S (USFWS) decided to formally list the bird as threatened."The lesser is in a desperate situation," said USFWS Director Daniel Ashe.Some environmentalists, however, were disappointed.They had pushed the agency to designate the bird as "endangered," a status that gives federal officials greater regulatory power to crack down on threats.But Ashe and others argued that the "threatened" tag gave the federal government flexibility to try out new, potentially less confrontational conservations approaches.In particular, they called for forging closer collaborations with western state governments, which are often uneasy with federal action and with the private landowners who control an estimated 95% of the prairie chicken's habitat.southwestern United States ⽣物学家估计美国中⻄部和⻄南部的⼴袤草原上曾⽣活着多达200万只的⼩草原松鸡,这些红⾊的⼩草原松鸡为灰蒙蒙的草原⻛貌增添了⼏分红艳。

UK parents hope their kids can grow into successful people so they make their kids learn all kinds of subjects after school.

For example, young kids have to learn French, swimming, painting and so on to follow their parents' ideas. 75% of parents think that early learning is good for kids. Most kids who go to after-class activities are under 6 years old.The famous educator Lisa Houghton says, "Although learning different kinds of subjects is important to kids, it's more important to make them have a happy childhood. Parents should spend more time having fun with their kids, not just making them stay in the classrooms."46.

This year’s *slogan is“*Breathe Easily, Sleep Well”. Its aim is to celebrate the*benefits of good and healthy sleep.Fangfang, from Liaoning, just became a high school studentlast September. She gets up at 5:30 a.m. every day and goes to bed at about midnight. Fangfang feels sleepy all the time. “I want to finish all my homework first,” she said.Sleep is like food for the brain. Enough sleep helps the body and brain grow and develop. According to the National Sleep *Foundation in the US, adults need seven to nine hours of sleep every night. For students who are 10 to 17 years old, a healthy amount is about eight to nine hours every night.But many students don’t get enough sleep because of early school start time and heavy homework. About 80 percent of middle school students don’t get enough sleep, the China Youth and Children Research Center reported. For some students, they want to sleep early, but they keep worrying about their schoolwork and can’t fall asleep quickly. For others, they may even have insomnia, and usually they have to ask the doctors for help.These sleeping problems greatly *affect people’s life. Some doctors found out that *lack of sleep for teenagers lead to poor grades. Students without enough sleep cannot pay attention in class or do well in sports. Also, they often become anxious easily.Luckily, with good sleep habits, it is easier to fall asleep. Some of these good habits include *avoiding drinks that make people excited late in the day, going to sleep at the same time every night, and sleeping in a comfortable place that is dark, quiet, and neither too warm nor too cold.More tips to get a good night’s sleep:✧Exercising during the day. You’d better do sports three hours before going to bed.✧Don’t eat big meals before bedtime. Drink a warm glass of milk.✧If you stay awake worrying about things, try making a list of things that you need to do before you go to bed.36. How much sleep do students aged from 10 to 17 need every night?A. 7 hours.B. 8-9 hours.C. 10-12 hoursD. Less than 7 hours.37. What does the word “insomnia” mean in Paragraph 4?A. 失眠症.B. 好动症.C. 咽喉炎.D. 关节炎.38. If teenagers don’t get enough sleep, they may _____________.A. do well in sportsB. grow and develop betterC. feel sleepy in classD. do much better in studies39. Which of the following is a good sleeping habit according to the passage?A. Do exercise at night before going to bed.B. Going to sleep at the same time every night.C. Going to sleep in a place where it is bright.D. Eat big meals or drink a lot of wine at night.40. What is the main idea of the passage?A. People should sleep well to live healthy and study better.B. Teenagers should sleep longer on Saturdays and Sundays.C. People should see the doctor if they don’t have enough sleep.D. Teenagers don’t get enough sleep because of heavy homework.参考答案36—40、BACBA【能力选练】 COne morning it was shining brightly when I woke up. I looked at the alarm clock. It said 3:45! It had stopped! What time was it? I climbed out of bed and went downstairs to the kitchen. The kitchen clock said 8:30—I was late! My parents were away. My aunt had gone to work without checking if I was up. The school bus went at 8:00 . I had missed it. I rang my friend Tony on his mobile phone.“Tell the teacher I’ll be in as soon as I can !”I said.“Come on your rollerblades,” Tony said.“It will be faster than the bus.”I washed and dressed in a hurry. I grabbed an apple to eat on the way. That was my breakfast! Then I put on my rollerblades and set off for school. It took half an hour to get to the school. I took all the shortcuts I knew. I went across the park — even through some backyards! When I got to school,I was very hot and my legs ached. I had missed math,our first lesson of the morning.

