By then, scientists say, global warming will have melted 42 percent of the Arctic sea ice. By 2100, only a very few of these important creatures will be left.The report has been produced by the US Geological Survey. The scientists have publicized their findings in the hope of influencing US Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne, who has been asked to put polar bears on the US endangered species list.Polar bears depend on floating sea ice as a platform for hunting seals, which are their main food. Without enough ice, polar bears would be forced to go onto the land, where they are poorly skilled hunters, and would be unlikely to adapt to the life on the land in time. Experts say few little bears would survive and the stress could make many females unable to get pregnant.The team of American and Canadian scientists spent six months studying bears, on the ground, from spotter planes and in the lab，using puter models. Some team members fear the result is even worse for the bears than what their report says. They say the Arctic is warming faster than anywhere in the world and much faster than their puter had been forecasting. Satellite observations have showed that the ice has decreased to an alltime low.However, not everyone in the scientific munity believes that global warming is happening on such an alarming scale. Another investigation has found that polar bears are still being hunted by wealthy “sportsmen” who want their skins and heads. At least ten international panies offer bearhunting trips.21. What do we know about Dirk Kempthorne according to the passage?A. He is an animal scientist.B. He is a protector of animals working for the US government.C. He was asked to put polar bears on the US endangered species list.D. He offered to put polar bears on the endangered species list.22. Why will polar bears die out if there is not enough sea ice?A. Because polar bears cant catch enough food without ice.B. Because polar bears eat ice when they feel thirsty.C. Because polar bears will be easily found by hunters without ice.D. Because most female bears are used to giving birth under ice.23. After a sixmonth study, some scientists fear that_. A. there is something wrong with their putersB. polar bears will disappear even faster than they ever expectedC. their puter models are not as accurate as they expectedD. global warming will destroy everything in the ArcticBOne of the most famous buildings in the United States is Carnegie Hall, the home of classical and popular music concerts in New York. Carnegie Hall is known not just for its beauty and history, but also for its amazing sound. Carnegie Hall is named after Andrew Carnegie, who paid for its construction. Construction of Carnegie Hall began in 1890 and the official opening night was on May 5th, 1891.The hall was owned by the Carnegie family until 1924 when it was sold to Robert E Simon. The building became very old and in 1960, the new owner made plans to destroy it and build an office block. Isaac Stem led a group of people who fought to save Carnegie Hall and finally, the city of New York bought it for $5 million. It was then fixed up between 1983 and 1995.Advertisements and stories in newspapers about how Carnegie Hall needed help to recover its history led people to send in old concert programmes and information from all over the world. Over 12,000 concert programmes were received and with these it was possible to make a proper record of Carnegie Halls concert history.Carnegie Hall is actually made up of several different halls, but the Main Hall, now called the Isaac Stem Auditorium, is the most famous. The hall itself can hold an audience of 2,804 in five levels of seating.Because the best and most famous musicians of all time have played at Carnegie Hall, it is the dream of most musicians who want to be great to play there. This has led to a very old joke which is now part of Carnegie Halls history. Question: “How do I get to Carnegie Hall?” Answer: “Practice, practice, practice.”24. It can be inferred that people wanted to save Carnegie Hall mainly because_. A. it made a lot of moneyB. it was worth visitingC. many important concerts were held in itD. it made some players bee famous25. How did Carnegie Hall recover its concert history?A. Through newspaper reports.B. Through old concert programmes.C. Through old photographs.D. Through old jokes.26. Why is the Carnegie Hall joke funny?A. Because you expect the answer to be directions but not advice.B. Because Carnegie Hall is a place where musicians practice a lot.C. Because it is difficult to find your way to Carnegie Hall.D. Because you dont expect the answer to repeat the same word three times.27. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. The history of Carnegie HallB. The best musician having played in Carnegie HallC. A joke about Carnegie HallD. The dream of most musiciansCUnlike most other holidays, the history of April Fools Day, sometimes called All Fools Day, is not totally clear. The only point in time that can be agreed on as the beginning of this tradition was 1582, in France. Before that year, the New Year was celebrated for eight days, beginning on March 25th. The celebration reached the highest point on April 1st. With the reform of the calendar under Charles IX，the Gregorian calendar(公历，阳历) was introduced, and New Years Day was moved to January 1st.However, because in those days munications were not as developed as they are today, many people did not receive the news for several years. Some people refused to accept the new calendar and continued to celebrate the New Year on April 1st.These backward people were considered “fools” by other people. They were often sent on “fools” errands(徒劳无益的工作) or were made the targets of jokes.This developed, over time, into a tradition of playing a trick on someone on the first day of April. The tradition eventually spread to England and Scotland in the eighteenth century. It was later introduced to the American colonies of both the Britain and France. April Fools Day thus developed into an international fun feast, so to speak, with different nationalities specializing in their own kind of humor at the expense of their friends and families.28. According to an earlier calendar, New Years Day in France was _.A. March 25th B. January 1stC. April 1st D. April 3rd29. Which of the following first had the tradition of celebrating the April Fools Day？A. France. B. England.C. Scotland. D. America.30. What was peoples attitude towards the new calendar？A. They accepted it happily.B. They refused it immediately.C. Some recognized it.D. Some laughed at it.31. The passage mainly tells us _.A. what the French did on April Fools DayB. how April Fools Day came into beingC. when was the new calendar introducedD. why some people were fooled in FranceDMy favourite book is The Adventure of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain. Tom lives with his aunt Polly in a quiet street of St. Petersburg, Missouri. Hes a lively and clever young boy, and he finds himself in many exciting adventures. He runs away with his two friends, Huck Finn and Joe, to an island in the middle of the Mississippi River for several days. With Huck he goes looking for treasure, with Becky he gets lost in a cave. And finally, they find a box of gold.My favourite scene in the book is when everyone thinks Tom is dead. He decides to go to his own funeral. He hides and watches for a time and then suddenly he appears. Everyone is astonished to see him but theyre also pleased to see him alive.Tom is the hero of the story, but there are other important characters. Huck is an outsider and everyone is afraid of him. Becky is pretty with fair hair, Joe is Toms best friend. And Injun Joe is the bad man of the story.The theme of the story is about children growing up. It describes how strangers are seen in small towns of America. Finally, it talks about freedom, social rules and how people are punished for bad behaviour.Why do I think The Adventure of Tom Sawyer is a great book? Mark Twain wrote the story in 1876, but its still read and loved by people all over the world today. And although its only a story, Twain wrote it in the everyday English of the southern states of America in the 19th century, so it sounds very real. Today its thought to be one of the greatest books in American literature. Go onread it! I know youll enjoy it, too.32. Where does Tom run away with his two friends?A. To a quiet street. B. To a small town.C. To an island. D. To a forest.33. Who is the bad man in the story?A. Huck Finn. B. Injun Joe.C. Becky. D. Polly.34. How did people feel when Tom appeared at his own funeral?A. They were surprised and happy.B. They were surprised and sad.C. They were worried and excited.D. They were frightened and happy.35. The writer writes the article to _.A. ask us to read the bookB. tell us how popular the book is todayC. tell us when Mark Twain wrote the storyD. tell us why the story sounds very real第二节 （共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 After a long day at work, ing home is a breath of fresh air.
