8.It is reported that conservation groups in North America have been arguing about the benefits and dangers of wolves.Some groups believe wolves should be killed.Other people believe wolves
Must be protected so that they will not disappear from the wilderndss(荒野)
For Killing Wolves
    In Alaska,the wolf almost disappeared a few years ago,because hunters were killing hundreds 0f them forsport.However.1aws were established to protect the wolves from sportsmen and people who catch the animals for their fur.So the woIf population has greatly increased.Now there are so many wolves that they are destroying their own food supply.
   A wolf naturally eats animals in the deer family.People in the wilderness also hunt deer for food.Many of the animals have been destroyed by the very cold winters recently and by changes in the wilderness plant life.When the deer can't find enough food,they die.
    If the wolves continue to kill large numbers of deer,their prey(猎物)will disappear some day.And the wolves will.too.So we must change the cycle of life in the wilderness to balance the ecology.If we killed more wolves,we would save them and their prey from dying out.We'd also save some farm animals.
    In another northern state,wolves attack cows and chickens for food.Farmers want the government to send biologists to study the problem.They believe it necessary to kill wolves in some areas and to protect them in places where there is a small woIf population.
Against Killing Wolves
    If you had lived long ago,you would have heard many different stories about the dangerous wolf.According to most stories,hungry wolves often kill people for food.Even today,the stories of the"big bad woIf'"will not disappear.
    But the fact is wolves are afraid of people.and they seldom travel in areas where there is a human smell.When wolves eat other animals,they usually kill the very young.or the sick and injured.The strongest survive.No kind of animal would have survived through the centuries if the weak members had lived.And has always been a law of nature.Although some people say it is good sense to kill wolves,we say it is nonsense!Researchers have found wolves and their prey living in balance.The wolves keep the deer population from becoming too large,and that keeps a balance in the wilderness plant life.
    The real problem is that the areas where wolves can live are being used bv people.Even if wilderness land is not used directly for human needs.the wolves can't always find enough food.So they travel to the nearest source,which is often a farm.Then there is danger.The"big bad wolf"has arrived!And everyone knows what happens next.

60.According to the passage,some people in North America favor killing wolves for all the following reasons EXCET thatD.
A.there are too many wolves                B.they kill large numbers deer
C.they attack cows and chickens for food    D.they destroy the wilderness plant life
61.Some people are against killing wolves becauseA.
A.wolves help to keep the ecological balance in the wildemess
B.there is too small a wolf population in the wilderness
C.there are too many deer in the wilderness
D.wolves are afraid of people and never attack people
62.According to those against killing wolves,when wolves eat other animals,C.
A.they never eat strong and healthy ones
B.they always go against the law of nature
C.they might help this kind of animals survive in nature
D.they disturb the ecological balance in the wilderness

分析 本文属于记叙文阅读,主要向我们说明了北美洲的保护组织一直在争论狼的利益和危险,一些组织认为狼应该被杀,而另一些人说出了狼存在的好处,文章中介绍了这两种不同观点的理由,告诉我们其实狼在自然界中有很大的用处.

解答 60.D  细节理解题,根据第四段So the woIf population has greatly increased.If the wolves continue to kill large numbers of deer,their prey(猎物)will disappear some day.In another northern state,wolves attack cows and chickens for food.可知猎杀狼的原因是因为有太多的狼,他们杀死大量的鹿并攻击奶牛,而没有提到他们破坏旷野植物,故选D.
6l.A  细节理解题,根据倒数第二段The wolves keep the deer population from becoming too large,and that keeps a balance in the wilderness plant life.可知一些人反对杀狼是因为狼在旷野中帮助保持生态平衡,故选A.
62.C  细节理解题,根据倒数第二段When wolves eat other animals,they usually kill the very young.or the sick and injured.The strongest survive.No kind of animal would have survived through the centuries if the weak members had lived.And has always been a law of nature.可知狼吃那些年轻的生病的或受伤的动物,体现了适者生存的自然法则,因此狼可能帮助这种动物在大自然中生存,故选C.
63.B   推理判断题,根据最后一段Even if wilderness land is not used directly for human needs.the wolves can't always find enough food.So they travel to the nearest source,which is often a farm.Then there is danger.The"big bad wolf"has arrived!And everyone knows what happens next.可知如果狼的居住的地方被人类占据,它们不能获得足够的食物,就会跑到就近的农场吃人,那么人类也会反过来杀死它们,故选B.

