25、ccupies a special position in the history of human knowledge.For many thousands of years it was a field about which humans had a great deal to learn.It is impossible to know today just what our Stone Age ancestors knew about plants,but from what we can observe of pre-industrial societies that still
26、exist,a detailed learning of plants and their properties must be extremely ancient.This is logical.Plants are the basis of the food pyramid for all living things,even for other plants.They have always been important to the benefit of people,not only for food,but also for clothing,weapons,tools,dyes,
27、medicines,shelters,and a great many other purposes.Tribes living today in the jungles of the Amazon recognize hundreds of plants and know many properties of each.To them,botany has no name and is probably not even recognized as a special branch of “knowledge”at all.Unfortunately,the more industriali
28、zed we become the farther away we move from direct contact with plants,and the less definite our knowledge,and few people will fail to recognize a rose,an apple,or an orchid.When our ancestors,living in the Middle East about 10,000 years ago,discovered that certain grasses could be harvested and the
29、ir seeds planted for richer harvests the next season,the first great step in a new association(联系)of plants and humans was taken.Grains were discovered and from them flowed the wonder of agriculture:cultivated crops.From then on,humans would increasingly take their living from the controlled product
30、ion of a few plants,rather than getting a little here and a little there from many varieties that grew wildand the accumulated(积累)knowledge of tens of thousands of years of experience and close contact with plants in the wild would begin to fade away.21.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.Ea
31、rly humans knew nothing about plants.B.Early humans probably had extensive knowledge of plants.C.Early humans had little knowledge of plants.D.Early humans did not enjoy the study of botany.答案:B解析:细节理解题。第一段倒数第二句作者认为“a detailed learning of plants and their properties must be extremely ancient”,并且认为这个
32、结论是符合逻辑的(logical),故选B项。22.In Paragraph 1 the underlined word “properties” refers to .A.the belongings of early humansB.the wealth of ancient peopleC.the characteristics or qualities of plantsD.land and buildings答案:C解析:词义猜测题。全文出现property的地方有两处,除了第一段之外,在第二段倒数第二句话还能找到。观察其搭配,可发现这个词两处都与plants有关,可猜出其意思与人类
33、无关,故选C项。23.Tribes living today in the jungle of the Amazon.A.dont know anything about plantsB.recognize botany as a branch of scienceC.first give the name of botanyD.are experts of plants答案:D解析:细节理解题。从第二段可以看出,住在亚马逊丛林中的部落人能认识数百种植物,并熟悉它们的属性。故选D项。BFor thousands of years humans have used herbs,roots and
34、 other things from nature to cure disease.Scientists looking for new cures often visit traditional healers.They find out what plants are used in healing.Then they look at what the plant contains.They find the active ingredient,which is the chemical in the plant that works to heal.Many of the drugs w
35、e use,including aspirin,have come from these natural medicines.In recent years,many people in the USA have been taking what are legally known as dietary supplements.They may be vitamins or minerals.They may be herbs that help with health problems,such as depression.Some of them are teas.Others are c
36、apsules or tablets.They are sold in natural food stores,drug stores,and groceries.Most people think that because these products are natural and they are also safe.This is not always true.There are many plants that are poisonous.There are others that have bad side effects.The New England Journal of M
37、edicine publishes medical research.A recent edition called for the government to regulate dietary supplements.Several doctors wrote to the journal and told of bad experiences people have had with dietary supplements.Dietary supplements arent tested in the same way as drugs.There is not always proof
38、that the supplement really does what it is supposed to do.There is also a problem with purity of the supplement.Supplements have been found to contain things that are bad for the body.For example,the California Department of Public Health found that of 260 herbs grown in China,one-third contained he
