Then one day, Andy and his sons walked around a big rock.They met some sheep face to face.But the sheep didn' t run ! "Now I know why the sheep run away," Andy said."They run because we come up behind them.From now on,—— we will stay where they can see us."
The next day, Andy saw some sheep fight out in the open.He and his sons walked toward them.The men did not try to hide, but they did walk slowly.They knew that any fast move will frighten them away.

參考譯文及答案解析
安迪住在洛基山的高處。他在山上捕獵野生動(dòng)物，也帶其他人打獵。那是他的工作。
一天，一封信給安迪帶來(lái)了一份新的工作。這個(gè)工作不但改變了他對(duì)動(dòng)物的看法，也改變了他的狩獵方式。信中寫(xiě)道：“我想寫(xiě)一篇關(guān)于大角羊的故事。我需要為故事配上圖片。請(qǐng)問(wèn)你可以為我拍攝大角羊的照片嗎?”
安迪的兩個(gè)兒子希望父親接受這份工作。“我們會(huì)幫助你的!”他們說(shuō)。大角羊野性很強(qiáng)。安迪知道給大角羊拍攝照片會(huì)很困難。“但是為什么不試試呢?”他的兒子們說(shuō)。
幾天來(lái)。安迪和他的兒子們努力嘗試拍攝大角羊的照片。他們不希望被大角羊發(fā)現(xiàn)，所以他們走路很輕。他們躲在巖石的后面，但是大角羊總會(huì)逃掉。
然而有一天，安迪和他的兒子們走到一塊大巖石附近。他們和幾只大角羊撞個(gè)正著。但是這些羊并沒(méi)有逃跑!“現(xiàn)在我知道那些羊?yàn)槭裁磁艿袅耍?rdquo;安迪說(shuō)，“它們逃跑是因?yàn)槲覀兦那牡馗谒鼈兒竺�。從現(xiàn)在開(kāi)始。我們就待在它們能看見(jiàn)我們的地方。”
第二天，安迪看見(jiàn)羊群就站在開(kāi)闊處。他和他的兒子們朝羊群走過(guò)去。他們沒(méi)有試著躲藏，但是走得非常慢。他們知道只要稍微走快一點(diǎn)都會(huì)嚇跑羊群。
“不要直視那些羊，”安迪說(shuō)，“野生動(dòng)物不喜歡被盯著看。他們會(huì)逃跑的。”他們朝這邊看看朝那邊瞅瞅，越來(lái)越接近羊群。一會(huì)兒，他們就走到足夠給羊群拍攝清晰照片的位置了。他們跟這些野生羊群成了朋友，還幫那位作家拍攝了很多精彩的照片。從那時(shí)起，他們?cè)僖矝](méi)有捕獵過(guò)大角羊。
21.D【精析l細(xì)節(jié)題。題干意為“安迪得到了一份什么新工作?”文章第二段最后“The letter said：‘l want to write a story about bighorn sheep.1 need pictures to go with my story.Will you get pictures of the sheep for me?”提到，安迪收到了一封信，信中作家請(qǐng)求他幫忙拍攝大角羊的照片。文章的最后一段也提到他們幫作家拍攝了很多照片。故D正確。
22.B【精析】細(xì)節(jié)題。題干意為“接近大角羊最好的方法是什么?”根據(jù)第七段第一句安迪的口述“Don’t look fight at the sheep，”可知。不能直視羊群，所以排除A。第六段最后一句“They knew that any fast move will frighten them away.”說(shuō)明走路速度過(guò)快也會(huì)嚇跑羊群，更不用說(shuō)跑了，所以排除c。第四段最后一句“They hid behind rocks，but the sheep always fan away.”說(shuō)明跟在羊群后面，羊群也會(huì)逃跑，故排除D。結(jié)合第五段及第六段內(nèi)
容可知，慢慢地從正面接近大角羊是正確的方式，故B正確。
23.D【精析】歸納題。題干意為“安迪從這份新工作中收獲了什么?”文章第一段中提及這份工作帶給安迪的變化，最后一段也說(shuō)明他們和大角羊成了朋友，安迪通過(guò)這份工作對(duì)大角羊有了更多的了解。A、B、C三項(xiàng)在文中都沒(méi)有體現(xiàn)，故D正確。

Everywhere in the world, plants and animals live together.Some animals eat plants they live with, Some plants stay alive because many plant-eating animals have natural enemies that eat them.
Rich soil for the roots of plants is produced by worms and other very small animals that live underground.Green plants feed animals and people.
It takes all the plants and animals living together to keep the earth a good place to live in.
Plants and animals trade with each other.They trade for things they both need to stay alive.
Animals breathe and the air gets changed inside their bodies.When they breathe the air out again there' s something called carbon((碳) in it.Animals can' t use this air again.But plants need carbon.The plants trade fresh air for the carbon they need.
