Unit 4 Wildlife protection【导语】专家指出：地球上的动植物物种正以前所未有的速度消失，而无论是它们栖息地的丧失、污染，还是全球变暖带来的间接影响，祸根都源于人类。

北部白犀牛小嘴狐猴Extinction is for ever!As almost everyone knows，to become extinct is to be gone for ever.Even before man's arrival on Earth，species became extinct quite naturally.Natural extinction happens when a species decreases in numbers gradually but steadily at the end of its evolutionary period on Earth.The length of this period depends on how well a species can get used to changes around it.This process of extinction can take a very long time—sometimes several million years—and the extinction of one species is immediately followed by the appearance of anotherin a continuous cycle. The case of the dinosaurs is the most well－known example of natural extinction.They appeared on Earth about 200 million years ago and dominated both land and sea for almost 100 million years.It is not certain why the dinosaurs became extinct，but their disappearance was a natural one and newspecies of animals evolved to replace them. The rate of extinction has speeded up unnaturally over the last 400 years，rising sharply since 1990.This increase in the rate of extinction is directly related to the increase in the human population over the same period of time.The great number of humans has caused great damage to the planet，as wild habitats have been taken over，forcing animals and plants into smaller and smaller areas，until some of them have become extinct.We have also pollutedsome habitats with chemicals and waste，making them unfit for wildlife.These causes ofextinction are known as indirect destruction. Animals may also become extinct through direct destruction.This includesthe hunting and catching of animals.Man has always hunted and killed wildlifebut when early humans lived more in harmony with nature，they killed animals for essential food and clothing.When firearms were invented，great destruction of species was possible.Animals have been，and still are，killed for meat，clothing，medicines，feathers，eggs—and sometimes just for amusement.Some species are still caught in the wild for the live pet trade，even though theirnumbers are decreasing. The extinction of at least 500 species of animals has been caused by man.Today there are about 5，000 endangered animals and at least one species dies out every year.There are probably many more which become extinct withoutanyone knowing.【词海拾贝】1．extinction n．灭绝；绝种2．steadily adv.平稳地3．continuous adj.连续不停的；不间断的4．dominate v．支配；统治5．habitat v．栖息地6．destruction n．破坏【问题思考】阅读短文，判断正(T)误(F)。

Unit 4 Wildlife protection阅读理解A typical lion tamer(驯兽师) in people's mind is an entertainer holding a whip(鞭) and a chair. The whip gets all of the attention, but it's mostly for show. In reality, it's the chair that does the important work. When a lion tamer holds a chair in front of the lion's face, the lion tries to focus on all four legs of the chair at the same time. With its focus divided, the lion becomes confused and is unsure about what to do next. When faced with so many options, the lion chooses to freeze and wait instead of attacking the man holding the chair.How often do you find yourself in the same position as the lion? How often do you have something you want to achieve(e.g. lose weight, start a business, travel more)-only to end up confused by all of the options in front of you and never make progress?This upsets me to no end because while all the experts are busy debating about which option is best, the people who want to improve their lives are left confused by all of the conflicting information. The end result is that we feel like we can't focus or that we're focused on the wrong things, and so we take less action, make less progress, and stay the same when we could be improving.It doesn't have to be that way. Anytime you find the world waving a chair in your face, remember this: All you need to do is focus on one thing. You just need to get started. Starting before you feel ready is one of the habits of successful people. If you have somewhere you want to go, something you want to accomplish, someone you want to become...take immediate action. If you're clear about where you want to go, the rest of the world will either help you get there or get out of the way.1. Why does the lion tamer use a chair?A. To trick the lion.B. To show off his skills.C. To get ready for a fight.D. To entertain the audience.2. In what sense are people similar to a lion facing a chair?A. They feel puzzled over choices.B. They hold on to the wrong things.C. They find it hard to make changes.D. They have to do something for show.3. What is the author's attitude towards the experts mentioned in Paragraph 3?A. Tolerant.B. Doubtful.C. Respectful.D. Supportive.4. When the world is "waving a chair in your face", you're advised to ________.A. wait for a better chanceB. break your old habitsC. make a quick decisionD. ask for clear guidance正确答案：A A B C精美句子1、善思则能“从无字句处读书”。

AFour Wild Animal Species Were EndangeredMaybe you can still see them at the zoo. But that doesn’t mean they’re doing alright in the wild. TigersAll six tiger species are endangered, with Sumatran tigers and South Chin tigers at a seriously endangered status. The main reasons for their population decline are illegal hunting and destroyed habitats(栖息地), as humans clear forests to gather timber （木材）and build roadways. Only about 3890 tigers presently live in the wild.Ground squirrelsThat’s right, even squirrels are endangered, specifically the San Joaquin ground squirrel. Native to California, USA, these guys have been disappearing since 1979 on account of the construction and human development going through their habitat. Their total population is unknown, but it could be anywhere between 124000 and 413000.GiraffesThe International Union for the Conservation of Nature recently put giraffes at a vulnerable(脆弱的) status, the level just before endangered. The giraffe population has declined 40 percent in the last 30 years, primarily due to loss of habitat and illegal hunting. Some giraffes are killed just for their tails, which are considered status symbols in Africa.Asian elephantsThe main threat to Asian elephants, one of the most intelligent animals, is their shrinking habitat. As the human population grows, people invade their land to build roads and railway tracks. Elephants in Myanmar are at an especially high risk for being captured and traded or used illegally in the tourist industry. Fewer than 50000 are left on the entire continent. 21. What is the total population of tigers living in the wild? A. Around 3890. B. 50000. C. 124000. D. 413000.22．