[2015·重慶一中一診]The African elephant, the largest land animal remaining on earth, is of great importance to African ecosystem (生態(tài)系統(tǒng)). Unlike other animals, the African elephant is to a great extent the builder of its environment. As a big planteater, it largely shapes the forestandsavanna (稀樹草原) surroundings in which it lives, therefore setting_the_terms of existence for millions of other animals that live in its habitat (棲息地).
It is the elephant's great desire for food that makes it a disturber of the environment and an important builder of its habitat. In its continuous search for the 300 pounds of plants it must have every day, it kills small trees and underbushes, and pulls branches off big trees. This results in numerousopen spaces in both deep tropical forests and in the woodlands that cover part of the African savannas. In these open spaces are numerous plants in various stages of growth that attract a variety of other plant eaters.
Take the rain forests for example. In their natural state, the spreading branches overhead shut out sunlight and prevent the growth of plants on the forest floor. By pulling down trees and eating plants, elephants make open spaces, allowing new plants to grow on the forest floor. In such situations，the forests become suitable for large hoofed plant eaters to move around and for small plant eaters to get their food as well.
What worries scientists now is that the African elephant has become an endangered species. If the elephant disappears, scientists say, many other animals will also disappear from vast areas of forest and savanna, greatly changing and worsening the whole ecosystem.

A.They result from the destruction of rain forests.
B.They provide food mainly for African elephants.
C.They are home to many endangered animals.
D.They are attractive to planteating animals of different kinds.

譯文：正是大象對食物的欲望使它成為環(huán)境的破壞者和棲息地的修建者。
仿寫：It_was_the_culture_rather_than_the_language_that made it hard for him to adapt to the new environment abroad.
是文化而不是語言，使他很難適應國外的新環(huán)境。
B
[2015·西安下學期月考] With the development of society, the choice of food and drinks for children is more diversified than ever before. However, every coin has two sides. Many facts suggest that children are overweightand the situation is getting worse, according to the statistics. I feel there are a number of reasons for this.
Some people blame the fact that we are surroundedby shops selling unhealthy，fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation of grownups who seldom cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants then probably children would buy less takeaway food.
There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I agree to this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed to choose what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, and this will carry on throughout their lives.
There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime (消遣), it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food. What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.
The above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active, as well as guiding them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.
本文是健康類短文，本文第一段是一個中心段，提出兒童肥胖的問題，在2,3,4段中分別給出一個原因。在文章最后一段進行了總結提出了解決問題的方法。
5.What is suggested by the author to deal with “overw- eight”?
A.Blaming the shops selling unhealthy and fatty foods.
B.Asking young children to walk to school every day.
C.Living an active life and removing bad eating habits.
D.Not watching TV or playing computer games after school.
答案：C 考查推理判斷。根據(jù)文章最后一段“The above are the main reasons for this problem, and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active, as well as guiding them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.”可知作者給出的建議是要過著更為積極的生活而且要把一些不好的飲食習慣去除掉。故C項正確。
6.Which of the following shows the structure of the whole text?
答案：B 考查篇章結構。本文第一段是一個中心段，提出兒童肥胖的問題，在2,3,4段中分別給出一個原因。在文章最后一段進行了總結提出了解決問題的方法。屬于總分總的結構，故B正確。
7.The author writes the passage to________.
A.show people a social problem
B.provide facts for government
C.advise solutions to a problem
D.compare opinions with people
答案：C 考查推理判斷。本文先提出一個問題：兒童肥胖;在2,3,4段中分析出現(xiàn)這一問題的原因，最后一段中提出對于這個問題的解決方法。作者寫本文的目的是在于對一個問題的解決方法提出的建議。故C項正確。
8.The underlined word“diversified”in the first paragraph most probably means________.
A.various B.difficult
C.expensive D.available
答案：A 考查推理判斷。根據(jù)本句“With the development of society, the choice of food and drinks for children is more diversified than ever before”可知現(xiàn)在的兒童在食物的選擇方面很豐富，同時也帶來了很大的問題。所以本詞表示的是多種多樣的;亦可根據(jù)diversity來猜測該詞的意思與多樣化有關，故A項正確。
1.overweight adj. 超重的;過重的
2.statistics n. 數(shù)據(jù);統(tǒng)計
3.blame n./v. 責備;歸咎于
4.surround v. 包圍，圍繞
5.unhealthy adj. 不健康的
1.with the development of 隨著……的發(fā)展
2.a number of 許多的;大量的
3.agree to 同意;接受
原文：Not only is this an unhealthy pastime, it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food.(倒裝句)
譯文：這不僅僅是一種不健康的消遣方式，而且也給他們吃更多不健康食物的時間。
仿寫：Not_only_has_she_been_late_three_times_in_the_past_ three_days,_she has also done no work.
她在過去的三天不僅遲到過三次，還沒干一點活。