Do you know how it is when you see someone yawn (打哈欠) and you start yawning too? Or how hard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself? Well, obviously it’s be cause we have mirror neurons (神经元) in our brains.Put simply, the presence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something, our brains model after it, whether or not we actually perform the same action. This explains a great deal about how we learn to smile, talk, walk, dance or play sports. But the idea goes further: mirror neurons not only appear to explain physical actions,they also tell us that there is a biological basis for the way we understand other people.Mirror neurons can undoubtedly be found all over our brains,but especially in the areas which relate to our ability to use languages,and to understand how other people feel. Researchers have found that mirror neurons relate strongly to language. A group of researche rs discovered that if they gave people sentences to listen to (for example: “The hand took hold of the ball”), the same mirror neurons were triggered as when the action was actually performed (in this example, actually taking hold of a ball).Any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior. Much research suggests that peop le with social and behavioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully functioning (行使职责). However, it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries might help find treatments for social disorders.Research into mirror neurons seems to provide us with ever more information about how humans behave, communicate and spend time together. Indeed, it may turn out to be nearly the same important thing for neuroscience as what Einstein’s theory of r elativity (相对论) was for physics. And the next time you have the strong feeling to cough in the cinema when someone else does – well, perhaps you’ll understand why.48. Mirror neurons can explain ______.A. why we cry when we are hurtB. why we cough when we catch a coldC. why we smile when we see someone else smileD. why we yawn when we see someone else get up late49. The word “triggered” in Paragraph 3 probably means “______”.A. set offB. cut offC. broken outD. found out50. We can learn from the passage that mirror neurons _______.A. relate to human behavior and communicationB. decide our knowledge and language abilitiesC. result in bad behavior and social disordersD. control human actions and appearances51. What is the passage mainly about?A. Ways to find mirror neurons.B. Problems of mirror neurons.C. Discovery of mirror neurons.D. Functions of mirror neurons.参考答案48. C 49. A 50. A 51.

I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student, and said:”Make something out of the Tinkertoys. You have 45 minutes today - and 45minutes each day for the rest of the week.”A few students hesitated to start. They waited to see the rest of the class would do. Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided. Another group built something out of their own imaginations.Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time. His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home. I was delighted at the presence of such a student. Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work. His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect(感染) other students.Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside. I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking. Without fail one would declare, ” But I’m just not creative.”“Do you dream at night when you’re asleep?”“Oh, sure.”“So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.” The student would tell something wildly imaginative. Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads. “That’s pretty creative. Who does that for you?”“Nobody. I do it.”“Really-at night, when you’re asleep?”“Sure.”“Try doing it in the daytime, in class, okay?”25. The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to ________?A. know more about the studentsB. make the lessons more excitingC. raise the students’ interest in artD. teach the students about toy design26. What do we know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3?A. He liked to help his teacher.B. He preferred to study alone.C. He was active in class.D. He was imaginative.27. What does the underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Mistake.B. Drawback.C. Difficulty.D. Burden.28. Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams?A. To help them to see their creativity.B. To find out about their sleeping habits.C. To help them to improve their memory.D. To find out about their ways of thinking.CReading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.Bruce Pederson, the managi ng director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossing to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual(虚拟). The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.29. Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph?A. To explain what they are.B. To introduce BookCrossing.C. To stress the importance of reading.D. To encourage readers to share their ideas.30. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2refer to?A. The book.B. An adventure.C.A public place.D. The identification number.31. What will a BookCrosser do with a book after reading it?A. Meet other readers to discuss it.B. Keep it safe in his bookcase.C. Pass it on to another reader.D. Mail it back to its owner.32. What is the best title for the text?A. Online Reading: A Virtual TourB. Electronic Books: A new TrendC. A Book Group Brings Tradition BackD. A Website Links People through BooksDA new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to lifeFrank Hurley’s pictures would be outstanding----undoubtedly first-ratephoto-journalism---if they had been made last week. In fact, they were shot from 1914 through 1916, most of them after a disastrous shipwreck(海滩), by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival. Many of the images were stored in an ice chest, under freezing water, in the damaged wooden ship.The ship was the Endurance, a small, tight, Norwegian-built three-master that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists, 27 men in all, to the southernmost shore of Antarctica’s Weddell Sea. From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled(雪橇) across the continent. The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done. Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had died with his four companions on the march back.As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and well-researched story The Endurance, adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort. Scott’s last journey, completed as he lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger, caught the world’s imagination, and a film made in his honor drew crowds. Shackleton, a onetime British merchant-navy officer who had got to within 100 miles of the South Pole in 1908, started a business before his 1914 voyage to make money from movie and still photography. Frank Hurley, a confident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic, was hired to make the images, most of which have never before been published.33. What do we know about the photos taken by Hurley?A. They were made last weekB. They showed undersea sceneriesC. They were found by a cameramanD. They recorded a disastrous adventure34. Who reached the South Pole first according to the text?A. Frank HurleyB. Ernest ShackletonC. Robert Falcon ScottD. Caroline Alexander35. What does Alexander think was the purpose of the 1914 voyage?A. Artistic creationB. Scientific researchC. Money makingD. Treasure hunting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。

