【题目】 Bats often appear in movies and literature as frightening creatures. The animals have even been linked in some cultures to vampires, seeking to attack humans and drink the blood of them. In reality, bats are usually not harmful to people. They can do good things for people and the environment. For example, bats eat a lot of different insects that can harm our environment. They can also spread seeds.

But a serious disease is currently threatening the bat population in many parts of the United States. The disease is called white-nose syndrome. It has killed more than 6 million bats across the United States since 2007. Bats catch the disease through their skin while resting on the walls of mountain caves. Biologist Lindsay Rohrbaugh says that the disease spreads quickly and can lead to strange behavior in bats.

In Washington D. C, researchers are studying how white-nose syndrome is affecting the area's nine species of bats. Some scientists are trapping bats on an island in the middle of the Anacostia River to test for the disease. The group is receiving money to help carry out their studies.

Marco Carvello is with the Washington D. C Government's Department of Energy and Environment. "Scientists are concerned that the disease is continuing to greatly reduce the bat population. The bat deaths are affecting the quality of human life in many ways. Without bats, there is an increase of many insects. And that's only going to get worse over time if some ways can't be found," he said.

One theory is that some bats are no longer returning to caves to avoid getting, sick. This means more of them are now making their way into cities, where contact with humans is more likely Experts advise people to keep away from bats in case they have the disease. And animal control officers should safely remove the animals.

【1】According to Paragraph I people tend to think bats __________.

A.should be protected

B.can help spread seeds

C.do harm to human beings

D.may damage the environment

【2】Which of the following might Marco Carvello agree with?

A.The disease has led to people's strange behavior.

B.The-disease may cause the disappearance of bats.

C.The government should control the spread of the disease.

D.The decrease in the bat population can greatly affect humans' life.

C.A disease-causes many deaths of bats.

D.We should have a high opinion of bats.

【题目】 More than half of the birds in Washington are at risk of extinction because of climate change. That's according to a new national report from the Audubon Society, which gives detailed analysis of climate effects on about 600 species of North American birds.

It's based on more than 140 million observations of birds across the US, Mexico and Canada. Audubon scientists looked at the likely effects of sea-level rise, urbanization, drought, extreme spring heat, increased fires, heavy rain and other factors.

But it doesn't just spell out a doomsday scenario (世界末日).Instead, it offers a range of effects and warming, depending on how much carbon humans add to the atmosphere.

"It is truly an existential threat (威胁), not only to birds but to people,” said Doug Santoni, board chair of Audubon Washington, who looked into the report as soon as it came out.

Santoni says he was struck to see the vulnerability (脆弱)of a common “ backyard bird" , the dark-eyed junco. It's one that many first-time birders become familiar with as they learn how to identify species based on their markings and other traits. Currently in Washington, you can count on juncos to show up at your feeder, year round. Extreme spring heat, increased fires and heavy rain are the kinds of changes that will force birds like these north, or kill them off if they fail to adapt.

Trina Bayard, director of bird conservation at Audubon’s Washington chapter, says, "It's certainly a very serious warning report," but adds that there’s still hope. “If we can stabilize current temperatures and decrease our emissions (排放), we can really reduce the effects to these birds …that's very motivating. ”

【1】What can we know about the new report?

A.It analyses the species of birds in detail.

B.It's issued by watching 600 bird species.

C.It shows the end of North American birds.

D.It reports the threat some birds are facing.

【2】What may Santoni probably agree with?

A.Climate change is a threat only to birds.

B.It's too late to take action to save the birds.

C.The current situation of the birds is worrying.

D.It's common that birds are affected by climate change.

【3】Which of the following can help these birds according to Trina?

A.Lowering present temperatures.

B.Reducing our daily emissions.

C.Making them adapt to climate change.

D.Encouraging people to protect them.

【4】What can be the best title for the text?

A.Climate change threatens many Washington bird species.

B.A new report about 600 species of North American birds.

C.Different attitudes towards the situation of bird species.

D.Climate change makes different kinds of species at risk.

【题目】请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。

The expression,“ everybody’s doing it,” is very much at the center of the concept of peer pressure. It is a strong influence of a group, especially of children, on members of that group to behave as everybody else does. It can be positive or negative. Most people experience it in some way during their lives.

People are social creatures by nature, and so it is hardly surprising that part of their self-respect comes from the approval of others. This instinct (天性) is why the approval of peers, or the fear of disapproval, is such a powerful force in many people’s lives. It is the same instinct that drives people to dress one way at home and another way at work, or to answer “fine” when a stranger asks“ how are you?” even if it is not necessarily true. There is a practical aspect to this: it helps society to function efficiently, and encourages a general level of self-discipline that simplifies day-to-day interaction.

For certain individuals, seeking social acceptance is so important that it becomes like an addiction; in order to satisfy the desire, they may go so far as to abandon their sense of right and wrong. Teens and young adults may feel forced to use drugs, or join gangs that encourage criminal behavior. Mature adults may sometimes feel pressured to cover up illegal activity at the company where they work, or end up in debt because they are unable to hold back the desire to buy a house or car that they can’t afford in an effort to“ keep up with the Joneses”.

However, peer pressure is not always negative. A student whose friends are good at academics may be urged to study harder and get good grades. Players on a sports team may feel driven to play harder in order to help the team win. This type of influence can also get a friend off drugs, or to help an adult take up a good habit or drop a bad one. Study groups and class projects are examples of positive peer groups that encourage people to better themselves.

Schools try to teach kids about the dangers of negative peer pressure. They teach kids to stand up and be themselves, and encourage them to politely decline to do things that they believe are wrong. Similarly, it can be helpful to encourage children to greet the beneficial influence of positive peer groups.
