AAll over the country many of our native species are in great decline. But many farmers are working hard to restore and increase natural habitats to help bring the wildlife back.Creating new habitats for wildlife in WalesFarmer Chris James take a sustainable (可持续性的) approach to farming at Gupton Farm in Wales. Chris has applied a technique called precision farming to the more productive land. This uses detailed analysis of nutrient levels in the soil to target fertiliser more carefully. This means he uses fewer chemicals, which is better for water quality.Good food and wildlife in GloucestershireJonty and Mel Brunyee believe that good food, native livestock (家禽) and wildlife conservation go hand-in-hand. The couple work at Conygree Farm in Gloucestershire. Their aim is to develop an organic and sustainable farming system that improves soil quality, restores key habitats and builds links with the wider community through education work.Farming for nature in YorkshireNature is very important to Neil and Leigh Heseltine. The couple are fourth generation at Hill Top Farm in Yorkshire. They’ve used sustainable ways of farming to protect the area’s scenery. In 2003 they re-introduced BeltedGalloway cattle. This helps support the upland ecosystem by making space for native species to develop.The importance of making space for nature in SussexWorking with nature to produce high quality meat is the goal for Paul and Madeleine Crawley at Courthill Farm in Sussex. To do this, they are making sure there are areas of wildflowers. These provide food and protection for insects, birds and animals.21. What benefit can precision farming bring?A. Protecting water quality.B. Stopping using fertilisers.C. Increasing crop production.D. Improving soil’s nutrient levels.22. Who wants to influence more people to preserve nature?A. Chris James.B. Mel BrunyeeC. Leigh HeseltineD. Madeleine Crawley23. What do the farmers in the text have in common?A. They were brought up at farms.B. They are working with their families,C. They are experts in raising and training animals.D. They are trying to develop a good relationship with nature.BThere is a restaurant in my Maine town that has done little to update itself over the past 80 years. This is part of its charm, as is the wooden phone booth that sits neglected in the age of the cellphone. Ah, the phone booth. We need it now more than ever.For me it symbolizes that phone calls were once private affairs, even if the information being shared was not sensitive in any way. It was simply assumed that a phone cenversation was meant for two people, and two people only.Growing up in the 1960s, we had only phone in the house. As a kid, I didn’t get, or make many calls because all my friends five within earshot and I could just yell out the window if I wanted their attention. I do, however, remember answering the phone, asking for the identity of the caller, and then handing the phone to my mom, She’d take it, say “Hello, Mrs…one moment please,” and then as she placed her hand over the receiver, she turned to me, and directed, “This is for me. Why don’t you go outside and play?”Flash forward to what cellphones have done to our life. Within the space of a few years, overhearing private conversations seems to be normal. Not long ago I was sitting in Boston’s South Station, near a man who was on his cellphone, waiting for my train.The following is what the man had to sa y, “Yes, tha t’s right. The red and yellow roses.” Then he continued to recite his card number arid expiration date (有效期). I stared at the fellow. He glanced at me and asked, “What?” My response was immediate: I recited his card number back to him, along with the expiration date.There is no longer a sense of personal borders or limits. The cellphone has become a megaphone (扩音器), and I have been privy (私下知情) to details of people’s lives that I would rather not know. Maybe phone booths could serve as cellphone harbors today.24. What feature does the restaurant in Maine town have?A. It is very popularB. It is old-fashionedC. It will close downD. It has been neglected21. As a kid, the authorA. had a few friendsB. often called his friendsC. was not allowed to answer the phoneD. learned that phone conversations are private26. What is the author’s attitude towards cellphone?A. CriticalB. TolerateC. OptimisticD. Approving27. What did the author do in Boston’s South Station?A. He talked to an old friend.B. He bought some colorful roses.C. He o verheard a man’s personal information.D. He helped a stranger who was making a call.CMy high school pays lots of attention to sports. Sports are well-celebrated. Arts and sciences are simply tolerated. Football players are princes. Artists are stepchildren. The ice hocky team walks on water. /Musicians just walk.I am aware that the single greatest factor in preventing heart disease is regular and active exercise, and that gets my vote. In junior high school I played baseball and loved it. What I am against is unfair allocation of community resources to sports that benefit one select group of students over another. I believe school-should be even-handed when slicing the pie.Our school will spend & 26,000 this winter alone to pay for ice time