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 有鸟陪伴的生活
作为伦敦塔的守卫者之一David Cope在那里工作了近17年,被游客们称为beefeaters。David,64岁,生活在Byward塔顶部的一个三居室的单元里,一个警卫室。 David说:“从我们的卧室看去,我们可以看到伦敦塔桥和泰晤士河的一个美好景色。”
伦敦塔以大黑色的鸟—乌鸦而著名,它们已经在那里生活了三个多世纪。David立刻被这种鸟迷住了,当他在八年前被提供乌鸦主人的职位时他毫不犹豫地接受了它。“这种鸟类现在已经成为我的生命,我总是警觉到我在保持一个传统。传说中说,如果乌鸦离开伦敦塔,英国将落到敌人手中,我的工作就是确保这种情况不会发生!”
David每天大约用四个小时的时间来护理乌鸦。他已经爱上了它们,而他紧挨在它们的旁边生活是最佳选择。“我可以在所有的时间内密切关注它们,不仅仅是在工作的时候。”起初,David的妻子Mo对生活在塔里的想法并不热衷,但David明年即将退休,她要离开时也会很伤心。“当我们透过我们的窗口向外看,我们看到历史环绕在我们身边,我们正接受它并为我们未来的记忆存储它。”
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.

全球变暖
现在很少有人质疑全球变暖的现实及其对世界气候的影响。许多科学家把全球气温上升归咎于最近的自然灾害,他们确信,地球现在比以往任何时候都更受到风、雨和太阳这些力量的威胁。据他们说,全球变暖制造了极端天气事件,例如飓风、干旱,甚至更为严重的以至于世界各地的海平面上升。
环保团体对政府施加压力,要求政府采取行动减少工厂和发电厂排放的二氧化碳量,攻击它的资源问题。他们都赞成把更多的资金用到研发太阳能、风能和波浪能装置上,以取代现有的发电站。
然而,还有一些科学家,他们相信即使明天我们不再排放二氧化碳和其他气体到大气层中,我们也将不得不等待几百年才能得到结果。全球变暖似乎要在这里停留。

注释:
1.It is hard to get people to think of sharks as anything but a deadly enemy:要让人们相信鲨鱼不是(人类的)死敌不是一件容易的事。 anything but意为“决不,远非”,如: His performance in London is anything but a success.(她在伦敦的演出完全不成功。)

3.sport fishing:捕鱼运动。

14. A rivers B oceans C forests D mountains
15. A weak B little C few D great
答案与题解:
1.A 本题应选择 attack,因为第一句说到:人们认为鲨鱼是 a deadly enemy,也就是说鲨鱼会对人类造成伤害。第二句是对 deadly enemy的具体说明。其他的三个选项 meet,love,visit都不合适, love与上下文意思相反, meet和 visit与上下文意思不符。
2.C 空格 2所在的句子由 but连接,所以该句子表达的意思一定与第二句相反。第二句对鲨鱼的评价是负面的,填入空格 2的词应该是正面的。四个选项中只有 valuable符合这一条件,所以是答案。
3.B 第三句说到鲨鱼有益于 “waters and human beings”,第五句又说到鲨鱼濒临灭绝的危险。根据上下文的意思,threatening(威胁)到它们的应该是 existence(生存)。其他的三个选项 source,friends,fish都不合适,与上下文意思没有联系。
4.D 如果鲨鱼消失,从什么地方消失呢 ?当然从 earth(地球)上消失。从 space(宇宙空间)、 sky(天空)
中消失,或从 land(陆地)上消失,都有悖常理。
5.C 四个选项的意思都是 “因为“,但是从用法上分析, because、since和 by reason that之后要接句子, because of之后接名词或名词短语。 their warm waters是名词短语,所以要选用 because of。
6.D “… people also swim”明显是定语从句,其先行词是表示地点的名词 area,所以要选关系副词 where。
7.B 从上下文判断,本句的意思是:鲨鱼将人错认为是海洋动物。而“将……错认为是 ”的英语表达是 mistake … for,所以本题的答案是选项 B。
8.A 本段的意思是:鲨鱼并非故意袭击人类。人们认为,由于鲨鱼将人错认为是海狮等海洋动物,在饥饿时才袭击人类。日出和日落时,正是鲨鱼饥肠辘辘的时候,人们不应该出海游泳。空格 8填入的词应该与时间有关,所以 times是答案,而与地点有关的选项( places seas和 oceans)与上下文意思脱节。
9.C 本段第一、二句是说,鲨鱼的嗅觉特别灵敏,能嗅到海水中存在的极为微量的气味。作者举了三个物质:血、体液和化学品。空格 9要填入表示物质的名词。四个选项中惟一表达物质的词是 chemicals(化学品)。所以 chemicals是答案,而其它三个选项与学科有关,脱离了上下文的意思,不是本题的`答案。
10.B 在第一、二句意思的基础上,作者进一步说明,灵敏的嗅觉有助于鲨鱼找到食物。所以本题的答案是选项 D的 senses,因为 feelings,touches和 tastes都与 smells无关。
11.D 本句的中心词是复数的 sharks,another所修饰的名词一般是单数,所以不会是答案。 these和 those是表特指的代词,指代前面出现过的名词。由于前面没有先行词,所以也不可能是答案。剩下的 other是答案, any other sharks的说法也合乎英语的用法。
12.A 从上下文判断,医学研究人员想要更多了解的是 “身体抗病 system(系统) ”,不会是 “身体抗病 idea(思想)”、“身体抗病工作( work)”或“身体抗病 circle(周期) ”。
13.A 本段昀后一句的意思是:医学研究人员研究鲨鱼的目的是为了找到一种人类抗病的方法。所以空格 l3所在句子的意思应该是 recover(quickly from injuries)。科学家想要探索的应该是有关受伤鲨鱼 recover quickly from injuries的秘密,而 reform(改造)、 return(回归)和 rely(依靠)只是与答案 recover词形上有点相似而已,其意思与上下文的意思风马牛不相及。
14.B 从上下文判断,鲨鱼的存在能使 oceans得益。鲨鱼不生活在 rivers、forests或 mountains中,所以,这三个选项不会是答案。
15.D 本段的其余三句都是说明为什么鲨鱼有益于海洋。它们吃海洋动物,结果使得海洋中的动物数量不会过多。 weak、little、few都与上面表达的意思相反,所以,只有 great是答案。