39、avy metals.They are minerals such as lead and mercury.They are very poisonous,even in tiny amounts.24.The scientists study the cures from the healers in order to.A.find out if the plant is poisonousB.find out what in the plant works to cure diseaseC.look for aspirin in the plantsD.make sure that the
40、 plants can cure disease答案:B解析:细节理解题。由第一段可知,科学家们拜访传统医生的目的是找到哪些植物可以用来治愈疾病,然后弄清楚这些植物中到底含有什么成分,选B项。25.We can infer from the second paragraph that.A.it is legal to take dietary supplements in the United StatesB.supplements are safe because they are natural medicinesC.all the supplements are poisonousD.n
41、one of the supplements has bad side effects答案:A解析:推理判断题。从第二段我们可知,在美国吃补药是合法的。26.The problem with dietary supplements may be in that .A.the supplement cant be tested like drugsB.the supplement may contain something uselessC.the supplement may be polluted seriouslyD.there is no clear evidence that the
42、supplement does work well答案:D解析:推理判断题。由最后一段可知,补药存在的问题很多,比如测试、药效、纯度等都存在一定的问题,选D项。27.Which one of the following is NOT right according to this passage?A.Scientists think herbs,roots can be used to cure disease.B.People believe dietary supplements contain vitamins and minerals.C.It is right that the di
43、etary supplements are always safe.D.Some dietary supplements may be harmful to your health.答案:C解析:细节理解题。一般人认为,以草药为主的中药或补药对人体没有什么害处,但是从文章的意思和作者的观点来看,这种看法是错误的,故答案选C项。A项指科学家认为药草和草根能用来治疗疾病;B项指人们认为补药中含有维生素和矿物质;D项指有些补药对你的身体有害,这些选项都和原文相符,都是正确的。CThe male lions splendid mane(鬃毛)sets him apart from other cats
44、and its great attraction for the ladiesso why would he do without it?That question has puzzled scientists since 1833,when the first reports of“maneless”lions streamed in from around the world.Now,a research team reports that lions from the Tsavo region of Kenya deliberately delay mane growth to fit
45、in with the regions harsh temperatures.John Patterson,a hunter and a British Colonel,was one of the first to document manelessness in Tsavos famous man-eaters.Ever since,naturalists have developed evolutionary descriptions.Some researchers suggested that lions lost their manes because they were caug
46、ht too many times in Tsavos thorn bushes everywhere.Others argued that Tsavos aggressive lions have unusually high testosterone(雄激素)levels,known to cause male pattern baldness(秃顶)in humans.Still others supposed that Tsavos lions were a distinct group or were a related to a lion pictured in prehistor
47、ic caves,which no longer existed.But expert Thomas Gnoske at the Field Museum in Chicago,Illinois,considered something these researchers didnt:lions shipped to zoos in cooler climates grow longer manes.This made him wonder whether hot temperatures account for Tsavos thinning lions.To find out,Gnoske
48、 and his colleagues studied museum records and conducted 10 years of fieldwork in Tsavo and in the Serengeti,which is about 10 degrees cooler.In an article published online this month in the Journal of Zoology,the team reports that lions in the Serengeti grow a full mane in 5 yearsby the time theyre
49、 ready to breedbut that Tsavos lions dont have much of mane until age 8,well past their reproductive period.Gnoske thinks smaller manes improve a young,energetic lions ability to keep cool.Bushy manes probably evolved to attract females in cooler climates where heat stress was not an issue,Gnoske sa
50、ys,and lions cant just turn off that program,now that theyre in a place like Tsavo.“Theyre hard-wired to grow a mane,and theyll develop as large a mane as they possibly can.”Scientist Roland Kays of the New York State Museum in Albany says he is surprised by the delay in mane development.However,he
51、expresses concern about the accuracy of using field observations to judge the age of Tsavo lions.Gnoske says his team is now focusing its research on Tsavo lions with known birth dates,but it will be a challenge to keep track of the wide-ranging animals through maturity,especially since radio collar
