you can"t remember it.You just waste your valuable time.  1  One dependable aid that does help you
remember what you study is to have a specific purpose or reason for reading.
     Why does a clerk in a store go away when your reply to her offer to help is, "No, thank you.I"m just
looking."? Both you and she know that if you aren"t sure what you want, you are not likely to find it. But
suppose you say instead, "Yes, thank you.I want a pair of sun glasses." She says, "Right this way, please"
  2    If you choose a book, "just looking" for nothing in particular, you are likely to get just that-nothing.
But if you do know what you want, you are almost sure to get it.Your reasons will vary; they will include
reading or studying "to find out more about", "to understand the reasons for" and "to find out how".
  3    Before you start to study, you say to yourself something like this, "I want to know why Stephen
Vincent Benet happened to write about America".Because you know why you are reading or studying,
you relate the information to your purpose and remember it better.
       4    At least two important processes go on at the same time. As you read, you take in ideas rapidly
and accurately. But at the same time you express your own ideas to yourself as you react to what you
read.You have a kind of mental conversation with the author.
     This additional process of thinking about what you read includes evaluating it, relating it to what you
already know, and using it for your own purposes.   5    One part of critical reading, as you have
discovered, is distinguishing between facts and opinions.Facts can be checked by evidence, Opinions are
one"s own personal reactions.Another part of critical reading is judging sources.Still another part is
drawing accurate inferences.A. Maybe you have already discovered some clever ways to keep yourself from forgetting.
B. It is important for students to have a positive attitude to their study.
C. You remember better when you know what you" re reading.
D. In other words, a good reader is a critical reader.
E. It"s quite the same with your studying.
F. Reading is not one single activity.
G. This is the way it works.

阅读理解。     Several animal species including gorillas (大猩猩) the in Rwanda and tigers in Bangladesh could risk
extinction if impact of climate change and extreme weather on their homes is not handled, a UN report
showed on Sunday.
     Released during the course of global climate negotiations in Durban, the report by the United Nations
Food and Agriculture Organisation (UNFAO) shows how higher temperatures, the rise in sea levels,
deforestation and overuse of land have damaged the habitats of certain species, especially in Africa.
"Many ecosystems have already been affected by increasing population, historical and recent
deforestation, short-lasting management practices and even invasive species," Eduardo Rojas, assistant
director general at the UNFAO"s forestry department, said at the release of the report.
     The most affected areas include mountains, islands and coastal areas, which limit the possibilities for
animals to move elsewhere and create new habitats. "The remaining populations are limited to very small
ecosystems. They have inbreeding (近亲繁殖) problems.., and at the end these species may disappear,"
he added.
     Other examples of affected animals include elephants in Mall, lions in Serengeti and crocodiles in
Malawi. The report says about 20~30 percent of plant and animal species will be at higher risk of
extinction due to global warming and a significant number of local species may disappear by 2050 as a
consequence. Other consequences could include the spread of invasive species and infectious diseases,
it said.
     The report urges more focus on restoration of damaged ecosystems, especially those key to dealing
with climate change such as inland waters, forests and grasslands. The UNFAO also called for the
creation of movement channels for animals in areas where their movement was affected. The organization
said while more resources (资源) were flowing to biodiversity conservation, more action at th
government and policy level was needed. It also urges local communities to develop projects that ease
the effect of climate change on wildlife, naming ecotourism activities as an example.1. What does the author tell us in Paragraph 2?A. The theme of global climate negotiations in Durban.
B. The subject of research done by Eduardo Rojas.
C. Harmful effects of damage done to ecosystems.
D. Causes of damage done to ecosystems.2. Why are animals living in mountains, islands and coastal areas most affected?A. They are frequently attacked by invasive species and infectious diseases.
B. They have difficulty finding enough food for survival.
C. They have little chance of moving to other places.
D. They can hardly find mates to produce their young.3. To avoid extinction of some animal species, the UNFAO suggested all the following ways
       EXCEPT ______.A. restoring damaged ecosystems
B. limiting world population growth
C. creating movement channels for animals
D. urging governments and local communities to take action4. What would serve as the best title for the passage?A. Climate change and ecotourism
B. Human activities and the animal kingdom
C. Gorillas, tigers at risk due to climate change
D. How to balance human development and animal rights

     认真阅读下列短文, 并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
注意:每个空格只填1个单词,请将答案写在横线上。     More than twenty tons of ivory (象牙), seized from illegal hunters, was burned in Kenya to keep the
ivory off the international market and to discourage the illegal killing of elephants for their ivory.
     The past 12 months had seen a record number of large ivory seizures across the world, a wildlife
 protection organization said Thursday, saying it had been a horrible year for elephants. There were at
least 13 large seizures in 2011, totalling at least 23 tons of ivory meaning that about 2,500 elephants
were killed.
     This compares to just six large seizures in 2010, weighing a total of just under 10 tons, and confirms
a sharp rise in the trade since 2007. This is the worst year ever for large ivory seizures in the past 23
years-2011 had truly been a horrible year for elephants.
     Most illegal shipments of African elephant ivory end up in either China, where it is made into powder
and used in traditional medicine, or in Thailand, with Malaysia the most frequent transit country (中转
国). The increasing quantities of ivory being traded, most of which are from either Kenyan or Tanzanian
ports, reflected a rising demand in Asia. They constantly change their transport ways to Asia to avoid
detection, including switching from airplanes to seaships, and once the ivory products arrive, their
documentation (证明文件) is rewritten to hide the fact that they came from Africa. As most large ivory
seizures fail to result in any arrests, the criminals are winning and have illegally made large amounts of
money.
      International trade in elephant ivory was banned in 1990, and ETIS (the Elephant Trade Information
System) holds the details of reports on more than 17,000 ivory and other elephant product seizures
across the world since then.