Which of the following is considered one of the most intelligent animals? A. Tigers. B. Giraffes.C. Ground squirrels.D. Asian elephants.23．What is the common threat to the four wild animals? A. Illegal hunting. B. Disturbed habitat. C. Developing tourism. D. Unnecessary construction.BDay in and day out. Rose, a neat, well-dressed, dark-haired young woman carries out her work at an office in a business park near Cambridge and spends hours studying pictures of children being abused. She watches the images again and again, looking for the tiniest details that might deliver a young victim from hell. They might be as small as the titles of books on a table, the action of making the bed or the images on the posters on the wall —anything that might provide a clue to the place where the child is suffering, and might finally lead the police to the abuser.How can Rose decide to do such work? And all that for a salary of less than $23,000 a year? She said her motivation in joining the work was to protect the public." When I first started this job, there was anger at the beginning. But when you see what the children have to endure, you know someone has to be there to protect them. If I can play a small part, I will help make a difference."The 33-year-old woman is enthusiastic about her job. Rose and her team have done what they could to put the children's life back together. They are very proud of what they have done.The nature of her work has changed her for the better. "I'm a lot more focused on the positive, much more relaxed about the world. I enjoy the good people around me," she says. Rose thinks that her job is a bit like giving blood. Maybe you don't like doing it, but someone has to. She regards it as her duty to help abused children. 24. What is Rose's job?A. Managing a big business park.B. Finding clues that help save abused children.C. Teaching and looking after abused children.D. Studying images on the posters on the walls.25. Which of the following can replace the underlined word "endure" in Paragraph 2? A. Suffer. B. Change. C. Enjoy. D. Expect. 26. Rose and her team are satisfied with their job, because _________________. A. nobody in her country dare to abuse children B. children will live a happier life than ever beforeC. the number of children who are abused will be reducedD. parents in her country will know how to protect their children 27. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Rose’s lif e makes her popular. B. Rose often donates blood to others. C. Rose makes a difference to the world... ..... ....................................................................................................................................................................................2 / 7s .. t .........................................................................................................................................................................................D. Rose’s life has been positively affected by her job.CThe world’s first “Sky Pool” has been uncoated, and it’ll give anyone a touch of dizzin ess, unless he or she is not bothered by heights.Situated in the capital’s new riverside district beside Battersea Power Station, the glass pool, hanging 10 storeys, or 110 feet up as a bridge between two apartment buildings, is 25m long, 5m wide and 3m deep with a water depth of 1. 2m. Swimmers will be able to look down 35 metres to the street below as they take a dip, with only 20cm of glass between them and the outside world. It’s even got a bar, folding chairs and an orange garden.The pool will be part of Embassy Gardens at Nine Elms, a huge billion building project beside the new American Embassy in south-west London. The project is creating thousands of apartments, the smallest of which are expected to cost nearly $ 1 million, and the pool will only be open to the apartments’ owners.Embassy Gardens takes design inspiration from the Meatpacking District of New York with floor to ceiling windows and brick frontages. The designer, Sean Mulryan, desired to push the boundaries in the capability of construction and engineering and do something that had never been done before. The Sky Pool’s transparent structure is the result of significant advancements in technologies over the last decade.The experience of the pool will be truly unique and it will feel like floating through the air in Central London.Those people lucky enough to swim there will have a faultless view of the Palace of Westminster and the London Eye. It will be a selling point for developers when the second stage of the development is released to market. 28. Who can swim in the Sky Pool? A. Anyone at Nine Elms. B. Visitors to London. C. People living in Embassy Gardens. D. Those who are not terrified of heights. 29. What can the swimmers enjoy according to the paragraph 2? A. Having fun surfing online. B. Drinking orange juice for free. C. Appreciating the views below. D. Experiencing diving and surfing. 30. What do we know about the pool from the text?A. It lies in the centre of London.B. It is 25 metres above the ground.C. It was similar to New York’s modern constructions.D. It is helpful for selling apartments in Embassy Gardens. 31．We can infer from the text that .A. the apartments of Embassy Garden are fairly expensiveB. the new American Embassy has been moved awayC. Nine Elms is a street in Embassy GardensD. building the pool is not a complex jobDAs free as they make us, mobile phones still need to stay close to a power source. Soon that may change with "green" power.Three Chilean students got the idea for a plant-powered device(装置) to charge their cellphones, while sitting in their school's outdoor courtyard during a break from exams, with dead mobile phones. Then, one of them had an "aha" moment.