I watched the earth get smaller and smaller belw me. It all lked very far away, especially given that I was t jurney all the way back t the grund with a parachute (降落伞). I lked at the dr n the side f the aircraft and thught abut why I was there.
Tday shuld have been my granny’s 80th birthday. But she passed away frm cancer when she was 76. Milestne birthdays were a big deal fr my granny. She marked her 50th year by running her first marathn, her 60th year by learning t swim s she culd d her first triathln (铁人三项), and her 70th year by jumping ut f a plane. I knw she was afraid t jump ut f the plane that day, but she wanted t make that jump and met her fear with jy and determinatin, qualities that defined hw she lived thrugh everything — raising my father and my aunt, marathns, triathlns, cancer.
I started the day lking at her birthday phts, eagerly wndering what she wuld d fr tday. I wanted t transprt myself int the plane with her, ask her everything abut hw she was feeling and why she was there, and hear her answering every questin I regret never asking her. Actually, I miss her s much and always find it hard t decide what t d with the big days like her birthdays.
Feeling lst in my thughts, I went fr a run but nly made it a few blcks befre I was hit with an unstppable thught. “I shuld’ve gne skydiving tday.” It came ut f nwhere. But nce it was in my head, I culdn’t shake it. I pulled ut my phne and searched fr “skydiving Oregn”. I clicked n the first result and the first thing I saw was blue text n the bttm crner f the website — “Call fr same day appintments”. That is hw I fund myself high up at the back f a plane.
“Yu can always back ut,” my brther reminded me, when I called him n my way t the skydiving place. But I didn’t. Smething had kept me ging. I just kept seeing my granny, staring ut the plane windw, smiling wide. And I had been surprised that it wasn’t just fear I was feeling. As I tk ff, my smile was as wide as my granny’s.
The dr slid pen. Every nerve ending in my bdy flashed red. I didn’t back ut. I wanted t live the day as my granny wuld have — in a brave, whlehearted way. Tday, that meant jumping ut f a plane.
24. Hw did the writer’s granny celebrate her milestne birthdays?
A. By making exciting life plans.B. By enjying family gatherings.
C. By cnquering new challenges.D. By hsting sprts cmpetitins.
25. The writer decided t g skydiving when ______.
A. she was lking thrugh her granny’s phts
B. she was running arund the neighbrhd
C. she was searching fr infrmatin nline
D. she was making a call t her brther
26. Hw did the writer feel when she was n the plane?

C. Regretful but curius.D. Hesitant but inspired.
27. What can we learn frm the stry?
A. Hme is where the heart is.
B. Milestnes are the stepping stnes t success.
C. The greatest memrial is t pass smething n.
D. The nly limits t tmrrw are the dubts f tday.

Wh cares if peple think wrngly that the Internet has had mre imprtant influences than the washing machine? Why des it matter that peple are mre impressed by the mst recent changes?
It wuld nt matter if these misjudgments were just a matter f peple’s pinins. Hwever, they have real impacts, as they result in misguided use f scarce resurces.
The fascinatin with the ICT (Infrmatin and Cmmunicatin Technlgy) revlutin, represented by the Internet, has made sme rich cuntries wrngly cnclude that making things is s “yesterday” that they shuld try t live n ideas. This belief in “pst-industrial sciety” has led thse cuntries t neglect their manufacturing sectr (制造业) with negative cnsequences fr their ecnmies.
Even mre wrryingly, the fascinatin with the Internet by peple in rich cuntries has mved the internatinal cmmunity t wrry abut the “digital divide” between the rich cuntries and the pr cuntries. This has led cmpanies and individuals t dnate mney t develping cuntries t buy cmputer equipment and Internet facilities. The questin, hwever, is whether this is what the develping cuntries need the mst. Perhaps giving mney fr thse less fashinable things such as digging wells, extending electricity netwrks and making mre affrdable washing machines wuld have imprved peple’s lives mre than giving every child a laptp cmputer r setting up Internet centres in rural villages, I am nt saying that thse things are necessarily mre imprtant, but many dnatrs have rushed int fancy prgrammes withut carefully assessing the relative lng-term csts and benefits f alternative uses f their mney.
In yet anther example, a fascinatin with the new has led peple t believe that the recent changes in the technlgies f cmmunicatins and transprtatin are s revlutinary that nw we live in a” brderless wrld”. As a result, in the last twenty years r s, many peple have cme t believe that whatever change is happening tday is the result f great technlgical prgress, ging against which will be like trying t turn the clck back. Believing in such a wrld, many gvernments have put an end t sme f the very necessary regulatins n crss-brder flws f capital, labur and gds, with pr results.