for the hocky team. That’s before even adollar is spent on coaches, insurance, transportation, and equipment. On the other hand, the drama department doesn’t even have a good set of body microphones.The athletic program at out school has become almost a religion. Many students are short of sleep because they have to catch a 6:20 a.m. school bus. The school day must start that early so athletes who travel around our town for away games (客场比赛) limit their missed classes. The result of this catering to sports is sleepy students and discouraged academic students.Meanwhile, as more and more master teachers retire, our school cannot find experienced replacements — the cost of buying a home here is unaffordable for most teachers. Last year, an advertised math position drew only a single applicant. Yet instead of following the example of the best private schools by building teacher housing on school land, our school is ready to develop the last, prized acres of school land to expand the athletic fields even further.I am not suggesting cutting down or even getting rid of any sports programs. I am simply stating that there’s no need to expand an already large athletic department. I think our school should take the advice of all wrestling coaches: Time to go on a little diet.28. How does Paragraph 1 mainly develop?A. By making comparisonsB. By providing examples.C. By analyzing reasons.D. By explaining terms.29. Why does the school day start early?A. To avoid rush hour.B. To follow the tradition.C. To let the students have more classes.D. To make the athletes miss fewer classes.30. How can the author’s school attract replacement teachers?A. By providing accommodation for teachers.B. By improving the school environment.C. By increasing the school’s reputation.D. By offering teachers high salaries.31. What does the author mean by saying “Time to go on a little diet” in the last paragraph?A. Coaches need to be more careful about athlete s’ diet.B. The school should give fewer resources to athletics.C. Athletes should limit the amount of food they eat.D. The athletic department needs to be downsized.DThe earth has changed, over and over again, throughout the course of its history, In order to survive in changing environments, species must often go through a process of adaptation. Adaptation refers to genetic change that enables an organism (生物体) such as an animal or plant to survive in its environment. If the organisms of a species cannot change along with the area in which they live, they risk dying out. Recent history has given us an important example of how organisms are able to survive once their environments change.Light gray peppered moths (胡椒蛾) and dark-colored peppered moths lived in the countryside between the cities of Manchester and London in England, Many years before the 19th century, more of the light gray peppered moths had been able to survive in their environment mostly because of their color. Birds couldn’t see the light-colored moths on the trees because the color of the moths was similar to the color of the trees.In the early 19th century, though, England began the first years of its Industrial Revolution. Many areas became occupied by a growing number of factories. Many of these factories needed coal to provide energy for their machines. When coal bums, it gives off a lot of dark-colored smokes. The trees began to blacken because of all the smoke in the air from the factories. This made the light gray peppered moths much more vulnerable. Birds could see them on the trees more dearly and easily hunt them down.Sometime in the next hundred years, scientists began to notice a huge change in the moth population living in and between the cities of Manchester and London. Most of the peppered moths were of the dark-colored kind! What caused this change was the fact that birds had eaten a lot of the light gray peppered moths because the moths could be seen clearly on the darkened trees. The dark- colored peppered moths in the area survived much more easily and mated with other dark-colored peppered moths until most of the population of peppered moths became dark-colored.32. If a species can’t adapt to the changing environment, they ar e likely to .A. be driven out of their habitat.B. become extinctC. move to another environmentD. go through genetic changes33. What conclusion can be drawn from the change in two kinds of moths?A. There were previously no dark-colored peppered moths.B. The light-colored peppered moths moved to a new environment.C. The color change had nothing to do with the change in their environment.D. Dark coloring was better for the peppered moths, survival in the 19th century.34. What does the underlined word “vulnerable” probably mean?A. Quick to changeB. Open to attackC. Easily defendedD. In a strong position35. What does the author mainly describe in the passage?A. How the Industrial Revolution improved the lives of workers.B. How the earth changed throughout the course of its history.C. How human influence organisms through artificial selection.D. How natural selection changed the population of peppered moths.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）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。
