The number of giraffes is becoming smaller across Africa, according to the Giraffe Conservation Foundation. The total population has dropped by 40 percent in the last 15 years. Surprisingly, even scientists haven’t given much attention to giraffes. We are learning more about their ecology, but what we know is still way behind what we know about other species. “It’s a silent extinction,” said Dr. Julian Hennessy, a wildlife scientist. “The main reason for the smaller number of giraffes is their loss of living places,” said Hennessy, “as an increasing part of land is used for farming. But hunting also has a big influence.” You might wonder why hunters would focus on giraffes. First of all, once a giraffe is brought down, there is lots of meat with a small amount of effort. Besides, there is another thing encouraging the hunting. In Tanzania, Hennessy says, the latest word on the street is that eating giraffe meat could cure AIDS. Fresh giraffe heads and bones can be sold at prices of up to $140 per piece. Another widespread misconception about giraffes is that they are everywhere. Look at kids’ books which are full of giraffes. They are always in zoo collections. They can be seen easily, so you don't think we have to worry about them. But the truth is that they are in danger of extinction. There is a lack of right and true data. Hennessy and other researchers are now pulling together the data needed to improve the situation of the entire giraffe species and all nine subspecies（亞種）. The information will be used to change the giraffe's listing on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List, which now lists the species as of “least concern” but two subspecies as “endangered”. “It’s a lot of work to gather the necessary information,” Hennessy says. “And several other giraffe subspecies will be recommended for endangered listings next year or the year after.” He hopes that the world will finally start to take notice of how endangered these beloved animals have become. 1. By saying “It’s a silent extinction”, Hennessy tells us that ______.
A. giraffes are unpopular in Africa
B. the giraffe is always silent in daily life
C. the ecology of Africa needs more attention D. the extinction occurs without enough attention
2. What has caused the high price of giraffe meat in Tanzania? A. The country’s custom. B. The illegal international trade. C. The cost of hunting a giraffe.
D. The idea that it’s a cure for AIDS.
3. The misconception in Para. 3 can be corrected by ______.
A. preventing illegal hunting in Africa
B. rewriting kids’ books about giraffes
C. providing reliable data about giraffes D. spreading scientific knowledge of AIDS
4. The final purpose of Hennessy’s great effort is to ______.
A. collect more information about giraffes
B. raise public awareness of protecting giraffes C. prove giraffes will disappear in the next few years
D. work with the International Union for Conservation of Nature

“Did you hear what happened to Adam last Friday?” Lindsey whispers to Tori.
With her eyes shining, Tori brags, “You bet I did. Sean told me two days ago.” Who are Lindsey and Tori talking about? It just happens to be yours truly, Adam Freedman. I can tell you that what they are saying is (a) not nice and (b) not even true. Still, Lindsey and Tori aren't very different from most students here at Linton High School, including me. Many of our conversations are gossip(閒話). I have noticed three effects of gossip: it can hurt people, it can give gossipers a strange kind of satisfaction, and it can cause social pressures in a group. An important negative effect of gossip is that it can hurt the person being talked about. Usually, gossip spreads information about a topic — breakups, trouble at home, even dropping out — that a person would rather keep secret. The more embarrassing or shameful the secret is, the juicier the gossip it makes. Probably the worst type of gossip is the absolute lie. People often think of gossipers as harmless, but cruel lies can cause pain. If we know that gossip can be harmful, then why do so many of us do it? The answer lies in another effect of gossip: the satisfaction it gives us. Sharing the latest rumor（傳言）can make a person feel important because he or she knows something that others don't. Similarly, hearing the latest rumor can make a person feel like part of the “in group”. In other words, gossip is satisfying because it gives people a sense of belonging or even superiority（優越感）.
Gossip also can have a third effect: it strengthens unwritten, unspoken rules about how people should act. Professor David Wilson explains that gossip is important in policing behaviors in a group. Translated into high school terms, this means that if everybody you hang around with is laughing at what John wore or what Jane said, then you can bet that wearing or saying something similar will get you the same kind of negative attention. The do's and don'ts conveyed through gossip will never show up in any student handbook. The effects of gossip vary depending on the situation. The next time you feel the urge to spread the latest news, think about why you want to gossip and what effects your “juicy story” might have.
1. The author uses a conversation at the beginning of the passage to __________. A. introduce a topic
B. present an argument C. describe the characters D. clarify his writing purpose
2. An important negative effect of gossip is that it _________. A. breaks up relationships
B. embarrasses the listener C. spreads information around
D. causes unpleasant experiences
3. In the author’s opinion, many people like to gossip because it __________.
A. gives them a feeling of pleasure
B. helps them to make more friends
C. makes them better at telling stories D. enables them to meet important people
4. Professor David Wilson thinks that gossip can ________. A. provide students with written rules
B. help people watch their own behaviors
C. force schools to improve student handbooks
D. attract the police’s attention to group behaviors 5. What advice does the author give in the passage?
A. Never become a gossiper.
B. Stay away from gossipers.
C. Don’t let gossip turn into lies. D. Think twice before you gossip. 【答案】ADABD