Understanding technlgical trends is very imprtant fr crrectly designing ecnmic plicies, bth at the natinal and the internatinal levels, and fr making the right career chices at the individual level. Hwever, ur fascinatin with the latest, and ur under valuatin f what has already becme cmmn, can, and has, led us in all srts f wrng directins.
28. Misjudgments n the influences f new technlgy can lead t ______.
A a lack f cnfidence in technlgyB. a waste f limited resurces
C. a cnflict f public pininsD. a slw prgress in technlgy
29. The example in Paragraph 4 suggests that dnatrs shuld ______.
A. ensure that each child gets financial supprtB. make their prgrammes attractive t peple
C. take peple’s essential needs int accuntD. prvide mre affrdable internet facilities
30. What can we learn frm the passage?
A. Traditinal technlgy still has a place nwadays.
B. Peple shuld be encuraged t make mre dnatins.
C. Making right career chices is crucial t persnal success.
D. Ecnmic plicies shuld fllw technlgical trends.

Accrding t fficial gvernment figures, there are mre than twice as many kangars as peple in Australia, and many Australians cnsider them pests(有害动物). Landhlding farmers say that the cuntry’s estimated 50 millin kangars damage their crps and cmpete with livestck fr scarce resurces. Australia’s insurance industry says that kangars are invlved in mre than 80 percent f the 20,000-plus vehicle-animal cllisins reprted each year. In the cuntry’s underppulated regin, the cmmn belief is that kangar numbers have swllen t “plague prprtins.”
In the absence f traditinal hunters, the thinking ges, killing kangars is critical t balancing the eclgy and bsting the rural ecnmy. A gvernment-sanctined(政府认可的) industry, based n the cmmercial harvest f kangar meat and hides, exprted $29 millin in prducts in 2017 and supprts abut 4,000 jbs. Tday meat, hides, and leather frm kangars have been exprted t 56 cuntries. Glbal brands such as Nike, Puma, and Adidas buy strng, supple “k-leather” t make athletic gear. And kangar meat is finding its way int mre and mre grcery stres.
Advcates pint ut that lw-fat, high-prtein kangar meat cmes frm an animal mre envirnmentally friendly than greenhuse gas-emitting sheep and cattle. Jhn Kelly, frmer executive directr f the Kangar Industry Assciatin f Australia, says, “Harvesting ur fd and fibers frm animals adapted t Australia’s fragile rangelands is extremely wise and sustainable. Many eclgists will tell yu that there is n mre humane way f prducing red meat.”
Oppnents(反对者) f the industry call the killing inhumane, unsustainable, and unnecessary. Ppulatin estimates are highly debatable, they say, but “plague prprtins” are bilgically implausible. Little kangars grw slwly, and many die, s kangar ppulatins can expand by nly 10 t 15 percent a year, and then nly under the best f circumstances. Dwayne Bannn-Harrisn, a member f the Yuin peple f New Suth Wales, says the idea that kangars are destrying the cuntry is laughable. “They’ve been walking this land a lt lnger than peple have,” he says. “Hw culd smething that’s been here fr thusands f years be ‘destrying’ the cuntry? I dn’t understand the lgic in that.”
Can Australians’ cnflicting attitudes tward kangars be recnciled(和解)? Gerge Wilsn says that if kangars were privately wned, then graziers(放牧人)—wrking independently r thrugh wildlife cnservancies—wuld prtect the animals, treating them as pssessins. They culd feed them, lease them, breed them and charge hunter a fee fr access. “If yu want t cnserve smething,” Wilsn says, “yu have t give it a value. Animals that are cnsidered pests dn’t have value.”
Privatizatin culd als help reduce grazing pressures. If kangars were mre valuable than cattle r sheep, farmers wuld keep less live-stck, which culd be gd fr the envirnment. Under this scheme, landhlders wuld wrk with the kangar industry n branding, marketing and quality cntrl. The gvernment’s rle wuld be versight and regulatin.
31. What can be learnt frm the first three paragraphs?
A. Kangar meat is healthier than ther red meat.
B. Glbal brands make small prfits n kangars.
C. Kangars are mre friendly t the envirnment.
D. Overppulated kangars have becme a financial burden.
32. What des the underlined wrd “implausible” in Paragraph 4 prbably mean?
A. Unreasnable.B. Immeasurable.
C. Unquestinable.D. Unchangeable.
33. Which f the fllwing might be the benefit f privatizatin?
A. The ppularity f kangar hunting.
B. The reductin in the number f kangars.
C. The establishment f mre cnservatin areas.
D. The better management f the kangar industry.
34. The passage is written t ________.
A. argue against the killing f kangars
B. stress the imprtance f prtecting kangars
C. present different pinins n the kangar industry
D. prvide a slutin t the prblem caused by kangars

My, what a big beak yu have!
