Ⅱ.阅读理解(8 min.)(2012·浙江)Easter(复活节) is still a great day for worship, nd running around the yard finding eggs, but every year it gets quite a bit worse for bunnies.
And no, not because the kids like to pull their ears. The _culprit_ is climate change, and some researchers found that rising temperatures are having harmful effects on at least five species of rabbit in the US.
Take the Lower Keys March rabbit, for instance. An endangered species that lives in the Lower Florida Keys, this species of cottontail is a great swimmer ?it lives on the islands!
—but it is already severely affected by development and now by rising sea levels. According to the Center for Biological Diversity, an ocean level rise of only 0.6 meters will send these guys jumping to higher ground and a 0.9meter rise would wipe out their habitat (栖息地) completely.(捕食者). As the number of days with snow decreases all across the country, olor change is controlled by the number of hours of sunlight, but whether the rabbit will be able to adapt quick enough to survive is a big question. The National Wildlife Federation has reported that hunters have noticed their numbers are already markedly down.
American pikas or rock rabbits, a relative of rabbits and hares, might be the first of these species to go extinct due to climate change. About 78 inches long, pikas live high in the cool, damp mountains west of the Rocky Mountains. As global temperatures rise, they would naturally migrate (迁徙) to higher ground — but they already occupy the mountain tops. They can't go any higher. The National Wildlife Federation reports that they might not be able to stand the new temperatures as their habitat beats up.itable plants for them to move higher, so they are stuck in the middle. Scientists are concerned about their populations.
Native to the US, pygmy rabbits weigh less than 1 pound and live in the American West. They are believed to be the smallest rabbits in the world. Their habitats have been destroyed by development. Several populations, such as the Columbia Basin pygmy, almost went extinct and were saved by zoo breeding programs. Pygmy rabbits also rely on winter cover by digging tunnels through the snow to escape predators, but lesser snowfall is leaving them exposed.
All of this gives new meaning to dressing up in a giant bunny costume this Easter.

Ⅲ.阅读简答(10 min.) Plan Toys has long been a green company. It always tried to use environmentallysafe and sustainable(可持续的) methods to produce green toys. Now they have a new green toy that makes green living a reality. The Green Dollhouse lets children play the role of family life and learn about their possible influences on the environment. This gives young children a greater understanding of what going green really means. Plan Toys used totally green production methods to produce the Green Dollhouse. These toys are made from the green materials, such as wood, which don't contain any chemicals. The home has 5 rooms: a living room, kitchen, bathroom, children's bedroom, and master's bedroom.
Young children, boys and girls alike, will now have the opportunity to play with this environmentallyfriendly toy that mimics (模仿) the future green home. (可替代的) energy sources through a fun, handson method. This really gives them a better understanding of what the adults around them are talking about. Most homes are not powered by electricity from alternative natural energies such as solar energy, (and even parents) may hear of this type of energy, but not know how they can use it in their life. Now they can find out!
Plan Toys' Green Dollhouse uses a special model wind turbine(风轮机)and solar energy panel(太阳能板). They can control natural power and turn it into electricity. The electricity is produced for home energy use. Collecting rain in a rain collector provides water for the home. A model of a green front wall helps control and keep a comfortable temperature within the house. Also, a shade canopy(罩篷) can be put up or down to control the wind and sunlight coming into the house. 1. What (No more than 7 words)

Ⅳ. 阅读填空(10 min.)tracts them most is the idea that you pay your babysitter not in cash, but in paper cards. When you join the babysitting pool, you are given thirty cards, which are worth 30璵inute babysitting time each. For each half an hour while you are gone, the babysi tter gets paid one card.
There are rules regulating this service. You should not watch more than three kids at a time including your own. On big holidays, such as Christmas and Thanksgiving, the babysitter should be paid twice as much, which means two cards for every half an hour. When you leave the babysitting pool, you should return all the cards. If you are out of cards, you cannot use money instead. You should have to baby璼it for others to earn enough cards so that you will have them handy when you you rself need a babysitter.
