Ⅰ.阅读理解
When
we
hear
the
word
“pyramid”there
is
little
doubt
that
Egypt
and
the
desert
come
to
mind.Did
you
know，however，that
continents
and
oceans
away—in
what
is
today
Central
America
and
Mexico—people
also
built
pyramids?
While
they
look
somewhat
different
from
the
ones
we
see
in
Egypt，they
also
were
built
with
great
skill.
The
pyramids
of
Central
America
were
built
by
the
Mayan(玛雅)
and
Aztec(阿芝台克)
peoples，as
well
as
other
smaller
groups.Both
Mayan
and
Aztec
cultures
built
pyramids
for
their
gods.They
thought
that
building
higher
pyramids
would
allow
them
to
get
close
to
heaven.These
cultures
believed
that
the
gods
were
found
in
nature.One
of
the
most
important
gods
was
the
sun.Many
of
the
pyramids
were
for
their
sun
god.At
the
top
of
the
pyramids
they
built
temples
to
make
the
gods
happier.However，pyramids
were
not
used
only
for
their
gods.
Before
Europeans
came
to
the
area
in
the
1500s，many
of
the
cultures
of
the
Americas，such
as
the
Mayan
and
Aztec，had
much
knowledge
about
mathematics
and
astrology.They
thought
that
the
night
sky
could
be
used
as
a
mirror
to
explain
many
aspects
of
life，which
is
the
reason
why
they
studied
it
carefully.The
temples
on
top
of
the
pyramids
were
also
used
as
places
for
watching
the
skies.The
Mayans
had
a
solid
understanding
of
the
movement
of
stars
and
planets.This
helped
them
understand
the
seasons.They
were
the
first
to
create
a
365－day
calendar.
( )1.Why
did
they
build
pyramids?
A．For
their
king.
B．For
themselves.
C．For
their
gods
and
to
study
the
sky.
D．For
the
moon.
( )2.Which
of
the
following
sentences
is
NOT
true?
A．Before
Europeans
came
to
the
area，the
Mayans
and
Aztecs
had
no
knowledge
about
mathematics
and
astrology.
B．Building
higher
pyramids
would
allow
the
Mayans
and
Aztecs
to
get
close
to
heaven.
C．Many
of
the
pyramids
were
for
the
sun
god.
D．The
Mayan
and
Aztec
pyramids
built
look
somewhat
different
from
the
ones
built
in
Egypt.
( )3.Where
did
people
build
pyramids
besides
Egypt?
A．In
Central
America.
B．In
Japan.
C．In
Egypt.
D．Not
mentioned.
( )4.Where
can
you
find
the
passage?
A．In
a
newspaper.
B．In
an
advertisement.
C．In
a
novel.
D．In
a
science
magazine.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了除了埃及，中美洲的玛雅人和阿芝台克人也建造了金字塔，他们建造金字塔是为了他们的神和研究天空。
1．C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Both
Mayan
and
Aztec
cultures
built
pyramids
for
their
gods.”和第三段中的“The
temples
on
top
of
the
pyramids
were
also
used
as
places
for
watching
the
skies.”可知，玛雅人和阿芝台克人建造金字塔是为了他们的神和研究天空，故C项正确。
2．A 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Before
Europeans
came
to
the
area
in
the
1500s，many
of
the
cultures
of
the
Americas，such
as
the
Mayan
and
Aztec，had
much
knowledge
about
mathematics
and
astrology.”可知，在欧洲人来到这里之前，玛雅人和阿芝台克人就对数学和占星学有一定的了解，故A项正确。
3．A 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“in
what
is
today
Central
America
and
Mexico—people
also
built
pyramids”可知，除了埃及，中美洲的人也建造了金字塔，故A项正确。
4．D 文章出处题。通读全文可知，本文介绍了除了埃及，中美洲的玛雅人和阿芝台克人也建造了金字塔，他们建造金字塔是为了他们的神和研究天空，这一话题属于科学范畴，应该出自一本科学杂志，故D项正确。

The

“We're

Doug

【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者看到了一位身残志坚的女运动员跑完了马拉松，并由此受到鼓舞：一想起那位女运动员，再难的事情也变得容易了。
1．B 我的工作是在救护车里跟在运动员后面以防他们有人需要救治。
2．D 根据第四段第一句中的
“we
were
already
watching
our
‘last
runner’”可知，救护车跟在最后一名运动员后面。
3．C 根据后文可知，前面的运动员跑得很快，都“消失了”，因此“我”的目光被最后一名的妇女吸引。run跑；separate分开；disappear消失；appear出现，似乎。
4．B 根据后文可知，这位妇女几乎都不能走，所以可以判断她的腿有残疾。
5．D 最后，她成为“我”视线中唯一的一名运动员了。quickly快速地；unluckily不幸地；naturally自然地；finally最后。
6．C 根据上下文可知，她一边以坚定的意志向前“跑”，“我”一边心生敬佩，注视着她。
7．C 根据生活常识可知，人们去那里是为了给运动员加油助威的，所以应是加油助威的人群早已经回家了。cheering意为“喝彩的”。tired疲倦的；waiting等待的；impatient不耐烦的。
8．B 本句是一个倒装句。主语是
“a
lone
man”，谓语是
“waited”，
“standing
straight
and
ever
so
proud”是伴随状语。
9．C 他紧握着系在一根柱子上的带子的另一端(以便让这位女运动员冲线)。hold意为“握着”，符合句意。
10．B 根据生活常识可知，带子应是系在一根柱子上。keep保持；tie拴，系；connect连接；lead带领。
11．D 根据后文的描述可知，从那一天，那位女运动员成为激励“我”人生的一部分。
12．D 这位妇女参赛的目的不是为击败其他运动员或者获奖。beat
sb.意为“打败某人”。follow跟随；hope希望；encourage鼓励。
13．A 她是去完成她所开始的事情。由后面的
“set
out
(开始)”可知，这里应用
finish。
14．D 当我认为事情太难的时候，我就会想起最后的运动员。
15．C “我”意识到再难的事也变得容易了。

