Part II Reading Comprehension ( 24 minutes )

Section A

Directions: In this section, there is a passage with several blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.

· The soaring number of gender-bending chemicals in the environment has disturbing fertility implications for humans and wildlife, scientists are warning. They say wild animals are being "feminized" by a host of common man-made 11 which mimic the female sex hormone oestrogen(雌激素)and escape into seas, rivers, the earth and air when waste is 12 of. The chemicals — found in food packaging, cleaning products, plastics, sewage and paint — cause genital deformities, reduce sperm count and even turn 13 into females. Dozens of species — including polar bears, fish, whales and otters — are suffering, according to the environmental group ChemTrust. Fish have been 14 hit by man-made gender-bending chemicals. In one study, half the male fish in British lowland rivers had signs of being 15 . But all vertebrates — or creatures with backbones — have 16 sex hormone receptors in their bodies.
"Therefore, observations in one species may serve to 17 pollution issues of concern for other vertebrates, including humans," the report says. Its author, Gywnne Lyons, a former government adviser on chemical-pollution, said: "Some 18 actions are needed to control gender-bending chemicals and more resources are needed for monitoring wildlife."
"If wildlife populations crash, it will be too late. Unless enough males contribute to the next generation there is a real 19 to animal populations in the long term." Some studies have shown that sperm counts in the West have fallen over the past 30 years. Others have shown a rise in boys born with genital deformities. Communities heavily polluted with hormone-disrupting chemicals in Russia, Canada and Italy have 20 twice as many girls as boys.
A) threat
B) urgent
C) different
D) disposed
E) feminized
F) insistent
G) pollutants
H) produced
I) males
J) waste
K) badly
L) reduced
M) similar
N) highlight
O) consistently

Section B

Directions: There are several 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.

· Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.

Ask children about their favorite animal and it is highly likely that at least one will respond enthusiastically with the name of a dinosaur. Despite the fact that they were extinct long before humans set foot on the Earth, these huge reptiles have captured our imaginations.
Many children collect models of the most various species and they are experts on their preferred habitat and favorite food. One of the most popular exhibits in London's Natural History Museum is the enormous Tyrannosaurus Rex, which never seems to lose its appeal, shrugging off stiff competition from hi-tech cyber versions.
Archaeologists (考古学家) continue to amaze us with their remarkable discoveries — the latest being a 66-million-year old fossil of a dinosaur heart. Such findings enable them to shed further light on these fascinating creatures.
The word "dinosaur" also has another definition: it can be used as an adjective to describe something unwieldy and outdated. It may not be too long before some of the animals we currently take for granted join the dinosaurs in extinction and our inheritors will be visiting museums rather than zoos in order to learn about them.
Eminent scientists are warning governments around the world that the current rate of extinction is 1,000 to 10,000 times above normal and that a quarter or more species are reaching the brink of disappearance. Giant pandas are amongst those under threat. Their rapidly decreasing number is partly due to the shrinking of their natural habitat and the difficulty of breeding them in captivity.
The world's largest living land mammal, the elephant, is another favorite which could become a rarity in years to come. Fortunately, a ban on ivory has been enforced over the past decade and astute former hunters recognize that there are profits to be gained from the eco-tourist trade. Nowadays, visitors to national parks prefer to see the tusks on a living creature as opposed to a souvenir trinket (小装饰品) on their shelves back home.
However, debates continue as to the effects of such tourism on wildlife. Our planet comprises a rich web of life. No organism can survive without affecting its environment; our lives are inextricably entwined (缠住) so that the quality of our respective lives depends on the behavior of those around us. Every so often we should stop and think of the consequences of our actions, however small they may seem at the time. Are we humans really the super intelligent beings we proclaim ourselves to be?

A) People lost their interest in dinosaurs because they were extinct long before humans appeared on the Earth. 该选项共0人选择
B) The non-stop archaeological discoveries enable us to get further information about dinosaurs. 该选项共6人选择

Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.

Beauty in nature has long been a common theme in life and in art, and books emphasizing beauty in nature fill large sections of libraries and bookstores. That nature has been depicted and celebrated by so much art, photography, poetry and other literature shows the strength with which many people associate nature and beauty. Why this association exists, and what the association consists of, are studied by the branch of philosophy called aesthetics. Beyond certain basic characteristics that many philosophers agree about to explain what is seen as beautiful, the opinions are virtually endless.
Looked at through the lens of the visual arts, nature and wildness have been important subjects in various epochs of world history. An early tradition of landscape art began in China during the Tang Dynasty. The tradition of representing nature as it is became one of the aims of Chinese painting and was a significant influence in Asian art. Artists learned to depict mountains and rivers "from the perspective of nature as a whole and on the basis of their understanding of the laws of nature ... as if seen through the eyes of a bird." In the 13th century, the Song Dynasty artist Shi Erji listed "scenes lacking any places made inaccessible by nature," as one of the 12 things to avoid in painting.
In the Western world the idea of wilderness having intrinsic value emerged in the 1800s, especially in the works of the Romantic movement. British artists John Constable and J.M.W. Turner turned their attention to capturing the beauty of the natural world in their paintings. Before that, paintings had been primarily of religious scenes or of human beings. William Wordsworth's poetry described the wonder of the natural world, which had formerly been viewed as a threatening place. Increasingly the valuing of nature became an aspect of Western culture.
Many scientists, who study nature in more specific and organized ways, also share the conviction that nature is beautiful; the French mathematician, Jules Henri Poincaré said: "The scientist does not study nature because it is useful; he studies it because he delights in it, and he delights in it because it is beautiful. If nature were not beautiful, it would not be worth knowing, and if nature were not worth knowing, life would not be worth living. Of course I do not here speak of that beauty which strikes the senses, the beauty of qualities and of appearance; not that I
