| For: Doug Smith, Director of wolf recovery, Yellowstone National Park In the world today there is so much we are losing; more and more species disappear from the earth every year. The time has come to put something back，to restore to treat some of the old wounds enforced on nature over the years. Wolves are animals killing and eating other animals in North America. They play an important role in keeping the continent healthy. Most places don’t have enough wild country to make their restoration possible, which means it’s even more important to restore wolves where conditions are right, places like Yellowstone, which has both a high level of wildness, as well as abundant creatures that wolves hunt and eat for living. Some who oppose wolf restoration have a human centered point of view that the earth is here for humans, we can use it whenever we want and for whatever purpose. But wolves offer us a chance to live another way—a way to learn to live with other life forms. | Against: Larry Bouret, Vice President, Wyoming Farm Bureau What does wolf introduction to Yellowstone mean? To the average citizen it probably just means introducing wolves to Yellowstone. There would be no unfavorable effects because few people live near Yellowstone. But to farmers it means introducing wolves, which wander over vast areas—in and out of the park—onto their farms. Wolves eat meat—as in the cattle, sheep that keep farmers in business. Introduction apparently also means lawsuits by environmental groups attempting to remove livestock from federal lands. To farmers, who own private lands in the same area, it means the possibility of financial ruin. To farmers it is a form of land use restrictions. To farmers introducing wolves means taking away the farmers’ livelihoods without just compensation. Why do people not want a nuclear power plant built in their backyard? For the same reason farmers do not want wolves introduced into their backyard. |
1.What are the two passages mainly about?
A. Whether to remove livestock away from federal lands.
B. Whether to introduce wolves to Yellowstone.
C. How to increase the number of wolves.
D. How to keep the balance of nature.
2.According to the passage Doug Smith is _______.
A. a national park administrator.
B. a wildlife conservationist.
C. an enthusiastic hunter.
D. a private land owner.
3.What are the farmers concerned about?
A. Being controlled by wolves.
B. Having to sell their farmland.
C. Suffering heavy financial loss.
D. Being forced to leave their homes.
4.Why does Larry Bouret mention “nuclear power plant”?
A. To summarize his opinion.
B. To make his view persuasive.
C. To tell the danger of nuclear power plant.
D. To introduce the background of wolf recovery.

The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., is one of the world's greatest art museums. Millions of people have entered its doors to see paintings by the world's fine artists. But if these priceless masterpieces are to be preserved, the Gallery must protect them carefully. The Gallery's 135-man guard force has successfully prevented them from being stolen, but protecting the paintings from nature is a greater problem.
In past times, the owners of paintings did not protect them from damaging changes in humidity (湿度) and temperature. As a result, the life of these paintings were shortened. In the National Gallery, however, humidity and temperature are carefully controlled. The building is air-conditioned in summer and heated in winter. The air-conditioning and heating system are so important to the life of the painting that the Gallery has two of each system. If one should fail, the extra one can take over.
Light is another enemy of paintings. Ultraviolet rays (紫外线) in light cause paintings to fade (褪色). Long ago, paintings often hung in dark churches and palaces. A coat of varnish (清漆) was a protection from the weak light. But when museums took over the care of many paintings, they were often hung in brighter light than before. Soon they were in danger of fading. The damaging effects of light were increased when the museums removed the varnish coating, yellowed with age.
To protect its paintings, the National Gallery put a special kind of glass in its skylights. This glass allows visible lights to enter the building but it keeps out harmful ultraviolet rays. The Gallery has also developed new and better varnishes which help to keep paintings from fading. Thanks to these new precautions, many of the world's greatest paintings are being well protected for future generations to enjoy.
1.The text mainly tells us about ______.
A．the guard force in the National Gallery
B．protecting great paintings from nature
C．priceless paintings of past times
D．the air-conditioning and heating systems in the National Gallery
2.The underlined word "precautions" in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ______.
A．decorations
B．problems
C．suggestions
D．applications
3.From the text we can infer that_______.
A．great artists painted in dark churches and palaces
B．you can touch these paintings while you are in the National Gallery
C．the care of the world's greatest paintings is both a big responsibility and a great challenge
D．the guard force in the Gallery has not done a good job
高二英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析
Like many other nations, China has been busy putting together evacuation （撤侨）plans for its citizens stuck in crisis-torn Libya．The real surprise has been just how many Chinese are living there．The foreign ministry does not know for sure but puts the figure at 30-40,000．
The huge contingent （代表团） in Libya, who work for at least 27 Chinese companies, has brought to light one of the new dilemmas facing China as its economic interests expand．For a mixture of reasons that are partly political, partly business, Chinese workers are now present in many of the most unrest and dangerous parts of the world, including places where anti-Chinese sentiment over jobs and working conditions is on the rise．One of the first wake-up calls was in 2007, when a group of Chinese women were kidnapped in Pakistan, an event which led to the siege of the Red Mosque in Lahore．In the same year, nine Chinese oil workers were killed in Ethiopia．In recent years, Chinese workers have been kidnapped in Cameroon, Congo and Afghanistan．
Publicly, Chinese diplomats admit that the country needs better contingency plans to deal with this sort of situation．Privately, they worry about a different issue: that such incidents will force them to get much more involved in domestic political disputes in far-off lands, pulling the government away from its commitment to a policy of non-interference．The nightmare, a few diplomats and academics admit, would be a large, violent attack on a group of Chinese which then prompted an intense nationalist reaction at home, forcing the government to take the sort of interventionist （干涉主义的） actions it tries to shun．
Beijing gave some indication of how it will respond in the future with the decision on Thursday to send the frigate（护卫舰） Xuzhou, currently conducting anti-piracy tasks off the coast of Somalia, to Libya．Its mission will be to help the evacuation effort, but it is also a warning to any in Libya who might attack Chinese interests, as well as the latest indication of the growing global reach of China’s navy．As Andrew Erickson, a China expert at the US Naval War College says: “This latest initiative（方案） is part of a larger ongoing increase in Chinese power, presence, and influence around the world, and should come as no surprise．China has global interests, cannot free ride forever, and requires a presence in critical areas and situations in order to have a voice．”
1.What is the main idea of the passage?
A．There are many Chinese workers in the most unrest and dangerous parts of the world．
B．China should protect workers in the foreign countries．
C．China are taking actions to bring its citizens back from Libya．
D．The international situation is terrible
2.The underlined word “shun” in the third paragraph most probably means?
A．take part in B．avoid
C．carry out D．refuse
3.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A．It remains unknown how many Chinese are living in Libya．
B．A large number workers are working abroad, which bring about advantages and disadvantages．
C．In no case will the Chinese government take part in solving the political problems in far-off lands．
D．Our government take immediate action to deal with this sort of situation．
4.What’s Not true about the frigate Xuzhou?
A．It is conducting anti-piracy tasks off the coast of Somalia．
B．It will help the evacuation effort．
C．It is a warning to Libya who might attack Chinese interests．
D．It indicates that China’s navy can reach an increasing number of parts of the global．
