20、hat many animals important to agriculture are disappearing forever. The UN Environment Program and Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) released （發(fā)布） a report with the new findings. The findings are based on information collected in 170 nations during the past ten years. FAO officials say the wor

21、ld has lost about 1,000 kinds of farm animals because of human’s development in the past century. The officials say many other animals are still in danger. They warn that one-third of them are at the risk of disappearing. About two billion people depend at least partly on farm animals to earn m

22、oney. That is around one third of the world population. FAO officials are concerned about farmers producing enough to feed the world’s growing population. They warn that meat, milk and egg production will need to be increased by more than two times during the next twenty years. FAO officials ha

23、ve gathered information about more than 4,000 kinds of bird and animal populations. 740 of those animals no longer exist. More than 1,300 other animals are said to be endangered or at the high risk of extinction(滅絕). Many of them are very important farm animals. For example, in Madagascar, Renitelo

24、cattle have almost disappeared. In the Philippines, the Banaba chicken is now rare. The report warns that more than 2,000 other animals could disappear within the next twenty years unless action is taken. It says that the greatest threat （威脅） is the export of animals from industrial countries t

25、o developing ones. This can lead to replacement of some native animals. As a matter of fact, animals from industrial nations often are considered more productive in developing countries. However, these animals are best for the environment of the areas they come from. They may have a difficult time s

26、urviving under extreme conditions. The FAO says having different kinds of animals is a way to protect against loss of animals from bad weather conditions or the spread of diseases.

30、 discover the reasons why animals disappear D. to show people the seriousness of animal extinction B Besides containing attractive flowers, trees and other plants that beautify the community, eco-friendly rain gardens are healthy for the environment and the people living and working nearby. A r

31、ain garden is not very different from a traditional garden. It is just a far more eco-friendly garden. Usually it is built lower than the ground. Rain gardens make smart use of rain and storm water by temporarily holding water from rain and storms and letting it soak slowly into the ground before it

32、 runs into streams or enters the public drinking water supply. Thus, a rain garden keeps the water, allowing it to be used as needed by plants in the rain garden, rather than flowing immediately into nearby streams and going unused. The water will soak slowly into the ground within a day or two. Th

33、is creates an advantage that the rain garden does not allow mosquitoes to breed. This is a simple, attractive, and eco-friendly “green” way to treat storm water. What’s more, planting a rain garden helps reduce pollution and improve the environment. Without using expensive machinery and chemicals,

34、 rain gardens remove harmful chemicals in the rainwater and cut down on the amount of pollution reaching streams and rivers by up to 30%. Native plants are recommended for rain gardens because they are more used to the local climate, soil, and water conditions. They may attract local wildlife such

35、 as native birds. Water your rain garden immediately after planting and once a week, unless you have had at least an inch of rain during the week. Once the native plants establish the necessary root system, it will require little care. Often, local governments and private businesses develop large

36、rain gardens in their yards and in public parks as a way to improve the environment and solve flooding problems. However, you don’t need to be a professional environmental engineer to create a rain garden. As long as you’re eco-conscious homeowners, you can help the environment by building smaller r

37、ain gardens in your yards. 40. Which of the following is the eco-friendly function of rain gardens discussed in Paragraph 4? A. They can keep the rain and storm water. B. They can help reduce the pollution problem. C. They can be healthy for the people around. D. They can make the env

38、ironment more beautiful. 41. One of the main reasons why native plants are recommended is that ______. A. they cost less and are much easier to get B. they may attract local wildlife to come C. they require little care from the local gardeners D. they are more used to the local growing conditi

39、ons. 42. We can infer from the passage that after native plants are planted, rain gardens ______. A. need little water B. need little care C. need to be watered every day D. needn’t be watered if there is at least an inch of rainwater per week C The interview is an important eve

40、nt in the job-hunting process, because the 20 or 30 minutes you spend with the interviewer may decide whether or not you get the particular job you want. Therefore, it is important to remember that your purpose during the interview may differ from that of the potential employer. You want to make you

41、rself stand out as a whole person who has personal strengths and should be considered the right person for the job. It is encouraging to know that the interviewer’s task is not to embarrass you, but to hire the right person for the job. Remember, job-hunting is very competitive. Anything you can do

42、 to improve your interview techniques will be to your advantage. The following suggestions may help you land the most important job. Your goal in this interview is to make sure your good points get across. The interviewer won’t know them unless you point them out, so try to do this in a factual and

43、 sincere manner. Don’t say anything bad about your former employers. If you have been fired from a job and the interview asks about it, be honest. Show the interviewer that you are interested in the company by asking questions. Ask about responsibilities, working conditions, promotion opportunitie

44、s and benefits of the job you are interviewing for. If at some point you decide the interview is not going well, do not let your discouragement show. You have nothing to lose by continuing a show of confidence, and you many have much to gain. It may be real, or it may be a test to see how you react

