　　Up to 45 rare species of Australian animals are in danger of becoming extinct within 20 years, scientists warned in a report. But hope is not lost! According to the report, the species can be saved if immediate action is taken to control their natural predators (天敵) and other threats.

　　The threatened animals can be found in the faraway Kimberley region of northwestern Australia. The region is similar in square miles to California. Thirty percent of the endangered species are unique to the region, while others have already disappeared in other parts of Australia.

　　Dr. Tara Martin, a research scientist said in the report, ?A large extinction event is happening in Australia. The north has really been the last stronghold (主要棲息地) for many species of birds and mammals and reptiles. The Kimberley is really their last chance on earth.”

　　Many of the species are under threat because they are hunted by wild cats. These cats kill around 500 000 native animals in the Kimberley region every day.

　　The species face another threat, too. Their native habitat is also being destroyed by wildfires and by wild donkeys and goats that compete for food and water. Humans introduced cats, donkeys and goats to Australia to be farm animals or pets. However, their populations have exploded in the region because they have few natural predators.

　　The report calls for $ 95 million to immediately start protection programs. The report also suggests reducing wild donkey and goat populations in the region, building fences, fighting wildfires and educating the community about how to help the endangered species.

　　Richard Hobbs, an ecologist at the University of Western Australia, says the costs are worthwhile because the measures will not be too difficult to carry out.

　　文章大意：本文是一篇調查報告。在澳大利亞有多達45種稀有動物在接下來的二十年里將會滅絕。報告主要講述了這些物種所面臨的危險并提出了保護它們應該采取的一些措施。

　　1．Which of the following should be done to protect the rare species of Australian animals?

　　A．Providing new habitat for them.

　　B．Supplying more food and water to them.

　　C．Getting rid of the dangers to them.

　　D．Leading them to the north of Australia for a better life.

　　答案：C　細節理解題。根據第一段最后一句中“the species can be saved... to control their natural predators (天敵) and other treats”可知，我們人類應當立即幫助這些珍稀物種去除威脅它們生存的因素。故C項正確。

　　2．Paragraphs 23 mainly tell us ________.

　　A．where the threatened animals can be found

　　B．how worrying the situation of the rare animals is

　　C．the Kimberley is the home of many rare species

　　D．the Kimberley is a safe place for animals to live

　　答案：B　段落大意題。根據第二段最后一句“... while others have already disappeared in other parts of Australia.”和第三段最后一句“The Kimberley is really their last chance on earth.”可知，文章此處告訴我們稀有動物的處境是多么危險。故B項正確。

　　3．The article may appear in a magazine on ________.

　　A．animals

　　B．geography

　　C．chemistry

　　D．history

　　答案：A　推理判斷題。通讀全文可知，本文主要講述了一些地方動物的危險處境，所以最有可能出現在雜志中的動物欄中。故A項正確。

　　B

　　(2024·河南六市聯考)At an outdoor restaurant, a cockroach (蟑螂) flew in and landed on a woman. She started screaming out of fear; with a panic stricken face and trembling voice, she started jumping, with both her hands desperately trying to get rid of the cockroach. Her reaction was spreading, as everyone in her group also got into a panic. The woman finally managed to flick the cockroach away but it landed on a man in the group who continued the drama. In the relay of throwing, the cockroach next fell upon a waitress who had rushed to their rescue.

　　The waitress stood firm, calmed herself and observed the behavior of the cockroach on her blouse. When she was confident enough, she grabbed it and threw it out of the restaurant.

　　Sipping my coffee and watching the amusement, I started wondering: Was the cockroach responsible for their funny behavior? If so, then why was the waitress not disturbed? She handled the situation to near perfection, without panic.

　　It was not the cockroach, but the inability of the customers to handle the disturbance caused by the cockroach that disturbed them. I realized that it's not the shouting of my children or my boss or my wife that disturbs me, but my inability to handle the disturbances caused by their shouting.

　　It's not the traffic jams on the road that disturb me, but my inability to handle the disturbance caused by the traffic jams. More than the problem, it's my reaction to the problem that creates chaos in my life.

　　I understood. I should not react in life. I should always respond. The customers reacted, whereas the waitress responded. Reactions are always instinctive (本能的) while responses tend to be well thought out.

　　1.What happened in the outdoor restaurant?

　　A.A cockroach was found in a woman's food and then a man found the same problem.

　　B.A cockroach appearing in the restaurant caused a state of panic among the customers.

　　C.A cockroach rushed the waitress into apologizing to the customers.

　　D.A woman and a man were trying to rescue the waitress from the cockroach.

　　2.What's the meaning of the underlined word “chaos” in Paragraph 5?

　　A.Confusion.B.Success.

　　C.Poverty.

　　D.Harmony.

　　3.According to the passage, if you ran into a traffic jam, you might ________ in your car.

