【题目】A new study shows the world’s fastest land animal could be running towards extinction.

The Zoological Society of London (ZSL), Panthera, and Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) led the study. It estimates that only 7,100 cheetahs（猎豹）remain worldwide, mainly found in Africa. But according to the study, cheetahs have been forced out of 91% of their native range. Cheetahs found in Asia are among the hardest hit. Fewer than 50 are left in a small part of Iran.

Many factors are to blame for the decline in cheetah numbers, including habitat loss and the illegal trade. Prey（猎物）loss is also a problem. Humans cause it by overhunting animals that cheetahs prey on. Cheetahs are carnivores and prey mainly on smaller mammals, for example gazelles.

Because cheetahs usually roam over large areas in search of food, 77% of their habitat remains outside of government-protected areas. This means cheetahs are in constant danger of hunters and traders. In Zimbabwe, Africa, alone, the cheetah population has dropped from 1,200 to only about 170 in 16 years. This decline represents a loss of 85% of the country’s cheetahs.

Dr. Kim Young—Overton, Panthera’s Cheetah Program Director, thinks protected habitats alone are not enough to save cheetahs. Cheetahs in reserves also face dangers such as loss of prey and illegal trade.

Dr. Sarah Durant, the study’s lead author, believes that the information it contains will lead to a better understanding of cheetahs as well as a better approach to helping them survive. Durant says local and national officials must team up in order to save cheetahs. But first, the International Union for Conservation of Nature must classify the animals as endangered. Currently, cheetahs are classified as weak on the IUCN’s Red List of Threatened Species. The change would focus more attention on cheetahs and help protect them for extinction. After all, in the fight to save cheetahs, it's a race against time.

【1】What is the present situation of cheetahs according to the study?

A. They are in danger.

B. They live freely worldwide.

C. They are protected well in Africa.

D. They mainly live in their native range.

【2】What does the underlined word “carnivores” refer to?

A. Animals kept at home.

B. Animals living in zoos.

C. Animals feeding on meat.

D. Animals killed in the wild.

【3】What results in the decline of the cheetah population according to the text?

A. The loss of their reserves.

B. Their appearance in unpreserved areas.

C. The decreasing government protection.

D. Their increasing natural enemies.

【4】What does Dr. Sarah Durant think of the study of cheetahs?

A. It shows ways of wildlife protection.

B. It implies people’s role in saving animals.

C. It stresses the importance of cheetahs in our life.

D. It informs people of cheetahs’ existing state.

【答案】

【1】A

【2】C

【3】B

【4】D

【解析】

本文是一篇说明文。一项新的研究表明，世界上最快的陆地动物猎豹可能正在走向灭绝。Dr. Sarah Durant对印度豹的研究告诉人们印度豹的存在状态。

【1】细节理解题。根据第四段中This means cheetahs are in constant danger of hunters and traders.可知，根据这项研究，猎豹现在处于危险状态。故选A。

【2】词义猜测题。根据第三段中Prey（猎物）loss is also a problem. Humans cause it by overhunting animals that cheetahs prey on. Cheetahs are carnivores and prey mainly on smaller mammals, for example gazelles. 猎物的损失也是一个问题。人类是通过过度捕猎动物来捕食的，而这正是猎豹所捕食的动物。猎豹是食肉动物，主要捕食小型哺乳动物，例如瞪羚。由此可知，划线词的意思是“食肉动物”，故选C。

【3】细节理解题。根据第四段第一句ecause cheetahs usually roam over large areas in search of food, 77% of their habitat remains outside of government-protected areas.可知，根据文本，猎豹数量的下降主要是他们出现在未被保护的地区。故选B。

【4】推理判断题。根据最后一段中Currently, cheetahs are classified as weak on the IUCN’s Red List of Threatened Species. The change would focus more attention on cheetahs and help protect them for extinction. After all, in the fight to save cheetahs, it's a race against time.可知，Dr. Sarah Durant对印度豹的研究告诉人们印度豹的存在状态。故选D。

利用上下文提供的情景和线索，进行合乎逻辑的综合分析进而推测词义，特别注意上下文的语境，千万不能脱离开语境，尤其要注意划线词两边的内容。根据第三段中Prey（猎物）loss is also a problem. Humans cause it by overhunting animals that cheetahs prey on. Cheetahs are carnivores and prey mainly on smaller mammals, for example gazelles. 猎物的损失也是一个问题。人类是通过过度捕猎动物来捕食的，而这正是猎豹所捕食的动物。猎豹是食肉动物，主要捕食小型哺乳动物，例如瞪羚。由此可知，划线词的意思是“食肉动物”，故选C。

Do you prefer to travel by plane or by train? To my opinion, there are advantages and disadvantages travelling both by plane and by train. Travel by plane is time-saving, comfortably, and you can have a good rest on the trip, but it is too expensive. Unless you travel by train, it is not expensive and quite safety and you can appreciate the beautiful scenery on both sides of the railway. However, it was too crowded and time-wasting, and we can take a good rest. So you can see every coin have two sides. You’d better to choose either of them depend on your own interest and economy.

【题目】 As we have seen, the focus of medical care in our society has been shifting from curing disease to preventing disease — especially in terms of changing our many unhealthy behaviors, such as poor eating habits, smoking, and failure to exercise. The line of thought involved in this shift can be pursued further. Imagine a person who is about the right weight, but does not eat very nutritious foods, who feels OK but exercises only occasionally, and who has no chest pains or abnormal blood counts, but sleeps a lot and often feels tired. This person is not ill. He may not even be at risk for any particular disease. But we can imagine that this person could be a lot healthier.

The field of medicine has not traditionally distinguished between someone who is merely “not ill” and someone who is in excellent health and pays attention to the body’s special needs. Both types have simply been called “well”. In recent years, however, some health specialists have begun to apply the terms “well” and “wellness” only to those who are actively attempting to maintain and improve their health. People who are well are concerned with nutrition and exercise, and they make a point of monitoring their body’s condition. Most importantly, perhaps, people who are well take active responsibility for all matters related to their health. Even people who have a physical disease or handicap (缺陷) may be “well”. In this new sense, if they make an effort to maintain the best possible health, they can in the face of their physical limitations. “Wellness” may perhaps best be viewed not as a state that people can achieve, but as an ideal that people can struggle for. People who are well are likely to be better able to resist disease and to fight disease when it strikes. And by focusing attention on healthy ways of living, the concept of wellness can have a beneficial influence on the ways in which people face the challenges of daily life.

【1】Today’s medical care is placing more stress on ________.

A.keeping people in a healthy physical condition

B.monitoring patients’ body functions

C.removing people’s bad living habits

D.ensuring people’s psychological well-being

【2】According to the passage, the true meaning of the underlined word “wellness” is for people ________.

A.to best satisfy their body’s special needs

B.to strive to maintain the best possible health

C.to meet the strictest standards of bodily health

D.to keep a proper balance between work and leisure

【3】According to what the author advocates (主张), which of the following groups of people would be considered healthy?

A.People who have strong muscles as well as slim figures.

B.People who are not presently experiencing any symptoms of disease.

C.People who try to be as healthy as possible, regardless of their limitations.

D.People who can recover from illness even without seeking medical care.
