Ⅱ.阅读理解

A

For many years， environmental problems have been a major concern to people.Almost all things are related to the word “Green”， say， green buildings. A green building means not only the colour of the paint.Also，it refers to environmentally friendly houses，factories and offices.

Green building means “reducing the impact of the building on the land”， Taryn Holowka of the US Green Building Council in Washington D.C.said.According to Holowka，buildings account for 65 percent of total US electricity use.But green buildings can reduce energy and water use.Also，the buildings are often located near public transportation such as buses and subways，so that people can drive their cars less.That could be good for the environment，because cars use lots of gas and give off pollution.Green buildings are often built on developed land，so that the buildings don't destroy forests.

Marty Dettling is the project manager for a building that put these ideas into action.The Solaire has been called the country's first green high­rise building.According to Dettling，“We've reduced our energy use by one­third and our water by 50 percent.”

The Solaire cuts energy in part by using solar power.“On the surface of the building we have solar panels(电池板)which change the sun's energy into electricity，”Dettling explained.

The Solaire also has lights that automatically turn off when people leave the room. In addition，the building has lots of windows，allowing people to use the sun for light during the day.The Solaire cuts water by reusing it.

Not everyone is eager to move into a green building，however.Some people think that things like solar panels cost more money than more traditional energy source.Anyhow，Holowka said，“It is going to take off.”

1.“A green building” most refers to a(n)　　　　building according to the passage.

A.not ripe or modern

B.covering green color

C.environmentally friendly

D.fresh or new

的”，故选C项。

EXCEPT that　　　　.

A.they can reduce energy and water use in many ways

B.they are often built on an area of land which has already been used for buildings

C.people can collect energy from sunlight to heat water and produce electricity

D.they are equipped with lots of modern but cheaper equipment

解析：细节归纳题。由最后一段第二句可知，D项表述有误，故选D项。

答案：D

3.According to the passage，green buildings don't usually stand on faraway and

inconvenient areas because　　　　.

A.the places will cause a lot of trouble and inconvenience to construction work

B.cars will give off more pollution and more forests will be destroyed

C.the environment of the places is not better than that of big cities

护森林等方面对环境的有利作用，以及它的发展前景，故选D项。

答案：D

B

It's impolite to spit out the first bite of your dinner.But to a type of Australian snake，this rude behavior is a matter of life and death.

The snake，called a floodplain death adder(蝰蛇)，eats two types of frogs that are hard to stomach. The frogs produce chemicals to defend them from predators(猎食者).

One of these species，the Dahl's frog，can kill a snake that tries to eat it.The other species，the marbled frog，is less dangerous but still tough to eat.When attacked，it produces a glue like substance.Leaves and branches get caught up in this material，making a big sticky mess that gets in the way of anything trying to swallow it.A marbled frog can even get stuck on the head of an attacking snake.

 Both frogs have good defense methods.But the floodplain death adder knows how to get around each of them.

 Floodplain death adders quickly strike these frogs，using their poisonous teeth to inject poison.But then， instead of swallowing their dinner immediately， the snakes sit back and wait for their preys to become safe to eat.That's because both the Dahl's frog's protective toxin(毒素) and the marbled frog's glue break down over time.After a while，the frog toxin is no longer poisonous and the glue is no longer sticky.

The two substances break down at different rates，and floodplain death adders seem to know the difference.An adder waits for a different length of time depending on the species of frog it just struck.

 The stickiness of the marbled frog glue decreased by as much as two­thirds after just 10 minutes.And that's just about how long an adder waits before eating a marbled frog.

On the other hand，the snakes wait for about 40 minutes before eating a Dahl's frog.That's enough time for the frog's toxin to break down into harmless substances.

But even a quick strike gives a taste of the Dahl's frog's toxin.After striking such a frog，a floodplain death adder thrashes(翻腾) around and lies on its back with its mouth open.It's like the snake has just had a mouthful of chili pepper.

By comparison，when given frogs that have no chemical defenses，floodplain death adders eat their prey immediately after striking.Snakes，despite the fact that they've got this tiny pea­size  brain are clearly capable of recognizing what kind of frog they've bitten.

语篇解读：本文将带领同学们来到神秘的澳洲，去看一看澳大利亚蝰蛇如何聪明地在既吃到美味，又避免中毒的情况下捕食毒蛙。

5.What's the best title of the passage？

A.A dangerous meal

B.A snake—floodplain death adder

C.Two types of frogs—Dahl's Frog and Marbled Frog

D.The method  of killing frogs

解析：考查主旨大意。文章通篇讲解蝰蛇如何捕食。其他几项过于片面。

答案：A

6.The underlined word “it” in the 3rd paragraph refers to the　　　　.

A.marbled frog　　　　　　B.Dahl's frog

C.floodplain death adder     D.glue

解析：细节考查题。把文章第三段中when attacked补充完整应为when the marbled

frog is attacked， it produces a glue like substance.由此可知，it应为the marbled

frog。

答案：A

7.The glue produced by the marbled frog is used for　　　　.

A.sticking the snake's head

B.making a safe place to live in

C.preventing anything from trying to attack it

D.killing an attacking snake

解析：细节理解题。结合第二段和第三段可知，the marbled frog分泌的粘液主要用于

防御，避免自己被猎食者吃掉。

答案：C

8.What's the floodplain death adder's method to make the frogs safe to eat ？

A.They thrash around with their mouths open.

B.They sit back and wait for their preys to become safe to eat.

C.They inject poison on the preys and wait for the breaking down of their toxin and

glue before eating them.
