阅读理解     Many animal and plant species have become extinct and many more are in critical danger. Finding
ways to protect the earth"s wildlife and conserve the natural world they inhabit (居住) is now more important than ever.
     Dodo
     The Dodo is a classic example of how human caused damage to the earth"s biology. The flightless
Dodo was native to the Island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. It lived off fruit fallen from the island"s
trees and lived unthreatened until humans arrived in 1505. The easily controlled bird became a source of
food for sailors and was attacked by animals introduced to the island by humans such as pigs, monkeys
and rats. The population of Dodos rapidly decreased and the last one was killed in 1681.
     Rhinos
     The Rhino (犀牛) horn is a highly prized item for Asian medicine. This has led to the animal being
hunted in its natural habitat.Once widespread in Africa and Eurasia, most Rhinos now live in protected
natural parks and reserves (保护区). Their numbers have rapidly decreased in the last 50 years, and the
animals remain under constant threat from poachers(偷猎者).
     The Giant Panda
     The future of the World Wildlife Fund"s symbolis far from certain.As few as 1,000 remain in the wild.
The Chinese government has set up 33 panda reserves  to  protect  these  beautiful animals  and  made
poaching  them punishable with 20 years in prison. However, the panda"s distinct black and white
patched coat fetches a high price on the black market and determined poachers still pose (造成) one of
the most serious threats to the animals continued existence.
     Whales
     The International Whaling Commission is fighting to ensure the survival of the whale species. Despite
the fact that one-third the world"s oceans  have  been  declared  whale sanctuaries (保护区),7 out of 13
whale species remain endangered. Hunted for their rich supply of oil, their numbers have decreased to
just 300. Collisions with ships, poisonous pollution and being caught in fishing nets are other major causes of whale deaths.
     Tigers
     The last 100 years has seen a 95% reduction in the numbers of remaining tigers to between 5,000 and 7,000 and the Bali, Javan, and Caspian tigers are already extinct. The South China tiger is precariously
close to disappearing, with only 20 to 30 still alive. Like the Rhino horn, tigers" bones and organs are
sought after for traditional Chinese medicines. These items are traded illegally along with tiger skins.1. It implies that________. A. the Dodo lacked the ability to protect itself from other animals
B. Sailors to the Island of Mauritius lived mainly on the Dodo
C. the Dodo used to be a strong animal that liked fighting
D. the Dodo, pigs, monkeys and rats were the natives to the Island of Mauritius 2. Which group of the following animals has already ceased to exist according to the text? A. The Dodo, Rhino and Giant Panda.
B. The Rhino, Whale and the South China tiger.
C. The Rhino, Panda, Whale and Tiger.
D. The Dodo and the Bali, Javan, and Caspian tigers. 3. ________can serve as a cure for certain diseases.A. The whale"s rich oil
B. The panda"s black and white patched coat
C. The Rhino horn and tigers" bones and organs
D. The Dodo"s delicious meat 4. Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. The number of South China tigers has reached crisis point.
B. Many animals are threatened with extinction as a result of human activity.
C. People hunt for the endangered animals for high profit.
D. The whale is the representing mark for the World Wildlife Fund.5. Which of the following is mentioned in all the descriptions of those wild animals?A. The way of their life.
B. The reason for their extinction or being in danger.

阅读理解     The gray-haired lady can"t wait to leave the building to search for her dad .Unless watched ,she
will walk in the streets in an effort to find her father ,who died 30years ago.
     Not all cases of Alzheimer"s disease look like this ,but Alzheimer"s is a serious disease that is said
to be the fourth or fifth leading cause of death for people over age 75.
      It is said that about three percent of the U.S. population over age 65 have Alzheimer"s .In the
early stages ,people may exhibit short term memory loss. Some may experience changes in personality ,
easy to be angry .As the disease progresses ,patients might lose the ability to move and may be unable
to speak or move at all. This progressive disease generally lasts 8 to 10 years before death occurs.
     While no one is certain what causes these changes in the brain"s nerve fibers (神经纤维),their effect
is certain .Alzheimer"s destroys not only the patients ,but also spouses(配偶),friends and families.
     What should you do if you notice progressive memory loss in yourself or a loved one? Have the
person examined by a doctor who is a specialist in the treatment of Alzheimer"s disease.
     Though many reasons other than Alzheimer"s disease may cause memory loss ,its early diagnosis(诊
断)and treatment may delay some of the most serious effects.
     What feeling will you likely experience should a loved one suffer from Alzheimer" s disease? A person will often go through the various stages of sadness, shock, anger, and so on. If the spouse develops the
disease, you may experience hurt and disappointment when he or she doesn"t remember you are married.
    Life for the Alzheimer"s patients and their loved ones will never be the same as the disease progresses ,bringing a deep sorrow ,loss and even anger towards God .No matter what feelings are present ,facing
them honestly will serve one better than burying them.1. What can be inferred from the passage about the gray-haired day?A. She has been living with her father.

