It is a living cloud made of billions of locusts (蝗虫) that are traveling across the continent eating everything in their path. And now in the battle to stop this disaster, a radio station in Senegal, West Africa, is offering listeners 50 kilograms of rice if they can catch and kill 50 kilograms of locusts. “We think this idea will get more people to take part in the war on the locusts,” said Abdoulaye Ba, from Sud-Fm, a radio station in one of Senegal’s worst affected area. This is West Africa’s biggest locust disaster in 15 years, and it is moving east, causing huge damage to crops. As they move they produce young and increase their number and will soon threaten (威胁) Sudan in the northeast of Africa. Some say it could reach Asia. Experts say the harmful effect on crops in areas already suffering from food shortage and war could cause many people to go hungry. Governments in the areas are not well equipped to fight the pest. Although leaders of 12 countries have agreed on a plan, it is not expected to be enough. “We are now treating 6,000 hectares (公顷) per day with pesticide (杀虫剂), but we need to treat 20,000 hectares per day in order to have any hope of controlling this disaster,” said Mohamed Abdallahi Ould Babah, director of locust control in Mauritania. Requests are being made for international aid, which is the only way to limit the disaster, the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization warned. 1. By using “dark cloud” to describe locusts in the first paragraph, the author of the article ________. A. showed the size and speed of the mass of locusts B. suggested the great damage that locusts can cause C. warned that locusts would sweep the continent like rain clouds D. both A and B 2. The story is mainly about ________. A. West Africa’s united effort in fighting a disaster B. the difficulty in controlling locusts C. how locusts caused great damage to West Africa D. a struggle to fight against a disaster brought by locusts in West Africa 3. The locust disaster ________. A. would be even more serious in Asia B. is(was)out of control C. affected only the warning areas D. can not be stopped unless twice as much pesticide is provided for the affected areas 4. Which of the following is WRONG? A. Sud-Fm offered a reward for fighting locusts so that more people would join in the effort. B. Senegal is to the southwest of Sudan. C. The locusts can cause such damage mainly because it has no natural enemy in West Africa. D. 12 countries affected by locusts have united but still lack pesticide. 答案与解析：本文主要叙述了在非洲所发生的.一次蝗灾害。 1. D 细节题。由第一段中的traveling across the continent eating everything in their path可知作者想表明蝗灾发生的规模和所造成的灾害。 2. D 主旨题。由每段首句和末段可知。 3. B 推论题。根据第三段和第四段的意思可推知。 4. C 细节题。文章中没有被提到C项内容，所以错了。由文第二段可知A对;由…于蝗灾发生在West Africa，然后向northwest of Africa发展，而Sudan正在这一个方向，所以B对;由第五段可知D也对。

A People faint(昏厥) when the normal blood supply to the brain is suddenly cut down. This can happen if they are surprised or shocked(震动) by sudden news or by something they see suddenly. Some people faint if they see others hurt. Some people faint in crowds. Others faint if they are in a room that is hot and stuffy(闷热的). If a person faints while standing, lay him down.

And the brain, which itself controls breathing, is the first to suffer(受苦) if oxygen is lacking(缺乏). If no air enters the lungs(肺), the heart will continue to beat for a little longer, supplying the blood to the brain and other parts of the body. But soon, the supply of oxygen already in the blood is used up. First, the patient loses conciousness(知觉), because the brain is no longer getting enough oxygen to work. Then lack of oxygen in the heart causes it to stop beating. Without oxygen ,the brain can survive(持续) undamaged for only about four minutes. The heart may survive for as long as 12 minutes. But within six minutes the person will almost certainly be dead. 1.The oxygen that our body needs comes from________. A. the air we breathe inB. the moving blood C .the beating heartD. the working brain 2.If no air enters the lungs,________.

【解题分析】
36.【答案】A
【解析】空格前句意是“人们一直认为《金银岛》一书是史蒂文森凭空想象出来的”，后面的句意是“最近的一项研究发现这部令人激动的作品的一些真是的经历”。显然，两句具有转折关系。 Ks5u
37.【答案】D
【解析】根据前面的Stevenson, a Scotsman以及后句的“In 1881 he returned to Scotland....”及“With him were his American wife Fanny and his son”可判断空格中应表明他不是独身一人，二是与家人一起在国外居住多年。 Ks5u
38. 【答案】C Ks5u
【解析】 根据第三段中第一句Each morning Stevenson would take them out ... over the hills,可判断他们每天早上是爬山游玩，一次断定回国是为了“度假”。 Ks5u
39.【答案】A Ks5u
【解析】 根据Kept indoors the heavy rain, Lloyd felt the days以及下文的To keep the boy happy, Robert asked the boy...，可判断是Lloyd。 Ks5u
40.【答案】C
【解析】既然是度假，而且是一家人去山上，因此一定是“漫步”。 Ks5u
41.【答案】D Ks5u
【解析】每天山上漫步，一定感到很惬意，应该是一种“享受”。 Ks5u
42. 【答案】B Ks5u
【解析】然而大雨却让他们不得不呆在室内。孩子感觉天一定会很“阴暗”，只有dull符合句意。 Ks5u
43. 【答案】C
【解析】根据下文的with a beautiful map of an island以及the boy had drawn a large cross...可判断是drawing。 Ks5u
44.【答案】B
【解析】“孩子在图上岛的中间画了一个十字”，这个应该是父亲细心，“注意到”的事情。 Ks5u
45. 【答案】D
【解析】根据上文a beautiful map of an island以及题目可判断。 Ks5u
46.【答案】B
【解析】宝藏应该是被人埋藏在岛中的某个地点，因此选buried。 Ks5u

48.【答案】C
【解析】 上文谈到儿子拿来一幅画给父亲看，因此可判断父亲是从儿子的绘画中得到灵感。 Ks5u
49.【答案】B
【解析】上文有父亲坐在炉火旁写作，因此可判断，这里是他想让故事中的主人翁就是他儿子一样的孩子。hero意思是“主人翁，英雄”。 Ks5u
50.【答案】A
【解析】词组with the help of表示“在……帮助下；借助于”。 Ks5u
51.【答案】C
【解析】上文有故事的主人翁产生了，海盗是谁呢？作者紧接着突然提及父亲有一个朋友，借助于一只木头腿走路，而下文中的such a man in the story即指这个朋友，可见意思是在书中“包括”这样一个人物。 Ks5u
52.【答案】D
【解析】上下文之间为因果关系，故填thus。 Ks5u
53. 【答案】B
【解析】根据上文这一句总结了海盗“诞生”的过程。 Ks5u
54. 【答案】A
【解析】上文有因“雨”，才有后面的故事，因“孩子”，“木头腿的朋友”才有了故事的中的人物，金银岛一书应多亏了那个“下雨的”九月等。 Ks5u
55. 【答案】D
【解析】根据47空后的an adventure story暗示，以及常识可知《金银岛》是探险小说。