点评 做阅读理解时要快速的浏览全文,把握文章主旨大意,带着问题回到原文,寻找细节或概括相应的答案,最后要理清作者写作思路.

13.If a diver surfaces too quickly,he may suffer the bends.Nitrogen(氮) dissolved(溶解) in his blood is suddenly liberated by the reduction of pressure.The consequence,if the bubbles (气泡)accumulate in a joint,is sharp pain and abent body-thus the name.If the bubbles form in his lungs or his brain,the consequence can be death.
  Other air-breathing animals also suffer this decompression(减压) sickness if they surface too fast:whales,for example.And so,long ago,did ichthyosaurs.That these ancient sea animals got the bends can be seen from their bones.If bubbles of nitrogen form inside the bone they can cut off its blood supply.This kills the cells in the bone,and consequently weakens it,sometimes to the point of collapse.Fossil (化石)bones that have caved in on them selves are thus a sign that the animal once had the bends.
  Bruce Rothschild of the University of Kansas knew all this when he began a study of ichthyosaur bones to find out how widespread the problem was in the past.What he particularly wanted to investigate was how ichthyosaurs adapted to the problem of decompression over the 150 million years.To this end,he and his colleagues traveled the world's natural-history museums,looking at hundreds of ichthyosaurs from the Triassic period and from the later Jurassic and Cretaceous periods.
When he started,he assumed that signs of the bends would be rarer in younger fossils,reflecting their gradual evolution of measures to deal with decompression.Instead,he was astonished to discover the opposite.More than 15% of Jurassic and Cretaceous ichthyosaurs had suffered the bends before they died,but not a single Triassic specimen(标本) showed evidence of that sort of injury.
  If ichthyosaurs did evolve an anti-decompression means,they clearly did so quickly-and,most strangely,they lost it afterwards.But that is not what Dr Rothschild thinks happened.He suspects it was evolution in other animals that caused the change.
  Whales that suffer the bends often do so because they have surfaced to escape a predator (捕食动物) such as a large shark.One of the features of Jurassic oceans was an abundance of large sharks and crocodiles,both of which were fond of ichthyosaur lunches.Triassic oceans,by contrast,were mercifully shark-and crocodile-free.In the Triassic,then,ichthyosaurs were top of the food chain.In the Jurassic and Cretaceous,they were prey(猎物) as well as predator-and often had to make a speedy exit as a result.

61.Which of the following is a typical symptom of the bends?A
A.A twisted body.
B.A gradual decrease in blood supply.
C.A sudden release of nitrogen in blood.
D.A drop in blood pressure.
62.The purpose of Rothschild's study is to seeB.
A.how often ichthyosaurs caught the bends    
B.how ichthyosaurs adapted to decompression
C.why ichthyosaurs bent their bodies      
D.when ichthyosaurs broke their bones
63.Rothschild'sfindingstatedinParagraph4C.
A.confirmed his assumption     
B.speeded up his research process
C.disagreed with his assumption                         
D.changed his research objectives
64.Rothschild might have concluded that ichthyosaursA.
A.failed to evolve an anti decompression means    
B.gradually developed measures against the bends
C.died out because of large sharks and crocodiles  
D.evolved an anti decompression means but soon lost it.