Fr humans, adapting t climate change will mstly be a matter f technlgy. Mre air cnditining, better-designed huses and bigger fld defenses may help t make the effects f a warmer wrld less harmful. ____35____ In a paper published in Trends & Evlutin, a team led by Sara Ryding, a PhD candidate at Deakin University, shws that is already happening. Climate change is already altering the bdies f many animal species, giving them bigger beaks (喙), legs and ears.
In sme species f Australian parrt, fr instance, beak size has increased by between 4% and 10% since 1871. Anther study, this time in Nrth American dark-eyed juncs, anther bird, fund the same pattern. ____36____
All that is perfectly cnsistent with evlutinary thery. “Allen’s rule”, named fr Jel Asaph Allen, wh suggested it in 1877, hlds that warm-blded animals in ht places tend t have larger bdy parts than thse in temperate (温带的) regins. ____37____ Being richly filled with bld vessels, and nt cvered by feathers, beaks make an ideal place fr birds t get rid f heat. Fennec fxes, meanwhile, which are native t the Sahara Desert, have strikingly large ears, especially cmpared with their Arctic cusins.
Ms. Ryding is nt the first researcher t take that apprach. But it is hard, when dealing with individual species, t prve that climate change was the cause f an anatmical (解剖学的) changes. All srts f ther factrs, frm changes in prey t the evlving reprductive preferences f males r females, might have been driving the changes. ____38____ The team cmbined data frm different species in different places. Since they have little in cmmn apart frm living n a warming planet, climate change is the mst reasnable explanatin.
____39____ That may change as warming accelerates. Since any evlutinary adaptatin cmes with trade-ffs (妥协), it is unclear hw far the prcess might g. Bigger beaks might make feeding harder, fr instance. Larger wings are heavier, and bigger legs cst mre energy t grw.
A. Hwever, lking at the bigger picture makes the pattern clearer.
B. Fr nw, at least, the increase is small, never much mre than 10%.
C. Animals will have t rely n changing their bdies r their behavirs.
D. It seems that the future wrld is ging t be htter than humans are used t.
E. Therefre, the negative effects f a warmer wrld are visible in these animals’ bdies.
F. Such adaptatins bst an animal’s surface area relative t its bdy, helping it t release extra heat.
G. Similar trends are seen in mammals, with species f mice and bats evlving bigger ears, legs and wings.

Crwd cntrl culd sn becme an imprtant skill fr climbers n Munt Everest as imprtant as physical strength r watching the weather. In a single day last week, nearly 40 peple reached the tp f the wrld — a recrd. Reprts frm base camp spke f queues at dangerus ridges and crwds as peple passed each ther in the final dash fr the 8,848 meters tp.
Mre traditinal muntaineers have been cncerned abut the circus atmsphere surrunding Everest in recent years, and there are warnings that the crwds are making the muntain mre dangerus. In 1996, 14 died n the muntain when the members f several grups were trapped at high altitudes by sudden snwstrms. Bad weather in early May led t this year’s jam n the summit ridge, but the lss, luckily, was light. Just fur climbers died, including a Nepali Sherpa wh had made 11 previus successful climbing.
Traditinalists are als wrried abut the grwing tendency f climbers t set recrds and achieve “firsts”, rather than simply climb the muntain. This year’s crp f muntaineers included the ldest man, 64-year-ld Sherman Bull frm Cnnecticut, and the yungest, 16-year-ld Temba Tsheri Sherpa f Nepal. An American with nly ne arm was n the muntain this year; an Indian with n legs als tried but failed. Erik Weihennieyer, an American, became the first blind persn t reach the tp f the wrld. His fellw climbers stayed in frnt f him n the way up, describing the type f land and ringing bells.
Nepal views Munt Everest as smething f a cash cw. The gvernment charges jurneys a minimum f $70,000. That is prbably why fficials in Katmandu are ignring cncerns abut vercrwding and talking abut even mre climbers cming next year. But a celebratin f the 48th anniversary f the first cnquest f Everest, by Sir Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Nrgay, was cancelled after vilent strikes. Tumultuus (动乱的) Nepali plitics, it seems, culd be just the crwd-cntrl measure that Everest needs.
