给还是不给

当一个脏兮兮、衣衫褴褛的人跪在你脚下，伸出双手乞求几枚硬币时，你是匆匆忙忙忙地不知如何是

好，还是伤心地匆匆递上一些钱？我们对乞丐应该持什么态度？毫无疑问，这个世界充满了可怕的悲伤故

事。不知道下一顿饭从哪里来一定很可怕。不给乞丐钱似乎很残忍。

当然，世界上大多数伟大的宗教都要求我们敞开心扉，与那些不如我们自己幸运的人分享我们所拥有的，

但是世界改变了吗？也许在过去，当一个人确切地知道村里谁遭受了不幸并需要帮助时，道德上正确的做

法不再是最好的主意。不少人不肯给乞丐，让我们看看他们的论点。

首先，有人认为许多城市乞丐故意打扮成可怜的样子

以乞讨为生。给予乞丐只会鼓励这种行为邪恶。其次有人担心你给的钱会花在啤酒、酒或毒品上。第

三，有人认为乞讨没有真正的借口。一个人可能很穷，但这并不是丧失自豪感和自立感的理由。

与此相关的是，这个问题应该由政府而不是普通人来解决，一些人认为乞丐应该去当地政府部门接受

帮助。

很难得出最后的结论，有各种各样的情况，我们必须区别对待。在某些情况下，几枚硬币可以拯救一

条命，即使浪费了金钱，也不能取代给予者的道德良善。

注解：

1.religion[rilidgan]n.宗教，宗教信仰

2.morallyfm3：rali]adv.道德上地,道义上地

3.misfortune[mis'fo:t^）n]n.不幸，厄运，逆境；不幸事故，灾难

4.pitiable['pitisbl]a.引人怜悯的，可怜的

5.evila.邪恶的，坏的n.邪恶，罪恶，祸害

语法点拨：

Whenaratherdirty,poorlydressedpersonkneelsatyourfeetandputsouthishandstobeg

forafewcoins,doyouhurryon,notknowingwhattodo,ordoyoufeelsadandhurriedly

handoversomemoney?

分析：句中poorlydressed为过去分词作定语,彳修饰person,相当于apersonwhoispoorlydressed.

notknowingwhattodo为现在分词否定式作伴随状语。体会下列现在分词作状语的用法：

1），/Can,tyouread?”Marysaidangrily,pointingtothenotice.（伴随）

“难道你不识字吗？”玛丽指着通知愤怒地说。

2）Havingreadtheletter,shegotveryexcited.（原因）

大熊猫面临着食物短缺的威胁

科学家们声称，由于一直以来受到低繁殖率和栖息地快速流失的威胁，中国濒临灭绝的大熊猫如今又

因气候变化而陷入失去它们的主食一一竹子的危险之中。

大约270只大熊猫栖息于中国西北部的秦岭山脉地区，这占世界野生大熊猫总数的五分之一。据这一

地区的调查研究推测，随着全球变暖本世纪竹子的产量将平稳下滑。

“除非大熊猫能够找到另外一种食物资源来代替竹子，否则它们将很可能面临食物短缺的困境。大熊

猫可是个挑剔的食客。”