　　A.complain your delay

　　B.feel upset and annoyed

　　C.relax yourself by listening to music

　　D.expect someone to clear the road

　　4.What does the passage tell us?

　　A.Speak less, do more!

　　B.Actions speak louder than words!

　　C.Mind your manners while in a restaurant!

　　D.Don't react just from your feelings; respond positively!

　　1．解析：選B　細節理解題根據第一段中的“At an outdoor restaurant ... as everyone in her group also got into a panic.”可知出現在飯店里的蟑螂在一些顧客中引起了恐慌故答案選B解析：選A　詞義猜測題根據第五段第一句“It's not the traffic jams ... by the traffic jams.”可推知“chaos”與“disturbance”意思相近意為“混亂”故答案選A解析：選C　推理判斷題根據最后一段最后一句“Reactions are always instinctive (本能的) while responses tend to be well thought out.”可知反應總是出自本能而對策往往是經過深思熟慮的因此遇到交通堵塞時在車里聽音樂是一種對策故答案選C解析：選D　主旨大意題根據最后一段中的“I should not react in life. I should always respond.”可知作者寫這篇文章是想告誡人們遇到困難時要積極冷靜應對而不是只做些本能的反應故答案選DVery old people do raise moral problems for almost everyone who comes in contact with them. Their values—this can’t be repeated too often—are not necessarily our values. Physical comfort, cleanness and order are not necessarily the most important things. The social services from time to time find themselves faced with a flat with decaying food covered by small worms, and an old person lying alone in bed, taking no notice of the worms. But is it interfering(干涉) with personal freedom to insist that they go to live with some of their relatives so that they might be taken better care of? Some social workers, the ones who clear up the worms, think we are in danger of carrying this concept of personal freedom to the point where serious risks are being taken with the health and safety of the old.

　　Indeed, the old can be easily hurt or harmed. The body is like a car, it needs more mechanical maintenance(機械維修，保養) as it gets older. You can carry this comparison right through to the provision of spare parts. But never forget that such operations are painful experiences, however good the results will be. And at what point should you stop to treat the old body? Is it morally right to try to push off death by seeking the development of drugs to excite the forgetful old mind and to activate the old body, knowing that it is designed to die? You can’t ask doctors or scientists to decide, because so long as they can see the technical opportunities, they will feel bound to give them a try, on the principle that while there’s life, there’s hope.

　　When you talk to the old people, however, you are forced to the conclusion that whether age is happy or unpleasant depends less on money or on health than it does on your ability to have fun.

　　1. What does the passage mainly tell us?

　　A. The values are different between the old and the young.

　　B. The moral problems raised by old people.

　　C. The personal freedom for the old.

　　D. Old people’s viewpoint on life.

　　2. We can know from the first paragraph that________.

　　A. Very old people would like to live alone to have more personal freedom.

　　B. Very old people are able to keep their room clean.

　　C. Very old people like to live with their children.

　　D. Social services have nothing to do with very old people.

　　3. According to the author, which of the following is right?

　　A. The older a person, the more care he needs.

　　B. Too much emphasis has been put on old people’s values.

　　C. The human body can’t be compared to a car.

　　D. It is easy to provide spare parts for old people.

　　4.The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to “________”.

　　A. their money or their health

　　B. the conclusion you come to

　　C. your talk to the old people

　　D. whether age is happy or unpleasant

　　Ⅱ.任務型閱讀

　　The attraction of television is undeniable when it comes to kids.

　　1.________ Here are guidelines we created to help us decide what's appropriate for our family：

　　Monitor television time. Choosing good shows isn't a big issue if you're not watching a lot of television, so really the best solution to finding appropriate television is saying, “Go play.”

　　2.________

　　Don't trust network ratings. A kid-approved stamp given by a television network is a general guide that doesn't take into account your parenting style and the things your family feels are important. 3.________ There are plenty of adult cartoon shows on television now, many with highly inappropriate topics.

　　4.________ The bottom line is, I want to know what my kids are watching, and if the TV is on my time in our home, I want to first approve of the show ahead of time, and second to watch it with my kids so that I'm aware of anything they might be seeing that needs intervention (干涉).

　　Talk about the show with your kids. As kids get older, we realize that we can't shelter them from every single person/show/behavior that doesn't fit exactly with our values. They're going to hear a swear word from time to time — and might walk into the room while the characters in the romantic comedy we're watching are kissing.

　　5.________

　　A.If it doesn't feel good, turn it off.

　　B.And be aware of cartoons!

　　C.We can talk about what we see, though, using story-lines to teach lessons when possible.

　　D.The standard for what our kids can watch might be difficult to set.

　　E.But how do you choose which shows are appropriate for the younger set?

　　F.Watch TV with them.

　　G.Still, a little bit of television doesn't hurt and can be fun.
