Green turtles continue to be caught for money by humans，and the destruction and loss of nesting and foraging (觅食) sites is a serious problem.Humans have already caused the decrease of large green turtle populations，including those that once nested in Bermuda and Cayman Islands.The situation of green turtle populations is difficult to determine because of our lack of knowledge about their life cycles.The number of nests in Florida appears to be increasing，but we don’t know whether this is due to an increase in the number of nests or because we have started to monitor (监控) nesting beaches more closely. The green turtle is the largest hardshelled sea turtle.Adults of this species commonly reach 100 cm in length and 150 kg in mass.The average size of a female nesting in Florida is 101.5 cm straight in length，with an average body mass of 136 kg. Growth rates of green turtles have not been measured under natural conditions.Green turtles grow slowly. In the southern Bahamas，green turtles grow from 30 to 75 cm in 17 years，and according to Bjorndal and Bolten，growth rates decrease with increasing length.Growth rates measured in green turtles from Florida and Puerto Rico fall within the range of growth rates measured in the southern Bahamas.Based on growth rate studies of wild green turtles，the researchers Balazs，Frazer and Ehrhart estimate the age of sexual maturity (成熟) can range anywhere from 20 to 50 years. The main idea of the passage is to tell us ________． A．something about an endangered animal B．how green turtles got extinct C．how heavy a green turtle is D．how long a green turtle can live 解析：选A。主旨大意题。文章开头就提到了绿海龟是一种濒临灭绝的动物，文章主要讲述了绿海龟的生存地、生活习性和大小等。B、C、D只是文章中对绿海龟的某个方面的描述，不能作为文章的主旨大意。 Which of the following is NOT a reason why green turtles are endangered? A．Humans catch them to get profit. B．They lose their nests. C．They have fewer places to find food. D．People like to keep them as pets. 解析：选D。细节理解题。根据第二段的第一句“Green turtles continue to be caught for money by humans，and the destruction and loss of nesting and foraging(觅食) sites is a serious problem.”可知文章提到了绿海龟濒临灭绝的三个原因：即人类的捕获，失去巢穴和失去寻找食物的地方。而D项文章没有提到，故其不能作为绿海龟濒临灭绝的原因。 Why is it hard for us to know the number of green turtles? A．Because it is difficult for us to be close to them. B．Because we have limited knowledge about them. C．Because we haven’t measured their growth rates. D．Because they grow too slowly. 解析：选B。细节理解题。根据第二段的“The situation of green turtle populations is difficult to determine because of our lack of knowledge about their life cycles.”可知我们不知道绿海龟具体数量的原因是因为我们缺乏有关其生命周期的知识。 What can we know from the pas
sage? A．Bjorndal and Bolten are two famous psychologists. B．Green turtles have the same age of sexual maturity. C．The green turtle grows more slowly after reaching a certain length. D．Researchers have known the status of green turtle populations. 解析：选C。细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句中的“growth rates decrease with increasing length”可知，绿海龟长到一定的长度后生长得越来越缓慢。 B When a dirty and untidy orange cat showed up in the prison yard，I was one of the first to go there and pet him.I hadn’t touched a cat or a dog in over 20 years.I spent at least 20 minutes，knelt down behind the kitchen as the cat rolled around，relaxed.What he was expressing outwardly，I was feeling inwardly.It was an amazing bit of grace to feel him under my hand and note that I was reaching a life or another creature with something as simple as my care? Over the next few days，there were other prisoners responding to the cat.They stood around talking and taking turns petting the cat.These were guys you wouldn’t usually find talking to each other.Several times I saw an officer in the group，not chasing people away，but just watching and seeming to enjoy along with the prisoners.Bowls of milk and water appeared along with bread，wisely placed under the edge of the dustbin to keep the birds from getting it. The cat was obviously homeless and in pretty bad shape.People said that the cat came to the right place.He’s getting treated like a king.This was true，but as I watched I was also thinking about what the cat was doing for us.There was a lot of talk about what’s wrong with prisons in America.We need more programs.We need more psychologists or treatment of various kinds.Some may even talk about making prisons more kind.Bu
