Students will need to use all of their skills in order to understand the reading selections in Reader’s Choice.
71    These selections provide practice on employing different reading skills to get the message of the writer. They also give students practice in four basic reading skills: skimming, scanning, reading for thorough comprehension, and critical reading.
Skimming involves reading quickly through a text to get an overall idea of its contents. This kind of rapid reading is suitable when you are trying to decide if careful reading is desirable or    72  
Like skimming, scanning is also quick reading. However, in this case the search is more    concentrated.    73    When you read to find a particular date, or number you are scanning.

閱讀下面短文,按照要求完成閱讀任務(wù)。
The International Coast Clean-up is an organization that is set up to help the environment in the worid,especially the areas near the waters.Recently,more than a half-million vulunteers are taking part in an international movement to comb the world’s shorelines for cigarette butts, bottle caps and any other rubbish they can find.
The Intematiohal Coast Clean-up is in its 14th volunteers ready to collect more than 10 million pieces of rubbish along 19,308 kilometers of shoreline in 70 countries.
Sponsored(贊助)by the Centre for Marine Conservation and several other non—profit(非盈利的) groups and corporate sponsors, the activity is a one-day attempt to improve conditions on important waterfronts.
Cigarette butts are by far the most common item, with exactly 1.6 million picked up and counted in the last year’s clean-up.They were followed in numbers by food wrappers,plastic pieces,bottle caps and broken pieces of glass.The global event is held on the third Saturday of September.
Last year,the biggest volunteer army was in the Philippines,where nearly 300,000 people took part in the clean-up.With more than 7,000 islands,the Philippines is among the countries which have the largest shorelines.
“Around every main body of water,we have a rubbish problem,”said Sheavly,director of the Center for rubbish problem.Bad weather with some hurricane affected some plans,but thousands of volunteers were ready to go,she said.
About 20,000 divers are joining to clean up offshore rubbish,with major underwater efforts in the United States,the Philippines,Germany,Italy,Australia,Venezuela and EI Salvador.
Globally, less than 20 percent of shore rubbish clearly comes from the water. The most appears to come from land sourees.
Part of the effort is counting the rubbish.Volunteers carry cards to recond their collections,which will be piled and used for studies of how to settle the problem year-round.

第一節(jié)(共15小題;每小題2分,滿分30分)
It was getting dark when Lisa was returning from teaching out in a small community. She’d been traveling the same route for over a year and there was seldom traffic on this highway.
Lisa remembered back to her previous experiences. In those days she was constantly picking up strangers on the road. Her family became greatly concerned about her safety, but she continued the practice until the day her sister told her that one of her friends had been shot by a hitchhiker (搭便車者). That was when the family heard the promise, “No more hitchhikers, I promise!”
When she thought back to these things, she suddenly noticed that a car was parked on the road ahead. Then she saw a man waving. He was in trouble, she thought. But suddenly she remembered the promise. She knew this road well and the chances of another car coming along to help were very little. Now as the man ran toward her car she shook with fear, and didn’t know if he was truly in need. She could not leave him here in this storm. The stranger explained that his car was broken. She knew she had to break the promise. She told him to get in. They drove for an hour into the next city and she took him to a telephone box. She waited until he had made a call. When he reported back to her that a family member would soon be there for him, she wished him well and left.
Tears fell on her cheeks as she drove away. It felt as though she had been holding her breath for an hour. “I hope they’ll understand why I had to break my promise.”
56. We can learn from the text that Lisa promised______.
A. not to pick up free riders on her way home
B. not to drive home alone when it was late
C. to help those whose cars were broken
D. to learn from the friend of her sister’s
57. Which of the following can best describe Lisa?
A. Careful and serious         B. Faithful and clever

D.How has volunteering helped you?
E. Have you had any volunteers who quit half-way?

51.___________________
I am a member of our school’s volunteer association. During my freshman(大學(xué)一年級新生) year, I was asked to write up a plan for volunteers who assisted patients there. So I visited the hospice (末期病人療養(yǎng)所) several times. Later, I realized I could do more for the patients and so began volunteering.
52.___________________
When I was a freshman, I was not used to college life. I sometimes felt the hospice was like home. Here, many grannies treated me like their own relative, and I could feel strongly that I was needed. Just shaking hands made them come to life. I not only get great comfort from helping many patients get through the last period of their lives. I also learn a lot from their experiences.
53.___________________
You have to be prepared both mentally and physically. Most people at this hospice are facing death. So you have prepared to be patient and make them happy and relaxed. Also, persistence is needed. After seeing so many people here die, I know that persistence is hard. But you have to remember that you job is to help them feel less pain before death.
54.___________________
Good volunteers have something in common: They regard their job as a career, rather than some task that’s been assigned. They learn to enjoy what they are doing, no matter how boring it is. We have a volunteer who has been with us for more than a year. His job is translating letters from kids we helped. Even when he was busy with his classes, he would take a taxi to our office to pick up the letters. When we asked him why, he told us he enjoyed the kids’ stories and learned a lot from them.
55.___________________
Students are often very enthusiastic and direct. They give us feedback that helps us improve our work. And they value the opportunity we give them to broaden their horizons. However, they are still young and some are not responsible enough. And sometimes, they are lazy and careless.

