21．（6分）Despite the vital role they play in many ecosystems, animals considered to be “ugly” are being ignored by scientists. A study had found uglier animals attract less attention and less funding when it comes to conservation efforts and research. This could mean the ugliest animal population could be under threat.
The study was conducted by wildlife biologists Trish Fleming and Bill Bateman in Perth, Australia. They looked at research publications concerning 331 Australian mammal species that broadly fell into categories they labeled as “the good, the bad and the ugly”. It turned out that studies into “the good group” and “the bad group” were carried out while “the ugly group” was ignored.
Ugly animals, such as the fruit bat and the tree bat, are being ignored by conservationists. And some animals are even becoming endangered because of how they look. The Madagascan lemur (狐猴) called the aye­aye is so ugly that the natives have long seen them as a bad sign, or a sign of death, so they kill them whenever they see them. Other ugly animals under threat include the dugong (儒艮) and the proboscis monkey (长鼻猴)．
Despite making up 45% of the 331 species studied, the ugly animals have attracted little attention from scientists. “We know so little about the biology of many of these species，” said Trish Fleming. “For many, we have catalogued their existence, but when it comes to understanding what they eat, their habitat needs, or how we could improve their chance of survival, we are still in the dark.
With Bill Bateman, Trish Fleming has called for improved funding for the lesser­known mammals. “It would be ‘tragic’ if humans ended up causing the extinction of more species without even knowing anything about them，” they said.
1、Based on the text, “the ugly animals” ________.
A．are increasing in number
B．get more conservation funds
C．play an important role in the ecosystem
D．cost quite a great deal of money in research
2、Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
A．People see the dugong as a sign of death.
B．More attention has been paid to “the ugly animals”．
C．There was not enough study on “the ugly animals”．
D．Trish and Bill did research on 331 Australian mammals.
3、The main reason for some animals' being endangered may lie in ________.
A．their unpleasant looks
B．their broad categories
C．their economic values
D．their lovely appearances
4、The best title for the text would be “________”．
A．The Ugliest Animal in the World
B．The Ugly Species Are under Threat
C．The Living Habits of the Ugly Species
D．The Proboscis Monkey Is Endangered
22．（8分） The thing that sets children apart from adults is not their ignorance，nor their lack of skills．Rather，it's their enormous capability for joy．A friend told me a story．One day，when she went to get his 6-year-old son from soccer practice，her kid greeted her with a sad face．The teacher had criticized him for not focusing on his soccer drills．The little boy walked out of the schoo1 with his head and shoulders hanging down．He seemed wrapped in sadness．But before reaching the car door，he suddenly stopped，crouching(蹲伏)down to look at something on the sidewalk．“Mom，come here! This is the strangest bug I’ve ever seen．It has ，1ike， a million legs．It’s amazing!”The little face was overflowing with indescribable excitement．
Nowadays，however，when we walk into a classroom，especially in a high school，we’ll be choked by towering books and papers，and hiding behind them are a group of motionless creatures，pens in hand，minds dry，just as the hollow men portrayed by T．S．Eliot．Their pursuit of joy has given way to their hunger for grades．Laughter and happiness are a distant memory for them．
Although joy is an unaffordable luxury in today’s increasingly fierce competition，administrators and teachers need a mindset shift from crushing students with assignments to getting them to take pleasure in productive activities which develop their important qualities，like perseverance and obligation．The assumption that pleasure is the enemy of competence and responsibility makes no sense educationally．
Adults tend to talk about learning as if it were medicine：unpleasant，but necessary and good for you．Why not think of learning as if it were food—something so valuable to humans that they want to experience it as a pleasure?
1、How is Paragraph 1 mainly developed?
A．By describing a procedure． B．By analyzing the process．
C．By giving an example． D．By collecting data．
2、What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2?
A．Summarize the previous paragraph． B．Provide some advice for the readers．
C．Introduce the main topic for discussion． D．Clarify some puzzling questions．
3、What does the text suggest administrators and teachers do?
A．Stop giving students homework．
B．Involve students in meaningful activities．
C．Supply students with luxuries．
D．Arouse students’fond memories．
4、What is the text mainly about?
