第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）

第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

One thing the tour books don't tell you about London is that 2,000 0f its residents (屠民) are foxes. They ran away from the city about centuries ago after developers and pollution moved in. But now that the environment is cleaner, the foxes have come home.

"The number and variety of wild animals in urban c城市的) areas is increasing," says Corner Jones. A survey of the wildlife in New York's Central Park last year counted 14 kinds of animals. A similar survey carried out in the 1890's counted only five kinds.

Several changes have brought wild animals to the cities. First, the air and water quality in many cities have improved as a result of the 1970s pollution-control efforts. Meanwhile, rural areas have been built up, and many animals have gone to the area outside the centre of a city. In addition, urban wildlife refuges (避难处) have been created. The Greater London Council last year spent $ 750, 000 to buy land and build 10 permanent (永久性的) wildlife refuges in the city. As a result, many birds are now living in the city. By 1970 the birds had died out east of the Mississippi because the DDT had made their eggs too thin to support life.

That year, scientist Tom Cade of Cornell University began raising the birds for release in cities, for cities afforded abundant food.

Cities can attract wild animals without turning them harmful. The key is to create habitats where they are able to live happily. Such habitats can even be useful. In San Francisco, the local government is testing different kinds of rainwater control basins to see not only which ones keep the cleanest water but which will attract the most birds.

21. What is the passage mainly about?

A. 2,000 foxes returning to London.

B. Wild animals living in zoos.

C. Wildlife returning to some larger cities.

D. The great enemy of wildlife.

22. It can be inferred from the passage that

A. Londoners are putting more and more wild animals into their zoos

B. Londoners are happy to see wild animals return to their city

C. Londoners are trying to move wild animals back to the countryside

D. Londoners have welcomed the wild birds, but found foxes a problem

23.According to the passage, the number of species of wildlife in New York's park .

A. is slowly going down

B. is the same as that in other cities

C. doesn't change too much

D. has more than doubled in the last century

24. Which of the following is NOT a reason why wildlife is returning to the cities?

A. There is plenty of food for wildlife in the city.

B. Wildlife enjoys being watched and fed in the cities.

C. More and more special living areas have been built for the wildlife.

D. Air and water quality has improved in the cities.

Podcasts (播客)

The B. S. Report

Designed for the sports fan with a sense of humor, the B. S. Report is located by the sportswriter Bill Simmons. It’s not uncommon for him to go almost a whole show without even mentioning sports.

The Moth

The Moth is a weekly podcast run by a nonprofit art organization. The show is made up of recordings of “true story told before a live audience without notes”. Each week, the group releases short 10-20 minute tales told by people from all walks of life. Past presenters have included writers, comedians, scientists and even New York City police officers. Filmspotting

Filmspotting is a weekly podcast and is a must-listen for any movie fan. The show is focused on movie reviews, but hosts Adam Kempenaar and Matty Robinson do more than just tell their listeners which new movie is worth seeing, they also discuss and examine the film as an

art form. The show doesn’t foc us on current movies, either, as the hosts frequently discuss old films as part theme marathons.

Big cats have existed on the earth for millions of years, though scientists aren’t sure exactly how long. But a new study indicates that a skull (颅骨) of a snow leopard (豹) relative that was recently unearthed is 4.4 million years old. That makes it the oldest big cat fossil (化石) ever found.

A team of US and Chinese scientists unearthed the skull in Tibet. This creature is not a direct ancestor to big cats, but it is closely related to the snow leopard, study leader Jack Tseng told the Associated Press. The fossil lends evidence to the belief that big cats existed in Asia and spread out from there.

Big cats arc at the top of the food chain and have few predators of their own. Big cats include snow leopards, clouded leopards, tigers and lions. Based on genetic judgements, most scientists believe they first existed in Central Asia. But previously, the oldest known big cat fossil was 3.6 million years old and found in Africa.

The new fossil findings were published in the November 13 issue of the science journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences. Tseng and his team were fossil hunting in the Himalayas in 2010 when they discovered some bones, including the buried cat skull. The researchers were able to determine its age by studying the surrounding rocks and soil. The skull indicates that the animal was about the size of a clouded leopard, which can

grow up to 50 pounds. In 2012, the team returned to unearth more cat bones.

David Polly from Indiana University told the Associated Press that the fossil is “convincingly older than the _ current _ record _ holder”. He added that there could be even older big cat fossils in the Tibetan plateau to uncover.

28.What does the newly unearthed skull prove?

A. Big cats might have their origins in Asia.

B. The oldest fossil is 4.4 million years old.

C. The snow leopard is the oldest big cat.

D. The skull is of big cats’ direct ancestor.

29.What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. relatives.

B. enemies.

C. partners.

D. protectors

30.How do the researchers know the skull’s age?

A. By measuring its size and forehead.

B. By examining other bones around it.

C. By studying its chemical composition.

D. By exploring the rocks and soil around it.

31.Where was “the current record holder” in the last paragraph found?

A. Asia.

B. Africa.

C. America.

D. Australia.

A drunken burglar（盗贼）in the Orrell Park area of Liverpool, ended up leaping out of a window after a 10-year-old girl asked him to prove he was a superhero. The drunken thief who pretended he was Superman to stop a child raising the alarm has been caught after he leapt from the apartment building in his pants to make the girl convinced.

Thief Ethan Adamson, 25, told police that he had broken into a fifth-floor flat after a drinking session, believing it was empty. But he was horrified when the owner’s 10-year-old daughter woke up while he was there.

From his hospital bed, the thief told reporters, “To keep her quiet, I told her I was really Superman and I’d soon be flying off back to my secret headquarters.” “She called my bluff (吓唬) and told me, ‘If you’re Superman, show me you can fly or I’ll scream’ ”.

“I had no choice so I stripped to my pants to look more like a superhero and went to the window. I saw another roof below and I thought I could make it but it turned out to be a lot further down than thought. I know it doesn’t make sense but it did to me when I was drunk.”

Police later found him on the roof in just his yellow pants, covered in cuts and bruises

after a baffled neighbor heard his cries of pain. He now faces seven years behind bars for burglary.

Police spokesman Frank Amado said, “He was in quite a serious state and couldn’t move until we got up there using ladders. He was treated for his injuries and we got him some fresh clothes before taking him to hospital, where he is being kept under guard until he is well enough to be arrested.”

32. What does the underlined part in the passage mean?

A. I could make the girl trust me.

B. I could prove I was a superhero.

C. I could land safely on the roof.

D. I could make a successful escape.

33. What’s the right order of the event?

a. Ethan Adamson told reporters of the burglary.

b. The 10-year-old girl called Ethan Adamson’s bluff.

c. Ethan Adamson attended a drinking session.

d. Ethan Adamson leapt out of a window.

A. cbda

B. cabd

C. dbca

D. dcab

34. Which of the following is TRUE?

A. Adamson was being watched while he was in hospital.

B. Adamson was set free a few days after staying in hospital.

C. Adamson was badly treated before he was rushed to hospital.

D. Adamson was sent to the police station before he’s taken to hospital.

35. What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage?

A. To call our attention to the burglary.

B. To explain how the burglar was caught.

C. To report on a joking burglary

D. To look back on an adventure story.
