[xx·惠州调研]Humans have been keeping animals as pets for tens of thousands of years, but Dr Jean－Loup Rault, an animal scientist at the University of Melbourne in Australia, believes new panions are ing: robot pets.

“Technology is moving very fast，” Rault told ABC News, “The Tamagotchi in the early 1990s was really the first robotic pet, and now Sony and other big panies have improved them a lot.”

This may not sit_well_with pet lovers. After all, who would choose a plastic toy over a lovely puppy? But Rault argues that the robotic kind has a lot going for it：“You don't have to feed it, you don't have to walk it, it won't make a mess in your house, and you can go on a holiday without feeling guilty.” The technology also benefits those who are allergic to pets, short on space, or fearful of real animals.

It's not clear whether robot pets can replace real ones. But studies do suggest that we can bond with these smart machines. People give their cars names and kids give their toy animals life stories. It's the same with robots. When Sony stopped its repair service for its robot dog Aibo in March xx, owners in Japan held funerals.

As an animal welfare researcher, Rault is concerned about how robotic pets could affect our attitudes towards live animals. “If we bee used to a robotic panion that doesn't need food, water or exercises, perhaps it will change how humans care about other living beings，” he said.

So are dogs and cats a thing of the past, as Rault predicts? For those who grew up with living and breathing pets, the mechanical kind might not do. But for our next generation who are in constant touch with smart technology, a future in which lovely pets needn't have a heartbeat might not be a far－fetched dream.

[xx·沈阳二中模拟]If you live in an earthquake­prone area, it's wise to prepare your family well in advance for the next “Big One”. It's always important to make sure to prepare for earthquakes. Earthquakes are more mon than some people realize, and though they rarely end up causing damage, it's important to have your family prepared for an earthquake hit.

Put together an emergency kit that includes food and water to last a week, a fire extinguisher, portable radio, batteries, flashlight, and first­aid supplies.

Note all safe spots in each room, such as doorways or under sturdy tables and desks. Know the dangerous spots, such as fireplaces, windows, mirrors and hanging objects. Point out safety exits and keep those areas clear.

Make sure your family knows where emergency supplies are located. Check to be sure that everyone knows where and how to turn off electrical, gas, and water main valve and switches. Make sure that all family members know how to turn off the gas, water, and electricity in case there is damage after the earthquake that needs to be taken care of. It may prove useful to take your digital camera and make a “How to Guide”， customized to your home, for these things which can be stored in the kit.

Establish how and where your family will reunite if separated during the quake. Arrange a place for the family to meet, if you cannot return to your home after the earthquake. If you have a relative outside of your area, arrange ahead of time to use his/her phone number as a contact point. Remember that phone lines will be needed for emergencies, so delay getting on the phone immediately after the earthquake.

Conduct earthquake drills with your family every six months.

Warnings and tips：

Warm clothing and extra sleeping bags e in handy. Games, toys, and books help keep young ones forted and entertained. Keep what you can pack with your emergency kit.

Turning on light switches or lighting candles can start leaking gas—choose flashlights instead.

Ⅱ.七选五(建议用时10′)

根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

[xx·保定摸底]Winter begins in the north on December 22nd. People and animals have been doing what they always do to prepare for the colder months. Squirrels, for example, have been busy gathering nuts from trees. __1__

They examined differences between red squirrels and gray squirrels in the American state of Indiana. The scientists wanted to know how these differences could affect the growth of black walnut (黑胡桃) trees. __2__ The black walnut tree is also a central part of some hardwood forests.

Rob Swihart of Purdue University did the study with Jake Goheen, a former Purdue student now at the University of New Mexico. The two researchers estimate that several times as many walnuts grow when gathered by gray squirrels as pared to red squirrels. Gray squirrels and red squirrels do not store nuts and seeds in the same way. Gray squirrels bury nuts one at a time in a number of places. __3__ So some nuts remain in the ground. Conditions are right for them to develop and grow the following spring. Red squirrels, however, store large groups of nuts above ground. Professor Swihart calls “death traps for seeds”．

__4__ But Professor Swihart says their numbers began to decrease as more forests were cut for agriculture. Red squirrels began to spread through the state during the past century. The researchers say red squirrels are native to forests that stay green all year, unlike walnut trees. They say the cleaning of forest land for agriculture has helped red squirrels invade (涌入) Indiana. __5__

A．Gray squirrels are native to Indiana.

B．But they seldom remember where they buried every nut.

C．Red squirrels bury nuts in a different way.

D．The black walnut is the nut of choice for both kinds of squirrels.

E．Jake Goheen calls them a sign of an environmental problem more than a cause.

