Others are scratching themselves to death because of a mite（螨虫） infection. Only 115 of one species - the northern hairy-nosed wombat - remain aliv
20、e in the wild. Wombats are endemic to Australia. They are found nowhere else. A wombat looks like an overgrown, stocky guinea pig, covered with thick grey fur and with a wide, flat, broad forehead. Fully-grown adults are about a meter long and about half a meter tall. They weigh about 40kg. But whil
21、e their looks are pretty straightforward, people throughout history have found it less easy to understand their behavior. The Aborigines(土著居民) seem to have mixed feelings about them, According to one story, the wombat once said he was more powerful than the sun. After a competition, however, the wom
22、bat lost, and so today hides from shame, deep down in a hole. But another Aboriginal story tells of how wise the wombat can be. He comforts the other animals in the forest, after their friend, a cockatoo, has died, explaining to them all about forest spirits. Wombats are strong diggers, with very po
23、werful front legs and sharp claws, usually used to dig winding holes in the ground for their homes. Yet despite their strong appearance, these animals are struggling to survive. Many have been suffering a lot from a foreign mite, from foreign foxes, introduced for hunting by the early English settle
24、rs of Australia. Because of scratching, scars form over the wombats eyes and ears, and infections occur, finally causing their death. Its population is so small that the group is becoming inbred(近亲繁殖的). Competition with cattle and sheep for grass to eat, drought, bushfires, as well as dingo and fera
25、l dog attacks have all whittled away wombat numbers. But fortunately, a group of committed volunteers and scientists, working with the local government, has now put up fences to protect the wombats from meat-eating animals, made holes for extra shelter, and is working with zoos to create developing
26、programs. These conservationists are well aware they have little time left.26. Where can we find a wombat? A. Austria B .Australia . C. China D. America27. The underlined word “endemic” in Paragraph 2 probably means_. A. attractive B. unique C. dangerous D. foolish28. According to the passage, womba

28、g to Survive. D. Northern Hairy-Nosed Wombat Remaining Alive.C Today, people all over the world are moving out of small villages in the country to go and live in big, noisy cities. They are moving from the peaceful hills, mountains, fields, rivers and streams of the countryside to the busy world of
29、streets, buildings, traffic and crowds. This movement from rural areas to urban areas has been going on for over two hundred years. In many countries, the main reason people come to live in towns and cities is work. After one or two large factories have been built in or near a town, people come to f
30、ind work, and soon an industrial area begins to grow. There is usually a_residential_area nearby, too. The families of these workers need schools, hospitals and shops, so many people come to live in the area to provide these services and a city grows.In every major city in the world, there is a busi
31、ness district where the big companies have their main offices. In the United States, this area is usually in the city center downtown. It is here that you can see many huge skyscrapers(摩天大楼) and office blocks. The people who work here often travel a long way to work each day. Many of them live in th
32、e suburbs of the city, far away from the industrial area and the city center. Some suburbs are very pleasant, with nice houses and big gardens. There are usually parks for children to play in and large department stores where you can buy all you need.But what is the future of the big cities? Will th
33、ey continue to get bigger and bigger? Perhaps not. Some major cities have actually become smaller in the last ten years, and it is quite possible that one day we will see people moving out of the major cities and back into smaller towns and villages.30Why do people move to live in cities or towns?AB
34、ecause they can live more comfortably there.BBecause they like noisy life better than peaceful life.CBecause they mainly want to find work there.DBecause they are sure of having a better life there.31The underlined phrase “a residential area” means an area_.Awhere people can buy thingsBwhich is suit

However, lazines
43、s can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind. 36 Many people lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendenc
44、y to put off things. By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest, you can fight laziness throughout the day.Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task. Others
45、take a more positive approach, viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone. 37 Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations(诱惑) that surround them. A television in the living room may provide entertainment, but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness. 38 Complete a
46、 few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy, such as a good dinner or a film.Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home. Couples and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately. 39 Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a
47、meal. Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task. It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people. 40 Enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle, thus enabling you to have more energy and help
48、 lift your spirits. A. To fight family laziness, set an example. B. Knowing how to fight laziness is important. C. One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep. D. Finally, taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness. E. With strong determination, you will be able to achieve your goal.
49、 F. Laziness appears when you no longer feel in charge of your own mind. G. Create a reward system for yourself, just as parents do for a child.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。Things have been kind of difficult lately for Shannon Baker and he
