Ⅴ.阅读理解
Different types of animals have been disappearing from view on the earth for millions of years. Now, one of them keeps popping up again, thanks to natural human curiosity. Mammoths(猛犸) could walk the earth again.
With large tusks(长牙) and a high round head，mammoths were up to 5 meters tall at the shoulder. They were covered with long, dark hair and probably weighed from 6 to 12 tons.
Two mammoths dug up are on display in Beijing Museum of Natural History from April 28 to July 10.
Mammoths are close relatives of modern elephants. Mammoths first appeared in Africa about four million years ago and spread out across Europe and Asia. They slowly evolved into several different species, each adapting to their environment. For example，the hardy woolly mammoth(毛猛犸) lived in the extreme cold of Siberia. Most scientists think that about 10,000 years ago, woolly mammoths died out as a result of warmer weather reducing their food sources.
It is believed that 10 million mammoths are buried under the frozen soil of Siberia. In 2007, a Russian hunter came across what he thought was the body of a reindeer sticking out of the snow. With a closer look, the “reindeer” turned out to be a 40,000yearold baby mammoth.
Picture it in your mind. Woolly mammoths eating grass around the places we are living in. “Our ancestors might have seen them, lived with them, and even hunted them，” said Andrei Sher, a mammoth expert at the Severtsov Institute of Ecology and Evolution in Moscow, Russia.
You might already have seen a mammoth in the movies. In Ice Age Ⅱ， the mammoth couple showed off their power, with the male saving the female from a cave. What a prehistoric romance!
But scientists are dying to see real mammoths. The skin and flesh of those dug up are well preserved. Experts studying them hope to find the genetic secrets of the mammoth and bring them back to life.
1．What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A．Mammoth’s skeletons are difficult to find.
B．We will have a chance to see the real mammoth one day.
C．Mammoths will be our animal specimens.
D．Mammoths will be as many as before.

C．Most scientists think that about 10,000 years ago，woolly mammoths died out as a result of warmer weather reducing their food sources.
D．The two real mammoths were found in Beijing.
3．What do you think the purpose of the last but one paragraph is?
A．To provide background information of the topic.
B．To offer the basic knowledge of the topic.
C．To arouse people’s imagination to see the real mammoth.
D．To offer some living features of mammoths.

Ⅱ.1.(1)ignored (2)neglected (3)overlooked (4)overlook
解析 这一组动词都有“忽略”的意思。
overlook多指由于草率、放任或没有注意到而忽视某事。neglect指本该引起注意的事未加注意或应该做的事未能去做，强调未留心而疏忽，后面接sb./sth.，还可以接to do sth.。ignore指有意识地不予理睬，后面可接sb./sth.，但不接不定式。
2．(1)mature/ripe (2)mature (3)ripe mature
解析 mature应用范围较广，不仅指果实、谷物的成熟，而且泛指动植物的成熟。ripe主要用于果实已成熟，可以食用；也用于谷物成熟，可以收获。
