第二部分 阅读理解（满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
There might be as many as 10 million species of complex life on this planet today —— a huge number. But add up all of the complex species that ever lived and some biologists think the grand total would be about five billion. The estimate leads to an astonishing conclusion: a staggering 99% of species are not around any more. They have been driven to extinction.
More species are joining the ranks of the extinct every year. Many scientists believe we are living through an episode of remarkably rapid extinction, on a scale that has been seen only five times in the last half a billion years.
They call this current episode the sixth mass extinction —— a large, global decline in a wide variety of species over a relatively short period of time. And they tend to agree that humans are the main cause.
Over-hunting, overfishing, and human-driven habitat loss are pushing many species to the brink. In fact, we have changed the planet so much that some geologists are now suggesting that we have entered a new phase in Earth’s history; an epoch they call the ＂Anthropocene＂. By 2100, it is expected that humans will have caused the extinction of up to half of the world’s current species.
Because we are living through this extinction, it is relatively easy for us to study the driving forces behind it. But how do we determine what caused other mass die-offs that happened long ago? To do so we have to look at what archaeologists, palaeontologists, geologists and other scientists have concluded from the evidence they have gathered.
The trouble is, those scientists do not always agree with one another —— even about the most recent extinction event. As well as the five-or six- mass extinctions, there have also been many smaller extinctions.
One of these mini extinction events happened towards the end of the Pleistocene, a few tens of thousands of years ago. It is sometimes called the ＂megafaunal＂ extinction because many of the species it claimed were particularly large animals, weighing more than 97lb (44kg). However, its cause remains a debate amongst scientists.
1、What can we learn about the sixth mass extinction？
A．Humans are the main cause of it.
B．It means a global decline over a long time.
C．It occurred towards the end of the Pleistocene.
D．Scientists still disagree about the cause of it.
2、What can be inferred from the text about species？
A．99% of species will not be around any more by 2100.
B．By the 22nd century, there will probably be about five million on this planet.
C．About eight years later we will enter what is called the ＂Anthropocene＂.
D．It is not easy for us to figure out causes behind the＂Anthropocene＂
3、Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word in the last paragraph ?
A．Land animals. B．Marine life.
C．Huge animals. D．Flesh-eating creatures.

B
I stood in a noisy group of sixth grade students, waiting for the answer to our burning question: What type of crazy tie would Mr. Miller be wearing today?
Our teacher walked around the corner with a GREEN ELEPHANT TIE that matched his large elephant coffee cup! Oh, the satisfaction in our young hearts—a green elephant tie!
With his glasses at the tip of his nose, he greeted us cheerfully, “Good morning, folks!” He was strange and unique and he brightened every day for us. He was the most dynamic teacher I had ever met.
I loved music, so I remember how excited I was when he said he was going to give us music lessons. But when he turned on the music, my classmates and I slowly turned our heads toward the sound of… Feter Paul and Mary singing “If I Had a Hammer”.
Snickers(窃笑) filled the room. If it wasn’t rap or hip hop, we didn’t recognize it. What were these people singing about? My classmates were not into this at all. But for me, a girl of 12, it was a discovery. An awakening.
Twenty years passed and now there are forty little eyes staring at my wild musical-note shirts as I greet them with a joyful, “Good morning, class!” I wonder if my students wait and wonder what crazy music clothes I will wear each day.
I glance at my 2015 Teacher of the Year Award, which I received for being a dynamic teacher. And I smile to myself, wondering which child in front of me will carry this on－as I’ve carried on the legacy(遗产) of Mr. Miller.
One teacher, who dared to be different and open new worlds to kids like me, threw the significant stone into the pond of my life. I pray the ripples(涟漪) never end.
1、What can we infer about Mr. Miller?
A．He was an animal protector. B．He didn’t take his work seriously.
C．He often dressed up in an unusual way. D．He often asked his students burning questions.
2、How did the author react to the song “If I Had a Hammer”?
A．Puzzled. B．Disappointed.
C．Uninterested. D．Excited.
3、What does the underlined word “this” in the text refer to?
A．A kind heart. B．The smile.
C．A gift for music. D．The love for teaching.
4、What is the author’s purpose in writing this text?
A．To prove her love for music.
B．To show a teacher’s effect on her.
C．To call on students to take up teaching.
D．To share her experience in music learning.
