【題目】 The documentary Blood Lions shows South Africa's cruel "canned' lion hunting industry. In canned hunts, lions are raised by humans and kept in enclosed spaces on private hunting areas. Hunters can get trophy (戰(zhàn)利品)easily in exchange for fees of up to $50, 000. There are about 8,000 ranch lions in South Africa. So the country’s hunt operators can make a fortune.

Ian Michler was a lead character in the film. He talked about Blood Lions last July when it was shown in Durban, South Africa. The film has since been viewed in 185 countries. More than 50 screenings have been held at film festivals and in meetings of special interest groups. This year, Blood Lions will be shown at every major tourism conference in Europe and Africa.

Outside the film, Michler and the team are running a global campaign. They are aiming at ending canned hunts and other cold-blooded activities involving lions and other animals.

Australia became the first country, in February 2015, to forbid imports of lion trophies. It was followed by France in November, That month, Blood Lions was shown in the European Parliament. As a result, the government of Finland, Italy, and Spain decided to hold their own screenings. There are a number of other countries likely to do the same.

At the same time, at the end of last year, the world's leading group of African lion researchers offered an important suggestion They advised that any analysis of the present state of wild lions in South Africa should not include its thousands of ranch lions. Wild lions in South Africa now number some 3, 000. There are around 20,000 wild lions in Africa.

"The great majority of lion populations in Africa have been reduced,” says Hans Bauer, lion researcher at Oxford University Wildlife Conservation Research Unit. 'It's important to stress that South Africa's ranch lions are horror that has nothing to do with lion protection. These lions should never be taken into account in any serious analysis of the state of lions in Africa."

【解析】

本文是一篇說明文,介紹了《血獅》的主演米克爾和他的團隊發(fā)起的一場全球性的保護獅子的運動。

1細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的“The film has since been viewed in 185 countries. More than 50 screenings have been held at film festivals and in meetings of special interest groups. This year, Blood Lions will be shown at every major tourism conference in Europe and Africa.”可知,《血獅》在185個國家放映,在電影節(jié)和特殊利益集團的會議上舉行了50多次放映,今年,它還將在歐洲和非洲的每一次大型旅游會議上亮相,這些都證明了《血獅》具有國際影響力,故A項正確。

2推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中的“Michler and the team are running a global campaign. They are aiming at ending canned hunts and other cold-blooded activities involving lions and other animals.”可知,米克爾和他的團隊正在進行一項全球運動,目標是結束罐裝狩獵和其他涉及獅子和其他動物的冷血活動,緊接著第四段介紹了這場運動的成果:20152月,澳大利亞成為第一個禁止進口獅子戰(zhàn)利品的國家。法國緊隨其后,11月,《血獅》歐洲議會上放映后,芬蘭、意大利和西班牙政府決定舉行自己的放映,其他一些國家可能也決定這樣做,這說明和米克爾和他的團隊發(fā)起的全球運動取得了顯著成果,故C項正確。

3推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中的“It's important to stress that South Africa's ranch lions are horror that has nothing to do with lion protection. These lions should never be taken into account in any serious analysis of the state of lions in Africa.”可知,漢斯鮑爾認為需要強調(diào)的是,南非的牧場獅子與獅子保護無關,在任何對非洲獅子狀況的嚴肅分析中,都不應該考慮到這些獅子,由此可知,他建議對獅子進行正確地分析,故A項正確。

4推理判斷題。通讀全文可知,本文介紹了《血獅》的主演米克爾和他的團隊發(fā)起的一場全球性的保護獅子的運動,因此文章的目的是報道一個動物保護運動,故B項正確。

本篇第4A項的干擾性較大,文章開篇就提到了《血獅》這部電影,所以有些同學會誤認為本文的目的是介紹這部電影所反映的內(nèi)容,但根據(jù)第三段中的“Outside the film, Michler and the team are running a global campaign.”可知,本文只是從《血獅》這部電影入手,實際上介紹的是《血獅》的主演米克爾和他的團隊發(fā)起的一場全球性的保護獅子的運動,因此文章的目的是報道一個動物保護運動。

【題目】Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main points of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

California condors are North American’s largest birds, will wing-length of up to 3 meters. In the 1980s, electrical lines and lead poisoning nearly drove them to dying out. Now, electric shock training and medical treatment are helping to rescue these big birds.

In the late 1980s, the last few condors were taken from the wild, and there are nowmore than 150 flying overCaliforniaand nearbyArizona,Utahand Baja inMexico. Electrical lines have been killing them off. “As they go in to rest for the night, they just don’t see the power lines,” says Bruce Rideout of San Diego Zoo. Their wings can bridge the gap between lines, resulting in electrocution(電死) if they touch two lines at once. So scientists have come up with a shocking idea. Tall poles, placed in large training areas, teach the birds to stay clear of electrical lines by giving them a painful but undeadly electric shock. Before the training was introduced, 66% of set-freed condors died of electrocution. This has now dropped to 18%.

Lead poisonous has proved more difficult to deal with. When condors eat dead bodies of other animals containing lead, they absorb large quantities of lead.This affects their nervous systems and ability to produce baby birds, and can lead to kidney failures and death. So condors with high levels of lead are sent to Los Angeles Zoo, where they are treated with calcium EDTA, a chemical that removes lead from the blood over several days. This work is starting to pay off. The annual death rate for adult condors has dropped from 38% in 2000 to 5.4% in 2011.

Rideout’s team thinks that theCaliforniacondors’ average survival time in the wild is nowjust under eight years. “Although these measures are not effective forever, they are vital for now,” he says. “They are truly good birds that are worth every effort we put into recovering them.”

【題目】 As the saying goes, “Without music, life would be a mistake.” Music is very important in our lives and here are four of the greatest musicians in history.

Ludwig van Beethoven(1770-1827)

Born in Bonn, Germany, Beethoven never held an official position in Vienna. He supported himself by giving concerts, teaching piano, and the sale of his compositions(作曲). The last 30 years of Beethoven’s life were filled with a lot of hard times, the first of which was his deafness. Beethoven’s music greatly influenced the next generation of musicians.

Johann Sebastian Bach(1685-1750)

Bach, “the father of modern music”, was born in Eisenach, Germany. His parents died when he was nine years old, and in 1695 he went to live with his brother Johann Christoph, who was an organist(風琴手) in Ohrdruf. He stayed there until 1700. Seven years later, he moved back to Weimar, where he served as court(宮廷) organist for nine years. His music greatly influenced classical music.

Frederic Chopin (1810-1849)

Chopin was born in Zelazowa Wola, Poland. He showed a talent for the piano at a very young age. Chopin began composing when he was still a child, but some of his early works have been lost. He gave his first public concert in 1818. Chopin was considered as the leading musician of his time.

Franz Schubert(1797-1828)

Schubert was born and died in Vienna. Unlike most of his predecessors(前輩),Schubert was not a great performer. He never had much money but he was very productive. He wrote his first masterpiece when he was only sixteen. However, he died young, before his talents had even been known.

1Beethoven did Not make a living by ___.

A.teaching studentsB.doing business

C.selling his worksD.giving concerts

2Bach worked as an organist in Weimar until _____.

A.1765B.1707C.1750D.1716