【20xx.4浙江省部分聯誼學校高三聯考卷】
Do you ever wonder why trees begin to bud（發芽）earlier in some cities? Scientists finally found the answer but it’s not very pleasant. New science suggests a relationship between light pollution and the timing when trees produce buds, which signals the arrival of the spring season. Light pollution is defined by the Lighting Research Center as the unwanted consequence of outdoor lighting such as street lights. Excessive（過多的.）man-made light at night results in disturbed natural cycles, and also prevents the observation of stars and planets at night. But its effect on the environment goes beyond that. By studying some trees, researchers found out that trees that are more exposed to artificial lighting at night bud up to 7. 5 days earlier than those at the natural nighttime setting. And they found out that light had a more significant effect than temperature when the buds came out. The early budding may cause problems for insects, which feed on leaves, and the birds which then feed on them in turn. Professor Richard French-Constant, who helped lead the research, explained that more than the budding of trees, the study implies the danger to the balance of the ecosystem."At the moment, caterpillars are timed to hatch to make the most of the opportunities to feed on freshly budded leaves, and birds hatch in time to feed on the young caterpillar,” he said.
Migratory（遷徙的）birds are also negatively affected by light pollution. The glare might confuse them and make them lose their flying sense. The phenomenon might explain why some birds accidentally knock into buildings. Such results stress the need to pursue studies that aim to measure the effect of light pollution. If the issue were left to continue, it is estimated that by 2100, spring would begin almost a full month earlier than it does today. 1. What will happen if there is too much man-made light? A. People’s eyesight will be damaged. B. The ecosystem will likely lose its balance. C. No stars or planets may be observed at night.
D. Animals’ living habits may change suddenly.
2. How does the early budding affect insects or plants? A. It will cause the rising number of insects.
B. It could lead to trees growing fewer leaves.
C. It may result in some insects going hungry.
D. It might push insects to hatch more slowly.
3. What does the author suggest in the last paragraph? A. The effect of light pollution is destructive.
B. The spring of 2100 will become much longer.
C. Light pollution should be taken seriously.
D. A further study on light pollution is scheduled. 4. What is the suitable title for the passage?
A. Why spring comes earlier in some cities
B. Why light pollution needs to be studied
C. How trees’ early budding takes place
D. How much light is "too much"

Passage 2
Bees are responsible for about 30 percent of the world’s food supply. Our fruits and vegetables would not grow without bees. Many farmers use pesticides(殺蟲劑) to protect food plants from insects. Studies have shown that these chemicals are also hurting the bees and showing up in the world's honey supply. And researchers are wondering how that could affect us. A recent study found evidence of these pesticides in most of the world’s bees. David Goulson is a professor of biology at Britain's University of Sussex. He says the chemicals harm the ability of bees to find their way. “These chemicals attack the brain of the insects and they interfere（阻礙）with their ability to learn and to navigate, which is really important for a bee. If they get lost, then they're as good as dead.” Goulson says the problem seems to come from new genetically engineered seeds. He says some of the seeds are covered with pesticides. “So the idea is the farmer buys the seed, pre-coated with pesticide, he sows it in the ground, and the chemical is water soluble, it dissolves into the soil and the water in the soil, and then it's supposed to be sucked up by the plant, and it goes to all parts of the plant including, unfortunately, the nectar（花蜜）and the pollen（花粉）.” And that pollen ends up on the bees.
Swedish researchers found the chemicals in 75% of all the world's honey. They even found it on the French island of Tahiti, a place not known for industrial farming. Goulson says it is not just bees that are dying off. He says researchers are also seeing “big declines of farmland birds, butterflies and so on.”
1. Studies have found the following results except that ____________. A. pesticides are doing harm to the bees B. bees produce 30 percent of the world’s food supply
C. chemicals are found in 75% of all the world's honey D. chemicals are even found in the honey produced in Tahiti 2. Based on these findings, what may the researchers and the government probably do next? A. Forbid the sale of honey.
B. Provide much healthier food.
C. Limit the use of pesticides. D. Advocate industrial farming.
3. What's writer’s tone in presenting the findings of the studies?
A. Positive. B. Negative.
C. Objective. D. Indifferent

