Ⅱ.阅读理解
You probably know that frogs hop.But did you know that there's a small frog in the Pacific Northwest that bellyflops(肚子先落水)? It's called a tailed frog.
Dr Rick Essner, who has been studying tailed frogs for the past few years, says, “ I've looked at thousands of jumps and have never seen them land on their feet like other frogs.” Most of the time, tailed frogs land on their stomachs and then bring their back legs in to prepare for another jump.
Essner first noticed these frogs because of the way they swim.Other frogs kick both of their back legs at the same time.But when a tailed frog swims, it pushes first with one leg and then the other.
To try to find out why tailed frogs bellyflop, Essner and other scientists collected and filmed different kinds of frogs.They found that all of the frogs start their jumps the same way: they hold out their legs.The change comes in the landing.Tailed frogs can't move their back legs as quickly as other frogs do.Maybe they don't need to.Tailed frogs live around water and quickly jump into the water to escape danger.
Early frogs developed around watery areas and could jump quickly into the water to escape danger.Scientists think those frogs blended in with (与……融合在一起) the green plants on the side of the rocky rivers, just like today's tailed frogs.“Ι would guess that other animals would have problems detecting them, ” explains Essner.When other animals find those early frogs, the frogs could jump into the river.They didn't need to continue hopping.
Tailed frogs and other kinds of frogs went their own ways about 200 million years ago.Tailed frogs stayed by rivers.Other kinds of frogs moved to places where new hopping skills allowed them to survive.
1．What's special about the tailed frog?
A．It has a long tail.
B．It jumps on one foot.
C．It starts its jump differently.
D．It lands differently from other frogs.
2．Why do tailed frogs bellyflop?
A．They have never left the water to live.
B．They have trouble in holding out their legs.
C．Their back legs can't catch up while jumping.
D．Their front legs develop better than the back ones.
3．The underlined word “detecting” in Paragraph 5 means “________”．
A．eating B．killing
C．using D．discovering
4．When they are in danger, the tailed frogs would ________．
A．jump into the water for protection
B．hop around quickly
C．hide in the green plants near the river
D．jump into the rocks

第二节　概要写作
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
The alarm clock always announces the start of another busy weekday in the morning. You jump out of bed, rush into the shower, into your clothes and out the door with hardly a moment to think. A stressful journey to work gets your blood pressure climbing. Once at the office, you glance through the newspaper with depressing stories or reports of disasters. In that sort of mood, who can get down to work, particularly some creative, original problem?solving work?
The way most of us spend our mornings is exactly opposite to the conditions that promote flexible, open?minded thinking. Imaginative ideas are most likely to come to us when we're unfocused. If you are one of those energetic morning people, your most inventive time comes in the early evening when you are relaxed. Sleepy people's lack of focus leads to an increase in creative problem?solving. By not giving yourself time to tune in to your wandering mind, you're missing out on the surprising solutions it may offer.
The trip you take to work doesn't help, either. The stress slows down the speed with which signals travel between neurons, making inspirations less likely to occur. And while we all should read a lot about what's going on in the world, it would not make you feel good for sure, so put that news website or newspaper aside until after the day's work is done.
So what would our mornings look like if we wanted to start them with a full capacity for creative problem?solving? We'd set the alarm a few minutes early and lie awake in bed, following our thoughts where they lead. We'd stand a little longer under the warm water of the shower, stopping thinking about tasks in favour of a few more minutes of relaxation. We'd take some deep breaths on our way to work, instead of complaining about heavy traffic. And once in the office—after we get a cup of coffee—we'd click on links not to the news of the day but to the funniest videos the web has to offer.

Ⅱ.【文章大意】 本文主要讲一种青蛙，它们跳入水中时肚子先落水；一位科学家Essner注意到这种青蛙，然后科学家们搜集并拍摄不同的青蛙，研究它们是怎样生存的，以及为什么这种青蛙会有这样一种特性。
1．D　细节理解题。由第一段的最后两句话“But did you know that there's a small frog in the Pacific Northwest that bellyflops(肚子先落水)? It's called a tailed frog.”可知，它们与其他青蛙着陆的方式不一样。故选D项。
2．C　细节理解题。根据第四段倒数第三句“Tailed frogs can't move their back legs as quickly as other frogs do.”可知，tailed frogs的后腿不能像其他青蛙的后腿一样移动得那么快。故选C项。
3．D　词义猜测题。根据前面的信息可知，tailed frogs和周围的植物融为了一体，所以其他的动物不会很容易发现它们。因此detect的意思为“发现”。故选D项。
4．A　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第一句“Early frogs developed around watery areas and could jump quickly into the water to escape danger.”可知，早期的青蛙是在水域生长，而且可以快速地跳入水中逃生。故选A项。
Ⅲ.第一节　One possible version：
Dear editor，
As we know, the number of wild animal is becoming smaller and smaller. Some of them are even dying out. The reasons are as follows：
To start with, people have been cutting down trees for buildings and the environment has been badly destroyed, causing some animals to lose their habitats and affecting the lives of some animals. In addition, to make money, some people have been killing rare wild animals.
In my opinion, it's time we took immediate measures to change the situation. Instead of cutting down tress, we are supposed to plant more trees to protect the animals' living conditions. At the same time, more nature reserves are expected to be set up. I believe as long as we take action immediately, we will live in harmony with animals and our life will become better.
Yours,
Li Hua
