212686. (2025•莲湖区•高一下期中)        Migratory birds (候鸟) rely on a network of habitats across continents (洲).Today,scientists with the National Audubon Society published a study in which they propose a new way to identify where conservation efforts are most needed to ensure the survival for migratory birds that travel between Canada and South America.
       The study integrates movement data from more than 329,000 birds of 112 species to identify the areas where migratory birds face the greatest threats from climate change and habitat loss.Researchers introduce a new way called multispecies migratory connectivity to measure these threats.Despite a growing understanding of how birds connect across different places and seasons,by combining connectivity patterns across many species with future climate changes and habitat changes,researchers find out the migration paths at the highest risk throughout the Americas.
       The findingow that migration paths between some breeding (繁殖) regions in Canada and non-breeding regions in South America are particularly vulnerable,suggesting the threats faced by long-distance migrants.Alarmingly,over half of the migration paths at very high risk involve breeding regions in the eastern United States. "Bird migration is one of the most incredible and impressive phenomena in nature.This new science highlights the need for continued investment and international efforts to reduce the dangers migratory birds meet across the entire continents," said Dr.Jill Deppe,senior director of Audubon's Migratory Bird Initiative.
       A 2019 study determined that there are nearly three billion fewer birds in North America than in the year 1970,with two-and-a-half billion of those birds considered migratory birds.The survival of many of these migratory species remains uncertain if countries do not take action to reduce climate pollution and the impacts of human activities that threaten birds and their habitats.By learning more about the threats these birds are facing during their annual cycle,we can focus on the places and actions that will have the biggest impact for securing their future.
(1)What is multispecies migratory connectivity used to do?       
A.Track the migration paths of many species.
B.Identify suitable habitats for breeding birds.
C.Measure the risks faced by migratory birds.
D.Guess future populations of migratory birds.
(2)What does the underlined word "vulnerable" in paragraph 3 mean?       
A.Easily damaged.
B.Equally improved.
C.Well protected.
D.Widely spread.
(3)Why is the 2019 study mentioned in the last paragraph?       
A.To praise the success of conservation efforts.
B.To stress the necessity of conservation action.
C.To compare migration patterns of different bird species.
D.To explain the causes of climate change affecting birds.
(4)What can be the best title for the text?       
A.The Role of Global Efforts in Bird Conservation
B.New Scientific Tools for Tracking Bird Migration
C.How Climate Change Is Reshaping Bird Migration Pattern
D.Scientists Identify Key Areas for Protecting Migratory Birds

(1)细节理解题。根据第二段The study integrates movement data from more than 329,000 birds of 112 species to identify the areas where migratory birds face the greatest threats from climate change and habitat loss.Researchers introduce a new way called multispecies migratory connectivity to measure these threats. (该研究整合了112个物种的329,000多只鸟类的迁徙数据,以识别候鸟面临气候变化和栖息地丧失最大威胁的区域。研究人员引入了一种名为"多物种迁徙连通性"的新方法来衡量这些威胁。)可知,多物种迁徙连通性是用来衡量候鸟面临的风险的。故选C。
(2)词句猜测题。根据第三段中划线词下文suggesting the threats faced by long﹣distance migrants (表明长途迁徙者面临的威胁)和Alarmingly,over half of the migration paths at very high risk involve breeding regions in the eastern United States. (令人担忧的是,超过一半的高风险迁徙路线涉及美国东部的繁殖区。)可知,研究结果表明,加拿大一些繁殖区与南美洲非繁殖区之间的迁徙路线尤其脆弱,vulnerable意为"脆弱的,易受伤的",和Easily damaged意思相近。A.Easily damaged容易损坏,容易破损;B.Equally improved同样的改善;C.Well protected受到良好的保护;D.Widely spread广泛传播。故选A。
(3)推理判断题。根据最后一段A 2019 study determined that there are nearly three billion fewer birds in North America than in the year 1970,with two﹣and﹣a﹣half billion of those birds considered migratory birds.The survival of many of these migratory species remains uncertain if countries do not take action to reduce climate pollution and the impacts of human activities that threaten birds and their habitats. (2019年的一项研究确定,北美地区的鸟类数量比1970年减少了近30亿只,其中25亿只是候鸟。如果这些国家不采取行动减少气候污染和人类活动对鸟类及其栖息地的威胁,许多迁徙物种的生存仍然不确定。)可推知,最后一段提到了2019年的研究是为了强调保护行动的必要性。故选B。
(4)标题归纳题。通读全文,尤其是第一段Today,scientists with the National Audubon Society published a study in which they propose a new way to identify where conservation efforts are most needed to ensure the survival for migratory birds that travel between Canada and South America. (如今,美国奥杜邦协会的科学家们发表了一项研究。在这项研究中,他们提出了一种新方法,用以确定在哪些地方最需要开展保护工作,从而确保在加拿大和南美洲之间迁徙的候鸟能够生存下来。)可知,本文主要讲的是美国奥杜邦协会的科学家们发表了一项研究,提出了一种新方法来确定在加拿大和南美洲之间迁徙的候鸟最需要保护的地方,因此D选项Scientists Identify Key Areas for Protecting Migratory Birds(科学家确定了保护候鸟的关键区域)很好地概括文章主旨,是文章的最佳标题。故选D。

