Ⅰ.阅读理解(共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A
Many wealthy and well­traveled people want a completely new experience, but they don't necessarily want to give up luxury accommodations and service. The following vacations could be best choices.
Cruise down the Amazon River
Aqua Expeditions takes up to 32 passengers at a time on guided journeys of three, four, or seven days down the Amazon River. Those adventurers see forests and waterfalls, visit local fish markets, and take canoe trips. They also take in wildlife such as capuchin monkeys and river dolphins.
Go Glamping in Montana
The Resort at Paws Up located on a cattle ranch (牧场) is a standout in the type. The ranch rents homes with up to four bedrooms, but it's the luxury tents that offer closer communion with the outdoors. Tents are arranged into camps, each of which has a private chef and butler, the latter of whom helps build campfires and arrange daytime activities. Guests can participate in a cattle drive, go clay shooting, take a hot air balloon trip, or ride horses.
Climb inside a Volcano in Iceland
Iceland is famous for its volcanoes and has plenty of luxury hotel options. Thrill­seekers can actually go down into the dormant (休眠的), 700­foot­deep Thrihnukagigur, by using an open elevator. Take a helicopter if you want to skip the 2­mile hike to the volcano, and arrange a priv ate tour to avoid crowds. And visitors traveling there can enjoy the luxury hotel such as the ION Luxury Adventure Hotel and the Hotel Rangá.

B
When he was 22, Rob Stewart traveled the world for four years. He wanted to call attention to the mistreatment of sharks. His 2007 film, Sharkwater, documents the
cruel practice of removing sharks' fins (鳍) for money and leaving
the animals to die. In his latest documentary, Revolution, Stewart
takes on an even bigger challenge: climate change.
The Canadian filmmaker says that climate change has harmed
people and places everywhere: “It is stronger than any government
or organization. If we educate people, they will make better decisions about protecting natural resources.”
According to a recent report on climate change, “The atmosphere and ocean have w armed, the amounts of snow and ice have reduced, and the sea levels have risen.” These developments are endangering crops, wildlife, fish, and even people.
Stewart says that the consequences of climate change will be irreversible unless people take action, especially young people. “It's up to kids to be the moral compass (道德指南) of society，” he believes, “and say, ‘Guys, this is not right.’”
Many kids took action after seeing Sharkwater. Elementary school students in the
Northern Mariana Islands, for example, got their local government to ban the sale of shark fins.
Felix Finkbeiner, 17, of Germany is also part of the “revolution” to save the planet. In 2007, Felix started a youth group called Plant­for­the­Planet, whose motto is “Stop Talking. Start Planting.” The group raises money to plant trees. So far,
generations are the ones who will be suffering the most from inaction (无作为)，” Felix says. His goal is to plant millions of additional trees.
“When we started four years ago，” Felix tells Stewart in Revolution, “we thought we had to save the polar bear. We thought we had to save the environment. But soon after, we found out that it's about our future, that we have to save our own futu re.”

Farmers have long relied on things that work without their involvement — bees to pollinate (授粉) flowers, earthworms (蚯蚓) to turn the soil, swallows to eat pests — to make sure that crops grow the right way.Now a team of British researchers is trying to take this hands­off thinking in a high­tech st October, scientists at Harper Adams University started a farm called the Hands Free Hectare to make the entire process of farming — from sowing and fertilizing to harvest —fully automatic.The project has just succeeded with five tons of robot­grown barley (大麦)．
“We believe the best idea is that in the future, farmers will manage gro ups of smaller, autonomous machines，” the researchers explained.“They will go out and work in the fields, allowing farmers to use their time more effectively instead of having to drive up and down the fields.”
At the moment, agricultural machines — very large and heavy — can cover a lot of space quickly.But there are shortcomings.“Fertilizer gets sprayed over entire farms, regardless of the different needs of different crops.They're also so heavy that they're damaging farmers' soils，” researcher Jonathan Gi ll said.
Gill and his colleagues went smaller: a tractor, a combine and a harvester, which followed a programmed route, using GPS.Altogether, they spent less than ￡200,000 on equipment, and used open­source technology and a drone (无人机)．Eventually the system will be complex enough to treat different parts of a field, or even individual plants, differently.
The team is quick to caution that they don't want to put farmers out of work.They said, “Instead of being busy in the fields, the farmer will manage the m achines and monitor their crops.” The next stop for the barley will be a brewery.That's not going
to be completely automatic.At least not yet.
语篇解读：本文是说明文。

蜜蜂、蚯蚓以及燕子不需要人类的干预就可以为农业生产做出贡献。

科研人员力图将这种“无为而治”的思想应用于高科技的领域，改进农业机械以实现全面的农业自动化。

8．What feature of bees, earthworms and swallows inspired scientists?
A．Their dependence on nature.
B．Their special way of survival.
C．Their selfless love for the earth.
D．Their natural involvement in farming.
解析：选D 推理判断题。

根据第一段的“Now a team of British researchers is trying to take this hands­off thinking in a high­tech direction”以及第二段的内容可知，蜜蜂、蚯蚓以及燕子不需要人类的干涉就可以使庄稼受益，研究者希望将这种“无为而治”的思想应用于科技农业的领域。

