Dereck Joubert and his wife, Beverly, have made many films about wild animals in Africa. Their films and photographs are very popular and one of the photographs has been on the front cover of a National Geographic magazine.

　　A working day foe Dereck and Beverly starts very early-at 4:30 in the morning! That's when they get up and start filming. And it's a long day-they often work until 8:30 in the evening. In the winter it's very cold and in the summer it can be 40℃. Dereck always does the filming-Beverly never does that, and she doesn't write. But Dereck never takes photographs or records the sound. They work very well as a team, and they both believe we should shoot animals with cameras-not with guns!

　　When they have finished filming and taking photographs for the day, they have dinner and Dereck usually writes while Beverly looks at her photographs. At night, they usually sleep in a small tent, but they sometimes sleep in the Land Cruiser-when you're very close to wild animals, it's sometimes safer to sleep in the car.

　　Dereck and Beverly have also traveled around the world and given talks about their work. Dereck says that animals are not just something to look at-they play an important role. Beverly thinks the wild animals can teach us a lot about ourselves.

　　51. Dereck and Beverly start working ______.

　　A. at 4:30 in the morning B. at 4:30 in the afternoon

C. at 8:30 in the morning D. at 8:30 in the evening

　　A. are something to look at B. are very popular

　　C. play an unimportant role D. can teach us a lot

　　答案：D

C

　　What do you do if you're stranded（处于困境的）on a lonely island? Surely you need to find a way to get in touch with the outside world. Your best chance of doing this is to draw the attention of a passing plane.

　　Body signals（信号）

　　Pilots from different countries understand body signals if they have the correct training. When you wave your arms up and down in a straight line, it means "yes". When you point downwards and swing your arm from side to side, it means "no". If you want the pilot to know that it's safe to land, push your hands out in front of you and bend（弯曲）your knees. If you want to say that it's not safe to land, put your arms in the air and move them to one side.

　　Smoke signals

　　The smoke from a fire can be seen from far away, so it's a good way to draw attention. If the weather is dry, it isn't hard to start a fire. Remember, however, that fires can be very dangerous if they get out of control. Never light a fire unless you're sure that it can't spread. If the ground is dark, light smoke can be seen more easily. Green grass and leaves produce light smoke.

　　Ground-to-air signals

　　It's a good idea to build some signals, too. Use large pieces of wood to make the symbols(标记). If you can't find any wood, use earth. Some useful symbols are:

　　F "I need food and water."

　　II "I need medicine."

　　I "I am badly hurt."

　　X" I am unable to move from here."

　　Pilots' replies

　　If the pilot lowers the plane's wings from side to side, this means "message received and understood". (At night, the pilot flashes the plane's green lights.) If the pilots flies the plane in a clockwise circle, this means "message received but not understood".(At night, the pilot flashes the plane's red lights.)

However, there is no signal which means "message not received". Why not?

54 Which picture means "it's not safe land"?

　　55. What can we learn from the passage?

　　A. Swinging your arm from side to side means "yes".

　　B. If the ground is dark, light smoke can't be seen.

　　C. If you need some medicine, make a symbol "II".

　　D. The pilots make replies with a blue light at night.

　　56. What is the passage mainly about?

　　A. The explanation of building signals on an island.

　　B. The importance of making signals on an island.

　　C. Ways of sending out signals on a lonely island.

　　D. Ways of receiving signals from a lonely island

　　【解析】

　　54. D。细节题。关键在定位。从选项的图像来看全部是人在做什么什么动作，所以可以推测出答案在body signals这一段找。再通过小技巧-中文出现部分设题概率高，快速看到body signals部分的中文bend(弯曲)，"弯曲"存在的这一句是if you want the pilot to know that it's safe to land, 而题目要求是"it's not safe to land"，所以可以推出答案在下一句中找"if you want to say that it's not safe to land, put your arms in the air and move them to one side."所以答案选D。

　　55. C。细节题。定位找答案。A选项swinging your arm可看出还是body signals 处找答案。第二排出现：when you wave your arms up and down in a straight line, it means "yes."对比选项，选项中说"from side to side"从一边到另一边，而up and down 指的是上上下下，所以A选项不对。B选项出现关键词"light smoke"所以可以知道答案在smoke signals中找，在本段倒数第二句"if the ground is dark, light smoke can be seen more easily."所以B选项属于相反选项设计。C选项的关键词是"II"，文中表示"I need medicine."所以C选项为正确答案。D选项关键词"pilots make replies"所以答案在pilots' replies出找，本段最后一句话：at night, the pilot flashes the plane's red lights.所以D也不对。

　　56. C。主旨题。A为在岛屿上建筑标志的解释，为无关选项。B所在岛上做标记的重要性，也是无关选项。C说在孤岛上发送信号的方式。D是从孤岛上接受信号的方式。某种意义上说C,D是完全相反选项。答案是C.文中叙述的都是如何通知Pilots自己在孤岛上。

D

　　My summer hols wr CWOT. B4, we usd 2 go 2 NY 2C my bro, his CF & thr 3:-@ kids FTF ILNY, its gr8.

