When the explorers first set foot upon the continent of North America, the skies and lands were alive with an astonishing variety of wildlife. Native Americans had taken care of these precious natural resources wisely. Unfortunately, it took the explorers and the settlers who followed only a few decades to decimate a large part of these resources. Millions of waterfowl (水禽) were killed at the hands of market hunters and a handful of overly ambitious sportsmen. Millions of acres of wetlands were dried to feed and house the ever-increasing populations, greatly reducing waterfowl habitat.
29. What does the underlined word “decimate” mean in the first paragraph?
A. Acquire.
B. Export.
C. Destroy.
D. Distribute.
【分析】根据文章第一段第一、二句When the explorers first set foot upon the continent of North America, the skies and lands were alive with an astonishing variety of wildlife.

C
项意为“摧毁”，符合题意。

Still, 55 percent of Australians have a landline phone at home and only just over a quarter（29%）rely only on their smartphones according to a survey（调查）. Of those Australians who still have a landline, a third concede that it’s not really necessary and they’re keeping it as a security blanket — 19 percent say they never use it while a further 13 percent keep it in case of emergencies. I think my home falls into that category.
25. What does the underlined word “concede” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Admit.
B. Argue.
C. Remember.
D. Remark.
【分析】词句猜测题。

根据划线单词的上文“Of those Australians who still have a landline (在那些仍然有固定电话的澳大利亚人中)”可知，这个调查的目标人群是仍然有固定电话的澳大利亚人；根据下文“it's not really necessary and they're keeping it as a security blanket — 19 percent say they never use it while a further 13 percent keep it in case of emergencies (固定电话并不是必须的，他们将其作为一种安全保障——19%的人表示他们从未使用过固定电话，另有13%的人保留固定电话以防紧急情况)”可知，很多人认为固定电话并不是必须拥有的，有些人保留固定电话只是为了防止紧急情况。

从而推知，在调查中，他们应该是承认了固定电话的非必要性。

由此推知，划线单词“concede”意为“承认”。

故选A项。

While I tend to buy a lot of books, these three were given to me as gifs, which might add to the meaning I attach to them. But I imagine that, while money is indeed wonderful and necessary, rereading an author’s work is the highest currency a reader can pay them. The best books are the ones that open further as time passes. But remember, it’s you that has to grow and read and reread in order to better understand your friends.
26. What does the underlined word “currency” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Debt
B. Reward.
C. Allowance.
D. Face value.
【分析】根据该段中的“while money is indeed wonderful and necessary( 虽然金钱确实是美妙且必要)”可知，前后分句之间为转折关系，根据上下文的语境可推知，“rereading an author’s work is the highest currency a reader can pay them”意为“重新阅读作者的作品是读者能支付给作者的最高回报”，由此判断出画线词的意思是“回报”。

故选B项。

The fur trade kept nutria check for decades, but when the market for nutria collapsed in the late 1980s, the cat-sized animals multiplied like crazy.
30. What does the underlined word “collapsed” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Boomed.
B. Became mature.
C. Remained stable.
D. Crashed.
【分析】根据画线词前的The fur trade kept nutria in check for decades.可知，几十年来海狸鼠的数量都因毛皮交易而得到良好控制;再结合画线词后的multiplied like crazy可知，后来海狸鼠又泛滥成灾，并可推断出造成这一现象的原因是毛皮交易市场生意惨淡，人们对海狸鼠毛皮的需求下降。

由此可猜测，collapse的意思是“垮掉”，与crash意义相近。

故选D。

Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinker toys in his free time. His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home.

Zip was stopped during the war and only after the war did it become popular. What a difference it has made to our lives! It keeps people at home much more. It has made the remote parts of the world more real to us. Photographs show a country, but only zip makes feel that a foreign country is real. Also we can see scenes in the street. Big occasions are zipped, such as the coronation（加冕典礼）in 1953 and the opening of Parliament. Perhaps the sufferers from zip are the notable people, who, as they step out of an airplane, have to face the battery of zip cameras and know that every movement, every gesture will be seen by a “zip personality”. Perhaps we can sympathize when Members of Parliament say that they do not want debates to be zipped
Q: Zip means .
A. cinema.
B. photography.
C. television.
D. telephone.