F．Scientists are worried that they will drive away the gray squirrels.

G．Well, scientists have been busy gathering information about what the squirrels do with the food they collect.

篇章导读：本文为说明文，主要讲述了红松鼠和灰松鼠的生活习性以及它们的生活方式给环境带来的影响。

1．G　根据下段第一句“They examined differences between red squirrels and gray squirrels in the American state of Indiana.”可知，该项中的scientists为关键信息。

2．D　根据空格后“The black walnut tree is also a central part of some...”中的also可知，空格前在讲the black walnut tree。

3．B　根据下文中“So some nuts remain in the ground.”可知，该空与下文为因果关系。故选B项。

4．A　根据下文讲述的内容可知，此处应为主题句，并且与下句为转折关系，文中are native to为关键点。

5．E　该选项中的them代指上文的red squirrels，且E项与上文均涉及环境主题。故选E。

[标准范文]

Dear_Bob，

Last_Saturday_I_took_part_in_an_activity,_which was well organized by our school. Its purpose is to learn about the basic conditions of stay­at­home children and give them our love.

On arriving there, we took out the gifts and handed them out, making the children delighted. After that, we joined them in a series of activities, such as playing games, telling funny stories and chatting. We did what we could to get along well with them. Not until four o'clock did we leave the lovely children.

Honestly speaking, I have benefited a lot from this experience. I think we should cherish the study opportunity and the time we spend with our parents. Besides, we should also think more of others and care more for others.

Yours，

[xx·河北枣强中学检测]Even if trees cannot walk, they are still on the move.

In parts of the Arctic, entire forests are moving northward. Across the Arctic, temperatures are rising faster than anywhere else in the world. As that happens, the tree line that marks where forests stop and the treeless tundra (冻原) starts has been moving northward. Trees growing along the tree line must protect themselves from the cold wind. To do this,_plants tend to grow horizontal (水平的) branches low to the ground. The energy it takes for trees to grow this way means they don't have enough energy to make seeds.

But as Earth's climate has been warming, trees no longer have to just grow horizontally. Many can instead grow up toward the sky. This takes less energy. This happens especially in places where white spruce (白云杉) grows. White spruce, which is a North American tree, is quite able to produce a lot of seeds, which can move long distances in the wind. When wind­blown seeds end up on the tundra beyond the tree line, they finally sprout (发芽) new trees. This explains how a forest can move. Of course, the process would work only if the tundra were warm enough. But in recent years, the whole planet has been warming.

New trees will provide shelter for some snow. Keeping the sun's rays from making the white surface disappear. Instead, the trees absorb the sun's heat. This warms the air around. The extra warmth encourages even more trees to produce seeds. That further increases a forest's ability to expand. What's more, more trees will trap more snow, preventing much of it from being blown away. Snow can trap heat in the soil below, which encourages trees to grow. The recent rise of temperatures has helped more trees grow past the tree line. People worry about effects on the animals that depend on frozen conditions for food and shelter.

篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文，文中讲述的是即使树不能走路，它们仍然在移动。文章介绍了树移动的原因，以及全球变暖对树木的影响。

1．What is the main cause of the trees in the Arctic moving northward?

A．The reducing of northern tundra.

B．The rising temperature.

C．The cold and strong wind.

D．The rich resources in the north.

答案：B　细节理解题。根据第二段第二、三句“Across the Arctic, temperatures are rising faster than anywhere else in the world. As that happens, the tree line that marks where forests stop and the treeless tundra (冻原) starts has been moving northward.”(在北极地区，温度比世界上任何地方都要上升得快。当这一切发生时，标志着森林结束和寸木不生的冻原开始的树线就一直向北移动。)可知，在北极树木向北移动的主要原因是温度升高。故选B。

2．What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A．To produce more seeds.

B．To move northward.

C．To respond to the climate change.

D．To protect themselves from the cold wind.

答案：D　词义猜测题。根据第二段第四句“Trees growing along the tree line must protect themselves from the cold wind.”可知，沿着树线生长的树木必须保护自己免受寒风的袭击。由此可知，此处this指的是保护它们免受寒风的袭击。故选D。

3．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A．New trees can trap the snow, which may make the soil colder.

B．The trapped snow prevents new trees from producing more seeds.

C．New trees can make the air around warmer.

D．New trees can bring more food and shelter to local animals.

