7.Does your country have a national species?In early 2013,BBC Wildlife magazine held a poll to ask readers to select a symbol for the UK.There were 10species to choose from,including the badger,the red squirrel,the otter and the robin.And the winner,with over 3,849votes(about 40% of the total),was the hedgehog!
The hedgehog is a small mammal with quills(刺)on its body.ft weighs between 250and 550grams,eats mostly insects,and curls up into a little ball when it feels threatened.It'sanocturnal(夜间活动的)animal that can be found in parts of Europe,Asia and Africa.There are no hedgehogs native to Australia or the Americas.
The name"hedgehog"came into use around the year 1450.It comes from the Middle English"hegge"(meaning"hedge").and"hogge"(which means"hog").Sadly,hedgehog numhers are declining in Britain.They've almost halved over the past 20years to less than a million.
Some people were disappointed that there were so few insects on the list.But Ben Hoare,an editor of BBC Wildlife,had a different opinion.He said,‘'All the other insects are very important,but I'm not sure they make a good national symbol.Fur and feathers tend to win over creepy-crawlies(爬行类昆虫).'
The hedgehog has long been popular in the UK.It's generally seen as a hard-working and friendly animal.And one of the characters from Beatrix Potter's books is a hedgehog called Mrs.Tiggy,Winkle.It's also popular with gardeners as it eats garden pests such as slugs and snails.
"Of course we consider them to be friendly because we see them in our gardens,"said Ben"And seeing all those hedgehogs run on the roads probably makes us even fonder of
them.

28.Why was-the hedgehog selected as a national symbol of the UK?D
A.It's good一looking.
B.It's rare in the UK.
C.It's endangered.
D.It's very popular.
29.Paragraph 2is mainly about the hedgehog'sA.
A.basic feature      
B.appearance         
C.eating habits       
D.weight
30.What is Ben Hoare's attitude towards hedgehog's victory?C
A.Doubtful.  
B.Disappointed.  
C.Supportive.  
D.Unsatisfied.
31.Mrs.Tiggy,Winkle might beB.
A.the name of a book     
B.a hedgehog       
C.a gardener         
D.a novelist.

19.A Good Custodian
I know a woman who tries hard to be a good custodian.
I pass her  every day after school as she pushes her cart down my
hallway.Of course,she is my building's cleaner,
One Tuesday morning I came into school and saw a (36)C on my
desk from my custodian,
It seemed that some unbearable first year students had damaged the bathroom in a particularly disgusting way and she had been (37)D to clean it.This took(38)B than she had expected. She had left the typewritten note on my desk to (39)A  for not being able to clean my room as she was (40)D to do.
At the beginning of the period,I shared her note with my first period(41)A When I mentioned that our custodian had apologized to us,their first (42)B was to volunteer to seek out and beat up those first year students for making our custodian have to clean up their (43)C.It turned out that just about all of my students also knew our custodian by name-all of them responded with smiles and (44)A for a long time about this time or that time when she'd(45)D each of them in the hallway.That she felt she needed to apologize (46)C a strong reaction from many of the kids.
As the class period was about to end,I asked them to(47)C  the floor like I do every period and thanked them for picking up any garbage (48)A  it wasn't theirs.My entire class disappeared; they each disappeared instantly(49)B their desks to pick up those annoying tiny pieces of paper that (50)B so easily from notebooks.One girl made a (an)(51)D that I later used with my other classes:"Her job might be to clean the room,but she shouldn't have to clean up(52)A us.There's a difference."
I believe that people know the difference between right and wrong.I believe that people appreciate it when others(53)D take care of them.And I believe that people,even adolescents who are not quite yet mature,appreciate it when they see someone who takes (54)Bin her work. Sometimes we need a (55)C of the things we take for granted…things like a good custodian to take care of us.

16.Greenland is Shrinking at Surprising Rate
A new study shows one of the largest glaciers in Greenland is becoming smaller and speeding to the sea faster than scientists expected.If it continues,Greenland itself could become much smaller during this century and global seas could rise as much as 3feet.
The rates of change that we're noticing are much higher than expected.If these rates continue,it is not unlikely that Greenland could shrink by several tens of percent this century.However,it's not known how quickly this coastal response of the Greenland ice sheet melting will have an effect on the vast inland ice.
Greenland is the world's largest island,covering an area more than three times the size of Texas.Some 81percent of it is covered by ice,and there are many glaciers.Glaciers are like slow-moving rivers of ice.Where a glacier meets the sea,its weight keeps it firmly resting on the bottom.A glacier's front is the point where the water is deep enough that the glacier floats.
Since the 1970s,the front of Helheim stayed in the same place.Then it began melting rapidly,moving back 4.5miles from 2001through this past summer.It has also grown thinner,from top to bottom,by more than 130feet since 2001.And over these past four years,its trip to the sea has sped up from about 70feet per day to nearly 110.
The melting is driven by a warmer climate.Temperatures in Greenland have risen more than five degrees Fahrenheit in the last decade.Since most of Greenland's ice is on land,seas will rise as the ice melts.If all Greenland's ice sheet melted,oceans would be 15-20feet higher.Nobody expects that to happen anytime soon.

68.Which of the following about the glaciers is TRUE?C
A.Glaciers only lie in Greenland.
B.Water in glaciers is more than sea water.
C.Glaciers sometimes float on the water.
D.Glaciers can increase the water level of lakes.
69.According to the text,we know that GreenlandB.
A.belongs to Canada
B.is the largest island in North America
C.is all covered with glaciers            
D.is sinking under the sea level
70.Which of the following may be the result of the disappearing of Greenland glaciers?D
A.the climate of the world will be warmer.
B.the glaciers in other area will be bigger.
C.It will be easy for explorers to visit the island.
D.Some coastal cities may be under the sea.
