would not become uneasy.
The need for wildlife protection is greater now than ever before.About a thousand sorts of animals are in danger of extinction, and the speed at which they are being destroyed has been putting_on.With mammals(哺乳类动物), for example, the speed of extinction is now about one sort every year; from 1 to 1800 A．D., the speed was about one sort every fifty years.Everywhere, men are trying to solve the problem of saving wildlife while caring for the world's growing population.

6．D 句意：只有双方都接受所达成的协议，才能在这个地区建立持久的和平。only if引导的从句位于句首，主句用部分倒装。unless“除非”；as long as“只要”；if only“要是……就好了”，常用于虚拟语气。

Ⅲ.1.B 通读全文可知，因为狮子经常吃掉Masai人的牲口，所以Masai人杀死狮子从而导致狮子的数量减少。在“捕食性动物补偿计划”实施之后，Masai人得到了补偿所以不再杀害狮子，因此文章主要是关于Masai人与狮子之间的关系。
2．D 本文虽然主要谈论了“捕食性动物补偿计划”怎样保护狮子，但该计划并非只是为了保护狮子。第四段中的“We're trying to find ways in which the wildlife will become something useful to them.”说明“捕食性动物补偿计划”是为了保护所有野生动物的。
3．D 从第二段“For generations, Masai tribesmen on the large African plains in southeastern Kenya have hunted lions to protect their farms and cattle.”这句可以看出，Masai人是为了生计和保护牲口才杀死狮子的。第四段“They compete with the animals for food as lions eat their cattle.”这句话是指Masai人与动物们竞争食物。动物们猎杀他们饲养的牛，他们就杀死这些动物以此来减少损失。这句话说他们杀死这些野生动物并不是为了获取它们的肉，而是为了保护他们自己饲养的动物。
4．C 从第四段“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.”这句可知，现在如果有狮子或别的肉食类动物杀死了他们的牛，他们就可以从“捕食性动物补偿基金”里获得补偿，所以他们没必要再杀狮子了。
5．A 从为了保护牲口不得已而杀狮子，到得到补偿后同意保护狮子，都显示了Masai人是很通情达理的。
6．B 细节理解题。根据第一、二段内容可知，公元前三百年时人们不但有了保护野生动物的意识，而且已经采取了保护措施。
7．C 细节理解题。通过第二段的描述我们可以看出，并不是所有的动物都可以捕杀，有的受到保护，故答案为C。
8．D 推理判断题。文章的最后一句“Everywhere, men are trying to solve the problem of saving wildlife while caring for the world's growing population.”说明D项这一观点。
9．B 词义猜测题。根据上下文内容可知，数千种动物面临灭绝，并且其被捕杀的速度呈上升趋势。之所以理解为“上升趋势”，是根据该段的首句“The need for wildlife protection is greater now than ever before.”。
10．A 推理判断题。根据文章最后一句话，中提到的“...while caring for the world's growing population.”可知，人们在关注世界人口增长的同时，也要解决野生动物的保护问题，这说明人口增长的越快，对动物的威胁越大，故答案为A。
