四、阅读理解
阅读短文，回答问题
A team of biologists (生物学家) recently studied wildlife in the forests of northern Ecuador. While doing so, they made a surprising discovery: a Mindo harlequin toad (明多斑足蟾). The creature hadn't been seen alive in 30 years. The scientists couldn't believe their eyes. "It took our brains a while to believe it was a Mindo harlequin toad," says Melissa Costales, a conservation biologist from University of New Brunswick.
The Mindo harlequin is the latest harlequin toad species "to come back from the dead," says Costales. Since 2003, eight others have been found, three of them in Ecuador.
Until recently, 13 of the 25 species of harlequin toads in Ecuador had gone unseen since the 1980s or early 1990s. Scientists thought most of them had been killed by a disease called chytrid (壶菌). This illness is especially harmful to the harlequin toad.
Costales says the Mindo harlequin toad may have developed a resistance (抵抗力) to the disease. That would explain the toad's reappearance. And it could spell good news for other harlequins. Since discovering the first one, Costales's team has found five more. They were all tested for chytrid. None had the disease. But that doesn't mean the survival of the species is guaranteed (保证), Costales says. The harlequin toad is still endangered.
Costales is developing a conservation plan with a zoology museum in Ecuador. She wants to make sure the Mindo harlequin toad doesn't fall back into extinction. "Each rediscovery gives us a second chance to develop better conservation plans," she says. "Not every day do we have the chance to rediscover a species that we believed to be extinct."
36．Why were the scientists surprised at finding the Mindo harlequin toad
A．It could live for 30 years.
B．It had been thought to be extinct.
C．It was a foreign species in Ecuador.
D．It lived together with other species.
37．What does Costales say about the Mindo harlequin toad
A．It is huge in number.
B．It might disappear soon.
C．It can spread diseases quickly.
D．It may have survived chytrid.
38．What does Costales plan to do
A．Treat harlequin toads for chytrid.
B．Discover more endangered species.
C．Save the Mindo harlequin toad from extinction.
D．Take harlequin toads back to the zoology museum.
39．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．Lost and Found B．Back to the Wild
C．Hope for Animals D．The Known and the Unknown
【答案】36．B
37．D
38．C
39．A
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要生物学家在厄瓜多尔北部的森林里科研的时候发现了被认为已灭绝的明多斑足蟾。
【点评】考查阅读理解。本篇文章涉及细节理解题和主旨大意题两种题型。细节理解题要求考生能在快速阅读文章的同时，从中获取某些特定的直接信息或理解特定信息的意义。做细节理解题时，要根据题干中的关键词，找准相关句、段的内容，再仔细对照，不符合原文意义的选项要首先排除，反之，则是正确选项。做主旨大意题时，要求考生抓住每段或每个层次的主要含义进行加工、提炼，通过对语篇结构的分析即对文章内部各层次间的逻辑关系的分析，将每段的主题综合起来，找出文章的中心。
36．细节理解题。根据第一段中的"A team of biologists (生物学家) recently studied wildlife in the forests of northern Ecuador. While doing so, they made a surprising discovery: a Mindo harlequin toad (明多斑足蟾). The creature hadn't been seen alive in 30 years. The scientists couldn't believe their eyes. (一个生物学家小组最近研究了厄瓜多尔北部森林中的野生动物。在此过程中，他们有了一个惊人的发现：一只明多斑足蟾。这种生物已经30年没有人看到它活着了。科学家们简直不敢相信他们的眼睛。)"可知，科学家们在厄瓜多尔北部森林中有了惊人且难以置信的发现——一只明多斑足蟾，这种生物已经30年没有人看到它活着了；结合第二段中的"The Mindo harlequin is the latest harlequin toad species "to come back from the dead," says Costales. (Mindo harlequin是最新一种‘死而复生'的五彩蟾蜍，Costales说。)"可知，已经30年没有人看到过活的明多斑足蟾，人们一直以为这个物种已经灭绝，因此当生物学家发现一只明多斑足蟾时他们非常惊讶，难以相信；由此可知，科学家们对发现明多斑足蟾感到惊讶是因为它之前被认为已经灭绝。故选B。