“It occurred to Camila to say about plants, "said inventor Evelyn Aravena. “‘Why don't you have a socket, if there are so many plants? ’After that, we thought, ‘why don't they have a charging outlet? Because there are so many plants and living things that have the potential to produce energy, why not?’”Their invention —a small biological circuit called E-Kaia —uses the energy plants to produce during photosynthesis(光合作用). A plant uses only a small part of that energy and the rest goes into the soil, and that's where the E-Kaia collects it. The device plugs into the ground and then into your phone."It's the most amazing project I've ever seen in my life, plain and simple. They brought this original model, and it worked — and that's when it all changed, at least from my personal point of view and I began to support them." said Mauricio Cifuentes.The device solved two problems for the engineering students — they needed an idea for a class project, and an outlet to plug in their phones."Looking for a place to charge the notebook, which had no power, and the mobile phones, we weren't able to find anything because all the other students were in the same state of madness trying to find a place to charge their devices," said Aravena.But plants are everywhere, and the bio －circuit makes the best of their excess(过多的) power. The E-Kaia doesn't carry much charge but it's powerful enough to completely recharge a mobile phone in less than two hours.The student inventors have applied for patents on their technology, and expect the E-Kaia to go on sale in December 2016.32. How could the students get the "green" power idea?A. By carrying out an experiment.B. Just from an occasional thought.C. With the support of their professors.D. Inspired by the information in a science book. 33. The device collects power by using _____________. A. photosynthesis B. a small biological circuit C. energy plants D. the electricity stored in the device 34. What can we learn from what Mauricio Cifuentes said? A. He intended to buy the patent. B. He invented the original device. C. He showed great interest in the device... ..... ....................................................................................................................................................................................3 / 7s .. t .........................................................................................................................................................................................D. He attempted to produce the device in large numbers. 35．What might be the best title for the passage? A. A New Device to Change the WorldB. Green Power - A New and Potential SourceC. Chilean Students Find A Green Way to Charge PhonesD. A New Device Invented by Chilean Students Will Be on Sale第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Unit4 Wildlife protection高考试题一（2017年高考新课标I卷阅读理解，B）I work with Volunteers for Wildlife, a rescue and education organization at Bailey Arboretum in Locust Valley. Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl(猫头鹰) on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl. It had already been placed in a carrier for safety.I examined the chick(雏鸟) and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree.The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down.Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.A nervous night to be sure, but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings. I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all — LUNCH! The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.24. What is unavoidable in the author’s rescue work according to paragraph 1?A. Efforts made in vain.B. Getting injured in his work.C. Feeling uncertain about his future.D. Creatures forced out of their homes.25. Why was the author called to Muttontown?A. To rescue a woman.B. To take care of a woman.C. To look at a baby owl.D. To cure a young owl.26.What made the chick calm down?A. A new nest.B. Some food.C. A recording.D. Its parents.27.How would the author feel about the outcome of the event?A. It’s unexpected.B. It’s beautiful.C. It’s humorous.D. It’s discouraging.【文章大意】救助小动物并没有那么简单，因为你所做的救助行为到最后可能都成了无用功。

When a dog has been properly trained, he will always lead his blind master in the right direction and keep him out of danger. For example, seeing-eye dogs learn never to cross a busy road when cars are coming, even if their master ordered them to do so.Horses are also able to learn many things. Horses that are used for guard or police duty must learn never to be frightened of noises, traffic, and other disturbances. Racing horses are able to run much faster than other horses, but they are also quite high strung（易紧张）. Therefore, it is necessary for those people who train them to be very patient(耐心) and understanding.The moving pictures and television can use trained animals too. Some animals, such as monkeys and foxes, are easy to film. All you have to do is make a trail in front of the camera by dragging something that smells good to the animals over the ground. Big animals, such as lions and tigers, can be photographed as they bound happily back to their families and dinner. If a movie actor is nearby, the well-trained animal will pay no attention to him. However, the audience may imagine that the actor escaped a terrible death by the skin of his teeth.1. Dogs who help blind people must learn .A. to obey all ordersB. to obey only safe ordersC. never to cross roadsD. to cross road when ordered to do so2. Race horses are hard to train because they are .A. faster than other horsesB. smaller than other horsesC. clever than other horseD. more nervous than other horses3. What does “make a trail” mean here in the last paragraph?A. place something to attract the animalB. give the animal a certain taskC. order the animal to do thingsD. follow the animal to hunt4. Lions can be photographed easily when .A. they are following a trial of something that smells good to themB. they are returning to their familiesC. they have been trained to work with other animalsD. they do not know a movie-actor is nearby六．用所给词的正确形式填空1.The plane crashed and _______________(burst) into flames.2.The enemy killed the villages _______________(mercy).3.A new law has been made ______________(protect) the animal from _______________(harm).4.He was deeply _______________(affect ) by my words.5.You can’t _______________(full) appreciate foreign literature in translation.6.I tried to discuss it with her but only succeed ______________(介词）making her angry.7.Our company ___________________(employ) about one hundred people last year.8.The flood did a lot of _______________(harm) to the crops.9.The shelter gave her _______________(protect) from wind and rain.10.Winter is the best time for _______________(hunt) in the mountain areas.11.The dentist _______________(inspect) the children’s teeth twice a year.12.He could remember every small incident _______________(clear).13.After _______________ (wash) her hands, the girl went on to rub them dry.14.This book is about how these basic beliefs and values _______________(affect) our daily life.15.His __________ (raise) his arm gave her __________(protect) from the heavy blow.16.We should pay attention to __________(protect) the environment to offer our children a good livng place.三语法填空:One day, Daisy ________ (dream) a strange dream.