52、s are prohibited in Tsavos national parks.28.What does the passage mainly talk about?A.Studies on relationships between lions and climates.B.Arguments on why the male lion lost its mane.C.Comparisons of lions in Tsavo and Serengeti.D.Different ways of studying manelessness of male lions.答案:B解析:细节理解题
53、。由第一段内容可知。29.Gnoske did fieldwork in Serengeti mainly because.A.it has a much lower temperatureB.lions in Serengeti grow a full mane in 5 yearsC.it is easier to make sure of the accuracy of field observationD.lions in Serengeti grow a full mane when they are ready to breed答案:A解析:细节理解题。由第三段内容可知。30.Wh

56、red creatures include a bird-eating frog with fangs(毒牙),a bird that would rather walk than fly and a gecko(壁虎)whose alien appearance inspired the reports title of Close Encounters,the conservation group said.The report was released ahead of major UN talks on climate change in Bangkok next week,which
57、 are being held before a make-or-break summit in Copenhagen this December.“Some species will be able to adapt to climate change,and many will not,potentially resulting in massive extinction,”Stuart Chapman,director of the WWF Greater Mekong program,said in the report.“Rare and endangered species lik
58、e those newly discovered are especially vulnerable(易受伤害的)because climate change will further shrink their already restricted habitats,”he said.“The new discoveries in 2010 include 100 plants,28 fish,18 reptiles,14 amphibians,2 mammals and a bird,”the WWF report said.The area spans Cambodia,Laos,Myan
59、mar,Thailand,Vietnam and Chinas Yunnan Province.“Among the new species is the bird-eating fanged frog,which remains hidden in a protected area of Thailand despite the fact that scientists are studying there for 40 years,”the report said.The tiger-striped pit viper was discovered accidentally on an i
60、sland off the coast of Vietnam when a scientist was looking for a lizard and his son pointed out that his hand was on a rock right next to the snakes fangs.“We caught the snake and the gecko and they both proved to be new species,”researcher Lee Grismer of La Sierra University in California was quot
61、ed as saying in the report.The leopard gecko,found on another Vietnamese island,has the colouring of a leopard and bizarre orange,cat-like eyes and thin legs.The Greater Mekong region has proved a rich area for scientists.The WWF said in December 2010 that it had found 1,068 new species there betwee
62、n 1997 and 2009.32.What is special about the newly discovered bird?A.It usually walks.B.It likes walking and flying.C.It can eat other birds.D.It can eat frogs.答案:A解析:细节理解题。由文章第二段第一句可知,这种新发现的鸟的独特之处是它喜欢行走,而不是飞翔。33.Stuart Chapman believes that .A.most of the newly discovered species can adapt to clima
63、te changeB.climate change can cause massive extinction of the newly discovered speciesC.the newly discovered species are not so vulnerable to climate changeD.many species have already died out because of climate change答案:B解析:细节理解题。由文章第四段可知,这些新发现的物种很少能适应气候变暖,因此会出现大量灭绝的情况。34.When Lee Grismer discovere
64、d the tiger-striped pit viper,he probably felt.A.frightenedB.disappointedC.excitedD.puzzled答案:C解析:推理判断题。由文章倒数第二段可知,这种蛇的发现很偶然,而且后来被证明是一个新的物种,因此发现者应该感到“惊喜”,故选excited。35.What does the passage mainly tell us?A.The Greater Mekong region is a rich area for scientists.B.Many rare species remain to be disco
65、vered in the Mekong region.C.Scientists have discovered many new species in the Mekong region.D.Climate change threatens Mekong new species.答案:D解析:主旨大意题。由文章第一段可知,本文重点在于说明大湄公河次区新发现的物种面临受气候变暖濒临灭绝的危险,而不是强调新物种的发现,故选D项。第二节(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。选项中有两项为多余选项。UrbanizationUntil relati

69、ms to feed five people in cities.39 Until modern times,those living in cities were mainly the ruling elite(精英)and the servants,labourers and professionals who served them.Cities survived by taxing farmers and were limited in size by the amount of surplus food that the rural population produced and b
70、y the ability to move this surplus from farm to city.Over the past two centuries,the Industrial Revolution has broken this balance between the city and the country.40Today,instead of needing ninety-five farmers to feed five city people,one American farmer is able to feed more than a hundred non-farm
