21．（6分）In the winters of 2012 and 2013, National Geographic grantee (被批准人) Anders Angerbjorn and his Ph. D．student, Rasmus Erlandsson, studied an extremely threatened species, the Scandinavian arctic fox. The current population numbers are fewer than 150 individuals in mainland Europe so many of the young foxes are having difficulty finding a non-related partner. Other threats to the species include competition from the red fox for the rare small rodents (啮齿目动物) they both depend upon for food. Angerbjorn and Erlandsson monitored the arctic fox population in Vasterbotten and Norrbotten, Sweden, to identify the best areas for further conservation actions. This included tagging (贴标签于) the baby foxes, which proved to be a challenge.
“When catching arctic foxes it is easy to believe that the smaller ones are the easiest to handle. In some aspects it is true. Their teeth are smaller and the jaws less powerful. However, just as human children have a hard time keeping still, the really small cubs (幼兽) do too.”
“We handle the foxes in a bag while tagging, and the trick is to keep the animal still between your legs while kneeling. And here comes the tricky part. How do you keep a small, wild fox still? You cannot apply too much force. You really do not want to hurt it. Just as with small children the best tool is patience, but at the same time you want the handling to be as short as possible.”
“One particular cub had a technique I had never experienced before as it continuously tried to turn onto its back, for no obvious reason. I had to reach the ears, so I quickly turned the cub upright. The cub stayed still for a few seconds, and then began to roll onto its back again. The same thing happened over and over again! Finally, I got the tags in place, and after making measurements and taking some samples, I finally let it go.”
1、According to the text, the red fox ________.
A．looks like the arctic fox B．is an endangered species
C．needs more conservation actions D．competes with the arctic fox for food
2、What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A．Providing food for the arctic fox.
B．Checking the number of the arctic fox.
C．Building conservation areas for the arctic fox.
D．Helping the arctic fox find a non-related partner.
3、Human children are mentioned in Paragraph 2 to explain that ________.
A．kids love the arctic fox B．baby foxes can be dangerous
C．it is difficult to tag baby foxes D．the smaller foxes are easier to handle
4、To tag small cubs, Angerbjorn and Erlandsson had to be ________.
A．brave B．patient C．creative D．strong
22．（8分）Mark Rothko, one of the greatest painters of the twentieth century, was born in Daugavpils, Latvia in 1903. His father immigrated to the United States, fearing that his son would be drafted (招募) into the Czarist army. Mark stayed in Russia with his mother and elder sister; they joined the family later, arriving in the winter of 1913, after a 12-day voyage.
Mark moved to New Y ork in the autumn of 1923 and found employment in the garment trade and took up residence on the Upper West Side. It was while he was visiting someone at the Art Students League that he saw students sketching a nude model. According to him, this was the start of his life as an artist. He was twenty years old and had taken some art lessons at school, so his initial experience was far from an immediate calling.
In 1936, Mark Rothko began writing a book, which he never completed about the similarities in the children’s art and the work of modern painters. The work of modernists, which was influenced by primitive (原始的) art, according to him, could be compared to that of children in that “Child art transforms itself into primitivism (原始主义), which is only the child producing a mimicry (模仿) of himself.” However, in this same work, he said that “The fact that one usually begins with drawing is already academic. We start with the colors.”
It was not long before his multiform developed into the style he is remembered for; in 1949 Rothko exhibited these new works at the Betty Parsons Gallery. For critic Harold Rosenberg, the paintings were a revelation. After painting his first multiform, Rothko withdrew himself to his home in East Hampton on Long Island. The discovery of his definitive form came at a period of great grief; his mother Kate died in October 1948 and it was at some point during that winter that Rothko chanced upon the striking symmetrical (对称的) rectangular blocks of two to three opposing or contrasting, yet
complementary colors (对称). As part of this new uniformity of artistic vision, his paintings and drawings no longer had individual titles: from this point on they were simply untitled, numbered or dated. However, to assist in distinguishing one work from another, dealers would sometimes add the primary colors to the name.
