16、ugh第二部分：阅读理解（第一节20小题；第二节5小题；每小题2分；满分50分）第一节：阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。AFor hundreds of millions of years, turtles have struggled out of the sea to lay their eggs on sandy beaches, long before there were nature documentaries to celebrate them, or GPS satellites and marine biol
17、ogists to track them, or volunteers to hand-carry the hatchlings (幼龟) down to the waters edge in case they become lost by headlights and crawl towards a motel parking lot instead. A huge wall has been erected to protect their prime nesting on the Atlantic coastlines. With all that attention paid to
18、them, youd think these creatures would at least have the gratitude not to go extinct.But nature is indifferent to human notions of fairness, and a report by the Fish and Wildlife Service showed a worrisome drop in the populations of several species of North Atlantic turtles, especially loggerheads (
19、红海龟), which can grow to as much as 400 pounds. The South Florida nesting population, the largest, has declined by 50% in the last decade, according to Elizabeth Griffin, a marine biologist with the environmental group Oceana. The figures urged Oceana to appeal to the government to upgrade the level
20、of protection for the North Atlantic loggerheads from “threatened” to “endangered”meaning they are in danger of disappearing without additional help.Which raises the obvious question: what else do these turtles want from us, anyway? It turns out, according to Griffin, that while we have done a good
21、job of protecting the turtles for the weeks they spend on land (as egg-laying females, as eggs and as hatchlings), we have neglected the years spend in the ocean. “The threat is from commercial fishing,” says Griffin. Trawlers (which drag large nets through the water and along the ocean floor) and l
22、ongline fishers (which can arrange thousands of hooks on lines that can stretch for miles) do great harm to turtles.Of course, like every other environmental issue today, this is playing out against the background of global warming and human interference with natural ecosystems. The narrow strips of
23、 beach on which the turtles lay their eggs are being squeezed on one side by development and on the other by the threat of rising sea levels as the oceans warm. Finally we must get a handle on those issues as well, or a creature that outlived the dinosaurs will meet its end at the hands of humans, l
24、eaving our children to wonder how creature so ugly could have won so much affection.41. We can learn from the first paragraph that _. A. human activities have changed the way turtles survive B. efforts have been made to protect turtles from dying out C. government bureaucracy has contributed to turt
25、les extinction D. marine biologists are looking for the secret of turtles reproduction42. The underlined sentence in paragraph 2 means that _ A. nature is quite fair regarding the survival of turtles. B. turtles are by nature indifferent to human activities. C. the course of nature will not be chang
26、ed by human interference. D. the turtle population has decreased in spite of human protection. 43. _ is a major threat to the survival of turtles according to Elizabeth Griffin? A. Their inadequate food supplyB. Unregulated commercial fishing C. Their lower reproductively abilityD. Pollution of sea
27、water44. How does global warming affect the survival of turtles? _ A. It threatens the sandy beaches on which they lay eggs. B. The changing climate makes it difficult for their eggs to hatch. C. The rising sea levels make it harder for their hatchlings to grow. D. It takes them longer to adapt to t
28、he high beach temperature.45. The last sentence of the passage is meant to _. A. persuade human beings to show more affection for turtles B. stress that even the most ugly species should be protected C. call for effective measures to ensure sea turtles survival D. warn our descendants about the exti

53、day Mr. Burke announced thered be a unit test and anyone who didnt pass would have to come to school on Saturday, most particularly me, since I didnt pass the last unit test.

Lying on the floor of my room, I begin to think that probably Ive been bad all along. It just took this mat

62、ll out to him in a voice I dont even recognize as my own. “How come?” he calls back not surprised or anything. So I tell him I cheated on this math test. To tell the truth, Im pretty much surprised at myself. I didnt plan to tell him anything. He doesnt say anything at first and that just about kill

Im not going to, I say. But I do it. I call Mr. Burke, probably waking him up, and I tell him exactly what
64、happened, even that I decided to cheat the night before the test. He says Ill come on Saturday to take another test, which is ok with me, and I thank him a whole lot for being understanding and all. “Today I thought I was turning into a criminal,” I tell my father when he turns out my light.