But 21 a few of them are very 22 . English is one of these. Many, many people use it, not only in England and the U.S.A., but in other parts of the world. About 200,000,000 speak it as their own language. It is difficult to say how many people are learning it as a 2 3 language. Many millions are 2 4 to do so. Is it easy or difficult to learn English? Different people may have different 25 . Have you ever 26 ads( 广告) of this kind in the newspapers or magazines? "Learn English in six weeks, or your 27 back..." "Easy and funny! Our records and tapes 28 you master your English in a month. 29 the first day your 30 will be excellent. Just send ... " Of course, it never 31 quite like this.The only language that seems easy to learn is the mother tongue. We should 32 that we all learned our own language well when we were 13 . If we could learn English in the same way, it would not seem so difficult. 34 what a small child does. He listens to what people say. He tries what he hears.

Just imagine how much 36 that gets!So it is 37 to say that learning English is easy, because a good command of English 38 upon a lot of practice. And practice needs great effort and 39 much time.

You can’t be good at your studies orwork well when you are ill.If you have a headache, toothache, backache, earache or bad pain in thestomach, if you complain of a bad cough, if you run a high temperature andhave a bad cold, or if you suffer from high or low blood pressure, I think you should go to the doctor.The doctor will examine your throat, feel your pulse, test your blood pressure, take your temperature, sound yo ur heart and lungs, test your eyes, check your teeth or have your chest X-rayed. After that he will advise some tr eatment, or some medicine. The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice.Speaking about doctor’s advice, I can’t help telling you a funny story.An old gentleman came to see the doctor. The man was very ill. He told the doctor about his weakness, memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs. The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine f or hisdisease. He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a goodrest. He also advised him to eat a lot of meat, drink two glasses of red wineevery day and take long walks. In other words, the doctor advised him tofollow the rule: “Eat at pleasure, drink with measure and enjoy life as it is.” The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again, he shouldn’t smoke more than one cigarette a day.A month later the gentleman came into the doctor’s office. He looked cheerful and happy. He thanked the docto r and said that he had never felt a healthierman.“ But you know, doctor,” he said, “it’s not easy to begin smoking at myage.”41. The writer thinks that_____.A. health is more important than wealthB. work is as important as studiesC. medicine is more important than pleasureD. nothing is more important than money42. The doctor usually tells his patient what to do______.A. without examining the patientB. after he has examined the patientC. if the patient doesn’t take medicineD. unless the patient feels pain43. The underlined part means “”.A. he was feeling better than everB. he wasn’t a healthy manC. he was feeling worse than beforeD. he will be well again44. From the last sentence of the passage, we learn the man_______ before the doctor told him not to smoke mo re than one cigarette a day.A. was a heavy smokerB. didn’t smoke so muchC. didn’t smokeD. began to learn to smoke45. Which of the following is NOT true?A. The doctor usually tests his/her blood pressure when a person is ill.B. The man told the doctor he couldn’t remember things.C. The man thanked the doctor.D. The man didn’t follow the doctor’s advice.BIt doesn’t matter when and how much a person sleeps , but everyone needs some rest to stay alive. That’s what all doctors thought , until they heard about Herpin. Herpin, it was said , never slept. Could this be true? The doctors decided to see this strange man themselves.Herpin was 90 years old when the doctors came to his home in New Jersey. They thought for sure that he got some sleep of some kind. So they stayed with him and watched every movement he made. But they were surprised . Though they watched him hour after hour and day after day, they never saw him sleeping. In fact , he did not even own a bed. He never needed one.The only rest that Herpin sometimes got was sitting in a comfortable chair and reading newspapers. The doctors were puzzled by this strange continuous sleeplessness. They asked him many questions, hoping to find an answer. They found only one answer that might explain his condition. Herpin remembered some talk about his mother having been injured several days before he was born. But that was all. Was this the real reason? No one could be sure. Herpin died at the age of 94.46. The main idea of this passage is that_____rge numbers of people do not need sleepB. a person was found who actually didn’t need any sleepC.everyone needs some sleep to stay aliveD.people can live longer by trying not to sleep47. The doctors came to visit Herpin, expecting_____A.to cure him of his sleeplessnessB.to find that his sleeplessness was not really trueC.to find out why some old people did not need any sleepD.to find a way to free people from the need of sleeping48. After watching him closely, the doctors came to believe that Al herpin_____A.needed some kind of sleepB.was too old to need any sleepC.needed no sleep at allD.often sleep in a chair49. One reason that might explain Herpin’s sleeplessness was _____A.his mother’s injury before he was bornB.that he had gradually got rid of the sleeping habitC.his magnificent physical conditionD.that he hadn’t got a bed50. Al Herpin’s condition could be regarded as ______A.a common oneB.one that could be curedC.very healthyD.a rare oneCAs a teenager in 1972, Bill Gates once said that he would be a millionaire bythe time he was 20. Only 15 years later he was a billionaire. And by 1992, ashead of the Microsoft company, he became the richest man in American with assets (资产) of about US$ 6.3 billion.Gates was born in Seattle, Washington on 28, October 1956. He first started to play with the computer at the ag e of 13 at his school. At that time, computers were very large machines. Operators were required to learn compl ex computer languages before the machines could be used. Even then, a great deal of time and effort was neede d to perform the simplest functions. Before long Gateswas an expert at working the school’s computer. After his graduation fromsecondary school, Gates was accepted by the three top universities in the USA---Princeton. Harvard and Yale. H e chose Harvard and began classes there the next autumn, majoring in maths. But he spent as much time in the c omputer laboratories as he did in the lecture halls.By 1975, Gates and a partner, Paul Allen, had developed a software program called BASIC. This was not the fir st program ever created, but its inventorswere the first to decide that people who wanted to use it should pay for it.BASIC was a success because until it came along there had been no efficient way of getting computers to carry out instructions. Although he had not yetcompleted his degree, Gates left university and went to work full time for the new company he had formed calle d Microsoft.His next project was the software program that made him famous and veryrich. It was called DOS, short for Disk Operating System, and it was boughtby IBM in 1980. Today it is the operating system used in more than 14 million personal computers around the world.As chief executive officer of Microsoft, Gates is known as a bright man. To most people, Gates, in spite of his wealth, is humble and ordinary. He spends his money carefully and often eats in fast-food restaurants.51. When he was a teenager, Bill Gates wanted to be______.A. an engineerB. a scientistC. a businessmanD. a professor52. Bill Gates became a billionaire______.A. at the age of 31B. in 1985C. in the 1970’sD. by 199253. When Gates was in Harvard University, he________.A. became head of Microsoft companyB. spent most of his time in computer laboratoriesC. developed the first computer programD. succeeded in making computers carry out instructions54. Before the invention of BASIC, software programs____.A. were very cheapB. were not considered commercially (商业地)C. were very expensiveD. were complex but dull55. Bill Gates was regarded as______.A. a strong-minded manB. a crazy manC. a man spending freelyD. a common, normal person。

Unit 4 Wildlife protection阅读理解·组块专练——练速度(限时：35分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2016·洛阳高三第一次月考)I find it humorous sometimes that even the most ordinary incidents can have an impact on our awareness.My wife, daughter, and I moved into our home nine years agoand we spent a lot of time and energy in the yard to get it looking like it doestoday. We live on a corner, higher than street level, and theentire side of the yard is surrounded by a professionally builtrock wall. The front of the house though is another story becauseinstead of a wall along the sidewalk, the rocks appear to bejust thrown up onto the dirt as if someone were in a hurry to finish.We did the best we could with what we had to work with and called this area our “rock garden”. Whenever we had leftover f lowers or plants, Denise or I would stick them out front, just to bring some color to the area.Last summer I had reached the end of the rock garden and found a tiny little plant that I could not immediately identify. I knew I didn’t plant it and Denise claimed that she didn’t either. We decided to let it continue growing until we could figure out what it was.Weeks passed and as I made my way back to the mystery plant, it appeared to be a Sunflower. It had a tall skinny stalk (茎) and only one head on it. I decided to baby_it_along and weed around it. As I pulled rocks from the area to get to the weeds, I noticed something unusual. The Sunflower had not started where I saw the stalk begin. It actually had begun under a big rock and grown under and around it to reach the sun.That’s when I realized that if a tiny little Sunflower didn’t let a big rock stand in its way of developing, we too have the ability to do the same thing. We believe in ourselves like that little Sunflower, we can attain the same food and nutrition as well.Stand tall like the Sunflower and be proud of who and what you are and the environment will begin to support you. You will find a way to go under or around your big obstacle (障碍) in order to reach your desires.语篇解读：本文为夹叙夹议文。