204356. (2023•铁一中学•高一上期末)      Friday and Saturday were full of surprises for Chinese,as two places in China were listed as UNESCO World Heritage sites.The first,a World Natural Heritage,is composed of a series of migratory bird sanctuaries (候鸟保护地) along the coast of the Yellow Sea in Yancheng,East China's Jiangsu Province.The second,the Liangzhu Archaeological Site in Hangzhou,East China's Zhejiang Province,was listed as a World Cultural Heritage site.
     China began the application process for the bird sanctuaries in 2017.It only took two years to successfully complete the process.The migratory bird sanctuaries are the central node of the East Asian-Australasian Flyway and many endangered species,especially threatened migratory birds including red-crowned cranes and flamingos,go there to hunt for food during the migration season.The birds usually take a month to finish their migration.At about 10 days into their migration,they must stop and find food in order to have the energy to continue their journey.
    Compared to the short turnaround for the World Natural Heritage's application,the Liangzhu application was far more complicated.The application team spent six years making their dream a reality.The site in Liangzhu is evidence of the existence of an early regional state in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River during the late Neolithic period in China,which helps fill in the gaps in the history of the rice-cultivating civilizations of China and East Asia more than 5000 years ago.The site was one of the 20th century's most important archaeological discoveries in China.
    With these two new additions,China now has 55 World Heritage sites,the highest number in the world.The successful application means greater responsibility and obligations (义务).Protecting these places is much more important and is our future work.

(1)What is special about the migratory bird sanctuaries?        
A.It's the first China's world natural heritage on the sea.
B.It provides safe habitats for endangered species.
C.It's located along the coast of the Yellow River.
D.It supplies abundant fresh water to migratory birds.
(2)According to Paragraph 2,how do migratory bird sanctuaries protect birds?        
A.By creating warm places to produce baby birds.
B.By preventing them from being killed by hunters.
C.By providing food supplies during their migration.
D.By curing the endangered birds after their journey.
(3)Why is Liangzhu chosen for the world heritage site?        
A.It shows the long history of China.
B.It proves the wisdom of the people.
C.It witnesses the civilization of an age.
D.It reveals the food of the late Neolithic.
(4)What is the last paragraph mainly talking about?        
A.The application success's promotion of tourism.
B.Chinese responsibilities after the successful application.
C.The two places' influence on Chinese history.
D.Chinese challenge of protecting birds' migration.

203205. (2016•西安中学•二模) At 2 pm on 5 December 1945,five US bombers took off from Fort Lauderlale in the USA for a training flight in perfect weather.Shortly afterwards,the pilots radioed that their flight instruments were all malfunctioning.Two hours after take-off,all contact with the planes was lost.A reconnaissance plane was immediately sent off to search for the missing planes.Within 20 minutes,radio contact with it had also been lost.No trace of any of the planes was ever found.In all,six planes and 27 men had disappeared into the air.
The disappearance of the six planes was far from being the first mysterious incident in the area:for years,navigational problems and strange magnetic forces had been reported.The disappearance was not even the greatest disaster within the triangle.The Cyclops,a 19,000-ton US ship was sailing from Barbados to Norfolk,Virginia in March 1918,when it vanished with its crew of 309 from the surface of the ocean without making a distress call and without the slightest wreckage ever being found.
The losses of boats and planes in that area defy explanation.The disasters are the origin of a new phrase in the English language-the Bermuda Triangle and this phrase has entered legend.The Bermuda Triangle has been called the Devils' Triangle,the Triangle of Death,the Graveyard of the Atlantic.It has swallowed up 140 ships and planes and more than 1,000 people.Today many airmen and sailors are still afraid of that area of the Atlantic Ocean.
(1)How many plane(s) were sent to look for the US bombers on 5 December 1945?        
A.None.
B.One.
C.Five.
D.Six.
(2)In the passage,"the Cyclops"is the name of        
A.an undersea creature
B.a brave sailor
C.a large boat
D.a lost plane
(3)Where is the Bermuda Triangle?        
A.In Europe
B.In the Atlantic Ocean
C.In North America
D.In South America
(4)The text suggests that        
A.People have solved the mystery of the disappearance of planes and ships
B.Airmen and sailors usually bury their dead in the area
C.Nobody believes the stories any more
D.The legend of the Bermuda Triangle is not over yet.

