第一节(共15小题;每小题2分，满分30分)
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。
A
When I was little,I'd see tons of bats flying around streetlights at night in my neighborhood in upstate New York.
By the time I turned 7,I noticed something strange: All the bats in my neighborhood had vanished,and I wondered why. Later I learned what hy happened to my town's bats. A disease called “white nose syndrome(白鼻综合征) ” had killed 93 percent of New York State's bats (and about 6 million bats across the country)!I was shocked. I asked the bat biologist what I could do to help,and she said, “Tell others what's been happening. Help people understand that bats are important to our environment and need to be protected."
I thought I must teach people about bats. My first stop? The library,where I eventually checked out every book on bats they had. Next,I started a Facebook page called Buddies for Bats and posted any photos,facts,and videos that I could find. Then I wrote a letter to the host of an environmental program on my local radio station,asking if they'd do a show on bats. (They did!)
But I still wanted to find a way to educate people face to face. I managed to make a presentation to a school. I also used tools to describe how bats help farmers (and protect our food supply) by eating crop-damaging insects.
I practiced my presentation until it shone like a polished stone. It went over so well that other teachers started requesting me. Over the past three years,I ve talked in front of everyone from 5-year-olds to senior citizens!The more I present,the more I notice that I am changing minds. I have watched people go from dismissing bats as “disgusting(令人厌恶的)” to truly understanding them and advocating their protection.
Right now,I'm thinking of becoming a marine biobgist (海洋生物学家) someday.As long as I'm helping animals,I'11 be happy.
21. When the author was little,bats .
A. lived mainly in the south of America

C. did great harm to the natural environment
D. existed in large quantities in upstate New York

C. starved D. expanded

A. the author's efforts to help protect bats
B. how the author started Buddies for Bats

B
All parents and schoolteachers know that being able to spell properly is a fundamental skill that young people must develop before they enter the classroom. But,as every parent and teacher also knows,learning spelling can be difficult for children in the early stages. The problem with English spelling is that the letters do not correspond to (与……相对应) speech sounds.
Good spelling skills are an important part of being able to read and write to a reasonable standard,Reading,writing and spelling are important in the first place because they all help to develop an effective level of literacy (识字).Without this,school coursework would not be completed satisfactorily and end-of-year exams would be failed. Getting good grades in exams,especially towards the end of a person's school life is extremely important if they are looking to go on to college or university before entering the employment market.
Learning to spell is important because being able to spell correctly adds so much to your skills and abilities,especially when it comes to finding a college or university place,or entering the job market for the first time. Writing a decent CV(简历) and completing the application correctly is vital in the effort to make a good impression. It was reported recently that employers rejected the vast majority of 1 ,000 job applications submitted by graduates simply because of bad spelling.
Could our use of technology be the reason for bad spelling? Although not proven,there have been concerns in recent years that the rise of text messaging and “chatspeak” used in social media could be leading to a reduction in literacy,as abbreviations(缩写) become commonly used by children. Opinions differ on this possibility. Some research suggests that this may not necessarily be true,but other studies have shown that in some cases it is a cause for concern.
But the end of school education may be too late. Obviously,the main time for learning is during childhood when most people can achieve a reasonable level of spelling to help their overall literacy. But it is perhaps surprising that many adults have extremely poor spelling and struggle with common words such as embarrass,occasion and restaurant.
6. Children’s difficulty in learning spelling lies in the fact that.
A. they don't know how to read
B. the rules are difficult to master
C. many words are long and complex
D. the letters don't match speech sounds
7. Students looking to enter college need to .
A. work hard to get good grades
B. have job application experiences
C. reach a high standard of speaking
D. submit a correctly-spelled application
8. The underlined word “decent” in Paragraph 3 can best be replaced by.
A. quick B. good-quality
C. recent D. well-meaning
9. We may conclude from Paragraph 4 that .
A. the use of text messaging leads to good spelling
B. “chatspeak” helps children develop their literacy
C. the use of technology has caused increasing concern
D. common use of abbreviations shows children's literacy level
10. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Why is learning to spell important?
B. Why do many children have poor spelling?
C. When should children start to learn spelling?
D. How should children develop their spelling skills?