Global warming has slightly changed the taste and texture（結構）of Japanese apples over the last 40 years, although consumers may not realize it, according to a new research. A study published in Scientific Reports concluded that climate change was probably responsible for earlier apple tree blooms（開花）and warmer growing seasons in Japan, as well as softer and less acid apples. “The taste and texture of apples in the market are changing in the long run, even though consumers might not realize these slight changes,” wrote lead study author, Toshihiko Sugiura, a fruit tree researcher at Japan's National Agriculture and Food Research Organization.
Sugiura and his colleagues examined Fuji and Tsugaru apples raised in experimental growing stations in Nagano and Aomori from 1970 to 20xx. Growing practices, which include soil management, pruning（修剪）and hand pollination（授粉）were conducted along recommended guidelines, authors said.
Each year, researchers recorded temperature, rainfall, time of bloom, time of harvest and other environmental indicators. Apples were also evaluated for acidity, firmness and a problem called “water core”, which makes apples go brown when they are stored. During the study period, the average air temperature increased about 2 degrees Fahrenheit in the studied fruit gardens, according to researchers. Also, by the end of the study period, full bloom dates were occurring three to five days earlier in the year. By the end of the study, researchers noted that the apples had declined in acidity, firmness and water core rating. Acidity in fruit is associated with the sensation of sourness. Researchers said that the level of the changes was “not high”, but that they were significant. “If global warming continues to progress, the changes in the taste and texture of apples could be more noticeable as blooming dates become even earlier and temperatures increase during the process when the fruit becomes ripe,” the authors wrote. 1. According to the research, the rise in temperature has led Japanese apples to ____________. A. bloom earlier B. grow sourer C. get firmer D. ripen later 2. Which of the following is one of the growing practices? A. Analyzing the climate.
B. Timing the flower season.
C. Managing the soil. D. Examining the apple.
3. From the last paragraph, we can learn that____________. A. apples will lose popularity in the market
B. the growth cycle of apples will be lengthened C. customers haven't discovered the changes in the apple D. continuous global warming will make the changes more obvious 【答案】ACD

【20xx年6月浙江卷】
As cultural symbols go, the American car is quite young. The Model T Ford was built at the Piquette Plant in Michigan a century ago, with the first rolling off the assembly line（裝配線）on September 27, 1908. Only eleven cars were produced the next month. But eventually Henry Ford would build fifteen million of them. Modern America was born on the road, behind a wheel. The car shaped some of the most lasting aspects of American culture: the roadside diner, the billboard, the motel, even the hamburger. For most of the last century, the car represented what it meant to be American—going forward at high speed to find new worlds. The road novel, the road movie, these are the most typical American ideas, born of abundant petrol, cheap cars and a never-ending interstate highway system, the largest public works project in history. In 1928 Herbert Hoover imagined an America with “a chicken in every pot and a car in every garage.” Since then, this society has moved onward, never looking back, as the car transformed America from a farm-based society into an industrial power. The cars that drove the American Dream have helped to create a global ecological disaster. In America the demand for oil has grown by 22 percent since 1990. The problems of excessive（過度的）energy consumption, climate change and population growth have been described in a book by the American writer Thomas L. Friedman. He fears the worst, but hopes for the best. Friedman points out that the green economy（經濟）is a chance to keep American strength. “The ability to design, build and export green technologies for producing clean water, clean air and healthy and abundant food is going to be the currency of power in the new century.”
1. Why is hamburger mentioned in paragraph 2?
A. To explain Americans’ love for travelling by car. B. To show the influence of cars on American culture. C. To stress the popularity of fast food with Americans. D. To praise the effectiveness of America's road system. 2. What has the use of cars in America led to?
A. Decline of economy.
B. Environmental problems.
C. A shortage of oil supply.
D. A farm-based society.
3. What is Friedman’s attitude towards America’s future? A. Ambiguous. B. Doubtful.
C. Hopeful. D. Tolerant. BBC 【答案】
Passage 3
We lived in a very quiet neighborhood. One evening, I heard a loud crash in the street. Earlier, my wife had asked me to go to the store to get some soft drinks. It seemed like this would be a good time to let my teenage daughter Holly practice her driving, so I sent her to the store in my truck.
At dinner my son talked about how much he liked my truck. I enjoyed having it, but I said, “Guy, my heart is not set on that truck.I like it, but it is just metal and won't last forever. Never set your heart on anything that won't last.”
After hearing the loud noise, the whole family ran outside. My son shouted, “Dad! Dad, Holly crashed your truck.”
My heart sank and my mind was flooded with conflicting thoughts. Was anyone hurt? Who else was involved? As I ran to the door, I heard a voice in my heart say, “Here is a chance to show Holly what you really love. She’ll never forget it.”
The accident had occurred in my own driveway. Holly had crashed my truck into our other vehicle, the family van. In her inexperience, she had confused the brakes and the gas pedal (加速器). Holly was unhurt physically, but when I reached her, she was crying and saying, “Oh, Dad, I'm so sorry. I know how much you love this truck.” I held her in my arms as she cried. Later that week a friend stopped by and asked what had happened to my truck. I told her the whole story. Her eyes became wet and she said, “That happened to me when I was a girl. I borrowed my dad's car and ran into a tree trunk that had fallen across the road. I ruined the car. When I got home, my dad knocked me to the ground and began to kick me.”
Over 40 years later, she still felt the pain of that night. It was a deep wound on her soul. I remember how sad Holly was the night she crashed our truck, and how I comforted her. One day, when Holly thinks back on her life, I want her to know that I love her a thousand times more than any piece of possession. I repaired the van, but the dent（凹痕）in my truck is still there today. It reminds me every day of what really matters in my life.
1. Why did the author ask Holly to buy the drinks for him? A. He was unwilling to obey his wife. B. He hoped to teach Holly a life lesson.
C. He was busy talking with his son about the truck. D. He wanted to give Holly a chance to drive the truck.
2. How did the author feel when told about the crash?
A. Confused. B. Concerned.
C. Ashamed.
D. Annoyed.
3. Why did the author's friend cry?
A. She missed her dad very much.
B. She felt extremely sorry for Holly.
C. She thought of her painful experience.
D. She was moved by what the author had done.
4. What's the best title for the passage?
A. A Narrow Escape B. A Lesson in Life
C. A Valuable Truck D. A Painful Accident

