A young emperor penguin won't be getting a free ride all the way back to its Antarctic home，but the bird's human friends in New Zealand will help it to get a little closer.
The penguin is recovering well at Wellington Zoo，where it had a medical procedure on Monday to wash out much of the beach sand it had swallowed apparently mistaking it for snow. It may need a few months to recover，but wildlife officials have been trying to figure out how the
1
3-foot-tall bird will get home.Transporting it to Antarctica is near-impossible in the southern winter，and there are fears that the penguin may have acquired infections in the warmer New Zealand environment that could spread to other penguins.
On Wednesday，a group headed by the Department of Conservation decided officials will help the penguin get part of the way home by releasing it into the Southern Ocean，southeast of
New Zealand—and letting it swim the rest of the way.
“The reason for not returning the penguin directly to Antarctica is that emperor penguins of this age are usually found north of Antarctica on pack ice and in the open ocean，”the department's spokesman Peter Simpson said.
The bird is estimated to be about two and a half years old，a juvenile(幼雏)in a species that reaches breeding age at around four or five.It will be released on the northern edge of the region where young emperor penguins are known to live.Simpson said he was unsure how far the penguin would have to swim before reaching its final destination.
The for the trip haven't been set and the penguin won't be released until it has recovered，which could be months.Until then，it will remain at the zoo.
The penguin drew intense interest after being spotted on North Island's Peka Peka Beach，about 2,000 miles(3,200 kilometers)from the Antarctic coast.It was the first emperor penguin spotted in the wild in New Zealand in 44 years.
“The bird is isolated in an air-conditioned room filled with large blocks of ice，”said zoo spokeswoman Kate Baker.
16．What is the passage mainly about?
A．An emperor penguin found in New Zealand. B．Transporting an emperor penguin directly home. C．The warm environment of New Zealand. D．The group that saved an emperor penguin.
17．According to the passage，Peter Simpson________. A．is an official working at Wellington Zoo B．is head of the Department of Conservation
C．is the spokesman of the Department of Conservation
D．knows exactly the distance the penguin has to swim home
18．The underlined word“logistics”in the passage means ________.
A．practical arrangements B．designed symbols C．skilled experts D．strong disagreements 19．What can we infer from the passage?
A．The penguin is staying at the zoo with other birds.
B．The penguin will not be released because it is very young.
C．The people of New Zealand are concerned about animals and birds. D．The people of New Zealand haven't seen this kind of penguin before.

The European union announced plans on Tuesday to temporarily ban the use of animals cloning for food eroduction.while allowing imports of food derived from the offspring(后代)of clones from the United States and elsewhere.
The report from the European Commission followed a call by EU lawmakers in July for a total ban on food derived from cloned animals and their traditionally bred offspring，citing ethical
2
concerns over the industrial production of cloned meat.
The Commission said a temporary five-year EU ban on cloning for food production was justified on animal welfare grounds，but said banning imports of food from the offspring of clones was unnecessary and would disrupt global trade.
“Food from cloned animals is safe.In fact，the scientific opinion is that it cannot be differentiated in any way from food from normally bred animals.The issue is animal welfare”，EU Health and Consumer Commissioner John Dalli told reporters.
Food derived from the offspring of clones presents no such animal welfare issues，and banning its sale and import would be impossible because the origin is untraceable，Dalli said.
“Such a prohibition would lead to a ban of imports of any food of animal origin (meat，milk and processed products) from third countries allowing the cloning technique，”the report said. “We're not going to regulate for the world，”Dalli added.
But animal welfare groups criticized the Commission's decision，saying it had bowed to pressure from third countries.
“We do not accept the Commission's position that it would be impossible to enforce a ban that includes the offspring of cloned animals，as (other) meat traceability systems are already in place，”said Sonja Van Tichelen，director of the Eurogroup for Animals.
20．From the passage we can infer that the ban is________. A．justified B．welcome C．controversial D．meaningless 21．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．The ban is permanent.
B．The imports of food from the offspring of clones are not banned. C．Animal welfare groups support the ban. D．The ban has been put into effect.
22．Which of the following is the reason for Commission's decision on the ban according to animal welfare groups?
A．The origin of food derived from the offspring of clones is untraceable. B．Food from cloned animals is safe. C．The issue is for animal welfare.
D．The pressure comes from third countries.
23．What might be the most suitable title for the passage? A．The plans of the European Union. B．A temporary five-year EU ban.
C．The EU proposes a ban on animal cloning for food. D．The danger of food derived from cloned animals. 24．The text is most probably a________. A．news report B．book review C．newspaper ad D．science-fiction story Ⅲ.书面表达

Ⅰ.单项填空
1. B [考查状语从句。句意：尽管我必须说你的确看起来面熟，但我认为我们没见过面。此处为让步状语从句，故用although引导。]
2. B [conserve保存；deserve值得；应该；observe观察；遵守；reserve 保留。由句意“站了五个小时后，你应该休息一下。”可知，B项正确。] 3. B [解析：句意：他告诉我的为什么他会迟到的原因完全是个借口。本句的主干是：the reason is an excuse。其中的he told me是定语从句，省略了在定语从句中作宾语的引导词which或that；其中的he was late也是定语从句，也修饰先行词the reason。引导词可以用that，for which，why或者不填，在定语从句中作原因状语。]
4. C [句中的insist意为“坚持要求”之意，因此宾语从句应用虚拟语气 形式，故C为正确答案。]
5.B [句意：植物的生长速度受诸多因素的影响，绝大多数的因素是我 们控制不了的。which引导非限制性定语从句，且作介词of的宾语。]
6.D [此处考查“of＋关系代词whom”引导非限制性定语从句；两者之 间用neither表示否定。]
7. C [句意：他们中的许多人不听他的建议，尽管他们知道那很有价值。 本题考查连词的用法。 as if好像；now that既然；even though尽管；so that 结果是。故选C。]

10.D [句意：他应该成为一名音乐家，但是他成了一名律师。be supposed to应该„„。] 11. A [句意：我不知道你为什么这么担心，这毕竟不是你的问题。after all毕竟，符合句意。] 12. C [句意：我们许诺，任何参加这个聚会的人都会有与那个电影明星 合影的机会。本句中promise sb sth表“答应某人某事”，whoever引导一个宾 语从句，作promise的间接宾语，且whoever在宾语从句中作主语，故选C。]
13.C [句意：交警一直在寻找证据以证明被告有责任，但未能找到。 mistake是统称词，表示一般概念；guilt罪责，内疚，尤指道德方面的过失； fault过失，(承担错误的)责任，缺点；shortcoming缺点。]
14.A[after all毕竟，到底；above all首先，最重要的是；in all总共；first of all首先。由句意可知选A。句意：我希望政府能采取有效措施降低房价。毕竟，现在大部分人还不富有。] 15. B [本题是对情景交际用语的考查。“你错过了开会”，而从答语中的 “我在会议结束前五分钟到达会场”，可以看出答话者认为对方讲话不够确 切，毕竟答话者参加了会议，只不过迟到而已。] Ⅱ.阅读理解
