三、阅读理解
18. 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

These days, there are very few wild animals left in the UK. The wolves have gone. The bears have been hunted to extinction. Fortunately, there are a few badgers（獾）--- Oh, well, actually, not for long as the British government has just decided to kill them too ! But why?
Badgers are fascinating creatures. The black and white mammals live underground in “ setts ”, which they dig out of the earth. They are extremely brave, fighting off larger animals such as bears and
wolves. The problem is that some badgers carry “ Bovine Tuberculosis ” ( BTB ), an infectious
disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium Bovis ( M. Bovis ) which can cause TB in some other animals, including cattle.
For farmers, this is a serious issue. In 1998 in the UK, almost 6,000 cows were killed to control the disease. And in 2010, more than 30,000 animals were destroyed. It’s expensive too. Bovine TB costs the UK about ￡100 million per year. And some believe that the disease could end up costing the economy ￡9 billion over the next 40 years if nothing is done about it.
Experts say that badgers are responsible for about 50% of the infected cattle. So, after much debate, the government has agreed to a badger cull（杀戮）. This will mean about 30,000 of the innocent creatures will be wiped out to fight the disease. Environment Secretary Caroline Spelman admitted that there was “ great strength of feeling ” about it, but said, “ I believe this is the right way forward. ”
Of course, many are against the measure, including conservationists and animal rights activists. They claim that killing the badgers in controlled zones wouldn’t work because badgers from neighboring areas would simply move into the empty setts and become infected too. Furthermore, they believe that the way cattle are raised intensively, and transported around to lots of different farms during their lives is probably the biggest cause of the spread of the disease.
Most ordinary people are against the measure too. A survey suggests about two-thirds are against killing the badgers, with majorities against killing them regardless of age, region and gender. One of the alternatives to the cull involves using vaccine(疫苗) on badgers. However, this costs an average of ￡2,250 per year per square kilometer. Trapping and shooting badgers costs ￡2,500 per year, but shooting free-running badgers only costs about ￡200 per year ( per square kilometer ). ks5u
So, with tha t in mind, it’s easy to see how the government arrived at their decision. Money talks!
45. Why does the government want to kill the badgers ?
A. Because there is no other choice to cut the spread of the disease.
B. Because badgers carry TB, a disease which can infect other animals.
C. Because they almost wiped out an entire population of cattle.
D. Because it might be an effective way to fight TB at the least expense. 46. Which of the following statements is TRUE ?
A. Some people object to culling because it costs much more to trap and shoot badgers.
B. In the following four decades, ￡9 billion will be spent on TB.
C. Based on the survey, people of different age groups, regions and both genders are against killing the badgers.
D. Caroline Spelman thought bad gers should be culled despite people’s strong reaction.
47. Who is strongly for the killing the badgers according the passage?
A. The government
B. Most ordinary people
C. Conservationists
D. Animal rights activists
48. What is the author’s attitude toward government’s decision?
A. Supportive
B. Critical
C. Objective
D. Unconcerned
49. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. the Control of TB
B. the Voice of the Badgers
C. Badger Danger
D. the Threat of the Badgers

DCABC
19. “To be or not to be”．Outside the Bible, these six words are the most famous in all the literature of the world．They were spoken by Hamlet when he was thinking aloud, and they are the most famous words in Shakespeare because Hamlet was speaking not only for himself but for every thinking man and woman．To be or not to be----to live or not to live, to live richly and abundantly and eagerly, or to live dully and meanly and scarcely．A philosopher once wanted to know whether he was alive or not, which is a good question for everyone to put to himself occasionally．He answered it by saying, “I think, therefore I am．”
But the best definition of existence I ever saw was one written by another philosopher who said, “To be is to be in relations．” If this is true, then the more relations a living thing has, the more it is alive．To live abundantly means simply to increase the range and intensity （强度）of our relations．Unfortunately, we are so constituted that we get to love our routine．But other than our regular occupation, how much are we alive? If you are interested only in your regular
occupation, you are alive only to that extent．So far as other things are concerned----poetry and prose, music, pictures, sports unselfish friendships, politics, international affairs----you are dead．On the contrary, it is true that every time you acquire a new interest----even more, a new accomplishment----you increase your power of life．No one who is deeply interested in different kinds of subjects can remain unhappy．The real pessimist is the person who has lost interest．Bacon said that a man dies as often as he loses a friend．But we gain new life by contacts with new friends, and new ideas and thoughts, too．Where your thoughts are, there will be your life also．If your thoughts are limited only to your business, only to your physical welfare, only to your narrow circle of the town in which you live, then you live in a narrow restricted life．But if you are interested in the characters of a good novel, then you are living with those highly interested people; if you listen intently to fine music, you are always away from immediate surroundings and living in a world of passion and imagination．
To be or not to be ---- to live intensely and richly, or merely to exist, that depends on ourselves．Let us widen and intensify our relations．While we live, let us live．
13．What does the author mainly want to do by this passage?
A．Argue against an idea．B．Put forward an idea．
C．Introduce some famous sayings．D．Explain some famous sayings．14．What does the underlined word “pessimist” most probably mean?
A．Somebody who always expects the worst to happen．
B．Somebody who is always interested in making new friends．
C．Somebody who always lives in a world of passion and imagination．
D．Somebody who likes to live a rich and abundant life．
15．Which of the following behaviors is most probably NOT encouraged by the author?
A．Thinking more than your own business．
B．Caring only about your physical welfare．
C．Reading good novels．
D．Listening to fine music．
