They say development, climate change and bus
2、hfires have all combined to reduce the number of wild koalas sharply. The Australian Koala Foundation said a recent survey showed the population could have dropped by more than half in the past six years. Previous estimates (估计) put the number of koalas at more than 100,000, but the latest calculati
3、ons (计算) suggest there could now be as few as 43,000. The foundation collected field data from 1,800 sites and 80,000 trees to calculate the numbers. In one area in northern Queensland estimated to have 20,000 koalas a decade ago, a team of eight people could not find a single animal in four days of
4、 searching.The foundation said besides problems caused by cutting down forests, hotter and drier conditions because of global warming had reduced the nutritional (营养的) value of their staple food, eucalyptus leaves, leading to poor nutrition for them. Koalas, which live in the forests in Australias e
5、ast and south, are very fussy (爱挑剔的) about what types of the leaves they eat. Foundation chief Deborah Tabart said: “The koalas are missing everywhere we look. Its really no tree, no me. If you keep cutting down trees you dont have any koalas.” She is hoping the new figures will persuade the governm
6、ents Threatened Species Steering Committee (TSSC) to list the koala as threatened. But committee chairman Bob Beeton said a decision was not likely recently and the koalas status as one of the countrys favourite animals would not be a factor. “Theres a number of species which are attractive and peop
7、le have special feelings towards them. We dont consider that,” Mr Beeton was reported as saying by the AFP agency. 5.The writer gives the example of the area in northern Queensland in Paragraph 3 to show that _.A. the forests are being damaged heavilyB. the environment is being polluted seriouslyC.
8、the number of koalas is dropping quicklyD. koalas usually live in wild mountainous areas6.

10、ideo at a dinner party have led to an investigation into the incident and a suspension of his programs.The video, released online on Monday, showed host Bi Fujian using vulgar words about Chairman Mao Zedong while singing in the style of Peking Opera, enraging（激怒） some netizens and causing a stir on
11、 the Internet.CCTV said on its micro blog on Wednesday that it will investigate the incident, which it said many have found disturbing.Bis programs will stop being broadcast until at least Sunday, as his comments in the video have seriously damaged the broadcasters image, Huaxi Metropolis Daily quot
12、ed a CCTV staff member as saying.The CCTV employee said it is uncertain whether the programs can be broadcast again after Sunday, the report added.Bi, 56, is popular for a hosting style that engages the audience. He has hosted the CCTV Spring Festival Gala since 2012, as well as a popular talent sho
13、w involving Westerners speaking Chinese. The cancellation was the first decision after Nie Chenxi was named CCTV president on Tuesday, the report said, adding that Nie had ordered all staff members to strictly correct work styles.A micro-blogger named Zhou Junchi said that free speech doesnt mean it
14、 is OK to defame others, adding that Bis comments were not proper for a popular host. Cheng Manli, a professor specializing in communication at Peking University, echoed Zhou, saying Bi should pay more attention to his behavior and speech as a public figure.“It does not mean we cannot share our opin
15、ions, but using ugly words and sarcasm to comment on Chinese leaders who have passed away is improper,” Cheng said.“The actions and words of celebrities are easily broadened in todays Internet era, which is open and can have a huge influence, so it is a must for the public figures to boost the quali
16、ty of their speech and behavior. Otherwise, their images will be affected, such as the stars who were recently punished for drug use,” she said.“Everyone should take responsibility for what he or she says in public and online. Its better, I think, to share different ideas in a normal way,” she sugge
17、sted. But she added that the party in the video seemed private, “so its release is also improper to some extent.”The video was recorded by someone sitting on Bis right, but who it is and why the video was put online is unknown. 32. According to the passage, CCTVs response when the incident happened
18、was _. A. to change his jobB. to have Bi Fujian firedC. to look into the matterD. to make him apologize 33. We can learn from the passage that _. A.

