26、 We human beings haven’t been good friends to animals. For thousands of years, we have been polluting the environment ,making it hard for animals to live on the planet. We have been killing animals for their fur, feathers or meat, or simply because they are dangerous. As a result, many kinds of animals have disappeared forever. Hundreds more are on the endangered list today.
Should we care about animals? Of course we should. If animals of a certain kind all disappear, they will never come back again. Animals are more than just resources of things we need. Every kind of animal has its place in the balance of nature. Destroying any kind of animal can lead to many problems. For example, when farmers killed large numbers of hawks(鹰)，the corn and grain that the farmers stored were destroyed by rats and mice. Why？Because hawks eat rats and mice. With less and less hawks to keep down their numbers, rats and mice multiplied quickly. And if people kill too many birds, the fields will be bothered with insects. It is because birds eat insects. When there are less and less birds, more and more insects will eat the crops.
Luckily, we’ve realized that we shouldn’t kill animals any more. And people are working hard to save those animals that would disappear soon. The government also passed laws to protect the endangered animals. In fact, quite a few countries have passed such laws. These laws forbid the killing of any kind of animal on the endangered list. We should try our best to protect and save the endangered animals.
【1】Why do people kill animals?
A.Animals cause endless trouble.
B.They kill animals for something they need.
C.Animals destroy their natural balance.
D.They kill animals to control their number.
【2】The example that farmers killed hawks shows that .
A.there are too many rats and mice
B.animals are very beautiful and interesting
C.animals are good food resources
D.every kind of animal is very important in nature
【3】What can be learned from this text?
A.Killing off one kind of animals would cause some new problems. B.The endangered animals should be kept away from people.
C.People cared much about animals because they relied on them. D.The number of dangerous animals increased too fast in the past.
【4】What is the author’s attitude towards the future of endangered animals?
A.Doubtful B.Uncaring C.Optimistic D.Negative
27、 One night recently, I was driving down a two-lane highway at about 60 miles an hour. A car approached from the opposite direction at about the same speed. As we passed each other, I caught the other driver’s eye for only a second. I wondered whether he might be thinking, as I was, how dependent we were on each other at that moment. I was relying on him not to fall asleep, not to be put off by a phone conversation, not to cross over into my lane and bring my life to a sudden end. Though we had never spoken a word to each other, he relied on me in just the same way.
Multiplied a million times over, I believe that is the way the world works. At some level, we all depend upon one another. Sometimes that dependence requires us simply not to do something like crossing over the double yellow line. And sometimes it requires us to act cooperatively, with friends or even with strangers.
As technology shrinks our world, the need increases for cooperative action among nations. In 2003, doctors in five nations were quickly organized to identify the SARS virus, which saved thousands of lives. The threat of international terrorism has shown itself to be a similar problem, one requiring coordinated action by police and intelligence forces across the world. We must recognize that our fates (命运) are not ours alone to control .
In my own life, I’ve put great stock in personal responsibility. But, as the years have passed, I’ve also come to believe that there are moments when one must rely upon the good faith and judgment of others. So, while each of us faces the case of driving alone down a dark road , what we must learn is that the approaching light may not be a threat , but a shared moment of trust.
【1】The author considers ________ very important.
A.driving alone on a dark road B.shared trust and cooperation
C.cooperation to identify SARS virus D.independence of people
【2】The author said that they depended on each other in the same way because ________.
A.the approaching car was very dangerous
B.they both drove their car at a terrific speed
C.it was dark and the road was not wide enough
D.he might be killed out of the other’s careless driving
【3】From the second paragraph, we know the author drew the important lesson from ________.
A.only one experience B.many friends and strangers
C.a driver on a dark road D.many similar experiences
【4】The need for cooperation increases because _________.
A.terrorism can happen everywhere
B.the SARS virus spread quickly
C.peoples’ fates can’t be controlled by themselves
D.the world has become smaller
【5】We can infer from the last paragraph that the author has ________.
A.had a change on his viewpoint of life
B.counted upon himself alone in everything
C.had no trust in others’ good faith and judgment
D.believed in one’s own personal responsibility
28、 Do you want to control a device with your mind? Do you want to power your home with the energy of your own activities? These are two of the developments that experts at International Business Machines Company (IBM) think will become reality within the next five years. The technology company has released its latest “5 in 5” report.
The experts at IBM think people will soon be able to control many electronic devices simply by using their mind. They say people will soon have a way to just think about calling or emailing someone in order to make it happen.
Another prediction is a way for people to power their homes and offices using energy from activities like walking or running. Bernie Meyerson, IBM’s Vice President of Innovation, says this is known as micro-electronic generation.