答案：C　推理判断题。根据第四段第一句“New trees will provide shelter for some snow.”(新的树木将为一些雪提供庇护。)和第三、四句“Instead, the trees absorb(吸收) the sun's heat. This warms the air around.”(相反，树木吸收太阳的热量，这温暖了周围的空气。)可知，新的树木可以使周围的空气更温暖。故选C。

1．seed n. 种子 2.distance n. 距离

3．shelter n．/vt. 庇护所；躲避；避难

4．trap vt./n. 使陷入困境；陷阱

5．frozen adj. 冷冻的；结冰的

1．end up 最终来到；最后处于 2.blow away 吹走；吹跑

B

[xx·江苏高考]El Niño, a Spanish term for “the Christ child”， was named by South American fishermen who noticed that the global weather pattern, which happens every two to seven years, reduced the amount of fishes caught around Christmas. El Niño sees warm water, collected over several years in the western Pacific, flow back eastwards when winds that normally blow westwards weaken, or sometimes the other way round.

The weather effects, both good and bad, are felt in many places. Rich countries gain more from powerful Niños, on balance, than they lose. A study found that a strong Niño in 1997­98 helped America's economy grow by $15 billion, partly because of better agricultural harvests: farmers in the Midwest gained from extra rain. The total rise in agricultural ines in rich countries is greater than the fall in poor ones.

But in Indonesia extremely dry forests are in flames. A multi­year drought (干旱) in south­east Brazil is being worse. Though heavy rains brought about by El Niño may relieve the drought in California, they are likely to cause surface flooding and other disasters.

The most recent powerful Niño, in 1997­98, killed around 21,000 people and caused damage worth $36 billion around the globe. But such Niños e with months of warning, and so much is known about how they happen that governments can prepare. According to the Overseas Development Institute (ODI), however, just 12% of disaster­relief funding in the past two decades has gone on reducing risks in advance, rather than recovery and rebuilding afterwards. This is despite evidence that a dollar spent on risk­reduction saves at least two on reconstruction.

Simple improvements to infrastructure (基础设施) can reduce the spread of disease. Better sewers (下水道) make it less likely that heavy rain is followed by an outbreak of the disease of bad stomach. Stronger bridges mean villages are less likely to be left without food and medicine after floods. According to a paper in 2011 by Mr Hsiang and co­authors, civil conflict is related to El Niño's harmful effects—and the poorer the country, the stronger the link. Though the relationship may not be causal， helping divided munities to prepare for disasters would at least reduce the risk that those disasters are followed by killing and wounding people. Since the poorest are least likely to make up for their losses from disasters linked to El Niño, reducing their losses needs to be the priority.

篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文，文中主要介绍了厄尔尼诺现象名称的由来、发生的时间、造成的影响，督促人们加强风险前资金的投入，改进基础设施，为厄尔尼诺现象的发生做好准备。

4．What can we learn about El Niño in Paragraph 1?

A．It is named after a South American fisherman.

B．It takes place almost every year all over the world.

C．It forces fishermen to stop catching fish around Christmas.

D．It sees the changes of water flow direction in the ocean.

答案：D　细节理解题。根据文章第一段第二句“El Niño sees warm water, collected over several years in the western Pacific, flow back eastwards when winds that normally blow westwards weaken, or sometimes the other way round.”可知，厄尔尼诺现象见证了大海中水流方向的变化。故选D。

5．What may El Niños bring about to the countries affected?

A．Agricultural harvests in rich countries fall.

B．Droughts bee more harmful than floods.

C．Rich countries' gains are greater than their losses.

D．Poor countries suffer less from droughts economically.

答案：C　细节理解题。根据文章第二段第二句“Rich countries gain more from powerful Niños, on balance, than they lose.”可知，总的来说富裕国家从强有力的厄尔尼诺现象中收获的比失去的多。故C项正确。

6．The data provided by ODI in Paragraph 4 suggest that ________.

A．more investment should go to risk reduction

B．governments of poor countries need more aid

C．victims of El Niño deserve more pensation

D．recovery and reconstruction should e first

答案：A　推理判断题。根据文章第四段第三句“According to... (ODI), however, just 12% of disaster­relief funding in the past two decades has gone on reducing risks in advance...”可知，在过去二十年里仅有12%的灾难救济资金用于提前降低风险，因此第四段旨在说明应该投入更多的资金来降低风险。

7．What is the author's purpose in writing the passage?

A．To introduce El Niño and its origin.

B．To explain the consequences of El Niño.

C．To show ways of fighting against El Niño.

D．To urge people to prepare for El Niño.

答案：D　推理判断题。综合全文内容并结合文章最后一段可知，本文旨在督促人们为厄尔尼诺现象做好准备。

1．term n. 术语；学期；条款 2.flame n. 火苗；火焰

3．reconstruction n. 重建；改造

4．causal adj. 因果关系的；有原因的

5．priority n. 优先事项；首要事情

1．the other way round 相反；反过来

2．bring about 导致；引起