There’s always something deep in our soul that never dies. I moved to the small, busy town of Edison in New Jersey six years ago. It was during the second term of my fifth grade. My parents got new jobs and higher income, so they decided it was time to move from Woodbridge to a better, more educational town.In the US, it is unnecessary to take a test to get into a “good” middle or high school. You just attend the school close to where you live. So, many parents will think about the q uality (质量,品质) of the local school when they dec ide to buy a new house. My parents did the same. We finally chose Edison mainly because of the high quality of its school.In New Jersey, an area with a good school usually means a concentration of Asian people. There are about 300 students in our school. 55% are Asians and just under half of that are Chinese. There are so many Chinese people nearby that we even have our own Chinese school.Edison is an old town, just like thousands of others in the United States. However, I have treated it as my hometown. That’s where I spend much of my youth, and the memories there can’t be moved a t all.31. Why did the writer’s parents move to Edison?A. Because they were born there.B. Because it was a better educational town.C. Because the writer began his fifth grade.D. Because the writer didn’t need to take a test.32. How many students are from Asia in the writer’s school?A. About 80.B. About 160.C. About 220.D. About 300.33. What does the underlined expression “a concentration of” mean in Paragraph 3?A. None ofB. The whole ofC. A large number ofD.

Some body languages may have different meanings in different countries. Here are three examples.Handshakes are popular in the US and suitable for use between men and women. However, in Muslim cultures, men may not shake hands or touch women in any way. In Hindu cultures, Hindu men may never shake hands with women. Instead, they greet women by placing their hands as if praying.The thumbs up gesture could show “OK” or “good” in countrieslike the US, France and Germany. But this same gesture isinsulting in other countries like Iran, Bangladesh and Thailand,where it has the same meaning as showing the middle finger in theUS.“Making a circle with one’s thumb and index finger while extending the others” has the m eaning of “OK” in America. In China, we always take it as number three. Of course, we use it as “OK” as well at present. However, in Japan and Korean it means “money”. Learning a culture’s body language is sometimes confusing. If you don’t know what to do, the safest thing to do is to smile.( ) 36.The examples used in this passage don’t include____________.A. making a circle with one’s thumb and index finger while extending the othersB. pointing at the other a personC. thumbs upD. shaking hands( ) 37.According to the passage, Which one is TRUE?A. In Muslim cultures and in Hindu cultures, men may not shake hands with women.B. Thumbs up in the US and Germany.C. Showing the middle finger in the US and the thumbs up in Bangladesh.D. Shaking hands in the US and in the Muslim countries.( ) 38.What is the passage mainly about?A. People in different countries use the same body language to express the same meaning.B.

