27、共两节， 满分40分）第一节：（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A,B,C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。ANow scientists believe that global warming affects hibernating animals, causing them to wake up earlier. While this may seem a little concern, it is in fact a significant environmental problem. The shortened hibernation period could
28、 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 thei
29、r 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 a
30、t 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 anima
31、ls 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
32、. 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 arent as available as they were before. A marmot may wake up when temperatures get warmer, thinking its spring, but plants wi
33、ll 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 wil
34、l also begin to change their migration patterns or begin to give birth earlier. For many biologists, thats 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. Gl
35、obal 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 marmo
36、t so as to . A. explain that global warming influences animals hibernationB. indicate that the weather gets warmer and warmer nowC. show that the weather in the United States is quite differentD. say some animals do not hibernate now due to warm weather68. The underlined word “slumber ”in the fourth
37、 paragraph means“”. A. weatherB. activityC. nestD. sleep69. Why cant marmots find enough food when they wake up? A. Because there are too many marmots in the wild now. B. Because plants havent received enough sunlight for spring growth. C. Because winter days end much earlier than before. D. Because
38、 more and more animal species skip hibernation now. BOnce 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 ban
39、k but not enough to gain hold of the ground. The saint saw scorpions 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. I
40、t struggled to come out of water again. The saints 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
41、 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 ba
42、nk. 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, t
43、here 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. Im surprised that even after it stung you, you still went on. Why? ”“Oh! Thats pretty simple, ”he replied softly rubbing his stung hands against each other. “This was a s
44、corpion, 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 chai
45、n. 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.
