Have you ever wondered what wild animals do when no one is watching
Low cost, dependable and small modern cameras offered a big help. Cameras placed in hard-to-reach places have shot everything from small desert cats to larger snow-lowing cats in the northern Rocky Mountains. Scientists have been able to document the “private” moments of wildlife with leading technology.
Grant Harris is a government biologist with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service in Albuquerque, New Mexico. In his words, “there’s no doubt that these wild cameras are important tools to learn new information on wildlife.” Harris said some images help scientists see the effects of climate change.
Researchers with the Wyoming Migration Initiative, or WMI, are among those using wild cameras along with global positioning systems, or GPS. But WMI director Matthew Kauffman says as those devices are limited, so is the amount of information they can gather from GPS. However, cameras can be left in very wild areas for days, weeks or even months. They can provide information on how many animals are moving over a given period of time.
Putting those cameras in place requires careful planning. Wild video can show details about animal behavior. However, wild cameras have their problems too. Animals such as wolverines and bears sometimes attack them. Scientists do not know if the attacks are the result of anger or interest. Also, the devices have become popular tools to help hunters look for animals. Some people argue that it is unfair to use the cameras that way.
Even with such problems, wild cameras are clearly an important scientific tool in researching wild animals.
8. What does the underlined word “document” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Remind. B. Enrich.
C. Appreciate. D. Record.
9. Which is a disadvantage of wild cameras
A. They cannot be left in the wild over a long period.
B. They cannot be placed in hard-to-reach areas.
C. They provide limited information.
D. They might be stolen by people.
10. Why do some people argue against using wild cameras
A. It is difficult to fix the cameras.
B. It helps hunters find animals easily.
C. It is hard to achieve careful planning.
D. It makes animals interested in the cameras.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards wild cameras
A. Doubtful. B. Positive.
C. Uncertain. D. Uncaring.
D
A team of communication professors from the Brigham Young University discovered that people using the social media platform Facebook can be divided into four different categories (类别) . Their findings basically tell us why an average of l.28 billion people check their Facebook every day, with most users spending about 35 minutes daily on Facebook.
To identify (鉴定) different kinds of Facebook users, the researchers made a list of 48 reasons why people use Facebook. They then asked study subjects to report their personal connection to the reasons, rating each from “most like me” to “least like me”. To get a better understanding of them, the researchers interviewed each subject.
Based on the results, the researchers identified four categories of Facebook users: relationship builders, town criers (街头公告员) , selfies (自拍) and window shoppers.
Relationship builders and selfies often post pictures, videos and text updates on their Facebook. Relationship builders post mainly to further strengthen the relationships they have beyond the virtual (虚拟的) world. Selfies are more focused on getting attention, likes and comments. Town criers often post information, and share news stories and details of events. On the other hand, window shoppers are more likely to be onlookers who prefer watching what other people do.
The researchers noted that Facebook users may place themselves in more than one of the categories. For example, most people are likely to be selfies. However, users can find themselves more in one category than the others.
12. What can we learn from paragraph 1
A. Most users visit Facebook every day.
B. Facebook seriously affects people’s normal lives.
C. 1.28 billion people in total have registered Facebook.
D. Users spend at most 35 minutes on Facebook every day.
13 What did the researchers ask the subjects to do
A. Posting pictures on Facebook.
B. Sharing what they do on Facebook.
C. Explaining why they use Facebook.
D. Dividing the users into four categories.
14. What is the difference between relationship builders and selfies
A. Selfies enjoy making comments on others.
B. Selfies intend to get more attention from others.
C. Relationship builders take an interest in the virtual world.
D. Relationship builders use Facebook to share details of events.
15. What is the main idea of the text
A. Facebook is becoming more and more popular.
B. People can’t live comfortably without Facebook.
C. Researchers suggest limiting time on Facebook.
D. Researchers have identified four kinds of Facebook users.