Many mothers think highly of this service. It keeps children in constant touch with one another, and makes life easier for the mothers. Since in most cases, the babysitter is the mother who watches other kids at her own home, it is still possible for her to do her own things while the kids play with each other. In fact most mother babysitters find that their own kids are less of a monster and easier to watch when they are around other playmates. Moreover, since the babysitting pool service does not involve money, it will not be a financial loss to the family.
In the past year, the babysitting pool has helped so many mothers with their work that they all think that it is indeed a good community service worth keeping.

Ⅴ.One possible version:
Oh, my God! Where is my iphone? I made a call just now on the bus. Suddenly I remember I put it on the seat next to me. It's my birthday present from my father. He would be sad if he knew I lost it.
I went to school as usual this morning, trying to stay calm. The first two classes seemed so slow as I was a little upset and absentminded. During the break, my Math teacher asked me to his office. I was very uneasy because I didn't know what I had done wrong. Unexpectedly, my teacher showed me my iphone the moment he saw me standing before him. Overjoyed, I grasped it back quickly. It turned out that the driver of the bus I often take saw the picture of me on my iphone screen. Knowing that I was a student of this school, he sent it to our reception office.
There is no happiness which is better than that acquired by getting back what has been lost. Moreover, I am greatly moved by what the driver did for me. Ordinary as he is, he is indeed a worthy man and respectable. The event will always remind me to be kind and helpful.
限制性定语从句
1. D 考查定语从句。句意:灵魂的洗礼是一个渐进的过程,在这个过程中,生活的每一个细节都要考虑到。从句使用被动语态,不需要宾语,而且也不缺少主语,因此不能用关系代词;what不引导定语从句。故选D。which指代前面的process,in which表示“在这个过程中”。
2. B 考查定语从句的用法。句意为:讲演的方式栩栩如生,与课堂教学大相径庭。定语从句的先行词是way,连词可用in which, that或省略,但是此题先行词在从句中作主语。只能用that。
3. D 句意为:上个月她伤了腿,当时一辆快速的电瓶车撞上了她的普通自行车。此处when引导一个表示时间的定语从句,先行词是last month。
4. C 句意为:许多获得了海外文凭的中国人才显示出回国的兴趣。这是一个定语从句,先行词是talents。
5. C 句意为:对那些从事教育的人来说,具有幽默感是至关重要的。先行词为those表示人,在定语从句中作主语。
6. B 句意为:今年晚些时候她会去上海参加一个展览会,与银行合作吸引新的客户。定语从句where=in the exhibition在展览会上。
7. C 句意为:在一个认可人与人之间的差异的社会里,残疾人常不会大声讲出他们的情感。society后的定语从句常由where引导,但是该定语从句本身缺主语。
