Spanish explorers called them Las Encantadas, the Enchanted Isles, and Charles Darwin used his studies of the islands as the foundation for his theory of natural selection. The Galapagos are among the world's most important scientific treasures, a group of volcanic islands surrounded by deserted beaches and inhabited by unique varieties of giant tortoise, lizards, and birds.
Yet life on this United Nations world heritage site has turned sour. Battles have broken out between fishermen and conservationists. Ecuador, which owns the islands, has sent a naval patrol (海軍巡邏隊) to put down disturbances.
The controversial director of the Galapagos National Park—which controls 97 percent of Galapagos land and the reserve extending to 40 miles offshore—has been fired, while an air of uneasy tension hangs over the islands, as the islanders prepare for election when they pick their representatives in Ecuador’s national assembly.
“It’s a very tense situation,” said Leonor Stjepic, director of the London-based Galapagos Conservation Trust, which raises money to help projects on the islands. “We are watching it with concern.”
The violence has been triggered by an alarming growth in the islands’ population. Puerto Ayora, on Santa Cruz island, housed just 45 inhabitants in the 50s. Today there are more than 10,000, while the islands' total population is more than 19,000 and growing by 6 percent a year, despite recently introduced a law to limit waves of immigrants fleeing the poor areas of Ecuador for a life “in paradise (天堂)”. On top ofthis, more than 100,000 tourists visit the islands every year.
Such numbers have put the islands, special ecology under intense pressure. Conservationists backed by the Ecuador government, have replied by exercising strict controls to protect the islands* iguanas, blue-footed boobies, and giant tortoises.
These moves have angered many local people, however. They want to exploit (開發(fā)利用) the islands’ waters and catch its protected species of sharks, lobsters and sea cucumbers, which can fetch high prices in Japan and South Korea.
Angry fishermen surrounded the Charles Darwin research station on Santa Cruz last February, threatened to kill Lonesome George—the last surviving member of the Pinta Island species of the Galapagos giant tortoise.
The situation got improved after the Ecuador government made concessions (讓步) by increasing fishing quotas (配額), which angered conservationists. “It is tragic, the short-term gain of a few fishermen versus the long-term survival of the Galapagos,” said John McCosker of the California Academy of Sciences. “They are killing the golden goose.”
Then, the Ecuador government appointed Fausto Cepeda as the national park's new director, a post that has become a political football for the mainland government. There have been nine directors in the past 18 months.
This appointment was particularly controversial, however. Cepeda was known to have close ties with the fishing industry, and the rangers (管理員),who run the national park and reserve, rebelled.
More than 300 staged a sit-in at the park’s headquarters and prevented Cepeda from taking up his post. A battle broke out, and at least two people suffered serious injuries. Eventually, Cepeda—with the fishermen’s help- entered the park. “I am in office, i am in control. And I am trying to lower the tension,” he announced.
The Ecuador government took no chances, and sent a patrol boat to maintain the peace. A few days later, Ecuador Environment Minister Fabian Valdivicso met representatives of rangers. After discussions, he told newspapers that he had decided to remove Cepeda from the post.
However, as the population continues to rise, the long-term pressures on the islands are serious and will not disappear that easily.
“We have to balance its special environment with the needs of local people. In that sense, it is a microcosm (縮影) for all the other threatened parts of the world. So getting it right here is going to be a very, very important trick to pull off,” said Stjepic.

2016高考訓(xùn)練題。閱讀理解。
閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項。
For six hours we: shot through the landscape of the Karoo desert in South Africa. Just rocks and sand and baking sun. Knowing our journey was ending, Daniel and I just wanted to remember all we had seen and done. He used a camera. I used words. I had already finished three notebooks and was into the fourth, a beautiful leather notebook I’d bought in a market in Mozambique.
Southern Africa was full of stories. And visions. We were almost drank on sensations. The roaring of the at Victoria Falls, the impossible silence of the Okavango Delta in Botswana. And then the other things: dogs in the streets, whole families in Soweto living in one room, a kilometre from clean water.
As we drove towards the setting sun, a quietness fell over us. The road was empty—we hadn’t seen another car for hours. And as I drove, something caught my eye, something moving next to me. I glanced in the mirror of the car; I glanced sideways to the right, and that was when I saw them. Next to us, by the side of the road, thirty, forty wild horses were racing the car, a cloud of dust rising behind them—brown, muscular horses almost close enough to touch them, to smell their hot breath. I didn’t know how long they had been there next to us.
I shouted to Dan: “Look!”, but he was in a deep sleep, his camera lying useless by his feet. They raced the car for a few seconds, then disappeared far behind us, a memory of heroic forms in the red landscape. When Daniel woke up an hour later I told him what had happened.
