A
Probably the most well-known endangered animal in the world today is the Giant Panda．It is the symbol of the World Wildlife Fund．
The main threat to the Giant Panda is the loss of its habitat. Today the mountain forests of China are the only places in the world where pandas live. They feed on the bamboo that grows there. The bamboo is so poor in nutrients that the panda has to eat huge quantities of it every day. An adult panda can easily eat 35 to 40 per cent of its body weight in a single day. Bamboo grows only under the shade of forests and so pandas have been particularly hit by the large –scale logging which has devastated China’s forests in the last forty years. Since the mid-seventies the panda has lost at least half of its forest habitat. These forests have been cleared over the past 100 years to make way for farms and roads. As the forests have vanished, so have the pandas.
An additional problem for the panda is the periodic mass death of the bamboo after it flowers. Different species flower and die at different times. Pandas have adapted by switching the species they eat. However, as their habitats become smaller and more fragmented, this is not always possible. Poaching(偷猎) also takes its toll on (伤害) the panda．Although only a very few pandas are deliberately poached each year, they are accidentally trapped by the huge wire snares(陷阱)used to poach musk deer and black bears for the medicinal trade.
So, the Giant Panda, once widespread throughout China, is now confined to just three provinces of China．The wild population totals fewer than 1,000 in 24 fragmented groups. There are less than 100 in one group.
41．Supposing a panda weighs 30kgs, how much bamboo will it eat in a month ?
A. at least 360 kg B. about 10．5kg C. about 330 kg D. about 12kg
42．How many reasons for the panda’s disappearing have been mentioned in the passage?
A. 2 B. 3 C. 4 D. 5
43. Which of the following is not the reason that causes the decrease of the number of Giant Panda?
A. bamboo’s lacking of nutrients B. large-scale logging
C. mass death of the bamboo D. poaching
44. What does the underlined word “devastated” mean according to the context?
A. burned B. destroyed C. cut D. used
45. What might the writer go on writing after this passage?
A. The present number of the panda left B. Some other factors affect the pandas’ habitat.
C. Why we should protect pandas. D. Measures taken to protect the Giant Pandas
B
Once the corals along the shores of the Israeli Red Sea resort of Eilat were a hot spot for divers drawn by one of the most beautiful and biologically different reefs in the world.
Today Eilat’s corals are facing extinction(灭绝) and the colorful fish are disappearing because of the fish-farm industry in the region’s waters. “It was one of the most beautiful reefs in the world, and it’s really very painful to see it dying,” said Professor Yossi Loya, an internationally famous coral ecologist. He and other experts say Eilat’s reefs will soon be destroyed unless the government quickly closes companies that breed（养殖） some five million fish a year in cages and are operating without permits（许可证）.
“We are in the 11th hour, the very last moment to save them,” said Loya, who has studied Eilat’s reefs for tens of years.
The fish firms refuse any direct link with the coral decline. In fact the most serious damage began in 1993 after fish companies started mass production. At the time, the reefs should have regenerated（再生） as a sewage plant began to treat Eilat’s waste.
“What happened between 1993 and 2000 is that there was an exponential increase(指数倍增长) in the growth of fish cages from 300 tons per year to something like 2,000 tons per year, which makes the sea water dark and blocks sunlight which is necessary for coral living. The key point is that the Gulf of Eilat is a sea that does not have nitrogen(氮) at all, the condition of which is suitable for corals,” Loya explained.
46. After reading the passage, we know that in the Israeli Red Sea _______.
A. corals are facing a serious situation
B. reefs are very dangerous to man
C. corals will be more beautiful than ever
D. reefs will grow faster than ever
47. The underlined sentence “We are in the 11th hour” (in Paragraph 3) means that “_______”.
A. It is 11: 00 am
B. We have lasted for 11 hours
C. It is very important and needs to be dealt with immediately
D. There is still enough time for us
48. Facing the corals’ extinction, Yossi Loya feels ______.
A. satisfactory B. angry
C. interested D. painful
49. Which of the following things is necessary for the living of corals?
A. Dark sea water. B. Nitrogen.
C. Sunlight. D. Fish cages.
50. According to the passage, which of the following could be the possible advice to save the corals?
A. Killing all the fish in the sea at once.
B. Building more sewage plants.
C. Limiting the divers in the area.
D. Closing fish-farm companies operating without permits.

Living in a city has both advantages and disadvantages. It is often easier to find work. There are always many choices of public transport. Besides，there are a lot of interesting things to do and places to see. You can eat in good restaurants，visit museums，go to cinemas and go to parks when you want to relax. However，living in a city is often very expensive. You must find a well-paid job，otherwise you will not be able to afford the things you will do. What’s more，the city is always crowded，noisy and dirty. It is very difficult to find a good place where people can enjoy peace and fresh air as in the countryside.

One possible version:
Recently we have had a heated discussion on whether people should keep pets at home in cities.
Some students think it’s a good idea to keep pets because many old people who live alone at home can get some comfort from pets. Besides, getting along well with animals will make our life interesting. On the other hand, the other students are against the idea. In their opinions, if too many people keep pets at home, it is bad for the environment. What is worse, pets may make too much noise and even attack people.
I like animals, so I don’t think it’s bad to keep pets at home. But we must take some measures to prevent them from polluting our environment.
