European rabbits might not be much to look at.They have a grayish-brown coat，small ears，and short legs.But these animals are not as ordinary as they seem.European rabbits live in grass habitats.They are somewhat picky eaters.They dig and disturb the ground while they look for food.“Their activities can create areas of bare soil which plants require，” rabbit expert Diana Bell says.
Ⅲ.主题语篇阅读
语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了欧洲兔对草地生态系统所发挥的作用、其数量下降的原因以及恢复其数量的措施。
Rabbits also contribute nutrients to the soil after they leave their waste there.Researchers have found that this activity benefits lowland grassland habitats，which can help maintain beneficial conditions for many plants，insects，and bird species.Without the help of rabbits，many of these species would have to leave the area or might even die out.
But due to threats such as disease，habitat loss，and hunting，the animals are classified as endangered in their native region，the Iberian Peninsula.One disease called myxomatosis(兔瘟) is an insect-spread virus from South America that was on purpose introduced by a farmer in the mid-1950s to control the rabbit population.About 90% of European rabbits died during early outbreaks and the disease continues to affect rabbit populations on the Iberian Peninsula.
To help rabbit populations recover，Bell has suggestions in the habitat recovery project.She is encouraging people to do their part to help protect the rabbits.For instance，people can just create piles of branches and make sloping mounds(斜堆) of soil in their spare time and then the rabbits can find cover.Actions like these won’t take people much energy or time，and over the past three years，researchers have found they are working.“Our work resulted in evidence of rabbit activity in significantly higher numbers，” Bell says.
Environmentalists have used other methods to help protect decreasing rabbit populations such as creating wildlife corridors，which are unbroken animal habitats that function like animal highways.“Efforts to reintroduce them on the Iberian Peninsula have been largely unsuccessful but we’ve managed to do this in the UK，” Bell says.
1.What do we know about European rabbits
A.Their appearance makes them unappreciated.
B.They play a role in the grassland ecosystem.
C.Their digging does harm to the local environment.
D.They prefer to cooperate with other species to avoid danger.
√
细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“Researchers have found that this activity benefits lowland grassland habitats，which can help maintain beneficial conditions for many plants，insects，and bird species.”可知，欧洲兔在草地生态系统中发挥着一定的作用。故选B。
解析
2.What can be concluded from the example mentioned in paragraph 3
A.Inappropriate human activity may bring crisis to animals.
B.It is wise to use viruses to control rabbit populations.
C.Wild animals adapt themselves slowly to foreign environments.
D.People should create more bare soil for European rabbits.
√
推理判断题。根据文章第三段中“One disease called myxomatosis(兔瘟) is an insect-spread virus from South America that was on purpose introduced by a farmer in the mid-1950s to control the rabbit population.About 90% of European rabbits died during early outbreaks and the disease continues to affect rabbit populations on the Iberian Peninsula.”可知，这个农民企图通过病毒控制兔子数量，结果导致兔子濒临灭绝，这种行为是不恰当的。由这个例子可得出，人类不当的活动可能会给动物带来危机。故选A。
解析
3.Which of the following can best describe Bell’s suggestions on protecting rabbits
A.Useful but expensive.
B.Traditional and acceptable.
C.Creative but unpopular.
D.Simple and effective.
√
推理判断题。根据文章第四段中“Actions like these won’t take people much energy or time，and over the past three years，researchers have found they are working.”可知，贝尔建议的做法不会耗费过多的精力和时间，所以这些做法是简单的，即simple；过去三年里，这些做法正在发挥作用，说明是有效的，即effective。因此，贝尔的关于保护兔子的建议是简单有效的。故选D。
解析
4.What does the author intend to tell us in the text
A.Ways to create a balanced ecosystem.
B.Efforts to recover the population of European rabbits.
C.Measures to control the spread of European rabbits.
D.Reasons why European rabbits like digging.
√
写作意图题。综合全文可知，文章一开始介绍欧洲兔对生态环境所起到的作用，接着提出欧洲兔由于人类不当的活动而濒临灭绝，从而引出贝尔以及环境学家所提出的恢复兔子数量的措施。所以，本文作者旨在告诉我们人们为恢复欧洲兔数量所付出的努力。故选B。
解析