I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student, and said:”Make something out of the Tinkertoys. You have 45 minutes today - and 45minutes each day for the rest of the week.”A few students hesitated to start. They waited to see the rest of the class would do. Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided. Another group built something out of their own imaginations.Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time. His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home. I was delighted at the presence of such a student. Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work. His presence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect(感染) other students.Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside. I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking. Without fail one would declare, ” But I’m just not creative.”“Do you dream at night when you’re asleep?”“Oh, sure.”“So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.” The student would tell something wildly imaginative. Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads. “That’s pretty creative. Who does that for you?”“Nobody. I do it.”“Really-at night, when you’re asleep?”“Sure.”“Try doing it in the daytime, in class, okay?”25. The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to ________?A. know more about the studentsB. make the lessons more excitingC. raise the students’ interest in artD. teach the students about toy design26. What do we know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3?A. He liked to help his teacher.B. He preferred to study alone.C. He was active in class.D. He was imaginative.27. What does the underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Mistake.B. Drawback.C. Difficulty.D. Burden.28. Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams?A. To help them to see their creativity.B. To find out about their sleeping habits.C. To help them to improve their memory.D. To find out about their ways of thinking.CReading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website turns the page on the traditional idea of a book group.Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves it in a public place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.Bruce Pederson, the managi ng director of BookCrossing, says, “The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both.”Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops. Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it. E-mails are then sent to the BookCrossing to keep them updated about where their books have been found. Bruce peterson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the “real” and not the virtual(虚拟). The site now has more than one million members in more than one hundred thirty-five countries.29. Why does the author mention book groups in the first paragraph?A. To explain what they are.B. To introduce BookCrossing.C. To stress the importance of reading.D. To encourage readers to share their ideas.30. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2refer to?A. The book.B. An adventure.C.A public place.D. The identification number.31. What will a BookCrosser do with a book after reading it?A. Meet other readers to discuss it.B. Keep it safe in his bookcase.C. Pass it on to another reader.D. Mail it back to its owner.32. What is the best title for the text?A. Online Reading: A Virtual TourB. Electronic Books: A new TrendC. A Book Group Brings Tradition BackD. A Website Links People through BooksDA new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to lifeFrank Hurley’s pictures would be outstanding----undoubtedly first-ratephoto-journalism---if they had been made last week. In fact, they were shot from 1914 through 1916, most of them after a disastrous shipwreck(海滩), by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival. Many of the images were stored in an ice chest, under freezing water, in the damaged wooden ship.The ship was the Endurance, a small, tight, Norwegian-built three-master that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists, 27 men in all, to the southernmost shore of Antarctica’s Weddell Sea. From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled(雪橇) across the continent. The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done. Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had died with his four companions on the march back.As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear in her forceful and well-researched story The Endurance, adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort. Scott’s last journey, completed as he lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger, caught the world’s imagination, and a film made in his honor drew crowds. Shackleton, a onetime British merchant-navy officer who had got to within 100 miles of the South Pole in 1908, started a business before his 1914 voyage to make money from movie and still photography. Frank Hurley, a confident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic, was hired to make the images, most of which have never before been published.33. What do we know about the photos taken by Hurley?A. They were made last weekB. They showed undersea sceneriesC. They were found by a cameramanD. They recorded a disastrous adventure34. Who reached the South Pole first according to the text?A. Frank HurleyB. Ernest ShackletonC. Robert Falcon ScottD. Caroline Alexander35. What does Alexander think was the purpose of the 1914 voyage?A. Artistic creationB. Scientific researchC. Money makingD. Treasure hunting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。

Why is pink or purple a color for girls and blue or brown for boys?The answer depends largely on cultural values as well as personal experiences. To the Egyptians, green is a color that means the hope and joy of spring, while for Muslims, it means heaven. Red stands for good luck in many cultures. In China, children are given money in a red envelope to bring good luck in the New Year. For many nations, blue stands for protection. Greek people often wear a blue necklace hoping to protect themselves from bad people or bad things happening.People’s choice of colors is also influenced by their bodies’ reactions (反应) toward them. Green is said to be the most restful color. It has the ability to cut down pain and relax people both mentally and physically. People who work in green environment have been found to have fewer stomachaches.Red can cause a person’s blood pressure (血压) to rise and increase people’s appetites (食欲). Many designers will include different shades of red in restaurants. Similarly, some websites will have a red “Buy Now” button because red is a color that easily catches a person’s eye s.Blue is another color which can make you feel peacefully.

A group of 20 international students have been volunteering their time to help some elderly people in the Chaoyang district with their English, Beijing Daily reported. These volunteers, from Beijing International Studies University and Communication Un iversity of China, give some daily-use English instructions to around 30 elderly people in the Balizhuang area of Chaoyang district.One of them, He Peisheng, said that “Even though Beijing has many English languageschools, few of them are oriented to(主要服务于) people like us. So we’re really happy that these international students come to our community to teach us and they're professional(专业的) and free.”The English class is the brainchild(成果)of community leaders who wanted to give people a basic command of English language.
