21、   As far back as the age of dinosaurs millions of years ago, turtles(海龟) wandered around the Earth. Even nowadays, it is generally assumed that turtles are the world's steadiest creature.

However, a new research shows 61 percent of the 356 species of turtles are already threatened or no longer exist. The destruction of their homes, disease, climate change and other reasons have caused their population to drop sharply. In a new study published in the journal BioScience, a team of scientists from various institutions claims that turtles are one of the most threatened among the major vertebrate(脊椎动物) groups.

This could, the authors say, have serious consequences for the ecology. Turtles contribute to the health of many environments, including desert, wetland, freshwater and marine ecosystems, and the decline may lead to bad effects on other species, including humans, they explain. Whit Gibbons, seruor author and professor at the Utuversity of Georgia's Savannah River Ecology Laboratory, says in a statement that the intention of the study is to inform people about the vital ecological roles of turtles.

One of the important qualities of turtles is how diverse they are when it comes to food. This allows them to have a major impact on food webs of their homes all over the world. In some areas, the density(密度) of the turtle population makes them an important part of the ecosystem. With their gathering, other species that feed on them and their eggs are sure to have a large pool of food.

For plants, turtles are also extremely important as they distribute the seeds of many plant species. When they eat some seeds are not destroyed by the digestive process and instead make their way out of the animals' body. Some turtles are the main dispersal(传播 ) agents of certain plants and their seeds.

These are only a few yet very vital roles that turtles play in the ecological landscape. Unfortunately, many species are in serious decline and in danger of disappearing completely.

【1】What does the new study aim to do?

A. To save the grand vertebrate groups on earth.   .

B. To wam people of turtles' terrible situation.

C. To make the importance of turtles' roles known.

D. To claim turtles may be related to dinosaurs.

【2】How might the disappearance of turtles influence certain plants?

A. Speed up these plants' disappearing.

B. Put an end to these plants' seeds spreading.

C. Allow more. seeds to grow into plants.

D. Give these plants no chance of survival. .

【3】Which of the following shows the structure of the text?

I:Introduction P:Point Sp: Sub-point(次要点 ) C:Conclusion

A.  B.

C.  D.

【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. Turtles Are Sure to Stop Existing.

B. The Ecology Will Change with Turtles.

C. Decline of Turtles Threatens the World.

D. Turtles' Dying Out Worldwide Matters a Lot.

22、   This is news on the hour, Ed Wilson reporting. The President and First Lady will visit Africa on a goodwill tour in May. They plan to visit eight African countries.

Reports from China say the Chinese want closer ties between China and the U. S. and Western Europe. A group of top Chinese scientists start their ten-nation tour next month.

23、Mandara seemed to know something big was about to happen. So she let out a yell, caught hold of her 2-year-old daughter Kibibi and climbed up into a tree. She lives at the National Zoo in Washington D.C..

And on Tuesday, August 23rd, witnesses said she seemed to sense the big earthquake that shook much of the East Coast before any humans knew what was going on. And she’s not the only one. In the moments before the quake, an orangutan (猩猩) let out a loud call and then climbed to the top of her shelter.

“It’s very different from their normal call,” said Brandie Smith, the zookeeper. “The lemurs (monkey like animals of Madagascar) will sound an alarm if they see or hear something highly unusual.”

But you can’t see or hear an earthquake 15 minutes before it happens, can you? Maybe you can——if you’re an animal.

“Animals can hear above and below our range of hearing,” said Brandie Smith. “That’s part of their special abilities. They’re more sensitive to the environment, which is how they survive.”

Primates weren’t the only animals that seemed to sense the quake before it happened. One of the elephants made a warning sound and a huge lizard (蜥蜴) ran quickly for cover. The flamingoes (a kind of birds) gathered before the quake and stayed together until the shaking stopped.

So what kind of vibrations (震动) were the animals picking up in the moments before the quake? Scientist Susan Hough said earthquakes produce two types of waves——a weak “P” wave and then a much stronger “S” wave. The “P” stands for “primary”. And the “S” stands for “secondary”. She thinks the “P” wave might be what sets the animals off.

