　　When you travel in South America, you’d better pay attention to the following three kinds of dangerous South American animals. Piranhas（水虎鱼）

　　Although only a small number of piranhas are considered to be dangerous to humans, the red-bellied piranha is definitely one of those. Evidence has shown that a large group of piranhas can absolutely eat a herd of large animals crossing the river, leaving only bones. This fish lives in the freshwater streams of South America, and they can smell the blood from far away and launch attacks swiftly. It is said that they are only dangerous to humans if the water volumes are less and lower. Anacondas（水蟒）

　　This South American monster of a creature often appears in the films or your nightmares！They have weighed over 230 kilograms. It is often considered to be the biggest snake in the world. You certainly don’t want to get caught alone with this snake due to its method of attacking and killing its victim. It is indeed a remarkably different brand of snake type as it regularly coils（缠绕）around all over its target, increasing the pressure until eventually its victim dies. Its jaws are powered by large muscles that produce enough power for its over 100 sharp teeth to pass through the thick skin of an crocodile. They don’t have poison. Sometimes they prefer to camouflage themselves so they look like their surroundings and swiftly draw back when humans are near. Golden Poisonous Frogs

　　The golden poison frog might be the most-deadly of the South American animal, which is protected by means of poison. This very small frog, less than 55 mm in length, packs enough punch（效力）to take down a pair of African bull elephants. This apparently harmless frog has always been known to have killed people who have touched it directly. It’s also been noted that chicken and dogs have died by contacting things on which a golden poison frog had wandered! In intense colors, they normally look attractive to their targets. 60. What can we learn about piranhas from the passage?     A. Piranhas are the most dangerous animals.

　　    B. Piranhas like to live in the deep seabed.     C. Piranhas may attack human beings when the water level is low.     D. Piranhas only attack human beings when they cross the river in groups. 61. How does an anaconda kill its victim according to the passage?     A. It often uses its poison to kill its victim.

　　B. It often uses its strength to kill its victim.     C. It kills its victim mainly using its powerful teeth.

　　D. It kills its victim with the help of other snakes. 62. The underlined word “camouflage” in Paragraph 3 means “________”.     A. hide itself by appearing like the surroundings B. terrify and capture the enemy by making much noise     C. move around to search for delicious food

　　D. give off harmful gas to kill the targets 63. Chicken and dogs are mentioned in Paragraph 4 to show that ________.     A. no animals can survive the poison of the golden poison frog     B. they like to wander along the path of the golden poison frog     C. the golden poison frog likes eating them most     D. the poison of the golden poison frog is deadly

　　(2017·河北省普通高中质量检测)

　　In an ideal world，people would not test medicines on animals.Such experiments are stressful and sometimes painful for animals，and expensive and time­consuming for people.Yet animal experimentation is still needed to help bridge vast gaps in medical knowledge.That is why there are some 50 to 100 million animals used in research around the world each year.

　　Europe，on the whole，has the world’s most restrictive laws on animal experiments.Even so，its scientists use some 12 million animals a year，most of them mice and rats，for medical research.Official statistics show that just 1.1 million animals are used in research in America each year.But that is misleading.The American authorities do not think mice and rats are worth counting and，as these are the most common laboratory animals，the true figure is much higher.Japan and China have even less comprehensive data than America.

　　Now Europe is reforming the rules governing animal experiments by restricting the number of animals used in labs.Alternatives to animal testing，such as using human tissue or computer models，are now strongly recommended.In addition，sharing all research results freely should help to reduce the number of animals for scientific use.At present，scientists often share only the results of successful experiments.If their findings do not fit the hypothesis being tested，the work never sees the light of day.This practice means wasting time，money，and animals’ lives in endlessly repeating the failed experiments.

　　Animal experimentation has taught humanity a great deal and saved countless lives.It needs to continue，even if that means animals sometimes suffer.Europe’s new measures should eventually both reduce the number of animals used in experiments and improve the way in which scientific research is conducted.

　　1．What is the main idea of this passage?

　　A．The success of animal experiments should be ensured.

　　B．A ban on the use of animals in the lab should be enforced.

　　C．Greater efforts need to be taken to reduce the number of lab animals.

　　D．Scientists should be required to share their research results with each other.

　　2．Which of the following statements is true about animals used in the lab?

　　A．America uses only about 1.1 million lab animals per year.

　　B．Europe does not use mice and rats as lab animals at all.

　　C．Britain does not use as many lab animals as China does.

　　D．Japan has limited data on the number of lab animals used each year.

　　3．Which of the following is mentionad as an alternative to replace animal experiments?

　　A．Statistical studies.

　　B．Computer models.

　　C．DNA planted in animals.

　　D．Tissue from dead animals.

　　4．What usually happens to unsuccessful animal experiments?

　　A．They are not revealed to the public.

　　B．They are made into teaching materials.

　　C．They are collected for future publication.

　　D．They are not removed from the research topic list.

