6.
For:Doug Smith,Director of wolf recovery,Yellowstone National Park
In the world today there is so much we are losing; more and more species disappear from the earth every year.The time has come to put something back,to restore(恢复)to treat some of the old wounds enforced on nature over the years.
Wolves are animals killing and eating other animals in North America.They play an important role in keeping the continent healthy.Most places don't have enough wild country to make their restoration possible,which means it's even more important to restore wolves where conditions are right,places like Yellowstone,which has both a high level of wildness,as well as abundant creatures that wolves hunt and eat for living.
Some who oppose wolf restoration have a human centered point of view that the earth is here for humans,we can use it whenever we want and for whatever purpose.But wolves offer us a chance to live another way-a way to learn to live with other life forms.
Against:Larry Bourret,Vice President,Wyoming Farm Bureau
What does wolf introduction to Yellowstone mean?To the average citizen it probably just means introducing wolves to Yellowstone.There would be no unfavorable effects because few people live near Yellowstone.
But to farmers it means introducing wolves,which wander over vast areas-in and out of the park-onto their farms.Wolves eat meat-as in the cattle,sheep that keep farmers in business.Introduction apparently also means lawsuits by environmental groups attempting to remove livestock(家畜,牲畜) from federal lands.To farmers,who own private lands in the same area,it means the possibility of ?nancial ruin.To farmers it is a form of land use restrictions.To farmers introducing wolves means taking away the farmers'livelihoods without just compensation.Why do people not want a nuclear power plant built in their backyard?For the same reason farmers do not want wolves introduced into their backyard.
60.What are the two passages mainly about?C
A.How to keep the balance of nature.
B.How to increase the number of wolves.
C.Whether to introduce wolves to Yellowstone.
D.Whether to remove livestock away from federal lands.
61.According to the passage Doug Smith isC.
A.a private land owner
B.an enthusiastic hunter
C.a wildlife conservationist
D.a national park administrator
62.What are the farmers concerned about?B
A.Being forced to leave their homes.
B.Suffering heavy financial loss.
C.Having to sell their farmland.
D.Being controlled by wolves.
63.Why does Larry Bourret mention"nuclear power plant"?B
A.To summarize his opinion.
B.To make his view persuasive.
C.To tell the danger of nuclear power plant.
D.To introduce the background of wolf recovery.

11.The economic growth that many nations in Asia and increasingly Africa have experienced over the past couple of decades has transformed hundreds of millions of lives-almost entirely for the better.But there's a byproduct to that growth,one that's evident-or sometimes less than evident-in the smoggy,smelly skies above cities like Beijing,New Delhi and Jakarta.Thanks to new cars and power plants,air pollution is bad and getting worse in much of the world,and it's taking a major toll (伤亡人数,代价) on global health.
How big?According to a new analysis published in the Lancet,more than 3.2 million people suffered deaths from air pollution in 2010,the largest number on record.That's up from 800,000 in 2000.And it's a regional problem:65% of those deaths occurred in Asia,where the air is choked by diesel soot (内燃发动机烟雾) from cars and trucks,as well as the song from power plants and the dust from endless urban construction.In East Asia and China,1.2 million people died,as well as another 712,000 in South Asia,including India.For the first time ever,air pollution is on the world's top-10 list of killers,and it's moving up the ranks faster than any other factor.
So how can air pollution be so damaging?It is the very finest soot-so small that it roots deep within the lungs and from the enters the bloodstream-that contributes to most of the public-health toll of air pollution including death.Diesel soot,which can also cause cancer,is a major problem because it is concentrated in cities along transportation zones affecting overpopulated areas.It is thought to contribute to half the deaths from air pollution in urban centers.Fro example,1 in 6 people in the U.S.live near a diesel-pollution hot spot like a rail yard,port terminal or freeway.
We also know that air pollution may be linked to other non-deadly diseases.Fortunately in the U.S.and other developed nations,urban air is for the most part cleaner than it was 30 or 40 years ago,thanks to regulations and new technologies like the catalytic converters (催化式排气净化器) that reduce automobile emissions.Govemments are also pushing to make air cleaner-see the White House's move last week to further tighten soot standards.It's not perfect,but we've had much more success dealing with air pollution than climate change.
Will developing nations like India eventually catch up?Hopefully-though the problem may get worse before it gets better.The good news is that it doesn't take a major technological advance to improve urban air.Switching from diesel fuel to unleaded (无铅燃油) helps,as do newer and cleaner cars which are less likely to send out pollutants.Power plants-even ones that burn mineral fuels like coal-can be fitted with pollution-control equipment that,at a price,will greatly reduce smog and other pollutants.
But the best solutions may involve urban design.In the Guardian,John Vidal notes that Delhi now has 200 cars per 1,000 people,far more than much richer Asian cities like Hong Kong and Singapore.Developing cities will almost certainly see an increase in care ownership as residents become wealthier-and that doesn't have to mean deadly air pollution.Higher incomes should also lead to tougher environmental regulations,witch is exactly what happened in the West.We can only hope it happens before the death toll from bad air gets even higher.
41.What tends to give rise to the highest death toll according to the passage?D
A.The lack of tight environmental protection standards.
B.The increasing numbers of the diesel cars and trucks.
C.The frighteningly high death rate from deadly cancer.
D.The world's serious air pollution such as soot and dust.
42.The"byproduct"(Paragraph 1)most probably refers toA
A.consequence      B.solution         C.reform           D.design
43.The basic reason why so many people die from air pollution is thatC
A.the diesel soot is too small to be seen
B.the diesel soot is much too poisonous to breathe
C.the diesel soot roots in lungs and gets into blood
D.the diesel soot can also contribute to deadly cancer
44.According to the passage,the writer actually wants to convince the readers thatD   
A.the global economic growth is mainly to blame for air pollution and climate change
B.the developing countries are repeating the same mistakes as the developed ones made
C.the ecological situation and air pollution in India are becoming worse and worse
D.the unbeatable air is increasingly becoming a major killer throughout the world 
45.By describing urban design as"the best solution"in the last paragraph,the writer means thatB
A.the making of tougher environmental regulations alone is of little use
B.more sever regulations should be made to handle air pollution
C.the urban construction in western developed countries is the best choice
D.the pace of development has to be slowed down to reduce air pollution.