9．What advantage of Gill's equipment is introduced in Para.4?
A．Freeing workers totally.
B．Reducing the cost of harvest.
C．Improving the accuracy of farming.
D．Increasing the output of different crops.
解析：选C 细节理解题。

根据第三段的“Fertilizer gets sprayed over entire farms, regardless of the different needs of different crops”可知，现有的农业机械设备不能精准施肥。

第四段介绍了科研队选用小规模的农业设备，再加上GPS和无人机等设备的配合，可以实现精准农业的目标。

10．What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．Gill's project is still at the design stage.
B．Unemployment wouldn't be a concern.
C．The brewery will realize automation soon.
D．Complete automatic farming is unrealistic.
解析：选B 推理判断题。

根据最后一段的内容可知，科研队并不想农民因为农业自动化而失业，农民需要控制机器并持续观察农作物。

Ⅱ.阅读七选五(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。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

Each year, many animal species die out. They join the countless species that have gone extinct (灭绝的) over the course of the earth's history and many people believe
they disappear forever.__11__
Now some scientists are focusing on the ability to bring back extinct species. This doesn't mean the plot of Jurassic Park is going to become a reality. The researchers need DNA to clone a species.__12__ Dinosaurs have been gone too long for any of their DNA to remain in fossils (化石)．
But there's a very real chance that we will be able to bring back more recently extinct species. __13__ In 2003, a team of Spanish and French scientists recreated the Pyrenean ibex, which had gone extinct three years earlier. The new animal didn't survive long, but scientific advances could improve the success rate. In January, Australian scientists announced that they were on their way to bringing back the gastric brooding frog.
That we can bring species back doesn't mean that we should do that. There may be much benefit of reviving (使复生) a species, but there's no way to know how it will turn out. __14__ Or might it crowd out existing species? Environmentalists worry that our ability to bring species back might cut down support for the hard work of traditional conservation.
__15__ If we can correct our mistake, why not use the chance to do that? As Stewart Brand, a businessman and environmentalist, recently said，“Humans have made a huge hole in nature. We have the ability now to repair some of that damage.”
A．DNA is the chemical that carries the structure of a living thing.
B．In addition, most people think that the extinction of some animals is really humans' mistake.
C．However, some people argue that the extinction of some animals is really our mistake.
D．This could even include Ice Age animals like the woolly mammoth.
E．However, you might need to redefine (重新定义) “forever”．
F．This could even be true to dinosaurs that were extinct long ago.
G．For example, would a passenger pigeon fit into its old habitat (栖息地)?
答案：11～15 EADGC

NRP spokeswoman Candy Thomson said the owl was likely __31__ by a car. It is not __32__ for birds to be struck by cars, wildlife experts said. As __33__ encroaches (侵占) on their habitat, birds are taking more __34__. According to experts, they often are hit by cars as they eat food __35__.

Li Hua Ⅵ.读后续写(满分25分)
阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

Blair needed a break from the indoor life. Sometimes it seemed like he was in his apartment 24/7. He had recently found a perfect outdoor cure. It was a new coffeehouse which served 45 kinds of coffee and tea. He liked it because the coffee was good and the place was never overcrowded.
The coffeehouse was only a 10­minute walk, which Blair now took. There were three female customers in the coffeehouse. None of them were young and pretty. Blair was a little disappointed. He'd prefer to see good­looking women while he was drinking good coffee, but you can't have everything.
He ordered a large “coffee of the day”， which was $1.70. He gave the clerk two dollars. He put the change in the tip jar and took his coffee outside. Blair preferred to drink outside. That way he could watch the traffic on the street. He liked to try to spot British motorcycles and 1960 station wagons.
He sat at a table under an umbrella, opened his book,_and began reading. The book was a self­improvement book. Blair had been reading it on and off for about two years. He hadn't noticed any improvement. A woman was approaching the patio (平台). Blair looked up to see if she was attractive. She was. And she was by herself. He returned to the book as she passed by him. Blair kept looking at the pages, but his mind was on the woman.
A few minutes later, she came outside holding a cup of coffee and sat at the table right next to Blair's. Her chair was so close to his that he could have reached over and touched her on her right shoulder. There were four other empty tables on the patio. Why had she sat at this one, so close to him? Was she telling him that she was available? Was she hoping that he would make a move?
注意：
1．所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2．至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语；
3．续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；
4．续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。

Paragraph 1：
Blair went back to his book. But
Paragraph 2：
Just then, her cellphone rang.
参考范文：
Paragraph 1：
Blair went back to his book. But he wasn't reading the words; he was thinking about the woman. What could he say to her? How could he break the ice? What was a g ood line? “What are you drinking？” “Your perfume smells nice.” “Weren't we in the same art class？” But maybe she wasn't interested in him at all. Maybe she just wanted to sit and drink in peace. Yet why would she sit right here? His head was spinning. He must say something.
Paragraph 2：
Just then, her cellphone rang. She answered it, then laughed, then started talking energetically. That's got to be her boyfriend, Blair thought. But from the moment she answered the phone, it didn't matter if she had a boyfriend or not, because she was speaking another language. Blair was not interested in a girl who didn't speak English. He went back to his book and his coffee. It tasted good.。