Plants make food from carbon and water.They use sunlight for this work, just as a machine uses gas or electricity to keep running.The plants store the food they make inside themselves.
But what do the plants get in return? Many things.Plants make food from the carbon and other things that come from animals' bodies.Insects like bees carry pollen(花粉) from one flower to another and the pollen forms seeds.Birds and other animals eat the fruit in which seeds grow and often drop the seeds where they can grow up into new plants.So animals help the growth of new prants.

參考譯文及答案解析
在世界的每個(gè)地方，動(dòng)植物都是生活在一起的。有些動(dòng)物以吃植物為生。一些植物得以存活是因?yàn)槭巢輨?dòng)物會(huì)被其他天敵動(dòng)物捕食。植物根部所需的肥沃土壤得益于蠕蟲(chóng)和其他生存于地下的非常微小的動(dòng)物。綠植哺育著動(dòng)物以及人類(lèi)。
動(dòng)植物的共存使得地球成為適宜居住的好地方。動(dòng)植物之間互相給養(yǎng)。他們互相交換所需物品以維持生存。
動(dòng)物呼吸空氣，并在體內(nèi)產(chǎn)生變化。當(dāng)它們呼出氣體時(shí)，其中包含一種被稱(chēng)為“碳”的物質(zhì)。動(dòng)物不能再用它們呼出的氣體。但是，植物需要碳?xì)怏w。植物吸入它們生長(zhǎng)所需要的碳?xì)怏w，呼出新鮮空氣。植物通過(guò)碳和水生成食物。它們利用陽(yáng)光完成這項(xiàng)工作，就如同機(jī)器借助汽油或電力維持運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)。植物將生成的食物儲(chǔ)存于它們的體內(nèi)。但是，植物可以獲得怎樣的回報(bào)呢?很多的回報(bào)。植物從動(dòng)物產(chǎn)生的碳和其他物質(zhì)中生成食物，像蜜蜂這樣的昆蟲(chóng)，它們將花粉從一朵花傳到另一朵花，而這個(gè)花粉可以形成種子。鳥(niǎo)類(lèi)和其他動(dòng)物在種子生長(zhǎng)出的地方吃到果實(shí)，又將種子帶到可以讓它們生長(zhǎng)的地方。所以說(shuō)，動(dòng)物幫助了植物的再生。
24.B【精析】推斷題。題干意為“下面哪個(gè)選項(xiàng)與第二段中的詞組‘trade wim’意思最為接近?”由第二段最后一句“They trade forthings they both need to stay alive.”可知，他們互相交換所需物品以維持生存。故可以推斷出劃線部分的含義應(yīng)該是互相交換的意思。故B正確。
25.A【精析】細(xì)節(jié)題。題干意為“與第四段中的‘電力’作對(duì)比的是什么?”由第四段第二句話中的“They use sunlight for this work…”可知，它們利用陽(yáng)光完成這項(xiàng)工作，由此可以看出“電力”是用來(lái)和“陽(yáng)光”作對(duì)比的，故A正確。
26.A【精析】歸納題。題干意為“文章的中心思想是什么?”全文基本可以分成兩個(gè)部分。第一部分說(shuō)明一些動(dòng)物靠食草為生，植物為動(dòng)物提供了生存養(yǎng)料。第二部分說(shuō)明植物也可以借助動(dòng)物獲取一定的'生存養(yǎng)料。所以兩者是相輔相成的。故A正確。

It is reported that bags are getting bigger all the time, and that there are more bags per person on the street today than at any other time in history.If this is true, possible explanations could include the wide use of small electric and electronic gadgets(裝置), a reading-material explosion, a popular interest toward tight or pocketless clothing, or cheap bagmaking labor overseas.
But, much as nature finds ways--such as disease--to control overpopulation, city life has thrown up impediments(障礙) to bags.to enter many public buildings, theatres, ballparks, and perhaps even underground railway stations, you must go through a search or go bagless.The city has countless bag rules.It is hard to keep them all straight, and you're never sure, when leaving home for the day, whether it might be a bad idea to bring one along.
Last week, the New York Public Library got in the game.Students, researchers, writers, historians, and anyone else who has got used over the years to treating the vast Rose Main Reading Room as an office or a reading room came up against a new rule.You are no longer allowed to bring a bag larger than eleven inches by fourteen inches into the library.If you walk in with one, you must leave it at the coat check.You may keep its contents with you, however, and the library provides big clear plastic bags for them.You return them when you come back for your own bag.
What the library is trying to prevent, in this case, is people taking things out, rather than bringing things in.A librarian said on the second day, "It' s a big change for people who used come and bring in half their flats.The people who use the library responsibly will continue to do so.The people who steal will continue to get away with it, if they really want to.
27.What does the writer mainly talk about?
