2024屆河北省高考英語暑假練習（4）

　　河北省正定縣2024高考英語暑假練習（4）（答案或解析）

　　閱讀下面短文，從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中，選出最佳答案。

　　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．1aws 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(獵物)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 the

　　government to send biologists to study the problem．They believe it necessary to kill wolves in some areas and to protect them in places where there is a small wolf population．

　　Against Killing Wolves

　　If you had lived long ago，you would have heard many different stories about the dangerous

　　wolf．According to most stories，hungry wolves often kill people for food．Even today，the stories of the “big bad wolf'＂will not disappear．

　　But the fact is wolves are afraid of people．and they seldom travel in areas where there is a human smell．When wolves eat other animals，they usually kill the very young．or the sick and injured .The strongest survive .No kind of animal would have survived through the centuries if the weak members had lived．And has always been a law of nature.

　　Although some people say it is good sense to kill wolves，we say it is nonsense! Researchers

　　have found wolves and their prey living in balance．The wolves keep the deer population from

　　becoming too large, and that keeps a balance in the wilderness plant life．

　　The real problem is that the areas where wolves can live are being used by people．Even if wilderness land is not used directly for human needs．the wolves can’t always find enough food .So they travel to the nearest source, which is often a farm．Then there is danger．The “big bad wolf” has arrived! And everyone knows what happens next．

　　選B 文中最后一段可知狼居住的地方被人類占據，它們就會跑到就近的農場等地吃人，那么人類就會反過來殺死它們Passage Three (Pop Stars Earn Much) Pop stars today enjoy a style of living which was once the prerogative only of Royalty. Wherever they go, people turn out in their thousands to greet them. The crowds go wild trying to catch a brief glimpse of their smiling, colorfully dressed idols. The stars are transported in their chauffeur driven Rolls-Royces, private helicopters or executive aeroplanes. They are surrounded by a permanent entourage of managers, press agents and bodyguards. Photographs of them appear regularly in the press and all their comings and goings are reported, for, like Royalty, pop stars are news. If they enjoy many of the privileges of Royalty, they certainly share many of the inconveniences as well. It is dangerous for them to make unscheduled appearances in public. They must be constantly shielded from the adoring crowds which idolize them. They are no longer private individuals, but public property. The financial rewards they receive for this sacrifice cannot be calculated, for their rates of pay are astronomical. And why not? Society has always rewarded its top entertainers lavishly. The great days of Hollywood have become legendary: famous stars enjoyed fame, wealth and adulation on an unprecedented scale. By today’s standards, the excesses of Hollywood do not seem quite so spectacular. A single gramophone record nowadays may earn much more in royalties than the films of the past ever did. The competition for the title ‘Top of the Pops’ is fierce, but the rewards are truly colossal. It is only right that the stars should be paid in this way. Don’t the top men in industry earn enormous salaries for the services they perform to their companies and their countries? Pop stars earn vast sums in foreign currency – often more than large industrial concerns – and the taxman can only be grateful fro their massive annual contributions to the exchequer. So who would begrudge them their rewards? It’s all very well for people in humdrum jobs to moan about the successes and rewards of others. People who make envious remarks should remember that the most famous stars represent only the tip of the iceberg. For every famous star, there are hundreds of others struggling to earn a living. A man working in a steady job and looking forward to a pension at the end of it has no right to expect very high rewards. He has chosen security and peace of mind, so there will always be a limit to what he can earn. But a man who attempts to become a star is taking enormous risks. He knows at the outset that only a handful of competitors ever get to the very top. He knows that years of concentrated effort may be rewarded with complete failure. But he knows, too, that the rewards for success are very high indeed: they are the recompense for the huge risks involved and if he achieves them, he has certainly earned them. That’s the essence of private enterprise. 1.The sentence Pop stars’ style of living was once the prerogative only of Royalty means [A] their life was as luxurious as that of royalty. They enjoy what once only belonged to the royalty. [C] They are rather rich. [D] Their way of living was the same as that of the royalty. 2.What is the author’s attitude toward top stars’ high income?[A] Approval. Disapproval. [C] Ironical. [D] Critical. 3.It can be inferred from the passage [A] there exists fierce competition in climbing to the top. People are blind in idolizing stars. [C] Successful Pop stars give great entertainment. [D] The tax they have paid are great. 4.What can we learn from the passage? [A] Successful man should get high-income repayment. Pop stars made great contribution to a country. [C] Pop stars can enjoy the life of royalty. [D] Successful men represent the tip of the iceberg. 5.Which paragraph covers the main idea? [A] The first. The second. [C] The third. [D] The fourth. Vocabulary1.prerogative ? ? ? ? ? ?權力，（尤指）特權 2.chauffeur ? ? ? ? ? ?受雇開車人，（尤指富人、要人的）司機 3.entourage ? ? ? ? ? ?隨行人員，伴隨者，近侍；建筑物周圍 4.astronomical ? ? ? ? ? ?龐大的，天文的 5.adulation ? ? ? ? ? ?奉承 6.gramophone ? ? ? ? ? ?灌音 7.colossal ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?巨大的 8.exchequer ? ? ? ? ? ?國庫，財源 ?