40. Accrding t the authr, what skills are imprtant fr climbers n Munt Everest?
_____________________________________________________
41. What are traditinal muntaineers wrried abut?

42. Please decide which part is false in the fllwing statement, then underline it and explain why.
●The Nepal gvernment cares little abut the vercrwding prblem because f its internal tumultuus plitics.

43 D yu think it is a gd idea t limit the number f visitrs t a turist attractin? Why?

【18题详解】
考查状语从句省略。句意：当受到病毒攻击时，这些细胞会产生抗体来应对威胁。在when, while, if, as if, thugh(或althugh), as, until, nce, whether, unless, where等连词连接的状语从句中，常省略跟主句相同的主语和be动词；“When ____ (attack) by viruses”是时间状语从句，原句为“When these cells are attacked by viruses”，符合状语从句省略条件，省略these cells are后，应保留过去分词attacked。故填attacked。

I watched the earth get smaller and smaller belw me. It all lked very far away, especially given that I was t jurney all the way back t the grund with a parachute (降落伞). I lked at the dr n the side f the aircraft and thught abut why I was there.
Tday shuld have been my granny’s 80th birthday. But she passed away frm cancer when she was 76. Milestne birthdays were a big deal fr my granny. She marked her 50th year by running her first marathn, her 60th year by learning t swim s she culd d her first triathln (铁人三项), and her 70th year by jumping ut f a plane. I knw she was afraid t jump ut f the plane that day, but she wanted t make that jump and met her fear with jy and determinatin, qualities that defined hw she lived thrugh everything — raising my father and my aunt, marathns, triathlns, cancer.
I started the day lking at her birthday phts, eagerly wndering what she wuld d fr tday. I wanted t transprt myself int the plane with her, ask her everything abut hw she was feeling and why she was there, and hear her answering every questin I regret never asking her. Actually, I miss her s much and always find it hard t decide what t d with the big days like her birthdays.
Feeling lst in my thughts, I went fr a run but nly made it a few blcks befre I was hit with an unstppable thught. “I shuld’ve gne skydiving tday.” It came ut f nwhere. But nce it was in my head, I culdn’t shake it. I pulled ut my phne and searched fr “skydiving Oregn”. I clicked n the first result and the first thing I saw was blue text n the bttm crner f the website — “Call fr same day appintments”. That is hw I fund myself high up at the back f a plane.
“Yu can always back ut,” my brther reminded me, when I called him n my way t the skydiving place. But I didn’t. Smething had kept me ging. I just kept seeing my granny, staring ut the plane windw, smiling wide. And I had been surprised that it wasn’t just fear I was feeling. As I tk ff, my smile was as wide as my granny’s.
The dr slid pen. Every nerve ending in my bdy flashed red. I didn’t back ut. I wanted t live the day as my granny wuld have — in a brave, whlehearted way. Tday, that meant jumping ut f a plane.
24. Hw did the writer’s granny celebrate her milestne birthdays?

Wh cares if peple think wrngly that the Internet has had mre imprtant influences than the washing machine? Why des it matter that peple are mre impressed by the mst recent changes?
It wuld nt matter if these misjudgments were just a matter f peple’s pinins. Hwever, they have real impacts, as they result in misguided use f scarce resurces.
The fascinatin with the ICT (Infrmatin and Cmmunicatin Technlgy) revlutin, represented by the Internet, has made sme rich cuntries wrngly cnclude that making things is s “yesterday” that they shuld try t live n ideas. This belief in “pst-industrial sciety” has led thse cuntries t neglect their manufacturing sectr (制造业) with negative cnsequences fr their ecnmies.
Even mre wrryingly, the fascinatin with the Internet by peple in rich cuntries has mved the internatinal cmmunity t wrry abut the “digital divide” between the rich cuntries and the pr cuntries. This has led cmpanies and individuals t dnate mney t develping cuntries t buy cmputer equipment and Internet facilities. The questin, hwever, is whether this is what the develping cuntries need the mst. Perhaps giving mney fr thse less fashinable things such as digging wells, extending electricity netwrks and making mre affrdable washing machines wuld have imprved peple’s lives mre than giving every child a laptp cmputer r setting up Internet centres in rural villages, I am nt saying that thse things are necessarily mre imprtant, but many dnatrs have rushed int fancy prgrammes withut carefully assessing the relative lng-term csts and benefits f alternative uses f their mney.
In yet anther example, a fascinatin with the new has led peple t believe that the recent changes in the technlgies f cmmunicatins and transprtatin are s revlutinary that nw we live in a” brderless wrld”. As a result, in the last twenty years r s, many peple have cme t believe that whatever change is happening tday is the result f great technlgical prgress, ging against which will be like trying t turn the clck back. Believing in such a wrld, many gvernments have put an end t sme f the very necessary regulatins n crss-brder flws f capital, labur and gds, with pr results.
