Travelers should also be careful about animals while driving at night in rural areas.Highway 401, from Detroit to Montreal, is one of the busiest highways in North America. It has been the scene of many deadly traffic accidents due to sudden and severe weather changes, high rates of speed, and heavy truck traffic.

Until xx, no African woman ever had. That was when Dr. Wangari Maathai won it for planting trees. You might ask, what do trees have to do with peace? “Many wars are fought over resources (资源),” Dr. Maathai said as she accepted the prize. “If we conserve resources better, the fighting will stop.”Dr. Maathai was born in Kenya in 1940. Unlike most African women, she went to school. High school woke up a hunger in her for more knowledge. She went to college in Kansas and earned a masters degree in science from the University of Pittsburgh. She became the first Kenyan woman ever to earn a Ph.D. Later, Dr. Maathai taught animal science at Kenyas University of Nairobi.As an educated woman, Dr. Maathai feels responsible for leading others. Dr. Maathai started her work in 1977 by planting nine trees in her backyard in Kenya. Trees are important in Africa for several reasons. First, they keep soil from eroding (流失) into streams, thus cutting down on pollution and improving the soil. Second, trees provide firewood. So many trees have been cut down in Africa that women must walk far from home to find wood for cooking. New trees can also keep deserts from spreading.Dr. Maathais Green Belt Movement pays local women for every tree they plant that is still alive three months later. In its first 15 years, the Green Belt Movement employed at least 50,000 women and planted more than 10 million trees. Following Dr. Maathais example, the Kenyan government increased its own tree-planting efforts. The movement has spread to 30 countries in Africa. When the land and peoples lives have improved, Dr. Maathai says, peace will follow.8. The underlined word “conserve” in Paragraph 1 probably means “_”.A. use B. protectC. find D. provide9. Dr. Wangari Maathai is the first African woman to _.A. win the Nobel Peace PrizeB. encourage people to plant treesC. get a masters degree in scienceD. realize the power of knowledge10. Whats Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. The importance of trees.B. How trees prevent pollution.C. How planting trees works in Africa.D. The history of tree-planting in Africa.11. The Green Belt Movement _.A. aims to provide job opportunities for womenB. attracted the worlds attention to AfricaC. pays for every newly-planted treeD. covered a large area in Africa【答案】8. B 9. A 10. A 11. D【解析】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了诺贝尔和平奖获得者Wangari Maathai种树带来的巨大影响。【8题详解】词义猜测题。根据文章第一段Many wars are fought over resources以及下文描述种树带来的诸多益处可知，如果资源能很好地被保护，那么以争夺资源为由的战争也就会停止，由此可推测出conserve为“保护”之意。故选B。【9题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第一段Not many women have won the Nobel Peace Prize. Until xx, no African woman ever had. That was when Dr. Wangari Maathai won it for planting trees.可知，Dr. Wangari Maathai是非洲第一个获得诺贝尔和平奖的女性。故选A。【10题详解】段落大意题。根据文章第三段的主题句Trees are important in Africa for several reasons.可知，本段主要说明树的重要性。故选A。【11题详解】细节理解题。根据文章最后一段he movement has spread to 30 countries in Africa.可知，绿带运动涵盖了非洲大片区域。故选D。DSince English biologist Charles Darwin (1809 1882) published On the Origin of Species in 1859, scientists have vastly improved their knowledge of natural history. However, a lot of information is still the subject of speculation, and scientists can still only make educated guesses at certain things.One subject that they guess about is why some 400 million years ago, animals in the sea developed limbs (肢) that allowed them to move onto and live on land.Recently, an idea that occurred to the US paleontologist (古生物学家) Alfred Romer a century ago became a hot topic once again.Sea animals would have been forced into these pools by strong tides. Then, they would have been made either to adapt to their new environment close to land or die. The fittest