　　Luckily, humans 2 face the problem. However, another creature (生物) may. The animal is the giant panda, one of the world's most __3__ animals.

　　It has been discovered that the bamboo plants the giant pandas eat are dying. As a result, many of the pandas are dying of 4 . In the wild, the giant panda eats only two kinds of bamboo plants. One is the umbrella bamboo; 5 is the fountain bamboo. 6 kinds can live 100 years. In its 7 year the bamboo plant blooms, has seeds and dies.

　　Last year the umbrella and the fountain 8 9 grow in China became 100 years old. The plant grows from seeds formed in the late 1870's. Now almost all of these bamboo plants are dead. Young shoots now grow from the seeds. However, it will be many months before the shoots are large enough to be eaten as food by the pandas. So the large black and white animals continue 10 .

　　Can the wild pandas be 11 ? A group of American scientists went to China 12 the pandas in their native habitat. The studies took place in the. areas of Sichuan Province in south-west China. The scientists especially wanted to find out 13 about the animals' food. They wanted to see 14 the pandas are able to change to other foods 15 the two kinds of bamboo are growing.

　　The Chinese government recognizes the worldwide concern about the giant pandas and 16 steps to save the animals. Large areas of the giant pandas habitat have been set 17 as wildlife preserves 18 the pandas can live freely. At the same time, Chinese scientists are trying to increase 19 number of giant pandas 20 some of the animals in zoos. The first baby panda was born in Beijing Zoo in the autumn of 1978.

答案：C;A;B;A;D;B;B;C;A;B;A;C;B;B;C;C;A;A;A;B
解析：

(1) C 表示假設(shè).本小題易誤選D項(xiàng)，但是這句話講的并不是一個事實(shí)，而是虛擬的假設(shè)，因此正確答案應(yīng)為C項(xiàng).

(2) A 人類并沒有面臨這類問題.本小題也易誤選D項(xiàng)，這主要是由兩方面的原因所致：一是讀題不夠認(rèn)真，文中的Luckily本身就表明人類現(xiàn)在并不面臨這一問題；二是沒有注意到該句敘述的是一個一般事實(shí)，因此要用一般現(xiàn)在時態(tài).

(3) B 名詞前應(yīng)被形容詞修飾，而此題只有lovely為形容詞，故選B.

(4) A 根據(jù)上下文.應(yīng)為死于“饑餓”，C項(xiàng)hungry為形容詞，故選名詞hunger.

(5) D 表示“兩個之中的另一個”，是one…the other結(jié)構(gòu).

(6) B 很明顯是指上文提到的兩種竹子.

(7) B 句意為：在第一百年的時候，竹子開花結(jié)果然后死亡.“第一百”應(yīng)用序數(shù)詞.

(8) C 指傘竹和噴泉竹.

(9) A 關(guān)系代詞.本小題應(yīng)該選A項(xiàng)，而不能選其他選項(xiàng)，因?yàn)檫@里需要一個關(guān)系代詞作主語引導(dǎo)定語從句 (that grow in China).

(10) B 沒有這兩種竹子作為食物，熊貓繼續(xù)死亡.本小題的誤選是由于沒有正確把握上文所提供的語料信息，----竹筍需要好幾個月才能長大供熊貓吃，因此熊貓的食物自然是個問題，所以答案不可能是A項(xiàng)或C項(xiàng).再則，熊貓的不斷死亡這一情況屬于動作，而不屬于狀態(tài)，因此D項(xiàng)亦應(yīng)予以排除.

(11) A 用被動語態(tài)表示“被拯救”.

(12) C 這里用study表示“研究”大熊貓；搜尋大熊貓為search for the pandas，這里不屬此句型，故A應(yīng)排除.

(13) B 發(fā)現(xiàn)關(guān)于大熊貓食物的更多的情況.

(14) B if在這里表示“是否”之意.相當(dāng)于whether,引導(dǎo)賓語從句.

(15) C 他們想看一下在這兩種竹子正在生長的時候.大熊貓是否能夠吃別的食物來代替.

(16) C “已經(jīng)采取措施”，用現(xiàn)在完成時.選C項(xiàng)是因?yàn)?/FONT>take steps表示“采取措施”，其他選項(xiàng)均不能與steps搭配，構(gòu)成動賓關(guān)系.

(17) A set aside表示“留下將來使用”之意.

(18) A 先行詞表示地點(diǎn)，where引導(dǎo)一個限制性定語從句修飾先行詞 wildlife preserves.

(19) A 句意為“提高大熊貓的數(shù)量”，故用定冠詞the來修飾number.

(20) B 選by raising表示“通過……”.

閱讀理解：

　　In Europe, men do not usually wear skirts. But the Scottish national clothing for men is a kind of skirt. It is called a kilt. The Scottish like to be different. They are also proud of their country and its history, and they feel that the kilt is part of that history. That's why the men still wear kilts at traditional (傳統(tǒng)的) dances and on national holidays. They believe they are wearing the same clothes that Scottish men always used to wear.