205453. (2020•西安中学•高二上期末) A recent documentary produced by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) has caused a stir in China and in the UK.
   The documentary,titled Are Our Kids Tough Enough?focuses on five Chinese teachers who are sent to teach 50 UK teens at a school in Hampshire.
   The teachers instruct the students for a month.The pupils are then tested,and the results are compared to the ones of those who have continued in the regular UK education system.The idea is to see if the Chinese method improves academic performance.
   The Chinese teachers use their own teaching methods but receive strong resistance from the students.A clip from the documentary online shows some problems,with Chinese teachers calling their students lazy and lacking in discipline,while the students say the high pressure and harsh teachers are driving them crazy.
   This has aroused a new debate in both China and the UK,with some arguing the teenagers need more regulation and discipline.Others say Chinese methods encourage rote learning(死记硬背) instead of independent thinking.For instance,Chinese language teacherould do more than pass on knowledge about words and characters.They should inspire students,helping them feel the sentiment from Chinese literature.This is a higher level of teaching.
  Yang Dongping,dean of the 21st Century Education Research Institute,says, "The Chinese teaching methods are designed to strictly train the majority.Foreign teaching methods,however,are more natural and relaxing,and designed to inspire students' interest in learning.Education methods are based on culture.That is why a successful education method in one place may not work that well when simply 'transplanted' into another place."
   Yang Dongping says, "The documentary does reflect some problems rooted in traditional Chinese teaching methods.Nobel prize winner,Yang Zhenning,gave a very fair comment on this issue.He said the Chinese-style education method works for most ordinary qualified students effectively,helping them reach high standards.However,it may weaken the training for high-potential outstanding students."

(1)Why are five Chinese teachers sent to teach 50 UK teens?        
A.To test the intelligence of the UK teens.
B.To help the school improve their teaching efficiency.
C.To do some practical research into the UK education system.
D.To test the effectiveness of Chinese teaching methods.
(2)What's the meaning of the underlined word "harsh" in the fourth paragraph?        
A.Extremely strict
B.Quite friendly
C.Rather cold
D.Very attractive
(3)According to Yang Dongping,Chinese teaching methods        
A.fit all countries
B.could be improved
C.are the best in the world
D.are not as good as British methods

205842. (2017•西安中学•高二上期末) WASHINGTON:NASA has announced evidence that Jupiter's largest moon,Ganymede,has a saltwater ocean under its icy surface.The ocean seems to have more water than all the water on Earth's surface,according to new Hubble observation.
   New Hubble observations of Ganymede's magnetic field strongly suggest that the moon,which is the largest in our whole solar system,is home to a subsurface ocean.
   Scientists estimate the ocean is 95 kilometres thick,which is about 10 times deeper than Earth's oceans.But unlike our salty waters,Ganymede's ocean is buried under 150 kilometres of ice.
   While scientists have speculated (推测) since 1970s about the presence of an ocean on Ganymede - the largest moon in our solar system - until now the only observational evidence came from a brief flyby by the Galileo spacecraft,which didn't observe the moon long enough to confirm a liquid ocean.
   This discovery marks an important milestone,highlighting what only Hubble can accomplish.In its 25 years in orbit,Hubble has made many scientific discoveries in our own solar system.A deep ocean under the icy surface of Ganymede opens up further exciting possibilities for life beyond Earth.
    Scientists have already confirmed the existence of an ocean on Europa,another moon orbiting Jupiter,and NASA has announced plans to send an unmanned mission there searching for the life that might come with liquid water.
   Hubble is a telescope that orbits Earth,but because of its impressive gravitational analyses it can be used to study the inside of far distant planets.Using these same principles,scientists could theoretically detect oceans on distant planets as well.

