　　Thousands of eggs of the endangered Olive Ridley turtles (海龟) on the beach have failed to hatch this year because of the recent oil spill. An oil coat had spread over a seven km area near the nesting site off the Rushikulya beach after around eight tons of furnace oil leaked from an Essar­owned vessel near Gopalpur port, 20 km from here, on April 12.

　　Being pushed by high tide, the spilled oil spread to the coast. Villagers claimed that they had seen carcasses of adult turtles along the coast after the sea water had been contaminated. Around 155, 000 of the rare Olive Ridleys had nested along the coastline in March while the mass hatching of eggs, which continued for a week, ended last week.

　　“The authorities cleaned only 2 km—3 km stretch of the beach. Many eggs were damaged due to the effect of oil deposits. Moreover, many baby turtles failed to move out of the nest as the soil also got harder，” Sahu, who along with villagers of Purunabandha has been working in the turtle conservation programme in the last 16 years, said.

　　Turtle expert Kartik Shanker also raised similar concerns. “The oil spill will have an effect on the mortality rate of the hatchings. But scientifically, it is not possible to arrive at a mortality figure for it，” Shanker, a professor at the Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru, said.

　　Marine scientist Bijay Kumar Sahu said there was an immediate need for a detailed multi­discipline faculty study on the long­term impact of the oil spill on the marine environment. State forest and wildlife officials, however, refuted (反驳) the claims. “The oil spill has had no effect on the hatching process. Oil was cleaned from the beach a long time ago and the issue is now a closed chapter，” the state's Chief Conservator of Forests (Wildlife), Srivastava said.

　　The mortality rate of the hatchings is usually high with only one out of every thousand surviving to become an adult turtle. “Out of around 100­120 eggs laid by a single female turtle, only about 80 of them hatch. The new­borns then face threats from predators like crows, jackals, etc. They also get eaten up by sea predators，” wildlife activist Biswajit Mohanty said.

　　语篇解读：石油的泄漏给海洋生物带来了很大的影响，本文主要论述了石油泄漏对海龟孵化的影响。

　　1．Many baby turtles couldn't get out of their nests after they were hatched because ________.

　　A．their parents failed to find them

　　B．the oil made the soil hard to break

　　C．there was too much oil surrounding them

　　D．they were too weak to get out of their nests

　　答案：B　考查细节理解。根据文章第三段第三句中的“many baby turtles failed to move out of the nest as the soil also got harder”可知许多小海龟在被孵化出来后无力破开经过石油浸透而变硬的土壤。

　　2．The underlined “it”in Paragraph 4 probably refers to ______.

　　A．the oil spill B．the mortality rate

　　C．the rate of hatchingD．the survival of turtles

　　答案：A　考查代词指代。根据文章第四段内容可知，如今还很难对因为石油泄漏而造成的死亡数字作出科学统计，因此it指代的是前面提到的石油泄漏。

　　3．Srivastava's opinion is different from that of some other scientists in that ________.

　　A．the long­term effect of the oil spill remains to be seen

　　B．the effect of the oil spill is quite clear and it needs no study

　　C．the hatching of turtles is free from the effect of the oil spill

　　D．the oil spill does lead to a higher mortality rate of the hatchings

　　答案：C　考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段可知， Srivastava认为石油泄漏对于海龟的孵化没有影响，这一点与一些科学家的看法相反。

　　4．The best title for the passage should be “________”.

　　A．The mortality rate of the hatching of turtles

　　B．Oil spill spoils thousands of turtle eggs

　　C．How turtles survive the oil spill

　　D．Effect of oil spill on the environment

　　答案：B　考查主旨大意。浏览全文不难看出本文主要是围绕石油泄漏对海龟孵化的影响来讨论的，因此选项B适合作标题。

　　B

　　Scientists say illegal logging is threatening one of Mexico's most famous insects. Satellite pictures show large wooded areas have been cleared from the central Mexican state of Michoacan. The forests are the winter home for millions of monarch butterflies. The butterflies go there each year to reproduce. After reproducing, the adult butterflies die，but their young return to the home of their parents each spring.

　　The American space agency released the relevant satellite pictures last month. The images show the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve. A Mexican law protects trees growing in the area. The images show that about four hundred and forty­five hectares have been cleared since 2004. Scientists say that, if the clearing continues，monarch butterflies are unlikely to continue using the Reserve as their winter home.

　　For thousands of years, the butterflies have been flying to the same forests. Their trip begins along the border of Canada and the northeastern United States. The insects fly about eighty kilometers a day. They reach central Mexico after about sixty days. No one is sure why the brightly coloured orange and black butterflies chose these forests. However, scientists believe the area might offer the right mix of wetness and cool weather to keep the insects alive through the winter.

