While this may seem a little concern, it is in fact a significant environmental problem. The shortened hibernation period could actually lead to significant declines in the population of several species. Some of the first concrete evidence of the phenomenon came from Colorado, where researchers at the Rocky Mountain Biological lab have been observing marmot(旱獭) hibernation behavior since the 1970s. In the early days of their studies, marmots generally hibernated several weeks into the month of May. Nowadays, however, temperatures in the area have risen by 2. 5 degrees Fahrenheit, and the marmots wake up about a month earlier. At least the marmots are still hibernating. Several other animals have not been hibernating at all recently. Brown bears in the Spanish Cantabrian Mountains did not hibernate last year. In parts of the United States, chipmunks(花鼠) also skipped the hibernation period. The bears seem to have survived without losing many individuals. The chipmunks, however, were not so lucky. Many of the animals died of starvation during the winter. The problem with animals waking up early, or skipping hibernation altogether, lies with the creatures’ metabolism(新陈代谢). When the animals hibernate, their metabolism drops significantly. The animals’ heart rate slows, and they require very little energy to live. When the animals awake from their winter slumber, their metabolism returns to normal. But while their metabolism may be as active as it was before hibernation, food sources aren’t as available as they were before. A marmot may wake up when temperatures get warmer, thinking it’s spring, but plants will not have got the amount of sun they need to signal their spring period of growth. So until the plants grow, the marmots have no reliable food source. Many scientists believe the problem will continue to get worse. In addition to changes in hibernation patterns, some believe that other animals will also begin to change their migration patterns or begin to give birth earlier. For many biologists, that’s a scary prospect. Terry Root, an animal expert at Stanford University, said, “I do think what we will be facing is the extinction of many species.” 66. What is the viewpoint of the writer? A. Global warming will continue to get worse as time goes on. B. Global warming will lead to shortened hibernation of some animals. C. Shortened hibernation will result in declines in the population of animals. D. Some animals will skip hibernation altogether. 67. The writer sets the example of the marmot so as to 　　. A. explain that global warming influences animals’ hibernation B. indicate that the weather gets warmer and warmer now C. show that the weather in the United States is quite different D. say some animals do not hibernate now due to warm weather 68. The underlined word “slumber ”in the fourth paragraph means“　　　”. A. weather　　 B. activity　　 C. nest　　 D. sleep 69. Why can’t marmots find enough food when they wake up? A. Because there are too many marmots in the wild now. B. Because plants haven’t received enough sunlight for spring growth. C. Because winter days end much earlier than before. D. Because more and more animal species skip hibernation now. B 　　Once upon a time, on his way to the Himalayas, was a saint(圣徒). He came across a shallow river he had to cross. Just when he was about to wet his feet, he saw a scorpion(蝎子)helplessly trying to come out of the river. It was almost touching the bank but not enough to gain hold of the ground. The saint saw scorpion’s struggle and decided to save it. He picked up the scorpion in his right hand with the intention to place it on the dry surface. No sooner did he do that than the scorpion stung and rushed off the hand, landing in the water again. It struggled to come out of water again. The saint’s body was in pain but his mind, calm. Seeing that the scorpion could lose its life, the saint used left hand this time to lift the scorpion out of water. However, it panicked and stung again. Once again, it sped off the hand and fell in water. He was left with both hands filled with pain. He was not the one to give up either. He tried again. This time, he cupped his hands together and lifted the scorpion in one swift movement. Before it could react, he safely dropped it on the land. The scorpion disappeared into the pebbles that lay near the bank. He felt happy, for he succeeded in carrying out his rescue, for saving another life. It was worth the pain he thought. At a distance, a man, surprised and shocked, had watched the whole process. He approached the saint and said, “Can I ask you a question please? ” “Yes, you may. ” “First of all, there was no need to save a scorpion. It does no good to anybody. Secondly, if you must save it, you could have simply tried once. I’m surprised that even after it stung you, you still went on. Why? ” “Oh! That’s pretty simple, ”he replied softly rubbing his stung hands against each other. “This was a scorpion, a creature really low on the food chain, a creature whose nature is to sting(蜇), to panic, to harm. It is supposed to be weak. However, I am supposed to be a saint, a person whose job is to love everybody, to offer love. I am supposed to be the strong one, the one higher up on the food chain. With my principles, my philosophy(人生观)and practice, I am supposed to save other creatures. Right? ” The man nodded. 70. When a saint saw a scorpion struggling to come out of the river, he　　. A. was in the shallow river B. was climbing the Himalayas C. was on the river bank D. had just crossed the river 71. Why did the scorpion sting and rush off his right hand? A. Because it was full of panic at that time. B. Because it wanted to get to the bank itself. C. Because the saint harmed it badly. D. Because the saint tried to kill it. 72. How did the man nearby feel at the saint’s behavior of saving the scorpion? A. Happy. B. Angry. C. Frightened. D. Puzzled. 