【语篇解读】这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。文章主要讲了受父亲的影响，作者小时候很爱运动。当作者搬家后，作者的新学校不太重视体育运动。在接下来的几年里，除了学校的体育课，作者停止了锻炼。后来，作者发现自己的身体素质变差，于是，重新开始运动。
1．greatly 考查副词。句意：我的爸爸是一个狂热的跑步者，他在我小的时候对我影响很大。该空修饰动词influenced，用副词，所以填greatly。
2．to 考查介词。句意：然而，当我搬家时，我的新学校不太重视体育运动，也没有像足球或跑步这样的课外活动。pay
attention
to
意为“重视”，该短语是固定短语，所以填to。
3．stopped 考查时态。描述发生在过去的事情，用一般过去时，所以填stopped。
4．healthy 考查形容词。句意：我看起来很健康。该空作was后的表语，用形容词，所以填healthy。
5．To
help 考查不定式。句意：为了帮助自己重新恢复体形，我决定开展一种运动。文中表示“为了”，作目的状语，用不定式，所以填To
help。
6．decision 考查名词。该空作made的宾语，用名词，所以填decision。
7．that/which 考查定语从句。先行词是
“a
swimming
pool”，关系词在从句中作宾语，指物，所以填that/which。
8．relaxing 考查形容词。句意：我发现在游泳池里游泳令人很放松。
“find
sb.＋adj.”这是一个固定结构，v.＋ed修饰人，v.＋ing修饰物，这里修饰物，所以填relaxing。
9．an 考查冠词。句意：我每周游泳三次，每次一小时。文中泛指“一小时”，hour以元音音素开头，所以填不定冠词an。
10．fitter 考查比较级。句意：我希望我很快就能开始感受到定期锻炼的好处，而且会比以前更健康。根据than
before可知用比较级，所以填fitter。UNIT

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
During
my
time
abroad
in
college，I
traveled
in
Europe，and
it
completely
changed
my
life.It
changed
my
view
on
the
world
and
on
my
life
goals
in
general.So
with
that
experience，I
always
knew
I
wanted
to
travel
more.During
school
breaks
and
immediately
after
graduation，I
took
three
other
long
backpacking
trips
around
Asia，the
Middle
East，and
Europe
again.At
that
point
I
realized
I
had
visited
some
50
countries.My
goal
was
to
visit
100
countries
by
the
time
I
was
30.For
whatever
reason，I
thought
that
sounded
cool.I
ended
up
achieving
that
goal
at
about
25.
In
2006，I
got
an
email
from
a
friend
that
there
was
actually
a
record
of
the
youngest
to
visit
every
country
in
the
world.I
basically
assessed
how
long
I
had
to
beat
the
record
and
where
I
had
to
go.Even
if
I
didn't
get
the
record，it'd
still
be
fun
and
I'd
get
to
see
the
whole
world.It
turns
out
it
was
a
great
decision，and
I
have
done
so
much
around
the
world.I
became
the
youngest
American
to
visit
every
country
in
2011
when
I
was
32
after
safely
visiting.
But
like
everyone，I
needed
to
make
money
to
fund
the
travel
I
wanted，so
I
got
a
proper
Wall
Street
job，worked
really
hard，and
did
pretty
well.But
in
the
summer
of
2008，I
simply
resigned
my
position
at
a
major
Wall
Street
firm.It
happened
right
before
the
collapses
of
several
major