18.John Wesley Powell(1834-1902)Was a famous explorer of the American West.When he Was young,his mother put him under the guidance of George Crookham,a self-taught scientist,from whom he received a wide,but informal,education.Young John learned many things about the natural sciences.But his father preferred him to study religion.The argument continued for three years.Then John decided to leave home to seek further education.He soon discovered that he knew more about science than any teacher he met.He realized that the only good scientific education in the country came from colleges in the east,like Harvard and Yale.But he Was too poor to go to them,SO he got work as a school teacher in Illinois.Whenever possible,he went on scientific trips of his own.  
In 1861,civil war broke out in the United States.John joined the Union forces of the North.At the battle of Shiloh Powell lost his right arm.Despite his disability,he began his famous exploration of the Colorado River on May 24 1869.
It Was one of the greatest trips of discovery in the history of America.Never before had any white men traveled to that area.The trip Was far more dangerous than expected.The rivers were filled with rocky areas and waterfalls.Sometimes,the boats overturned or broke into pieces against big rocks.All along the way,Powell measured distances,temperatures,heights,depths and currents.He examined soils,rocks and plant life.Powell'S explorations led to the creation of US Geological Survey,which became responsible for all mapping and scientific programs of American lands.
Powell's scientific studies of western lands shaped his ideas of how those lands should be used.He suggested programs to control both crop farming and cattle raising.He Was especially concerned about water supplies.Many of his ideas were rejected at first and were not signed into law until years after his death because they were far ahead of his time.
66.Who do you think had a major influence on John Wesley Powell'S life?B
A.His mother.   
B.George Crookham.

A.The great discovery Powell made for America.
B.The difficulties and importance of Powell's exploration.
C.The way Powell carried out his great exploration.
D.The cause of the creation of US Geological Survey.

5.On a recent trip to California,I stopped by Natural Bridges,where the monarch butterflies overwinter.Many years ago,I livedclose enough to it that I could walk there regularly and study their gatherings-the most memorable experiences when living in California,This visit,however,turned out to be disappointing.Though the way to the protected monarch garden looked just as I remembered it,I spotted only a few butterflies there.So I had to drive about a mile south to Lighthouse Field a more open area visited by large numbers of bikers,dog walkers and tourists.Many monarehs-at least several hundred-gathered in a small forest of pines there.Why had they moved to this less hospitable habitat-John Dayton,a biologist from San Jose provided an answer.During the 1990s,a deadly disease killed off most large pines sheltering the monarch habitats at Natural Bridges,forcing monarchs to seek shelter elsewhere.Still,since the mid-1990s,the number of overwintering monarchs in California has declined by nearly 90 percent.Butterfly populations at Santa Paula  alone,for example,have dropped from about 120,000 to less than 1,000-the lowest figure in two decades.
In California,coastal development has reduced the area suitable for overwintering monarchs. Illegal logging,poorly regulated tourism and water withdrawals near the butterfly habitais are also  endangering the butterflies.
Throughout the butterflies'North American range,declines in milkweed plants-which monarchs need to reproduce-are also knocking down the insect's numbers.Chemicals are widely applied,wiping out the milkweed once growing in the agricultural land.
Climate change may worsen the monarchs'situation.As atmospheric levels of CO2 continue to rise,milkweeds are likely to produce fewer toxic compounds(有毒化合物) that protect both butterflies and caterpillars (幼虫) from their enemies.Milkweed leaves also may get tougher. Caterpillars will have a harder time chewing the leaves.
66.Why did the author feel disappointed during his revisit to Natural Bridges?C
A.Because it had been overpopulated with Monarchs.
B.Because the monarch's living habit was changed a lot.
C.Because fewer monarch butterflies overwintered there.
D.Because the people there were not so hospitable as before.
67.Where did the author find those monarchs moved?A
A.Natural Bridges                  B.Lighthouse Field                  
C.San Jose                         D.Santa Paula
68.What caused a sharp decline of overwintering monarchs according to Para 3?A
A.The loss of large pines.        B.A disease of monarchs.
C.Water pollution.                D.Too many caterpillars.
69.According to the passage,the decline of the milkweeds is connected withD.
A.coastal development              B.illegal logging
C.poorly regulated tourism        D.the abuse of chemicals
70.Which diagram shows correctly how the passage is developed?(P=paragraph)D
