第3题：
资料：The federal government on Wednesday recommended an endangered-species listing for the loggerhead turtles in U.S. Waters, a decision that could lead to tighter restrictions on fishing and other maritime trades.Environmental groups who’ d been pushing an endangered listing said the proposal was a “turning point”they hope will lead to greater turtle protections.
“I think it’ s huge day for loggerhead sea turtles, ”said Beth Riff, a marine wildlife scientist at Oceana.“it really draws attention to the fact these turtles are not doing well and more needs to be done to protect them.”With all that attention to paid to them, you’d think these creatures would at least have the gratitude not to go extinct, but Nature is indifferent to human notions of fairness.No one really knows how many loggerhead there are, or how many are being killed by fishing gear or other activities. Riff cites a 40 percent drop in the number of nesting females in Florida over the last decade as evidence of trouble.
Loggerheads are named for their large heads, which contain potent jaws that can crush the hard shells of prey such as conch. The turtles are about the size of a fist when they hatch and make a frenzied dash to the surf. But they typically grow to more than three feet in length and 250 pounds. The animal can log thousands of miles as it travels across oceans.
Barbara Schoder，national sea turtle coordinator for NOAA’s fisheries division, said the biggest threats to the North Pacific loggerhead include damage to primary nesting sites, which are mainly in Japan，as well as accidental snaring of the turtles in fishing gear. Andrea Tee of San Francisco-based Center for Biological Diversity said the turtles get hooked by Hawaiian longline fishermen targeting swordfish and tuna and can be injured or drowned. On the East Coast, the main threat to turtles is gear from the region’s various fishenes Schoder said.
A primary benefit of the endangered status would be increased public pressure on protecting the species, Riff said. But the government would also have to determine“critical habitats，”such as where the turtles reproduce or forage. Such places could be subject to additional protections for the turtles, including restrictions on maritime development or fishing.
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 beach on which the turtles lay their eggs are being squeezed on one side by development and on the other by threat of rising sea levels as the oceans warm. Ultimately 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, leaving our descendants to wonder how creature so ugly could have won so much affection.
What does the author mean by “nature is indifferent to human notions of fairness”（ ）.A.Nature is quite fair regarding the survival of turtles
B.Turtles are by nature indifferent to human activities
C.Course of nature will not be changed by human interference
D.The turtle population has decreased in spite of human protection答案：D解析：本题考查的是句意判断。
【关键词】mean;nature is indifferent to human notions of fairness
【主题句】第2自然段With all that attention to paid to them,you’d think these creatures would at least have the gratitude not to go extinct,but Nature is indifferent to human notions of fairness.No one really knows how many loggerhead there are, or how many are being killed by fishing gear or other activities.Riff cites a 40 percent drop in the number of nesting females in Florida over the last decade as evidence of trouble.在如此多的关注之下，你会认为这些蠵龟至少会感激不至灭绝，但大自然对人类的公平观念漠不关心。没有人真正知道那里有多少蠵龟，或者有多少被渔具或其他人类活动杀死。Riff引用过去的十年，在佛罗里达州筑巢的雌性蠵龟数量下降了40％作为面临困境的证据。
【解析】本题的问题是“作者提出nature is indifferent to human notions of fairness（大自然对人类的公平观念漠不关心）的意思是_______”。选项A意为“自然对于龟的生存是相当公平的”；选项B意为“乌龟本质上对人类活动漠不关心”；选项C意为“自然的过程不会因人为干扰而改变”；选项D意为“尽管受到人类保护，但龟的数量减少”。
根据主题句可知，人类认为开展了保护措施，蠵龟就不会灭绝了，但事实上蠵龟数量还在下降，所以D选项“尽管有人类的保护，蠵龟数量还在下降”正确。 -

【关键词】learned from; the first paragraph
【主题句】第1自然段The federal government on Wednesday recommended an endangered-species listing for the loggerhead turtles in U.S. Waters, a decision that could lead to tighter restrictions on fishing and other maritime trades.

