确且流畅。.推理判断题。根据文章第三段中蒂特顿所说的话Alotofskillsareneededforthejob.及后面的具体说明可知,乐谱翻页员需要掌握多种技能,包括必须确保不要同时翻两页,并确保乐谱有重复演奏的部分时,需要翻回乐谱正确的位置。由此可知,该工作有很高的要求。.细节理解题。根据文章第四段中的Silentonstagecommunicationiskey,andeachpianisthastheirownstyleof"nodding"...whichtheyneedtopractisewiththeirpageturner.可知，在舞台上演出时，钢琴家与乐谱翻页员的默契非常重要,每个钢琴家都有自己的“点头”示意风格,所以乐谱翻页员需要和钢琴家不断练习，慢慢磨合，以使翻页员能够明白钢琴家”点头”的含义。由此可知，蒂特顿需要练习识别钢琴家”点头”的含义。.细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中的He'sinterestedinthemusic,feelingeverynote,andIhavetosay:Turn,turn!，可知,钢琴家玛丽亚的丈夫经常陶醉于音乐中而忘记翻乐谱，以至于玛利亚得提醒他翻页。所以钢琴家玛丽亚称她的丈夫是“最差的乐谱翻页员，7.答案：1-4ACDA解析：1.细节理解题。根据第一段中的Millionsofwaterfowlwerekilledatthehandsofmarkethunters...Millionsofacresofwetlandsweredriedto...greatlyreducingwaterfowlhabitat.可知，猎人的捕杀和湿地变干导致的栖息地的减少是水禽数量减少的重要原因。.词义猜测题。根据第一段最后两句可知,大量水禽被捕杀,且随着居住人口的增加,大量湿地变干，水禽的栖息地也随之大大减少,从而导致了水禽数量减少。因此,此处指那些探险家和定居者毁坏了很多的自然资源。destroy意为"毁灭;破坏，与画线词意思相近。.细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句中的About98centsofeveryduckstampdollargoes...Fundtopurchasewetlandsandwildlifehabitat和倒数第二句Since1934,betterthanhalfabilliondollarshasgoneintothatFundtopurchasemorethan5millionacresofhabitat.可知,自1934年通过该法案以来,政府已募集了很多资金。.主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了北美水禽等野生动物遭遇猎杀及其栖息地被破坏后，政府通过一项法案以防止破坏的持续发生，并取得了明显成效。文章第二、三段介绍了联邦鸭票的起源、具体做法及成效，尤其是文章第三段最后一句起到点题的作用。故A项(联邦鸭票的故事)适合作为本文标题。.答案：1-4DBAB解析：1.细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的Many,peoplenowmisunderstandemotionalintelligenceasalmosteverythingdesirableinaperson'smakeupthatcannotbemeasuredbyanIQtest,suchascharacter,motivation,confidence,mentalstability,optimismand"peopleskillsJ可知，如今，许多人都误认为情商是一个人的品性、积极性、自信、心理稳定性、乐观和”人际交往能力”等几乎所有值得拥有的品质。由此可知,大众对情商的误解是认为情商指一个人的优良品质。.推理判断题。根据第二段第一句Weprefertodescribeemotionalintelligenceasaspecificsetofskillsthatcanbeusedforeithergoodorbadpurposes.可知，人们更喜欢把情商描述为一套特定的技能，可以用于好的或是坏的目的；再根据第二段第二句Theabilitytoaccuratelyunderstandhowothersarefeelingmaybeusedbyadoctor...whileacheatermightuseittocontrolpotentialvictims,可推矢口，本段提及医生和诈骗者是以其为例阐明本段首句提出的观点。推理判断题。根据第三段中的theoveralleffectsofthepublicityhavebeenmorebeneficialthanharmful和Themostpositiveaspect…可知，作者认为对情商这一概念的关注所产生的整体效果利大于弊,并列举了情商概念大众化的积极方面，由此可推知，作者对情商概念大众化持赞成(favorable)的态度。主旨大意题。通读最后一段并根据最后一段中的wehopethatsuchattentionwillexciteagreaterinterestinthescientificandscholarlystudyofemotion和Itisourhopethatincoming...可知,最后——段主要阐述了对于未来有关情商的研究的期待。9.答案：1-4ABAC解析：1.主旨大意题。第一段最后一句Nowscientistshavefiguredouthowtotapintothatmovementtoproduceelectricity.引出下文第二段的具体讲解,再结合第二段内容可知,该段主要讲述该发电设备是如何工作的，故选A项。2•细节理解题。根据第三段中的Volunteerscarriedthepackwhilewalking及theenergy-harvestingpack可知,这个设备是在志愿者行走时收集能量,故选B项。.