A Life with Birds
For nearly 17 years David Cope has worked as one of the Tower of London's Yeoman Warders, (1) better known to tourists as beefeaters. David, 64, lives in a three-bedroomed flat right at the (2) top of the Byward Tower, one of the gatehouses. “(3) From our bedroom we have a marvellous view of Tower Bridge and the Thames.” says David.
The Tower of London is famous (4) for its ravens, the large black birds which have lived there for over three centuries. David was immediately fascinated by the birds and when he was (5) offered the post of Raven Master eight years ago he had no (6) hesitation in accepting it. "The birds have now become my life and I'm always (7) aware of the fact that I am (8) maintaining a tradition. The legend says that if the ravens leave the Tower, England will fall to enemies, and it's my job to (9) make sure this doesn't happen!"
David (10) devotes about four hours a day to the care of the ravens. He has grown to love them and the (11) fact that he lives right next to them is ideal. “I can (12) keep a close eye on them all the time, and not just when I'm working.” (13) At first, David's wife Mo was not (14) keen on the idea of life in the Tower, but she too will be sad to leave when he retires next year. “When we look out of our windows, we see history (15) all around us, and we are taking it in and storing it up for our future memories.”

第一篇 有鳥陪伴的生活
作為倫敦塔的守衛(wèi)者之一David Cope在那里工作了近17年,被游客們稱為beefeaters。David,64歲,生活在Byward塔頂部的一個三居室的單元里,一個警衛(wèi)室。 David說:“從我們的臥室看去,我們可以看到倫敦塔橋和泰晤士河的一個美好景色。”
倫敦塔以大黑色的鳥—烏鴉而著名,它們已經(jīng)在那里生活了三個多世紀。David立刻被這種鳥迷住了,當(dāng)他在八年前被提供烏鴉主人的職位時他毫不猶豫地接受了它。“這種鳥類現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)成為我的生命,我總是警覺到我在保持一個傳統(tǒng)。傳說中說,如果烏鴉離開倫敦塔,英國將落到敵人手中,我的工作就是確保這種情況不會發(fā)生!”
David每天大約用四個小時的時間來護理烏鴉。他已經(jīng)愛上了它們,而他緊挨在它們的旁邊生活是最佳選擇。“我可以在所有的時間內(nèi)密切關(guān)注它們,不僅僅是在工作的時候。”起初,David的妻子Mo對生活在塔里的想法并不熱衷,但David明年即將退休,她要離開時也會很傷心。“當(dāng)我們透過我們的窗口向外看,我們看到歷史環(huán)繞在我們身邊,我們正接受它并為我們未來的記憶存儲它。”
Global Warming
Few people now question the reality of global warming and its effects on the world's climate. Many scientists (1) put the blame for recent natural disasters on the increase (2) in the world's temperatures and are convinced that, more than (3) ever before, the Earth is at (4) risk from the forces of the wind, rain and sun. (5) According to them, global warming is making extreme weather events, (6) such as hurricanes and droughts, even more (7) severe and causing sea levels all around the world to (8) rise.
Environmental groups are putting (9) pressure on governments to take action to reduce the (10) amount of carbon dioxide which is given (11) off by factories and power plants, thus attacking the problem at its source. They are in (12) favour of more money being spent on research into solar, wind and wave energy devices, which could then replace existing power (13) stations.
Some scientists, (14) however believe that even if we stopped releasing carbon dioxide and other gases into the atmosphere tomorrow, we would have to wait (15) several hundred years to notice the results. Global warming, it seems, is here to stay.

全球變暖
現(xiàn)在很少有人質(zhì)疑全球變暖的現(xiàn)實及其對世界氣候的影響。許多科學(xué)家把全球氣溫上升歸咎于最近的自然災(zāi)害,他們確信,地球現(xiàn)在比以往任何時候都更受到風(fēng)、雨和太陽這些力量的威脅。據(jù)他們說,全球變暖制造了極端天氣事件,例如颶風(fēng)、干旱,甚至更為嚴重的以至于世界各地的海平面上升。
環(huán)保團體對政府施加壓力,要求政府采取行動減少工廠和發(fā)電廠排放的二氧化碳量,攻擊它的資源問題。他們都贊成把更多的資金用到研發(fā)太陽能、風(fēng)能和波浪能裝置上,以取代現(xiàn)有的發(fā)電站。
然而,還有一些科學(xué)家,他們相信即使明天我們不再排放二氧化碳和其他氣體到大氣層中,我們也將不得不等待幾百年才能得到結(jié)果。全球變暖似乎要在這里停留。