Commuters(通勤者)rush to and from their jobs in cars，buses，subways，trains，and even on bicycles. Large cities in the United States have two rush hours－one in the morning and one in the evening. But in cities in other parts of the world，there are four rush hours. In Athens and Rome，for example，many workers go home for lunch and a nap. After this midday break，they rush back to their jobs and work for a few more hours.In Tokyo，there's a big rush hour underground. Most of the people in Tokyo take the subways. The trains are very crowded. Subway employees called packers wear white gloves and help pack the commuters into the trains when the doors place. They make sure that all purses，briefcases，clothes，and hands are inside the trains.In Seoul，many commuters prefer to take taxis to get to work，To hail a cab，many people stand at crossroads and raise two fingers. This means they'll pay the cab driver double the usual fare. Some people even raise three fingers！They'll pay THREE times the normal rate.Streets in Rome are very crowded with automobiles and mopeds(摩托自行车)during rush hours. The city can't make its streets wider，and it can't build new highways，because it doesn't want to disturb many historic sites in the city，such as the Forum and the Colosseum. It took the city fifteen years to construct a new subway system. Construction had to stop every time workers found old artifacts and discovered places of interest to archaeologists(考古学家)．In many big cities，there are special lanes on highways for carpools. These are groups of three or more people who driver to and from work together. They share the costs of gas and parking and take turns driving into the city.Getting to work and getting home can be difficult in many places around the world. Rush hour traffic seems to be a universal problem.36．Big cities have traffic problems during rush hours because there are ________．A．special lanes on highwaysB．many commutersC．four rush hoursD．many cars on the street37．Most of commuters in Tokyo ________．A．take subway trains to workB．are packersC．take taxis to workD．carry briefcases to work38．To“hail a cab”means to ________．A．pay double the normal rateB．try to get a cabC．prefer to take taxisD．to stand at crossroads39．Why did it take a long time to build a subway system in Rome?A．Because the streets were very crowded.B．Because there are many historic sites.C．Because the workers discovered many artifacts and places of interest.D．Because the traffic always stopped the construction.BBelieve it or not，optical illusion(错觉)can cut highway crashes. Japan is a case in point. It has reduced automobile crashes on some roads by nearly 75% using a simple optical illusion. Bent stripes，called chevrons(人字形)，painted on the roads make drivers think that they are driving faster than they really are，and thus drivers slow down.Now the American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety in Washington D．C.is planning to repeat Japan's success. Starting next year，the Foundation will paint chevrons and other patterns of stripes on selected roads aroundthe country to test how well the patterns reduce highway crashes.Excessive speed plays a major role in as much as one fifth of all fatal traffic accidents，according to the Foundation. To help reduce those accidents，the Foundation will conduct its tests in areas where speed－related hazards(危险)are the greatest－curves，exit slopes，traffic circles，and bridges.Some studies suggest that straight，horizontal bars painted across roads can at first cut the average speed of drivers in half.However，traffic often returns to full speed within months as drivers become used to seeing the painted bar.Chevron，scientists say，not only give drives the impression that they are driving faster than they really are but also make a lane appear to be narrower. The result is a longer lasting reduction in highway speed and the number of traffic accidents.40．The passage mainly discusses ________．A．a new way of highway speed controlB．a new pattern for painting highwaysC．a new approach to training driversD．a new type of optical illusion41．On roads painted with chevrons，drivers tend to feel ________．A．they should avoid speed－related hazardsB．they are driving in the wrong laneC．they should slow down their speedD．they are approaching the speed limit42．The American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety plans to ________．A．try out the Japanese method in certain areasB．change the road signs across the countryC．replace straight，horizontal bars with chevronsD．repeat the Japanese road patterns43．The advantage of chevrons over straight，horizontal bars is that the former ________．A．can keep drivers awakeB．can cut road accidents in halfC．will have a longer effect on driversD．will look more attractiveCWildlife faces threats (威胁) from habitat destruction, pollution, and other human actions. Although protecting wildlife may seem too hard at times, even small actions in your own neighbourhood can help protect many different animals. Here are some tips on how to protect wildlife through small actions.1．Create wildlife friendly areas in your backyard.When trying to make your garden more beautiful, you can choose plants that can provide food and shelter to native wildlife. This will also help cut down on pollution. Add bird or bat houses to your yard or garden to attract and shelter these species.2．Avoid harming the natural ecosystem (生态系统) in your area.Some plants from other places can kill or harm native plants that provide food and shelter for wildlife.3．____________By using less water and fewer fuels, you will be helping to protect the wildlife around you. Take buses or the subway when you can，turn off electric devices when you're not using them, take shorter showers，and keep your room temperature at or below 6－8 degrees during the winter.4．Buy products that are wildlife friendly.Don't buy products that are made from endangered animals. Keep in mind that some endangered animals are killed by traps, catches or hunters who are after other wildlife within the same habitat.5．Donate money or time to organizations that protect wildlife and their habitats.You can give money to organizations or groups that protect wildlife species in your neighbourhood.44．