     Traditional fairytales (童话) are being given up by parents because they are too scary for their young
children, a study found.
     Research uncovered that one in five parents has got rid of old literature such as Snow White and the
Seven Dwarves and Rapunzel in favor of more modern books.
     One third of parents said their children have been left in tears after hearing the gruesome details of
Little Red Riding Hood.
     And nearly half of mothers and fathers refuse to read Rumplesliltshin to their kids as the themes of the
story are kidnapping and killing.
     Similarly, Goldilocks and the Three Bears was also a tale likely to be left on the book shelf as parents
felt it forgives stealing.
     The survey of 2,000 adults was completed to mark the launch of the hit US drama GRIMM ( 格林
童话剧) , which starts tonight at 9pm on Watch, and sees six drama series based on traditional fairytales.
The survey found a quarter of parents questioned wouldn"t consider reading fairytales to their kids.
     And 52 percent of the parents said Cinderella didn"t send a good message to their children as it
describes a young woman doing housework all day.
     Steve Hornsey, General Manager of Watch, said: "Bedtime stories are supposed to calm children
down and send them off to sleep soundly.But as we see in GMMM, fairytales can be dark and dramatic
so it"s understandable that parents worry about reading them to young children.As adults we can see the
innocence in fairytales, but a five - year - old child could take them too literally.Despite the dark nature of
classic fairytales as we see in GRIMM, good will defeat evil and there is always a moral to the story."
     The study also found two thirds of mums and dads try to avoid stories which might give their children
nightmares.The most popular book read at bedtime is now "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" by Eric Carle.
     However half of parents said traditional tales are "more likely to have a strong moral message than a
lot of modern kids" books, such as The Gruffato, The Hungary Caterpillar and the Mr. Men books.
1. Classical works for children are being avoided by parents they think           .
A. they contain unmoral themes
B. they are terrifying
C. they encourage stealing, kidnapping and killing
D. they are tired of answering questions
2. What does the underlined word "gruesome" mean?
A. Very horrible    
B. Very amusing  
C. Very disappointing  
D. Very amazing
3. Which stories are the popular bedtime stories that parents like to tell their children now?
A. Snow White and the Seven Dwarves and Cinderella
B. The Very Hungry Caterpillar and Little Red Riding Hood.
C. The Very Hungry Caterpillar and Mr. Men
D. Goldilocks and the Three Bears and Cinderella
4. According to Steve Hornsey , adults can see innocence in a fairy tale but a 5-year-old child
       might ______.
A. think it is different from the reality      
B. dislike it because it is scary
C. believe exactly what the tale says        
D. feel there is a moral to the story

     Some of Britain"s most favoured spring visitors are disappearing in their thousands. Scientists say
birds such as the cuckoo (布谷鸟), whose song announces the arrival of warm weather in Britain, are
dropping in numbers.
     A typical migrant bird (候鸟) from Africa, cuckoo may no longer make its annual appearance in the
woodlands in Britain
, says a scientist. Numbers of migrant birds from Africa have declined seriously in
the UK since 1995.For cuckoos the figure is 44%.The call of the cuckoo could be silenced in the near
future.
     The real problem is that there are so many different possible causes for the loss-which makes it
difficult to find out the real reasons for their decline and to prepare plans to put things right.
     The loss could be the result of changes in farmland use in Britain which are affecting the way cuckoos
breed (繁殖) when they arrive here in spring. On top of changes of land use, scientists suspect that many
cuckoos are finding it increasingly difficult to feed themselves when they come to breed in Britain. The
large insects they eat have dropped rapidly in number here.
     Climate change might be another important reason. Migrant cuckoos arrive and breed at times which
are no longer the best periods when food, such as insects, is available. Climate changes also affect timings of breeding cycles.
     Or the loss could be due to the increase of human populations in Africa and the destruction of natural
living environment where they make their homes in winter.
     Apart from these, the killing takes place in spring and autumn when cuckoos, flying from and to
Africa, cross islands in the Mediterranean Sea. They are shot in their hundreds of thousands by hunters
who just enjoy killing them for the "sport" .It is against the European Union law, but that doesn"t stop it
happening.
     Sheehan, a scientist, said, cuckoos "arrive in our countryside just as the first good weather arrives.
We associate them with spring and warmth. That is why they appear so often in old English stories. They
are part of our culture-which makes the decline in their number so worrying."
1. What can be inferred from the underlined part in Paragraph 2?
A. Cuckoos may arrive in warm weather.
B. Cuckoos may rarely be seen in Britain.
C. Cuckoos may appear every two years.
D. Cuckoos may come back to the woodlands.
2. Concerning the rapid decrease in the number of cuckoos, scientists _______.
A. find it difficult to discover the real reasons
B. know few possible causes for the loss
C. have plans to put things right
D. doubt if the data are accurate
3. According to the passage, what happens in Britain that possibly causes the decline of cuckoos?
A. Many hunters kill cuckoos for fun.
B. Cuckoos" main food is getting less.
C. Policies on land use have changed.
D. Human population increases rapidly.
4.Which could be the best title for the passage?
A. Cuckoos, Who Take Away Your Food?
B. Climate Change: A Danger to Cuckoos
C. Spring May Lose Song of Cuckoos
D. A Song for England"s Cuckoos