【解析】本题的问题是“从第一段中可以了解到_______”。选项A意为“人类活动改变了龟的生存方式”；选项B意为“.为保护海龟免于灭绝，已经做出了一些努力”；选项C意为“海洋生物学家正在寻找海龟繁殖的秘密”；选项D意为“政府官僚机构为减少海龟数量作出了贡献”。根据主题句可知，一直有人在致力于保护蠵龟，因此B选项“为防止蠵龟灭绝，人们已经做出了一些努力。”正确。 -

BThey can be a worthwhile subject for study.
CThey are critically important to an understanding of modern art.
DTheir visual structure is more complex than that of medieval art.
正确答案： B解析：
作者认为：Just as the study of poetry remains incomplete without an awareness of the language of prose, so, I believe, the study of art will be increasingly supplemented by inquiry into the “linguistics” of the visual image，就像没有散文的语言意识就很难学好诗歌一样，通过研究视觉图像的“语言学”会对相关艺术领域的探索作一些补充。漫画是艺术中的一种，同样也是值得学习研究的。 -
第10题：
单选题The phrase “even a status symbol” in Paragraph 4 means _________.Aonly high-ranking officials eat turtles in restaurants
Bturtle eating can glorify its eaters
Cturtle eaters should be either politically or materially privileged ones
Dturtle eaters should be living or staying in some particular places
正确答案： A解析：
本题是词义题。第四段提到：Turtle dishes are served in restaurants and regarded as an expensive delicacy, even a status symbol. (餐馆供应龟类菜肴，这种菜被当作名贵的佳肴，甚至是地位的象征)，由此可知因为价格昂贵，只有有钱或有地位的人才能享用；所以答案为C。 -
第11题：
单选题In which of the following aspect can the “sea turtles” make contributions to their homeland?AThey return home with knowledge and contracts to set up new businesses.
BThey help companies in their home country operate in their host country.
CThey work harder for less pay.
DThey help to achieve a lower unemployment rate.
正确答案： B解析：
从文章第五段中可知“An increasing number go home, taking with them both knowledge and contacts”可以看出A选项说移民带着“knowledge”和“contracts”回国是正确的。B选项说移民帮助“companies in their home country”在“their host country”发展业务与第六段他们帮助“companies in their host country”在“their home country”发展业务正相反，所以B项不对。在第七段可以看到，C项中提到移民“work harder for less pay”只是富裕国家居民对移民的抱怨，与题目中海归怎样为自己国家做贡献没有关系，因此C项错误。D项在文中没有提到。 -

单选题Which of the following statement is true?AThe author believes that a born naturalist cannot be a scientist.
BThe author's brothers and sisters were good at music and languages.
CThe author read a lot of books about the natural world and the oil industry.
DThe author spent a lot of time working on riddles.
正确答案： B解析：
细节题。A项属于无中生有，文中只提到“博物学家”是天生的，而“科学家”是后天培养的。并没有说天生的博物学家能否成为科学家。B项可以根据第一段的“Unlike them，I had no ear for music and languages，1 was not an early reader and I could not do mental enthusiastic”得出。C项属于对文章的误解。第三段的“burning the midnight oil”是“开夜车，点灯夜读”的意思，而非“石油工业”。D项迷惑性较大。它是对第三段“Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle”的误解。文章原意是作者通过大量的调查探索，会有所顿悟，故而解开谜团，而不是花大量的时间解谜。故B项为正确答案。 -

【关键词】how;global warming affect the survival of turtles
【主题句】最后一段The narrow strips of beach on which the turtles lay their eggs are being squeezed on one side by development and on the other by threat of rising sea levels as the oceans warm.蠵龟产卵的狭窄沙滩正在日益缩减，原因一方面是人类发展占地，另一方面是海洋变暖海平面上升带来的威胁。
【解析】本题的问题是“全球变暖如何影响了蠵龟的生存”。选项A意为“它威胁着海龟产卵的沙滩”；选项B意为“气候不断升高使它们的卵孵化困难”；选项C意为“海平面上升使它们的幼体难以成长”；选项D意为“需要更长时间才能适应海滩的高温”。根据主题句可知，全球变暖，海洋变暖，水平面上升，沙滩变小，蠵龟能产卵的区域变小了。A选项“它威胁到蠵龟产卵的沙滩”正确。 -

正确答案： A解析：
分析推理题。由本文最后一句可知，作者认为英国法庭对待预先写好的遗嘱（Advance Directive）没有理由（与前文所说的病人有权拒绝治疗、终止生命）有什么不同。由于病人拒绝治疗是英国法律所允许的，因此作者指的就是英国法律也应当允许Advance Directive这种形式的遗嘱，故A项为正确答案。 -

本题是细节题。第五段第一句：As turtle supplies in China dwindled，traders started importing the animals from Vietnam. ——由于在中国市场上乌龟供应的缩小，商人们开始从越南进口这种动物；所以可知“供过于求”是其原因；因此答案为C。