Understanding technlgical trends is very imprtant fr crrectly designing ecnmic plicies, bth at the natinal and the internatinal levels, and fr making the right career chices at the individual level. Hwever, ur fascinatin with the latest, and ur under valuatin f what has already becme cmmn, can, and has, led us in all srts f wrng directins.
28. Misjudgments n the influences f new technlgy can lead t ______.
A. a lack f cnfidence in technlgyB. a waste f limited resurces
C. a cnflict f public pininsD. a slw prgress in technlgy
29. The example in Paragraph 4 suggests that dnatrs shuld ______.
A. ensure that each child gets financial supprtB. make their prgrammes attractive t peple
C. take peple’s essential needs int accuntD. prvide mre affrdable internet facilities
30. What can we learn frm the passage?
A. Traditinal technlgy still has a place nwadays.
B. Peple shuld be encuraged t make mre dnatins.
C. Making right career chices is crucial t persnal success.
D. Ecnmic plicies shuld fllw technlgical trends.

【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“The questin, hwever, is whether this is what the develping cuntries need the mst.(然而，问题是，这是否是发展中国家最需要的。)”可知，第4段的例子表明捐赠者应该考虑到人们的基本需求。故选C项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Hwever, ur fascinatin with the latest, and ur under valuatin f what has already becme cmmn, can, and has, led us in all srts f wrng directins.(然而，我们对最新事物的迷恋，以及我们对已经变得普遍的事物的低估，可能并且已经把我们引向了各种错误方向。)”可知，传统技术在今天仍有一席之地。故选A项。
D
Accrding t fficial gvernment figures, there are mre than twice as many kangars as peple in Australia, and many Australians cnsider them pests(有害动物). Landhlding farmers say that the cuntry’s estimated 50 millin kangars damage their crps and cmpete with livestck fr scarce resurces. Australia’s insurance industry says that kangars are invlved in mre than 80 percent f the 20,000-plus vehicle-animal cllisins reprted each year. In the cuntry’s underppulated regin, the cmmn belief is that kangar numbers have swllen t “plague prprtins.”
In the absence f traditinal hunters, the thinking ges, killing kangars is critical t balancing the eclgy and bsting the rural ecnmy. A gvernment-sanctined(政府认可的) industry, based n the cmmercial harvest f kangar meat and hides, exprted $29 millin in prducts in 2017 and supprts abut 4,000 jbs. Tday meat, hides, and leather frm kangars have been exprted t 56 cuntries. Glbal brands such as Nike, Puma, and Adidas buy strng, supple “k-leather” t make athletic gear. And kangar meat is finding its way int mre and mre grcery stres.
Advcates pint ut that lw-fat, high-prtein kangar meat cmes frm an animal mre envirnmentally friendly than greenhuse gas-emitting sheep and cattle. Jhn Kelly, frmer executive directr f the Kangar Industry Assciatin f Australia, says, “Harvesting ur fd and fibers frm animals adapted t Australia’s fragile rangelands is extremely wise and sustainable. Many eclgists will tell yu that there is n mre humane way f prducing red meat.”
Oppnents(反对者) f the industry call the killing inhumane, unsustainable, and unnecessary. Ppulatin estimates are highly debatable, they say, but “plague prprtins” are bilgically implausible. Little kangars grw slwly, and many die, s kangar ppulatins can expand by nly 10 t 15 percent a year, and then nly under the best f circumstances. Dwayne Bannn-Harrisn, a member f the Yuin peple f New Suth Wales, says the idea that kangars are destrying the cuntry is laughable. “They’ve been walking this land a lt lnger than peple have,” he says. “Hw culd smething that’s been here fr thusands f years be ‘destrying’ the cuntry? I dn’t understand the lgic in that.”
Can Australians’ cnflicting attitudes tward kangars be recnciled(和解)? Gerge Wilsn says that if kangars were privately wned, then graziers(放牧人)—wrking independently r thrugh wildlife cnservancies—wuld prtect the animals, treating them as pssessins. They culd feed them, lease them, breed them and charge hunter a fee fr access. “If yu want t cnserve smething,” Wilsn says, “yu have t give it a value. Animals that are cnsidered pests dn’t have value.”
Privatizatin culd als help reduce grazing pressures. If kangars were mre valuable than cattle r sheep, farmers wuld keep less live-stck, which culd be gd fr the envirnment. Under this scheme, landhlders wuld wrk with the kangar industry n branding, marketing and quality cntrl. The gvernment’s rle wuld be versight and regulatin.
