是不正确，并且有可能是恰恰相反的。因此AB选项错误。作者在第五段指出，公认的坏学校里也有很优秀的老师．而公认的好学校里也有非常差劲的老师，总结起来就是：是否一所学校里所有的老师都是能干的跟这所学校学生的整体表现没有关系，因此C项正确。作者在第六段一开始就指出，教师们不应该为那些自己不能掌控的因素负责，具体到本文的论点，也就是说教师不应该为学生学术表现的差距负责，这是他们掌控之外的因素，D项观点刚好跟作者观点背道而驰。Thekoala,cuddlysymbolofanationandoneofthemostbelovedanimalsontheplanet,isincrisis.BeforeEuropeanssettledAustraliamorethantwocenturiesago,abouttenmillionkoalaslivedina1,500-mile-longswathoftheeastcoasteucalyptusforests.Huntedfortheirluxuriousfur,koalaswerebroughttotheedgeofextinctioninthesouthernhalfoftheirrange.Inthenorthernhalf,Queensland,amillionwerekilledin1919alone.AfterthelastopenseasoninQueenslandwasheldin1927,onlytensofthousandsremained.Throughthenexthalfcenturytheirnumbersslowlyrebounded,inpartduetoeffortstorelocateandrecolonizethem.Thenurbanizationbegantotakeitsloll.Habitatwaslost,anddiseasesspread.Withurbanizationcamethethreatofdogsandhighways.Since1990,whenabout430,000koalasinhabitedAustralia,theirnumbershavedroppedsharply.Becausesurveysaredifficult,currentpopulationestimatesvarywidely—fromalowof44,000byadvocacygroupstoahighof300,000bygovernmentagencies.MorethanadecadeagoasurveyoftheKoalaCoast,a93,000-acreregioninsoutheasternQueensland,estimatedakoalapopulationof6,200;todaytherearebelievedtobearound2,000."Koalasaregettingcaughtinfencesanddying,beingkilledbydogs,struckbyvehicles,evendyingsimplybecauseahomeownercutdownseveraleucalyptustreesinhisbackyard,"saysDeidredeVilliers,oneofthechiefkoalaresearchersattheQueenslandDepartmentofEnvironmentandResourceManagement.DeVilliersinsiststhatkoalasandhumanscancoexistinurbanenvironments,ifdevelopersgetonboardwithkoala-sensitivedesigns,suchaslowerspeedlimitsforstreets,greencorridorsforkoalamovement,and,mostespecially,preservingeverypreciouseucalyptustree.Unfortunately,koalashaveanotherproblem."Diseaseistheotherhugeissue,"saysveterinarianJonHanger,42,fromtheRoyalSocietyforthePreventionofCrueltytoAnimalsinQueensland.HangerhasdiscoveredthatasmuchashalfofQueensland'skoalapopulationmaybeaffectedbythesexuallytransmitteddiseasechlamydiosis.Insomewildkoalapopulationsmorethan50percentofthesexuallymaturefemalesareinfertile.Thegenesisofthediseaseisunknown,butitmanifestsitselfasurogenitalandoculardiseaseandistransmittedthroughmatingandbirthing,aswellasfightingamongmales.Unlikeinhumans,chlamydiosisinkoalasisoftenfatal."Koalapopulationsthatusedtobevibrantandsustainablearebecomingextinct,"saysHanger,whoputstheblamesquarelyontheprovincialgovernment."Queenslandhasfailedmiserablytodoanythingmeaningfulaboutthedecline.Thefederalgovernmentneedstogetinvolvedanddoitproperly,listingthekoalaasvulnerabletoextinction."Suchadesignationmightsavethelastremnantsofcriticalkoalahabitat,heargues.Hangerisalsopartofaresearchteamdevelopingachlamydiavaccine.ArecentreportpresentedtotheAustralianSenatemadeseveralrecommendationstosavethekoalas,includinglistingtheanimalsasthreatenedandvulnerable,fundingaprogramtomonitorkoalapopulations,mappingtheirhabitat,andmanagingfederalandprivatelandstoprotectthekoalas.Untilsuchmeasuresaretaken,theeffortsofgrassrootskoalaemergencysquadswillcontinuetobeessential.6、Whichoneofthefollowingmostaccuratelyexpressesthemainpointofthepassage?A、Koalapopulationshavedroppedsharplyinthepastcenturyduetothreatofdogsandhighways,lostofhabitatandspreadofdiseases.B、SincediseaseisahugeissuethatcausestheextinctionofKoalas,theresearchdevelopingachlamydiavaccineisurgentandcritical.C、TheeffortstosaveKoalapopulationsthatarebecomingextinctbecauseofdifferentreasonsrequireinvolvementfrombothgovernmentandgrassrootsgroups.D、Inorderforkoalasandhumanstocoexistinurbanenvironments,developersshouldgetonboardwithkoalasensitivedesigns.标准答案：C知识点解析：本题考查考生对文章大意的理解。文章前两段回顾了考拉在过去的两个世纪数量的变迁，分析了造成考拉数量起伏的原因，第三段列举了城市化对考拉的威胁以及作者本人对保护考拉的一些想法，第四段分析了造成考拉濒临灭绝的另一个重要原因——疾病，第五段指出拯救考拉需要政府的参与，最后一段给出了一些具体措施。C选项较全面的概括了大意。A选项是时文章前两段的概括，不全面。B、D选项只是文章中的某个观点，均不能概括文章大意。7、AccordingtothetextwhichoneofthefollowingsisnotareasonthathascausedKoalanumbersdecrease?A、HuntedfortheirluxuriousfurB、LostofhabitatC、SpreadofdiseaseD、Climatechange标准答案：D知识点解析：本题考查考生对文中所述考拉数量减少的各种原因的理解。前四段都是在讲造成考拉数量减少的原因。第一段的第三句说到为了得到考拉昂贵的皮毛，人们对他们大肆猎捕，使得居住区域南半部分的考拉陷入灭绝的边缘，因此A选项正确。第二段第二、三两句提到由于城市化进程的影响，考拉失去了栖息之地，后面提到考拉数量急剧下滑。因此B项正确。C选项出现在文章里的两个地方，第一次出现是在第二段第三句，同样由于城市化的影响，考拉不仅失去了栖息之地，而且疾病蔓延，狗和公路对考拉的威胁也随之而来。第二次出现是在第四段，整段都在讲述衣原体病对考拉的巨大影响，因此C项也正确。D项是作者故意设置的干扰选项，是个很诱人的原因，但是全文并没有任何地方提到，因此D项错误．8、JonHangerwouldbemostlikelytoagreewithwhichoneofthefollowingrecommendationstosavethekoalas?A、ListingtheanimalsasthreatenedandvulnerableB、FundingaprogramtomonitorkoalapopulationsC、MappingtheirhabitatD、Managingfederalandprivatelands标准答案：A知识点解析：本题考查考生对第五、第六两段中关于乔恩·汉格尔的主张以及关于拯救考拉的建议。ABCD四个选项均是第六段关于近期一份呈交澳大利亚参议院的报告对于保护考拉作出的建议，考生需要做的是从这四个选项中选出乔恩·汉格尔最有可能同意的一个。乔恩·汉格尔在文章中第四段开始出现，第四段整段都是关于他对于衣原体病对考拉的威胁，第五段才开始讲到他关于保护考拉的观点，第五段第三句明确指出他认为联邦政府需要参与进来，恰当处理，把考拉列为濒危物种。第四句讲到他认为这种标示可能挽救主要栖息地里仅存的那些考拉。把考拉列为濒危物种也就是A选项所说的“把考拉列为易受威胁与侵害动物”，是同一个意思，因此A选项正确。9、Basedonthesecondparagraph,thereasonKoalanumbersslowlyreboundedthroughthenexthalfcenturyisthat______.A、Speedlimitsforstreetswaslowered.B、Greencorridorsforkoalamovementwerebuilt.C、Peoplepreservedeverypreciouseucalyptustree.D、Peoplerelocatedandrecolonizedthem.