20.However wealthy we may be,we can never find enough hours in the day to do everything we want.Economics deals with this problem through the concept of opportunity cost,which simply refers to whether someone's time or money could be better spent on something else.
Every hour of our time has a value.For every hour we work at one job we could quite easily be doing another,or be sleeping or watching a film.Each of these options has a different opportunity cost-namely,what they cost us in missed opportunities.
Say you intend to watch a football match but the tickets are expensive and it will take you a couple of hours to get to and from the stadium.Why not,you might reason,watch the game from home and use the leftover money and time to have dinner with friends?This-the alternative use of your cash and time-is the opportunity cost.
For economists,every decision is made by knowledge of what one must forgo-in terms of money and enjoyment-in order to take it up.By knowing precisely what you are receiving and what you are missing out on,you ought to be able to make better-informed,more reasonable decisions.Consider that most famous economic rule of all:there's no such thing as a free lunch.Even if someone offers to take you out to lunch for free,the time you will spend in the restaurant still costs you something in terms of forgone opportunities.
Some people find the idea of opportunity cost extremely discouraging:imagine spending your entire life calculating whether your time would be better spent elsewhere doing something more profitable or enjoyable.Yet,in a sense it's human nature to do precisely that-we assess the advantages and disadvantages of decisions all the time.
In the business world,a popular phrase is"value for money."People want their cash to go as far as possible.However,another is fast obtaining an advantage:"value for time."The biggest restriction on our resources is the number of hours we can devote to something,so we look to maximize the return we get on our investment of time.By reading this passage you are giving over a bit of your time which could be spent doing other activities,such as sleeping and eating.In return,however,this passage will help you to think like an economist,closely considering the opportunity cost of each of your decisions.

58.According to the passage,the concept of"opportunity cost"is applied toD.
A.making more money 
B.taking more opportunities
C.reducing missed opportunities 
D.weighing the choice of opportunities
59.The"leftover…time"in Paragraph 3probably refers to the timeC.
A.spared for watching the match at home 
B.taken to have dinner with friends
C.spent on the way to and from the match 
D.saved from not going to watch the match
60.What are forgone opportunitiesB?
A.Opportunities you forget in decision-making.
B.Opportunities you give up for better ones.
C.Opportunities you miss accidentally.
D.Opportunities you make up for.

17.(Reuters)-A Malaysia Airlines flight carrying 227 passengers and 12 crew was presumed to have crashed off the Vietnamese coast on Saturday,and European officials said two people on board were using false identities.
There were no reports of bad weather and no sign of why the Boeing 777-200ER would have vanished from radar screens about an hour after it took off from Kuala Lumpur for Beijing.
"We are not ruling out any possibilities,"Malaysia Airlines CEO Ahmad Jauhari Yahya told a news conference.
By the early hours of Sunday,there were no confirmed signs of the plane or any wreckage,well over 24 hours after it went missing.Operations will continue through the night,officials said.
There were no indications of sabotage (蓄意破坏) nor claims of an attack.But the passenger list issued by the airline included the names of two Europeans-Austrian Christian Kozel and Italian Luigi Maraldi-who,according to their foreign ministries,were not in fact on the plane.
A foreign ministry spokesman in Vienna said:"Our embassy got the information that there was an Austrian on board.That was the passenger list from Malaysia Airlines.Our system came back with a note that this is a stolen passport."
Austrian police had found the man safe at home.The passport was stolen two years ago while he was travelling in Thailand,the spokesman said.
The foreign ministry in Rome said no Italian was on the plane either,despite the inclusion of Maraldi's name on the list.His mother,Renata Lucchi,told Reuters his passport was lost,presumed stolen,in Thailand in 2013.
U.S.and European security officials said that there was no proof of any terrorist link and there could be other explanations for the use of stolen passports.

35.What was Ahmad Jauhari Yahya's attitude?A
A.Uncertain.B.Negative.C.Positive.D.Confident.
36.According to the passage,the foreign ministry spokesman in Vienna had made sureC