【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。本文作者主要介绍了自己成为世界上最年轻的周游每个国家的美国旅行者的经历。
1．D 细节理解题。根据第一段倒数第一、三句“My
goal
was
to
visit
100
countries
by
the
time
I
was
30…I
ended
up
achieving
that
goal
at
about
25.”可知，在作者25岁时，他已经实现了去一百个国家旅行的目标。
2．B 推理判断题。根据最后一段第三句“…so
it
made
me
look
smart,
but
it
was
purely
coincidence.”可知，作者在经济危机前的离职是幸运的。
3．C 主旨大意题。综观全文可知，作者在本文主要介绍了他的旅行经历。
B
Elephants
are
able
to
know
the
difference
between
a
man
and
a
woman，and
can
tell
an
adult
(成年人)
from
a
child—all
from
the
sound
of
a
human
voice.This
is
according
to
a
study
in
which
researchers
played
voice
recordings
to
wild
African
elephants.And
this
suggests
that
animals
have
grown
to
listen
for
and
avoid
them.
Prof.Karen
McComb
and
Dr
Graeme
Shannon
from
the
University
of
Sussex
led
the
study.They
explained
that
in
former
research
they
had
used
similar
experiments
to
show
that
elephants
could
tell
from
the
sound
of
a
lion—whether
the
animal
was
a
female
(雌性)
or
a
more
dangerous
male
(雄性)．
Prof.McComb
wanted
to
find
out
if
the
animals
used
their
very
sharp
sense
of
hearing
to
recognize
danger
from
humans.
The
scientists
recorded
Masai
men，women
and
children
saying，in
their
own
language，“Look，look
over
there，a
group
of
elephants
are
coming.”
They
also
recorded
Kamba
men
saying
this
phrase.
Masai
people
often
come
across
elephants，which
can
result
in
violent
(暴力的)
hunting.Kamba
people，however，mainly
feed
on
agriculture，which
does
not
generally
bring
them
into
violent
touch
with
the
animals.
When
the
team
played
recordings
of
these
different
voices
through
a
hidden
speaker，they
found
that
elephant
family
groups
showed
more
fear
in
response
to
the
voice
of
a
Masai
man
than
to
a
Kamba
man's
voice.And
the
adult
male
Masai
voices
encouraged
far
more
of
these
defensive
reactions
than
the
voices
of
women
or
boys.
( )4.How
did
the
researchers
get
to
know
the
elephants'
special
ability?
A．By
watching
the
elephants
in
the
zoo.
B．By
playing
voice
recordings
to
them.
C．By
recording
the
behaviors
of
elephants.
D．By
communicating
with
them
in
a
special
way.
( )5.We
can
learn
from
the
passage
that
elephants
are
especially
afraid
of
________.
A．Masai
men
B．Masai
women
C．Kamba
men
D．Kamba
women
( )6.What
is
the
best
title
for
the
passage?
A．Elephants
and
Human
Beings
B．Differences
Between
Human
Voices
C．Elephants
Recognize
Human
Voices
D．Elephants
at
War
With
Human
Beings
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，一项研究表明，大象能根据人类说话的声音判断出人类的性别，是否为成人以及对它们的危险程度。
4．B 细节理解题。由第一段最后一句“This
is
according
to
a
study
in
which
researchers
played
voice
recordings
to
wild
African
elephants.”可知，研究人员通过给野生非洲大象播放录音，发现其有这种能力。故选B。
5．A 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“And
the
adult
male
Masai
voices
encouraged
far
more
of
these
defensive
reactions
than
the
voices
of
women
or
boys.”可知，成年的马塞男人的声音比女人和男孩的声音会引发大象更多激烈反应。故选A。
6．C 主旨大意题。结合全文可知，研究表明，大象可以根据人类说话的嗓音来判别是成年人还是小孩，是男性还是女性以及可能有的危险程度，这足以说明本文主要讲大象能识别人类的声音。故选C。
Ⅱ.七选五
Every
animal
sleeps，but
the
reason
for
this
has
remained
foggy.When
lab
rats
are
not
allowed
to
sleep，they
die
within
a
month.__1__
One
idea
is
that
sleep
helps
us
strengthen
new
memories.__2__
We
know
that，while
awake，fresh
memories
are
recorded
by
reinforcing
(加强)
connections
between
brain
cells，but
the
memory
processes
that
take
place
while
we
sleep
have
been
unclear.
Support
is
growing
for
a
theory
that
sleep
evolved
so
that
connections
between
neurons(神经元)
in
the
brain
can
be
weakened
overnight，making
room
for
fresh
memories
to
form
the
next
day.__3__
Now
we
have
the
most
direct
evidence
yet
that
he
is
right.__4__
The
synapses(神经元突触)
in
the
mice
taken
at
the
end
of
a
period
of
sleep
were
18
per
cent
smaller
than
those
taken
before
sleep，showing
that
the
connections
between
neurons
weaken
while
sleeping.
If
Tononi's
theory
is
right，it
would
explain
why，when
we
miss
a
night's
sleep，we
find
it
harder
the
next
day
to
concentrate
and
learn
new
information—our
brains
may
have
smaller
room
for
new
experiences.
Their
research
also
suggests
how
we
may
build
lasting
memories
over
time
even
though
the
synapses
become
thinner.The
team
discovered
that
some
synapses
seem
to
be
protected
and
stayed
the
same
size.__5__
“You
keep
what
matters，”
Tononi
says.
A．We
should
also
try
to
sleep
well
the
night
before.
B．It's
as
if
the
brain
is
preserving
its
most
important
memories.
C．Similarly，when
people
go
for
a
few
days
without
sleeping，they
get
sick.
D．The
processes
take
place
to
stop
our
brains
becoming
loaded
with
memories.
E．That's
why
students
do
better
in
tests
if
they
get
a
chance
to
sleep
after
learning.
F．“Sleep
is
the
price
we
pay
for
learning，”
says
Giulio
Tononi，who
developed
the
idea.
G．Tononi's
team
measured
the
size
of
these
connections，or
synapses，in
the
brains
of
12
mice.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了研究发现睡眠可以让记忆变得更好。
1．C 首句指出每种动物都要睡觉，但原因仍然是个谜。接下来是具体例证，如实验室的老鼠被剥夺了睡眠，一个月内就会死亡，同样，人类如果连续几天不睡觉，就会生病。故选C。
2．E 该段首句提出了第一个假设，睡眠帮助我们巩固新的记忆。与这个论点相呼应的例子是E项，该项中的that指代的就是前面的假设，也就是说，这个假设能够解释为什么学生在学习完如果有机会睡一觉，他们会在考试中发挥更好。
3．F 由下段首句中的代词he可知，该空中必然包含一个人名，否则he就失去了所指对象，浏览各选项，可锁定F项和G项，但只有F项能与本段的内容衔接，也就是说，睡眠会帮助清除记忆，为新记忆腾出空间。按照研究人员Tononi的说法，睡眠是我们为学习付出的代价。
4．G 该段首句说“现在我们有最直接的证据证明他的假设是对的”，那接下来应该是具体描述该证据。此外，该空后面一句话解释了实验的结果和意义。综合看来，只有G项符合语境，指出了研究团队、实验对象及实验内容。
5．B 由最后一段第二句及空格后的“you
keep
what
matters
(你记住要紧的事情)”可知B项“这就好像是大脑在保存最重要的记忆。”符合语境。

【语篇解读】这是一篇议论文。生活是艰难的，这是一个伟大的真理。一旦我们真正理解并接受它，生活就不再困难。正因为如此，明智的人应学会不要害怕，而要欢迎问题带来的痛苦。
1．truth 考查名词。根据上文，great是形容词，修饰名词，故填truth。
2．However 考查副词。句意：一旦我们真正理解并接受它，生活就不再困难。然而，我们大多数人并没有完全认识到这一点。此处前后句是一种转折关系，因为空前有逗号，故答案为However。
3．What 考查主语从句。句意：让生活变得困难的是，面对和解决问题的过程是非常痛苦的。此处是主语从句，从句缺少引导词，从句谓语动词缺少主语，结合句意可知，答案为What。
4．based 考查非谓语动词。问题的本质决定了它会引起悲伤、遗憾、愤怒或恐惧。本句为过去分词作后置定语修饰problems，故填based。
5．uncomfortable 考查形容词。句意：这些都是不舒服的感觉，通常和身体上的疼痛一样痛苦。此处是形容词修饰名词，结合句意可知，答案为uncomfortable。
6．that 考查强调句式。句意：在解决问题的整个过程中，生命才有了意义。结合句意可知，此处是强调句型，故答案为that。
7．to
solve 考查非谓语动词。短语the
ability
to
do
sth.意为“做某事的能力”，是动词不定式作后置定语，故答案为to
solve。
8．Learning 考查非谓语动词。本句已经存在谓语动词且句中没有连词，故learn只能作非谓语，在句中作主语应用动名词形式，故填Learning。
9．of 考查介词。句意：从遇到和解决问题的痛苦中学习是非常有益的。固定短语be
of
great
benefit意为“非常有利”，故答案为of。
10．the 考查定冠词the。此处表示“特指”，故答案为the。UNIT