37．细节理解题。根据第三段"Until recently, 13 of the 25 species of harlequin toads in Ecuador had gone unseen since the 1980s or early 1990s. Scientists thought most of them had been killed by a disease called chytrid (壶菌). This illness is especially harmful to the harlequin toad.(直到最近，厄瓜多尔25种五彩蟾蜍中有13种自20世纪80年代或90年代初以来一直未被发现。科学家们认为它们中的大多数是死于一种叫做壶菌的疾病。这种疾病对五彩蟾蜍尤其有害。)"可知，科学家们认为大多数的五彩蟾蜍是死于一种叫chytrid的疾病；由第四段"Costales says the Mindo harlequin toad may have developed a resistance (抵抗力) to the disease. That would explain the toad's reappearance. And it could spell good news for other harlequins. (Costales说，这只明多斑足蟾可能已经对这种疾病产生了抵抗力。这就解释了这只蟾蜍的重现。这对其他五彩蟾蜍来说可能是个好消息。)"可知，Costales认为这只明多斑足蟾可能已经对壶菌病产生了抵抗力；由此可推断，Costales认为明多斑足蟾可能对会导致它们死亡的壶菌产生了抗体，这只明多斑足蟾在壶菌病中幸存下来。故选D。
38．细节理解题。根据最后一段中的"Costales is developing a conservation plan with a zoology museum in Ecuador. She wants to make sure the Mindo harlequin toad doesn't fall back into extinction. (Costales正在与厄瓜多尔的一家动物学博物馆制定一项保护计划。她想确保明多斑足蟾不会再次灭绝。)"可知，Costales正在制定保护计划，以确保明多斑足蟾不会再次灭绝。因此，Costales计划拯救明多斑足蟾使它不会灭绝。故选C。
39．主旨大意题。根据第一段"A team of biologists (生物学家) recently studied wildlife in the forests of northern Ecuador. While doing so, they made a surprising discovery: a Mindo harlequin toad (明多斑足蟾). The creature hadn't been seen alive in 30 years. The scientists couldn't believe their eyes. "It took our brains a while to believe it was a Mindo harlequin toad," says Melissa Costales, a conservation biologist from University of New Brunswick.(一个生物学家小组最近研究了厄瓜多尔北部森林中的野生动物。在此过程中，他们有了一个惊人的发现：一只明多斑足蟾。这种生物已经30年没有人看到它活着了。科学家们简直不敢相信他们的眼睛。‘我们的大脑花了一段时间才相信这是一只明多丑角蟾蜍，'新不伦瑞克大学的保护生物学家Melissa Costales说。)"讲述了科学家发现了被认为已灭绝的明多斑足蟾，下文讲述了其他被发现的五彩蟾蜍以及它们能够活下来的原因；由此可知，文章主要讲述发现了被认为已灭绝的明多斑足蟾；由此可知，A选项"Lost and Found(失而复得)"能够概括文章主旨，适合作为最佳标题。故选A。
阅读短文，回答问题
In the early 1990s, Ashok Kumar and I ran TRAFFIC-India, an organisation that worked to stop illegal wildlife trade in India. That was when the first letter from the famous American conservationist (自然环境保护主义者), George Schaller, arrived on our desk. Tibetan antelopes were being killed in their thousands, he wrote, and their wool (毛) was taken illegally to India. "No use in India for antelope wool," we wrote back, not knowing the seriousness of the illegal trade here. Schaller sent us back pictures to prove it and asked us to begin a Tibetan investigation.
We dug around and found that Schaller was right. We realised that antelope wool was the same as shahtoosh, the famous Kashmiri shawl (披肩). The shawl was made from the underwool of Tibetan antelopes, considered the warmest and softest wool in the world. A single shawl needed the wool of three to five antelopes. We had to save the animal.
Then began India's first campaign (运动) to protect Tibetan antelopes. A lot of designers and models joined us. Slowly, the message was being driven home: shahtoosh was out of style, shahtoosh was illegal and alternative (可替代的) shawls would save the antelopes from extinction.