73. From the passage we can infer 　　　. A. the saint regretted having saved the scorpion later B. the scorpion stung the saint three times in all C. the man thought the saint a fool and left angrily D. the saint thought it his duty to save other creatures C 　Linus Pauling, the only person who has won two undivided Nobel Prizes, was born in Portland, Oregon. He attended Washington High School but because of an unimportant detail he did not receive his diploma until 1962, long after he had received his Bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from Oregon State College in 1922. He had chosen to study his major because he could get a good job with it. He won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1954 for his research into the nature of the chemical bond and its application to the explanation of the structure of complex substances. His interest in the “behavior” of molecules(分子)led him from physical chemistry to biological chemistry, especially of the human body. He began with proteins and their main parts, the amino acids(氨基酸), which are called the“ building blocks of life”. In 1950, he constructed the first satisfactory model of a protein molecule, a discovery very important to the understanding of the living cell. During World WarⅡ, Pauling was a member of the Research Board for National Security, for which he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Merit in 1948. However, the use of the atomic bomb near the end of the war turned Pauling in a new direction. Having long worked on the structure of molecules, he took an immediate interest in the deadly effects of nuclear fallout(辐射) on human molecular structures. From then on, Pauling protested the production of the hydrogen bombs and supported the prevention of the spread of nuclear weapons. Through his efforts, The Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty, declaring all nuclear tests to be illegal except underground ones, came into effect on October 10, 1963, the same day Linus Pauling was awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace. 74. From the first paragraph, we learn that Linus Pauling 　　. A. didn’t study hard while in Washington High School B. is the only scientist who has won two Nobel Prizes C. was once badly treated in Washington High School D. chose to study chemical engineering to earn his living 75. Which of the following things did Pauling pay much attention to at first? A. The “behavior” of molecules. B. Physical chemistry. C. Biological chemistry. D. The human body. 76. During World WarⅡ, Linus Pauling 　　. A. had to stop his research because of the war B. made great contributions to the safety of the country C. joined the army to fight for the safety of the country D. took part in researching nuclear bombs 77. The main idea of the passage is to show 　　. A. Linus Pauling’s attitude towards nuclear weapons B. Linus Pauling’s contributions to the world C. Linus Pauling’s research on the structure of molecules D. Linus Pauling’s getting the Nobel Prize for Peace D Mr and Mrs Gordon were sitting on the sand, reading their magazines. Mr. Gordon was too stingy(吝啬) to rent a chair. Their twelve-year-old daughter, Sandra, was playing at the water’s edge. Suddenly a huge wave lifted Sandra up and carried her out to sea. Fortunately, a lifeguard was on duty and he saw the wave carry Sandra away. He ran along the beach and dived into the sea. He swam quickly to where the girl, with her head only just above the water, was shouting for help. She was very frightened. When the lifeguard reached her, she struggled with him, as drowning people often do. However, he was a skillful life guard and quickly took hold of her and swam with her back to the beach. By the time he reached it, Mr and Mrs Gordon had realized what had happened. They had run down to the water’s edge. Neither of them could swim. They just stood in the shallow water, and worried about their daughter. Had the lifeguard reached her in time? Fortunately, he had. “That was quick work, young man,” Mr Gordon said. He turned to his wife, “Give the lifeguard a dollar.” “A dollar!” Sandra cried. “Dad, how can you give him a dollar! He saved my life. I was half dead.” “Quite right, girl !” Mr Gordon said, pleased by his daughter’s awareness of the value of money. He turned to his wife again and said, “She’s right. She was only half dead. Give him fifty cents.” 78. What happened to Sandra？ A. She ran into the sea. B. Her life was saved by a lifeguard. C. She was drowned. D. She died. 79. What would probably have happened to Sandra if the lifeguard had not been on the beach？ A. Her father would have saved her. B. Her mother would have saved her. C. She would have swum back to the beach. D. She would have been drowned. 80. Why was Sandra angry with her father？ A. He did not give the life guard any money. B. He did not swim out to save her. C. He did not show the lifeguard hearty thankfulness. D. He gave the lifeguard too much money. 第二节：阅读填空（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。 Training for a marathon requires careful preparation and steady, gradual increases in the length of the runs. 81 , buy the best- fitting, best-built running shoes you can find.

In today’s world, being able to master a foreign language will be helpful in our life. Here are my learning methods. First, I think it useful to learn grammar and remember as many useful sentence patterns as I can. I believe the more we read, the better our English will be. So I spend much time reading English newspapers and magazines after class, which helps to improve my English. Besides, TV and radio programs are of great help. Learning English not only increases my awareness of foreign cultures but also helps me to communicate with English-speaking people and to make more new friends. However, sometimes I get discouraged because I keep forgetting words I have just learned. I’d like to use the opportunity to seek your advice. Thank you! Yours, Li Hua 1
