摘要：第一节(共15小题;每小题2分.满分30分): A Life in 2060 Let us suppose it is now about A.D. 2060. Let’s make believe it is about sixty years from now. Of course, things have changed and life is very different. Voyages to the moon are being made every day. It is as easy to take a holiday on the moon today as it was for the people in 1960 to take a holiday in Europe. At a number of scenic spots on the moon, many hotels have been built. The hotels are air-conditioned, naturally. In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon, every room has at least one picture window. Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment of young and old. What are people eating now? People are still eating food. They haven’t yet started to take on heir supply of energy directly as electrical current or as nuclear power. They may some day. But many foods now come in pill form, and the food that goes into the pill continues to come mainly from green plants. Since there are several times as many people in the world today as there were a hundred years ago, most of our planet’s surface has to be filled. The deserts are irrigated with water and crops are no longer destroyed by pests. The harvest is always good. Farming, of course, is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible to run the farm by just pushing a few buttons now and then. People are now largely vegetarians. You see, as the number of people increases, the number of animals decreases. Therefore, the people have to be vegetarians and we are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds, and we know the causes and cure of disease and pain, and it is possible to get rid of diseases. No one has to be ill any more. Such would be our life in 2060. 56. According to the passage, what will be on the moon in about A.D. 2060? A. Many tourists. B. Many other animals. C. Many plants. D.

Three years ago, between 20 and 50 Bengal tigers lived in the Suklaphanta Wildlife Reserve in Nepal. But this year, researchers reported evidence of only 6 to 14 tigers. The Nepalese government announced the decrease of the tiger population last month. The wildlife reserve measures about 30,000 hectares . It is the world’s third largest living area for the big cats. The situation has become very serious. The officials said illegal hunting is the major cause of tigers’ disappearing from this protected area. The World Wildlife Fund did most of the study about the tigers. The findings were based on pictures taken by camera traps from January to April. Researchers used two cameras to take pictures of the tigers from both sides. But the cameras also photographed the hunters who killed the tigers and removed their remains. The Suklaphanta Wildlife Reserve is on the border with India. World Wildlife Fund officials say this makes it easy to illegally transport protected Wildlife. Very few of the tigers’ remains are found because all of the animals’ parts are valuable in the illegal wildlife trade. Mr. Miceler says the loss of tigers is linked to a powerful international criminal group that controls the illegal wildlife trade. Only about 2,000 to 4,000 Bengal tigers survive in the wild. Most of them live in forests in central and south India, Bhutan, and the Himalayan foothills of India and Nepal. Bengal tigers also live in China, Bangladesh and Burma.

I opened the front door and saw two small children in rags huddling together inside the storm door on the top step. “Any old papers, lady? asked one of them. I was busy. I wanted to say “ no until I looked down at their feet. They were wearing thin little sandals, wet with heavy snow. “ Come in and I’ll make you a cup of hot cocoa. They walked over and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. I served them cocoa and bread with jam to fight against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started again on my household budget. The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, “Lady, are you rich? I looked at my shabby slipcovers. The girl put her cup back in its saucer carefully and said, “Your cups match your saucers. Her voice was hungry with a need that no amount of food could supply. They left after that, holding their bundles of papers against the wind. They hadn’t said “Thank you . They didn’t need to. They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful. Plain blue china cups and saucers were only worth five pence. But they matched. I tasted the potatoes and stirred the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof over our heads, my man with a good steady job―these matched, too. I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The muddy prints of small sandals were still wet upon my floor. Let them be for a while, I thought, just in case I should begin to forget how rich I am. 68.
