　　To win an Oscar is an achievement at any age. To do so at 22, like Jennifer Lawrence, is just amazing. Recently, the American star won Best Actress at this year's Academy Awards for her role in the film Silver Linings Playbook. According to Time magazine's Richard Corliss, Lawrence is a rare young actress who lends mature intelligence to any role.

　　Though Lawrence has found great success through her big screen work, she wasn't sure what she really liked doing before the age of 14.She thought she'd go to college and maybe find a career as a doctor or a travel agent.

　　Lawrence's two brothers were star athletes and one of them was a straight­A student. Unlike them, she suffered through school, never finding where she belonged. However, during a trip to New York, Lawrence suddenly realized that she wanted to be an actress. When she was enjoying the beautiful city, a model seeker asked if he could take her picture, and the next day he called her in for an audition (试镜)．

　　“I read the script and it was the first time I had that feeling like I understand this，”Lawrence said.“Within 20 minutes in the cab ride from the hotel, I decided I didn't want to be a model. In fact, I wanted to be an actress.” Having appreciated this young lady's performance, the agency was so impressed with her reading that they signed her on the spot. But she insisted on finishing high school so she could pay her full attention to her acting career.

　　Lawrence burst onto the Hollywood scene last year with The Hunger Games, which established her as the highest grossing (票房最高的) female action hero of all time. Rolling Stone called her “the most talented young actress in America”．

　　[语篇解读]本文主要讲述了好莱坞明星詹妮弗·劳伦斯凭借自己的才能和努力飞向梦想的殿堂的故事。

　　A．Her parents were really strict with her.

　　B．She seemed not to fit in with her school life well.

　　C．Her school performance made her today's fame.

　　D．Her two brothers were doing well in all school subjects.

　　【解析】　细节理解题。根据第三段的第二句“Unlike them, she suffered through school, never finding where she belonged.”可知她不是很适应学校生活，所以选B。

　　【答案】　B

　　A．confidence B．ambition

　　While Wisconsin is blessed with many natural areas, our wildlife still faces several threats over the long term.

　　First because our population is growing and our cities are spreading into the countryside, fewer natural wildlife habitat areas are left each year. Some wildlife species, such as deer, rabbits and chipmunks, are adaptable to many conditions, but other creatures have very specific plant, moisture and temperature requirements. These are the endangered species which we risk losing if we don't preserve enough amounts of habitat for their survival.

　　Next, because many types of plants and animals have specific habitat requirements, climate change could cause disastrous losses of wildlife species from Wisconsin. A one or two degree change in average annual temperature will translate into large changes in Wisconsin, affecting snow cover in the winter and excess heat in the summer. Plants and wildlife are sensitive to moisture changes, so they will be harmed by this dryness. Unfortunately, trees and plants can't simply pick up and move to a more hospitable location. Instead, they will die where they stand, exposing and starving the wildlife that depend on them. Drought tolerant plants and trees will gradually spread to replace them by seed, but this process takes time. In many parts of Wisconsin, natural habitat is chopped up and isolated in small islands.

　　In addition, over the past 150 years, many non­native plants, mollusks(软体动物), insects, fish, birds, mammals, and diseases have found their way to Wisconsin. These “aliens” are often aggressive competitors with native wildlife, especially after they've left their own natural environments and controls.

　　Last but not least, some native wildlife can become a problem when released from their natural population controls. When wolves are scarce and hunters too few，white­tailed deer will often strip(剥夺) the woods of native wildflowers and even certain tree species, when their populations are allowed to become too high. Canada geese are beautiful birds, but when city people feed native geese as if they were pets, their populations can rise to uncomfortable levels in urban areas, resulting in polluted waterways and manure­laden lawns.

　　[语篇解读]文章主要叙述了Wisconsion面临的几个严重的威胁：由于人口增加野生动物栖息地减少；气候变化导致植物灭绝；一些野生动物数量的过度增长等。

　　5．What's the second paragraph mainly about?

　　A．Endangered wildlife.

　　B．Habitat Loss.

　　C．Adaptation to conditions.

　　D．Population growth.

　　【解析】　主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“fewer natural wildlife habitat areas are left each year”可知“每年所留下来的野生动物自然栖息地越来越少”，说明该段是讲“栖息地的丧失”，故正确答案为B项。

　　【答案】　B

　　6．What can we learn from the passage?

　　A．Non­native species do affect the lives of native species.

　　B．Non­native species get along well with native species.

　　C．Too many Canada geese won't cause problems.

　　D．Wolves can get along well with white­tailed deer.

　　【解析】　推理判断题。根据文章第四段“These ‘aliens’ are often aggressive competitors with native wildlife”可知外来的动植物对当地的野生动物的生存产生了影响，因为它们是侵略性的竞争者，所以正确答案为A项。

　　【答案】　A

　　7．The best title for the passage is ________.

　　A．Welcome to Wisconsin

　　B．An introduction to Wisconsin

　　C．Animals and plants in Wisconsin

　　D．Key threats to wildlife in Wisconsin

　　【解析】　主旨大意题。根据文章开头“faces several threats”及下面四段内容可知本文主要讲述Wisconsin地区野生动物生存所面临的主要威胁，所以正确答案为D项。

　　【答案】　D

　　8．The author's attitude towards wildlife in Wisconsin is “________ ”.

　　A．worry B．excitement

　　C．disappointmentD．surprise

　　【解析】　观点态度题。由于作者在文中讲述了四种主要存在的问题，所以他(她)对当地野生动物的生存状态表示担忧。

　　【答案】　A

　　Ⅳ. 阅读填句

　　While it is impossible to live completely free of stress, it is possible to prevent stress as well as reduce its effect when it can't be avoided. __1__

　　Try physical activity.

　　__2__ Running, walking, playing tennis, and working in your garden are just some of the activities you might try.

　　Make time for yourself.

　　__4__ If you easily get angry and can't sleep well enough, or if you are not eating properly, it will be more likely that you will fall into stressful situations. If stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping, you should consult a doctor.

　　__5__

　　Stress can result from disorganization and a feeling that “there's so much to do, and not enough time”. Trying to take care of everything at once can be too much for you and as a result, you may not achieve anything. Instead, make a list of everything you have to do, then do one thing at a time, checking off each task as it is completed. Set out to do the most important task first.

　　A．You should make every effort to eat well and get enough rest.

　　B．Do whatever you like and want to do.

　　C．The following are suggestions for ways to deal with stress.

　　D．You need a break from your daily routine to just relax and have fun.

　　E．When you are nervous, angry or upset, try releasing the pressure through exercise or physical activity.

　　F．You could smile to yourself in front of a mirror every day.
