When you were trying to figure out what to buy for the
environmentalist on your holiday list, fur probably didn't cross your mind. But
some ecologists and fashion(时装)enthusiasts are
trying to bring back the market for fur made from nutria(海狸鼠).
Unusual fashion shows in New Orleans and Brooklyn have showcased
nutria fur made into clothes in different styles. "It sounds crazy to talk
about guilt-free fur—unless you understand that the nutria are destroying vast
wetlands every year," says Cree McCree, project director of Righteous Fur.
Scientists in Louisiana were so concerned that they
decided to pay hunters $5 a tail. Some of the fur ends up in the fashion shows
like the one in Brooklyn last month.
Nutria were brought there from Argentina by fur farmers
and let go into the wild. "The ecosystem down there can't handle this
non-native species(物种). It's destroying the
environment. It's them or us," says Michael Massimi, an expert in this
field.
The fur trade kept nutria in check for decades, but when
the market for nutria collapsed in the late
1980s, the cat-sized animals multiplied like crazy.
Biologist Edmond Mouton runs the nutria control program
for Louisiana. He says it's not easy to convince people that nutria fur is
green, but he has no doubt about it. Hunters bring in more than 300,000 nutria
tails a year, so part of Mouton's job these days is trying to promote fur.
Then there's Righteous Fur and its unusual fashions. Model
Paige Morgan says, "To give people a guilt-free option that they can wear
without someone throwing paint on them—I think that's going to be a massive
thing, at least here in New York. "Designer Jennifer Anderson admits it
took her a while to come around to the opinion that using nutria fur for her
creations is morally acceptable. She's trying to come up with a label to attach
to nutria fashions to show it is eco-friendly.
22．What is the purpose of the fashion shows in New Orleans and Brooklyn
A．To promote guilt-free fur. B．To expand the fashion market.
C．To introduce a new brand. D．To celebrate a winter holiday.
23．Why are scientists concerned about nutria
A．Nutria damage the ecosystem seriously.
B．Nutria are an endangered species.
C．Nutria hurt local cat-sized animals.
D．Nutria are illegally hunted.
24．What does the underlined word "collapsed" in paragraph 5 probably mean
A．Boomed. B．Became mature.
C．Remained stable. D．Crashed.
25．What can we infer about wearing fur in New York according to Morgan
A．It's formal. B．It's risky.
C．It's harmful. D．It's traditional.
五、任务型阅读
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
China has made great improvements in environmental protection during the past 70 years. 26． Each species on Earth has a role to play in the ecosystem.
In recent decades,a series of wildlife-protection movements have been carried out by the central government. 27． The giant panda and the crested ibis(朱鹮) are among these successful stories.
The giant panda used to have a population of 1,114 in the 1970s. It now totals 1,864 thanks to 52 protection areas. 28． By the end of last year, seven of the nine pandas released had survived in the wild. 29． In 1981,only seven crested ibises were found in Yangxian County,Shaanxi Province.Since then,breeding programs have helped the population reach 2,000. China has even sent crested ibises to Japan and South Korea in recent years to help with the species' survival.
30． Key projects will be continually carried out to improve protection,including making the lists of wild animals and plants under State protection,and also fighting against illegal wildlife trade, which includes ivory(象牙).
A.Another species was once thought to be extinct.
B.Protecting wildlife is, without doubt, an important part.
C.China will continue its efforts of the wildlife protection.
D.People call for immediate protection of the remaining species.
E.Scientists have worked to feed pandas and then release them into the wild.
F.As environmental damage has increased, signs of change have appeared around the world.
G.Several species in danger of extinction have made impressive progress thanks to the methods.

When you were trying to figure out what to buy for the
environmentalist on your holiday list, fur probably didn't cross your mind. But
some ecologists and fashion(时装)enthusiasts are

Unusual fashion shows in New Orleans and Brooklyn have showcased
nutria fur made into clothes in different styles. "It sounds crazy to talk

Scientists in Louisiana were so concerned that they

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一些生态学家和时装爱好者试图让海狸鼠毛皮重回市场及其原因。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测和推理判断三个题型的考查，是一篇生活类阅读，考生需要准确捕捉细节信息。并根据上下文的逻辑关系，进行分析，推理，从而选出正确答案。
22．考查推理判断。 根据第一段中的“ But some ecologists and fashion(时装)enthusiasts are trying to bring back the market for fur made from nutria(海狸鼠). ”不过，一些生态学家和时装爱好者正试图让海狸鼠毛皮市场复苏；以及第二段中的“ It sounds crazy to talk about guilt-free fur—unless you understand that the nutria are destroying vast wetlands every year ”除非你了解海狸鼠每年都在破坏大片的湿地，否则毫无愧疚地谈论毛皮听起来很不理智。故选A。
23．考查细节理解。 根据第四段中的“ Nutria were brought there from Argentina by fur farmers and let go into the wild. ”海狸鼠是由毛皮农民从阿根廷带到那里的，然后放归野外。可知海狸鼠是由阿根廷引进的非本地物种；以及“ The ecosystem down there can't handle this non-native species(物种). It's destroying the environment. It's them or us ”那里的生态系统无法处理这个非本地物种。它正在破坏环境。可知海狸鼠严重破坏了生态系统，故选A。
24．考查词义猜测。根据第五段“The fur trade kept nutria in check for decades, but when the market for nutria collapsed in the late 1980s, the cat-sized animals multiplied like crazy.”几十年来，毛皮贸易一直在控制海狸鼠，但当 1980 年代后期海狸鼠市场崩溃时，猫大小的动物疯狂地繁殖。“毛皮贸易控制了海狸鼠几十年”与“当海狸鼠市场在20世纪80年代末市场崩溃，这种猫般大小的动物疯狂地繁殖”存在转折关系，可推断出市场应该是"垮掉"了。故选D。
25．考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的“To give people a guilt-free option that they can wear without someone throwing paint on them—I think that's going to be a massive thing, at least here in New York.”给人们一个没有负罪感的选择，他们穿着皮草，却没有人朝他们泼油漆——我觉得那将是一件大事，至少在纽约是这样。可推断它是有危险的，故选B。
