16、-based publisher that launched (发行 ) the Harry Potter books, has come to an end, at least in terms of new works by the author. Rowling is keeping her fans guessing about the characters and plot of her new book. She only said that the new novel will be nothing like the Harry Potter series, which was
17、sold over 30 million copies in the UK alone. She thought that with the move from childrens to adult fiction, a switch to a new publisher seemed like a natural and reasonable step. She said, Although Ive enjoyed writing it every bit as much, this book will be very different from the Harry Potter seri
18、es. The freedom to explore a new field is a gift that Harrys success has brought me. Ian Rankin, the Edinburgh-based author whose highly-successful detective novels are also set in the city, suggested Rowlings book will be a crime novel. Wouldnt it be funny if JK Rowlings first novel for adults turn
19、ed out to be a crime story set in Edinburgh he said. Industry insiders guessed that the deal is worth more than 5 million and the new book is expected to come out later this year. A spokesman said, JK Rowlings audience is vast and her position is unique. Harry Potter books were a global success and

25、 B The koala, one of Australias most treasured creatures, is in trouble. Affected by habitat (栖居地 ) loss and climate change, like many other uniquely Australian animals, koalas are being squeezed into smaller regions. But at present, it is a deadly disease, a somewhat silent killer that causes a fur
26、ther decline in the koala population, that is worrying many scientists about the fate of the koala. The killer is Chlamydia, which has caused symptoms in up to 50 percent of the wild koalas, with probably even more infected (感染 ) but not showing symptoms. It has been particularly severe in Queenslan
27、d, where nearly all koalas are infected. The disease causes many symptoms including eye infections, which can lead to blindness, making it difficult for them to find their primary food. Treating Chlamydia in wild koalas is a challenge. There is no treatment available for it. Only a small percentage
28、of the animals can be treated successfully and returned to the wild. Besides, there is no national plan in Australia to save the koala; it is up to each region to make management plans for its koala population. The good news is that researchers are working to test a vaccine (疫苗 ) that would help pre
29、vent further spread. If all goes well, plans can be carried out to distribute the vaccine more widely. But its impossible to vaccinate (给注射疫苗 ) all wild koalas. Another possibility would be to make vaccine distribution a routine part of treatment for the thousands of koalas brought into care centers
30、 every year after they are injured by cars or dogs. While it is a combination of problems that are affecting the wild koala population, many experts believe this vaccine would be an important step in helping koalas survive longer. It may be enough time to give researchers a chance to solve some of t
31、he other problems facing Austalias koalas. 【小题 1】 Which isnt considered the main cause of koalas population decline A A deadly disease. B Injuries from cars and dogs. C Climate change. D Habitat loss. 【小题 2】 The third paragraph mainly tells us . A the serious result Chlamydia has caused to the koala
32、 B Chlamydia affected the koala only in particular regions C the most serious symptom of Chlamydia is eye infections D Chlamydia can seriously affect koalas primary food 【小题 3】 We can learn from the text that the vaccine . A would cure the killer Chlamydia quite effectively B would only be distribut
33、ed in koala care centers C has already been put into practical use in Australia D cannot be distributed to all the infected koalas 【小题 4】 It can be inferred from the text that . A a national plan for saving koalas will be made soon in Australia B koala population is declining only in a few regions C
34、 researchers need enough time to solve the koala problems D experts have lost the best chance to save the infected koalas 答案： 【小题 1】 B 【小题 2】 A 【小题 3】 D 【小题 4】 C The International Space Station allows astronauts to live in space for extended amounts of time, enabling them to explore the outside univ
35、erse and conduct many experiments. However, nothing like that exists for our oceans, and thanks to the high water pressure, ocean researchers are able to explore what lies undersea for very short periods of time. They are therefore never able to fully explore the deep inside areas of our oceans. How
36、ever, if French architect Jacques Rougerie has his way, that will change soon. Jacqucs has designed a ship that will allow researchers to spend a long period of time observing the sea life and conducting experiments. The huge 167ft ship, named Sea Orbiter, consists of two areasone above the water wh
37、ere the scientists and crew will live, and a lower pressurized deck (甲板 ), where scientists will be able to spend as much time as they wish. Since it is powered by sea currents and wind, he expects it to drift (漂流 ) along the oceans slowly, taking about two years to circumvent the globe. Jacques wil
38、l make their life as comfortable as possible in the ship. Besides being equipped with the latest sailing tools and communication equipment, the ship will also have a gym, a television and a DVD player. And these guys will not be eating freeze-dried food like astronauts. Instead, Jacques, an accompli
39、shed chef, plans on cooking them delicious meals every day. The biggest problem to this giant ship is the cost, which is expected to be over $500 millionper ship! However, Jacques, who strongly believes that the secrets of our oceans may be the key to solving global warming and a vital supply for fo
40、od and medicine in the future, is confident he will be able to convince governments all over the world to help out, and expects to start construction on not one, but four or five of these amazing ships soon! 【小题 1】 Why cant ocean researchers explore the deep oceans for a long time A Because they can
41、t stand the high water pressure. B Because its too cold in deep ocean. C Because time for experiments is too limited. D Because its dangerous to observe the sea life. 【小题 2】 The underlined word circumvent probably means . A fly away B get around C travel through D move into 【小题 3】 From the fourth pa

A Jacques intends to design the ship mainly for sightseeing and traveling B living a comfortable life helps to do the ocean research quickly C its much more expensive to eat freeze-dried food D researchers on Jacques ship will live more comfortably than astronauts 【小题 4】

44、sure of some local businesses, the City Council in West Hollywood, California, voted without opposition last week to ban the sale of fur products. Should laws be involved in this issue Is it unfair to ban sales of fur, but not sales of leather and hides (兽皮 ) Animals Do Not Have Rights By Tibor R. M
45、achan My view is that animals do not have basic rights. It is a matter of ethics (伦理学 ) and not of the laws of human societies. If animals had such rights as human beings do, they would have to be held responsible for killing fellow animals in the wild. That way of thinking about animals makes a cat
46、egory mistake. Using animals, including their fur or organs, to improve peoples lives is acceptable. A Small Step Against Cruelty By Kate Carter Both fur and leather are the skins of dead animals. Why should we think that the lovable furry ones deserve more of a life than the less pleasing ones Some
47、 say leather is less cruel because its a byproduct (副产品 ) of the meat industry. But this isnt really true. Some cheap leather may be a byproduct of the meat industry, but often its the other way round. In South Africa, where there is a developing market for ostrich(鸵鸟 )farms, the skins account for r
48、oughly 80 percent of the slaughtered (宰杀 )birds value, a mere 20 percent of which comes from the meat. Who Are You Wearing By Marc Bekoff West Hollywoods ban is a move in the right direction. However, we must work to ban the sales of leather and hides, too. Furs come from animals who are attacked to become clothing, while some leather and hides come from slaughterhouse(屠宰场 ) animals. We must remember that when people choose to wear fur, leather and hides, they are wearing formering conscious beings. So its a matter of who they are wearing, not what they are wearing beca