t I think what we really need is a chance to practise our own kindness.Not receive it，but give it.After more than two decades here，I know kindness is not a value that’s encouraged.It’s often seen as a weakness.Instead，the culture encourages keeping your head down，minding your own business，and never letting yourself be weak. The cat did my heart good to see the effect he had on me and the men here.By simply saying “I need some help here”，he did something important for us.He needed us.And we needed to be needed. 【解题导读】　本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了监狱里迎来了一只小猫，囚犯们无微不至地照顾它的故事。通过这只猫，他们渐渐流露出真情和关爱，而这恰恰是监狱文化所缺少的，由此也反映了监狱文化的匮乏。 From the text，we can learn that the author was________． A．the owner of the cat B．an animal protector C．a prison officer D．a prisoner 解析：选D。推理判断题。根据第一段第一句可知，本文叙述的是监狱中的情况，再结合第二段第一句推测作者是一名囚犯。 Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A．Caring Makes Us Human B．Prison Culture Is Important C．Animals Need Care D．Everyone Needs to Be Cared for 解析：选A。主旨大意题。文章通过囚犯善待一只猫的故事阐述了关爱的意义。 C You might think that “global warming” means nothing more than a rise in the world’s temperature.But rising sea levels caused by it have resulted in the first evacuation (撤离)of an island nation—the citizens of Tuvalu will have to leave their homeland. During the 20th century，sea level rose 8-12 inches.As a result，Tuvalu has experienced lowland flooding of salt water that has polluted the country’s drinking water. Paani Laupepa，a Tuvaluan government official，reported to the Earth Policy Institute that the nation suffered an unusually high number of fierce storms in the past ten years.Many scientists connect higher surface water temperatures resulting from global warming to greater and more damaging storms. Laupepa expressed dissatisfaction with the United States for refusing to sign the Kyoto Protocol，an international agreement calling for industrialized nations to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions (导致温室效应的气体排放)，which are a main cause of global warming.“By refusing to sign the agreement，the US has effectively taken away the freedom of future generations of Tuvaluans to live where their forefathers have lived for thousands of years，”Laupepa told the BBC. Tuvalu has asked Australia and New Zealand to allow the gradual move of its people to both countries. Tuvalu is not the only country that is vulnerable(易受影响的)to rising sea levels.Maumoon Gayoon，president of the Maldives，told the United Nations that global warming has made his country of 311，000 an “endangered nation”． The passage is mainly about________． A．rapid changes in the earth’s temperature B．bad effects of global warming C．moving of a country to a new place D．reasons for lowland flooding 解析：选B。主旨大意题。这篇短文主要讲述了全球变暖造成的恶劣影响。 According to scientists，the DIRECT cause of more and fiercer storms is________． A．greenhouse gas emissions in industrialized nations B．higher surface water temperatures of the sea C．continuous global warming D．rising sea levels 解析：选选B。细节推断题。根据第三段中“Many scientists connect higher surface water temperatures resulting from global warming to greater and more damaging storms.”可判断出造成严重的暴风雨的直接原因是海洋表面水温太高。 Laupepa was not satisfied with the United States because it did not________． A．agree to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions B．sign an agreement with Tuvalu C．allow Tuvaluans to move to the US D．believe the problems facing Tuvalu were real 解析：选A。细节理解题。由第四段第一句话可知楼安拍(Laupepa)对美国不满是因为美国拒绝签署减少温室效应气体排放的公约。 The country whose situation is similar to that of Tuvalu is________． A．Australia B．New Zealand C．the Maldives D．the United States 解析：选选C。细节推断题。根据最后一段可判断出马尔代夫(the Maldives)与图瓦卢(Tuvalu)的情况相似。 D Thousands of eggs of the endangered Olive Ridley turtles (海龟) on the beach have failed to hatch this year because of the recent oil spill.An oil coat had spread over a seven km area near the nesting site off the Rushikulya beach after around eight tons of furnace oil leaked from an Essar-owned vessel near Gopalpur port，20 km from here，on April 12. Being pushed by high tide，the spilled oil spread to the coast.Villagers claimed that they had seen carcasses of adult turtles along the coast after the sea water had been contaminated.Around 155，000 of the rare Olive Ridleys had nested along the coastline in March while the mass hatching of eggs，which continued for a week，ended last week. “The authorities cleaned only 2 km -3 km stretch of the beach.Many eggs were damaged due to the effect of oil deposits.Moreover，many baby turtles failed to move out of the nest as the soil also got harder，” Sahu，who along with villagers of Purunabandha has been working in the turtle conservation programme in the last 16 years，said. Turtle expert Kartik Shanker also raised similar concerns.“The oil spill will have an effect on the mortality rate of the hatchlings.But scientifically，it is not possible to arrive at a mortality figure for it，” Shanker，a professor at the Indian Institute of Science，Bengaluru，said. Marine scientist Bijay Kumar Sahu said there was an immediate need for a detailed multi-discipline faculty study on the long-term impact of the oil spill on the marine environment.State forest and wildlife officials，however，refuted (反驳) the claims.“The oil spill has had no effect on the hatching process.Oil was cleaned from the beach a long time ago and the issue is now a closed chapter，” the state’ s Chief Conservator of Forests (Wildlife)，S S Srivastava said. The mortality rate of the hatchlings is usually high with only one out of every thousand surviving to become an adult turtle.“Out of around 100-120 eggs laid by a single female turtle，only about 80 of them hatch.The new-borns then face threats from predators like crows，jackals，etc.They also get eaten up by sea predators，” wildlife activist Biswajit Mohanty said. 【解题导语】　石油的泄漏给海洋生物带来了很大的影响，本文主要论述了石油泄漏对海龟孵化的影响。 Many baby turtles couldn’ t get out of their nests after they were hatched because________． A．their parents failed to find them B．the oil made the soil hard to break C．there was too much oil surrounding them D．t
