Dinosaurs, saber-tooth tigers and the dodo bird are famous examples (21) __ ____ of animals that have become extinct. In case of the dinosaurs, it (22) seems likely that a catastrophic event alters the global climate (23) enough to lead to their disappearance. More recent extinctions and near-extinctions－such as the blue whales, tiger, panda, and (24) North American bison—have been the direct result of human activity. By the early 1990s, species were becoming extinct at a rate of three per hour, or 27,000 every day – a figure quoted by the American biologist Edward O.Wilson of Harvard University, based on his most conservative estimates. This rate of extinctions carries with it some terrible consequences. Each plant that becomes extinct, for example, may take with it as much as 30 insects and animals (25) that depend on it for food. Habitat loss is one of the most important causes of extinction. For rising populations in many countries lead to the clearing of more land, habitats such as raining forest and grasslands disappear. In the East Africa, once renowned for its wildlife, few wild animals remain living outside the boundaries of national parks and game (29) reserves. In other parts of the world, coastal ecosystems are clearing (26) (27) (28) (30)

for development. Wetland areas are drying out as a result of water extraction to support farming and tourism. Bird species are among the worst affected by the loss of wetlands. Part II. Reading Comprehension (50 %) Section A (30 %) Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D).You should decide on the best choice and write your answers on the Answer Sheet. Passage 1 He emerged, all of a sudden, in 1957: the most explosive new poetic talent of the English post-war era. Poetry specialized, at that moment, in the wry chronicling of the everyday. The poetry of Yorkshire-born Ted Hughes, first published in a book called “The Hawk in the Rain” when he was 27, was unlike anything written by his immediate predecessors. Driven by an almost Jacobean rhetoric, it had a visionary fervour. Its most eye-catching characteristic was Hughes's ability to get beneath the skins of animals: foxes, otters, pigs. These animals were the real thing all right, but they were also armorial devices—symbols of the countryside and lifeblood of the earth in which they were rooted. It gave his work a raw, primal stink. It was not only England that thought so either. Hughes's book was also published in America, where it won the Galbraith prize, a major literary award. But then, in 1963, Sylvia Plath, a young American poet whom he had first met at Cambridge University in 1956, and who became his wife in the summer of that year, committed suicide. Hughes was vilified for long after that, especially by feminists in America. In 1998, the year he died, Hughes broke his own self-imposed public silence about their relationship in a book of loose-weave poems called “Birthday Letters”. In this new and exhilarating collection of real letters, Hughes returns to the issue of his first wife's death, which he calls his “big and unmanageable event”. He felt his talent muffled by the perpetual eavesdropping upon his every move. Not until he decided to publish his own account of their relationship did the burden begin to lighten. The analysis is raw, pained and ruthlessly self-aware. For all the moral torment, the writing itself has the same rush and vigour that possessed Hughes's early poetry. Some books of letters serve as a personalized historical chronicle. Poets' letters are seldom like that, and Hughes's are no exception. His are about a life of literary engagement: almost all of them include some musing on the state or the nature of writing, both Hughes's own or other people's. The trajectory of Hughes's literary

career had him moving from obscurity to fame, and then, in the eyes of many, to life-long notoriety. These letters are filled with his wrestling with the consequences of being the part-private, part-public creature that he became, desperate to devote himself to his writing, and yet subject to endless invasions of his privacy. Hughes is an absorbing and intricate commentator upon his own poetry, even when he is standing back from it and good-humouredly condemning himself for “ its fantasticalia, its pretticisms and its infinite verballifications ” . He also believed, from first to last, that poetry had a special place in the education of children. “What kids need”, he wrote in a 1988 letter to the secretary of state for education in the Conservative government, “is a headfull [sic] of songs that are not songs but blocks of refined and achieved and exemplary language.” When that happens, children have “the guardian angel installed behind the tongue”. Lucky readers, big or small. 31．The poetry of Hughes’s forerunners is characteristic of ______ A. its natural, crude flavor. B. its distorted depiction of people’s daily life. C. its penetrating sight. D. its fantastical enthusiasm. 32.The word “vilified” (Line 4, Paragraph 2)most probably means _____. A. tortured B. harassed C. scolded D. tormented 33．According to the third paragraph, Hughes’s collection of letters are _____ A. the exact reason responsible for both his fame and notoriety. B. personalized description of his double identity as a public and a private figure. C. reflections of his struggle between his literary devotion and the reality. D. his meditation and exploration on the literary world and the essence of literature. 34.From the letters, we may find the cause of Hughes’s internal struggle is _____ A.his eager and unsatisfied passion for literature. B.that he is a part-private, part-public creature. C.that he is constrained by the fear of his privacy being exposed to the criticism of the public.

