turtles,sharks,whales,dolphins,large fish,birds,corals,plants,and many other species.Many of these species are endangered elsewhere in the world,but still survive in the healthy environment of the Coral Sea.The Coral Sea is a large series of coral reefs located off the northeast coast of Australia.This area is three times larger than Australias famous Great Barrier Reef,which the Coral Sea borders.The Coral Sea is one of the few coral reef environments that have remained largely undamaged by overfishing,oil and gas exploration and pollution.However,statistics show that coral reefs around the world are disappearing five times faster than rainforests.It is very likely that in the near future the Coral Sea will face the same threats to its existence.The Australian government is currently looking at options for protecting the Coral Sea but has made no decisions.Environmentalists are pushing for laws to declare the Coral Sea area a marine protected area.This would mean a large “no-take zone” for fishermen,a no-exploration zone for gas and oil panies and a no-dump zone for pollution.This would make the Coral Sea a marine park larger than any in the world.We can write letters to Australian leaders,Australian environmental protection agencies,and Australian friends,to let them know that people worldwide support this protection of the Coral Sea.To lose this last great marine wildness would be a loss for the whole world.For more information,click here please.1.What is the authors purpose in writing this passage?A.To teach people how to protect the Coral Sea.B.To call for the public awareness to protect the Coral Sea.C.To show the amazing features of the Coral Sea.D.To explain the function of the Coral Sea.2.What is the most important reason for protecting the Coral Sea?A.The Coral Sea,home to many species,will disappear soon.B.The Coral Sea is rich in oil and gas.C.The Coral Sea is three times larger than Great Barrier Reef.D.The Coral Sea will be a marine park larger than any in the world.3.You can most probably read this passage .A.in a guidebookB.on a websiteC.in a science textbookD.on a TV show4.Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?A.The reason for protecting the Coral Sea.B.The way to protect the Coral Sea.C.The location of the Coral Sea.D.The money-raising for saving the Coral

thing about her daughter over the previous two or three years when Id been Alices middle school English，Latin，and writing teacher，and I have an answer，right there on the tip of my tongue，to what has gone wrong.Yet Im torn between my responsibility to help Alice and the knowledge that what I have to say is a truth Im not sure this mother is ready to hear.The truth for this parent and so many others is this：Her child has sacrificed her natural curiosity and love of learning at the altar(圣壇)of achievement，and its our fault.Alices parents，her teachers，society at largewe are all supposed to be blamed in this crime against learning.From her first day of school，we pointed her toward that altar and trained her to measure her progress by means of points，scores，and awards.We taught Alice that her potential is tied to her intellect(智力)，and that her intellect is more important than her character.We taught her to e home proudly bearing grade As，championship prizes，and college acceptance，and not on purpose，we taught her that we dont really care how she obtains them.We taught her to protect her academic and extracurricular perfection at all costs and that its better to quit when things get challenging rather than risk losing that perfect record.Above all else，we taught her to fear failure.That fear is what has destroyed her love of learning.1Both the mother and the author have noticed

intellect(智力)，and that her intellect is more important than her character.分析：這是一個復(fù)合句，含有兩個that引導(dǎo)的賓語從句。We是主語，taught是謂語，兩個that在從句中均不充當(dāng)成分。譯文：我們教給Alice的是她的潛力和她的智力是聯(lián)系在一起的，并且她的智力比她的性格更重要。1D考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的“but she just doesnt seem to love learning any more”和第二段中的“Id noticed the same thing about her daughter”可知，Alice的媽媽和作者都注意到Alice不再喜歡學(xué)習(xí)。A項和C項文中沒有提到；根據(jù)第一段中的“Her grades are fine”可知，B項錯誤。2A考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)畫線詞后的“between my responsibility.and the knowledge that what I have to say is a truth”可知，作者在兩者之間很難選擇。3D考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。 根據(jù)第三段中的“We taught her to protect her academic and extracurricular perfection at all costs”可知，Alice的學(xué)業(yè)表現(xiàn)很好。根據(jù)第三段的“We taught Alice that her potential is tied to her intellect(智力)，and that her intellect is more important than her character”可知A項錯誤；根據(jù)第三段倒數(shù)第三句中的“that its better to quit when things get challenging rather than risk losing that perfect record”可知B項錯誤；根據(jù)第三段的倒數(shù)第二句“Above all else，we taught her to fear failure”可知C項錯誤。4B考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“We taught her to protect.That fear is what has destroyed her love of learning”可知，害怕失敗毀掉了Alice對學(xué)習(xí)的熱愛。.完形填空Down syndrome is a medical condition that

