The United States Department of Agriculture has a program called Wildlife Services.Its job is to help protect agriculture and other resources from threats and damage by wildlife.Often that means helping farmers deal with unwelcome visitors.This organization has experts from different fields and it has set up thousands of inquiry agencies all over the country where farmers can explain their difficulty and get practical help.

One example from Wildlife Services of its work involved a farmer in Washington State,in the Pacific Northwest.Several years ago,thousands of Canada geese landed on his fields.The geese began to eat his carrot crop.Biologists from the program suggested that the farmer use noise-making devices and other measures to scare the large birds away.These efforts apparently succeeded,which made the farmer quite happy.

Wildlife Services also has a livestock(牲畜)protection program.The program just offers suggestions to keep those unwelcome visitors away instead of killing them.Experts suggest providing secure shelter for chickens,sheep and other animals that could be attacked.They also suggest using lights above places where animals are kept.And they advise people who see coyotes around their property to chase them away by shouting,making loud noises or throwing rocks.For home gardeners,a two-meter fence might help keep out deer.To keep out rabbits,a wire fence has to be only about a half-meter high.It should extend fifteen centimeters underground to keep rabbits from digging under it.If snakes are a problem,remove dead trees and cut high grass to destroy their hiding places.And to protect livestock,consider using guard animals such as dogs and donkeys,which are very effective.Due to its effective work,ever since the Wildlife Services was started,it has been well received by farmers all over the States and neighboring countries such as Canada and Mexico.

1.The underlined phrase “unwelcome visitors” in the first paragraph refers to 　　　.

A. animals that attack the farmers

B. people who don’t care about wildlife

C. animals that do harm to the crops or livestock

D. people who pollute the environment of the farms

2.It can be inferred from the second paragraph that 　　　.

A. the farmer didn’t have a gun to kill those Canada geese

B. Wildlife Services involves some biologists in its group

C. the carrot crop was eaten up by the Canada geese

D. the farmers like to eat Canada geese very much

3.What is mainly discussed in the last paragraph?

A. Ways to protect livestock. B. Ways to deal with coyotes.

C. How to protect crops. D. How to find wildlife.

4.How is the program getting along?

A. It remains to be improved.

Like many thickly populated urban neighborhoods, Lincoln Park also has rats. A lot of rats. “Every night when I walk down the sidewalk, I see rats, ” says 36-year-oId Kelly McGee, who has come to accept this aspect of city living. “It’s an urban area; I don't know what else we can expect.”

McGee lives just down the block from the old Children's Memorial Hospital, which is about to be torn down as part of a massive redevelopment project. “Construction all over the city often disturbs rats that are living underground,” says Lincoln Park’s City Council representative, Alderman Michele Smith. “Every developer has to do active rat reduction on site, ”Smith says. Already, there are poisonous and inviting food boxes all around the old hospital complex. But the developer of the hospital site still warned residents in a recent community meeting that when digging begins later this month, the rat problem could be awful.

Victoria Thomas, who lives a few miles north of Lincoln Park in Chicago’s Lake View neighborhood, says she tried everything from underground fencing to poison traps to wipe out rats, but nothing worked until she got some cats. From the first day she got the cats, Thomas says the rats started to disappear.

“The cats will kill off a great deal of the initial population of the rats, ”says Paul Nickerson, who manages the Cats at Work program for Tree House Humane Society. “And through spreading their pheromones, a chemical produced by an animal, the cats will keep other rats from filling their absence.” Nickerson says that is what makes the cat program so successful in keeping rats away for the long term. ” The rats are far from stupid. They smell the cats’ pheromones so they’ll stay out of the cats’ territory(領(lǐng)域).”

After Smith highlighted the program in a recent newsletter, Nickerson and Tree House Humane Society have been getting lots of calls from people seeking their own cat colonies. That means a lot more wild cats that might otherwise be killed out of pity will be cared for while doing something that they love: hunting rats.

1.What is McGee’s attitude towards the rat problem?

A. Indifferent. B. Tolerant.

C. Annoyed. D. Frightened.

2.What does the underlined word in the last but one paragraph refer to?

A. Rats’ stupidity.

B. Tree House Humane Society.

C. Cat’s nature of killing rats.

D. The smell of cat’s pheromones.

3.What does the last paragraph suggest?

A. The program is a win-win thing.

B. Cats should be taken good care of.

C. Wild cats are more skilled at hunting.

D. It’s important to keep the ecological balance.

Secretary: What do you think about Liu Dong's application?

President: I think he's excellent. He knows how to organize adventures, and he knows a lot about history and nature.He once managed to arrange the trip to the Mogao Caves for him and his parents.

Secretary: That's true, but I think he's too independent. We need club members who can work well with others.

President: On the other hand, we also need people who know how to make plans and carry them out. I think Liu Dong can do that.

Secretary: But if he is not friendly, no one will want to take part in the activities he organizes.

President: You’re right. I have a suggestion. Let's offer him a trial membership for three months. We can ask him to try to be friendlier and more outgoing. At the end of three months, he can become a full member if we think he is fit for our club.

Secretary: I think that's a good idea. Let's send him an e?mail.

注意：1.詞數(shù)100左右；

科目：高中英語 來源：山西省臨汾市2017屆高三全真模擬英語試卷 題型：閱讀理解

Blind imitation is self-destruction. To those who do not recognize their unique worth, imitation appears attractive: to those who know their strength, imitation is unacceptable.

In the early stages of skill or character development, imitation is helpful. When I first learned to cook, I used recipes and turned out some tasty dishes. But soon I grew bored. Why follow someone else’s way of cooking when I could create my own? Imitating role models is like using training wheels on a child’s bicycle; they help you get going, but once you find your own balance, you fly faster and farther without relying on them.

In daily life, imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously(下意識地) hold poor role models. If, as a child, you observed people whose lives were bad, you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did. If you do not make strong choices for yourself, you will get the results of the weak choices of others.

In the field of entertainment, our culture glorifies celebrities. Those stars look great on screen. But when they step off screen, their personal lives may be disastrous. If you are going to follow someone, focus on their talent, not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors.

Blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique. Think of the movies, books, teachers, and friends that have affected you most deeply. They touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration, not desperation. The world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them, but by those who do what has been done inside them. Creative people have an endless resource of ideas. The problem a creator faces is not running out of material; it is what to do with the material knocking at the door of imagination.

Study your role models, accept the gifts they have given, and leave behind what does not server. Then you can say, “I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors’ tragedies and stories, and know that they are cheering me on.”

1.To avoid the bad result of imitation, we should ________.

A. forget daily fear and pain B. ask others for decisions

C. choose the right example D. stay away from stars

2.According to the author, the world moves on because of those who are ________.

A. desperate to insurance others with their knowledge

B. willing to accept others’ ideas

C. eager to discover what their ancestors did

D. ready to turn their original ideas into reality

3.What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?

A. To highlight the importance of creatively.

B. To criticize the characters of role models.

C. To compare imitation with creation.

D. To explain the meaning of success.