31. What can be learnt frm the first three paragraphs?
A. Kangar meat is healthier than ther red meat.
B. Glbal brands make small prfits n kangars.
C. Kangars are mre friendly t the envirnment.
D. Overppulated kangars have becme a financial burden.
32. What des the underlined wrd “implausible” in Paragraph 4 prbably mean?
A. Unreasnable.B. Immeasurable.
C. Unquestinable.D. Unchangeable.
33. Which f the fllwing might be the benefit f privatizatin?
A. The ppularity f kangar hunting.
B The reductin in the number f kangars.
C. The establishment f mre cnservatin areas.
D. The better management f the kangar industry.
34. The passage is written t ________.
A. argue against the killing f kangars
B. stress the imprtance f prtecting kangars
C. present different pinins n the kangar industry
D. prvide a slutin t the prblem caused by kangars
【答案】31. C 32. A 33. D 34. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述的是“如何解决袋鼠造成的问题”。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中第一句Advcates pint ut that lw-fat, high-prtein kangar meat cmes frm an animal mre envirnmentally friendly than greenhuse gas-emitting sheep and cattle.“倡导人士指出，低脂肪、高蛋白袋鼠肉来自一种比排放温室气体的绵羊和牛更环保的动物。”可知，袋鼠对环境更友好。故选C。
【32题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段中Little kangars grw slwly, and many die, s kangar ppulatins can expand by nly 10 t 15 percent a year, and then nly under the best f circumstances.“小袋鼠生长缓慢，很多会死亡，所以袋鼠的数量每年只能增长10%到15%，而且只有在最好的情况下才会增长。”可知，“人口估计非常有争议，但是“瘟疫比例”在生物学上是不可信的。”由此推知划线词的意思是“难以置信的”。故选A。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中Privatizatin culd als help reduce grazing pressures.“私有化也可以帮助减少放牧的压力。”和Under this scheme, landhlders wuld wrk with the kangar industry n branding, marketing and quality cntrl. The gvernment’s rle wuld be versight and regulatin.“根据这一计划，土地所有者将与袋鼠产业合作，在品牌、营销和质量控制方面进行合作。政府的作用将是监督和监管。”可知，更好地管理袋鼠产业可能是私有化的好处。故选D。
【34题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段中Under this scheme, landhlders wuld wrk with the kangar industry n branding, marketing and quality cntrl. The gvernment’s rle wuld be versight and regulatin.“根据这一计划，土地所有者将与袋鼠产业合作，在品牌、营销和质量控制方面进行合作。政府的作用将是监督和监管。”可知，这篇文章是为解决袋鼠造成的问题而写的。故选D。

In sme species f Australian parrt, fr instance, beak size has increased by between 4% and 10% since 1871. Anther study, this time in Nrth American dark-eyed juncs, anther bird, fund the same pattern. ____36____
All that is perfectly cnsistent with evlutinary thery. “Allen’s rule”, named fr Jel Asaph Allen, wh suggested it in 1877, hlds that warm-blded animals in ht places tend t have larger bdy parts than thse in temperate (温带的) regins. ____37____ Being richly filled with bld vessels, and nt cvered by feathers, beaks make an ideal place fr birds t get rid f heat. Fennec fxes, meanwhile, which are native t the Sahara Desert, have strikingly large ears, especially cmpared with their Arctic cusins.
Ms. Ryding is nt the first researcher t take that apprach. But it is hard, when dealing with individual species, t prve that climate change was the cause f an anatmical (解剖学的) changes. All srts f ther factrs, frm changes in prey t the evlving reprductive preferences f males r females, might have been driving the changes. ____38____ The team cmbined data frm different species in different places. Since they have little in cmmn apart frm living n a warming planet, climate change is the mst reasnable explanatin.
____39____ That may change as warming accelerates. Since any evlutinary adaptatin cmes with trade-ffs (妥协), it is unclear hw far the prcess might g. Bigger beaks might make feeding harder, fr instance. Larger wings are heavier, and bigger legs cst mre energy t grw.