3).【解題導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇說明文,介紹了位于澳大利亞東北海岸的珊瑚海,它面臨著即將消失的威脅。澳大利亞政府正在尋找方案,希望能保護這個偉大的野生海洋世界。1.B推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段可知,該文旨在提高公眾保護珊瑚海的意識。故選B項。2.A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段第一句及第三段的最后兩句“However,statistics show that coral reefs around the world are disappearing.It is very likely that in the near future the Coral Sea will face the same threats to its existence.”可知,擁有許多物種的珊瑚海正在消失,因此它需要保護。故選A項。3.B推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章最后一段“For more information,click here please.”可知,要獲得更多的信息,請點擊這里。因此可以在網(wǎng)上讀到該文。故選B項。4.D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。保護珊瑚海的原因、方案及珊瑚海的位置文中均有提及,但沒有提到為拯救珊瑚?；I集資金。故選D項。.【解題導(dǎo)語】本文是記敘文。雷諾茲是名公共汽車司機,他的善舉對一名患有唐氏綜合征的少年產(chǎn)生了巨大的影響。1.B根據(jù)下文內(nèi)容及倒數(shù)第三段中的Reynolds kindness可知,一個小小的“善舉(kindness)”能對一名患有唐氏綜合征的少年產(chǎn)生巨大的影響。2.A根據(jù)本句中的with a smile and a fist bump可知,每天早上雷諾茲以微笑和碰拳的方式“問候(greet)”泰。3.D根據(jù)本段內(nèi)容可知,雷諾茲是名司機,所以這里應(yīng)該是指他每天早晨“接(pick up)”泰。4.D根據(jù)下文中的Reynolds kindness,he meant a lot to their son等可知,雷諾茲對泰的問候讓他的每一天都以一種“積極的(positive)”方式開始。5.C“泰可以說出并表達他的基本需求”與“他不會像大多數(shù)人一樣進行典型的交談”之間為轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,故此處應(yīng)用but。6.A根據(jù)本句中的“.whether its a handshake or a fist bump.”可知,泰感知人們是如何“對待(treat)”他的。7.B參照第8題解析。8.C根據(jù)本段內(nèi)容可知,“盡管(despite)”很多人都有好意,但是他們不知道如何接觸有“殘疾(disabilities)”的人。下段中的disabilities及disability提示了答案。9.C上段內(nèi)容就是邁克爾和妻子送泰到Holy Childhood的原因。10.B根據(jù)下句中的the school可知,Holy Childhood是所“學(xué)校(school)”。11.A根據(jù)本空后的confident及下一段中的do things on his own可知,這所學(xué)校教泰“獨立(independent)”和自信。12.B根據(jù)上段中的the school has taught his son 可知,這里應(yīng)該是指泰“學(xué)會了(learn)”獨立做事情。13.C這里指對泰而言,雷諾茲微笑和碰拳的“舉動(actions)”勝過千言萬語。14.D根據(jù)下一句內(nèi)容可知,雷諾茲的善舉不僅僅“到此為止(end)”,他還和泰談?wù)撍纳詈图彝ァ?5.A見下題解析。16.D當(dāng)Coppola一家人“知道(inform)”雷諾茲計劃退休時,邁克爾和妻子決定做些事情來“告訴(show)”雷諾茲他對他們兒子的重要性。17.C根據(jù)本段內(nèi)容不難看出,這個聚會是為雷諾茲舉行的。in sb.s honour意為“出于對某人的敬意”,符合此處語境。18.B根據(jù)第二段中的bus driver Scott Reynolds可知,雷諾茲是名司機,所以人們應(yīng)該是對他多年的“服務(wù)(service)”表示敬意。19.A根據(jù)上文內(nèi)容可知,雷諾茲的所作所為對泰影響很大,所以邁克爾應(yīng)該是想表達“感激之情(thankfulness)”。20.D根據(jù)第二段中的bus driver Scott Reynolds可知,雷諾茲雖然是名公共汽車司機,但是他所做的事已遠遠超過了職責(zé),所以邁克爾認(rèn)為他不僅僅是名“公共汽車司機(bus driver)”。.短文改錯To be pletely honestyhonest,I was not looking forward to my vacation a littlefew weeks ago.I havent been on a