There were, of course, those who tried to buck the campaign. The wife of a well-known army officer of India refused to give up her shahtoosh till she was forced out of it. She said: "I know the lovely antelope is dying and I so want to save it. But, the shawl is so light on my shoulders!"
Someone suggested farming the antelopes, but studies showed that it was an impractical idea. The antelopes could not even survive in low altitude zoos. The underwool is nature's gift to the animal to keep it warm at great heights. Later, we set up a business to process high quality pashmina wool and make an alternative shawl.
In 2000, good news came in from China. With strict policies in place, the number of Tibetan antelopes was on the rise again.
40．What did the author think of the antelope wool trade Schaller mentioned at first
A．It wasn't true.
B．It wasn't unusual.
C．It was a serious matter.
D．It was difficult to deal with.
41．What can be inferred about India's first campaign to protect Tibetan antelopes
A．It got a lot of support.
B．It was unacceptable to models.
C．It failed to achieve its purpose.
D．It was brought to an end by Ashok Kumar.
42．What does the underlined word "buck" in paragraph 4 probably mean
A．Lead. B．Fight against.
C．Change. D．Keep up.
43．What measure did India take to save Tibetan antelopes
A．Cutting down the shawl business.
B．Asking farmers to raise antelopes.
C．Stopping keeping antelopes in zoos.
D．Encouraging the use of pashmina wool shawls.
【答案】40．A
41．A
42．B
43．D
【解析】【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在印度如何保护藏羚羊的经历。作者最初得到消息时并不相信，经过调查认识到非法藏羚羊贸易的严重性，于是发起了保护藏羚羊的运动。藏羚羊的毛主要用于制作保暖轻盈的沙图什，于是，他们建立公司，生产高质量的羊绒作为代替品，从而对保护藏羚羊起到了重要的作用。
【点评】考查阅读理解。本篇文章涉及细节理解题，推理判断题和词义猜测题三种题型。细节理解题要求考生能在快速阅读文章的同时，从中获取某些特定的直接信息或理解特定信息的意义。做细节理解题时，要根据题干中的关键词，找准相关句、段的内容，再仔细对照，不符合原文意义的选项要首先排除，反之，则是正确选项。做推理判断题时，要求考生不能凭主观臆断推测或妄加猜测，必须忠实于原文，以材料所提供的相关事实和线索为依据，使做出的推理合乎文意。需要注意：审清题目要求；锁定关键信息；挖掘隐含信息；排除干扰选项；把握语境情感；逻辑推理分析。词义猜测题的解题方法包括利用指代关系、定义、定语、文章中的举例、比较的词语、构词法知识、上下文语境、因果关系来推测词义。
40．细节理解题。根据文章第一段内容"'No use in India for antelope wool,' we wrote back, not knowing the seriousness of the illegal trade here.("羚羊毛在印度没用，"我们回复道，并不知道这里非法贸易的严重性。)"可知，最初作者并不了解印度非法贸易的严重性，根据自己的常识判断羚羊毛在印度没有用，认为Schaller的信中提到的事件不属实。故选A。
41．推理判断题。根据文章第三段内容"Then began India's first campaign to protect Tibetan antelopes. A lot of designers and models joined us.(随后，印度开始了第一次保护藏羚羊的运动。很多设计师和模特加入了我们。)"可知，第一次保护藏羚羊的运动中，很多设计师和模特加入其中，由此可推知，第一次运动得到了很多人的支持。故选A。

A team of biologists (生物学家) recently studied wildlife in the forests of northern Ecuador. While doing so, they made a surprising discovery: a Mindo harlequin toad (明多斑足蟾). The creature hadn't been seen alive in 30 years. The scientists couldn't believe their eyes. "It took our brains a while to believe it was a Mindo harlequin toad," says Melissa Costales, a conservation biologist from University of New Brunswick.
The Mindo harlequin is the latest harlequin toad species "to come back from the dead," says Costales. Since 2003, eight others have been found, three of them in Ecuador.