A. Hwever, lking at the bigger picture makes the pattern clearer.
B. Fr nw, at least, the increase is small, never much mre than 10%.
C. Animals will have t rely n changing their bdies r their behavirs.
D. It seems that the future wrld is ging t be htter than humans are used t.
E. Therefre, the negative effects f a warmer wrld are visible in these animals’ bdies.
F. Such adaptatins bst an animal’s surface area relative t its bdy, helping it t release extra heat.
G. Similar trends are seen in mammals, with species f mice and bats evlving bigger ears, legs and wings.
【答案】35. C 36. G 37. F 38. A 39. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。讲述了地球变暖正在改变动物的外貌，如嘴巴变大。
【35题详解】
根据上文“Fr humans, adapting t climate change will mstly be a matter f technlgy. Mre air cnditining, better-designed huses and bigger fld defenses may help mitigate the effects f a warm wrld. (对人类来说，适应气候变化将主要是技术问题。更多的空调、更好设计的房屋和更大的防洪系统可能有助于缓解全球变暖的影响)”可知，人类依靠的是科学技术来适应气候变化。选项C“动物将不得不依靠改变它们的身体或行为（去适应）。”承接上文，说明和人类不同，动物要适应气候变化就只能依靠它们的身体和行为。从而引出下文对于动物适应气候变化发生的变化的讲述，上下文通顺合理。故选C项。
【36题详解】
空处位于段末应承接上文。上文“In sme species f Australian parrt, fr instance, beak size has increased by between 4% and 10% since 1871. Anther study, this time in Nrth American dark-eyed juncs, anther bird, fund the same pattern. (例如，在一些澳大利亚鹦鹉中，自1871年以来，喙的大小增加了4%到10%。另一项研究，这次是在另一种鸟类北美黑眼鹦鹉中，发现了同样的模式)”列举了一些动物因为天气变暖，喙变大的例子。由此推知，空处承接上文，继续举例。选项G“哺乳动物也有类似的趋势，老鼠、鼩鼱和蝙蝠进化出更大的耳朵、尾巴、腿和翅膀”符合语境，是动物应对天气变化外貌发生变化的例子。故选G项。
【37题详解】
根据上文“‘Allen’s rule’, named fr Jel Asaph Allen, wh suggested it in 1877, hlds that warm-blded-animals in ht places tend t have larger appendages (附属物) than thse in less ht regins. (“艾伦法则”是以Jel Asaph Allen的名字命名的，他在1877年提出了这一法则，认为在炎热地区的温血动物往往比在不那么炎热地区的动物有更大的附属物)”可知，炎热地区的温血动物往往长有更大的附属物，这是动物对气候的一种适应，选项F“这种适应性增加了动物相对于其身体体积的表面积，帮助它释放多余的热量。”解释了这种现象的产生原因。下文“Being richly filled with bld vessels, and nt cvered by feathers, beaks make an ideal place fr birds t get rid f heat. Fennec fxes, meanwhile, which are native t the Sahara Desert, have strikingly large ears, especially cmpared with their Arctic cusins.( 喙拥有丰富的血管，没有绝缘羽毛覆盖，是鸟类散热的理想场所。又比如，与它们的北极近亲相比，原产于撒哈拉沙漠的芬内克狐狸有着惊人的大耳朵)”举例说明动物的这种适应性。上下文通顺合理。故选F项。
【38题详解】
根据下文“The team cmbined data frm different species in different places. (她的团队综合了来自不同地方不同物种的数据)”可知，团队综合了更多地方的数据，选项A“然而，从更大的角度来看，形式更清晰。”说明观察更多会更清楚地看到这种模式，符合语境，上下文通顺合理。故选A项。
【39题详解】
根据下文“That may change as warming accelerates. Since any evlutinary adaptatin cmes with trade-ffs (妥协), it is unclear hw far the prcess might g. (随着气候变暖的加速，这种情况可能会改变。由于任何进化适应都会进行利弊权衡，因此尚不清楚这一过程会走多远)”可知，未来这种情况的变化，that指代上文提到的情况，选项B“至少就目前而言，增幅很小，从未超过10%。”说明现在的变化情况，上下文合理通顺，下文预测这种情况的发展,，且下文中的“That may change”指代选项B中的增长。故选B项。

阅读下面短文，根据题目要求回答问题。
Crwd cntrl culd sn becme an imprtant skill fr climbers n Munt Everest, as imprtant as physical strength r watching the weather. In a single day last week, nearly 40 peple reached the tp f the wrld — a recrd. Reprts frm base camp spke f queues at dangerus ridges and crwds as peple passed each ther in the final dash fr the 8,848 meters tp.
Mre traditinal muntaineers have been cncerned abut the circus atmsphere surrunding Everest in recent years, and there are warnings that the crwds are making the muntain mre dangerus. In 1996, 14 died n the muntain when the members f several grups were trapped at high altitudes by sudden snwstrms. Bad weather in early May led t this year’s jam n the summit ridge, but the lss, luckily, was light. Just fur climbers died, including a Nepali Sherpa wh had made 11 previus successful climbing.
