The Book of Life

So far,scientists have named about 1.8 million living species,and that's just a fraction of what proba-
bly exists on Earth.With so many plants,animals,and other creatures covering the planet,it can be tough
to figure out what type of spider is moving up your leg or what kind of bird is flying by.
A soon-to-be-launched Web site might help. An international team of researchers has announced the
creation of a Web-based Encyclopedia of Life(EoL).The project aims to catalog every species on Earth in a
single,easy-to-use reference guide.
To get the encyclopedia started,the creators will use information from scientific databases that already
exist.And eventually,in special sections of the site,nonscientists with specialized knowledge will get to join
in.Bird-watchers,for example,will be able to input which birds they've seen and where.The technology
for this kind of tool has only recently become available.
As the EoL develops, you might find it useful for school projects.The site will feature special pages for
kids who are studying ecosystems（生态系统）in their neighborhoods. To make sure the encyclopedia is
accurate,scientists will review much of the information added to it. People who visit the site will be able to
choose to leave out pages that haven't been reviewed.
Another convenient feature of the EoL is that you'll be able to pick the level of detail you see to match
your interests,age,and current knowledge.If you wanted to learn about bears for a science class report,for
example,you could use the"novice"setting to get basic information about the animals.On the"expert"
setting,on the other hand,you could get much more detailed information about the history,literature and
exploration of bears.
It now takes years for scientists to collect all the data they need to describe and analyze species.The
creators of the Encyclopedia of Life hope that their new tool will speed that process.

"Spider" and"bird"mentioned in Paragraph 1 are examples to illustrate_______________.
A:animals are people's friends
B:there are numerous living species on Earth
C:it is easy to see spiders and birds
D:there are many types of spiders and birds

答案：B
解析：
由文章内容可知，文章开头运用“蜘蛛”和“鸟”的例子主要说明地球上生物的种类太 多了。
根据第二段的最后一句话可知正确答案。
由第三段的第一句话可知答案。
novice在文中的意思为“新手，初学者”，选项中的beginner符合题意。
由文中第一句话可知“科学家已经命名1.8百万种物种了”，而不是“仅仅一小部分”, 其他选项在文中都能找到依据。 第三篇 文章主要介绍了为什么野生的大象比圈养的大象要长寿。

第3题：

Which of the following statement is TRUE according to this passage?

A．Beijing Hotel has just been opened recently.

B．There are too many luxurious things in Beijing Hotel.

C．Beijing Hotel will prepare rooms for those that had booked the room.

D．Not only foreigners but also native people wanted to book rooms for Games.


正确答案：D
解析：A和B选项与事实不符，属于错误答案；C选项也被否定，原因是文中说北京饭店并不接受提前这么长时间的预订，而只是记下预订人的姓名。D选项可以在文章中找到出处：“... the hotel had already received 50 to 60 such phone calls from would-be game-goers gambling on the result．Domestic callers have mainly come from the southern provinces of Guangdong and Fujian.”

A

It is not inborn in any sense.

B

It is inspired by women’s families.

C

It is caused by social prejudice

D

It is partly biological in origin.


正确答案： C
解析：
由第二段第三句“But the signs that it is at least partly inborn are too numberous to ignore. (女人具有“照顾别人的特征”至少有部分是天生的，此类迹象多得不容忽视。)”可知，女性的这个特征有先天方面的原因。A项与句意相矛盾，B、C两项文章中均没提到。故选D。