hey were too weak to get out of their nests 解析：选B。考查细节理解。根据文章第三段中的“many baby turtles failed to move out of the nest as the soil also got harder”可知许多小海龟在被孵化出来后无力破开经过石油浸透而变硬的土壤。 The underlined “it” in Paragraph 4 probably refers to________． A．the oil spill B．the mortality rate C．the rate of hatching D．the survival of turtles 解析：选A。考查代词指代。根据文章第四段内容可知，如今还很难对因为石油泄漏而造成海龟的死亡数字作出科学统计，因此it指代的是前面提到的石油泄漏。 S S Srivastava’ s opinion is different from that of some other scientists in that________． A．the long-term effect of the oil spill remains to be seen B．the effect of the oil spill is quite clear and it needs no study C．the hatching of turtles is free from the effect of the oil spill D．the oil spill does lead to a higher mortality rate of the hatchlings 解析：选C。考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段可知，S S Srivastava认为石油泄漏对于海龟的孵化没有影响，这一点与一些科学家的看法相反。 The best title for the passage should be“________”． A．The mortality rate of the hatchlings of turtles B．Oil spill spoils thousands of turtle eggs C．How turtles survive the oil spill D．Effect of oil spill on the environment 解析：选B。考查主旨大意。浏览全文不难看出本文主要是围绕石油泄漏对海龟孵化的影响来讨论的，因此选项B适合作标题。 E According to a study，the Northeast of the US is seeing more frequent“extreme precipitation(降雨量)events”in line with global warming predictions，including storms like the fierce rains whose floodwaters swallowed neighborhoods and businesses across New England. The study does not link the recent powerful floods to its research but examined 60 years of National Weather Service rainfall records in nine Northeastern states and found that storms that produce
an inch or more of rain in a day are coming more frequently. The study’
s results are consistent with what could be expected in a world warmed by greenhouse gases，said Professor Cameron Wake of the University of New Hampshire.He acknowledged it would take more studies before it could be linked to global warming，though. What is more certain，researchers said，is the potential economic impact.Billions of dollars is required for infrastructure improvements to things in the region including roads，bridges，and underground pipes.The study examined precipitation data from 219 Weather Service reporting stations in the nine Northeastern states from scores of years ago to 2007. As the world warms，Wake said，there is more energy to turn water into vapor(蒸汽)，sending more vapor in the air.That in turn can increase the number of storms and the amount of precipitation those storms produce，he said. As the result of the powerful March storms Providence，R.I.，and other cities set a monthly record for precipitation，while Boston experienced its second-rainiest month since record keeping began. Global warming skeptic (怀疑论者) Patrick Michaels，a senior fellow in environmental studies at the Cato Institute，said it would be unfair to use the recent floods as an example of what’s in the study.“You can’t take several events and say it’s a product of a certain trend，”Michaels said. Previous studies have shown that New England’s wettest days of the year are getting wetter over time，but there was no net change nationwide，raising doubt as to whether global warming is the culprit(罪魁祸首)，Michaels said. The study mentioned in the passage________． A．contained the recent terrible floods across New England B．examined fierce rains happening in most parts of America C．found the storms were consistent with global warming predictions D．only referred to the recent rainfall records 解析：选选C。细节理解题。根据第三段The study’s results are consistent with what could be expected in a world warmed by greenhouse gases...可知答案。 The underlined word “infrastructure” in Paragraph 4 refers to“________”． A．people’s living standards B．basic systems and services C．flood conditions in certain areas D．greenhouse gas emissions 解析：选B。词义猜测题。根据其后文．..including roads，bridges，and underground pipes可推断，infrastructure意为“基础设施”。 The study examined precipitation data from________． A．1948 to 2007 B．1998 to 2007 C．2006 to 2009 D．1949 to 2008 解析：选A。推理判断题。根据第二段．..examined 60 years of National Weather Service rainfall records...和第四段．..from scores of years ago to 2007可知答案。 Why are there more storms nowadays according to Wake? A．Because there is more water in the sky. B．Because rivers，lakes and oceans have been polluted. C．Because global warming is causing more water to become vapor. D．Because more and more ice in the polar areas is melting. 解析：选C。细节理解题。根据第五段As the world warms，...sending more vapor in the air.可知答案。 四、写作(共两节，满分35分) 第一节　短文改错(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分) 以下标有题号的每一行均有一个错误，请找出，并按下列情况改正： 此行多一个词：把多余的词用斜线(\)划掉，在该行右边横线上写出该词，并也用斜线划掉。 此行缺一个词：在缺词处加一个漏字符号(∧)，在该行右边横线上写出该加的词。 此行错一个词：在错的词下画一横线，在该行右边横线上写出改正后的词。 One