“Wild horses?” he said. “Why didn’t you wake me up?”
“I tried. But they were gone after a few seconds.”
“Are you sure you didn’t dream it?”
“You were the one who was sleeping!”
“Typical,” he said. “The best photos are the ones we never take.”
We checked into a dusty hotel and slept the sleep of the dead.
1. During their journey in Africa, the two travelers ________.
A. made friends with local residents
B. recorded their experiences in different ways
C. enjoyed the sunset in the Karoo desert most
D. complained about the poor living conditions
2. What does the phrase “heroic forms” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Wild horses. B. Racing ears.
C. Eye-catching locals. D. Running dogs.
3. What did Daniel think when he woke up and was told what had happened?
A. A sound sleep was more important. B. He had already taken beautiful pictures.
C. He always missed out on the best thing. D. The next trip would be better.
4. What’s the passage mainly about?
A. How to view wildlife in Africa. B. Possible dangers of travelling in the desert.
C. Tourist attractions in southern Africa. D. Running into wildlife in Africa.

[故事型閱讀理解]
The 30 miles of steep(陡峭的)roads that snake through the mountains of Logan Canyon in Utah are enough to make most drivers' hands sweat. But Andersen, a 46yearold father of four, wasn't expecting any trouble on the road last New Year's Eve, when he set off for a ski trip to the Bear River Mountains with nineyearold daughter Mia, fouryearold son Baylor, and nineyearold neighbour Kenya. Andersen had driven through the Canyon hundreds of times over the years.
The weather was fine—but the higher they drove, the more slippery the roads became. Rounding a sharp Uturn at mile marker 473, Andersen saw a truck that had skated off the road and immediately tapped his brakes. In an instant, the car was sliding at 25 miles per hour towards the shoulder of the highway, then rolling down a steep tenfoot dam towards the extremely cold Logan River. As it hit the water, the car tipped towards the passenger side, hesitated, and then rolled onto its roof and sank into the river.
There was no time to tell the kids what to do. The crash had broken a few windows, and within seconds, the upsidedown car was filled with water. “It was frightening how fast we were completely underwater,” remembers Andersen, a softspoken product development manager. “You're thinking, is this how it's all going to end?”
Having lost the sense of direction, Andersen began to search the freezing water for the kids. Mia had been right next to him in the front seat; now, in the blackness, he couldn't find her. “I thought, if I don't get out, maybe none of us are going to get out.” Andersen got out of his seat belt, swam through a broken window, and, deeply and quickly, breathed air at the surface. That's when he saw a group of men, about ten in all, appear at the top of the dam. One after another, they raced down into the water. Helping onto safety all the three children, they began to shout at the father, “Who else is in the car?” Andersen says respectfully, “It_was_like_the_sight_of_angels_(天使). ”
1. What might be the main reason for the car accident?
A. The sharp Uturn. B. The steep dam.
C. The sudden brake. D. A truck hitting the car.
2. Andersen didn't expect any trouble on the road because ________.
A. he was familiar with the road
B. he was good at driving
C. his hands didn't have sweat
D. the weather was fine
3. What can be learned from the last paragraph?
A. Andersen lost conciousness in the water.
B. Strangers helped Andersen out of the car.
C. Andersen liked Mia most among the children.
D. Strangers teamed together to save the three children.
4. The underlined sentence is to express Andersen's feeling of being________.
A. tired B. excited
C. doubtful D. grateful
5. Which of the following can be the best title of the text?
A. Stay Calm When in Trouble
B. Drive Rounding a Uturn
C. Miracle Rescue from an Icy River
D. Mystery of the Bear River Mountains
(二)
【要點綜述】 本文主要介紹了Andersen開車帶三個孩子上盤山公路時遭遇車禍而死里逃生的故事。
1.C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二段第二句“Rounding a sharp Uturn at mile marker 473, Andersen saw a truck that had skated off the road and immediately tapped his brakes.”可知是急剎車導(dǎo)致了這一次事故。

3.D 推理判斷題。由最后一段最后幾句“That's when he saw a group of men, about ten in all, appear at the top of the dam. One after another, they raced down into the water. Helping onto safety all the three children…”可知,一些陌生人一起努力協(xié)作救了三個孩子。
4.D 推理判斷題。由最后一句話中Andersen把他們比喻成天使可知,他是心存感激的。
5.C 主旨大意題。綜觀全文可知,本文主要講述了在一個結(jié)冰的日子,陌生人結(jié)隊拯救車禍中的三個孩子的故事,故C項為最佳選項。
高考英語沖刺閱讀理解專項----A
I’ve written 14 movies.My characters smoke in many of them, and they look cool and glamorous(有魅力的) doing it.Smoking was an integral(必需的) part of many of my screenplays because I was a heavy smoker.It was part of a bad-boy image I’d cultivated for a long time— smoking, drinking, partying, rock ’n’ roll.