We infer that the purpose of this passage is to ________．A．tell us why protecting wildlife is extremely important nowB．suggest that we protect wildlife through actionsC．explain why protecting wildlife is not as hard as people thinkD．give us some tips on how to protect wildlife through small actions45．Which of the following threats to wildlife is NOT mentioned in the passage?A．Animal diseases. B．Loss of habitat.C．Pollution. D．Hunters.46．In which section of a newspaper would you most probably read this passage?A．Environment. B．Teaching.C．Business. D．Geography.DFourteen－year－old Richie Hawley had spent five years studying violin at the Community School of Performing Arts in Los Angeles when he took part in a violin contest. Ninety two young people were invited to the contest and Hawley came out first.The contest could have been the perfect setup for fear，worrying about mistakes，and trying to impress the judges. But Hawley says he did pretty well in staying calm.“I couldn't be thinking about how many mistakes I'd make－it would distract(干扰)me from playing，”he says.“I didn't even remember trying to impress people w hile I played. It's almost as if they weren't there. I just wanted to make music.”Hawley is a winner. But he didn't become a winner by concentrating on winning. He did it by concentrating on playing well.A characteristic of high performers is their intense，pleasurable concentration on work，rather than on their competitors or future glory or money，says Dr.Charles Garfield，who has studied 1，500 achievers in business，science，sports，the arts，and professions.“They are interested in winning，but they're most interested in self－development，testing their limits.”One of the most surprising things about top performers is how many losses they've had and how much they've learned from each.“Not one of the 1，500 I studied defined losing as failing，”Garfield says.“They kept calling their losses ‘setbacks’．”A healthy attitude toward setbacks is essential to winning，experts agree.“The worst thing you can do if you've had a setback is to let yourself get stuck in a prolonged depression. You should analyze carefully what went wrong，identify specific things you did right and give yourself credit for them.”Garfield believes that most people don't give themselves enough praise. He even suggests keeping a diary of all the positive things you've done on the way to a goal.47．Hawley won the contest because ________．A．he put all his mind to his performanceB．he cared much about the judges' feelingsC．he worried about making mistakes.D．he paid close attention to the people around48．High performers is that they tend to concentrate on ________．A．glory B．wealthC．pleasure D．work49．The passage tells us that “praise” in times of trouble ________．A．helps people deal with their disappointmentB．makes people forget their setbacksC．makes people regret about their pastD．helps people realize their goals50．It can be learned from the passage that top performers are not ________．A．interested in winningB．free of lossesC．accustomed to failuresD．concerned about setbacksⅣ.书面表达(满分25分)假如你是新华中学的学生李华，刚参加完“美国高校一周游”的夏令营活动，在离开之前，你想给新结交的美国朋友Monica写一封感谢信，内容应包括以下要点：1．表示感谢；2．描述参加此次夏令营的收获。

What is the purpose of the last part of the text?A. To encourage donations.B. To advertise coming events.C. To introduce special exhibits.D. To tell about the Center’s history.BWe are often unable to pay close attention to what we hear. J ust like when we try to grab a sponge(海绵) that is full of water, some water will run out of it. But somet imes we try to remember everything a speaker says and try to take in a speaker’s every word as if every word was equally i mportant. We try to remember all the names, all the dates, an d all the places. In the process we often miss the speaker’s m ain point.Erik Waldman works at a design company. Knowing he had never been good at budgeting his money, he was determined t o begin thinking about his economic future. When his employ er circulated an e-mail announcing a financial planning workshop(研讨会), Erik signed up right away.The first session was about retirement planning. Simone Fish er, the lecturer, explained that 7 of 10 Americans between the ages of 22 and 35 do not have a regular savings plan. Erik wr ote down every number Simone mentioned."If you want to have a retirement income equal to 75 percent of your current salary," Simone continued, "you will need to sa ve at least of 6 percent of your present earnings, taking into a ccount future inflation rates(通货膨胀率). In the meantime, I want to stress that the most important t hing is to start saving now."Erik recorded all the statistics Simone used. When she opene d the floor(自由发言) for question, Erik raised his hand and said, "I have two qu estion. When is the best time to start saving for retirement? A nd how can I figure out my savings target if I don’t know what inflation rates will be in the future?"This is a typical example of losing the speaker’s point by conc entrating on details. Erik had fixed his mind on remembering all the statistics in Simone’s presentation, but he blocked out th e main message. Rather than trying to remember everything, we should concentrate on main ideas and evidence.4.What does the author mean by saying "Just like when we ... run out of it."