四．阅读理解。（共 15 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 30 分）
A
Many animal and plant species have become extinct（灭绝的）and many more are in
critical danger. Finding ways to protect the earth's wildlife and conserve（保护）the natural
world they inhabit（居住）is now more important than ever.
Dodo
The Dodo is a classic example of how human caused damage to the earth's biology. The
flightless Dodo was native to the Island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. It lived off fruit
fallen from the island's trees and lived unthreatened until humans arrived in 1505. The easily
controlled bird became a source of food for sailors and was attacked by animals introduced to
the island by humans such as pigs, monkeys and rats. The population of Dodos rapidly
decreased and last one was killed in 1681.
Rhinos
The Rhino (犀牛) horn is a highly priced item for Asian medicine. This has led to the
animal being hunted in its natural habitat. Once widespread in Africa and Eurasia, most rhinos
now live in protected natural parks and reserves （ 保 护 区 ） . Their numbers have rapidly
decreased in the last 50 years, and the animals remain under constant threat from poachers（偷
猎者）.
The Giant Panda
The future of the World Wildlife Fund's symbol is far from certain. As few as 1000 remain
in the wild． The Chinese government has set up 33 panda reserves to protect these beautiful
animals and mad e poaching them punishable with 20 years in prison. However, The panda's
distinct black and white patched coat fetches a high price on the black market and determined
poachers still pose（造成）one of the most serious threats to the animals continued existence.
Whales
The International Whaling Commission is fighting to ensure the survival of the whale
species. Despite the fact that one-third the world's oceans have been declared whale sanctuaries
（保护区）, 7 out of 13 whale species remain endangered． Hunted for their rich supply of oil,
their numbers have decreased to just 300. Collisions（碰撞）with ships, poisonous pollution and
being caught in fishing nets are other major causes of whale deaths.
Tigers
The last 100 years has seen a 95% reduction in the numbers of remaining tigers to between
5000 and 7000 and the Bali, Javan, and Caspian tigers are already extinct. The South China
tiger is precariously close to disappearing, with only 20 to 30 still alive. Like the Rhino horn,
tigers’ bones and organs are sought after for traditional Chinese medicines. These items are
traded illegally along with tiger skins.
36. It implies that _______.
A．The Dodo lacked the ability to protect itself from other animals
B．Sailors to the Island of Mauritius lived mainly on the Dodo

British newspapers are among the oldest and most famous in the world． But recently big
changes have seen these traditional publications try to fit the modern world． After 221 years,
The Times has changed its size to become much smaller. In fact, the paper has cut its size in
half from a broadsheet to tabloid (小报).
In Britain the newspaper market is divided between t he larger broadsheets and the smaller
tabloids. These terms refer to the size of the papers’ pages but there is also a clear difference in
content. Broadsheets such as The Times, the Guardian and Daily Telegraph are serious papers.
They cover a broad range of political, economic and international issues. Their stories are also
reasonably long and use quite formal language.
Tabloids have far more stories about less serious issues such as celebrities’ (名人) love
lives. Their stories are shorter and use more simple language. Tabloids often have bigger
pictures. Britain’s best-selling newspaper, the Sun, is a tabloid and has a naked girl on Page
Three every day.
By changing to the size of a tabloid, The Times is following in the footsteps of a less
famous broadsheet paper the Independent . It changed to tabloid last year and saw its sales
increase greatly. Although both papers have switched to the smaller size the content of the
papers has remained the same. They are both still serious papers.
The two papers claim that people find the smaller size easier to handle when they travel to
work on the bus or the train in the morning. Instead of calling the new style of their paper
tabloid, the paper says its new size is “compact” (紧凑型).
46．In which year was The Times born?
A．1782 B．1785 C．1788 D．1786
47．Which of the following statements can best describe broadsheets and tabloid?
A．Broadsheets are larger in size while tabloids are smaller.
B．Tabloids are less serious than broadsheets.
C．Broadsheets contain more news than tabloids.
D．They are different in size, content and the style of language.
48． Which of the following newspapers would you read if you are interested in lives of film
stars ?
A．The Sun B．The Times C．The Independent D．The Guardian
49． According to the passage we can infer the main reason for The Times' changing into the
tabloid is that_____.
A．it wants to become convenient for people to carryw w w .
B．it wants to increase its circulation (发行量)
C．it intends to copy what The Independent has done
D．it is unlikely to stay in business if it does not change
50．Which of the following statements is true according to the given information?
A．There are more tabloids than broadsheets in Britain at present.
B．After the change, there will be no differences between The Sun and The Times.
C．Although The Times has cut its size, it remains a serious paper.
D．All the papers will tend to have the same style in the future.

这是一篇生态类短文。文章介绍了五种比较典型的“已经灭绝的和濒临灭绝的动物”
并探究其原因。
41．答案：B 解析：文章最后一句话提到 The most famous award given out at Cannnes
is the “Palme d’Or” （Golden Palm） for the best film; this is sometimes shared by
multiple films in one year 可以得知夏纳电影节最著名的奖项“金棕榈奖”有时可由一
年中的多部影片共同获得。
42．答案：D 解析：奥斯卡奖是美国最著名的奖，不是法国的。
43．答案：D 解析：从第三段最后一句话 Recently, a new award has been added, the San
Marco Award for the best film 看出最佳影片 San Marco Award 奖是最近才增加的一个
新奖，所以历史最短。
44．答案：C 解析：从第二段最后一句话 The awards are called Golden and Silver Bears（as
the Bear is the symbol of Berlin．）看出，柏林电影节的奖名叫金熊奖和银熊奖是因
为熊是柏林的象征。

这是一篇新闻类短文。英国报纸是世界上最古老的、最著名的报纸之一。最近各大小
报都在对传统的出版进行改变。报纸的大小、内容以及语言的风格都有所不同。
46．C 计算题。根据第一段第三句“After 217 years, The Times has changed its size to become
much smaller”可得出 2005—217=1788。
47．D 细节理解题。ABC 项都只说明了报纸的某一方面的改变，D 项概括得比较全面。
48．A 推断题。根据第三段可知。小报较多地登载一些不太重要的事情，比如名人的爱
情故事等。此段还特别提到 The Sun 是一种小报，它每天都刊登姑娘的裸体照。故 A
项正确。
49．B 推断题。由倒数第二段的第一、二句“By changing to the size of a tabloid, The Times
is following in the footsteps of a less famous broadsheet paper the Independent. It
changed to tabloid last year and saw its sales increase greatly.”可知：泰晤士报由大报变
成小报的原因是增加发行量。
50．C 判断题。根据第倒数第二段最后两句“Although both papers have switched to the
smaller size the content of the papers has remained the same. They are both still serious
papers.”可知：泰晤士报由大报变成小报之后，它仍然是份严肃的报纸。
参考范文：
Some people consider that some numbers will bring luck to them, such as 6, 8 and 9. So
when they choose the car numbers or the telephone numbers, they would rather spend high fees
getting these numbers. But I don’t think these so-called lucky numbers will bring success and
fortune to people without any pains. In fact, the true success as well as fortune is the result of
hard work. Therefore we should believe in ourselves and fight for the success by all means.
