14.Wildlife conservationists in Kenya are trying to save a rare kind of rhinoceros (犀牛).So many northern white rhinos have been hunted and killed that they are almost dying out.There were only five northern white rhinos left.So the workers hoped they could save the rhinos by helping them produce young.
Three northern white rhinos lived at The Ol Pejeta Conservancy (保護(hù)區(qū)) in Kenya.Workers with military weapons guarded the rhinos as they walked,played and ate over a large area of natural grass and trees.The three rhinos were brought to the conservancy in 2009from a zoo in the Czech Republic.Workers hoped they would have a better chance of survival in a more natural habitat.
But breeding has not been as successful as they had hoped.And the number of northern white rhinos continues to decrease.One of the rhinos at the conservancy died in October.Another died at a zoo in the US city of San Diego,California earlier this month.The San Diego zoo still has one northern white rhino left.The zoo in the Czech Republic also has one.
The last wild northern white rhinos were hunted and killed during conflicts in the Democratic Republic of Congo over the past ten years.Rhinos are killed because many people in Asia want the animals'horns (角).They believe the horns will help with medical problems.But researchers say there is no medicine in the horn,just a kind of hair.
The last male northern white rhino is 41years old.He has been unsuccessful in producing young with a female rhino.So conservationists will use artificial methods to make a young female become pregnant.If that is not successful,they will try to fertilize a northern rhino egg and put it into a southern white rhino,who will act as a surrogate(代孕) mother.The last solution would be cross-breeding between the northern and southern white rhino species.If cross-breeding is successful,there is hope that some part of the northern white rhino species may still live on.
32.Why were the three northern white rhinos brought to the conservancy in Kenya?B
A.To protect them from being killed by the armed guards.
B.To ensure that they live better in a natural environment.
C.To keep the conservation a good balance of nature.
D.To attract more visitors to come to this area.
33.In Paragraph 3,it's inferred that the number of the rhinos falls down toB.
A.1B.3C.5D.7
34.People hunted and killed rhinos becauseA.
A.they wanted to get rhinos'horns for medical use
B.rhinos ate natural grass and trees on their farmland
C.get rid of the threat of rhinos from their life
D.they wanted to do researches on producing young for rhinos
35.From the last paragraph,we can learn thatA.
A.other measures will be taken to breed rhinos
B.the conservationists lead a busy life in Congo
C.breeding a baby white rhino is quite an easy job
D.cross-breeding is an effective way to produce young.

分析 本文考察環(huán)境保護(hù)類短文閱讀,主要向我們講述了北部白犀牛由于人們的掠殺現(xiàn)在幾乎快要滅絕了,如今只剩下了三只,人們正在努力采取措施來培育犀牛.

解答 32.B  細(xì)節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)第二段Workers hoped they would have a better chance of survival in a more natural habitat.可知將犀牛送走是希望他們在自然的環(huán)境中生活的更好,故選B.
33.B  推理判斷題,根據(jù)第一段There were only five northern white rhinos left一共有五只犀牛;第三段One of the rhinos at the conservancy died in October;Another died at a zoo in the US city of San Diego;十月有一只犀牛在保護(hù)區(qū)死亡,另一只死于美國的一個動物園,因此犀牛的數(shù)量下降到3只,故選B.
34.A  細(xì)節(jié)理解題,根據(jù)第四段Rhinos are killed because many people in Asia want the animals'horns (角).They believe the horns will help with medical problems.可知犀牛被殺是因?yàn)樵趤喼藓芏嗳讼胍,他們認(rèn)為這個角會幫助醫(yī)療問題,因此人們獵殺犀牛是想得到犀牛角用于醫(yī)療用途,故選A.
35.A  推理判斷題,根據(jù)最后一段If cross-breeding is successful,there is hope that some part of the northern white rhino species may still live on.如果交叉育種成功,一部分的北白犀牛物種有希望還活著,最后一段介紹了三種培育犀牛的方法,所以從最后一段可知將來將采取其他措施培育犀牛,故選A.

點(diǎn)評 考查學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力.做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進(jìn)行比較,再做出正確選擇.在做推理判斷題時不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實(shí),要根據(jù)文章事實(shí)進(jìn)行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.

5.It seems that some people go out of their way to get into trouble.That's more or less what happened the night that Nashville Police Officer Floyd Hyde was on duty.
"I was on the way to a personal-inj ury accident in West Nashville.As I got onto Highway 40,blue lights and sirens(警笛)going,I fell in behind a gold Pontiac Firebird that suddenly seemed to take off quickly down the highway.The driver somehow flustered at the sight of me.He was going more than a hundred miles an hour and began passing cars on the shoulder."
But Hyde couldn't go after him.Taking care of injured people is always more important than worrying about speeders,so the officer had to stay on his way to the accident.But he did try to keep the Fi rebird in sight as he drove,hoping another nearby unit would be able to step in and stop the speeding car.As it.turned out,keeping the Firebird in sight was not that difficult.Every turn the Pontiac made was the very turn the officer needed to get to the accident scene.
Hyde followed the Pontiac all the way to his destination.At that point he found another unit had already arrived at the accident scene.His help wasn't needed.Now he was free to try to stop the driver of the Firebird,who by this time had developed something new to panic about.
"Just about that time,"Hyde says,"I saw fire coming out from under that car,with blue smoke and oil going everywhere.He'd blown his engine.Now he had to stop."
"After I arrested him,I asked him why he was running.He told me he didn't have a driver's license."
That accident cost the driver of the Firehird plenty-a thousand dollars for the new engine-not to mention the charges for driving without a license,attempting to run away,and dangerous driving.
 
66.The meaning of"flustered"in Paragraph 2 is related toD.
A.shame        B.hate    C.a(chǎn)nger            D.fear
67.Why did the driver of the Firebird suddenly speed down the highway?C
A.Because he was racing with another driver on the road.
B.Because he realized he had to hurry to the accident scene.
C.Because he thought the police officer wanted to stop him.
D.Because he wanted to overtake other cars on the shoulder.
68.Which of the following statements is true?A

5.Honey(蜂蜜)from the African forest is not only a kind of natural sugar,it is also delicious.Most people,and many animals,like eating it.However,the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees'nest(巢)and take the honey from it.Often,these nests are high up in trees,and it is difficult to find them.In parts of Africa,though,people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper一a little bird called a honey guide.
The honey guide does not actually like honey,but it does like the wax (蜂蠟) in the beehives (蜂房).The little bird cannot reach this wax,which is deep inside the bees'nest.So,when it finds a suitable nest,it looks for someone to help it.The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people.Once it has their attention,it flies through the forest,waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest.When they finally arrive at the nest,the follower  reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches.Some of the honey,and the wax,always falls to the ground,and this is when the honey guide takes its share.
Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax,but it is very determined in its efforts to get it.The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away.They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives,and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit.

60.Why is it difficult to find a wild bees'nest?B
A.It's small in size.
B.It's hidden in trees.
C.It's covered with wax.
D.It's hard to recognize.
61.What do the words"the follower"in Paragraph 2 refer to?C
A.A bee.
B.A bird.
C.A honey seeker.
D.A beekeeper.
62.The honey guide is special in the wayA.
A.it gets its food
B.it goes to church
C.it sings in the forest
D.it reaches into bees'nests
63.What can be the best title for the text?D
A.Wild Bees
B.Wax and Honey
C.Beekeeping in Africa
D.Honey-Lover's Helper.