　　Can you understand this sentence? If you can't, don't feel too bad: neither could the middle school teacher in England who received this as homework. This is Netspeak: the language of computerized communication found on Internet or cellphones. To newcomers, it can look like a completely foreign language. So, what is the "translation" of the sentence above? My summer holidays were a complete waste of time. Before, we used to go to New York to see my brother, his girlfriend, and their three screaming kids face to face. I love New York; it's great.

　　Schoolteachers and parents say this new form of writing is harming（破坏）the English language. Increasing spelling and grammatical mistakes cxan be seen in students' writing. They fear the language could become corrupted（面目全非的）.

　　Everyone should just relax, say linguists（语言学家）. They believe Netspeak is in fact more of a good thing. David Crystal, from the University of Wales, argues that Netspeak and Internet create a new language use and the almost lost art of diary writing has been picked up again. Geoffrey Nunberg, from Stanford University, agrees. "People get better at writing by writing," he says, "Kids who are now doing text messaging, e-mail, and instant messages will write at least as well as, and possibly better than, their parents."

　　Linguist James Millroy says, for centuries, it is believed without exception that young people are harming the language. And you can bet your bottom dollar that when today's teenagers become tomorrow's parents, they too will think this way. Milroy argues that languages do not and cannot become "corrupted"; they simply change to meet the new needs.

　　However, Netspeakers do agree that it is important to teach young people how to speak and write Standard English. Cynthia McVey says, "I can understand Netspeak worries teachers and it's important that they get across to their pupils that text messaging is for fun, but that learning to write proper English is a must for their future."

　　Perhaps we should give teenagers a little more trust anyway. Erin, age 12, says, "I wouldn't use text language in my homework. Texting is just for fun"

　　57. What is the main purpose of the first paragraph?

　　A. To give an example of a foreign language.

　　B. To show an example of creative methods.

　　C. To express worries about using Netspeak.

　　D. To lead in the topic of Netspeak.

　　答案：D

　　【解析】在审题过程中请大家主语是main purpose而不是 main idea ,第一段就一句话，而且是让人咋看起开一头雾水的句子，这样的句子用在开头，很明显是为了引出下文。或者大家可以运用排除法 文章主要对象是netspeak ,而A，B两项没有提到 netspeak 故排除，又因为C选项在感情色彩上是负面，与原文感情色彩相违背，故答案选择D。

　　58. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

　　A. Cynthia McVey points out teenagers can deal with Netspeak properly.

　　B. Geoffrey Nunberg believes Netspeakers can write Standard English.

　　C. David Crystal thinks Netspeak helps develop the habit of writing.

　　D. James Milroy says that language is changing and improving.

　　答案： C

　　【解析】本题为判断正误题，也叫做细节推断题，解题方法依据选项中的人物专有名词来定位找要点，A定位词为CM在原文倒数第二个自然段出现，其中引号的句子中用了worries与答案中的properly相反，所以排除；B定位词为GN和Standard English.文中出现Standard English.是在倒数第二个自然段与CM相关的信息，所以此选项为典型的张冠李戴；D选项为片面的夸大其辞，文章层面只能看到language is changing，而没有任何细节提到improving，所以根据文章第四自然段可以推断出C为正确选项。

　　59. The expression "bet your bottom dollar" in Paragraph 5 means ______.

　　A. be fairly sure B. be greatly surprised

　　C. think it a pity D. find it interesting

　　答案：A

　　【解析】本题为短语推断题，解题方法 结合上下文逻辑关系，上文提到年轻人会harming 语言，下文接着说当他们成为父母后，they too will think this way .他们也会这么想，那么中间空出一定是强调，并凸显出下文，那么最满足条件的解释是A选项。

　　60. What can be the best title for the passage?

　　A. Netspeak: A Widely-Used Language on Internet

　　B. Is Netspeak Harming the English Language?

　　C. Is Netspeak Helpful in Language Learning?

　　D. Netspeak: Advantages and Disadvantages

　　答案：B

　　【解析】本题为主旨大意题，结合专家的观点，既引号中的句子我们可以断定，全文的中心思想是为了凸显出netspeak的好，A 选项文章没有凸显出widely -used C 选项没有重点提及到language learning D文章观点很鲜明，并不是正反观点的论证，故答案选择B。
