【正文】 rches estimate(估計(jì))that several times as many walnuts grow when gathered by gray squirrels as pared to red squirrels. Gray squirrels and red squirrels do not store nuts and seeds in the same way. Gray squirrels bury nuts one at a time in a number of places. But they seldom remember where they buried every nut. So some nuts remain in the ground. Conditions are right for them to develop and grow the following spring. Red squirrels, however, store large groups of nuts above ground. Professor Swihart calls “death traps for seeds”. Gray squirrels are native to Indiana. But Professor Swihart says their numbers began to decrease as more forests were cut for agriculture. Red squirrels began to spread through the state during the past century. The researchers say red squirrels are native to forests that stay green all year, unlike walnut trees. They say the cleaning of forest land for agriculture has helped red squirrels invade Indiana. Jake Goheen calls them a sign of an environmental problem more than a cause. 【文章大意】本文是一篇說明文, 介紹了紅松鼠和灰松鼠的生活習(xí)性及其給環(huán)境帶來的影響。A. Find out how squirrels collect walnutsB.

The Growth of Black Walnut【解析】選C。本文主要介紹了紅松鼠和灰松鼠的生活習(xí)性及其給環(huán)境帶來的影響, 而非兩種松鼠的區(qū)別, 也非松鼠和它們搜集的食物, 也非研究黑胡桃樹的成長(zhǎng)。CThe noise of chattering mouths settled down as the teacher entered classroom. “Good morning class. I am Riffat Monaf, and I will be your geography teacher. ” Riffat Monaf, an interesting name and an even more interesting person. Her introduction took place about six years ago, and since then I have never met a more influential person in my life. 　　Mrs Monaf not only conquered me with her vast knowledge of geography, but also won me over with her smile and warm eyes. It was in her class that I traveled to the highest mountains and to the deepest seas from the fort of the classroom. I learned about the vast oceans, the erupting volcanoes(火山), the snowcapped mountains and the green valleys. She would often relate her adventures about traveling to different parts of the world. 　　Never can I forget the joy of her face when she talked about how truly beautiful this world is. If I search back my love for the environment and geography, I find her to be the source of my love for preserving nature. If one day I became an environmentalist, I know that I’ll thank her for it. Apart from this, she has always greeted me with open arms and she calls her students “my children”. Mrs Monaf’s morals and values rubbed off me deeply and I have always taken her advice into consideration. She has been one of the most consistently good things in my life. I can do nothing for her except pray. Whenever I see her in school, she still keeps that kind smile and an expression so soft that it touches me deeply. Mrs Monaf still talks happily about geography, and I know that I can never see what a truly great person she has been in my life. . 28. What can we learn from the second paragraph? A. Mrs Monaf enjoyed telling stories. B. The writer traveled a lot. C. Mrs Monaf was a learned person. D. The writer did well at school. 【解析】選C。根據(jù)第二段第一句中的“Mrs Monaf not only conquered me with her vast knowledge of geography”可知Monaf老師學(xué)識(shí)淵博, 故C項(xiàng)正確。A. moved　　　　　　　B. influencedC. defeated D. shocked【解析】選B。根據(jù)文章第一段最后一句的敘述可知Monaf老師對(duì)作者影響很大, 結(jié)合畫線詞后的“I have always taken her advice into consideration” 可知作者總是考慮她的建議, 由此推斷出Monaf的道德觀和價(jià)值觀總是影響著作者, 故rubbed off 與influenced同義。推理判斷題。31. What would be the best title for the passage? A. An Influential Person in My LifeB. Brave Fight Against Breast CancerC. The TeacherStudent FriendshipD. My Interesting School Life【解析】選A。根據(jù)第一段最后一句中的“I have never met a more influential person in my life”可知文章敘述的是一個(gè)對(duì)作者有影響的老師, 故A項(xiàng)作為標(biāo)題合適。Eventually, the news found out about the pair and did a story for the magazine Islington Tribune. It was not long after that when a book agent appeared in their lives and gave them a chance to tell their story. By then, Bowen, who had managed to get away from drugs, wrote a novel called A Street Cat Named Bob. He related in great detail how meeting the cat changed him. The book soon sold more than six million copies and even spread beyond the borders of the United Kingdom. In fact, it was translated into thirty languages. Through all of these changing circumstances, Bob has always been with Bowen—on his shoulder. You can’t make up a story like this. But life always gives opportunities to those who know how to get hold of them. So if you are ever in a position where a cat has chosen you, don’t ignore it. You can’t imagine all the good that life may have in store if you decide to accept the proposal. 【文章大意】本文為記敘文。鮑文(James Bowen)在街上救下了一只貓, 于是那只貓開始陪伴他演奏。32. Why did James Bowen decide to keep the cat? A.