New
Lives
for
Old
Phones
When
a
new
mobile
phone
starts
to
be
sold
in
stores，many
people
rush
out
to
buy
one.We
all
want
the
newest，latest
thing.__1__
Mike
Townsend
works
at
Total
Recall，a
mobile
phone
recycling
company.“Don't
throw
your
old
phone
away.__2__
If
you
throw
it
away，it
goes
with
other
rubbish
to
become
landfill.In
other
words，it
is
put
in
a
big
hole
in
the
ground
and
it
becomes
a
big
problem，”
he
says.
Mobile
phones
contain
some
poisonous
materials.If
your
phone
goes
to
a
landfill，these
poisonous
materials
can
get
out
and
get
into
the
water
under
the
ground.That's
the
water
we
need
to
drink
or
water
goes
into
rivers
or
the
ocean.__3__
That's
a
lot
of
landfill
and
a
lot
of
poisonous
materials.
“At
Total
Recall，we
separate
the
old
phones
into
pieces.Most
of
the
materials
in
the
mobile
phones
can
be
recycled
and
used
again.__4__
For
example，phone
batteries
contain
nickel
and
cadmium.The
nickel
is
used
to
make
steel
and
the
cadmium
can
be
used
to
make
new
batteries，”
explains
Mike.
“__5__
You
can
usually
just
take
it
into
a
mobile
phone
shop
and
they
will
send
it
to
us，”
says
Mike.
So
before
you
throw
that
old
mobile
phone
away，use
it
the
last
time:
search
for
a
recycler
near
you
and
give
them
a
call.
A．Recycling
your
old
phone
is
easy.
B．Send
it
to
us
and
we'll
recycle
it.
C．How
much
is
your
old
mobile
phone
worth?
D．But
what
should
we
do
with
our
old
mobile
phones?
E．Millions
of
mobile
phones
are
thrown
away
every
year.
F．Recycling
materials
helps
keep
the
environment
greener
and
cleaner.
G．We
take
apart
the
old
phones
and
they
are
used
to
make
new
products.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章叙述的是“旧手机的新生活”，在你扔掉旧手机之前，最后一次使用它：在你附近找一个回收商，给他们打个电话。
1．D 上文提到“当一款新手机开始在商店销售时，许多人会冲出去买一部手机。我们都想要最新的东西。”承接上文，D项
“But
what
should
we
do
with
our
old
mobile
phones？(但是我们应该怎么处理我们的旧手机？)”符合语境。因为买了新手机自然会想到如何处理旧手机。该项中的but将上下文紧密连在一起，故选D。
2．B 上文提示“不要扔掉你的旧手机。”下文提示“如果你把它扔掉，它会和其他垃圾一起变成垃圾填埋场。”承接上下文，
B项
“Send
it
to
us
and
we'll
recycle
it.(把它寄给我们，我们会回收它。)”
符合语境，故选B。
3．E 根据空格下文
“That's
a
lot
of
landfill
and
a
lot
of
poisonous
materials.(那就形成了很多垃圾填埋场和产生了很多有毒物质。)”可知，that指代的是“扔掉手机这件事”，因此E项
“Millions
of
mobile
phones
are
thrown
away
every
year.(每年有数百万的手机被扔掉。)”符合题意，故选E。
4．G 根据空处后的for
example可知，空处应是一个总结性的句子，后面用例子进一步对空处进行解释。因此G项(我们把旧手机拆开然后用来制造新产品。)切题，上文中的
“be
recycled
and
used
again”也和该项中的
“make
new
products”相吻合，故选G。
5．A 下文提示“你可以把它带到手机商店，他们会把它寄给我们”。承接下文，A项
“Recycling
your
old
phone
is
easy.(回收旧手机很容易。)”切题。故选A。
Ⅱ.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。
Work
is
a
very
important
part
of
life
in
the
United
States.When
the
early
immigrants
came
to
this
country，they
brought
the
idea
that
work
was
the
way
to
God
and
heaven.This
attitude
still
influences
America
today.Work
is
not
only
important
for
the
salary，but
also
for
social
and
psychological
working，being
productive.For
most
Americans，they
are
what
they
do.What
happens，then，when
a
person
retires
at
the
age
of
sixty－five
or
seventy?
It's
easy
to
imagine
that
retirement
is
no
easy
thing.Retirees
often
feel
they
are
unproductive
and
no
longer
needed
by
others.
Once
people
retire，they
may
also
get
into
financial
trouble.Many
people
rely
on
Social
Security
checks
every
month.During
their
working
years，employees
contribute
a
certain
percentage
of
their
salaries
to
the
government.When
people
retire，they
receive
this
money
as
income.These
checks
do
not
provide
enough
money
to
live
on，however，because
prices
are
increasing
very
rapidly.After
retirement，they
have
to
change
their
lifestyles.They
have
to
spend
carefully
to
be
sure
that
they
can
afford
to
buy
food，fuel，and
other
necessities.
Of
course，not
all
senior
citizens
feel
sad
when
they
are
in
face
of
retirement.Working
for
so
many
years，they
eventually
have
time
to
spend
with
their
families
or
to
enjoy
their
hobbies
such
as
reading，traveling
or
joining
some
senior
citizen
clubs.Some
continue
to
work
part
time;
others
choose
to
do
volunteer
work
like
helping
young
people
to
get
started
in
new
business.
American
government
is
taking
steps
to
ease
the
problems
of
retired
people.They
are
building
new
housing，offering
discounts
in
stores
and
museums
and
on
buses，and
providing
other
services，such
as
free
courses，food
service，and
help
with
housework.It
is
wise
to
do
so.Retired
citizens
are
an
important
part
of
the
population
and
their
special
needs
must
be
concerned
about.After
all，everyone
will
be
a
senior
citizen
someday.
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
One
possible
version：
Work
plays
an
extremely
important
role
in
American
culture,
so
people
find
retirement
difficult
as
they
may