A.The history of the bag rules.
B.The importance of using libraries.
C.Different bags used in our daily life.
D.The use of bags and the rules against it.
28.The bag rules in many public buildings require people to
A.leave the places bagless
B.pay for bringing in bags
C.have their bags examined
D.use big clear plastic bags
29.What is the purpose of the new rule at the New York Public Library?
A.to change people' s way of reading.
B.to help people better use the library.
C.to prevent people stealing from the library.
D.to stop people from bringing in dangerous things.
30.How is the effect of the new rule according to the librarian?
A.Excellent.
B.Limited.
C.Harmful.
D.Unclear.
參考譯文及答案解析
據(jù)報(bào)道，包一直在增大，而且現(xiàn)今在街上人們手中包的數(shù)量比歷史上任何時(shí)候都要多。如果屬實(shí)的話，可以將原因歸結(jié)為廣泛使用的電器類(lèi)或電子類(lèi)產(chǎn)品，大量的閱讀材料，以及緊身衣或是沒(méi)有口袋的服裝的流行，又或者是由于海外低成本的包袋制造勞動(dòng)力。
但是，如同大自然利用疾病來(lái)控制過(guò)量人口一樣，城市化的生活為包的使用設(shè)置了很多障礙。攜帶包進(jìn)入很多公共場(chǎng)所，諸如劇院、球場(chǎng)，或許還有地鐵站時(shí)都需要通過(guò)檢查或選擇不帶包進(jìn)入。城市里有數(shù)不盡的包的使用規(guī)則。想要一直帶著包很困難，而且出門(mén)之前你永遠(yuǎn)不能確定只帶一個(gè)包會(huì)不會(huì)是個(gè)糟糕的主意。
上個(gè)星期，紐約市圖書(shū)館也實(shí)行了相關(guān)規(guī)定。學(xué)生、研究者、作家、史學(xué)家以及其他那些習(xí)慣于將玫瑰主閱覽室當(dāng)作辦公室或者普通閱覽室使用并且使用了很多年的讀者們?cè)庥龅搅诵乱?guī)定。新規(guī)規(guī)定不允許讀者攜帶超過(guò)l4英寸長(zhǎng)、11英寸寬的包進(jìn)入圖書(shū)館。如果攜帶有超過(guò)
此尺寸的包，請(qǐng)放置于衣帽間。但是請(qǐng)隨身攜帶包內(nèi)私人物品，圖書(shū)館可以提供大號(hào)的透明塑料袋用于放置物品。請(qǐng)讀者于離開(kāi)時(shí)取回自己的包并同時(shí)歸還塑料袋。
這種情況更多的是為了預(yù)防有人將圖書(shū)資料帶離圖書(shū)館，而不是擔(dān)心他們帶進(jìn)的物品。新規(guī)實(shí)施的第二天，一位圖書(shū)館管理人員表示，“對(duì)于那些習(xí)慣于隨身攜帶很多物品的人來(lái)說(shuō)，這是個(gè)很大的變化。負(fù)責(zé)任的讀者將會(huì)支持這一規(guī)定，然而此規(guī)定并不能有效制止那些偷書(shū)者。”
27.D【精析】主旨題。題干意為“作者主要講述的是什么?”全文述說(shuō)了包袋使用的現(xiàn)狀，接著又說(shuō)明在城市中存在很多不允許攜帶包袋的地方或場(chǎng)合D項(xiàng)符合題意。文中其他三項(xiàng)在文中均沒(méi)有體現(xiàn)，故D正確。
28.C【精析】細(xì)節(jié)題。題于意為“在許多公共場(chǎng)所，包的使用規(guī)則要求人們。”由文章第二段第二句“to enter many public
buildings，theatres，ballparks，and perhaps even underground railway stations.You must go through a search of go bagless.”可知，
想要進(jìn)入一些公共場(chǎng)所要么不帶包，如果帶了包都要接受檢查。故C正確。
29.C【精析】細(xì)節(jié)題。題于意為“紐約市圖書(shū)館實(shí)施新規(guī)則的目的是什么?”由文章最后一段第一句“What the library is trying to prevent，in this case，is people taking things out，rather than bringing things in.”可知，圖書(shū)管新規(guī)的目的是為了防止個(gè)別人未經(jīng)允許帶出圖書(shū)資料。故C正確。
30.B【精析】細(xì)節(jié)題。題于意為“圖書(shū)館理員認(rèn)為新規(guī)則的效果如何?”由最后一段最后一句中的“The people who steal will confinue to get away with it，if they really want to.”可知，圖書(shū)管理人員認(rèn)為新規(guī)對(duì)于不同的人有不同的影響，但是那些真心想偷取圖書(shū)資料的人不會(huì)受到太多的制約，所以新規(guī)的作用是有限的。故B正確。
