短篇阅读1

The gorilla has the misfortune to be native to an area that has been ravaged by war. Rwanda and the Congo are war-tom nations, and the resulting damage to habitat has affected gorillas as well as humans. Gorilla populations have also been ransacked by the Ebola virus, which has killed an estimated 90 percent of the gorilla population in each area of western and central Africa where it has been found.

The number one threat to gorillas, however, is human greed. Humans are burning down the forests where the last remaining gorilla families live. They are doing this to harvest charcoal, which is used to fuel cooking fires throughout the region. In addition, they are poaching the last remaining gorillas for meat and for their hands or other parts, which are considered a delicacy in Africa and are used medicinally in parts of Asia.

Which of the following best states the author's main point?

(A) Gorillas are not designed for survival.

(B) Poaching must be outlawed.

(D) We must protect our ape cousins.

(E) Ebola affects everyone in Africa.

参考答案：C.

Based on information in the passage, about how many gorillas have survived Ebola in regions where the virus is prevalent?

(A) about 1 percent

(B) about 1 in 10

(D) nearly 9 in 10

(E) nearly 4 in 5

参考答案：B。

短篇阅读2

The bright star we call Sirius is really a binary star—a gigantic white star known as Sirius A and a far smaller dwarf called Sirius B. Sirius A is truly massive—about twice the size of our sun and around 25 times more luminous.

Seen with the naked eye, the two stars coalesce into a single bright object in the nighttime sky. Sirius’s existence was recorded by the ancient Egyptians, who used its initial date of visibility—the date at which the earth's rotation moves it far enough from the glare of our sun to be clearly seen—as the basis for their calendar. Its extreme brightness frightened the ancient Greeks, who ascribed to it evil powers. It wasn't until 1844 that astronomer Friedrich Bessel determined that Sirius must have an invisible companion star, and in 1862, American Alvan Graham Clark finally observed the tiny Sirius B.

Which statement could most logically follow the final sentence in the passage?

(A) The Romans liked to celebrate the setting of Sirius with a canine sacrifice.

(B) We see Sirius as extraordinarily bright due to its proximity to Earth.

(D) More recently, orbital irregularities have suggested a third, even smaller companion.

(E) Sirius is nicknamed the “Dog Star”, as it is part of the Canis Major constellation.

参考答案：D.

Consider each of the choices separately and select all that apply.

The passage suggests that Sirius A is unusual in which of the following qualities?

A radiance

B density

C hue

参考答案：AC.