Another prediction: passwords could soon become a thing of past. IBM says developments in biometric technology could soon make passwords unnecessary. Some of the most common biometrics used to identify people are fingerprints, face and voice recognition, and iris scans. The iris is the colored part of the eye. Bernie Meyerson says this technology will soon be more widely used by money machines and other devices.
The fourth prediction from the experts at IBM; better technology to prevent unwanted emails. Bernie Meyerson said, “As you get rid of emails that you don’t want to read, the device learns your habits and words for you as our assistant by eliminating stuff you never want anyway.”
The last prediction on IBM’s “5 in 5” list is an end to the “digital divide” between those who have technology and those who do not.
【1】According to Paragraph 2, you can control an electronic device by ________.
A. giving it a phone call
B. writing an email to it
C. ordering it to work with your voice
D. thinking about what you want it to do
【2】We know if micro-electronic generation becomes reality, people ________.
A. will live a much more relaxing life
B. will need to run in their house all day
C. can produce electricity through activities
D. will no longer need to go to their office to work
【3】If you use a machine that uses iris scans to identify a person, you ________.
A. have to use passwords at first
B. should show your fingerprints
C. need to speak to the machine aloud
D. only need to stare into the machine
【4】What does the underlined word “eliminating” in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. Removing. B. Changing.
C. Observing. D. Replacing.
29、In south China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autochthonous Region, an area renowned for(因……而闻名) its history of musical folklore(民俗), local residents(民众) have found a unique way to spread knowledge regarding(关于) AIDS prevention.
“We asked eight local singers to write and record songs about the disease. We think this is an effective way for local people to acquire AIDS knowledge,” said 55-year-old Huang Zhanghui, a resident of the village of Shantun. He said that the songs are played through loudspeakers in his village every evening.
The songwriting campaign(活动) has been effective because folk songs are a traditional art form in the region, making them more readily understandable and acceptable for local residents, Huang said.
Guangxi has been one of the hardest-hit areas in China in terms of the number of AIDS infections discovered there, ranking only after central China’s Henan Province.
Bama County, which administers(管理) Shantun, is known for the longevity of its residents. Nearly 2,500 of its residents are more than 80 years old, and another 81 have celebrated their 100th birthdays.
“We will not let AIDS threaten this tradition,” Huang said.
Huang was selected to be the head of the village’s AIDS prevention office just two months ago. In addition to the creation of folk songs, the office spreads AIDS prevention knowledge through text messages and publicly screened films.
“We have been making progress with our anti-AIDS campaign. Nearly all of our villagers know how AIDS is transmitted(传播) and how to prevent it,” he said.
Lu Meirong, 33, joined a local women’s anti-AIDS group in June.
“I used to flush(脸红) at the simple mention of sexual(性感) topics, ” she said. However, she says that she is now comfortably reminding her husband and other relatives to stay away from sex workers.
Wei Kaizhong, head of the health bureau(局) of the city of Hechi, believes that the mode(方式/风格) of peer educations on HIV/ AIDS prevention is necessary among villagers.
Nearly two-thirds of China’s AIDS carriers are believed to be living in rural areas. Rural residents have a significantly higher risk of contracting(感染) the disease than urban residents.
【1】Which kind of songs are the residents better at?

Note that there is one word more than you need.
A Bad Idea
Think you can walk, dive, take phone calls, e-mail and listen to music at the same time? Well, New York's new law says you can't. And you'll be 【1】 $S100 if you do it on a New York City street.
The law went into force last month, following research and a(n) 【2】number of accidents that involved people using electronic gadgets when crossing the street.
Who's to【3】 ? Scientists say that our multitasking abilities are limited.
"We are under the impression that our brain can do more than it often can," says Rene Marois, a neuroscientist in Tennessee. “But a major limitation is the inability to【4】on two things at once".
The young people are often considered the great multitaskers. However, an Oxford University research suggests this idea is open to question. A group of 18-to 21-year-olds and a group of 35-to 39-year-olds were given 90 seconds to translate【5】into numbers, using a simple code. The younger group did 10 percent better when not interrupted. But when both groups were interrupted by a phone call or a(n) 【6】message, the older group matched the younger group in speed and 【7】.
It is difficult to measure the productivity【8】by multitaskers. But it is probably a lot. Jonathan Spire, chief analyst at Basex. a business-research firm, estimates the cost of interruptions to the American economy at nearly $650 billion a year.
The【9】is based on surveys with office workers. The surveys conclude that 28 percent of the workers' time was spent on interruptions and【10】time before they returned to their main tasks.