(1)What can we learn about the Ganymede from the passage?        
A.It is a planet with the largest moon in our whole solar system.
B.Its ocean adds to people's excitement about life beyond Earth.
C.It will be used by NASA as a base for the Hubble telescope.
D.Its liquid ocean was first proved by the Galileo spacecraft.
(2)Which of the following best describes the writer's attitude towards Hubble?        
A.Cautious
B.Doubtful
C.Negative
D.Favourable
(3)What does the underlined part in Paragraph 6 mean?        
A.An underground ocean has been found in Europa.
B.The presence of an underground ocean in Europa is not possible.
C.It is now certain that there is an ocean on Europa.
D.No evidence haown the existence of an ocean on Europa.
(4)What type of writing does this passage belong to?        
A.A term essay
B.A news report
C.An experiment report
D.An exploration review

205961. (2016•西安一中•高一下期末) LONDON(Reuters)--Organic fruit,delivered right to the doorstep.That is what Gabriel Gold prefers,and he is willing to pay for it.If this is not possible,the 26-year-old computer technician will spend the extra money at the supermarket to buy organic food.
"Organic produce is always better,"--Gold said."The food is free of pesticides(农药),and you are generally supporting family farms instead of large farms.And more often than not it is locally(本地)grown and seasonal,so it is more tasty."Gold is one of a growing number of shoppers buying into the organic trend,and supermarkets across Britain are counting on more like him as they grow their organic food business.But how many shoppers really know what they are getting,and why are they willing to pay a higher price for organic produce?Market research shows that Gold and others who buy organic food can generally give clear reasons for their preferences-but their knowledge of organic food is far from complete.For example,small amounts of pesticides can be used on organic products.And about three quarters of organic food in Britain is not local but imported(进口)to meet growing demand."The demand for organic food is increasing by about one third every year,so it is a very fast-growing market,"said Sue Flock,a specialist in this line of business.
(1)More and more people in Britain are buying organic food because        
A.they are getting richer

205979. (2016•西安一中•高二下期末) All hotels redecorate regularly.However,very few do it as frequently as Sweden's Ice hotel.As the name indicates,the hotel that is located in the remote village of Jukkasjarvi,is built entirely from ice and,therefore,has to be rebuilt annually!The 26th version of Ice hotel,which welcomed its first visitors on December 11th,features 69 rooms.To make them affordable for everyone,they range from expensive luxury suites to basic accommodations.
Among this year's unique suite offerings is the"Elephant in the Room",which features a massive 3-m tall sculpted African elephant overlooking an ice-framed bed.The"Counting Sheep"suite features frozen sheep that may help those who don't sleep well get a good night's rest.Though the atmosphere between the luxury suites and the budget rooms may differ,they are all subject to the bone-chilling-5℃temperatures.To get a good night's rest guests have to lie inside sleeping bags and keep their gloves and hats on.Though that seems a little uncomfortable,visitors say it is an experience like none other.
The hotel also features a beautifully crafted ice church where over 100 couples will get married this year and an Ice Bar that will serve drinks in ice glasses.Though dining options are limited to the hotel's only restaurant,guests will have little to complain about with Michelin-trained chef Alexander Meier.To keep customers entertained,the hotel offers a variety of fun activities like snowshoeing,moose or snowmobile safaris,dog sledding,and even overnight wilderness camping.
The 26-year-?old tradition began accidentally in 1989 when locals organized an art exhibition to draw winter visitors to the remote village that lies 200km north of the Arctic Circle.Among the many tourists was an adventurous group and they announced their intention of spending the night in the place where the exhibition was being held.That's when the idea of building the icy accommodations dawned on the locals.