?A. We tend to reject what others say.B. We always try to remember all details.C. It is difficult for us to remember all things.D. We often fail to focus on what we are listening to.5.During the workshop, Erik __________ .A. got Simone Fisher’ s main ideaB. focused on the lecture's detailsC. showed little interest in the lectureD. didn't agree with what Simone had said6.When hearing Erik's questions, Simone would most probabl y think __________.A. they are very good questionsB. Erik was an excellent listenerC.it was hard to answer the questionsD. his questions were meaningless7.The passage is written to help those who want to be __________.A. a good listenerB. a financial plannerC.an excellent lecturerD. a successful employeeC(河北省衡水冀州中学2017届高复班第二次阶段考试)When Pat Jones finishes college, she decides to travel aro und the world and see as many foreign places as she could w hile she was young. Pat wants to visit Latin America first, so s he got a job as an English teacher in a school in Bolivia. Pat s poke a little Spanish, so she was able to communicate with he r students even when they didn’t know much English. Once, a sentence she had read somewhere struck her mind; i f you dream in a foreign language, you have really mastered it . Pat repeated this sentence to her students and hopes that s ome day she would dream in Spanish and they would dream i n English.One day, one of her worst students came up and explained in Spanish that he had not done his homework. He had gone to bed early and had slept badly.＂What does this have to do with your homework?＂ Pat asked.＂I dreamed all night, Miss Jones. And my dream was in Englis h.＂＂In English?＂ Pat was very surprised, since he was such a ba d student. She was even secretly jealous. Her dream was still not in Spanish. But she encouraged her young students, ＂Well, tell me about your dream.＂＂All the people in my dream spoke English. All the newspapers and magazines and all the TV programs were in English.＂＂But that’s wonderful,＂ said Pat. ＂What did all the people say to you?＂＂I am sorry, Miss Jones. That’s why I slept so badly. I didn’t un derstand a word they said. It was a nightmare.＂8.Pat believed that ________.A. people can learn foreign languages in their dreamsB. she already dreamed in Spanish so she has mastered Spa nishC. one of her worst students had already mastered EnglishD. dreaming in a foreign language means a good command of it9.Pat’s student didn’t finish his homework because ________.A. the homework was too difficultB. the student dreamed in EnglishC. the student didn’t sleep wellD. the student didn’t know much English10.The writer wrote this story ________.A. to show us how to learn a foreign languageB. to show us how to teach a foreign languageC. to amuse us with an interesting storyD. to encourage us to travel to foreign countries11.From the passage we can infer that ________.A. in Bolivia, people speak SpanishB. Pat’s student who dreamed in English was actually good at EnglishC. Pat has already learned much SpanishD. in Latin America, the newspapers and magazines are in En glishDCyclist Alain Such has been dropped from the Ingotel cycling team for two years after a positive drug test at the Institute of Drug Free Sport. “I was flabbergasted.” said Vidier Garcia, fro m Team Ingotel. “Ala in joined our team last month and we ha d no idea that he was being examined.It’s a story that has become more and more familiar in recent years. Dr Mohammad Farnood, a leading sports scientist from Cairo, Egypt, said, “It is thought that some athletes will look f or other ways to improve performance in addition to using dru gs.”However, it has not always been against the law. In the Olym pics in 1994,Thomas Hicks won the marathon after using drug s in the middle of the race. In fact, the first one didn’t make hi m feel better for long, so he was given another and, as a resul t, he fell down soon after finishing and knew nothing. Another one may well have killed him.Things are very different today. Some scientists are consideri ng the possibility of using genetic engineering to further devel op athletes’ abilities. “If it works with no risk of discovery,” said Dr Farnood,“then it’s likely to become common practice for at hletes.”Researchers are looking at the possibility of identifying “athleti c” genes and correcting weak ones. Put into practice, this wou ld make a person healthier and stronger. Once scientists understand what the genes of top athletes look like, it might even become possible to identify “athletic” genes in young peopl e, and then money could be spent on children who have the most promising genes.“People are beginning to recognize can in many do good to o ur society, for ex-ample in saving lives and in creating better quality food for pe ople.”Dr Farnood says.” So, is it fair to use genetic engineerin g in sport? You could ask if it’s fair for some runners to use th e latest scientifically developed footwear, the key question is whether it’s available to everyone.12.What does the underlined word “flabbergasted” in Paragra ph l mean?A. Shy.B. Proud.C. Excited.D. Surprised.13.What happened to Thomas Hicks in 1904?A. He was badly hurt n training.B. He broke the law when running in a race.C. He took drugs and almost got killed.D. He lost the match in the Olympic Games.14.Who may show the greatest concern about using genetic e ngineering in sport?A. Didier Garcia.B. Thomas Hicks.C. Cyclist Alain Such.D. Dr Mohammad Farnood.15.What can we learn from Paragraph 5 and 6?A. The possibility of identifying “athletic” genes has become a vailable.B. It’s not clear whether it is fair to use genetic engineering in sport.C. The practice of using drugs in sport has a long history..D. It’s dangerous to use drugs in sport.第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