Until recently, 13 of the 25 species of harlequin toads in Ecuador had gone unseen since the 1980s or early 1990s. Scientists thought most of them had been killed by a disease called chytrid (壶菌). This illness is especially harmful to the harlequin toad.
Costales says the Mindo harlequin toad may have developed a resistance (抵抗力) to the disease. That would explain the toad's reappearance. And it could spell good news for other harlequins. Since discovering the first one, Costales's team has found five more. They were all tested for chytrid. None had the disease. But that doesn't mean the survival of the species is guaranteed (保证), Costales says. The harlequin toad is still endangered.
Costales is developing a conservation plan with a zoology museum in Ecuador. She wants to make sure the Mindo harlequin toad doesn't fall back into extinction. "Each rediscovery gives us a second chance to develop better conservation plans," she says. "Not every day do we have the chance to rediscover a species that we believed to be extinct."
36．Why were the scientists surprised at finding the Mindo harlequin toad
A．It could live for 30 years.
B．It had been thought to be extinct.
C．It was a foreign species in Ecuador.
D．It lived together with other species.
37．What does Costales say about the Mindo harlequin toad
A．It is huge in number.
B．It might disappear soon.
C．It can spread diseases quickly.
D．It may have survived chytrid.
38．What does Costales plan to do
A．Treat harlequin toads for chytrid.
B．Discover more endangered species.
C．Save the Mindo harlequin toad from extinction.
D．Take harlequin toads back to the zoology museum.
39．Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A．Lost and Found B．Back to the Wild
C．Hope for Animals D．The Known and the Unknown

In the early 1990s, Ashok Kumar and I ran TRAFFIC-India, an organisation that worked to stop illegal wildlife trade in India. That was when the first letter from the famous American conservationist (自然环境保护主义者), George Schaller, arrived on our desk. Tibetan antelopes were being killed in their thousands, he wrote, and their wool (毛) was taken illegally to India. "No use in India for antelope wool," we wrote back, not knowing the seriousness of the illegal trade here. Schaller sent us back pictures to prove it and asked us to begin a Tibetan investigation.
We dug around and found that Schaller was right. We realised that antelope wool was the same as shahtoosh, the famous Kashmiri shawl (披肩). The shawl was made from the underwool of Tibetan antelopes, considered the warmest and softest wool in the world. A single shawl needed the wool of three to five antelopes. We had to save the animal.
Then began India's first campaign (运动) to protect Tibetan antelopes. A lot of designers and models joined us. Slowly, the message was being driven home: shahtoosh was out of style, shahtoosh was illegal and alternative (可替代的) shawls would save the antelopes from extinction.
There were, of course, those who tried to buck the campaign. The wife of a well-known army officer of India refused to give up her shahtoosh till she was forced out of it. She said: "I know the lovely antelope is dying and I so want to save it. But, the shawl is so light on my shoulders!"
Someone suggested farming the antelopes, but studies showed that it was an impractical idea. The antelopes could not even survive in low altitude zoos. The underwool is nature's gift to the animal to keep it warm at great heights. Later, we set up a business to process high quality pashmina wool and make an alternative shawl.
In 2000, good news came in from China. With strict policies in place, the number of Tibetan antelopes was on the rise again.
40．What did the author think of the antelope wool trade Schaller mentioned at first
A．It wasn't true.
B．It wasn't unusual.
C．It was a serious matter.
D．It was difficult to deal with.
41．What can be inferred about India's first campaign to protect Tibetan antelopes
A．It got a lot of support.
B．It was unacceptable to models.
C．It failed to achieve its purpose.
D．It was brought to an end by Ashok Kumar.
42．What does the underlined word "buck" in paragraph 4 probably mean
A．Lead. B．Fight against.
C．Change. D．Keep up.
43．What measure did India take to save Tibetan antelopes
A．Cutting down the shawl business.
B．Asking farmers to raise antelopes.
C．Stopping keeping antelopes in zoos.
D．Encouraging the use of pashmina wool shawls.
