We have met the enemy，and he is ours.We bought him at a pet shop.When monkey­pox，a disease usually found in the African rain forest，suddenly turns up in children in the American Midwest，it’s hard not to wonder if the disease that comes from foreign animals is homing in on human beings.“Most of the infections(感染) we think of as human infections started in other animals，”says Stephen Morse，director of the Center for Public Health Preparedness at Columbia University.
It’s not just that we’re going to where the animals are；we’re also bringing them closer to us.Popular foreign pets have brought a whole new disease to this country.A strange illness killed Isaksen’s pets，and she now thinks that keepin g foreign pets is a bad idea.“I don’t think it’s fair to have them as pets when we have such a limited knowledge of them，”says Isaksen.
“Laws allowing these animals to be brought in from deep forest areas without stricter control need changing，”says Peter Schantz.Monkey­pox may be the_wake­up_call.Researchers believe infected animals may infect their owners.We know very little about these new diseases.A new bug(病毒) may be kind at first.But it may develop into something harmful(有害的)．Monkey­pox doesn’t look a major infectious disease.But it is not impossible to pass the disease from person to person.
64．We learn from Paragraph 1 that the pet sold at the shop may ________. A．come from Columbia
B．prevent us from being infected
C．enjoy being with children
D．suffe r from monkey­pox

Ⅰ.完成这篇文章的文脉构架图
Ⅱ.信息句与长难句分析
1．(64题信息句)When monkey­pox a disease usually found in the African rain forest，suddenly turns up in children in the American Midwest，it’s hard not to wonder if the disease t hat comes from foreign animals is homing in on human beings.
分析：本句的主要句子结构是
When_monkey­pox_suddenly_turns_up_in_children_in_the_American_Midwest，
it’s_hard_not_to_wonder_if_the_disease_is_homing_in_on_human_ beings.；a disease usually found in the African rain forest是monkey­pox 的同位语；that comes from foreign animals是定语从句，修饰先行词disease。

句中wonder意为好奇，想知道，be homing in是“归巢”的意思。

翻译：猴痘是一种常见于非洲的热带雨林的疾病，当这种疾病突发于中西部地区的儿童身上时，很难不让人想到是否这种来自国外动物身上的疾病正在侵袭人类。

2．It’s not just that we’re going to where the animals are；we’re also bringing them closer to us.
分析：本句中just是形容词作表语，意为合理的；it是形式主语，真正的主语是we’re_going_to_where_the_animals_are。

翻译：我们去那些动物所生活的地方这件事是不合理的，而且也把他们带到我们的生活中，并和他们更亲近。

3．(65题信息句)“I don’t think it’s fair to have them as pets when we have such a limited knowledge of them，” says Isaksen.
分析：句中I don’t think是否定前移；when引导时间状语从句。

翻译：Isaksen说“我认为我们在对它们知之甚少的时候就把它们当作宠物来养是不合理的”。

(2013·辽宁·阅读理解B)
Going green seems to be a fad(时尚)for a lot of people these days.Whether
that is good or bad，we can’t really say，but for the two of us，going green is not a fad but a lifestyle.
On April 22,2011，we decided to go green every single day for an entire year.This meant doing 365 different green things，and it also meant challenging ourselves to go green beyond the easy things.Rather than recycle and reduce our energy，we had to think of 365 different green things to do and this was no easy task.
With the idea of going green every single day for a year，Our Green Year started.My wife and I decided to educate people about how they could go green in their lives and hoped we could show people all the green things that could be done to help the environment.We wanted to push the message that every little bit helps.
Over the course of Our Green Year，we completely changed our lifestyles.We now shop at organic(有机的) stores.We consume less meat，choosing green food.We have greatly reduced our buying we don’t need.We have given away half of what we owned through websites.Our home is kept clean by vinegar and lemon juice，with no chemical cleaners.We make our own butter，enjoying the smell of home­made fresh bread.In our home office anyone caught doing something ungreen might be punished.
Our minds have been changed by Our Green Year.We are grateful for the chance to have been able to go green and educate others.We believe that we do have the power to change things and help our planet.60．What might the best title for the passage?