D.the moral torment exerted by himself. 35.By “lucky readers” in the last sentence, the author means_____ A.children who are imparted with the beauty and wisdom of poetry. B.children who have a headfull of fantastic and verbally perfect songs. C.children who own blocks of refined and achieved and exemplary language. D.children who are believed to have the guardian angel installed behind the tongue. Passage 2 Everyone is interested in whether different foods or nutrients affect our odds of getting diseases like cancer or of developing risk factors for those diseases, such as too much weight or high blood pressure. But there are many barriers to studying dietary change, which is why we still have no easy answers to the question of what, exactly, we should eat to be at our healthiest. It's also why you can be forgiven for often feeling whipsawed by headlines: Is coffee good or bad? What about alcohol, garlic, or chocolate? This week researchers reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association that breast cancer survivors who cram their diets with fruits and vegetables are no more likely to escape a recurrence than women who stick to the usual five-a-day recommendation. Does that mean fruits and vegetables don't protect against cancer? No—just that in this specific group of women with breast cancer, the extra greens and additional apples didn't seem to help. We asked researchers to explain why studies involving dietary changes are so hard to do—and what consumers should keep in mind when they read about them. Here's what the experts said: Most diet studies take place in the real world. That means study subjects are keeping diaries of what they eat as they go rather than having their intake strictly controlled by someone else. You can give them meal advice, counseling, and how-to books up to their ears, but at the end of the day, they are on their own when it comes to what they put in their mouths. It's easier to get people to add something —like garlic, in the form of tasty sandwich spreads, or dark chocolate—than to take something away; no wonder a recent study comparing low-fat and low-carb diet plans found that almost no one was sticking to them by the end. In studies focusing on diet, including the recent study on breast cancer recurrence, the amount of calories subjects reported eating would have caused them to lose far more weight than they actually did lose. The misreporting isn't necessarily vicious, but the inaccuracies add up. Say you're phoned about your daily intake on a day

when it was someone's birthday at work and you had a slice of cake. You may not report it, thinking that a typical day wouldn't include the cake...forgetting yesterday's "special occasion" piece of pizza, and the Big Gulp of the day before. Or, despite the portion size guides you get, you characterize your bagel from the deli as a 4-ounce standard serving when a 4-ounce bagel hasn't been sighted in any major city for a decade. "You can't put a camera in everyone's belly and see exactly what they ate," says Christopher Gardner, a nutrition scientist at the Stanford Prevention Research Center who has recently published research on garlic and diet plans. You can get around this in some studies by taking objective measurements. Weight, for example, or if you're assessing intake of fruits and veggies, you can measure the level of pigments called carotenoids in the blood. In the breast cancer study, blood tests showed that the study subjects actually did eat more fruits and veggies (carotenoid concentration was 73 percent higher in those women after one year and 43 percent higher after four years). But objective measures can't definitively nail down whether someone is eating nutrients in certain proportions. 36.One can be forgiven for feeling whipsawed by feeling whipsawed by those headlines because_____ A.there is no solid and convincing scientific hypothesis on these subjects. B.they question about what the healthiest food is has no answers. C.opinions on these subjects are quite contradictory. D.there is no authoritative answer to these questions. 37.Which one of the following statements is TURE of the conclusion of the study on breast cancer recurrence ? A. Women who stick to the five-a-day recommendation are less likely to have a recurrence. B. Women who eat extra greens and vegetables are less likely to escape a recurrence. C. Women could not depend on fruit diet to avoid the breast cancer recurrence. D. Fruits and vegetables are no good to women with breast cancer. 38.From the results of the studies focusing on diet, it can be inferred that_____ A. the amount of calories set in diet could not help people to lose weight.
