20、single bar across the square brackets on your machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET. 20 Ten years ago, when environmental lawyer Kassie Siegel went in search of an animal to save the world, the polar bear wasnt at all an obvious choice. Siegel and Brendan Cummings of the Center for Biological Diversity in Jo
21、shua Tree, Calif., were looking for a species whose habitat was disappearing due to climate change, which could serve as a symbol of the dangers of global warming. Her first candidate met the scientific criteria it lived in ice caves in Alaskas Glacier Bay, which were melting away but unfortunately
22、it was a spider. You cant sell a lot of T-shirts with pictures of an animal most people would happily step on. Next, Siegel turned to the Kittlitzs murrelet, a small Arctic seabird whose nesting sites in glaciers were disappearing. In 2001, she petitioned the Department of the Interior to add it to
23、the Endangered Species list, but Interior Secretary Gale Norton turned her down. Elkhorn and staghorn coral, which are threatened by rising water temperatures in the Caribbean, did make it onto the list, but as iconic species they fell short insofar as many people dont realize theyre alive in the fi
24、rst place. The polar bear, by contrast, is vehemently alive and comes the undeniable charisma of a top predator. And its dependence on ice was intuitively obvious; it lives on it most of the year. But it took until 2004 for researchers to demonstrate that shrinking sea ice was a serious threat to th
25、e bears population. On Feb. 16, 2005 the day the Kyoto Protocol to curb greenhouse gas emissions took effect, without the participation of the United States Siegel petitioned to list polar bears as endangered. Three years later her efforts met with equivocal(不明确的 ) success, as Interior Secretary Dir
26、k Kempthorne designated the bears as “ threatened“ (not endangered), a significant concession from an administration that has stood almost alone in the world in its reluctance to acknowledge the dangers of climate change. The Endangered Species Act (ESA), whose odd lists of snails and bladderworts s
27、ometimes seemed stuck in the age of Darwin, had been thrust into the mainstream of 21st-century environmental politics. Break out the T-shirts! 21 Siegel and Cummings hoped to choose an animal to_. （ A） call on people to take actions against global warming （ B） make people aware of the danger of env
28、ironmental damage （ C） introduce to people a new concept of environmental protection （ D） remind people of the importance of protecting endangered species 22 The problem with elkhorn and staghorn corals lies in that_. （ A） they were not much-liked by many people （ B） they were not well-known enough
29、to be an icon （ C） they were not considered animals by many people （ D） they were not added to the list of Endangered Species 23 It can be learnt that the polar bear_. （ A） was first considered by Siegel to be the iconic animal in 1998 （ B） was first proposed by Siegel to be the endangered species i
30、n 2004 （ C） was not qualified scientifically as the endangered species until 2005 （ D） was not officially under the government protection until 2008 24 Which of the following is chosen by Siegel as the symbolic animal? （ A） The murrelet nesting in glaciers. （ B） The polar bear in the North Pole. （ C
31、） The spider in Alaskas Glacier Bay. （ D） Staghorn corals in the Caribbean. 25 The passage is focused on_. （ A） how the scientists tried to protect endangered species （ B） how the symbolic endangered species has been chosen （ C） the relation between global warming and endangered species （ D） the pro
32、blems in and the future of endangered species protection Passage Two 25 More American mothers than ever are working, and more workers are mothers. Yet their march into the world of paid work continues to cause suspicion. One recent survey found that 48 percent of Americans believe that preschoolers
33、suffer if their mothers work, while another found that 42 percent of employed parents think that working mothers care more about succeeding at work than meeting their childrens needs. The kids are all right. Studies conducted by the University of Michigan have consistently demonstrated that a childs
34、 social or academic competence does not depend on whether a mother is employed. In my research four out of five children told me that having a working mother was their preferred arrangement. My study found that children with working mothers are no more likely to drop out, take drugs, break the law,
35、or experiment with sex prematurely than children with non-employed mothers. Children have taken their mothers example to heart. Ninety percent of the young women I interviewed said they hoped to combine work with motherhood, while two-thirds of the men said they wanted to share parenting and work. S
36、adly, children support working mothers more than we do as a society. Parental leave and child-care benefits in the United States remain inadequate, particularly when compared to whats offered in other countries. Children thrive when their mothers have satisfying, well-paid jobs when they can count o
37、n other caretakers to share the load. The challenge facing us is thus not whether good workers can also be good mothers, but whether we can create the conditions that enable working mothers and fathers to be good parents. 26 From the first paragraph, we can see that_. （ A） now more American mothers
38、are working than any time in American history and anywhere else in the world （ B） more than half Americans think that before going to school, children need their motherswhole-hearted care （ C） a majority of Americans believe that once working outside home mothers think of their own work more than th
39、eir children （ D） more American mothers work than ever before, but this problem of working mothers has not been solved satisfactorily 27 From the passage, we can not find the proof of the fact that_. （ A） mothers do their household work today just as well as they did before （ B） with their mothers w
40、orking, children are better off （ C） lack of mothers care, children like to go astray （ D） in single-parent families, most children like their mothers to go out working 28 In the last paragraph, “Parental leave and child-care benefits in the United States remain inadequate“ actually refers to_. （ A）
41、 parents should not leave and pay more care to their children （ B） parental leave and child care is contradicted （ C） children have inadequate care from their parents （ D） in the United States, parents enjoy inadequate child-care leave and allowance 29 What do the Americans need in solving the probl
42、em of working mothers? （ A） They need the support of males. （ B） They need the understanding of other members of their families. （ C） They need young people to be well-prepared to work both in and outside their homes. （ D） They need especially the powerful support, of the society for working mothers
43、. 30 What is the main idea of the passage? （ A） We should let mothers work without worries. （ B） It is better for mothers to stay at home. （ C） We should work hard, especially mothers. （ D） Like mothers, like children. Passage Three 30 Job sharing refers to the situation in which two people divide t
44、he responsibility of one full-time job. The two people willingly act as part-time workers, enough hours between them to fulfill the duties of a full-time worker. If they each work half the job, for example, they each receive 50 percent of the jobs wages, its holidays and its other benefits. Of cours
45、e, some job sharers take a smaller or larger share of the responsibilities of the position, receiving a less or greater share of the benefits. Job sharing differs from conventional part-time work in that it occurs mainly in the more highly skilled and professional areas, which requires higher levels
46、 of responsibility and employee commitment. Job sharing should not be confused with the term work sharing, which refers to increasing the number of jobs by reducing the number of hours of each existing job, thus offering more positions to the growing number of unemployed people. Job sharing, by cont
47、rast, is not designed to address unemployment problems; its focus, rather, is to provide well-paid work for skilled workers and professionals who want more free time for other activities. As would be expected, women constitute the bulk of job sharers. A survey carded out in 1988 by Britains Equal Op
48、portunities Commission revealed that 78 percent of sharers were female, the majority of whom were between 20 and 40 years of age. Subsequent studies have come up with similar results. Many of these women were re-entering the job market after having had children, but they chose not to seek part-time
49、work because it would have meant lower status. Job sharing also offered an acceptable shift back into full-time work after a long absence. The necessity of close cooperations when sharing a job with another person makes the actual work quite different from conventional one-position jobs. However, to ensure a greater chance that the partnership will succeed, each person needs to kn