205999. (2016•长安区一中•高一下期末) In America the first newspaper appeared in Boston in 1690.Published without permission,it was immediately banned,and all copies were destroyed.Indeed,it remained forgotten until 1845 when the only surviving example was discovered in the British Library.
The first successful newspaper was the Boston News-Letter,begun by John Campbell in 1704.Although it was heavily supported by the government,the experiment was nearly a failure,with the limited number of published newspapers.Two more papers were published in the 1720s,in Philadelphia and New York.Just before the Revolutionary War,some two dozen papers were published in all the colonies(殖民地),although Massachusetts,New York,and Pennsylvania would remain the centers of American printing for many years.Articles in colonial papers were a major force that affected public opinion in America to be fully independent.
When the war ended in 1783 there were forty-three newspapers in print.The newspapers played an active role in the affairs of the new nation.Many more newspapers were started,representing all kinds of political opinions,and America's newspapers began to take on a central role in national affairs.Growth continued in every state.By 1814 there were 346 newspapers.
The price of a year's worth of newspapers was usually over a full week's pay for a worker.It had to be paid in full and in advance.This cheap,interesting reading material helped to make almost everyone in America develop the habit of reading,which is now taken for granted.

A.Because it was the first newspaper supported by the government.
B.Because it was immediately accepted by the American people.
C.Because it published a large number of newspapers.
D.Because never before was one newspaper published.
(3)Why was the first newspaper in America stopped from being published?        
A.Because no one wanted to buy newspapers at that time.
B.Because only the British Library had the right to publish it.
C.Because it was published without the permission of the government.
D.Because no one in America could read newspapers at that time.
(4)What was the situation for newspapers in America after the war ended in 1783?

206027. (2016•长安区一中•高二下期末) On May 3,2002,archaeologists in England found a grave of a man dating back to around 2300 BC.Buried with him were the tools of a hunter or warrior.There was a bone pin that may have been from a piece of clothing such as a leather coat.He carried a copper knife on his breast.The most amazing find was two gold earrings.That would have made him a man of distinction.Only a few centimeters from his head were two pots made of clay,tools and materials to make arrows,a bow and a dozen arrows for hunting and a second,smaller copper knife.Next to them lay a cushion stone,upon which the man could work metal.
His grave is the richest of any found from that period,because this man was buried with two gold earrings which are the oldest gold ever found in Britain (dated to 2470 BC).Besides,he was buried three miles from Stonehenge.Archaeologists tend to believe he was a member of a powerful class who might have organized the construction of Stonehenge.
Stonehenge was begun around 3,000 BC.In about 2300 BC the huge stone circles were built.The biggest stone weighed approximately 20 tons.But the smaller blue stones,still weighing 4 tons on average,came from west Wales.It is not yet known how these were conveyed over a distance of 380km.It is also a mystery how early man was able to construct Stonehenge without the use of modern construction machines and lorries.
He is an example of people who brought culture and new techniques from the European mainland to Britain.In terms of technical development people were going from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age and then to the Iron Age.

206054. (2016•七十中•高一下期末) It is believed by experts that a weather pattern called El Nino caused the drought in Australia.EL Nino,referring to the Christ son in Spanish,was first used by people in Peru to show the abnormal weather conditions along the eastern Pacific coast around Christmas.EL Nino causes different weather in different parts of the world.It causes a lot of rain and floods in some places.It causes droughts in other places.Droughts can badly affect people and the land.El Nino lasts about a year.
In normal weather conditions,warm winds from South America blow from east to west across the Pacific Ocean.The winds bring early storms to Australia.These storms bring rain to Australia.
During an El Nino weather pattern the winds change direction.They blow from west to east across the Pacific Ocean.The storms no longer move across Australia.So Australia gets very little rain during El Nino.
The drought began in January,1982.El Nino often occurs at this time of year.But that year,El Nino was stronger than usual.There was very little rainfall in eastern Australia.There was also very little water in the rivers.The drought was at its worst in February,1983.At that time,the weather was very hot.The forests and fields were very dry.Cotton growers couldn't plant their cotton.Sheep farmers had no grass for their animals to eat.So many of them died.Because the forests were dry,forest fires started quickly.Some of the fires burned for a month.Many forests were destroyed.Over 2,000 people lost their houses in the fires and 75 people died.
The Australian drought of 1982-1983 affected thousands of people and animals.The drought cost the country over 3,000,000,000.It was a reminder to Australians of how the weather could change their lives.
(1)From the passage we know El Nino is        
A.a powerful storm
B.a place in Australia
C.a cute boy
D.a weather pattern
(2)The underlined word"occurs"in the passage means"        "in Chinese.

A.There was very little rainfall in eastern Australia in 1982.
B.Many forests were destroyed in the Australian drought.
C.The Australian government paid over 3,000,000,000 for this drought.