43. 考查时态和语态。句意：这场灾难是由恶劣的耕作方式造成的，几年来降雨量又很少，这使情况变得更糟。描述的是沙尘暴发生期间，时态为一般过去时，主语和“cause”之间还是被动的关系。故填was caused。
44. 考查介词。句意：这场灾难是由糟糕的耕作方式造成的，几年来降雨量又很少，这使情况变得更糟。这里with表伴随，符合句意。故填with。

第二节作文
Ladies and gentlemen,
Good evening. My name is Li Hua. I am from Class 1 Grade One. Many wild animals are facing the danger of extinction because of human activities.
As is known to us, to protect animals is to protect ourselves, so measures of the following should be taken: pollution standards are made to keep down poisons; killing off certain rare species is prohibited; national parks should be set up as wild life reserves. As a student, we should also protect animals in our daily life. When we see a stray cat or a stray dog, we’d better give it some food, as sometimes it is difficult for it to find food and it need something to fill its empty stomach, and what you afford is in great need. Whenever we see someone hurt an animal, we shouldn’t hesitate to stop them doing that.
Only if we human beings show our love to them can animals be preserved.
Thanks for listening!

Have you ever wondered what wild animals do when no one is watching
Low cost, dependable and small modern cameras offered a big help. Cameras placed in hard-to-reach places have shot everything from small desert cats to larger snow-lowing cats in the northern Rocky Mountains. Scientists have been able to document the “private” moments of wildlife with leading technology.
Grant Harris is a government biologist with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service in Albuquerque, New Mexico. In his words, “there’s no doubt that these wild cameras are important tools to learn new information on wildlife.” Harris said some images help scientists see the effects of climate change.
Researchers with the Wyoming Migration Initiative, or WMI, are among those using wild cameras along with global positioning systems, or GPS. But WMI director Matthew Kauffman says as those devices are limited, so is the amount of information they can gather from GPS. However, cameras can be left in very wild areas for days, weeks or even months. They can provide information on how many animals are moving over a given period of time.
Putting those cameras in place requires careful planning. Wild video can show details about animal behavior. However, wild cameras have their problems too. Animals such as wolverines and bears sometimes attack them. Scientists do not know if the attacks are the result of anger or interest. Also, the devices have become popular tools to help hunters look for animals. Some people argue that it is unfair to use the cameras that way.
Even with such problems, wild cameras are clearly an important scientific tool in researching wild animals.
8. What does the underlined word “document” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Remind. B. Enrich.
C. Appreciate. D. Record.
9. Which is a disadvantage of wild cameras
A. They cannot be left in the wild over a long period.
B. They cannot be placed in hard-to-reach areas.
C. They provide limited information.
D. They might be stolen by people.
10. Why do some people argue against using wild cameras
A. It is difficult to fix the cameras.
B. It helps hunters find animals easily.
C. It is hard to achieve careful planning.
D. It makes animals interested in the cameras.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards wild cameras
A. Doubtful. B. Positive.
C. Uncertain. D. Uncaring.
D
A team of communication professors from the Brigham Young University discovered that people using the social media platform Facebook can be divided into four different categories (类别) . Their findings basically tell us why an average of l.28 billion people check their Facebook every day, with most users spending about 35 minutes daily on Facebook.
To identify (鉴定) different kinds of Facebook users, the researchers made a list of 48 reasons why people use Facebook. They then asked study subjects to report their personal connection to the reasons, rating each from “most like me” to “least like me”. To get a better understanding of them, the researchers interviewed each subject.
Based on the results, the researchers identified four categories of Facebook users: relationship builders, town criers (街头公告员) , selfies (自拍) and window shoppers.
Relationship builders and selfies often post pictures, videos and text updates on their Facebook. Relationship builders post mainly to further strengthen the relationships they have beyond the virtual (虚拟的) world. Selfies are more focused on getting attention, likes and comments. Town criers often post information, and share news stories and details of events. On the other hand, window shoppers are more likely to be onlookers who prefer watching what other people do.
The researchers noted that Facebook users may place themselves in more than one of the categories. For example, most people are likely to be selfies. However, users can find themselves more in one category than the others.
12. What can we learn from paragraph 1
A. Most users visit Facebook every day.
B. Facebook seriously affects people’s normal lives.
C. 1.28 billion people in total have registered Facebook.
D. Users spend at most 35 minutes on Facebook every day.
13 What did the researchers ask the subjects to do
A. Posting pictures on Facebook.
B. Sharing what they do on Facebook.
C. Explaining why they use Facebook.
D. Dividing the users into four categories.
14. What is the difference between relationship builders and selfies
A. Selfies enjoy making comments on others.
B. Selfies intend to get more attention from others.
C. Relationship builders take an interest in the virtual world.
D. Relationship builders use Facebook to share details of events.
15. What is the main idea of the text
A. Facebook is becoming more and more popular.
B. People can’t live comfortably without Facebook.
C. Researchers suggest limiting time on Facebook.
D. Researchers have identified four kinds of Facebook users.