Ⅰ.阅读理解
The
Fennec
fox
is
also
known
as
the
desert
fox
since
it
survives
in
the
Sahara
Desert.It
is
the
smallest
of
the
species
of
foxes，and
quite
a
few
people
wish
to
raise
it
as
a
pet
because
of
its
appearance.However，this
is
very
rare，as
it
needs
special
care
and
attention.Let's
take
a
look
at
the
basic
information
on
the
Fennec
fox，including
its
physical
appearance，natural
habitat，and
diet.
Physical
Appearance
The
Fennec
fox
is
the
smallest
type
of
fox，with
a
body
length
of
about
9.5－16
inches，and
6－inch－long
ears.It
weighs
only
around
one
kilogram.It
has
a
cream－colored，furry
body，with
a
black－tipped
tail.
Their
ears
are
the
largest
among
all
foxes
relative
to
the
body
size，which
not
only
provide
them
with
great
hearing，but
also
radiate
the
extreme
desert
heat
and
thus
help
to
keep
the
body
cool.Moreover，in
order
to
walk
on
the
hot
sand，a
Fennec
fox's
feet
are
covered
with
thick
fur.Not
only
that，the
feet
also
help
in
digging，as
this
animal
lives
under
the
ground.
Habitat
and
Lifestyle
The
habitat
of
this
animal
is
mainly
in
the
Sahara
Desert，and
also
in
other
parts
of
North
Africa.The
Fennec
fox
is
usually
active
during
the
night.This
character
helps
it
deal
successfully
with
the
extreme
heat
in
the
desert.
As
an
extremely
social
animal，it
often
lives
in
groups
of
ten
and
each
group
has
its
own
land.This
animal
is，however，aggressive
too，ready
to
attack，especially
in
the
mating
(交配)
season，when
they
all
compete
with
each
other
for
a
mate.
Diet
The
Fennec
fox
is
an
omnivore
(杂食动物)．While
it
can
survive
on
plants，it
also
needs
other
items
such
as
insects，rabbits，birds
and
eggs.Getting
used
to
living
in
the
desert
allows
it
to
survive
for
long
periods
without
any
water.They
are
known
to
take
in
water
when
eating
food，but
will
drink
water
if
available.
( )1.What
helps
the
Fennec
fox
survive
in
the
desert?
A．The
small
body
size.
B．The
great
hearing.
C．Getting
active
at
night.
D．Living
in
groups.
( )2.The
word
“radiate”
(Paragraph
3)
is
closest
in
meaning
to
________.
A．send
out
B．take
in
C．suffer
from
D．turn
down
( )3.What
can
we
learn
about
the
Fennec
fox
in
the
passage?
A．It
seldom
attacks
others.
B．It's
difficult
to
raise
it
as
a
pet.
C．It
can
survive
without
any
water.
D．It's
the
smallest
animal
in
the
desert.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了耳廓狐的形态特征、栖息环境、生活习性以及食性。
1．C 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The
Fennec
fox
is
usually
active
during
the
night.
This
character
helps
it
deal
successfully
with
the
extreme
heat
in
the
desert.”可知，耳廓狐通常在晚上活动，这一特点使它可以应对沙漠的酷热，故选C项。
2．A 词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“…
radiate
the
extreme
desert
heat
and
thus
help
to
keep
the
body
cool.”可知，耳廓狐通过耳朵调节热量，保持身体凉爽。保持身体凉爽应该是要散发热量，所以radiate的意思与A项接近。send
out发出；take
in吸收，欺骗，理解；suffer
from遭受；turn
down调小；拒绝。
3．B 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“However,
this
is
very
rare,
as
it
needs
special
care
and
attention.”可知，耳廓狐作为宠物非常少见，因为它需要特殊的护理，由此推断B项正确。根据第五段中的“This
animal
is,
however,
aggressive
too,
ready
to
attack”可知A项错误；根据最后一段中的“They
are
known
to
take
in
water
when
eating
food,
but
will
drink
water
if
available.”可知C项错误；根据第二段中的“The
Fennec
fox
is
the
smallest
type
of
fox
…”可知，耳廓狐是最小的狐狸，而不是沙漠最小的动物，故D项错误。

Show
Yourself
On
the
course
of
life,
the
first
step
of
the
lead
is
likely
to
mean
the
final
victory,
so
the
success
and
failure,
or
__1__
and
loss
of
your
life
may
lie
in
whether
you
dare
to
show
yourself
or
not.
As
a
student,
I
was
most
__2__
to
answer
questions
in
class,
and
I
found
that
the
students
around
were
just
like
me.
At
the
beginning
of
each
class,
when
the
professor
asked
a
question,
I
always
__3__
my
head,
for
fear
that
the
professor
saw
me.
In
a
foreign
language
class,
an
expert
from
the
Commercial
Bank
delivered
a
lecture.
The
speaker
always
wanted
someone
to
be
in
communication
with
him,
so
he
asked
how
many
students
in
the
classroom
learned
Economics,
but
no
one
__4__.
The
expert
said
with
a
smile,
“Let
me
tell
you
a(n)
__5__
first.”
“When
I
came
to
the
United
States
to
study,
there
are
often
lectures
delivered
in
the
__6__.
Each
time,
they
invite
an
expert
from
Wall
Street
or
a
transnational
company
to
make
a
speech.”
“Before
the
beginning
of
every
lecture,
I
found
a(n)
__7___
phenomenon(现象).
The
students
around
me
always
took
a
cardboard
folded
in
half,
wrote
their
__8__
with
the
most
eye－catching
color,
and
then
placed
it
on
the
seat.
Thus,
when
the
speaker
needed
the
response,
he
could
see
and
call
a
listener's
name
__9__.”
“I
couldn't
__10__
why
they
did
that,
so
I
asked
the
student
in
front
of
me.
He
told
me
with
a
smile,
‘the
speakers
are
all
top－ranking
people,
who
__11__
chances.
When
your
answer
is
to
his
__12__
or
surprise,
it
is
very
possible
that
he
will
give
you
more
__13__.
This
is
a
very
simple
reason.’”
“The
fact
was
also
like
that.
I
really
saw
a
few
students
around
me
went
to
__14__
in
the
first
class
company
because
of
their
excellent
insights
(洞察力).
This
had
a
great
influence
on
me.
The
chance
will
not
find
you
itself.
You
must
show
yourself
constantly
to
__15__
others'
attention
for
you
to
find
a
chance
on
the
cards.”