标准答案：D知识点解析：本题考查考生对文章细节的注意，难度较低，只要按照题目回到第二段中寻找，很客易选出正确答案。丈章前两段回顾了在过去的两个世纪里考拉数量的起伏。第二段一开始就说接下来的半个世纪，考拉的数量经历了缓慢的上升，这部分归功于人们为卡拉重新开拓领地和安置的努力，因此D选项正确。ABC均是第四段中德雷·迪·维利艾斯的观点，是应对城市化对考拉造成的威胁而主张采取的措施，并非第二段所述接下来的半个世纪考拉的数量缓慢上升的原因。10、WhichoneofthefollowingmostaccuratelyidentifiestheattitudeshownbyJonHangerinthefifthparagraphtowardgovernment’sroleinsavingKoalas?A、ScholarlyappreciationforitslongstandingeffortsB、StrongrebukethatithasfailedmiserablytodoanythingmeaningfulaboutthedeclineC、MilddisappointmentthatitdidnotlistthekoalaasvulnerabletoextinctionD、Openapprovalofitsresistancetogetinvolved标准答案：B知识点解析：本题考查考生通过人物所说的话时人物所持的态度进行判断能力。在第五段中。一开始汉格尔就直截了当的指责省政府，认为昆士兰州政府没有采取任何行动是非常差劲的。关键词是“blame(指责)”，“squarely(直截了当)”，“failed(失败的)”，“miserably(糟糕的)”，“anything(任何事)”．从这些感情色彩非常强烈的用词当中，我们可以看出乔恩·汉格尔对于政府在拯救考拉过程中所扮演的角色是强烈的不满和谴责，因此B项正确。AD都是恰恰相反的选项，汉格尔认为政府不作为，并且表示强烈不满。C项错在“轻微的失望”，从文字当中可以看出汉格尔感情色彩强烈，不是轻微的不满。Everyindividualpossessesauniquequalitythatdifferentiateshimorherfromotherpeople.Whetheritisacharmingpersonality,brilliantintellectoranynumberofdifferingtraits,eachpersonisacontributingcomponenttotheworldinwhichwelive.Weareallpiecesofagrandpuzzle,eachpiecevitaltothecompletionandcreativityofavividmasterpiece.Intertwinedinthecycleoflife,weallstrivetobethebest,persistentuponbeingnoticedorrecognizedamidstvastdiversity.Indoingso,someforgettheinfluencesthathelpedtomoldthemintothepersonthattheybecameandfallcenteredinaworldoftheirown.Othersgrowsoself-involvedthattheyarenolongerconsciousoftheirsurroundingsandareunawarethatevolutionissharedandnotisolatedtoone'sself.Hence,thenarcissistisborn.Withinfluencesfromthenewsandothermedia,weareconstantlysteeredinthedirectionofthosewhoaremostglamorousandfamous.It'snotoftenweseeatycoonthatpubliclyworriesabouthisimage.Whywouldhe?Thethoughtisthatonceyou'vereachedacertainstature,nothingelsematters.Ourchildrenarcstrivingforthis"liquid"status."Itwon'tmatterwhatanyonethinksifI'mrichandfamous."Thisgrowingtrendofnarcissismisdecayingourhumanity.Weareraisedtoacceptourselves,butsometakethisself-acceptancetooverindulgentlengths,placingselfatoppedestalsaboveeveryoneelse.Thenarcissistbecomesdesensitizedtothefeelingsofotherpeople,treatingthemasiftheywerebutanotherobstacle.Thistypeofpersonisintolerantoftheflawsandsometimes,theveryexistenceofotherpeople.Sadly,thenarcissistisoftenconsumedbyangerandhatredandbreedssuchhatredthroughouttheworld.Aswithavirus,thisangerandimpatienceisspreadfrompersontoperson,acontagiousdominoeffectofnegativity.Oursocietywillsurelyfalltoitsdemiseifthiswickedmentalityisnotchanged.Ifoneonlythinksofself,therewillnolongerbecharityorgoodwill.Misfortunatechildrenwillgohungryandunclothed.Ourelderswillnotbecaredforandcommunitieswillnotbeabletorebuildifstrickenbytragedy.Itseemsthatovertime,manyhaveforgottenhumilityandtheabilitytobebumble.Ithasbecomea"dog-eat-dog"world,everymanforhimself.Thiskindofmentalitymustbechangedifweintendforourchildrentoleadproductivelives.Itistheunityofmankindthatwillimprovetheworldandmakeitabetterplaceforourfuturegenerations.11、Welearnfromparagraph1thateveryindividual______.A、issomewhatglamorousnomatterwhoheisB、contributestothecreationofagrandpuzzleC、isdifferentfromotherpeopleinintelligenceD、playsapartinimprovingtheworldwelivein标准答案：D知识点解析：根据第一段后两句中的“eachpersonisacontributingcomponenttotheworldinwhichwelive”和“eachpiecevitaltothecompletionandcreativityofavividmasterpiece”可知，该段的核心意思是，每个人对于建设美好的世界都能发挥应有的作用。所以，D应为答案。12、Theauthorsuggeststhatanarcissistissomeonewho______.A、lovesandadmireshimselfexcessivelyB、ischaracterizedbyapathyandisolationC、isinterestedinnothingbutbeingnoticedD、strivestobethebestthroughthickandthin标准答案：D知识点解析：根据第二段中的“persistentuponheingnoticedorrecognizedamidstvastdiversity”．“fallcenteredinaworldoftheirown”和“growsoself—involved”可知，自恋者以自我为中心，忘记了周围的世界。所以，A应为答案。13、Theexampleoftycoonisgiveninparagraph3toshowthat______.A、peopleareeagertobecomeglamorousandfamousB、wealthypeopleareindifferenttotheirappearancesC、moreandmorepeoplearepursuingself-centeredlifeD、richpeopleareextremelyworriedabouttheirimages标准答案：C知识点解析：第二段讨论产生自恋的原因后，第三段说人们受到各种影响而渴望出人头地，以为变成“tycoon”那样的人就可不必在乎别人对自己的看法。第三段实际上谈的是自恋主义不断增强的趋势。所以，C应为答案。14、Withthetrendofnarcissismgrowing,thesocietymightbedominatedby______.A、aversion,rage,andhatredB、impatienceandintoleranceC、egotism,vanity,andconceitD、deleterioushumanmentality标准答案：D知识点解析：根据第四段第一句可知，自恋主义不断增强的趋势正在腐蚀人性，使人的心态变坏。选项A、B、C说的都是具体的有害心态，选项D与该段主要意思一致。所以，D应为答案。15、Thetextiswrittento______.A、provethegreatvalueofcharityandgoodwillB、urgepeopletoovercomethenegativementalityC、explaintheharmfulnessofnarcissismtosocietyD、encouragepeopletouniteinchangingtheworld标准答案：B知识点解析：本文第一段说明每个人对建设美好世界都能发挥作用，第二、三段分析了自恋不断增强的原因，第四、五段分析了自恋这种不良心态的危害，最后一段劝我们改变不良心态，团结起采，共同建设美好世界。所以，B应为答案。Theideaofhuntingdownandshootingananimalforsportstrikesmanypeopleasbarbaric.Thatisdoublytrueoftrophyhunting,wherethegoalisnotfoodbutahandsomeheadorsetofantlersforthewall.Saditmaybe,butthebalanceofevidenceisth