among them grew to acplish the transition (过渡) from sea to land. Romer thought that tidal pools might have led to fish gaining limbs.Romer called these earliest four-footed animals “tetrapods” (四足动物). Science has always thought that this was a credible theory, but only recently has there been strong enough evidence to support it.Hannah Byrne is an oceanographer (海洋学家) at Uppsala University in Sweden. She announced at the xx Ocean Sciences Meeting in Oregon, US, on Feb 15 that by using puter software, her team had managed to link Romers theory to places where fossil deposits (化石沉积) of the earliest tetrapods were found.According to the magazine Science, in xx, Steven Balbus, a scientist at the University of Oxford in the UK, calculated that 400 million years ago, when the move from land to sea was achieved, tides were stronger than they are today. This is because the planet was 10 percent closer to the moon than it is now.The creatures stranded in the pools would have been under the pressure of “survival of the fittest”, explained the UKs University of Bangor ocean scientist Mattias Green. As he told Science: “After a few days in these pools, you bee food or you run out of food the fish that had large limbs had an advantage because they could flip (空翻) themselves back in the water”.As is often the case, however, there are others who find the theory less convincing. Cambridge University paleontologist Jennifer Clark, speaking to Nature magazine, seemed unconvinced. “Its only one of many ideas for the origin of land-dwelling (陆地栖息的) tetrapods, any or all of which may have been a part of the answer,” she said.12. Who first proposed the theory that fish might have gained limbs because of tidal pools?A. Charles Darwin. B. Alfred Romer.C. Hannah Byrne. D. Steven Balbus.13. Why were tides stronger 400 million years ago than they are today according to Steven Balbus?A. Earth moved faster than it does today.B. Earth was closer to the sun than it is today.C. Earth was closer to the moon than it is today.D. Earth had larger oceans than it does today.14. What does the underlined word “stranded” in Paragraph 8 mean?A. Trapped. B. Settled.C. Survived. D. Adapted.15. What is the focus of the article?A. The proposal of a new scientific theory.B. The arguments over a scientific theory.C. Some new evidence to support a previous theory.D. A new discovery that questions a previous theory.【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. C【解析】【分析】本文为一篇科普说明文。一些新的证据验证了先前人们的猜测理论：即海洋中的动物是因为潮汐的作用导致鱼类发展出四肢，迁徙到陆地的。【12题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中的Recently, an idea that occurred to the US paleontologist(古生物学家) Alfred Romer a century ago became a hot topic once again.和第四段中的Homer thought that tidal(潮汐的) pools might have led to fish gaining limbs.可知，是Alfred Romer最先提出了鱼类可能因为潮汐而发展出四肢的理论。故选B。【13题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第七段中的tides were stronger than they are today. This is because the planet was 10 percent closer to the moon than it is now.过去的潮汐比现在强。这是因为地球这颗行星以前比现在离月球近了10%。故选C。【14题详解】词义猜测题。根据文章第四段中的Sea animals would have been forced into these pools by strong tides.可知Homer认为海洋生物因为潮汐被迫进入水池；第八段中的The creatures stranded in the pools would have been under the pressure of “survival of the fittest”, explained the UKs University of Bangor ocean scientist Mattias Green.结合两处可知，鱼儿是被迫进入池中，故选A。【15题详解】主旨大意题。纵观全文可知，英国生物学家达尔文的物种起源极大地提高了科学家对自然的认识。但仍有不少没有根据的猜测。其中的一个猜测就是为什么在4亿年前，海洋中的动物有了四肢。从而让他们迁徙到陆地上生活。一个世纪以前。美国古生物学家Alfred Rome提出的一个想法，即潮汐可能导致鱼类发展出四肢，这再次成为一个热门话题。针对此许多科学家进行的实验提供了许多新的证据来证实它。故选C。【点睛】阅读理解通常都会出现词义猜测题，要求考生从上下文理解中概括出生词或短语的词义。考生作此类题型时，首先要找到所猜测词所在文章的位置，然后在理解文章大意的基础之上，对此词前后句反复研读，最后根据前后句猜测出词义。例如小题3要求猜测出stranded的含义，上文提到Homer认为海洋生物因为潮汐被迫进入水池，再根据The creatures stranded in the pools would have been under the pressure of “survival of the fittest”, explained the UKs University of Bangor ocean scientist Mattias Green.中的under the pressure，从而推测出stranded为“处于困境的”之意。E根据短文内容，从短文后的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。Smarter StudyingHow did you learn how to ride your bike?
