22、The Mekong flows through an extremely diverse landscape and surprises once again with its richness of species. But an unbroken construction trend threatens the ecosystem.

In the Mekong area, 110 new species have been discovered in the past two years. The World Wide Fund For Nature (WWF) on Thursday called Southeast Asia a true treasure for animals and plants. A turtle with a trunk and a fish named after the river Bruinen in the fantasy classic “Lord of the Rings” were found. According to WWF, a newly found plant reminds people of the eggs in the film “Alien”, from which the Facehugger jump.

The Mekong region, which covers China, Laos, Vietnam, Thailand, Myanmar and Cambodia, is a melting pot of biodiversity. But it is in danger. “Massive habitat ruin and huge hydropower plants threaten the treasury,” says Stefan Ziegler of WWF-Germany. “Our goal must be to protect the biologically valuable areas of the Mekong across borders and permanently, as well as to make sustainable use of natural resources.”

Over the past 20 years, more than 2, 500 new species have been discovered in the Mekong region, including numerous mammals and birds. “The combination of mountains, dry forests and wet lands, as well as heavy rainfall and a humid climate, is unique,” says the WWF. Many of the resident species could not be found anywhere else.

However, 150 large and small hydropower plants are planned on the Mekong. “The dams would primarily benefit construction companies and their associated politicians,” said Pou Sothirak, director of the Cambodian Institute for Cooperation and Peace, in a recent interview. “They are not interested in the social impact and the damage to the environment.”

【1】What is it that makes Mekong in danger?

A．Terrible climate.

B．Unique landscape.

C．Abundant species.

D．Unbroken construction.

【2】Why is the film “Alien” mentioned in paragraph 2?

A．To describe the appearance of the plant.

B．To present the damage to the environment.

C．To raise the readers' awareness of new species.

D．To compare the newly found plant with the old one.

【3】What is Pou Sothirak's attitude towards the hydropower plants?

A．Supportive.

B．Interested.

C．Doubtful.

D．Opposed.

【4】What might be the author?

A．A politician.

B．An ecologist.

C．A company director.

D．A power plant's designer.

23、Why Do Brides Wear White

In many societies the color white has been associated with purity and virtue, and that is one reason why some brides choose to wear white, especially in the West. Usually, you will hear that brides wear white because “it’s a tradition”. But, historically, white was not the only color considered for wedding dresses. 【1】

For many centuries in Western societies, wedding dresses had different colors. 【2】 Brides tended to buy a wedding dress that could be worn again, or they simply wore the best dress they already owned. And white is not practical: it is difficult to keep clean and is therefore not ideal for many situations or for repeated wear.

Many brides chose to wear dresses of other colors for their wedding and beyond. 【3】 They do so largely thanks to a trend that started with Queen Victoria’s 1840 wedding to Prince Albert.

【4】 Although not in as many different media as we have now, they still had a tendency to be trendsetting. So Victoria chose to wear a white gown (女礼服)—reportedly to show off the fine detailed Honiton lace produced by the British lace industry, which was depressed at the time. Her fashion choice was widely reported in newspapers and magazines. 【5】 Eventually, the trend of a white wedding gown spread across all economic levels and it was strengthened as “tradition” in the 20th century.

A．So why do so many of today’s brides wear white?

B．But why are brides so particular about their dresses?

C．Royal weddings in those years received a lot of reporting.

D．It reflected the growth of the wedding industry at that time.

E．It soon influenced domestic and international wedding trends.

F．In fact, other colors were chosen far more frequently than white.

G．This was for reasons of being practical as much as anything else.

24、   When you hear the word “birthmark”, you probably think of one of those black or brown spots that you have on your body. For me, it’s different―I have them on my lips and inside my mouth. I’m used to being asked, “What are those black marks on your lips?” When I tell people they’re birthmarks, they usually say, “That’s strange.” I used to consider them ugly. However, my mom calls them beauty marks.

In pictures, I used to hide my birthmarks by pursing (噘起) my lips so I wouldn’t ave to deal with people’ s questions, As I was growing up, people wore me out with them. Some people would ask me the same questions even before knowing my name. In society I feel like we judge people by their looks before their personality.

My birthmarks are caused by a genetic condition from my mom’s side of the family, My mom’s mom has birthmarks on her lips, and my mom’s uncle and my uncle have some on their bodies. Every year I plan to have procedure to remove them. But when imagining the process, I always get nervous and give up.

My cousin faces a similar challenge. She has a huge birthmark that takes up her whole arm. She’s never tried to hide it or change her appearance. Once, her grandmother told her that the birthmark looked extremely prominent and suggested that she should wear long sleeves more often. If my cousin had actually taken that suggestion, she wouldn’t be such a person as she is.

Inspired by my cousin, I am finally accepting who I am and now I don’t hesitate when someone asks me about them either. I say, “They’re beauty marks” and smile without pursing my lips.

【1】How did the author feel when asked about the birthmarks?

A.She felt excited to show her difference.

B.She felt annoyed to give others an answer.

C.She was scared to be made fun of by people.

D.She was bored to be faced with the question.

【3】What can be inferred about the author’s cousin?

A.She dislikes talking about her birthmark.

B.She never judges others by their looks.

C.She is more confident than the author.

D.She has taken her grandma’s suggestion.

【4】What does the underlined word “prominent” in paragraph 4 mean?

A.Brilliant. B.Symbolic.

C.Harmful. D.Impressive.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

For years, I posted pictures of my grandson, cute animals and delicious dishes, and video clips of people’s funy behaviour and the like on Facebook. Moreover, I played a farm game or two on this popular social media site. I thought Facebook was for fun, but I never expected a post I saw on Facebook could have a significant impact on my life.

On November 12th, 2010, I was on my way to a conference by plane. Suddenly, I suffered a heart attack. Luckily, there were three doctors on board. In less than a minute, I was given first aid. I survived, but months later, I was still trying to come to terms with what had happened. So I began to record how I survived this incident as well as my ideas about life on Facebook daily, and started to care about Facebook posts that had nothing to do with fun.

One morning on March, 2011, I looked through my Facebook feed and saw a friend’s post. She wrote, “Let go of anything unrealistic and all activities that do not mirror your brightest intentions for yourself.” The words touched me greatly. That night, I copied them onto a clean piece of paper and taped it to my laptop.

Actually, I was crazy about farm games then. I, along with many of my friends, played FarmVille. But one little farm game was not enough for me. I thought I needed more farms, more crops, and more livestock. All were in virtual form,of course. I had five different farms in five different games. And I spent hours on my farms every day. While attending to my virtual farms one day I looked out of the window and noticed the empty land in our backyard.

注意：

1.续写的词数应为150 左右；

2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

Then I looked at the words on the piece of paper taped to my laptop, lost in thought.

Farming the real land was only the beginning, and I started to do more to enrich my real life.