8. C 句意为:本书可给那些收养了孩子的家庭用之于寻找灵感。这是一个定语从句,先行词是families,意为“家庭,家庭成员”。能收养孩子,能读书的当然是“家庭成员”,因此指人,因为前面已经出现that,所以此处用who。
9. C 句意为:对孩子们来说,夏天就是野营的时间。他们可以参加体育活动,结识新朋友。这是一个定语从句,先行词为camp,where=in the camp。
10. A 句意为:参加夏令营的是那些来自于家长关注其性格培养的家庭的孩子。第一空的先行词是those指人children;第二空先行词是family,从句的主语是parents,不能说是家庭的家长,只能是孩子的家长。
11. C 句意为:夫妻双方有一方是独生子女的可以生育第二胎。先行词couples在定语从句either the husband or wife is an only child不充当主语,表语或宾语,只能选用连接副词或介词+which的形式。
12. D 句意为:读这本书就像在与一位对世界有很深的思考的朋友在交谈。这是一个定语从句,先行词为a friend。注意选when的话,就是时间状语从句,可是从句缺少主语。
13. C 句意为:我还没有见到过一个努力学习的学生没有得到回报的情况。case, point, situation等词后接定语从句,常用where或in which。
14. C 句意为:风暴警报是在一大清早发布的。初看起来,这是一个强调句。但是,当我们还原时,发现an early evening前面还差一个介词。因此判断是一个定语从句,先行词为时间。
15. C 句意为:Outward Bound是一个项目,其目的旨在帮助人们学会关心自己。定语从句的主语purpose与先行词program有所属关系。
16. A 句意为:婴儿时的他有一双蓝色的大眼睛和长长的头发,后来长成了满头的金发。定语从句缺少主语,先行词为hair表示物。
17. A 句意为:12到16岁的孩子可以参加让他们探索发现香港的白天野营活动。此处是定语从句,尽管先行词camp表示地点,但是其在从句中作主语。
18. D 句意为:男孩子所做的一切都得到高度重视,然而,我奇怪的是,谁决定了他们做的就有很高的价值呢。第一空的定语从句先行词为不定代词,只能用that;第二空是宾语从句,但此空不能用whoever(任何人),要用who(不知是谁)。
19. C 句意为:作者用一封信致其儿子,而他儿子永远不可能读到的信开头的。这是一个分隔定语从句,介词短语to his sons分隔开了先行词a letter和引导词that,that实际上在定语从句中作动词read的宾语。
20. C 句意是:习近平的出席是中国派遣高官参加外国的国庆节的少数场合之一。先行词是occasions,表时间,引导定语从句的关系词在从句中作状语,所以用when。
21. A 句意为:他是一位如此优秀的家庭主男,以至于社区的所有人都非常尊敬他。such后的定语从句只能由as引导。分辨从句是状语从句还是定语从句,主要看从句中是否有主语或宾语,看从句是否完整。
22. D 句意为:新年除夕是还账的时间。按过去的风俗,旧账不能拖到新年。这是一个时间定语从句,先行词为the time。
23. A 句意为:这本书详细介绍了马克思理论,他现在仍然是共产主义的引路人。这是一个非限定性定语从句,很容易看成一个分隔定语从句,认为其先行词是the scientific theory,实际上其先行词是人。
24. C 此题很容易误选 B,认为 around 是介词,选 which 用以代替前面的名词 shop,在此用作介词 around 的宾语。此分析语法上并不算错,但问题是,照此分析,此句的意思即为:有没有这样一个商店,在它的附近我们可以买到梳妆用品(你喜欢在商店的附近而不在商店里面买东西吗)?其实此题的最佳选项应是 C,其中的 around 是副词(意为“在附近”),而不是介词,其后 where 引导的定语从句修饰其前的地点名词 shop,句意为:附近有没有我们可以买到梳妆用品的商店?
25. D 定语从句中有些特例,那就是case,point,situation等词作定语从句的先行词,若定语从句缺状语,则用where引导。此处先行词为cases,后面定语从句缺少状语,故选where。
26. D 英语中,point/situation/case等作先行词,其后的关系词在定语从句中作状语时,用关系副词where(相当于in which)。该定语从句缺少地点状语,因此用where。what不能引导定语从句。
27. D 句意为“那些成功的盲人舞蹈家认为舞蹈是一项视觉比听觉更为重要的活动。”先行词activity后跟定语从句,从句中where作地点状语,意为“在那儿,在那种情况或场合下”。
28. B 句意为:不爱运动或者饮食热量偏高的孩子们会很快发胖。本定语从句不缺成分,为主系表结构,因此只能考虑填关系副词。A中的what不能引导定语从句。whose谁的,符合题意。
29. D 从成分分析,空格后有主语而且是一个被动语态的句子,不需要宾语。空格处缺少的是状语,首先排除A、C两项。再从题意分析,此处表示“在……情景中”,而不是表示“通过……”,因此用in which符合题意和语法要求。
30. D 当that引导定语从句时,that前面不能加介词,因此可排A、B两项;train sb. for sth.意为“就……对某人进行专门训练”。
