      Over 30% of the natural world has been seriously destroyed by humans over the last 30 years. This is because the number of people living on Earth is nearly six billion. All of these people need food,space and energy. As a result,lots of Earth’s natural resources will be used up. When we destroy our earth to get natural resources such as wood or oil,animals often lose their living space. They cannot have enough food,and they will get hurt or die.

      The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) is an international charity. It tries to prevent humans from destroying more of nature than is necessary. For example? in China WWF is working with the local government to reconnect some small lakes in Anhui Province to the Yangtze River and to create (仓J 造) more protected areas so that China’s natural beauty will not be lost in the future. WWF works in more than 50 countries,saving rainforests and stopping hunters from killing rare animals and protecting traditional ways of life in areas where they are in danger of being lost. WWF’s main goal is to encourage development that does not harm the environment and the animals that live in it. Even though the charity is known all over the world,and a lot of people support the goals of WWF,not so many donate money often. This makes it difficult for the charity to do all the things it wants to do.

() 54. Why has over 30% of the natural world been destroyed?

   A. Because hunters are killing rare animals.

   B. Because not enough people help WWF.

   C. Because WWF does not have enough money.

   D. Because there are so many people living on Earth.

   A. They have protected traditional ways of life.

   B. They have helped to protect China’s natural beauty.

   C. They have saved many rainforests in Anhui Province.

   D. They have built some bridges over the Yangtze River.

() 56. What is WWF^ main goal?

   A. To save rainforests.

   B. To stop hunters killing rare animals.

   C. To get more people to donate money.

   D. To protect the environment while developing.

B [2015 •山东济南高三一模]

Christmas in the United States is traditionally a time of gift-giving and family gatherings. But small towns across the country have their own traditions.

Middleburg, a small town in the state of Virginia, is known for its horses. For more than 50 years, Middleburg has organized a yearly Christmas parade(游行).Men and women ride horses through the woods and fields. They follow hunting dogs as they search for a wild fox. But first, these hunters ride in the yearly parade, wearing their bright red hunting clothes and hats.

John Hale,a citizen of Middleburg says many city people visit his town. "We have a lot of people from an urban area that come to visit, but it incorporates a lot of the old tradi­tions. "The night-time hay ride is one such tradition. Small groups gather under the moonlight on an open wagon filled with hay. The passengers sing as farm horses pull the wagon slowly across the fields.

There are some newer traditions ， too. Trey Matheu works at the nearby Salamander Resort. He says a visit to Middleburg is a chance to slow down for a day. He says Mid­dleburg can be a calming, peaceful place without tension.

"Middleburg is an opportunity to take a step back, take a deep breath, and understand that even though life is moving on at a very fast pace, there's really an opportunity where you're allowed to step off for a little bit."

   Parade organizers say more than 13,000 people attend even in below-freezing weather. But if you ask,you will hear many different reasons why people come to watch the parade:

"I come here because I'm from a small town. I like how everybody comes together. "" I live right down that street; right there. And that's my dog."

 Middleburg looks its best at Christmas time. That may be why so many people return each year.

         You can tell a lot about people by looking at their hair 一 not just whether they brush,spray,or blow-dry. Scientists have found a way to use hair to figure out where a person is from and where that person has been. The fTnding could help solve crimes among other useful applications.

          Water is central to the new technique. The liquid makes up more than half an adult human's body weight. Our bodies break water down into hydrogen (氢) and oxygen. Atoms of these two elements end up in our tissues,fingernails,and hair.

           But not all Water is the same. Hydrogen and oxygen atoms can vary in how much they weigh. In the case of hydrogen,for example,there are three types according to their weights. Each type is called a hydrogen isotope (同位素) .And depending on where you live,tap water contains different isotopes.

            Can hair record this information? That's what James R. Ehleringer,an environmental chemist at the University of Utah,wondered. To find it out,he and his colleagues collected hair from hair stylists in 65 cities in 18  states across the United States. Even though people drink a lot of bottled water these days,the researchers have found that people's hair has the same isotopes as found in the local tap water. That's  probably because- people usually prepare their food with the local water.

            Authorities can now use the information to analyze hair samples from criminals,or crime victims and to narrow their search for clues. For example,one hair sample used in Ehleringer's study came from a.man who had moved from San Francisco to Salt Lake City. As his hair grew,it reflected his change in location.

5. What do we know about the hydrogen isotopes,according to Paragraph 3 ?

   A. They are classified by^«ize.

   B. Each type of them differs in weight.

   C. They can improve the quality of tap water.

   D. Some of them cannot combine with oxygen.

6. Why is it possible to know where people are from by analyzing their Hkir?

   A. People use the same bottled water.

   B. People wash their hair in different ways.

   C. People's hair is affected by the weather of the places they stay.

   D. People's hair indicates the type of water in the places they stay.

7. The last paragraph is mainly to show .

   A. how to recognize criminals

   B. how to collect hair samples

   C. the usefulness of hair analysis

   D. the process of Ehleringer's study

8. Where does this text probably come from?

   A. A lesson plan.       B. A news report.

   C. A physics textbook.  D. A tourist guidebook.

     Arx animal that is of great importance to the jOTlftieaifcem coast of Oman is the abalone,a shellfish that has become the center of the nation' s multi-million-dollar industry. Once,abalone shellfish were brought to the surface in the hope that their bodies had beautiful pearls. Today,the shellfish are caught for a' different reason —

restaurant menus!The fresh white shellfish has a pleasant taste and is the most highly valued product from Omani waters.

    Abalone live in shallow (浅的) sea waters. Young abalone live in small groups,holding on to the undersides of rocks,while the adults live in larger groups together in rocky cracks. They can only survive successfully in areas where cold,rich water rises from the sea bed. There,in the shallow,brightly lit conditions,the abalone shellfish live.

    The environmental requirements for cool water conditions are seldom met and,as a result,abalone fisheries worldwide are very restricted. Until recently,there was a three-year official order against abalone fishing in Oman and now fishing is only allowed from October 20 to November 15 each year.

       The coast of Dhofar in Oman is one of the friendly environments that support abalone populations. The southern coast of Oman experiences (季风) winds across the surface of the sea from April to September. As these winds blow across the surface,the rich cold water from the depths of the Arabian Sea can easily rise and move towards the coast.

     After the monsoon period,fishermen jump into the sea,reaching a depth of 10 meters. Groups of up to ten men search for abalone living on rocks and remove the shells using a knife,before coming up for air. A good fisherman searches for large adults and will get up to 600 abalone a day.

25. Why do Omani fishermen catch abalone nowa- nowadays?

   A. They are good pets.

   B. They are very delicious.

   C. There are pearls in their bodies.

   D. Their shells are beautiful and useful.

26. What do we know about abalone?

   A. They prefer the darkness.

   B. They live under the sea bed.

   C. They face bad rocky conditions.

   D. They need special environments.

27. What does the underlined word “restricted” in Paragraph 3 mean?

   A. Strange. B. Controlled.

   C. Unpopular. D. Underdeveloped.

28. What influence do monsoon winds have on abalone?

   A. They are helpful for abalone's survival.

   B. They carry abalone to the surface.

   C. They bring abalone to the coast.

   D. They help abalone to move.