1、Mark Ro thko’s family have experienced all of the following except. A．a separation from his father B．the call up of the army
C．a temporary stay in Russia D．a 12-day voyage to the United States 2、What made Mark Rothko want to be an artist?
A．His move to the Upper West Side.
B．His visit to the Art Students League.
C．His sight of the students’ drawing.
D．His lessons took in art school.
3、Mark Rothko thought modern art share some similarities with child art
because .
A．they are both considered childish and academic
B．they are both ways of expressing primitivism
C．they are both a copy of the painters themselves
D．they ate both striking blocks and colors
4、Which of the following statements is true about Mark Rothko’s style?
A．It was inspired by Rosenberg.
B．It resulted from moving to Long Island.
C．It resulted from his grief.
D．It evolved (develop gradually) in 1948.

24．（8分）At the age of 14, James Harrison had a major chest operation and he required 13 units (3.4 gallons) of blood afterwards. The blood donations saved his life, and he decided that once he turned 18, he would begin donating blood as regularly as he could.
More than 60 years and almost 1,200 donations later, Harrison, whose blood contains an antibody (抗体) that has saved the lives of 2.4 million babies from miscarriages (流产), retired as a blood donor on May 11. Harrison’s blood is valuable because he naturally produces Rh-negative blood, which contains Rh-positive antibodies. His blood has been used to create anti-D in Australia since 1967.
“Every bottle of Anti-D ever made in Australia has James in it,” Robyn Barlow, the Rh program director told the Sydney Morning Herald. “It’s an amazing thing. He has
saved millions of babies. I cry just thinking about it.” Since then, Harrison has donated between 500 and 800 milliliters of blood almost every week. He’s made 1,162 donations from his right arm and 10 from his left.
“I’d keep going if they let me,” Harrison told the Herald. His doctors said it was time to stop the donations —and they certainly don’t take them lightly. They had already extended the age limit for blood donations for him, and they’re cutting him off now to protect his health. He made his final donation surrounded by some of the mothers and babies who his blood helped save.
Harrison’s retirement is a blow to the Rh treatment program in Australia. Only 160 donors support the program, and finding new donors has proven to be difficult. But Harrison’s retirement from giving blood doesn’t mean he’s completely out of the game. Scientists are collecting and cataloging his DNA to create a library of antibodies and white blood cells that could be the future of the anti-D program in Australia.
1、What do we know about James Harrison?
A．He saved 2.4 million poor people.
B．He is to retire as a blood donor.
C．He is a very grateful blood donor.
D．He donates blood nearly every day.
2、What is the author’s purpose of writing Paragraph 4?
A．To state Harrison’s decision to continue donating blood.
B．To describe how Harrison’s donations come to an end.
C．To introduce some babies saved by Harrison’s blood.
D．To praise Harrison for his cooperation with the doctors.
3、What can we infer from the passage about Harrison?
A．After his retirement, the Rh program will fail.
B．New donors are easy to find in a short time.
C．He continues to contribute to the Rh program.
D．His DNA is kept in a library for future study.
4、Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．A Unique Man with a Rare Blood Type
B．The Blood Saving Millions of Babies
C．A Special Blood Type Donor to Retire
D．The Man with the Golden Arm
25．（10分）One day the employees of a large company in St Louis, Missouri returned from their lunch break and were greeted with a sign on the front door.

29、Dear Sir,
I am Li Hua, a middle school student in Shantou. I’m writing to apply for the position of the tour guide for Shantou One-day Trip.
I long to be a guide for the reason that it helps a lot to enrich my life experience. What’s more, it does good to my oral English since with the rapid development of tourism, more and more foreigners visit Shantou. And I am fully convinced that I’m qualified for the post. First of all , I have no difficulty communicating with
English-speaking people fluently and effectively. Additionally, it is for16 years that I have been living here so that I am familiar with many places of interest in Shantou,
which is my super advantage to introduce more than books to foreigners. Last but not least, I am a person of responsibility and enthusiasm.
I am sure I can perform my job excellently. I would be grateful if you could consider my application and offer me the opportunity to serve your company as a part-time worker.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua。