大熊猫的食物中99%都是竹子，它们平均每天吃掉的竹子达到38千克。竹子本身再生率低，每30年至

35年为一个生长周期，这也就意味着竹子适应当地气候变化的过程很慢。

根据这个调查得出的数据，调查者预测随着气候越来越暖，三种竹子将濒临灭绝。而这三种竹子正是

几乎秦岭地区的大熊猫的全部食物源。

调查研究的发起者们写道：调查结果表明到21世纪末秦岭地区基本上所有大熊猫的栖息地将很可能消

失。

滥伐森林正在在并且已经威胁着世界上将近一半种类的竹子的生存。

调查者说到自古以来竹子的分布状况都随着气候的变化而波动。不过在现代，即使其他地区从气候因

素上来讲更适合竹子的生长，但是这些地区与目前大熊猫保护区相隔太远，没有重合区。

这些调查结果应该用于主动保护计划中，保护那些有更好的气候条件提供充足的食物资源的地区，或

者为大熊猫搭建起快速摆脱饥荒的自然通道。

重点单词：

1.breeding['bri:d®n.繁殖，饲养

2.pickyfpkiladj.挑剔的；吹毛求疵的

3.deforestation[,di,foriste^n]n.采伐森林；森林开伐

4.famineffasmn]n.饥荒；饥饿，奇缺

答案解才

A

【答案】CADA

【解析】这是一篇说明文。本文主要讲了近年来很多地区有近百分之三十的蜜蜂死亡，而对于它们的死因，

有研究表明是由农药造成的，有人认为农药不是死亡因素之一。

1.主旨大意题。本文主要讲了近年来很多地区有近百分之三十的蜜蜂死亡，而对于它们的死因，有研究表

明是由农药造成的，有人认为农药不是死亡因素之一。所以短文的最佳标题为“杀虫剂可能会伤害蜜蜂”。

故C选项正确。

2.推理判断题。由第三段中Leggett说的话”Thenumberofcolonies（蜂群）thatdieeverywinterhas

beenoneinthree.Soonaverage30percentofthecolonieshavediedeverywinteroverthelast

sixwinters.Andthat'sahugenumber.n可知，Leggett认为每年百分之30的蜂群死亡是一个巨大的

数字，由此判断出他对于蜜蜂的死亡数字是很担心的。故A选项正确。

3.推理判断题。由文中第四段的MrOhlingerthinkswidespreadbeedeathiscausedbyseveralthings

happeningatonce.Buthedoesnotfeelsurethatpesticidesareapartoftheproblem,可知

Ohlinger先生认为蜜蜂大面积死亡是由几件事同时发生造成的。但他不确定农药是不是导致原因的一部分。

由此判断出从第五段我们可以知道，KeithOhlinger怀疑杀虫剂是否杀死了他的蜜蜂。D选项正确。

4.推理判断题。文中最后•段讲到Honeybeesareimportanttoagriculture.,也就是说蜜蜂对于农作物

很有用，所以研究蜜蜂的死亡很有必要，所以这篇文章可能来自农业部分，故A选项正确。

B

【答案】ABD

【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了一些科学家们的有趣的最新发现：小狗能够理解人们的意思，

并有作出相应判断的能力。

5.细节理解题。根据文章第二段末尾句内容“Itsword-learningskillsareasgoodasthoseofaparrot

orchimpanzee.”可知，这里将这只狗的词汇学习能力与鹦鹉，黑猩猩相比较，提及它的词汇学习技能和

鹦鹉或黑猩猩一样好。由此可知，黑猩猩有很好的词汇学习能力。故选A项。

6.推理判断题。根据文章第三段内容“Asthedogcouldn'tseeanyonetogetclues,thescientists

believeluckymustunderstandthemeaningsofcertainwords.（由于狗看不到任何人来获取线索，科

学家们认为Lucky一定理解某些单词的意思。）”和文章第五段内容"Thecorrectobjectwaschosenin

sevenoutof10tests,suggestingthatthedoghadworkedouttheanswerbyprocessof

elimination.（在10次测试中，有7次选择了正确的对象，这表明狗通过排除法找到了答案）”可知，第一

个实验表明Lucky能够理解某些单词含义才能在执行指令方面很成功；第二个实验则证明了Lucky在已认

知的基础上利用排除法识别未认识的物体。因此可推知这两个实验表明Lucky能够识别不同的东西，包括

玩具在内。故选B项。

7.推理判断题。文章末尾段落内容提出了作者的目的意图“Still,itwouldn,thurttosweet-talkyour

dogeverynowandthen.Youmightjustgetabig,wetkissinreturn!（不过，偶尔对你的狗说些

甜言蜜语也无伤大雅。你可能会得到一个大大的湿吻作为回报!）”呼应话题，呼吁对自己的狗要友好，狗

会给与回报。选项D"Tobefriendlytoyourdog.（对你的狗友好。）”符合文意，表达了作者的心声。

故选D项。

C

【答案】BDB

【解析】这是一篇应用文，本文是芬兰食品管理局发出的一封共同抵御动物疾病，特别是非洲猪瘟的通知

（具有强制性质）