205426. (2020•西安中学•高二下期末) Recently there was a major discovery in the scientific research-the mapping of all DNA in a human gene is complete.Several years ago,it seems an impossible task for scientist to accomplish.All this progress in science leads us to believe that the day when human being will be cloned is not far away.Human cloning has always been a topic of argument in terms of morality (道德) or religion.
   Taking a look at why cloning might be beneficial,among many cases,it is arguable that parents who are known to be at risk of passing a genetic limitation to a child could make use of cloning.Moreover,cloning would enable women who can't get pregnant to have children of their own.
   Cloning humans would also mean that organs could be cloned,so it would be a source of perfect transfer organs.This surely would be greatly beneficial to millions of unfortunate people around the world who are expected to lose their lives due to organ problems.It is also arguable that a ban on cloning may be unlawful and would rob people of the right to reproduce and limit the freedom of scientists.
   However,arguments against cloning are also on a perfectly practical side.Primarily,I believe that cloning would step in the normal "cycle" of life.There would be a large number of same genes,which reduce the chances of evolution,since it may be difficult for living creatures to naturally adapt to the ever-changing environment,which will result in ultimate disappearance.Furthermore,cloning would make the uniqueness that each one of us possesses disappear.Thus,leading to creation of genetically engineered groups of people for specific purposes and,chances are that those individuals would be regarded as "objects" rather than people in the society.
   Scientists couldn't surely guarantee that the first cloned humans will be normal.Thus this could result in introduction of additional limitations in the human "gene-pool".
   Regarding such arguable topics in "black or white" approach seems very innocent.We should try to look at all "shades" of it.I believe that cloning is only legal if its purpose is for cloning organs;not humans.Then we could regard this as for "saving life" instead of "creating life".It is believed that cloning humans is morally and socially unacceptable.

(1)What's the author's opinion on cloning?       
A.Cloning should be entirely banned.
B.Cloning should be used in creating life.
C.Cloning will take away the right to reproduce.
D.Cloning is acceptable if it is used for cloning organs.
(2)Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?

203285. (2016•华清中学•二模) Last year more than one million Filipinos worked abroad as servants,nurses,sailors and in other difficult but low-paid jobs.Southeast Asians leave their poorer countries for their richer neighbours.
Many of these wage-earners return in the end.In the meantime,they send home huge amounts of money-in the Philippines' case,over 10% of its GDP.Between January and November,the amount was up 18% on the same period of 2005.Poverty and unemployment are still high in the Philippines and other labour-exporting (劳务输出) countries.They would be far worse but for this outflow of bodies and inflow of dollars.As for those Asian countries that import (输入) labour,as in Europe,falling birth rates mean they are going to need more foreign workers.
On January 13th leaders of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) signed an agreement to help migrant (流动的) workers-with the realization that the flow of labour between their countries is a growing problem that they cannot blame on outsiders.A 2005 study showed that 8.4 million Southeast Asians worked outside their home countries,but this did not include the huge numbers of Indonesians doing so without papers.So the true total is probably rather higher.
Of the ten ASEAN countries,the Philipines,Indonesia,Myanmar,Cambodia,Vietnam and Laos export labour,Singapore and Brunei import it,and Thailand and Malaysia do both.Sziraczki of the UN's International Labour Organization points out that,in the next ten years,the total labour force of the worker-exporting countrieould grow by about a third.It makes sense to work on the problem before it gets out of control.
People in the receiving countries seem to be worried about competition for their jobs.Most Thais said their government should admit no more foreign workers,and a few thought otherwise.Even in Singapore,just over half of people are against admitting more foreign workers.Malaysians think that the increase in foreign workers has worsened crime rates (犯罪率).
(1)It can be inferred from the case of the Philippines that        
A.the country is Asia's main source of migrant workers
B.labour exports lead to a 10% growth of its GDP
C.the outflow of labour helps solve its social problems
D.the country both exports and imports labour force
(2)The flow of labour is a growing problem because        
A.there is a greater flow of labour than reported
B.more Indonesians work abroad without papers
C.some countries suffer from low birth rates
D.the ASEAN is against admitting foreign workers
(3)For the labour-importing countries,the flow of labour may lead to        
A.higher birth rates
B.lower crime rates
C.greater money inflows
D.stronger job competition
(4)The writer of the text seems to        
A.support the flow of labour between countries
B.report fairly on the question of labour flow
C.express his worries over the ASEAN's decision
D.regard the outflow of labour as a serious problem.