【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过美国学生听讲座写自己名字的故事告诉我们要积极展现自己，吸引别人的注意力，为自己赢得机会。

professor
saw
me”，可知作者课上害怕回答问题。proud
自豪的；ready准备好的；excited兴奋的；afraid害怕的。

fear
that
the
professor

could
see
and
call
a
listener's
name”，可知学生们在纸板上写上名字方便提问。addresses地址；numbers数字；names名字；cards卡片。

for有助于；make
up编造，组成，化妆，占；make

Dear_Sir/Madam，
I_think_Picture_No._18_is_the_best_choice_for_this_year's_World_Animal_Day.
In
the
picture
we
can
see
a
bear
and
a
hunter
are
on
the
seesaw.
The
hunter
is
aiming
at
the
fearful
bear.
He
is
ready
to
shoot.
Actually,
if
the
hunter
really
shoots,
not
only
the
bear
but
the
hunter
will
also
fall
down,
hurting
himself.
From
the
picture
we
can
clearly
see
that
both
animals
and
human
beings
are
in
the
same
boat.
If
animals
are
destroyed,
so
are
the
human
beings.
On
the
contrary,
if
human

and
animals
can
live
harmoniously,
we
will
enjoy
a
peaceful

The

is
very

the

is
shocking.
The
message
is
instructive.
Once
seen,
it
can
never
be

It
can
arouse

of

A
In
October
2010，I
left
my
hometown
and
family
in
Virginia
and
moved
to
Iowa
so
I
could
be
coached
by
Liang
Chow.I'd
been
dreaming
of
an
Olympic
gold
medal
since
I
was
eight－but
gradually，that
dream
seemed
like
a
million
miles
away.
On
January
2,2012，while
Mom
was
visiting
me
in
Iowa，I
told
her，“I
don't
like
gymnastics
anymore.I
want
to
try
dancing，or
become
a
singer.I
can
get
a
job
in
Virginia.I
just
want
to
come
home.”
Mom's
eyes
narrowed
and
her
expression
turned
to
stone.“You're
breaking
my
heart，Brie.”
She
said.“You've
been
doing
gymnastics
for
ten
years，and
now
you
want
to
quit?
Have
you
lost
your
mind？”
I
hadn't
lost
my
mind，but
I
had
lost
my
fire.It's
an
entirely
different
thing
to
push
toward
that
dream
when
you
feel
alone.“I'm
not
trying
to
break
your
heart，Mom，”
I
said.“I
just
don't
want
to
do
it
anymore.”
“I
know
you
miss
home.But
you've
signed
a
contract
that
says
you
will
represent
your
country
to
the
best
of
your
ability.You've
got
a
responsibility
to
your
teammates.And
now
you
just
want
to
walk
away?
I
will
not
let
you
be
dishonorable.If
you
don't
like
gymnastics，then
at
the
very
least，you
will
finish
the
season.”
The
next
afternoon
as
I
dragged
myself
into
Chow's
gym，I
thought
of
the
efforts
Mom
had
made
in
order
to
pay
for
my
training.I
thought
of
my
two
sisters:
Arielle，who
gave
up
ballroom
dancing，and
Joyelle，who
stopped
ice
skating
so
that
our
single
mom
could
afford
to
keep
me
in
gymnastics.
For
now，here's
what
you
need
to
know:
Exactly
210
days
before
I
ever
attempted
my
first
vault
(跳跃)
in
the
London
Summer
Olympics，my
leap
of
faith
came
this
close
to
ending
in
a
crash
of
disaster.

