The Book of Life
So far,scientists have named about 1.8 million living species,and that's just a fraction of what proba-
bly exists on Earth.With so many plants,animals,and other creatures covering the planet,it can be tough
to figure out what type of spider is moving up your leg or what kind of bird is flying by.
A soon-to-be-launched Web site might help. An international team of researchers has announced the
creation of a Web-based Encyclopedia of Life(EoL).The project aims to catalog every species on Earth in a
single,easy-to-use reference guide.
To get the encyclopedia started,the creators will use information from scientific databases that already
exist.And eventually,in special sections of the site,nonscientists with specialized knowledge will get to join
in.Bird-watchers,for example,will be able to input which birds they've seen and where.The technology
for this kind of tool has only recently become available.
As the EoL develops, you might find it useful for school projects.The site will feature special pages for
kids who are studying ecosystems（生态系统）in their neighborhoods. To make sure the encyclopedia is
accurate,scientists will review much of the information added to it. People who visit the site will be able to
choose to leave out pages that haven't been reviewed.
Another convenient feature of the EoL is that you'll be able to pick the level of detail you see to match
your interests,age,and current knowledge.If you wanted to learn about bears for a science class report,for
example,you could use the"novice"setting to get basic information about the animals.On the"expert"
setting,on the other hand,you could get much more detailed information about the history,literature and
exploration of bears.
It now takes years for scientists to collect all the data they need to describe and analyze species.The
creators of the Encyclopedia of Life hope that their new tool will speed that process."Spider" and"bird"mentioned in Paragraph 1 are examples to illustrate_______________.
A:animals are people's friends
B:there are numerous living species on Earth
C:it is easy to see spiders and birds
D:there are many types of spiders and birds答案：B解析：由文章内容可知，文章开头运用“蜘蛛”和“鸟”的例子主要说明地球上生物的种类太 多了。
根据第二段的最后一句话可知正确答案。
由第三段的第一句话可知答案。
novice在文中的意思为“新手，初学者”，选项中的beginner符合题意。
由文中第一句话可知“科学家已经命名1.8百万种物种了”，而不是“仅仅一小部分”, 其他选项在文中都能找到依据。 第三篇 文章主要介绍了为什么野生的大象比圈养的大象要长寿。 -

DAs a common means of righting wrecked ships, parbuckling had never been carried out on a vessel of the Concordia’s size.
正确答案： B解析：
根据原文第四段第二句话“it has never before been used on such a large ship”，可知，套拉索这个过程还从来没有被用在如此巨型的船只上，与D项相符，故选D。根据原文第二段第一句话“The Costa Concordia is twice the weight of the Titanic”可知，歌诗达协和号是泰坦尼克号重量的两倍，选项A错误。根据原文第二段第三句话，让歌诗达协和号重新直立起来花了工程师19个小时的时间，选项B错误。根据原文第四段第三句话“He and other engineers worked for 19 hours before Concordia was declared completely upright”可知，工人们一直在等待有利的天气条件展开行动，选项C错误。因此选D。 -
第7题：

BMcDonald’s has opened its restaurants in every city of the world.
CMcDonald’s has over 30,000 locations in the world now.
DMcDonald’s was very small in scale in the beginning.
正确答案： D解析：
文章首段提到“Since its founding in 1948”，麦当劳成立于1948年，故A项正确；由“McDonald’s has grown from a family burger (汉堡包) stand to a global fast-food chain, with more than 30,000 locations in 118 countries.”可知，麦当劳起初规模很小，而现在全球3万多个城市都有麦当劳的分店，故C、D两项正确。B项“麦当劳在全世界每个城市都有分店”过于绝对，首段只提到其在118个国家有分店。故本题选B。 -

正确答案： B解析：
信息题。A选项“公司员工20年前就开始穿非正式的服装”和原文第二段“In the early 1990s”不符；B选项“自从1990年代早期，穿休闲服饰就已经成为日常的现象”，而原文意为1990年代早期，穿休闲服饰的风潮刚刚兴起，与此不符；C选项“穿休闲服装最初是作为对员工的一种优待而推行的”和原文“What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees . . .”意义相符，答案为C；D选项“很多员工喜欢穿休闲服饰是为了给他人留下深刻的印象”未在原文提及。 -

正确答案： C解析：
题目问的是：根据文章，下列关于安德里拉乔利纳的描述哪一项是错误的？文章第6段提到“The former mayor of Antananarivo is little known in the provinces.”,说明他作为前塔那那利佛市长，鲜有人知。D项说他已经是响彻整个马达加斯加的著名演说家，与原文不符。故选D。 -

BThe book is mainly about Anne’s school life
CAnne loved life though she was in difficult time
DThe book has been put into nearly 30 languages
正确答案： D解析：
由原文第三段中的“In her diary, Anne wrote down her thoughts, her feelings, her hopes and her dreams for the future.”以及“I feel the beauty of nature and the goodness of the people around me”等内容可推断出生活条件虽然艰辛，但Anne仍然热爱生活。故正确答案为C项。A项表达的意思与原文意思相反，原文中第三段说到她对生活和未来仍然充满希望。B项错误，原文第三段指出，Anne的日记是关于她在纳粹集中营的生活的感悟，而不是关于她的学校生活的。原文第三段提到“It has been put into over 30 languages”，即她的日记被翻译成30多种语言，而不是D项中描述的“近30种语言”。故D项也错误。 -