203283. (2016•华清中学•二模) When former American President Bill Clinton traveled to South Korea to visit President Kim Young Sam,he repeatedly referred to the Korean president's wife as Mrs.Kim.By mistake,President Clinton's advisers thought that Koreans have the same naming customs as the Japanese.Clinton had not been told that,in Korea,wives keep their family names.President Kim Young Sam's wife was named Sohn Myong Suk.Therefore,she should be addressed (称谓) as Mrs.Sohn.
President Clinton arrived in Korea directly after leaving Japan and had not changed his culture thinking patterns.His failure to follow Korean customs gave the impression that Korea was not as important to him as Japan.
In addition to Koreans,some Asian husbands and wives do not share the same family names.This practice often puzzles English-speaking teachers when talking with a pupil's parents.They become puzzled about the student's correct last name.Placing the family name first is common among a number of Asian cultures.
Mexican naming customs are different as well.When a woman marries,she keeps her family name and adds her husband's name after the word de (of).This affects how they fill in forms in the United States.When requested to fill in a middle name,they generally write the father's family name.But Mexicans are addressed by the family name of the mother.This often causes puzzlement.
Here are a few ways to deal with such difficult situations:don't always think that a married woman uses her husband's last name.Remember that in many Asian cultures,the order of first and last names is reversed (颠倒).Ask which name a person would prefer to use.If the name is difficult to pronounce,admit it,and ask the person to help you say it correctly.
(1)The story of Bill Clinton is used to        
A.improve US-Korean relations
B.introduce the topic of the text
C.describe his visit to Korea
D.tell us how to address a person
(2)When a woman marries in Korea,she        
A.continues to use her family name
B.uses her husband's given name
C.shares her husband's family name
D.adds her husband's given name to hers
(3)To address a married woman properly,you'd better        
A.use her middle name
B.use her husband's first name
C.ask her which name she likes
D.change the order of her names.

203073. (2017•铁一中学•三模) Good news for giant panda lovers:The cute and cuddly creature has just been brought back from the brink of extinction.
The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) downgraded the species from"endangered"to"vulnerable"as the union released its updated Red List on Sept 4 at Hawaii.
德优题库
The downgrade came after IUCN data suggested that there were 1,864 giant pandas in the wild in China in 2014-their population has grown by 17 percent in the decade leading up to 2014.
Chinese conservation efforts,including forest protection and reforestation,are considered to be the driving force behind the animal's resurgence.
"It's all about restoring the habitats,"Craig Hilton-Taylor,head of the IUCN Red List,told the BBC.
The number of panda reserves in China has also jumped to 67,from 13 in 1992.Nearly two-thirds of all wild pandas live in these reserves,according to the World Wildlife Fund.
"Just by restoring the panda's habitat,that's given them back their space and made food available to them,"Hilton-Taylor said.
A loss of habitats,on the contrary,was what caused the number of pandas to drop to just over 1,200 in the 1980s,Hilton-Taylor added.
Apart from giant pandas,the Tibetan Antelope has also moved from"endangered"to"near threatened".According to a statement from IUCN,the animal's numbers dwindled severely-dropping from around 1 million to an estimated 65,000-72,500 in the 1980s and early 1990s-due to commercial poaching.Rigorous(严格的) protection has since been enforced to protect the beasts and the population is now likely to be between 100,000 and 150,000.
Despite the improved statuses,wild animals like the giant panda and the Tibetan Antelope still face great challenges.The IUCN warned,for example,that ongoing threats from climate change could eliminate more than 35 percent of the panda's bamboo habitat in the next 80 years,which would reverse the species recent gains.

(1)What does the underlined word in pagagraph 1 mean?        
A.dangerous and threatened
B.safe and sound
C.weak and easily hurt
D.normal and common
(2)Which of the following can account for pandas' living improvement?        
A.Better climate.
B.More built reserves.
C.Well restored habitats.
D.Aroused public awareness.
(3)The passage is written in order to        
A.convince
B.inform
C.argue D advocate
(4)What does the last paragraph imply?        
A.The climate will influence the threatened species.
B.We humans still have a long way to go to protect the endangered species.
C.Pandas will go extinct for lack of abundant food.
D.Habitats for giant pandas will decrease sharply.