Ⅲ.主题语篇阅读(共4小题；每小题2.5分，满分10分)
European rabbits might not be much to look at.They have a grayish-brown coat，small ears，and short legs.But these animals are not as ordinary as they seem.European rabbits live in grass habitats.They are somewhat picky eaters.They dig and disturb the ground while they look for food.“Their activities can create areas of bare soil which plants require，” rabbit expert Diana Bell says.
Rabbits also contribute nutrients to the soil after they leave their waste there.Researchers have found that this activity benefits lowland grassland habitats，which can help maintain beneficial conditions for many plants，insects，and bird species.Without the help of rabbits，many of these species would have to leave the area or might even die out.
But due to threats such as disease，habitat loss，and hunting，the animals are classified as endangered in their native region，the Iberian Peninsula.One disease called myxomatosis(兔瘟) is an insect-spread virus from South America that was on purpose introduced by a farmer in the mid-1950s to control the rabbit population.About 90% of European rabbits died during early outbreaks and the disease continues to affect rabbit populations on the Iberian Peninsula.
To help rabbit populations recover，Bell has suggestions in the habitat recovery project.She is encouraging people to do their part to help protect the rabbits.For instance，people can just create piles of branches and make sloping mounds(斜堆) of soil in their spare time and then the rabbits can find cover.Actions like these won’t take people much energy or time，and over the past three years，researchers have found they are working.“Our work resulted in evidence of rabbit activity in significantly higher numbers，” Bell says.
Environmentalists have used other methods to help protect decreasing rabbit populations such as creating wildlife corridors，which are unbroken animal habitats that function like animal highways.“Efforts to reintroduce them on the Iberian Peninsula have been largely unsuccessful but we’ve managed to do this in the UK，” Bell says.

A．Their appearance makes them unappreciated.
B．They play a role in the grassland ecosystem.
C．Their digging does harm to the local environment.
D．They prefer to cooperate with other species to avoid danger.
答案　B
解析　细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“Researchers have found that this activity benefits lowland grassland habitats，which can help maintain beneficial conditions for many plants，insects，and bird species.”可知，欧洲兔在草地生态系统中发挥着一定的作用。故选B。
2．What can be concluded from the example mentioned in paragraph 3
A．Inappropriate human activity may bring crisis to animals.
B．It is wise to use viruses to control rabbit populations.
C．Wild animals adapt themselves slowly to foreign environments.
D．People should create more bare soil for European rabbits.

3．Which of the following can best describe Bell’s suggestions on protecting rabbits
A．Useful but expensive.
B．Traditional and acceptable.
C．Creative but unpopular.
D．Simple and effective.
答案　D
解析　推理判断题。根据文章第四段中“Actions like these won’t take people much energy or time，and over the past three years，researchers have found they are working.”可知，贝尔建议的做法不会耗费过多的精力和时间，所以这些做法是简单的，即simple；过去三年里，这些做法正在发挥作用，说明是有效的，即effective。因此，贝尔的关于保护兔子的建议是简单有效的。故选D。
4．What does the author intend to tell us in the text
A．Ways to create a balanced ecosystem.
B．Efforts to recover the population of European rabbits.
C．Measures to control the spread of European rabbits.
D．Reasons why European rabbits like digging.
答案　B
解析　写作意图题。综合全文可知，文章一开始介绍欧洲兔对生态环境所起到的作用，接着提出欧洲兔由于人类不当的活动而濒临灭绝，从而引出贝尔以及环境学家所提出的恢复兔子数量的措施。所以，本文作者旨在告诉我们人们为恢复欧洲兔数量所付出的努力。故选B。

1．答案　featuring
解析　考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，设空处在句中为非谓语动词修饰The intelligent greenhouse，The intelligent greenhouse和feature之间为逻辑上的主动关系，故用其现在分词作后置定语，故填featuring。
2．答案　As
解析　考查介词。结合句意可知，设空处应该填入介词as 表示“作为”，位于句首，首字母大写，故填As。
3．答案　wisdom
解析　考查名词。设空处使用名词作宾语，应填wisdom“智慧”，为不可数名词，故填wisdom。