　　Lincoln Brower is a professor of biology at Sweet Briar College in Virginia. He has been studying monarch butterflies for fifty­two years. He says they have been migrating along the same path for about ten thousand years. People in Mexico have compared the arrival of the butterflies to dark cloud­like formations (阵式) filling the air. The monarchs arrive in such large numbers that they sometimes cover whole trees.

　　Mexico's President ordered special protection for the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve eight years ago. The Mexican government has struggled to enforce (强制) the order. Although illegal logging has become one way for poor people to earn money, other Mexicans are fighting to protect the butterflies' home.

　　5．What would be the best title for the text?

　　A．Illegal Clearing of Forests Threatens the Winter Home of Monarch Butterflies

　　B．The Forests Are the Winter Home for Monarch Butterflies

　　C．Monarch Butterflies Like the Winter Home in the Forests

　　D．Protecting the Forests Can Protect Monarch Butterflies

　　答案：A　从第一段第一句“Scientists say illegal logging is threatening one of Mexico's most famous insects.”以及文章的主要内容可知答案。

　　6．Why are the forests called the winter home for millions of monarch butterflies? Because each winter the butterflies travel there to ________.

　　A．avoid cold B．look for food

　　C．sleep D．produce young

　　答案：D　根据第一段第四句“The butterflies go there each year to reproduce.”可知答案。

　　7．Why did monarch butterflies choose the forest as their winter home?

　　A．It has many trees.

　　B．It might have the appropriate environment for them.

　　C．It is easy to get to.

　　D．It is warm.

　　答案：B　根据第三段最后一句“However, scientists believe the area might offer the right mix of wetness and cool weather to keep the insects alive through the winter.”可知答案。

　　8．The underlined word “migrating” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to “________”.

　　A．going to live in another area or country, especially in order to find food

　　B．travelling regularly from one part of the world to another

　　C．changing from one place or position to another

　　D．starting using an area again as a place to live

　　答案：B　根据文章内容以及后面句子“along the same path for about ten thousand years”中的关键词the same path可以推知答案。

　　9．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

　　A．Mexico has nothing but forests.

　　B．All Mexicans are destroying the butterflies' home.

　　C．Most people in Mexico are poor.

　　D．Some poor people in Mexico often break the law.

　　答案：D　从本段最后一句“Although illegal logging has become one way for poor people to ear money, other Mexicans are fighting to protect the butterflies' home.”可以知道答案。

　　Ⅳ.短文填空

　　根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

　　__1__ We are learning from life constantly, as long as we recognize and accept those lessons. When you choose to be a student of life, you open yourself to limitless opportunities.

　　Explore the world. Don't limit yourself to your hometown or to the city you got your first job.__2__ It doesn't have to be just one town or one apartment complex. Backpacking may not be for everyone, but it's the only way you can see the world. Travelling doesn't just have to be going overseas but also dropping by many states. Culture exists not just in a country but even in small communities.

　　Acquire new life skills. Maybe it's time that you finally learn how to fix a broken faucet or even fix the faulty light in your bathroom. You can finally cross out your bucket list items that have been there forever. Learn how to drive a car or ride a bike. There are definitely things you don't know how to do, and you have a lifetime ahead of you to learn.__3__

　　Be cultured. Watch as many movies and read as many books as possible. And it doesn't mean that you only watch the ones with high ratings from critics. Books and movies are the fruit of the writers' or the makers' life experiences and understanding of their surroundings. Movies and books are a good look into how people interpret the world.

　　__4__ For some individuals, to grow older means to keep your circle of friends down to a few, but that shouldn't stop you from meeting new people. Widen your circle by allowing people into your life and letting them get to know you. Widening your circle to people from all walks of life gives you a bigger and better perspective of the world.

　　Do many first's. When was the last time you did something for the first time? __5__. It can be as simple as watching a movie alone or as big as trying bungee jumping. Doing something for the first time doesn't need to have a life­changing effect. It can be a simple realization that apparently, going to a film screening by yourself isn't so bad.

　　So, there are so much more to learn, especially now that we're virtually connected to everyone in the world. As a student of life, it's really up to you to use all your resources and make it into something enriching.

　　A．Widen your circle.

　　B．Entertain yourself.

　　C．Lessons are not limited to our academic studies.

　　D．It's never too late to start learning something new.

　　E．You don't always need a deep understanding for everything you do.

　　F．Go beyond the place you consider home, because home can be many places.

　　G．If you can't think of the answer, maybe you need to go out and try something new.
