21、nny afternoon. I had a smile on my face as I sang along to the songs on the radio. It was such a beautiful day that I felt full of happiness.

They were standing in the middle of the road with two on either side of the light. They looked rough and dangerous, but as I got closer I noticed each one was

23、 holding their helmet in their hands. I rolled down my window as one approached my car. “We are the Brother of the Wheel，” he said. “We are collecting money for Christmas Toy Drive for needy children.” As I pulled a dollar out of my wallet I looked past his beard and into his eyes. They shined with

24、goodness and kindness that came right from his soul. I dropped the money in his helmet and waved to the other bikers as I drove off. My good mood had returned.

28、get larger with increased carbon dioxide in atmosphere, but changes in temperature, humidity(湿度) and nutrient availability（养分有效性） seem to trumped the benefits of increased carbon dioxide，” said researchers from the National University of Singapore.45 percent of the species studied now reach smaller

29、adult sizes than they did in the past. The researchers pointed out that warmer temperatures and changing habitats, caused by climate change, are possible reasons for shrinking(缩小的) creatures.“We do not yet know the mechanisms（原理） involved, or why some organism are getting smaller while others are un

30、affected，” the researchers said. “Until we understand more, we could be risking negative consequences that we cant yet quantify.”The change was big in coldblooded animals. Only two decades of warmer temperatures were enough to make reptiles（爬行动物） smaller. An increase of 1 degree centigrade caused ne

31、arly a 10 percent increase in metabolism (新陈代谢). Greater use of energy resulted in tiny tortoises and little lizards. Fish are smaller now too.

Many birds are now smaller. Mammals have been miniaturized too. Soay sheep are thinner. Red deer are weaker. And polar bears a

33、re smaller, compared with historical records.This is not the first time this has happened in Earths history. 55 million years ago, a warming event similar to the current climate change caused bees, spiders and ants to shrink by 50 to 75 percent over several thousand years. That event happened over a

34、 long time than the current climate change.The speed of modern climate change could mean organisms may not respond or adapt quickly enough, especially those with long generation times. So, it is likely that more negative influences of climate change will be shown in future.39Which of the following w

35、ould be the best title for the passage? _AWhy do some species become smaller?BSpecies become smaller as climate warmsCClimate change has many negative effectsDHow does temperature change in Earths history?40The underlined word “trumped” in the first paragraph can be replaced by _.Abeen neglected by

38、ng species to become smaller has never happened before. DTraditional businessmen feel worried that growing ecommerce will reduce their share of the market.According to a survey, 90% of some peoples purchases are made on the computer. As they find that by being able to go online and choose the things

39、 that they need to choose, and have them delivered right to their doorsteps, they could no longer be bothered with driving, the crowds, the noise of that, and they usually get a better selection.Cornell University Marketing Professor, MeLaughlin says traditional stores can keep their customers by of

40、fering goods like clothing, which customers may want to see and try on before purchasing, as well as items that are difficult to ship. He says some traditional stores are also pleasing customers with services that set up or repair computers and electronics.Traditional stores also offer a social expe

41、rience that some shoppers enjoy. There is still a lot of emotion in the buying decision that takes place. Oftentimes, you need that last sense of “this is exactly what I want” before you part with money. And you cant always get that online. Its a rather cold process.As more and more people have Inte

42、rnet access and smart phones, online commerce is likely to continue its growth here in the United States and in other countries.43Traditional businessmen feel upset because _.Aconsumers can get a better selection by shopping onlineBgrowing online sales will cut their share of the marketCpeople like

43、to have their goods delivered to their houseDmore and more people purchase things on the computer44According to McLaughlin, some traditional stores are keeping customers by _.Adelivering goods to each doorstepBinviting customers to try on clothingCproviding customers with extra services Drepairing c

45、nning of the year, smog(雾霾) has covered parts of North China. In January, Beijing saw only five days without smog. The rising PM2.5 readings terrified many people, and some health experts said that whenever the smog gets serious, hospitals receive more patients suffering acute respiratory (呼吸系统) and

46、 heart diseases.Later, news of polluted underground water in some provinces scared people who wondered whether the water they drink is safe.So the need to emphasize environmental protection while developing the economy is heard everywhere.Smog is especially a common concern. As a popular online post

47、 said, air may be the only thing that is equal for everyone, despite your income or profession. People with higher incomes are able to drink only bottled spring water and eat only organic food by paying higher prices, but they breathe the same air as everyone else.At a meeting on Monday, many repres

48、entatives have expressed their concerns about the air quality, too. One talked about his experience in Beijing. “After taking a taxi from the capital airport to my hotel, which took about an hour, I washed my nose and found the inside of my nose was black. We should ask ourselves this question Why d

49、o we want to develop? Its for living a better life. Dirty air is definitely not a better life，” he said.China needs to develop its economy and invest (投资) in hightech. Every Chinese has a dream to make China stronger. But without blue sky, clean water and safe food, the achievements in the economy w

50、ill become meaningless. Space technologies are not to be developed for building a base on Mars so that one day all human beings can move to the red planet because they have destroyed Earth.What the public wants is a strong and beautiful China.

51、gress and build a beautiful China.

58、vely inexpensive way to enjoy the outdoors with yourself, friends or family. A good pair of binoculars（双筒望远镜） is a must and preferably a good book on birding to go along with it. You can get a good pair of binoculars for as little as $70 or spend as much as $1000 for a pair. If youre just starting o

59、ut, go with a good and reasonably inexpensive pair to get started. I prefer a lighter-weight pair of binoculars for a little more money. With the constant movement of your head and neck to observe birds, its best to go with a lightweight pair to ease the strain on your neck. 2 A good book on birding

60、 is in order as well. Stokes Field Guide to Birds is ideal because all the entries are actual photographs of the birds that you are searching for, and not artists drawings which are sometimes not quite as accurate. I have several books on birding, including Kaufman Field Guide to Birds of North Amer

61、ica, and Roger Tory Petersens Field Guide to Birds which I would recommend as well.3 Last but not least, find a park, nature center, or wildlife sanctuary (庇护所) to enjoy your bird-watching in. There are tens of thousands of places such as these to enjoy your newly-found hobby in. Some places charge

62、a fee; most places dont require any kind of charges. Its entirely up to you to decide where you want to go. Check your local government buildings, recreational departments, or websites for further information. You could just as easily take a walk around your home, your property, or your neighborhood

63、. . A simple, lazy ride in your car on some country road, near lakes, streams, or rivers will be all you need to find the birds. There is no place that you will not find a bird or two. So go out and enjoy. 56. What is the main idea for the text? (no more than 8 words)_57. What kind of binoculars doe

64、s the author recommend? (no more than 9 words)_58. Fill in the blank in Paragraph 3 with proper words. (no more than 5 words)_59. What does the word “it” (Line 5, Paragraph 1) probably refer to? (no more than 6 words)_60. List three places for bird-watching. (no more than 6 words) _第二节 短文改错(共l0小题；每小

74、n we held on whether it is good to keep animals in zoos. Those who favor the idea think it provides chances for people to see wild animals. It might also develop peoples love for animals and nature. Besides, animals in zoos can be protected from danger in the wild.However, those who are against the

75、idea think that its a waste of money and labor to keep animals in the zoo. Itll also damage the balance of nature. Animals will lose their freedom if caged in the zoo. I personally feel it is wrong to take animals away from their natural living areas and keep them locked up. Yours sincerely, Li Huawith those reasons mentioned above form second part. and I think human cant make all the animal entertaining them!
