         Leading investors have joined the growing chorus of concern about governments and companies
    rushing into producing biofuels as a solution for global warming, saying that many involved in the sector
    could be jeopardizing future profits if they do not consider the longterm impact of what they are doing
    carefully.
         It is essential to build sustainability criteria into the supply chain of any green fuel project in order to
    ensure that there is no adverse effect on the surrounding environment and social structures.The report
    produced by the investors expresses concern that many companies may not be fully aware of the potential pitfalls in the biofuel sector.
         Production of corn and soya beans has increased dramatically in the last years as an ecofriendly
    alternative to fossil fuels but environmental and human rights campaigners are worried that this will lead to
    destruction of rain forests.Food prices could also go up as there is increased competition for crops as both foodstuffs and sources of fuel.Last week, the UN warned that biofuels could have dangerous side effects
    and said that steps need to be taken to make sure that land converted to grow biofuels does not damage
    the environment or cause civil unrest.There is already great concern about palm oil, which is used in many
    foods in addition to being an important biofuel, as rain forests are being cleared in some countries and
    people driven from their homes to create palm oil plantations.
         An analyst and author of the investors'report says that biofuels are not a cure for climate change but
    they can play their part as long as governments and companies manage the social and enviromental
    impacts thoroughly.There should also be greater measures taken to increase efficiency and to reduce
    demand.
    1. What is the best title of this passage?

    Leading the way

    　　They may not have been at the heart of the action on court, but these cheerleaders(拉拉队)know how important it is to make themselves heard．

    　　“We have an unshakeable(坚定不移的)belief in the power of cheering to make a difference,” said Xu Chan, a Senior 2 girl at the High School Affiliated(附属的)to Beijing Normal University．She has every reason to be confident．Xu and her schoolmates were named the best cheerleading team at the Reebok Beijing High School Basketball League final on February 15．

    　　The 12-member squad(队)performed at every home match, their not hot dances and passionate cheers pushing games to an exciting climax(高潮)．They usually perform during timeouts(中场休息)and breaks．But while encouraging the team on court is important, the girls also have personal reasons for taking part．“Dancing is a good way to keep fit,” Xu said．

    　　Xing Yue, a student at No．50 high school, found that cheerleading had made her more organized．“I’m the oldest student on the team so I have to take charge when the teacher is not there,” she said．“I have to remind my teammates what they must do．As a result I have become more observant(遵守纪律)．”

    　　However, many girls are unsure if they will be able to carry on cheerleading due to growing study pressures．For Wu Tong, a Senior 2 student at Hepingjie No．1 High School, last week was definitely her swan song．Having failed to achieve the grades she’d hoped for, her parents have said the cheerleading must stop．But she will take away some happy memories of performing in the basketball league．

    　　“We are the best, we believe in ourselves,” she said．“We didn’t win this time so I hope the girls go on to realize their dreams next year．”

    III．阅读理解
    The blue tits(山雀) have been inspecting the nest-box again this year. The male is the house-hunter but the female will make the final choice. He lands at the hole and turns his head to expose his white cheeks as a signal to attract the female from where she has been feeding.
    Among many birds that nest in holes, the male has a light-coloured patch on its plumage(鸟羽) which acts as signal for drawing the female’s attention to a suitable nesting-place. Unlike the blue tit, the redstart(红尾鸲) may be only the male that strikingly coloured and the female is not beautiful.
    A few years ago I was lucky enough to spot a pair of redstarts in action in a Walsh wood. The male was leading an interested female to holes that he had previously(先前) checked out. He sat at the entrance of each hole and put his head on to show off his white forehead, or his head in to reveal(显露) his tail.
    If the female failed to react to his visual signals, the male sometimes sang for extra effect, while gliding towards her on spread wings and tail. Once the female accepts by following the male through the hole the displays stop, you must be at the right place at the right time to watch them.
    36. How do the blue tits choose their nest?
    A. They choose their nest together.     
    B. The male chooses their nest.
    C. The house-hunter chooses their nest.
    D. The female chooses their nest.
    37. The writer was lucky to see ________.
    A. how the male made his tricks
    B. how an interested female played with the male happily
    C. what the male displayed and won the female
    D. that the male tried his best but failed to attract the female
    38. You can spot a pair of redstarts in a Walsh wood ________.
    A. at any time        B. regularly    C. in April    D. occasionally
    39. The writer is probably ________.
    A. a bird expert     B. a bird-hunter   C. a bird raiser   D. a scientist

    阅读下列短文，然后从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
    You’ve no doubt heard people say how much they “need” a holiday，when what they really mean is that they want one．Certainly，people working under pressure feel a very strong desire to escape from work and become less tight during their holidays，and experience a changed environment．

    Ⅲ.阅读(共两节，满分40分)

    第—节  阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)

    阅读—列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

             Thailand’s giant pandas have finally produced a baby. Chiang Mai zoo director Thanapath said eight-year-old female Lin Hui gave birth to a baby panda weighing about 200 grams.

         The pandas, Lin Hui and Chuang Chuang, the zoo’s star residents(居民), had shown no interest in reproducing the traditional way since they both arrived on a 10-year loan from China in 2003. The zoo workers’ effort of artificial insemination(人工授精) worked. The baby panda will officially belong to China but Thailand will raise it for about 24 months, Thanapath said.

         Thanapath said Lin Hui is very protective of her child and won’t allow any officials to get close. “She holds the baby very carefully.” he said. “She knows how to be a mother even though she has never been one before.” The baby panda appears to be getting along well with its much larger mother.

         The birth appeared on the front pages of many Thai newspapers, which carried photos of the baby which is so tiny that it can be held in the hands of a zoo keeper. Other pictures showed the mother Lin Hui gently holding her baby. Thanapath said, “It is great happiness to see the baby panda.We are so happy that we can breed（繁殖）a panda. Every worker at the zoo is proud and I think every Thai will be proud too.”

        Breeding pandas is a common practice in China, where dozens are born each year. But it is a rare thing outside of the country. Giant pandas are among the world’s most endangered animals. Nearly 1,600 pandas are believed to survive in China and about 180 are being raised in zoos worldwide.

       A. will be sent to China in two years        B. is her second baby

    43. From Paragraph 3 we learn that Lin Hui_______________.

       A. doesn’t know how to protect her baby

       B. allows people to touch her baby

       C. loves her baby very much

    44. We can infer that Lin Hui’s giving birth_________________.

       A. set a good example to China          B. was hot news in Thailand

       C. was a result of good luck             D. attracted the world’s attention

    45. The fact that breeding pandas is a common practice in China indicates that_________________.

       A. all pandas in the world should live in China

       B. few countries in the world want to breed pandas

       C. pandas won’t be in danger in the near future

       D. China plays a leading role in breeding pandas
