26、 so shut away inside himself. Try as I did, I could not reach him. Then one day I was in the kitchen here, when I saw him hurrying down the hill, waving his stick and shouting to me. “Ive got it,” he cried, as he came in, “Ive got it at last.” He showed me the end of his stick. It was white. “See th

27、at, Millie?” “Chalk! Its chalk underground, isnt it?”“So?” I said. “You know the famous White Horse on the hillside at Uffington, the one they carved (雕刻) out of the chalk a thousand years ago? That horse never died, did it? Its still alive, isnt it? Well, thats what were going to do, so he will nev

28、er be forgotten. Well carve the White Prince out on the hillside hell be there forever, and hell be white forever too. ”“Itll take a bit of time, wont it?” I said. “Weve got plenty, havent we?” he replied, with the same smile he had smiled at me when he was a ten-year-old boy asking me if he could c

29、ome back and mend my kite for me. Every spare hour we had, we were up there scraping (刨土) away with spades (鏟子), and we had buckets (桶) to carry away the earth. It was hard, back-breaking work, but it was a labour of love. We did it, Bertie and I, we did it together paws, claws, tail, mane, until he

30、 was complete and perfect in every detail. It was just after wed finished that the butterflies first came. We noticed that when the sun comes out after the rain in the summer, the butterflies Adonis Blues, they are, I looked them up come out to drink on the chalk face. Then the White Prince becomes

31、a butterfly lion, and breathes again like a living creature. So now you know how Berties white lion became the White Prince and how the White Prince became our butterfly lion.

34、epped back as a young Tasmanian devil (袋獾) named Oddity came out. Oddity took a cautious look around and then ran into the forest on Maria Island.Wise is a wildlife scientist from the Save the Tasmanian Devil Program. The scientists working with this program study Tasmanian devils, monitor their hea

35、lth, and track the devils found in the wild. Oddity and 14 others were raised in a reserve and then brought to Maria Island to be released (釋放) into the wild. Though they are raised in zoos all over the world, devils live wild only in Tasmania. They are important to the ecosystem because they eat de

36、ad animals they find, which helps clean up the environment. Devils also eat animals such as wallabies, wombats, and possums, helping to keep those populations balanced. But a cancer called Devil Facial Tumor Disease (DFTD) is killing devils on mainland Tasmania, endangering the species (物種). The goa

37、l of the scientists who released Oddity and the others was to create a population of disease-free Tasmanian devils on Maria Island. Oddity is a part of this “insurance population” of devils raised in zoos and wildlife reserves. This means if the facial disease causes the Tasmanian devils to die out

38、in the wild, devils like Oddity can be sent back into disease-free areas of Tasmania, giving devils a chance to survive.The scientists chose Maria Island for the release because there is no DFTD there. It is separated from mainland Tasmania by the ocean. Devils from the rest of Tasmania cant get the

39、re, which prevents the facial disease from spreading. Oddity started his new life on Maria Island. Life on this island off the coast of Tasmania was a big change for Oddity and the others. These devils had little experience with other kinds of animals and had to explore the land and find new bones.

40、Wise and his fellow scientists monitored Oddity and the 14 other Tasmanian devils. The animals did so well that 13 more devils were released. The 28 original Tasmanian devils have reproduced; there are now around 80 devils. They are doing well on Maria Island, and the plan is considered a success. W

41、ise says he is “extremely happy to know that animals are getting a chance to be free in the wild in an area that is free of DFTD. It is the ultimate aim of all who work to conserve endangered species.”34. Why did Wise and his team release the Tasmanian devils like Oddity to Maria Island?A To prevent

42、 DFTD killing Tasmanian devils out.B. To find out a treatment for DFTD.C. To control the DFTD spread on mainland Tasmania.D. To protect Maria Island from DFTD.35. What probably made Maria Island chosen for the release?A. Its rich wildlife.B. Its geographic location.C. Its natural resources.D. Its im

43、proved ecosystem.36. How was the released Tasmanian devils life?A. Their safety was uncertain.B. Their number was going up.C. They hardly enjoyed freedom.D. They got well again from DFTD.37. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. A program studying Tasmanian devils.B. A disease attacking Tasmani

44、an devils.C. A step to save Tasmanian devils.D. A perfect place for Tasmanian devils.第II卷 客觀題（共50分）四、詞匯運(yùn)用（本大題共8小題，每小題1分，共8分）(A) 根據(jù)句意和漢語注釋，寫出單詞的正確形式。38.

Traditional artists always did their artwork in a studio and their paintings were realistic they looked exactl

50、y like the real world. Claude Monet was part of a group of painters who were called Impressionists (印象派畫家). Their paintings were light and a bit fuzzy they gave an impression of what the real world looked like. Sometimes Impressionists worked outside, which was a very unusual thought in their time.

51、Impressionism received its name from an early painting by Claude Monet titled Impression, Sunrise. Knowing that trains were interesting subjects and represented modern progress, Claude Monet created a series of Impressionist paintings of trains from January to March of 1877. He worked on his paintin

52、gs right on the train platform at the Gare Saint Lazare, the train station on Saint Lazare Street. Although there were many train stations in Paris, this was the first train station built in Paris so it had historical significance.Monets friend, Impressionist painter Pierre Auguste Renoir, told the

53、following story to his sons about Claude Monet and painting the trains. Monet needed permission to spend time on the train platform and paint what he saw in his impressionistic style. One day Monet dressed himself in his very best suit along with a fine top hat, a good linen shirt and a silk tie. He

54、 appeared to be a wealthy gentleman while he really was a poor painter.When he went towards the clerk at the train office, he presented his calling card which introduced him as Claude Monet, Painter. He asked to see the station master. The clerk quickly allowed this fine gentleman to enter the station masters office. The station master was also impressed and gave Monet permission to paint on the train platform. The station master even kept trains from leaving on time so Monet could complete a scene even though passengers complained.Was it all wor
