A
Some of Beijing Zoo’s animals are suffering menu changes because of the bird flu spread in Asia.
Gone are the lions’ and tigers’ delightful “live” chicken dinners. In their menu , instead , are raw beef and mutton. While the lions and tigers go chickenless, the zoo’s birds are also receiving some special and uncomfortable treatment these days. The peacocks in Badaling Safari Animal World, who used to be featured in the park and could walk around showing off their beautiful feathers, now are forced to stay in cages.
And turkeys at the Beijing Zoo—believed to be most likely to suffer from the bird flu virus —have been moved out of their old home to places separate from visitors. In most cases, display areas with birds have been closed for health reasons.
Yet a good thing about the present situation is that the living conditions of the zoo’s birds are being improved , with keepers keeping the display areas cleaner and not as crowded as before . Almost all zoos have done more frequent cleaning and disinfection for bird cages —measures to prevent infection.
lovers use balconies (阳台)to build cages for birds . Most neighbours are fed up with these cages since they can produce waste and feathers . Now the city’s homing pigeon organization is asking all its members to stop letting pigeons out of their cages and keep cages clean. Still, pigeons and some other birds seem less lovely to people than before.
As a Chinese newspaper put it : “Doves , are you still angels ?” 1. Which of the following shows the menu changes in the Beijing Zoo?
A. The lions and tigers have “live” chicken dinners. B. The lions and tigers eat raw beef and mutton. C. The lions and tigers have chickens only for supper.
D. The lions and tigers have beef and mutton for part of meals.
答案解析：答案为B。本题为细节题。从第二段第一、二句 “Gone are the lions’ and tigers’ delightful “live” chicken dinners. In their menu , instead , are raw beef and mutton.”可知，狮子和老虎不再享受活鸡的美餐，而是吃生牛肉和羊肉。故答案为B。 2. We can conclude from the text that
A. turkeys have been moved out of the zoo because of the bird flu virus B. peacock shows used to be free of charge
C. people can hardly see peacock shows in the Beijing Zoo now D. homing pigeons are safe from the bird flu virus
答案解析：答案为C。本题为细节推理题。从第二段的最后一句话 “The peacocks in Badaling Safari Animal World,…, now are forced to stay in cages.”可知，孔雀现在被关在笼子里，因此人们几乎在北京动物园看不到它们了。故答案为C。 3. The underlined sentence in the text means “”. A. pigeons receive the best care C. people feel displeased with pigeons
B. people are worried about pigeons D. people show no interest in pigeons
答案解析：答案为C。本题为句意推断题。本句出现在倒数第二段的首句，也是该段的中心句(topic sentence)。结合后文 “Most neighbours are fed up with these cages ... Still, pigeons and some other birds seem less lovely to people than before”可知，人们受够了鸽子，并且鸽子和其他的鸟儿也似乎没有以往那么可爱了。这些细节都是在证明首句的中心句，表达的意思是人们对鸽子感到不愉快。故答案为C。
B
Chemicals used for industrial processes often create dangerous forms of waste. The amount of these chemicals has risen heavily in the past few years, as more areas of the world industrialize and new products are produced. Over 80,000 different chemicals are used in industries world-wide. Around the world hundreds of millions of tons of harmful waste are produced each year. Often, it is difficult and expensive to get rid of these chemicals or to store them in a way that does not endanger human life and the environment.
Every year, major health problems result from harmful waste. Sadly, it is often after someone has died or, become seriously ill that governments will take actions and reduce levels of dumped(倾倒的)harmful waste. In 1989, a school in New Jersey had to be closed because students there had suffered too much exposure(暴露)to chromium(铬). It was later learned that large amounts of chromium had been dumped nearby and blown over to the school area.
Research has been done to provide information on the effects of every chemical. Because waste chemicals often mix together, it will also be necessary to learn how the combinations of these chemicals affect human health.
Some governments have realized how serious the problem is and are making laws to get rid of harmful waste. They are also trying to limit the amount of waste industries are allowed to produce.
Not only governments but the public as well must form part of the solution. They can choose not to buy those products which require the production of harmful waste, attempt to affect policymakers, and produce less harmful waste themselves. Many scientists think that waste production can be cut. The waste can be reduced by at least one-third using existing technologies and methods.
1. What is mainly discussed in the text?
A. The effect of every chemical.
C. Chemicals used for industrial processes.
B. Problems of harmful waste. D. Events related to waste chemicals.
答案解析：答案为B。本题为主旨大意题。文章先陈述工业生产过程中使用化学物产生的有害垃圾所导致的问题，并举例证明，最后探讨解决这一问题的方案。在第一段的首句 “Chemicals used for industrial processes often create dangerous forms of waste.”和最后一句 “Often, it is difficult and expensive to get rid of these chemicals or to store them in a way that does not endanger human life and the environment.”都是在指出有害垃圾这一严峻的问题。故答案为B。 2. From the text we know that
A. chromium can poison people when there is a wind
B. chromium pollution makes the local government close the school
C. some governments don’t realize how serious the problems are until people suffer a lot
from harmful waste
D. about two-thirds of the waste can pollute the environment
答案解析：答案为C。本题为细节推理题。从第二段的第三句话 “In 1989, a school in New Jersey had to be closed because students there had suffered too much exposure(暴露)to chromium(铬).”可知，学校不得不被迫关闭是由于学生暴露在倾倒的垃圾铬之中，生命受到了威胁，故答案为C “ 直到人们饱受有害废弃垃圾的危害，政府才意识到问题的严重性。B选项只是文章的细节，属于表面现象;C选项真正概括了问题的本质，是通过细节推理出的总结性答案。故选C。
从第二段的最后一句话 “It was later learned that large amounts of chromium had been dumped nearby and blown over to the school area.”可知，铬威胁着人的生命是由于 “dumped nearby and blown over” 即 “倾倒而被风吹拂”, 而不仅仅由于风，故A选项错误。D选项与文章最后一句话 “The waste can be reduced by at least one-third using existing technologies and methods.”不符。
3. Which of the following least matches the solution the writer refers to?
A. Chemicals used for industrial processes should be banned.
B. People can make use of the existing technologies and methods to reduce the waste. C. Policymakers make laws to limit the production of harmful waste. D. People choose not to buy products which may produce harmful waste.
答案解析：答案为A。本题考查作者的观点态度。解答此题需看清题意 “哪个选项与作者提到的解决方案最不匹配?” 从文章的最后一段最后一句话 “The waste can be reduced by at least one-third using existing technologies and methods.” 可知，B选项正确;从最后一段 “They can choose not to buy those products which require the production of harmful waste, attempt to affect policymakers, and produce less harmful waste themselves.” 可知，作者的态度是号召政府与公众不买生产有害垃圾的产品;政策制定者可以生产较少的有害垃圾，而非禁止工业生产过程中使用化学物品。故C、D是正确的，A选项与作者的态度最不匹配。
4. The writer of the text thinks that
A. governments should have forbidden the production of waste chemicals B. mixed waste chemicals can always be stored without endangering people C. industries must not produce waste chemicals which harm people so much D. everyone can do something to help solve the problem of waste chemicals
答案解析：答案为D。本题考查作者的观点态度。结合上题分析，作者认为应该限制和减少有害化学物的生产，而不是A选项的禁止，也不是C选项的不允许生产，故A、C不正确;B选项在文章中未提及， always 一词也使得该选项太绝对，故不选。只有D选项才是作者的观点：人人都可以帮助解决有害化学物的问题。故答案为D。