【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述美国历史上最严重的沙尘暴灾害及其造成的恶劣后果。
36. 考查固定句型。句意：沙尘通常很厚，以至于你看不到太阳，而风有时有巨大的力量来移动沙丘。so …that… 如此… ....以至于... ...，引导结果状语从句，符合句意。故填so。
37. 考查名词。句意：沙尘通常很厚，以至于你看不到太阳，而风有时有巨大的力量来移动沙丘。“has”后缺少名词作宾语，应把strong变为名词。故填strength。
38. 考查形容词最高级。句意：这是美国历史上最严重的沙尘暴灾害。根据“in the history of the United States.”，可推断是最严重的一次，应把bad变为最高级形式。故填worst。
39. 考查非限制性定语从句。句意：近十年来，美国南部平原上刮起了沙尘，造成了严重的后果。空格应指代前一个句子，并在本句中做主语，因此缺少非限制性定语从句的连接代词。故填which。
40. 考查名词。句意：当他们外出时，人们无法呼吸，孩子们带着防尘面具上学。child为可数名词，故应变为复数形式。故填children。
41. 考查时态。句意：天空常常是黑暗的。描述的是当时最严重的一次沙尘暴期间的景象，应用一般过去时。故填was。
42. 考查现在分词。句意：在沙尘暴期间，超过500万英亩的土地变成了沙漠，迫使20万人离开家园。“force”在这里做状语，同主语之间是主动的关系，应该用现在分词。故填forcing。
43. 考查时态和语态。句意：这场灾难是由恶劣的耕作方式造成的，几年来降雨量又很少，这使情况变得更糟。描述的是沙尘暴发生期间，时态为一般过去时，主语和“cause”之间还是被动的关系。故填was caused。
44. 考查介词。句意：这场灾难是由糟糕的耕作方式造成的，几年来降雨量又很少，这使情况变得更糟。这里with表伴随，符合句意。故填with。
45. 考查固定句型。句意：花了三十多年的时间才改变了这一过程，重新开垦了这块土地。“It takes some time to do…”花费多少时间去做某事为固定句型。故填It。

第二节作文
Ladies and gentlemen,
Good evening. My name is Li Hua. I am from Class 1 Grade One. Many wild animals are facing the danger of extinction because of human activities.
As is known to us, to protect animals is to protect ourselves, so measures of the following should be taken: pollution standards are made to keep down poisons; killing off certain rare species is prohibited; national parks should be set up as wild life reserves. As a student, we should also protect animals in our daily life. When we see a stray cat or a stray dog, we’d better give it some food, as sometimes it is difficult for it to find food and it need something to fill its empty stomach, and what you afford is in great need. Whenever we see someone hurt an animal, we shouldn’t hesitate to stop them doing that.
Only if we human beings show our love to them can animals be preserved.
Thanks for listening!