B
How
does
an
ecosystem(生态系统)work？What
makes
the
populations
of
different
species
the
way
they
are?
Why
are
there
so
many
flies
and
so
few
wolves?
To
find
an
answer，scientists
have
built
mathematical
models
of
food
webs，noting
who
eats
whom
and
how
much
each
one
eats.
With
such
models，scientists
have
found
out
some
key
principles
operating
in
food
webs.Most
food
webs，for
example，is
made
up
of
many
weak
links
rather
than
a
few
strong
ones.When
a
predator(掠食动物)always
eats
huge
numbers
of
a
single
prey(猎物)，the
two
species
are
strongly
linked;
when
a
predator
lives
on
various
species，they
are
weakly
linked.Food
webs
may
be
dominated
(支配)
by
many
weak
links
because
that
arrangement
is
stabler
over
the
long
term.If
a
predator
can
eat
several
species，it
can
survive
the
extinction
of
one
of
them.And
if
a
predator
can
move
on
to
another
species
that
is
easier
to
find
when
a
prey
species
becomes
rare，the
switch
allows
the
original
prey
to
recover.The
weak
links
may
thus
keep
species
from
driving
one
another
to
extinction.
Mathematical
models
have
also
shown
that
food
webs
may
be
unstable，where
small
changes
of
top
predators
can
lead
to
big
effects
throughout
entire
ecosystems.In
the
1960s，scientists
pointed
out
that
predators
at
the
top
of
a
food
web
had
a
surprising
amount
of
control
over
the
size
of
populations
of
other
species－including
species
they
did
not
directly
attack.
And
unplanned
human
activities
have
proved
the
idea
of
top－down
control
by
top
predators
to
be
true.In
the
ocean，we
fished
for
top
predators
such
as
cod
on
an
industrial
scale，while
on
land，we
killed
off
large
predators
such
as
wolves.These
actions
have
greatly
affected
the
ecological
balance.
Scientists
have
built
an
early－warning
system
based
on
mathematical
models.Ideally，the
system
would
tell
us
when
to
adapt
human
activities
that
are
pushing
an
ecosystem
toward
a
breakdown
or
would
even
allow
us
to
pull
an
ecosystem
back
from
the
borderline.Prevention
is
key，scientists
says,
because
once
ecosystems
pass
their
tipping
point(临界点)，it
is
remarkably
difficult
for
them
to
return.
( )21.What
have
scientists
discovered
with
the
help
of
mathematical
models
of
food
webs?
A．The
living
habits
of
species
in
food
webs.
B．The
rules
governing
food
webs
of
the
ecosystems.
C．The
ways
to
studying
the
species
in
the
ecosystems.
D．The
differences
between
weak
and
strong
links
in
food
webs.
( )22.A
strong
link
is
found
between
two
species
when
a
predator
________.
A．has
a
wide
food
choice
B．can
easily
find
new
prey
C．sticks
to
one
prey
species
D．can
quickly
move
to
another
place
( )23.What
will
happen
if
the
populations
of
top
predators
in
a
food
web
greatly
decline?
A．The
prey
species
they
directly
attack
will
die
out.
B．The
species
they
indirectly
attack
will
turn
into
top
predators.
C．The
living
environment
of
other
species
will
remain
unchanged.
D．The
populations
of
other
species
will
experience
unexpected
changes.
( )24.What
conclusion
can
be
drawn
from
the
examples
in
Paragraph
4?
A．Uncontrolled
human
activities
greatly
upset
ecosystems.
B．Rapid
economic
development
threatens
animal
habitats.
C．Species
of
commercial
value
dominate
other
species.
D．Industrial
activities
help
keep
food
webs
stable.
( )25.How
does
an
early
－warning
system
help
us
maintain
the
ecological
balance?
A．By
getting
illegal
practices
under
control.
B．By
stopping
us
from
killing
large
predators.
C．By
bringing
the
broken－down
ecosystems
back
to
normal.
D．By
signaling
the
urgent
need
for
taking
preventive
action.
【语篇解读】本文是说明文，介绍了借助食物链的数学模式，科学家们发现了一些食物链运行的关键规则。科学家们说，一旦生态系统越出了它的临界点，就很难将其复原。
21．B 细节理解题。根据第一段“With
such
models,
scientists
have
found
out
some
key
principles
operating
in
food
webs.”可知，借助食物链的数学模式，科学家们发现了食物链的运行规则。故选B。
22．C 细节理解题。根据第二段“When
a
predator
(掠食动物)
always
eats
huge
numbers
of
a
single
prey(猎物),
the
two
species
are
strongly
linked”可知，当捕食者总是吃大量的单一猎物，这两个物种是紧密相连的。故选C。
23．D 推理判断题。根据第三段“…predators
at
the
top
of
a
food
web
had,
a
surprising
amount
of
control
over
the
size
of
populations
of
other
species
they
did
not
directly
attack”可知，处于食物链顶端的食肉动物对它们没有直接攻击的其他物种的种群数量有着惊人的控制，由此可推断出，如果食物链顶端的食肉动物的数量大大下降，其他物种的种群将经历意想不到的变化。故选D。
24．A 推理判断题。根据第五段“Ideally,
the
system
would
tell
us
when
to
adapt
human
activities
that
are
pushing
an
ecosystem
toward
a
breakdown
or
would
even
allow
us
to
pull
an
ecosystem
back
from
the
borderline.”可知，人类过度的活动会将生态系统推向崩溃，由此可推断出，不受控制的人类活动极大地破坏了生态系统。故选A。
25．D 细节理解题。根据最后一段可知，早期预警系统发出紧急需要采取预防行动的信号帮助我们维持生态平衡。故选D。
第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
Recently
some
American
scientists
have
given
a
useful
piece
of
advice
to
people
in
industrialized
nations.They
say
people
should
eat
more
of
the
same
kind
of
food
eaten
by
humans
living
more
than
10,000
years
ago.__26__
The
scientists
say
that
the
human
life
has
changed
greatly.Our
bodies
have
not
been
able
to
deal
with
these
changes
in
lifestyle
and
this
had
led
to
new
kinds
of
sicknesses.__27__
So
they
are
called
“diseases
of
civilization”．Many
cancers
and
diseases
of
the
blood
system
are
examples
of
such
diseases.
Scientists
noted
that
people
in
both
the
Old
Stone
Age
and
the
New
Stone
Age
enjoyed
very
little
alcohol
or
tobacco，probably
none.__28__
However，a
change
in
food
is
one
of
the
main
differences
between
life
in
ancient
times
and
that
of
today.
Stone
Age
people
hunted
wild
animals
for
their
meat，which
had
much
less
fat
than
domestic
ones.They
ate
a
lot
of
fresh
wild
vegetables
and
fruits.They
did
not
have
milk
or
any
other
dairy
products，and
they
made
very
little
use
of
grains.__29__
We
eat
six
times
more
salt
than
our
ancestors.We
eat
more
sugar.We
eat
twice
as
much
fat
but
only
one
third
as
much
protein
and
much
less
vitamin
C.
__30__
But
scientists
say
that
we
would
be
much
healthier
if
we
eat
much
the
same
way
the
ancient
people
did，cutting
the
amount
of
fatty，salty
and
sweet
food.
A．Stone
Age
people
lived
a
simple
life.
B．But
today，we
enjoy
eating
a
lot
of
these.
C．In
that
case，they
would
live
much
healthier.
D．Ancient
people
also
got
lots
of
physical
exercise.
E．These
new
sicknesses
were
not
known
in
ancient
times.
F．People
today
probably
don't
want
to
live
like
our
ancestors.
G．Modern
people
used
to
suffer
from
“diseases
of
civilization”．
【语篇解读】本文是议论文。作者提出了一种观点，认为现代人的生活方式、食物结构发生了很大变化，随之而来的是各种
“文明病”的兴起。要阻止这种现象就要回到石器时代向古人学习。
26．C 前面提到“建议人们回到10,
000多年前，像当时的人们那样吃东西”，为什么呢？后续语境给出答案：为了健康。故选C。
27．E 上文提到，我们的身体不能应对生活方式的改变，因此带来了一些新的疾病，现在人们称之为“文明病”，而以前呢？在古代却没有听说过这些疾病。故选E。
28．D 此处关联语境为新石器和旧石器时代人们的生活方式，5个选项中只有D与之匹配：古人也有很多体育锻炼。因此D项符合语境。
29．B 前面为古人的饮食特点，下文为现代人的饮食结构，而此处承上启下，作为过渡。故选B项(但是今天，我们喜欢吃很多这样的东西)。
30．F 所在部分为全文结论。But表转折，后面为科学家建议的饮食结构，故空格处应表达与此相反的内容，故选F项(今天的人们可能不想像我们的祖先那样生活)。
第三部分 完形填空(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分)
Honesty
is
always
the
best
policy，especially
when
it
comes
to
mental
health
problems.In
a
TV
__31__，one
girl
gets
very
real
about
dealing
with
anxiety
and
panic.
“I
was
the
best
student
in
my
high
school.I
put
so
much
__32__
on
myself，”
she
said，“I
never
__33__
a
class.But
I
got
sick
during
10th
grade
and
I
started
to__34__.That
was
when
the
panic
attacks
began.”
She
goes
on
to
describe
what
a
panic
attack
__35__
like，“One
day
the
teacher
handed
me
my
grade
report，and
I
couldn't
breathe.My
heart
was
beating
very
__36__.I
felt
disconnected.I
saw
people
trying
to
talk
to
me
but
I
couldn't
hear
them.Afterwards，I
was
sent
to
__37__，”
she
shared.
It
was
then
when
the
attacks
started
happening
__38__
daily，and
they
haven't
stopped.“Last
year
I
started
college.And
I
can't
be
the
best
student
here
no
matter
how
hard
I
try，”
she
said.“Everyone
is
so
__39__.My
panic
attacks
got
so
bad
that
I
had
to
__40__
my
first
semester.”
However，now
she
is
facing
her
anxiety，and
things
are
getting
__41__.“I
used
to
try
to
hide
it.I
thought
that
__42__
nobody
knew，it
would
not
exist，”
she
said.“But
the
more
I
talk
about
my
issue，the
more
I
realize
that
other
people
experience
__43__
things.So
I'm
trying
to
express
it
more.I
had
a
great
teacher
who
told
me，‘Instead
of
letting
anxiety
keep
you
from
doing
your
art，let
it
be
the
thing
that
__44__
your
art.'”
Recently，women
all
over
the
world
took
to
Twitter
to
__45__
what
anxiety
is
like.We
are
never
alone.

