2、Becky Higginbotham, were in the vehicle. On their way home from a trip along the coast, the family got lost in the mountains at an elevation of about 3,800 feet. Whats worse, they were trapped in four feet of snow.“We had fuel and food, but we were running short,” said Elbert Higginbotham. “We were
3、rationing (定量配给).” When the family was reported missing, rescue teams from Oregon and California searched likely routes to the coast. But with no leads and no idea where the family was heading, those conducting the unsuccessful search eventually called it off.In the evenings, Sab and Gab entertained
4、 the adults by reading jokes from Readers Digest aloud. The family members survived mostly on dehydrated (脱水的) food.On Monday, Hill Stivers and her busband decided to go for help. They packed a tent, wool blankets, tuna fish, honey, and hand-warmers to take into the wilderness with them. The childre
5、n stayed safe in the RV with their grandparents.The couple were found the following day by a US Bureau (局) of Land Management worker. A rescue team in a helicopter located the rest of the family. The family was driven out of the snowbound area on snow machines. Parents and children were happily reun
6、ited.“They enjoyed it,” Peter Stivers said of his childrens experience. “They didnt know we were in trouble.” For the adults, it was quite an ordeal (考验). They had to worry about survival and rescue, and about keeping everyone calm. “Im so proud of my family,” said Elbert Higginbotham. “They stuck t
7、ogether. They didnt lose it.”1What was the major cause of the familys bad situation?AThey ran short of fuel.BIt snowed heavily.CThey couldnt find their way.DTheir RV couldnt move in the snow.2Which of the following can NOT be learned from the passage?AThe rescue search failed for lack of necessary c
8、lues.BThe children felt no fear when the family were trapped.COn Tuesday, the couple were found by a rescue worker.DThe adults performed well in the face of trouble.3This passage was probably chosen from a newspapers column of .AJournalBEnvironmentCNewsDExplorationAnimals can move from place to plac
9、e, but plants cannot. When an animal is under attack, it can run away or fight back. Plants certainly cannot run away, and they lack teeth and claws. But plants can defend themselves by using both physical and chemical means.Some plants have their own ways to keep animals away. For example, the leav
10、es of the holly (冬青)plant have sharp spines (刺)that discourage grass-eating animals. Holly leaves on lower branches have more spines than leaves on upper branches. This is because the lower leaves are easier for most animals to reach.Some plants, such as the oak tree, have thick and hard leaves that
11、 are difficult for animals to eat. Some grasses may contain a sandy material; eating such grasses wears down the animals teeth.Many plants also have chemical defenses. Some plants produce chemicals that taste biter or cause an unpleasant reaction. Some plants may fight against an attack by increasin
12、g the production of these chemicals. When a caterpillar (毛虫)bites a tobacco leaf, the leaf produces a chemical messenger. This messenger sends to the roots the information to produce more nicotine. The higher levels of nicotine discourage the caterpillar.Many plants depend on both physical and chemi
13、cal defenses. A certain plant in China, for instance, has prickly (多刺的) leaves, and each prickle contains poisonous venom (毒液). A single experience with this kind of plant will teach an animal to stay away from it in the future.4To defend themselves, oak trees use .Asharp spines.Btough leaves.Cbitte

Progress
16、in this direction is slow because shooting is not a sport for watching, and only those few who take par realize the cruelty and destruction.The number of gunners, however, grows rapidly. Children too young to develop proper judgments through independent thought are led a long way away by their gunni
17、ng parents. They are subjected to advertisements of gun producers who describe shooting as good for their health and gun-carrying as a way of putting redder blood in the veins（血管）. They are persuaded by gunner magazines with stories honoring the chase and the kill. In school they view motion picture
18、s which are supposedly meant to teach them how to deal with arms safely but which are actually designed to stimulate（刺激）a desire to own a gun.Wildlife is disappearing because of shooting and because of the loss of wildland habitat Habitatloss will continue with our increasing population, but can we
19、slow the loss of wildlife caused by shooting? There doesnt seem to be any chance if the serious condition of our birds is not improved. Wildlife belongs to everyone and not to the gunners alone. Although most people do not shoot, they seem to forgive shooting for sport because they know little or no
20、thing about it. The only answer, then, is to bring the truth about sport shooting to the great majority of people.Now, it is time to realize that animals have the same right to life as we do and that there is nothing fair or right about a person with a gun shooting the harmless and beautiful creatur
21、es. The gunners like to describe what they do as character-building, but we know that to wound an animal and watch it go through the agony of mortality can make nobody happy. If, as they would have you believe, gun-carrying and killing improve human character, then perhaps we should encourage war.7A
22、ccording to the text, most people do not seem to be against hunting because .Athey have little knowledge of it.Bit helps to build human character.Cit is too costly to stop killing wildlife.Dthey want to keep wildlife under control.8The underlined word “agony” in the last paragraph probably means .Ad

24、age war”, the writer intends to tell us that .AHunting to build human character makes no sense.BWar in the best way to improve human character.CWe are on the edge of war against gunners.DProtecting wildlife from gunners is extremely difficult.二、七选五My driving journey behind the wheelDuring this pande