注釋:
1.It is hard to get people to think of sharks as anything but a deadly enemy:要讓人們相信鯊魚不是(人類的)死敵不是一件容易的事。 anything but意為“決不,遠非”,如: His performance in London is anything but a success.(她在倫敦的演出完全不成功。)

13. A recover B reform C return D rely
14. A rivers B oceans C forests D mountains
15. A weak B little C few D great
答案與題解:
1.A 本題應(yīng)選擇 attack,因為第一句說到:人們認為鯊魚是 a deadly enemy,也就是說鯊魚會對人類造成傷害。第二句是對 deadly enemy的具體說明。其他的三個選項 meet,love,visit都不合適, love與上下文意思相反, meet和 visit與上下文意思不符。
2.C 空格 2所在的句子由 but連接,所以該句子表達的意思一定與第二句相反。第二句對鯊魚的評價是負面的,填入空格 2的詞應(yīng)該是正面的。四個選項中只有 valuable符合這一條件,所以是答案。
3.B 第三句說到鯊魚有益于 “waters and human beings”,第五句又說到鯊魚瀕臨滅絕的危險。根據(jù)上下文的意思,threatening(威脅)到它們的應(yīng)該是 existence(生存)。其他的三個選項 source,friends,fish都不合適,與上下文意思沒有聯(lián)系。
4.D 如果鯊魚消失,從什么地方消失呢 ?當(dāng)然從 earth(地球)上消失。從 space(宇宙空間)、 sky(天空)
中消失,或從 land(陸地)上消失,都有悖常理。
5.C 四個選項的意思都是 “因為“,但是從用法上分析, because、since和 by reason that之后要接句子, because of之后接名詞或名詞短語。 their warm waters是名詞短語,所以要選用 because of。
6.D “… people also swim”明顯是定語從句,其先行詞是表示地點的名詞 area,所以要選關(guān)系副詞 where。
7.B 從上下文判斷,本句的意思是:鯊魚將人錯認為是海洋動物。而“將……錯認為是 ”的英語表達是 mistake … for,所以本題的答案是選項 B。
8.A 本段的意思是:鯊魚并非故意襲擊人類。人們認為,由于鯊魚將人錯認為是海獅等海洋動物,在饑餓時才襲擊人類。日出和日落時,正是鯊魚饑腸轆轆的時候,人們不應(yīng)該出海游泳?崭 8填入的詞應(yīng)該與時間有關(guān),所以 times是答案,而與地點有關(guān)的選項( places seas和 oceans)與上下文意思脫節(jié)。
9.C 本段第一、二句是說,鯊魚的嗅覺特別靈敏,能嗅到海水中存在的極為微量的氣味。作者舉了三個物質(zhì):血、體液和化學(xué)品?崭 9要填入表示物質(zhì)的名詞。四個選項中惟一表達物質(zhì)的詞是 chemicals(化學(xué)品)。所以 chemicals是答案,而其它三個選項與學(xué)科有關(guān),脫離了上下文的意思,不是本題的`答案。
10.B 在第一、二句意思的基礎(chǔ)上,作者進一步說明,靈敏的嗅覺有助于鯊魚找到食物。所以本題的答案是選項 D的 senses,因為 feelings,touches和 tastes都與 smells無關(guān)。
11.D 本句的中心詞是復(fù)數(shù)的 sharks,another所修飾的名詞一般是單數(shù),所以不會是答案。 these和 those是表特指的代詞,指代前面出現(xiàn)過的名詞。由于前面沒有先行詞,所以也不可能是答案。剩下的 other是答案, any other sharks的說法也合乎英語的用法。
12.A 從上下文判斷,醫(yī)學(xué)研究人員想要更多了解的是 “身體抗病 system(系統(tǒng)) ”,不會是 “身體抗病 idea(思想)”、“身體抗病工作( work)”或“身體抗病 circle(周期) ”。
13.A 本段昀后一句的意思是:醫(yī)學(xué)研究人員研究鯊魚的目的是為了找到一種人類抗病的方法。所以空格 l3所在句子的意思應(yīng)該是 recover(quickly from injuries)?茖W(xué)家想要探索的應(yīng)該是有關(guān)受傷鯊魚 recover quickly from injuries的秘密,而 reform(改造)、 return(回歸)和 rely(依靠)只是與答案 recover詞形上有點相似而已,其意思與上下文的意思風(fēng)馬牛不相及。
14.B 從上下文判斷,鯊魚的存在能使 oceans得益。鯊魚不生活在 rivers、forests或 mountains中,所以,這三個選項不會是答案。
15.D 本段的其余三句都是說明為什么鯊魚有益于海洋。它們吃海洋動物,結(jié)果使得海洋中的動物數(shù)量不會過多。 weak、little、few都與上面表達的意思相反,所以,只有 great是答案。