词义猜测题。根据下文theenergy-harvestingdevicecurrentlyweighsfivepounds...fourpoundstoomanytobeasmartalternative可知，此处描述该装置存在的问题；画线词在此处意为”难题”,故选A项。.细节理解题。根据最后一段中的Sotheyhopethatmoreresearchlets...toinsurethepackchargesupwithoutweighingyoudown.可知,研究者接下来会研究如何减轻设备的重量，以确保背包在不拖累你的情况下充电,故选C项。10.答案：1-4DBDB解析：1.推理判断题。根据第二段中的Itrequiresaverylargelivingplaceandagreatdealofattention.以及Similarly,theballpython...requiresspecialconditionstosurvive.可知，无论是关注程度还是生活空间,主人都不可能提供给这些异域动物原有的生活环境，由此可推知,人类饲养的异域宠物过得不是很惬意,故选D项。2.细节理解题。根据第三段中的Exoticpetowners...inordertofeeladeepconnectiontothenaturalworld.可知,这些宠物主人购买这些异域动物是为了感受与自然世界的密切联系，故选B项。3•细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的Thisnon-nativespeciesmultipliedquickly,seriouslythreateningtheFlorida'secosystem...someemerginginfectiousdiseases可知，随意饲养异域动物会破坏本地生态系统、危害人类健康;D项中固定搭配puJatrisk意为”使……处于风险中”，故选D项。4.主旨大意题。根据第一段中的Butundomesticatedpetsmayaffectthehealthandsafetyofboththeanimalsandthepeoplewhokeepthem.以及最后一段最后一句Petownershipofanykindisaseriousresponsibility...underthecareofhumans.可知,将未驯化的动物养为宠物不但会危害动物的健康和安全,还会给人类带来不好的影响,而且饲养任何种类的宠物都是一项严肃的责任,不能随意抛弃，由此可推知,本文主要论述的是人们不应该饲养那些未经过驯养的异域动物,故选B项。PaulBeer,headofrhinosectionatPortLympne,said:"Obviouslywe*reallabsolutelydelightedtowelcomeanothercalftoourblackrhinofamily.She'shealthy,strongandalreadyeagertoplayandexplore.Hermother,Solio,isafirst-timemumandsheisdoingafantasticjob.Ifsstillalittletoocoldforthemtogooutintotheopen,butassoonastheweatherwarmsup,Ihavenodoubtthatthelittleonewillbeoutandaboutexploringandplayingeveryday."Theadorablefemalecalfisthesecondblackrhinobornthisyearatthereserve,butitistooearlytotellifthecalveswillmakegoodcandidatestobereturnedtoprotectedareasofthewild.ThefirstrhinotobebornatPortLympnearrivedonJanuary5tofirst-timemotherKisimaandweighedabout32kg.Hismother,grandmotherandgreatgrandmotherwereallbornatthereserveandstilllivethere.AccordingtotheWorldWildlifeFund,theglobalblackrhinopopulationhasdroppedaslowas5500,givingtherhinosa"criticallyendangered"status..Whichofthefollowingbestdescribesthebreedingprogramme?A.Costly.B.Controversial.C.Ambitious.D.Successful..WhatdoesPaulBeersayaboutthenew-bornrhino?A.Shelovesstayingwithhermother.B.Shedislikesoutdooractivities.C.Sheisingoodcondition.D.Sheissensitivetoheat..WhatsimilarexperiencedoSolioandKisimahave?A.TheyhadtheirfirstborninJanuary.B.Theyenjoyedexploringnewplaces.C.Theylivedwiththeirgrandmothers.D.Theywerebroughttothereserveyoung..WhatcanbeinferredaboutPortLympneReserve?A.Therhinosectionwillbeopentothepublic.B.Itaimstocontrolthenumberoftheanimals.C.ItwillcontinuetoworkwiththeWorldWildlifeFund.D.Someofit
