The head is small ，with a large set of feathers on the top ， bright r

19、ed eyes ， and blue skin. Its nearest relatives are the common birds ， cuckoos. Its most striking feature， though ，is only found in the young.Baby hoatzins have a claw on the leading edge of each wing and another at the end of each wing tip. Using these four claws ， together with the beak（ 喙 ） ，they

20、can climb about in the bushes， looking very much like primitive birds must have done.When the young hoatzins have learned to fly ， they lose their claws.During the drier months between December and March hoatzins fly about the forest in groups of 20 to 30 birds ，but in April ，when the rainy season b

21、egins ，they collect together in smaller living units of two to seven birds for producing purposes.Whendanger comes in the form of a snake or a monkey， the young hoatzins maybe three in one family jump over the side and into the river.

22、n， using their claws， lift themselvesup through the branches and get back home.

27、e to waste ， Andy sped off in the opposite direction ， ridingfuriously but without knowing how to escape the swarm.With a rapidly beating heart and his legs pumping furiously ，he sped down the rough road. As the bees came closer ， his panic increased. Andy knew that he was sensitive to bee stings（蜇）

Use your brain and think your way outof it.On a nearby hill，he could see smoke waving slowly skywards from the chimneyof the Nelson familyhome. “Bees dont like smoke，he thought.They couldn

30、tSuddenly ，out of the corner of his eyes ， he spotted a small damused by Mr. Nelson to irrigate his vegetable garden. Off his bike and into the cool water he dived，disappearing below the surface and away from the savage insects. After holding his breath for as long as he could ，Andy came up for air

31、and noticed the bees had gone. Dragging himself out of the dam，he struggled up the hilly slope and rang the doorbell. Mrs. Nelson took him inside and rang his mother.“Youll really need that fishing break to help you recover ， ”laughed his mother with relief. “Thank goodness you didnt panic ！” But An

36、 n or a pla nt pot and wait for it to flower.A biodegradable mobile phone was , this month , introduced by scie ntists .It is hoped that the new type of phone will en courage con sumers to recycle.Scie ntists have come up with a new material over the last five years .I t lookslike any other plastic

37、and can be hard or soft, and able to change shape.Over timeit can also break down into the soil without giving out any harmful chemicals.British researchers used the new material to develop a phone cover that contains a sun flower seed.When this new type of cover turns into waste ， it forms nitrates

38、（ 硝酸盐 ） These feed the seed and help the flower grow.Engineers have designed a small transparent window to hold the seed.They have made sure it only grows when the phone is thrown away.“ Weve only put sunflower seeds into the covers so far.But we are working with plant experts to find out which flow

39、ers would perform best.Maybe we could put roses in next time ，” said one scientist.As phone technology is developing so quickly people are always throwing their mobiles away.This means manufacturers are under pressure to find ways of recycling them.Some 650 million mobile phones have been sold this

40、year.Most of them will be thrown away within two years ， adding plastic ， heavy metal and chemical waste to the environment.A biodegradable cover can offer some relief for nature， according tothe scientists.“ The seed is released and the flower grows in the pot so you dont have to concern yourself w

41、ith the phone when you have finished using it，” said Kerry Kirwan.Sheleads the research team， which is based at the University of Warwick in Britain.54 After you have finished using the new type of mobile phone， .A the sunflower seed will come out and flower wherever you throw it B the phone cover w

44、yB consumers tend to throw away their mobile phones within two yearsC nobody has ever thought of recycling mobile phonesD producing mobile phones uses a lot of energy， so this has become a very bigproblem for the environment57.

45、n the marketB. the new type of mobile phone will sell extremely wellC. recycling mobile phones is increasingly important to the environmentD. other flowers may be used in the new type of cell phoneDEvery year more people recognizethat it is wrong to kill wildlife for“ sport ”. Progress in this direc

46、t ion is slow because shooti ng is not a sport forwatching , and only those few who take part realize the cruelty and destruction.The number of gunners , however, grows rapidly.Children too young to developproper judgments through independent thought are led along way away by their gunning parents.T

47、hey are subjected to advertisements of gun producers who describe shooting as good for their health and gun carry ing as a way of putt ing redder blood in theveins（血管）.They are persuaded by gunner magazines with stories honoring the chase and the kill.In school they view motion pictures which are su

48、pposedly meant to teach them how to deal with arms safely but which are actually desig ned to stimulate（朿 9激）a desire to own a gun.Wildlife is disappearingbecause of shooting and because of the loss of wildlandhabitat（ 栖息地）.Habitat loss will continue with our increasing population , but can we slow

49、the loss of wildlife caused by shoot ing ? There does nt seem to be any cha nee if the serious condition of our birds is not improved.Wildlifebel ongs to every one and not to the gunners alon e.Althoughmost peopledo not shoot , they seem to forgive shooting for sport because they know little or noth

50、ing about it.The only answer, then , is to bring the truth about sport shooting to the great majority of people.Now, it is time to realize that animals have the same right to life as we doand that there is nothing fair or right about a person with a gun shooting the harmless and beautiful creatures.

51、The gunners like to describe what they do as character-building , but we know that to wound an animal and watch it go through the agony of dying can make nobody happy.If , as they would have you believe , gun carrying and killing improve human character, then perhaps we should encourage war.58 . Acc

52、ording to the text , most people do not seem to be against hunting because.A. they have little knowledge of itBit helps to build human characterCit is too costly to stop killing wildlifeD they want to keep wildlife under control59The underlined word “agony” in the last paragraph probably meansA form

53、B conditionC painD sadness60It can be inferred from the text that the author seems to.A blame the majority of peopleB worry about the existence of wildlifeCbe in favour of warDbe in support of character-building答案I .l.pollinate2.balcony 3.exotic 4.conflict5.botanist8.passed on 9.is attached todate f

54、rom 意为“追溯到”。n .6.date back to/date from 7.on a large scale 10.beyond description川.11.选B句意：这些古代建筑物可能会追溯到明朝。12选 B 本题考查定语从句。 vase 与 price 构成所属关系，因此用介词 of，the price of which 相当于 whose price 。13选 A 此句为强调句型，强调伊丽莎白和史密斯相遇的地方是新西兰。It is/was被强调部分 that/who 从句。因此此处应选 that 。14选 C 句意：她与他保持一段距离直到他证明他值得信任。 keep sb.

55、at a distance 意为“不与某人太亲近”。15选 B 当 not only.but also连接两个并列主语时，谓语动词的形式应采用就近原则。16选 A apple 是可数名词，此句中为泛指类属，所以应该用 an apple ；hit sb. on the head是固定结构，此结构中身体部位前必须用定冠词the。故选A项。17选 C fail to do sth. 意为“失败做某事；干某事未成功”。18选 B 本题考查分词作定语。因为 hang 是不及物动词，体现状态，所以用现在分 词作后置定语。19选 A 句意：达尔文相信我们人类是由猩猩转化而来的。 evolve 意为“进化”。20选 B 本题考查动词用法。 forbid sb. to do sth. 禁止某人干某事； allow doing允许干某事。定语从句中缺少宾语，因此需要用关系代词 which。that不能引导非限制性定语从句；what不能引导定语从句； where 在定语从句中作状语。22选 C take up “从事或开始 （某项工作） ” ，符合句意“在医学院学了五年后，简 在乡下当了一名医生”。set out开始，出发”；take over接管，接收”；set up 建 立”。23.选B the same as 表示同一类；the same that 表示同一个。故 B项符合常理。24
