Before that，this kind of birds was known only to fly a few hundred miles from where they live，staying away for just a few days at a time．They usually fly over the sea．The Scientists feel it strange that Lydia made such a long，nonstop Journey and flew overland．So the above facts raise some serious questions about efforts to stop the
decline（减少）of the birds．The number of the birds，has fallen by l0 percent over the past 20years．
Besides，the scientists are surprised that she was away from her baby for such a long time．They wonder why she needed to go that far．Maybe it shows that fish resources （资源）around Christmas Island are not large enough now．That might explain the slow decline of the bird﹣﹣sea pollution is serious．

In the evening，we stopped at a restaurant for dinner．I noticed that Mr．Singh didn't touch the beef and Mr．White seemed not to like chickens'claws．During the meal，Wang Lin said sorry to Mr．Singh and cntinued to explain that we didn't know it was a taboo in India to shake one's left hand．Mr．Singh explained that since oxen are sacred（神圣的）in India，people don't eat beef there．Mr．White joined in and said that it was not usual in the states for people to eat chickens'claws．He went on to say that Americans don't usually get into each other's personal space．Marriage，job and age are their taboos．Isn't it a good lesson to remember？

参考答案与试题解析
一、单项选择．（共20分，每小题1分）
1．（1分）﹣Excuse me，Bob．What's this in English？﹣It's __________ eraser．（）
A．a B．an C．the D．/
【解答】答案B 根据It's __________ eraser可知，eraser是可数名词，所以这里是指一块橡皮，表泛指，eraser的首字母的发音是元音，故用不定冠词an，故选B．
2．（1分）I told her _____ in PE lesson．（）
A．how to do B．what to do C．which to do D．where to do
【解答】答案：B；该题中，引导词在句中做told的宾语，所以用引导词what，所以选what to do，且带入句中意思为在体育课上告诉她做什么，句意通顺，故选B．
3．（1分）﹣﹣﹣His father has never been to Beijing，___？
﹣﹣﹣____，but he's going there next Sunday．（）
A．has he，No B．has he，Yes
C．isn't he，No D．hasn't he，Yes
【解答】答案：A．
根据His father has never been to Beijing，___？可知本题考查反意疑问句．在反意疑问句中，前肯定，后否定；前否定，后肯定．由于前半句中是否定词never，故后面的附加问句部分为肯定形式，前面的句子中出现了has，所以后面的反义疑问句还应该用has，人称是His father，这里相应的用he，所以应该是has he；再根据but he's going there next Sunday，可知这里表示的是下个星期天他将去，言外之意他没去过，即句子所叙述的事实是否定的，用No来回答．前后形式要
保持一致，但翻译为汉语时no要翻译为"是的"．故选A．
4．（1分）﹣﹣Remember ____ rubbish while climbing the mountain．It's bad for the environment．
﹣﹣I will keep that in mind．（）
A．not drop B．not dropping C．not to drop D．to not drop
【解答】答案：C．
根据Remember ____ rubbish while climbing the mountain．当爬山时记住不要扔垃圾It's bad for the environment对环境是有害的．remember to do sth．是记住去做一件事情；其否定形式是：remember not to do sth．"记住不要去做某事"；"扔垃圾"是drop rubbish；结合语境，故选C．
5．（1分）Tom didn't get ready for his speech，so he was very ______ when he stood in front of class．（）
A．short B．sick C．nervous D．sad
【解答】答案：C；short短的；sick恶心的；nervous紧张的；sad伤心的；根据前一句Tom didn't get ready for his speech，可知Tom没准备好，因此很紧张，故选C．
6．（1分）It is a nice digital camera，________ a little expensive．（）
A．as B．since C．though D．unless
【解答】答案：C；as作为，以…的身份；since自从；though虽然；unless除非；根据句意，"It is a nice digital camera是个好数码相机"和"a little expensive有点儿贵"，可知上下句之间是转折关系；though后引导让步状语从句，意为尽管有点贵，但是一个好相机．故选C．
7．（1分）﹣﹣﹣Linda，please _________ how to get there and the cost of the trip．﹣﹣﹣All right．I'll make it at once．（）
A．work out B．find out C．give out D．put out

8．（1分）Would you please tell me____________？Sure，no problem．（）A．when did the earthquake hit Japan
B．why should we study foreign languages
C．how long will you stay in America
D．what this big animal is called in English
【解答】答案：D．
根据Would you please tell me可知，本题考查宾语从句，宾语从句中一般为陈述语序，选项ABC是疑问语序，所以排除掉；选项D用的是陈述句语序，符合宾语从句的语序要求．故选D．
9．（1分）﹣﹣﹣Is everything ______ we need to do _______？﹣﹣﹣Yes．You needn't worry about it．（）
A．which；has done B．which；doing
C．that；has done D．that；done
【解答】答案：D．
第一个设空处，分析句子结构，句中的"______ we need to do"在复合句中作定语从句，由于定语从句中先行词everything为不定代词，在定语从句中作宾语，所以关系代词只能用that不能用which；第二个设空处，由于主语everything是动词do的承受者，所以用被动语态，一般现在时被动语态的构成是：am/is/are+动词的过去分词，设空处用do的过去分词done，故选D．
10．（1分）﹣My friend has achieved his goal after years of hard work．
﹣Great!________．（）
A．One tree can't make a forest
B．Where there is a will，there is a way
