第二部分：阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)

第一节：(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

A

Birds enjoy a relatively slow rate of extinction but a new study suggests that rate might be severely underestimated(低估). Even worse, if human actions continue, bird extinction rates couldskyrocket?and 12 percent of the known bird species(物种) could be dying out by the end of the century.

Presently there are 10,000 known bird species — most identified after 1850 — and an estimated 130 of those have become extinct since 1500, setting the extinction rate at about one species every four years.

But according to Stuart Pimm of Duke University, this rate fails to take into account three key points: The continual identification of extinct bird species from fossil remains; numerous "missing" species not yet declared extinct; and the fact that present extinction rates were not calculated using the proper baseline date for when the species was first described.

Taking these points into consideration, the extinction rate is closer to one bird species per year, says Pimm, the leading author of the study. And the rate could be three times as high as that if not for recent bird preservation efforts.

In previous centuries, bird extinctions took place mainly on islands as Polynesian peoples expanded into the Pacific or Europeans took over the Americas, wiping out birds along the way.

In recent years, scientists are seeing an increased number of extinctions on continents, again because of human activities. Habitat destruction, introduction of invasive species, and climate change combine to harm many bird species. Before human influence, the estimated rate of bird extinctions would have been only one species per hundred years, researchers estimate.

Bird extinction rates are slower than for most animals, mainly because humans do more harm to other species and people take special efforts to protect birds. Still, if the present trends continue, the researchers estimate that the bird extinction rate will continue to climb to as many as 10 species per year,

?21. The underlined word "skyrocket" in the first paragraph means_________.

A. fly high?????????????????????????? ? B. appear soon

C. increase quickly??????????????????? D. change regularly

?22. According to Pimm, the extinction rate of birds is____________.

A. one species per hundred years

B. one species every year

C. three species per year

D. ten species every year

23. What can we infer from the fifth and sixth paragraphs?

A. Humans have started destroying bird habitat in recent years.

B. Humans are doing more harm to animals than to birds.

C. Humans have made no effort to protect birds.

D. Humans are responsible for the bird extinctions.

24. What might be the best title for the passage?

A. Humans' Fighting against Bird Extinction

B. Humans' Responsibilities for Bird Protection

C. Bird Extinction Rates Far Worse Than Realized

D. Bird Extinction Occurring on Islands and Continents

Shundagarh is a village on India’s east-facing coast. It is a village of simple mud and grass houses built on the beach just above the waterline. The Khadra Hills rise immediately behind the village, to a height of one hundred and fifty meters. A simple, good-hearted old man, whose name was Jalpur, farmed two small fields on the very edge of these hills. From his fields he could see the fishing boats that traveled up and down the coast. He could see the children playing on the sands; their mothers washing clothes on the flat stones where the Shiva River flowed into the sea; and their fathers landing the latest catch or repairing nets and telling stories that had no end.

The first living creatures to travel in space were the dogs of the Soviet Unions space program. Beginning in 1951 dogs flew aboard sub-orbital flights to the height of 63 miles and higher. They helped to test the equipment that would later be used by humans. The first pair of dogs to fly, on July 22. 1951, were named Tsygan and Dezik.

?? Space dogs would make history on November 3rd?1957. On this date, just one month after the historic launch of the world’s first artificial satellite, Sputnik, the Soviet Union shocked the world again by launching Sputnik 2. This satellite contained the first living creature to travel in spa
