【題目】Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side. Most people know this joke. But recently, some people have been much more worried about how the grizzly bear and mountain lion can cross the road.

“ Millions of animals die each year on the U. S. roads, ” the Federal Highway Administration reports. In fact, only about 80 ocelots , an endangered wild cat, exist in the U. S. today. The main reason? Roadkill.

“Eco-passages" may help animals cross the road without being hit by cars. They are paths both over and under roads. “ These ecopassages can be extremely useful，so that wildlife can avoid road accidents ,” said Jodi Hilty of the Wildlife Protection Society.

But do animals actually use the eco-passages? The answer is yes. Paul Beier of Northern Arizona University found foot marks left by mountain lions on an eco-passage that went under a highway. This showed that the lions used the passage.

Builders of eco-passages try to make them look like a natural part of an area by planting trees on and around them. Animals seem to be catching on. Animals as different as salamanders (火蜥蜴)and grizzly bears are using the bridges and underpasses.

The next time you visit a park or drive through an area with a lot of wildlife, look around. You might see an animal over-pass ！

【1】The writer uses the example of "ocelots" to show that __________.

A. an increasing number of animals are killed in road accidents

【2】From the passage, we know an eco-passage is __________.

A. an underground path for cars

B. a fence built for the safety of the area

C. a path for animals to cross the road

D. a bridge for animals to get over a river

【3】When the writer says that animals seem "to be catching on" , he means __________.

A. animals begin to realize the danger on the road

B. animals begin to learn to use eco-passages

C. animals are crossing the road in groups

D. animals are becoming safer

【4】The writer asks visitors and drivers to look around when they are traveling because __________.

A. wild animals may cause danger

B. wild animals may jam the road

C. they may kill the animals

D. they may see wild animals on eco-passages

【5】This passage is written to __________.

A. protect the endangered animals

B. call on drivers to be careful when they see animals on the road

C. introduce a new way to help protect wild animals

D. tell us the main reason for the killing of animals in the U. S.

【答案】

【2】C

【3】B

【4】D

【5】C

【解析】

【1】 推理判斷題。考查論點(diǎn)與論據(jù)的關(guān)系，根據(jù)第三段，作者舉豹貓的例子是為了說明每年數(shù)百萬的動(dòng)物死在路上，故答案A是正確的。

【2】事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第四段的解釋可知，eco-passage指的是專門為動(dòng)物通過馬路而設(shè)立的通道，故答案選C。

【3】猜測(cè)詞義題。生態(tài)通道的建造者通過在通道上或四周植樹使得通道看上去像一個(gè)很自然的區(qū)域，接著下句說不少動(dòng)物使用了這種通道，故答案選B。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段可知，游客或司機(jī)在有野生動(dòng)物的區(qū)域的時(shí)候，環(huán)顧四周可能會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)通道上有野生動(dòng)物，故答案選D。

【5】主旨大意題。文章主要講述了建造生態(tài)通道保護(hù)野生動(dòng)物，因此主要是介紹了一種保護(hù)野生動(dòng)物的新方法，故答案選C。

【題目】Norm Pethrick, a 36-year-old man in Australia’s northern city Darwin, was praised on Thursday for jumping onto a crocodile’s back to save his wife Wendy at Litchfield National Park, a popular tourist spot southwest of Darwin, a local newspaper reported.

Ms Pethrick was standing on a river bank Wednesday afternoon when the saltwater crocodile lunged (撲), locking its jaws on both her legs as it tried to drag her underwater.

Norm Pethrick, who with his wife had been collecting water, immediately went to help her. He jumped onto the back, poked (戳) the eyes of the crocodile and finally got his wife free.

Ms Pethrick was later taken to Royal Darwin Hospital for a medical treatment. The doctors said she was suffering eight puncture wounds (傷口) in her right leg, a puncture wound in her left leg and a serious cut to one of her fingers.

“This could have been a fatal and tragic situation,” said the general manager of Royal Darwin Hospital (RDH), Dr Len Notaras, according to a local report.

He said Ms Pethrick was saved by her husband’s “quick and diligent actions”.

Dr Notaras also said she would remain in hospital for three to four days and have an operation to clean the wounds, which are easy to get infected because of bacteria (細(xì)菌) on the teeth of the crocodile.

【1】 This passage is most likely to be found in _____.

【題目】Whenever someone begins to talk to me about how horrible it is to eat meat and suggests that a nice piece of tofu would be just as good, I just smile and show them those nice pointy teeth we all have in the corners of our mouths. They are called canines (犬牙), and they are there only for the purpose of eating meat.

When it comes to satisfying this kind of desire, soy (豆類) food can never match a well-prepared tri-tip (also know as triangle beef steak ). Just the thought of the beef, burning on the grill (烤架) with the smell of wood smoke gets the mouth watering and brings back memories of summer barbecues. When the knife cuts through the tri- tip, exposing the red meat bursting with juices, it's more than just cooking. It's a cultural event, showing we are at the top of the food chain, like no other food can.

Nutritionally speaking, the tri-tip is one of the better cuts of beef. It is lower in fat than many other cuts, and the proteins (蛋白質(zhì)) you get from eating meat are more complete than those that come from vegetables, making meat a better choice for building and keeping up your muscle tissue healthy.

According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information, one thing to be aware of with soy products in general is that while they are high in iron, a necessary mineral for the body, they also contain something that blocks the body's absorption of iron. We can cook them in various ways to make them tasty. Anyway, the tri-tip goes a lot better with ice-cold beer than a large piece of bean-curd cheese would, no matter how you cook it.

I guess I should say at least

e good thing about tofu. If you cook it just right, you can make it taste a little like the tri-tip, but only a little.

【1】What's the author's attitude towards eating meat?

A. Uncaring. B. Approving.

C. Ambiguous. D. Cautious.

【2】From the second paragraph, we learn that a well-prepared tri-tip ______.

A. can be delicious and unforgettable

B. can be served only for barbecues

C. should be eaten with soy food

D. should be cooked longer on the grill

【3】 Compared with tofu, the tri-tip is ______.

A. more nutritious but poorer in proteins

B. higher in iron and other useful minerals

C. more beneficial for muscle development

D. harder for eaters to take in its iron

【4】The best title of the passage is ______.

A. The tri-tip, your right choice

B. Differences between tri-tip and tofu

C. Tofu, a nutritious soy food

D. Best food partner — Tri-tip and tofu

【題目】Robots that can chat，find misplaced glasses，draw aeroplanes and play with your children are attracting thousands of visitors during an expo in Tokyo as Japan adapts to changes in society．

Robots，such as the sound．sensitive Chapit，answer simple questions and even joke with people to help them fight loneliness and stay alert in old age．

Other robots，such as the award-winning “DiGRO” can support busy parents who have little time to play with their children．The robot can use the Internet to find a simple image and then draw pictures，keeping children company while parents work．

While Chapit，a relatively simple robot，managed to attract a corporate partner many researchers，such as Kiyoshi Matsumoto，a professor at the University of Tokyo，struggle to attract sponsors for more expensive projects．

“We have developed a robot that can assist many people，but we still haven’t found a sponsor,” said Matsumoto，who added that the cost of the machine，if mass-produced，would be comparable to that of a car．”In the current economic environment there are few companies willing to invest in such a costly project，”he said．
