10、t problem.At least 15 million cats wander the continent, living on up to 75 million native animals every day.The cats have been called the biggest threat facing Australians wildlife and have already been linked to as many as 30 extinctions. Previous attempts to trap and kill cats havent been very ef

11、fective, but now a new solution is likely to be adopted.Ifs called Eradicat-a combination of kangaroo meat, chicken fat, and a deadly poison called 1080, which has proven successful in other attempts to remove invasive species.Under trial conditions, it managed to kill between 70 percent and 80 perc

12、ent of the cats that consumed it.The 1080 poison is a good solution for the state of Western Australia because it is made from plants that grow there.The native animals in these areas have evolved a resistance to it through evolving with the plants.Buckminster was the lead author of a paper publishe

13、d last year in the journal PLOSONE that examined the risk 1080 might bring to native species.The study found that species that did not evolve with the plants would face a greater risk from the poison.Buckminster suggested that the deployment （部署）of Eradicat should be timed at a point when cats dont

14、have a lot of other readily available food.Even once the poison is deployed, other cat-control techniques such as shooting, trapping, and fencing will need to continue.Buckminster said he feels nothing will ever completely solve the problem， but 1080 is an important tool that can be used to reduce t

15、he population to a level where native animals are less at risk and potentially able to grow their populations/9Of course not everyone supports the use of 1080.The Australian charity, The World League for Protection of Animals, calls it “cruel”. Buckminster acknowledged that “it is simply not possibl

16、e to guarantee that no nontarget animal will ever take a bait （诱饵） and die, “ but he said the risk of not using the bait is higher if cats continue their eating. In my view, it becomes a choice-deploy the bait and potentially risk the death of a few native animals, or dont deploy the bait and guaran

17、tee the death of many, “ Buckminster said.K语篇解读本文是一篇说明文。澳洲土著动物受外来猫科动物侵害的问题非 常严重，现在人们想出了更好的方法解决这个问题：从土著动物已经适应的植物 中提取毒素来毒死外来物种。4 .The cat problem in Australia can be described as.A plicatedB.seriousC.disappointingD.mysteriousK答 案X B K推理判断题。根据第一段中的数据及“living on up to 75 million native animals.been link

20、course not everyone supports the use of 1080.“可知，有人认为,使用1080（这种毒素）”非常残忍，因 此不支持它的使用。D7.What Buckminster said in the last paragraph means.A.its impossible to guarantee the death of catsB.its dangerous to place baits everywhereC.ifs worth killing cats at some costD.its easy to deploy the poisonK答 案H C

21、K推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“but he said the risk of not using the bait is higher if cats continue their eating”可知,Buckminster 认为 不使用 Eradicat 这种诱饵捕杀外来猫科动物的风险更大，由此可推测，他认为即使有所代价，用 这种方法捕杀外来猫科动物也是值得的。DH.阅读七选五I did not go on my first hike until my mid_30s.I could blame it on the fact that I grew up on the Great Plai

27、左右才开始第一次远 足而后喜欢上爬山的经历，作者认为这种锻炼方式提供了一个让生活慢下来、脱 离尘世的机会。1 .D K前一句讲到，“我”可以把35岁左右之前从未远足过归咎于“我”生活 在大平原上，结合空后一句可知，此处隐含的意思是：真实原因并非如此。故D 项“但是老实说，我主要是不感兴趣罢了”符合语境。D.G第一段讲“我”对远足不感兴趣，本空之后讲的是“我”的一次远足经历，因此空处应涉及一次远足的内容，故K答案为G。.B K上一段讲第一次远足的经历，本段讲其后的远足经历和计划，故本空为 总结句，应表示经过了第一次远足后，“我”爱上了爬山，应选BI4 .A K前一句讲到“我”不认为自己是一个专业远足者，后一句讲“我”并没 有计划去爬世界高峰或挑战高难度的远足，因此本空应该讲“我”远足的运动强 度不高，应选A项。.F K前后两句都在讲远足的好处，故此处也应是同样的，故F项“它（远足）提 供了一个让生活慢下来、脱离尘世的机会”符合语境。H