阅读理解.     Many animals recognize their food because they see it. So do humans. When you see
an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. You can also
use other senses when you choose your food. You may like it because it smells good or
because it tastes good. You may dislike some types of food because they do not look,
smell or taste very nice. Different animals use different senses to find and choose their food.
A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one
sense.
     Although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating
only one type. The giant panda eats only one particular type of bamboo(竹子). Other animals
eat only one type of food even when given the choice. A kind of white butterfly will stay on
the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden.
However, most animals have a more varied diet(多样化饮食). The bear eats fruits and
fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The diet of these animals will be different
depending on the season.
     Humans have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because
it is good for us. In countries such as France and Britain, people eat foods with too much
sugar. This makes them overweight, which is bad for their health. Eating too much red meat
and animal products, such as butter, can also be bad for the health. Choosing the right food,
therefore, has become an area of study in modern life. 1. We can infer from the text that humans and animals _________.A. depend on one sense in choosing food
B.are not satisfied with their food
C. choose food in similar ways
D. eat entirely different food2. Which of the following eats only one type of food?______.A. The white butterfly.
B. The small bird.
C. The bear.
D. The fox. 3. Certain animals change their choice of food when ___________.A. the season changes
B. the food color changes
C. they move to different places
D. they are attracted by different smells4. We can learn from the last paragraph that __________. A. food is chosen for a good reason
B. French and British food is good
C. some people have few choices of food
D. some people care little about healthy diet

阅读理解.     Psychology(心理学)tells us that many people hate to take risks. But it is good for us
to take risks, especially (尤其)when the risk is to achieve a desired result. In that way, we
become stronger and braver.
     Our human nature should be to take risks, but some people just sit and wish they didn"t
have the fear(恐惧)to move on. This is because of one or two failures in their lives. Please
step out and don"t let the past hold you back from living life to the fullest. Move forward
and move on!
     In studying the psychology of taking risks, we find that human nature provides(提供)
us with the desire (渴望)to experiment and take chances.
     Risk taking is a great benefit(好处)that allowed our ancestors(祖先) to become
stronger and stronger day by day. By taking risks they fought off enemies and discovered
new territories(领土). This attitude has become a part of our modern culture. Riding a
roller coaster is a common risk taking activity that even the average person seems to enjoy
although they have the understanding that it is dangerous. This psychological and
biological (生物学上的) connection (联系)creates an interesting connection between
what is unsafe and what humans enjoy.
     Getting in a car each day is a risk. Getting out of bed is a risk. There is such thing as
perfect safety. We need to take risks so that we can complete (finish) many things.
Astronauts take risks when they get inside a rocket; however, the things they achieve are
great. Businessmen take a risk when they buy parts of a company. However, without
doing that, they could not make more money.
     We need to take risks so that we can gain something. It is impossible to move forward
in life, earn money, enjoy a relationship, play a sport, or do anything else without taking a
risk. It is all part of the game. It"s one of the most important parts of life.1.Some people don"t want to take risks, mainly (主要)because ___________.A. they are too lazy to move on
B. they feel pleased with the present life.
C. they have experienced some failures before
D. they show little interest in the strange world outside2. What does the underlined part "This attitude" in Paragraph 4 mean?______.A. Taking risks
B. Fighting off enemies
C. Discovering new territories
D. Becoming stronger and stronger3. What can we infer from the passage?______.A. Daily life is full of risks
B. The safest place has the greatest risk
C. People should take risks when they are young
D. We can always achieve our goals by taking risks4. What would be the title for the passage?_______.A. Taking risks is easier said than done
B. On risks taken by ancestors
C. Live our life to the fullest(充分地)
D. No risk, no gain.

阅读理解。     After crying a river of tears,having too much drink the night before,or spending little time for
sleep,you may find yourself with red swollen eyes. Although you can cover your eye bags with
a cool pair of sunglasses,you still have to deal with your eye problem when you have to remove
them. What"s more,bags under the eyes are usually accompanied by other problems such as dark
circles or extreme redness.
     Swollen eyes usually last for hours or a couple of days. If you are not going anywhere,it is
actually good for you to just let nature determine when your swollen eyes are coming back to
normal. However,if you have an important meeting,a date,or you are going to attend a special
occasion,having eye bag can really be annoying. Here are some tricks on how you can recover
your eyes from being swollen.
     Some people have more chance to have eye bags,while others don"t. If you are one of the
individuals who often have swollen eyes,then you should stay away from things that are causing
your eyes to swell.
     If you have an important date,you should remember to sleep well the night before. Also,make
sure that you are not wild with alcohol,which may be responsible for the phenomenon. Getting
easy with salty foods may also be a good idea because like alcohol,too much salt can also make
you keep much water.
     If you were not able to prevent your eyes from becoming swollen,then do not be depressed.
here are plenty of things you can do,such as performing eye massage to help reduce the possibility.
     Using your ring finger,simply massage your eye area in circular motion,starting from your nasal
sinuses(鼻窦)then to the cheeks. Make sure that you slightly push the skin upwards so as not to
cause wrinkles. Repeat the massage for about five times on each eye. Gently massaging the area
will help get rid of pooled water faster.
     Placing a cool eye mask (choose the one without holes for more coverage)on your eyes for
10 to 15 minutes will help comfort your eyes. Moreover,your blood vessels (血管)will shrink or
tighten due to the cold temperature. This will help remove water beneath the skin under your eyes.
If you do not have a plastic eye mask,you can use pieces of cold melon or used teabags.
     If you have swollen eyes,it would be best for you to drink plenty of cold water or other cold
drink. As mentioned earlier,the cool temperature encourages blood vessels to shrink,which will
help in promoting better water loss. Basically,the bags under your eyes are simply water or fluid
that was not properly removed out of your system.
     If you still have eye bags even after you performed the tricks above,then you need to skip
eyeliner for the day. This makeup is used to emphasize the shape of the eyes so if you have swollen
eyes,the eyeliner will only highlight the shortcoming.