　　That's what they believe. However, kilts are not really so old. Before 1730, Scottish men wore a long shirt and blanket around their shoulders. These clothes got in the way when the men started to work in factories. So, in 1730 a factory owner changed the blanket into a skirt; the kilt. That's how the first kilt was made.

　　Then, in the late 1700s Scottish soldiers in the British Army began to wear kilts. One reason for this was national sentiment ( = feelings) . The Scottish soldiers wanted to be different from the English soldiers. The British Army probably had a different reason. A Scottish soldier in a kilt was always easy to find! The Scottish soldier fought very hard and became famous. The kilt was part of the fame, and in the early 1800s men all around Scotland began to wear kilts.

　　These kilts had colorful stripes (條紋) going up and down and across. In the 1700s and early 1800s, the color of the stripes had no special meaning. Men sometimes owned kilts in several different colors. But later the colors became important to the Scottish families. By about 1850, most families had special colors for their kilts. For example, men from the Campbell family had kilts with green, yellow and blue stripes. Scottish people often believe that the colors of the kilts are part of their family history. In fact, each family just chose the color they liked best.

　　This is not the story you will hear today if you are in Scotland. Most Scottish people still believe that kilts are as old as Scotland and that the colors are as old as the Scottish families. Sometimes feelings are stronger than facts!

1．This text is mainly about ________.

A．soldiers' clothes in Britain
B．the history of Scotland
C．a(chǎn) special kind of skirt
D．Scottish families

2．Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A．The English soldiers were the first to wear kilts.

B．It was hard then to tell the Scottish soldiers from the English ones apart from the clothes.

C．Colors were specially designed in the first kilts.

D．The factory owner made the first kilt from long shirts to make his workers different from others.

3．Scottish soldiers were dressed in kilts partly because of ________.

A．the colors
B．the weather
C．national sentiment
D．the design

4．The colors of the kilts are ________.

[　　]

A．not part of the Scottish family history

B．older than the Scottish family history

C．for the Campbell family only

D．mainly green, yellow and blue

5．From the last paragraph we can infer that ________.

[　　]

A．the European people are full of strong feelings

B．there are no stories about kilts in Scotland today

C．the British like to do things on feelings, not on facts

D．the Scottish prefer to keep their tradition rather than believe the fact

閱讀理解：

　　Suppose we built a robot(機(jī)器人)to explore the planet Mars．We provide the robot with seeing detectors(探測器)to keep it away from danger．It is powered entirely by the sun．Should we program the robot to be equally active at all times?No．The robot would be using up energy at a time when it was not receiving any．So we would probably program it to stop its activity at night and to wake up at dawn the next morning．

　　According to the evolutionary(進(jìn)化的)theory of sleep, evolution equipped us with a regular pattern of sleeping and waking for the same reason．The theory does not deny(否認(rèn))that sleep provides some important restorative functions(恢復(fù)功能)．It merely says that evolution has programmed us to perform those functions at a time when activity would be inefficient and possibly dangerous．However, sleep protects us only from the sort of trouble we might walk into; it does not protect us from trouble that comes looking for us．So we sleep well when we are in a familiar, safe place, but we sleep lightly, if at all, when we fear that bears will nose into the tent．

　　The evolutionary theory explains the differences in sleep among creatures．Why do eats, for instance, sleep so much, while horses sleep so little?Surely cats do not need five times as much repair and restoration as horses do．But cats can afford to have long periods of inactivity because they spend little time eating and are unlikely to be attacked while they sleep．Horses must spend almost all their waking hours eating, because what they eat is very low in energy value．Moreover, they cannot afford to sleep too long or too deeply, because their survival(生存)depends on their ability to run away from attackers．

(1)

The author uses the example of the robot in space exploration to tell us ________．

[　　]

A．

the differences between robots and men

the reason why men need to sleep

about the danger of men working at night

[　　]

A．

keep up a regular pattern of life

B．

prevent trouble that comes looking for him

C．

avoid danger and inefficient labour

D．

restore his bodily functions

(3)

According to the author, we cannot sleep well when we ________．

[　　]

A．

are worrying about our safety

B．

are overworked

C．

are in a tent

D．

are away from home

(4)

Cats sleep much more than horses do partly because cats ________．

[　　]

A．

need more time for restoration

B．

are unlikely to be attackers

C．

axe more active than homes when they are awake

D．

spend less time eating to get enough energy

(5)

Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?

[　　]

A．

Evolution has equipped all creatures with a regular pattern of sleeping and waking．

B．

The study of sleep is an important part of the evolutionary theory．

C．

Sleeping patterns must be taken into consideration in the designing of robots．

D．

The sleeping pattern of a living creature is determined by the food it eats．

　　One day I bought a house．One day－what a day!–I became a father, and not too long after that I picked up the check for my own father．I thought then it was a milestone for me．One day, when I was a little older, I realized it was one for him, too, another milestone．
