An environmental group, called the Center for Biological Diversity, wants to use penguins to make a point.“If we can 21 the penguins, then perhaps we’ve chosen a path that will save ourselves as well,” says Melissa Waage, the group’s legislative(立法的) director in Washington.The group has petitioned the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to protect 12 penguin species under the U.S. Endangered Species Act.After some prodding(刺激) and the threat of a lawsuit, the government has 22 to review the status of 10 of those species. That would be a 23 step toward getting them listed as threatened or 24.“Penguins are both a symbol and a casualty (受害者) of a much wider problem that we have with global 25,” says Waage, “and 26 that we really must address immediately.”Protection under the Endangered Species Act would prevent people from importing penguins or their body parts without 27—something that doesn’t much happen anyhow.28 the late 1990s, the Center for Biological Diversity has petitioned Washington to protect other species, 29 from Arctic seabirds to polar bears to tropical coral reefs. Their aim, they say, is to 30 people that climate warming is not some problem for the distant 31, but that it’s having effects today.And it’s no accident, they admit, 32 they’ve picked animals that every preschooler will 33 –and nag (不停的央求) their parents to protect.“The penguins are 34 the most popular animals next to the polar bears and the sea lions,” a zoo keeper says.“Penguins are cute and fuzzy(毛茸茸的), and people 35 about them,”says Kassie Siegel, who has led the polar bear effort for the center. “And if that helps us get the message out, so much the better.”16．A．increasing B．decreasing C．changing D．remaining 17．A．on B．above C．under D．beyond 18．A．ugly B．cute C．foolish D．sad19．A．took B．beat C．accepted D．won 20．A．Forget B．Remember C．Remind D．Regret 21．A．prevent B．keep C．raise D．save 22．A．refused B．intended C．agreed D．opposed 23．A．last B．good C．first D．second 24．A．endangered B．killed C．protected D．extinct 25．A．disaster B．warming C．drought D．flood26．A．it B．another C．any D．one 27．A．money B．efforts C．decision D．permission 28．A．Before B．After C．Since D．During 29．A．ranging B．listing C．providing D．dying 30．A．surprise B．show C．insure D．offer31．A．summer B．past C．winter D．future 32．A．which B．what C．that D．who 33．A．recognize B．realize C．see D．notice 34．A．between B．among C．across D．through 35．A．bring B．come C．hang D．careIII.阅读理解（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分）AAntarctica and EnvironmentAntarctica has actually become a kind of space station –a unique observation post for detecting important changes in the world’s environment. Remote from major sources of pollution and the complex geological and ecological systems that prevail elsewhere, Antarctica makes possible scientific measurements that are often sharper and easier to interpret than those made in other parts of the world.Growing numbers of scientists therefore see Antarctica as a distant-early-warning sensor, where potentially dangerous global trends may be spotted before they show up to the north. One promising field of investigation is glaciology. Scholars from the United States, Switzerland, and France are pursuing seven separate but related projects that reflect their concern for the health of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet – a concern they believe the world at large should share.The Transantarctic Mountain, some of them more than 14,000 feet high, divide the continent into two very differe nt regions. The part of the continent to the “east” of the mountains is a high plateau covered by an ice sheet nearly two miles thick. “West” of the mountain, the half of the continent south of the Americas is also covered by an ice sheet, but there the ice rests on rock that is mostly well below sea level. If the West Antarctic Ice Sheet disappeared, the western part of the continent would be reduced to a sparse cluster of island.While ice and snow are obviously central to many environmental experiments, others focus on the mysterious “dry valley” of Antarctica, valleys that contain little ice or snow even in the depths of winter. Slashed through the mountains of southern Victoria Land, these valleys once held enormous glaciers that descended 9,000 feet from the polar plateau to the Ross Sea. Now the glaciers are gone, perhaps a casualty of the global warming trend during the 10,000 years since the ice age. Even the snow that falls in the dry valleys is blasted out by vicious winds that roars down from the polar plateau to the sea. Left bare are spectacular gorges, rippled fields of sand dunes, clusters of boulders sculptured into fantastic shapes by 100-mile-an-hour winds, and an aura of extraterrestrial desolation.Despite the unearthly aspect of the dry valleys, some scientists believe they may carry a message of hope of the verdant parts of the earth. Some scientists believe that in some cases the dry valleys may soak up pollutants faster than pollutants enter them.36. What is the best title for this passage?A. Antarctica and environmental Problems.B. Antarctica: Earth’s Early-Warning station.C. Antarctica: a Unique Observation Post.D. Antarctica: a Mysterious Place.37. What would the result be if the West Antarctic Ice Sheet disappeared?A. The western part of the continent would be disappeared.B. The western part of the continent would be reduced.C. The western part of the continent would become scattered Islands.D. The western part of the continent would be reduced to a cluster of Islands.38. Why are the Dry Valleys left bare?A. Vicious wind blasts the snow away.B. It rarely snows.C. Because of the global warming trend and fierce wind.D. Sand dunes.39. Which of the following is true?A .The “Dry Valleys” have nothing left inside.B. The “Dry Valleys” never held glaciers.C. The “Dry Valleys” may carry a message of hope for the verdant.D. The “Dry Valleys” are useless to scientists.B(原创)Antarctic visits are mainly concentrated at ice-free coastal zones over the Antarctic summer, the five-month period from November to March, in high summer there will be 20+ hours of daylight.The