Honeybees are disappearing for unknown reasons around the United States. Last winter, bees disappeared from 23 percent of American beekeeping businesses. Causes of the phenomenon, however, have remained a mystery.
Now, scientists from several universities and the United States Department of Agriculture say they have a possible explanation for the bee decline(數(shù)量下降). It is a little known virus called Israeli acute--paralysis virus (IAPV) .The virus kills bees. Researchers in Israel first described it in 2004 , but until now, bee experts hadn’t paid much attention to it.
When trying to find out why the bees were disappearing, a research team at Columbia University studied bee colonies ( 群體), some with and the others without decline. The research turned up large numbers of two types of fungi (真菌) once suspected of causing the bee decline. The research results, however, showed that the fungi were almost as common in colonies without a decline as they were in colonies with a decline. The researchers concluded that the two fungi probably weren’t the cause.
Studies of the presence of IAPV, however, showed more interesting information. In those studies, done by a team at Pennsylvania State University in University Park, the virus showed up in 83 percent of samples from colonies with symptoms (癥狀). Only five percent of samples from symptomless colonies had it.
Scientists still don’t know whether IAPIV can single--handedly cause the bee decline. They believe that even if the virus is making colonies sick , it could have a partner in crime. It’s possible, for instance, that insects or chemicals in the environment weaken bees, making them more likely to catch IAPV.
Scientists are still trying to figure out how IAPV came to the United States. The United States currently allows bee products to be imported from Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. If it turns out that this trade is spreading disease, the rules might eventually change.
68. According to the passage ,IAPV is a virus that ______.
A. hasn’t attracted much attention      
B. well-known to doctors and scientist
C. was first found by Austrian researchers  
D. is dangerous to animals and human beings
69. The underlined sentence in the fifth paragraph probably means______.
A. the virus could also cause other damages
B. there must be something that is the real cause
C. IAPV is not the only cause for the bee decline
D. the virus may be caused by the polluted environment
70. From the third and fourth paragraphs, we know researchers draw their conclusions by means of _______.
A. calculating        B. comparing  C. examining     D. investigating
71. What still remains unknown to American scientists according to the passage?
A. How and why to kill IAPV.
B. How IAPV came to America.
C. Whether bee products should be imported.
D. How to change the rules of the bee products trade.
72. The best title for this passage would be _____.
A. Bee Disease     B. How to Kill IAPV 
C. A Virus—IAPV   D. Two Types of Fungi

.
The UN Environment Programme says that rising temperature could mean the end for some
migrating animals.Migrating or mobile animals move through several environments as they travel away from the cold of winter to warmer areas. Birds may fly from one part of the world to another, perhaps stopping at feeding grounds(聚食場) on the way. Whales and turtles cover vast areas of ocean. The report says that changes in any one of the places which these animals use can cause serious harm."Obviously these animals have developed their traveling patterns over thousands of years. But climate change is almost certain to be extreme over the next 25 t0 50 years, and it is extremely
unlikely that these animals can change their habits fast enough," said the report author Dr. Robert Hepworth.
Hardest hit by rising temperatures are turtles. Scientists have found that at higher temperatures,turtles produce far more female eggs than male ones. In parts of Malaysia, turtle birthing sites are producing only females, the report says, It also provides evidence that some turtles are more likely to develop cancer as the waters get warmer.
With birds, the main problem is climate-related damage to important areas at either end of the travels or at resting places along the way. About one-fifth of migrating birds are now in danger because of climate-related changes including rising sea levels, land loss and more violent storms,the report concludes.Other animals picked out as particularly in danger include:
◆the North Atlantic Right Whale, whose main food( tiny shrimp ) is disturbed by the change in ocean flows
◆the White-beaked Dolphin, which is out-competed by other kinds of dolphins in warmer waters.
The report is not all bad news. Even with major climatic changes, protecting the environment can still help mobile animals to recover.
"We need governments to start taking action at the national and international level. The clock is running." said Dr Hepworth. And some animals are already adapting, with the report mentioning whales that are changing their feeding behavior, finding new feeding grounds and new foods to eat.
48. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. The effect of climate change on migrating animals,
B. How animals are adapting to changes in temperature.
C. The importance of saving migrating animals.
D. The need for government policies to prevent global warming.
49. Which of the following is mentioned as a consequence of rising temperatures?
A. More storms will affect the ability of whales to find their feeding grounds.
B. 20% of all birds are likely to die out because of land loss.
C. Migrating animals can adapt to the changes quickly.
D. Warmer oceans will increase the competition between different kinds of dolphins.