45、 to adverse conditions. Some interviewers may bring up salary early in the interview. At this time, you may indicate that you are more interested in a job where you can prove yourself than a specific salary. This politely passes the question back to the interviewer. If possible, you should negotiat

46、e for salary after you have been offered a job and have completed the paperwork. 43. To get the job you want, during the interview you should ______. A. avoid the interviewer’s questions that are designed to embarrass you B. remember that you are the best C. make yourself stand out

47、as the right person for the job D. tell yourself that you want to get the job 44. If you did not get along with your former employer, you ______. A. should tell a lie to the interviewer B. should not speak ill of him C. should refer to him in a factual manner D. sho

48、uld never mention it 45. The underlined word “adverse” in the sixth paragraph can be replaced by ______. A. difficult B. friendly C. opposite D. different 46. The passage is mainly about ______. A. how to make your strengths understood B. how to show your interest in the

49、 job C. how to be frank and sincere D. how to deal with an interview D The oil resources which are left will not last very long. This means that all vehicles such as cars, trains, buses, planes and ships that need oil to work will not be able to run. So it will be necessary to deve

50、lop a new system of transport which uses a fuel more than oil. Electric vehicles are one possibility. In Britain, most families have at least one car and this car is used every day. It could be that only one person in the family drives the car to work or for shopping. The number of cars on the road

51、which are almost empty perhaps helps to explain why the oil is used up so quickly. The family car is a very useful form of transport but it is also a great waste of energy, especially if it is compared with buses or trains. Much petrol is used by a car which is traveling at 120 kilometers an hour. C

52、learly, it would be better if there were fewer cars on the road and more speed limits so that the oil which is left will last as long as possible. About 25% of Britain’s total consumption of energy is domestic—it is used only in the home. Just over 20% is used for transport. Most of the energy is u

53、sed in industry. It is difficult to suggest any possible energy conservation in industry because many of the suggestions would mean that some people would lose their jobs. It is important that industry produces the same amount of products using the same amount of workers. Obviously, conservation is

54、 not going to be the answer to the energy crisis. The most it can do is to give more time for a better solution to be found. The more time which is available for new sources of energy to be developed, the better it is because there is still a lot of work to be done in order to find suitable, safe me

55、thods of producing energy. 47. In Britain, what reason could help to explain why oil is used up very quickly? A. People use cars every day. B. Most families have at least one car. C. Many cars on the road are almost empty. D. Electric vehicles are used. 48. Which of the follo

56、wing is true? A. Compared with buses and trains, the family car is useful and can save energy. B. A car driving at the speed of 80 kilometers per hour uses half as much petrol as a car traveling at 160 kilometers per hour. C. It is possible for people to develop vehicles. D. Limitation of the nu

57、mber of cars on the road and their speed will help the oil last longer. 49. What does the underlined word “domestic” mean in Paragraph Two? A. For household use. B. On the road. C. Slow driving. D. Fast driving. 50. What is a better way to solve the problem of the energy crisis? A. Gov

58、ernments should cut down the number of family cars on the road. B. The speed of vehicles must be limited. C. New sources of energy should be found and developed. D. Factories should cut down on production. 第三部分：任務(wù)型閱讀（共10小題；每小題1分，滿分10分） We all have goals that we are moving towards and making a g

59、reat effort to achieve. This is a good thing. Or can it be bad? How many of us never reach our goals and yet we have tried so hard and really thought about nothing else? I believe the mistake most of us make is that we do not focus on our present situation. Let me explain. Most of us see our presen

60、t situation as a stepping stone that we use simply as a means of reaching our final destination. We don’t take time to truly appreciate where we are today and all the great things we already have in our lives. We should focus our attention on the journey and not on the destination, or we will miss t

61、he beautiful scenery along the way. Let’s use our job as an example. Now most of us want a promotion. We have plans to become the manager or general manager in our companies. Unfortunately, most of us will never reach the goal, but will watch others achieve our goal instead. What we should be do

62、ing is focusing on the job we are currently in now. Forget where we want to get to and just focus on the present. You see, what we can control is our performance in our current job. We can decide to be the best we possibly can in our current job. Now this may mean further education to have the skill

63、s we currently do not have. It may mean working harder to produce better results than our colleagues. It could simply be a change of attitude, such as stopping complaining and becoming a more devoted and supportive employee. By doing our current job to the best of our abilities, we in fact give ours

64、elves the best chance of promotion. So the best thing for all of us to do to achieve our goals is to just focus on what we have and where we are now. Do the best and be the best we possibly can in our current situations, and we will give ourselves the very best chance of reaching our goals in the

65、future. We have heard the old sayings and they are true: “Rome wasn’t built in a day.”, “Patience is a virtue”, and so on. Have patience, have appreciation of what we already have, and take time to help ourselves be the very best we can. Do these things and we will all reach our goals, but more im

66、portantly, we will enjoy our life every day. Title Focus on the present Theme To (51) ______ our goals, we should focus on what we have and where we are now.