For example, “Buddhist students” are those who study just the right amount—they don't cut class, but they don't burn the midnight oil, either. There are also “Buddhist parents”, who interfere little with their children's lives and let them develop however they like—the opposite of “helicopter parents”.
22. What can we infer from Paragraph 3?
A. Buddhist parents don't care for their children at all.

Technology activists are appealing to tech companies and their leaders to build a future in which the effect of machinery on humans is lessened. Robots now are doing more work than ever before. Lasers are being used to cut cloth at factories while drone aircraft water crops. So some workers have long feared that machines are coming to take away their jobs. Tim O’Reilly, the head of a technology advisory service, says it is important for people and machines to work together. He says most computer software depends on human beings to keep it operating. “It’s so important that we have to think about not using technology to replace people—but to augment them, to do something that was previously impossible,” O’Reilly said. He spoke last week at the conference in Ho Chi Minh City, in Vietnam, Asia. 26. We can probably find this passage in _____________.

In 1812, the year Charles Dickens was born, there were 66 novels published in Britain. People had been writing novels for a century—most experts date the first novel to Robinson Crusoe in 1719—but nobody wanted to do it professionally. The steam-powered printing press was still in its early stages; the literacyrate in （識字）England was under 50%. Many works of fiction appeared without the names of the authors, often with something like “By a lady.”Novels, for the most part, were looked upon as silly, immoral or just plain bad. In 1870, when Dickens died, the world mourned him as its first professional writer and publisher, famous and beloved, who had led an explosion in both the publication of novels and their readership and whose characters — from Oliver Twist to Tiny Tim— were held up as moral touchstones. Today Dickens' greatness is unchallenged. Removing him from the pantheonof English literature would （名人堂）make about as much sense as the Louvre selling off the Mona Lisa. How did Dickens get to the top? For all the feelings readers attach to stories, literature is a numbers game, and the test of time is extremely difficult to pass. Some 60,000 novels were published during the Victorian age, from 1837 to1901; today a casual reader might be able to name a half-dozen of them. It's partly true that Dickens' style of writing attracted audiences from all walks of life. It's partly that his writings rode a wave of social, political and scientific progress. But it's also that he rewrote the culture of literature and put himself at the center. No one will ever know what mix of talent, ambition, energy and luck made Dickens such a distinguished writer. But as the 200th anniversary of his birth approaches, it is possible — and important for our own culture—to understand how he made himself a lasting one.
