Passage1 （2010·重庆卷·D）
Sitting on the peaceful coast of Galapagos Islands. Ecuador, watching the sun
move quietly into the sea, you shouldn’t forget that Charles Darwin (1809-1882)
arrived here in 1835. He stayed on the islands for five weeks, observing various
animals. This finally inspired (启发) his famous work, On the Origin of Species.
You can certainly follow Darwin’s footsteps and enjoy a trip from four to seven
days to the islands.
The islands are certainly a paradise (天堂) for wildlife, as there are no natural
killers on the islands and the number of boats and visitors is under government
control. Though you cannot walk freely as Darwin did about 200 years ago, each day
is as impressive as it could be.
The most well-known animal of the Galapagos is the giant tortoise（巨型陆龟），which can be seen moving slowly around the highlands of Santa Cruz, the second
largest island in the archipelago （群岛）. Some of these creatures are so old that
they might have been seen in their youth by Darwin himself.
Despite strict control over activities and timing, your stay on the Galapagos
will be remembered as a chain of incomparable pictures; diving with sea lions that
swim and play within inches of you; feeling small sharks touch your feet as you swim;
and, most magically, seeing a whale and her baby surface with a great breath of air.
Traveling between the islands and observing the wildlife that so inspired Darwin, you will feel as though you are getting a special view of an untouched world. At
night you will sleep on board the ship, leaving the wildlife in complete occupation
of the islands, which are as undisturbed now as they have been since the beginning
of time.
68. What do we know about Darwin’s visit to the islands?
A．He studied different creatures on the islands.
B．He completed his famous book on the islands.
C．He was touched by the geography of the islands.
D．He was attracted by well-known animals of the islands.
69. Which of the following plays a role in making the islands “a paradise for
wildlife”?
A．Animals on the islands feed on grass.
B．Local government forbids killing wildlife.
C．People cannot visit the islands as they wish.
D．Tourists are not allowed to touch the animals.
70．Your stay on the islands will be most impressive mainly because of .
A．the beautiful sea views B．Darwin’s inspiring trip
C．a closer view of animals D．various daring activities
71．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage？
A．A Unique Attraction for Wildlife Lovers B．Galapagos as a Paradise for Adventurers
C．Charles Darwin as a symbol of Galapagos
D．A Successful Example of wildlife Protection
【文章大意】本文介绍了一个野生动物的乐园Galapagos Islands，达尔文曾在这儿受到启发写出了《物种起源》一书，尽管在这里时间、数量受政府控制，但可以和动物密切接触，由于这里保护得很好，直到现在依然是旅游的好去处。
68．【解析】选A。细节理解题。第一段第二、三句告诉我们他在岛上住了五周，观察各种各样的动物。这最终启发了他写出名著《物种起源》所以A项正确。排除了B项 “在岛上完成了著名著作”；C项“被岛上的地表特征打动”，文中没提到，D项“被岛上的动物迷住了”，与文中observing意思不相符。 69．【解析】选C。细节理解题。文章第二段第一句告诉我们岛上没有天敌，船和游客的数量都在政府控制中，尽管你不能像200年前达尔文那样随意走动，但是每一天对你来说都会留下很深的印象。C项 “人们不能随便参观这个岛”符合文意。选项A “动物以草为食”，文中没提到。选项B “当地政府禁止捕杀野生动物”与“船的数量受政府控制”不一致。D项与倒数第二段的内容不相符合。
70．【解析】选C。倒数第二段告诉我们作为一系列无与伦比的画面，你将永远记住这一段时间与海狮、鲸鱼和鲨鱼的近距离接触。所以C项正确。
71．【解析】选A。主旨大意题。文章以岛上的野生动物为主线来说这个地方的迷人之处和独特的价值。所以选A “野生动物爱好者们的一个独特的地方”。
Passage 2 （2010·江苏卷·B）
It is reported that conservation groups in North America have been arguing about
the benefits and dangers of wolves. Some groups believe wolves should be killed.
Other people believe wolves must be protected so that they will not disappear from
the wilderness (荒野).
For Killing Wolves
In Alaska, the wolf almost disappeared a few years ago, because hunters were killing
hundreds of them for sport. However, laws were established to protect the wolves
from sportsmen and people who catch the animals for their fur. So the wolf population
has greatly increased. Now there are so many wolves that they are destroying their
own food supply.
A wolf naturally eats animals in the deer family. People in the wilderness also hunt
deer for food. Many of the animals have been destroyed by the very cold winters
recently and by changes in the wilderness plant life. When the deer can’t find enough
food, they die.
If the wolves continue to kill large numbers of deer, their prey (猎物) will disappear
some day. And the wolves will, too. So we must change the cycle of life in the
wilderness to balance the ecology. If we killed more wolves, we would save them and
their prey from dying out. We’d also save some farm animals.
In another northern state, wolves attack cows and chickens for food. Farmers want