Traditinalists are als wrried abut the grwing tendency f climbers t set recrds and achieve “firsts”, rather than simply climb the muntain. This year’s crp f muntaineers included the ldest man, 64-year-ld Sherman Bull frm Cnnecticut, and the yungest, 16-year-ld Temba Tsheri Sherpa f Nepal. An American with nly ne arm was n the muntain this year; an Indian with n legs als tried but failed. Erik Weihennieyer, an American, became the first blind persn t reach the tp f the wrld. His fellw climbers stayed in frnt f him n the way up, describing the type f land and ringing bells.
Nepal views Munt Everest as smething f a cash cw. The gvernment charges jurneys a minimum f $70,000. That is prbably why fficials in Katmandu are ignring cncerns abut vercrwding and talking abut even mre climbers cming next year. But a celebratin f the 48th anniversary f the first cnquest f Everest, by Sir Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Nrgay, was cancelled after vilent strikes. Tumultuus (动乱的) Nepali plitics, it seems, culd be just the crwd-cntrl measure that Everest needs.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了近年来珠穆朗玛峰的登山者越来越多，导致攀登变得更加危险，而且很多登山者关注创造纪录和个人成就，而不是简单的登山，这使得控制人群成了登山者的重要技能。但是尼泊尔政府将珠峰之旅视作经济收益，不太关心过度拥挤的问题。
【40题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Crwd cntrl culd sn becme an imprtant skill fr climbers n Munt Everest, as imprtant as physical strength r watching the weather. (人群控制可能很快就会成为珠穆朗玛峰登山者的一项重要技能，就像体力和观察天气一样重要)”可知，在作者看来，攀登珠穆朗玛峰重要的技能是人群控制、体力和观察天气。故答案为：Crwd cntrls, physical strength and watching the weather.
【41题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Mre traditinal muntaineers have been cncerned abut the circus atmsphere surrunding Everest in recent years, and there are warnings that the crwds are making the muntain mre dangerus. (近年来，更传统的登山者一直担心珠穆朗玛峰周围乱哄哄的人群气氛，有人警告说，人群正在使这座山变得更加危险)”和第三段中“Traditinalists are als wrried abut the grwing tendency f climbers t set recrds and achieve “firsts”, rather than simply climb the muntain. (传统派还担心，越来越多的登山者倾向于创造记录和实现“第一”，而不是简单地登山)”可知，传统的登山者担心两个问题，一是近年来珠穆朗玛峰周围乱哄哄的人群气氛，或者说人群会让这座山变得更加危险，二是登山者越来越倾向于创造记录和实现“第一”，而不是简单地攀登这座山。故答案为：They are wrried abut the circus atmsphere surrunding Everest in recent years, and the grwing tendency f climbers t set recrds and achieve “firsts”, rather than simply climb the muntain.或They are wrried that the crwds are making the muntain mre dangerus. They are als wrried abut the grwing tendency f climbers t set recrds and achieve “firsts”, rather than simply climb the muntain.
【42题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Nepal views Munt Everest as smething f a cash cw. The gvernment charges jurneys a minimum f $70,000. That is prbably why fficials in Katmandu are ignring cncerns abut vercrwding and talking abut even mre climbers cming next year. (尼泊尔视珠穆朗玛峰为摇钱树。政府对旅行收费最低为7万美元。这可能就是为什么加德满都的官员无视对过度拥挤的担忧，谈论明年会有更多的登山者到来)”可知，尼泊尔政府不太关心过度拥挤的问题的原因不是国内政局动荡，而是它将珠穆朗玛峰视为一棵摇钱树。故答案为：The Nepal gvernment cares little abut the vercrwding prblem because f its internal tumultuus plitics. Accrding t the passage, the Nepal gvernment cares little abut the vercrwding prblem because it views Munt Everest as smething f a cash cw.
【43题详解】
开放性试题。本题的答案不唯一，结合实际情况言之有理即可。例如，可以认为限制旅游景点的游客人数是个好主意，因为排长队、通道有限和观景点拥挤会减少乐趣并产生失落感。通过控制游客数量，有关当局可以确保每个人都有更愉快的体验。此外，这种方法可以减少对环境的负面影响，促进旅游业的可持续发展，从而更好地保护和管理景点。故答案为：Yes, I d. Lng queues, limited access, and crwded viewpints can diminish the enjyment and create frustratin. By cntrlling the number f visitrs, authrities can ensure a mre pleasant experience fr everyne. Besides, this methd can reduce the negative impact n the envirnment and prmte sustainable turism, allwing fr better cnservatin and management f the site.