【语篇解读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。一个女孩分享了她曾经的焦虑经历，后来，她勇敢面对焦虑，情况得以好转。作者借这个事例说明直面困难、坦陈问题往往是解决心理健康问题的良策。
31．B 根据“In
a
TV
__31__，
one
girl
gets
very
real
about
dealing
with
anxiety
and
panic.”可知，在一个电视节目中，一个女孩坦诚地分享了她克服焦虑和惊恐的经历，故B项正确。project意为“项目”；platform意为“讲台，站台，平台”；station意为“站”，都与语境不符。故选B。
32．C 根据前一句“I
was
the
best
student
in
my
high
school”，再结合该句“I
put
so
much
__32__
on
myself”可知，该句是说，在学校里这个女孩是一名优等生，她自己给自己施加了很多压力。C项pressure意为“压力”，符合语境。weight意为“体重”；height意为“身高”；measure意为“措施，尺寸”。
故选C。
33．C 根据上文“I
was
the
best
student
in
my
high
school”，再结合该句“I
never
__33__
a
class.”可知，这个女孩从没有考试不及格过；
fail意为“不及格”；join意为“加入”；succeed意为“成功”；attend意为“参加”。故选C。
34．A 根据上文“在十年级时这个女孩生病了”，可知成绩开始落后。fall
behind意为“落后”；fall
down意为“跌倒，倒塌”；leave
behind意为“留下，留在后头”；leave
alone意为“不管，别惹，让某人一个人待着”。故选A。
35．D 根据空处前后句可知，这个女孩是在描述焦虑症发作时的感觉。feel
like为固定搭配，意为“感觉像是……”，符合语境。故选D。
36．B 根据后一句“I
felt
disconnected.”可以判断，这个女孩看到了她的成绩单后感觉无法呼吸，心脏疯狂地(wildly)
跳动。mildly意为“温和地”；slowly意为“缓慢地”；severely意为“严重地”。故选B。
37．C 参见上题解析并结合该句可以判断，最后，这个女孩被送往医院。故选C。
38．D 根据空处所在句可知，从那时起焦虑几乎每天发生，没有停止过。D项意为“几乎”，符合语境。still意为“仍然”；always意为“总是”；simply意为“简单地；仅仅”。故选D。
39．C 根据空处前一句可知，在大学里，无论这个女孩怎么努力都无法成为最好的学生；可知，每个人都有天赋。
talented意为“有天赋的”，符合语境。ambitious意为“有雄心的”；anxious意为“焦虑的”；experienced意为“有经验的”。故选C。
40．D 这个女孩的焦虑症变得如此严重，她不得不休学。cancel意为“取消”，符合语境，故D项正确。arrange意为“安排，布置”；perform意为“表演，表现，执行”；operate意为“做手术，运转”。故选D。
41．A 根据上下文可知，女孩现在选择面对焦虑，并愿意分享她的经历，故推断事情得到了好转。故选A。
42．B 根据语境可知，空处引导条件状语从句，故此处用if。句意：我认为如果没人知道的话，焦虑就不会存在。故选B。
43．A 根据上下文可知，此处是指这个女孩对她的问题谈得越多，她就越意识到其他人也经历过相似的事情。文章的最后一段也是提示。故选A。
44．C 根据语境可知，空处应用与“keep
you
from
doing
your
art”意义相反的一个动词。motivate意为“激励”，符合语境。threaten意为“威胁”；stop意为“停止”；disagree意为“不同意”。故选C。
45．C 最近，世界各地的女性都在推特上分享了焦虑的经历。share意为“分享”，符合语境。advertise意为“做广告”；advise意为“建议”；compare意为“比较”。
故选C。

thousands
of
stray
animals
have
been
dead
46.________

is
an
animal
shelter
that
is
trying
to
put
47.________
end
to
this，but
they

48.________(excite)．
One
of
my
jobs
is
to
help
with
the
cats.Keeping
the

happy
and
healthy
is
the
number－one
concern.I
usually
play
with
them，brush
them，and
clean
49.________(they)
living
areas.A
cat
that
is
around
people
every
day
is
probably
50.________(comfortable)
than
a
cat
that
lives
alone
every
day.
My
second
responsibility
is
to
work
with
dogs.I
am
given
the
task
of
51.________(exercise)
the
dogs
on
the
outdoor
playgrounds.Only
after
you
spend
time
getting
along
with
them
can
you
really
get
to
know
them.Each
has
a
different
52.________(personal)，which
makes
them
lovely
and
unique.
Walking
dogs
and
petting
cats
may
not
seem
like
a

deal，but
they
are
worth
my
efforts.They

One
possible
version：
Dear
WWF，
There
are
wetlands
in
my
hometown.
And
every
spring,
many
birds
come
to
live
here,
including
several
rare
and
endangered
ones.
With
various
birds
everywhere,
my
hometown
looks
very
beautiful.
However,
the
birds
are
being
badly
affected
by
our
human
activities.
The
harm
to
the
birds
is
various.
Eggs
are
often
picked
up.
Worse
still,
people
even
catch
or
hunt
birds
for
meat.
In
addition,
the
size
of
the
wetlands
is
becoming
smaller
and
smaller
due
to
farming.
What's
more,
pollution
from
chemical
factories
is
also
a
big
problem.
Fewer
birds
arrive
here
each
year.
I
strongly
suggest
taking
action
to
save
the
birds.
A
wetland
reserve
should
be
set
up
to
make
sure
no
one
shall
harm
the
birds.
We
human
beings
should
live
with
birds
peacefully
and
happily.
Yours，
Li
Hua