A．Joy is the spokesperson for learning． B．Pleasure is the enemy of progress．
C．Education is the paradise for parents． D．Exams are a never-ending war．
23．（8分）For incoming freshmen at western Connecticut's suburban Brookfield High School, lifting a backpack weighed down with textbooks is about to give way to tapping out notes and touching electronic pages on an iPad. A few hours away, every student at Burlington High School near Boston will also start the year with new school-issued ipads, each loaded with electronic textbooks and other online resources in place of traditional texts. Apple officials say they know of more than 600 districts that have launched what are called " one-to-one " programs.
At Burlington High in suburban Boston, Principal Patrick Larkin says the $ 500 ipads is better than textbooks in the long term, though he said the school will still use traditional texts in some courses if suitable electronic programs aren' t yet available. Larkin said of textbooks, " but they' re pretty much outdated the minute they're printed and certainly by the time they're delivered".
But some experts warn that the districts need to ensure they can support the wireless infrastructure (设施 ), repairs and other costs that accompany a switch to such a tech-heavy approach. Mark Warschauer, an education and informatics(信息学) professor said, "I think people will like it.I really don't know anybody in high school that wouldn't want to get an iPad," he said. "We' re always using technology at home, then when you' re at school it' s textbooks. So it' s a good way to put all of that together. " Districts are varied in their policies on how they police students' use.
And the nation' s textbook publishing industry, accounting for $ 5.5 billion in yearly sales to secondary schools, is taking notice of the trend with its own shift in a competitive race toward developing curriculum specifically for ipads.Jay Dickey, executive director of the Association of American Publishers' schools division, said all of the major textbook publishers are moving toward electronic offerings, but at least in the short term, traditional bound textbooks are here to stay. "I think one of the real key questions that will be answered over the next several years is what sort of things work best in print for students and what sort of things work best digitally. "
1、The first paragraph is mainly about
A．a program to promote ipads marketing in new school year
B．a program to spread electronic learning in new school year
C．a plan of how to use ipads in the coming school education
D．a plan of how to oppose IT technique in the coming school teaching
2、What's the problem for ipads to be used in schools at present?
A．Some students wouldn't like to have ipads in schools.
B．The ipads are too expensive for school students to buy.
C．Most experts oppose the idea that ipads replace paper textbooks.
D．The ipads may be unavailable for some traditional courses.
3、The underlined sentence in the passage implies that
A．traditional textbooks are behind the times before they are printed
B．traditional textbooks possibly need to he printed again before delivered
C．contents of traditional textbooks can't be renewed in time as electronic ones do
D．the ipads can deliver information much more rapidly than printed textbooks
4、From the passage we can draw conclusion that
A．more students tend to use printed textbooks rather than electronic ones
B．textbook publishing houses will develop more electronic textbooks of their own
C．it is impossible for the ipads to be widely used in schools in the future
D．electronic textbooks will take the place of printed ones in new school year

25．（10分）The light from the campfire brightened the darkness, but it could not prevent the damp cold of Dennis’s Swamp (沼泽地) creeping into their bones. It was a strange place. Martin and Tom wished that they had not accepted Jack’s dare. They liked camping, but not near this swamp.
“So,” Martin asked as they sat watching the hot coals. “How did this place get its name?”
“Are you sure you want to hear it? It’s a scary story,” warned Jack.
“Of course!” cried out Tom. “If there were anything to be scared of, you wouldn’t have chosen this place!”
“Ok, but don’t say I didn’t warn you,” said Jack, and he began this tale.
“Way back in time, a man called Dennis tried to start a farm here. He built that cottage over there to live in. In those days, the area looked quite different — it was covered with tall trees and the swamp was a crystal-clear river. After three hard years, Dennis had cleared several fields and planted crops. He was so proud of his success that he refused to listen to advice.
“‘You are clearing too much land,’ warned one old man. ‘The land is a living thing. It will hit back at you if you abuse it. ’”
“‘Silly fool,’ said Dennis to himself. ‘If I clear more land, I can grow more crops. I’ll become wealthier. He’s just jealous!’”
“Dennis continued to chop down trees. Small animals that relied on them for food and shelter were destroyed. He was so eager to expand his farm that he did not notice the river flowing slowly towards his door. He did not notice salt seeping to the surface of the land. He