20、nionsD. it is all right to release private video of a celebrity35. The underlined word “boost” probably means “_”.A. cover B. improve C. influence D. solveC With a large part of the worlds population living close to the oceans, rising sea levels bring the potential for destructive (破坏性的)results. But
21、 scientists are still unable to make predictions exact enough for people to plan to handle the loss of land and the threat to coastal communities expected over this century. “We know sea level is going to rise, but how much, and how fast, and where, we really still dont know, said Josh Willis, a cli
22、mate scientist. The ocean isnt like water in a bathtub. It doesnt rise all the same as more water pours in. As global warming raises sea levels, some places are expected to see higher-than-average increases, and a few places, may even see decreases. Its reported that over the course of this century,
23、 sea levels will rise between 8 inches and 6.6 feet around the planet. Scientists know this increase will be driven by the expansion of water as it warmswarmer water takes up more spaceand the melting of ice. But the effects of warming water and melting ice on sea-level rise are expected to vary fro
24、m area to area. And the melting of ice of the Antarctic and Greenland presents the largest uncertainty for the future, but air, land and water also play roles in changes to sea level. For example, sea level near the ice getting melt actually decreases, because the ground under the melting ice rises
25、as the heavy ice disappears.Climate change is expected to change ocean currents and the winds that help drive ocean currents. These changes will affect the distribution of heat within the oceans, and, as a result, affect changes in sea level. Nowadays, scientists use two types of models to make pred
26、ictions about the future of sea levels, but the two dont agree. If scientists cant accurately predict sea-level increase for the coming years, the least we can do is measure what happening today with the help of the satellite, Jason-2, but its reaching the end of its operational life. 60. The first
27、paragraph implies that_ . A. coastal cities are easily affected by the rising sea levels B. people living in coastal communities have to moveC. scientists have ways to handle the rising sea levels D. the rising sea levels mainly happens near the coast61. What does the writer mean by saying The ocean
28、 isnt like water in a bathtub in the third paragraph?A. There is too much water for us to control.B. The ocean can be easily controlled. C. The ocean isnt equal to a bathtub in size. D. The rising sea level is hard to tell. 62. According to the text, which of the following shows the right cause and
29、effect? climate change; ocean currents; the winds; changes in sea level; the distribution of heat A. B. C. D. 63. What problems will scientists meet with in predicting future climate changes? A. Its too difficult to measure whats happening. B. There will probably be no satellites to help the scienti
30、sts.C. Types of models for prediction are difficult to set up.D. There arent enough scientists studying the changes of sea levels.D In late summer or early fall the large, yellow seed heads of sunflowers will be ripening. If gardeners can keep off the birds and other wildlife trying to eat the seeds
31、, they can have a large harvest. The bright yellow blooms will make a rainbow garden, brightening up any space.However, planting the sunflower seeds is a skilled job. Plant seeds no deeper than the full length of itself. Smaller sized sunflowers can be spaced a foot apart. Larger varieties will need
32、 to be spaced as far apart as three feet. This allows ripe plants enough space for the seed heads to ripen without knocking the ripe seeds off before gardeners have a chance to harvest them.Most sunflower seeds, especially those with eatable seeds, are large enough to handle without the need for see
33、d sorters. This is why sunflowers make an excellent choice for a childrens garden as well. Gardeners will want to mix plenty of soil fertilizers into the ground as sunflowers tend to be heavy feeders.Sunflowers can be slow starters and the tiny new plants dont seem to grow very rapidly. Gardeners sh
34、ould protect the new plants as they begin to grow. Once they get going, sunflowers are able to outgrow many weeds, making them easier to grow in the home vegetable garden than many other plants.Most pests and diseases are not a bother to the sunflower, however, more than one gardener has said that t
35、heir lovely looking plants were ravaged overnight by hungry squirrels, mice or birds. To preserve their harvest, gardeners can cover the ripening seed head with stockings or net cloth to help keep the destroyers off the seeds.Planting sunflower seeds is easy and can help even the smallest gardener f
36、eel successful in their gardening attempts.28. What is the passage mainly about?A. How to plant sunflowers. B. Different kinds of sunflowers.C. Ways to preserve sunflowers. D. Tips on making your garden bright.29. Why should enough space be left between sunflowers?A. To prevent birds from eating sun
37、flower seeds.B. To offer the sunflowers enough sunlight.C. To protect the ripe seed heads before harvest.D. To help the sunflowers grow stronger.30.

38、ssary to sort.C. Sunflowers dont need too much soil fertilizer.D. Tiny new sunflowers can grow very fast.31. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “ravaged” in Paragraph 5?A. Destroyed. B. Covered. C. Surrounded. D. Removed.第二节 （七选五 共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有