　　【答案解析】语篇解读：　用动物进行试验被人们的舆论推向了风口浪尖，然而，受诸多因素的影响，终止动物试验的道路依然任重而道远。尽管欧洲有严格的法律限制，但是仍然需要另找突破口。

　　1．解析：　主旨大意题。文章第一段指出用动物进行试验难以杜绝的原因，第二段提到欧洲对动物试验的法律限制的效果并不理想，第三段讲了欧洲为限制动物试验所作的努力，最后一段提到欧洲的新措施应该既要减少用于试验的动物的数量，又要改善科学研究的方法，所以C项最能概括文章大意。

　　答案：　C

　　2．解析：　正误判断题。第二段的最后一句提到日本和中国与美国的数据相比甚至更不全面，由此可推知日本对每年用于实验室动物的数据记录有限。

　　答案：　D

　　3．解析：　细节理解题。根据第三段第二句中的内容可知可用“人体组织”和“电脑模型”来取代动物试验。

　　答案：　B

　　4．解析：　推理判断题。根据第三段中的倒数第二、第三句可知，科学家们只分享成功的试验，如果结果与假设不符，所做的工作将永不公开。由此可推断不成功的试验不会展示给公众。

　　答案：　A

　　D

　　efficiency and comfort. Clean or replace filters monthly or as needed.

　　For central air conditioning systems and room sir conditioners, look for the ENERGY STAR, the federal government’s symbol for energy efficiency. For central air, purchase the system with the highest possible Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio（SEER）.

　　Use energy-efficient ceiling fans either alone or with air conditioning Ceiling fans do a great job of circulating air. When used with air conditioning, fans allow you to raise the thermostat（恒温器）and cut costs. Ceiling fans cool people, not rooms, so before you leave, turn off the ceiling fan.

　　Let a programmable ibermostat “remember for you”to automatically adjust the indoor climate with your daily and weekend patterns to reduce cooling bills by up to 10 percent. You can come home to a comfortable house without wasting energy and cresting pollution all day while you are at work.

　　Try to make your home airtight enough to increase your comfort, make your home quieter and cleaner and reduce your cooling costs up to 20 percent.

　　Cut your air conditioning load, and reduce pollution by planting leafy trees

　　around your home and fixing reflective bricks on your roof.

　　Close blinds or shades on south-and west-facing windows during the day, or fix shading equipment to avoid beat build-up.

　　Turn off everything not in use: lights, TVs, computers. And use fluorescent bulbs（荧光灯）, which provide bright, warm light while using at least two-thirds less energy, producing 70 percent Jess beat and lasting up to 10 times longer than incandescent bulbs（白炽灯）.

　　Drive the car that gets better gas mileage whenever possible if you own more than one vehicle. If you drive 12,500 miles a year, switching 10 percent of your trips from a car that gets 20 miles per gallon to one that gets 30 mpg will save you more than $65 per year.

　　Carpool. The average U.S. commutes（乘车上班族）could save about $260 a year by sharing cars twice a Week with two other people in a car that gets 20.1 mpg—assuming the three passengers share the cost of gas.

　　68. Acoording to the passage, the thermostat is used to

　　.

　　A.make rooms quieter

　　B.control room tempersture

　　C.turn off the air conditioner

　　D.reduce room air pollution

　　69. We can conclude from the passage that the author probalily discourages

　　.

　　A.planting leafy trees around your home

　　B.turning off the ceiling fan before you leave your house

　　C.keeping your south-facing windows open during the day

　　D.using fluorescent bulbs instead of incandescent bulbs

　　MUMBAI, India —The children in their party clothes on the stage were very excited when they received the award. And the two of them said, "It’s unbelievable!"

　　Nine-year-old Rubina Ali, and Azharuddin Ismail, 10, were living a very different life and apparently loving every minute of it. The two, some of the child stars of the Oscar-winning Slumdog Millionaire (《贫民窟的百万富翁》)movie, know the Indian slums very well. That was where they grew up, and it is where they will return at the end of their Hollywood dream trip.

　　But before going back home, there was an interview with the host, Ryan Seacrest. During the interview they smiled and repeated their disbelief at what was happening to them. To their surprise, their movie won the first place in the Oscars. When the two received the award, it was late morning in the children’s home city of Mumbai, where their family, friends and many fellow residents of the slums watched the results from Hollywood.

　　"I don’t really know what the Oscars are," Rubina’s mother said. "I’m just glad my daughter looks happy, though she told me she missed Indian food."

　　"Our children lead a dog’s life," Rubina’s mother said, pointing at the rubbish everywhere, the open drains (下水道) and the lack of education opportunities.

　　In a few days they will be back in Mumbai and back in the slums. Fortunately, according to media reports, the movie’s director, Danny Boyle, has promised to help the children he chose from the slums go to a proper school.

　　The two don’t need to worry about their daily lives because of the Oscar success of Slumdog Millionaire. But the poverty and lack of education opportunities —the central theme of the movie —is always all around.