Not all the animals behaved unusually before the quake. For example, Smith said the zoo’s giant pandas didn’t jump up until the shaking actually began. But many of the other animals seemed to know something was coming before it happened. “I’m not surprised at all,” Smith said.

【1】Why did Mandara act strangely one day?

A．Because it sensed something unusual would happen.

B．Because its daughter Kibibi was injured.

C．Because it heard an orangutan let out a loud call.

D．Because an earthquake had happened.

【2】According to Brandie Smith,_____________.

A．many animals hearing is sharp

B．earthquakes produce two types of waves

C．primates usually gather together before a quake

D．humans can also develop the ability to sense a quake

【3】Which animal seems unable to sense quake?

A．A giant panda.

B．A flamingo.

C．A lemur.

D．A lizard.

【4】What is the best title for the passage?

A．How animals survive a quake

B．How animals differ from humans

C．How animals behave before a quake

D．How animals protect their young in a quake

24、Four Wild Animal Species Were Endangered

Maybe you can still see them at the zoo. But that doesn’t mean they’re doing alright in the wild.

Tigers

All six tiger species are endangered, with Sumatran tigers and South Chin tigers at a seriously endangered status. The main reasons for their population decline are illegal hunting and destroyed habitats(栖息地), as humans clear forests to gather timber（木材）and build roadways. Only about 3890 tigers presently live in the wild.

Ground squirrels

That’s right, even squirrels are endangered, specifically the San Joaquin ground squirrel. Native to California, USA, these guys have been disappearing since 1979 on account of the construction and human development going through their habitat. Their total population is unknown, but it could be anywhere between 124000 and 413000.

Giraffes

The International Union for the Conservation of Nature recently put giraffes at a vulnerable(脆弱的) status, the level just before endangered. The giraffe population has declined 40 percent in the last 30 years, primarily due to loss of habitat and illegal hunting. Some giraffes are killed just for their tails, which are considered status symbols in Africa.

Asian elephants

The main threat to Asian elephants, one of the most intelligent animals, is their shrinking habitat. As the human population grows, people invade their land to build roads and railway tracks. Elephants in Myanmar are at an especially high risk for being captured and traded or used illegally in the tourist industry. Fewer than 50000 are left on the entire continent.

【1】What is the total population of tigers living in the wild?

A．Around 3890.

B．50000.

C．124000.

D．413000.

【2】Which of the following is considered one of the most intelligent animals?

A．Tigers.

B．Giraffes.

C．Ground squirrels.

D．Asian elephants.

【3】What is the common threat to the four wild animals?

A．Illegal hunting.

B．Disturbed habitat.

C．Developing tourism.

D．Unnecessary construction.

26、阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。

What makes a home? Love, sympathy and confidence. It is a place where kindly affections exist among all the members of the family. The parents take good care of their children, and the children are interested in the activities of their parents. Thus all of them are bound together by affection, and they find their home the happiest place in the world.

But for me, sometimes I can’t feel the love from my mother and can’t feel the warmth of the home Quarrels happen between us frequently.

“Bang!” The door caused a protest. “Never set foot in this house again!” shouted Mom. With tears welling up in my eyes, I rushed out of the house and ran along the street.

A young mother who held a child in her arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood: happy and harmonious.

But then I didn’t know whether it was because I had grown up or because Mom was getting old. We were just like two people coming from two different worlds. It felt like there was an iron door between us that could never be opened.

I wandered in the street, without a destination in my mind. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. After wandering aimlessly in the street for hours, I felt really hungry and wanted something to eat However. with no money in hand, I could do nothing but weep and sigh. A grandma, who was a snack seller at the roadside noticed me and said, “Little girl, hungry, huh? Here is a bowl of noodles for you. Take it and go home quickly. ”With grateful tears hanging in my eyes, I accepted the noodles and kept expressing my gratitude. “Thank you so much! I will appreciate it all my life!” The grandma said sincerely. “You don’t need to thank me. I am just a stranger who gave you a bowl of noodles, but your mother cooks for you all her life without any complaint. Have you ever said ‘Thank you’ to her?” Hearing this. I stood there, numb with shock.