formation and movement of sea-ice outside of these times means that from March to November, Antarctica is left to the over-wintering scientific bases and their crews.Tourist ships possibly could get in and out earlier or later in the season, but there is the all too real danger of not being able to get to the places on the itinerary, or more importantly of being stuck in the sea-ice and having an enforced winter (for an extra 8 months or more) as has happened on scientific bases occasionally. So apart from the odd ice-breaker trip that may leave in October, tourist ships just don't risk it outside of these months.Winter pack ice extends over 620 miles around the continent, it is almost permanently dark and temperatures can drop to as low as -90°C (-130°F)40. Which of the following can best describe the main idea of the passage?A. AntarcticaB. Antarctic visitsC. When and where do trips to Antarctica take placeD. Antarctica is very cold41. Which of the following is true?A. There will be more than 20 hours of daylight all through the year in Antarctica.B. Scientists go to Antarctica mainly in the Antarctic summer.C. In the Antarctic summer, it is almost permanently dark.D. Visitors to the Antarctica usually go to the places where there’s no ice in the Antarctic summer.C(原创)Antarctica is one of the last real wildernesses left on the earth．Since it was first explored in the late 19th and early 20th centuries，various countries have tried to use it for military purposes．However，in 1961，12countries agreed to sign the Antarctic Treaty（条约）．This meant that the entire area was a nuclear-free zone and could only be used for peaceful purposes．Antarcticabecame the biggest laboratory in the world，with many scientists conducting research there．Today，42 countries have signed the treaty，and have sent scientists to study in the area．Every summer，3,000 scientists arrive to carry out a variety of research projects．Unlike the Arctic in the north，which is just made of ice，Antarctica is an actual land mass．In fact，it makes up one tenth of the land surface of the earth．Over 140 million years ago，Antarctica was a green and living place．There were ferns（蕨类植物）and trees，small mammals and dinosaurs living there．However，the land mass gradually moved to the colder areas in the south，and now it is just as frozen and inhospitable（不适于居住的）as the Arctic．Over an area the size of the USA，Antarctica holds 90 percent of all the world's ice．In some places this ice is 4.5 kilometers thick．If all the ice melted，the world's oceans would rise by 60 meters．Because of research being done in Antarctica，scientists discovered that the earth is gradually getting warmer．This means that the ice is slowly melting．The map of Antarctica has changed shape over the last decades as huge chunks of ice have broken off and floated away into the sea．Sometimes the scientists studying these changes get dangerously involved in their own research．In 1986 a huge slab of ice measuring 15,000 square kilometers broke away．Unfortunately，it carried with it a Russian research station which had been built on the ice．For several years，another kind of visitor has outnumbered the scientists on Antarctica．Tourism has finally reached the great frozen wilderness．People come to see the local bird life，to go mountaineering，or to visit the South Pole．This year as many as 10,000 tourists will visit Antarctica．If we are not careful，it will not remain a wilderness for much longer．42．Antarctica was first explored in _____ ．A．the late 1900s B．the late 1800sC．1961 D. the late 2000s43．Today，Antarctica is used _____ ．A．for peaceful purposesB．for military purposesC．by 12countries for researchD. for nuclear purposes44．Why is the map of Antarctica changing？A．Many scientists are arriving．B．Large chunks of ice are breaking away．C．People are discovering new parts of it．D. The passage doesn’t mention.45．Scientists know that the earth is gradually getting _____ ．A．colder B．warmer C．smaller D. biggerIV.阅读表达（共五小题；每小题3分，满分15分）原创Anyone who is in the slightest acquainted with stories of polar exploration up to about 1950 will have heard of Pemmican. Now it has become popular with the people in Antarctica. Follow me and I will show you how to make your own pemmican1. Dehydrate(脱水) strips of raw red meat on a low heat in the oven. About 2-6lbs for a batch. Ask the butcher to slice it for you as thinly as possible. It should be completely dry but not cooked. If it cooks, it will taste gritty when finished.2. Grind the dehydrated strips up. The Indians pounded them with rocks, but a food processor is probably more acceptable in the modern kitchen. Spices or berries can be added at this time.3. Prepare the tallow(牛脂) (for binding it all together) by rendering animal fat. Melt strips of beef fat (possibly free from the butchers - "you want to do what with it?!!") in a frying pan on a low heat until the rinds float to the surface (throw them away). Carry on heating the resulting tallow until all moisture is removed. It is very important to _________ from the fat to prevent it going bad. Proper tallow can be made from beef fat (suet is best) or lamb fat but not from pork fat as this won't set hard enough when cool. Tallow when cold looks like candle wax in colour and consistency.4. When the resulting tallow is cold enough to touch but still liquid, add it slowly to the meat powder mixing thoroughly, until all of it is just saturated(渗透，饱和). This is about a 60:40 meat: tallow ratio by weight.5. Mould the finished product into tins or whatever - manly bone shapes or gingerbread men moulds etc. When it hardens you've finished. Store in a dry place.1. What is the best title of the passage?(Please answer within 10 words)2. Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?While the Indians usually used rocks to grind the strips, modern people would like a advanced food tool.3. Please fill in the blank in the passage with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence ( Please answer within 10 words)4. When can spices or berries be added?5. Translate the underlined sentence in the passage into Chinese.V.写作（满分30分）原创根据提示，写一篇关于南极(Antarctica) 的简介。