Smoking, I once believed, was every person’s right.The second-hand smoke was non-existent problem invented by professional do-gooders.I put all these views into my plays.
Remembering all this, I find it hard to forgive myself.I have been an accomplice (幫兇) to the murders of untold numbers of human beings.I am admitting this only because I have made a deal with God.Spare me, I said, and I will try to stop others from committing the same crimes I did.
Eighteen months ago I was diagnosed with throat cancer, the result of a lifetime of smoking.I am alive but disabled.Much of my larynx (喉) is gone.I have some difficulty speaking; others have some difficulty understanding me.
I haven’t smoked or drunk for 18 months now, though I still take it day by day and pray for help.I believe in prayer and exercise.I have walked five miles a day for a year, without missing even one day.Quitting smoking and drinking has taught me the hardest lesson I’ve ever learned about my own weakness; it has also given me the greatest affection and empathy(同感) for those still addicted.
I don’t think smoking is every person’s right anymore.I think smoking should be as illegal as heroin(海洛因).I’m no longer such a bad boy.I go to church on Sunday.I’m desperate to see my four boys grow up.I want to do everything I can to undo the damage I have done with my own big-screen words and images.
Screen writers know, too, that some movie stars are more likely to play a part if they can smoke —because they are so addicted to smoking that they have difficulty stopping even during the shooting of a scene.
My hands are bloody; so are Hollywood’s.My cancer has caused me to attempt to cleanse(徹底清潔) me.I don’t wish my fate upon anyone in Hollywood, but I beg that Hollywood should stop putting it upon millions of others.
1. The main idea of this passage probably is _________.
A. the writer is ashamed of the bad effects his screenplays have had on human beings
B. the writer’s smoking experience nearly killed himself
C. the bad effects that Hollywood screenplay have brought to children
D. the determination of the writer to overcome his illness
答案解析:答案為A。本題為文章大意題。第一段作者引入話題,在他創(chuàng)作的電影中,很多人物吸煙,吸煙是他的作品中必需的,這些吸煙的場景影響了人們,
后面的段落介紹作者因為吸煙而患上了喉癌,深受其苦,也表達(dá)了他深深的懺悔之意,最后一段表達(dá)作者的希望,希望好萊塢電影不再有吸煙的場景,讓厄運(yùn)降臨到別人身上。故本文的大意為作者對他的熒幕劇對人們產(chǎn)生的壞影響感到慚愧。故答案為A。B、D是文中的細(xì)節(jié),C選項在文中未提及,均不選。
2. How do you think the writer has realized his mistake?
A. So many people have found the habit of smoking due to his plays.
B. His plays have brought great harm to teenagers.
C. He himself suffered greatly from smoking.
D. His screenplays have been doing more and more harm to human beings.
答案解析:答案為C。本題為推理題。由第三段的首句提到的 “…I find it hard to forgive myself”和該段最后一句提到的 “…and I will try to stop others from committing the same crimes I did.”, 以及第四段首句 “Eighteen months ago I was diagnosed with throat cancer, the result of a lifetime of smoking.” 可知,作者難以原諒自己,將會努力阻止別人和他一樣犯相同的罪,因為他診斷有吸煙導(dǎo)致的喉癌,故答案為C,作者自己深受吸煙之害。
A選項與題干無關(guān);B選項未提及;D選項夸大了他的作品的危害,均不選。
3. According to the passage, what does the underlined sentence mean?
A. He has made up his mind to give up smoking forever.
B. He will try his best to prevent others from writing screen plays encouraging smoking.
C. He will try his best to bring up his four children.
D. He has decided to write his screenplays without smoking scenes.
答案解析:答案為D。本題為語義理解題。劃線部分所在的句意為“我會盡我一切所能來消除我在熒幕上創(chuàng)作的文字和形象給人們帶來的傷害”。這種傷害來自第一段提到的作者的作品中吸煙是必需的場景,由此可以推斷,劃線部分意為作者決定在自己的作品中不再有吸煙場景。故答案為D。
4. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.
A. the writer will soon be recovered from his illness thanks to his exercise
B. the writer will soon die because of his deadly disease
C. smoking will be got rid of in all Hollywood films
D. smoking in Hollywood films is still doing great harm to human beings
答案解析:答案為D。本題為推理題。由第四段第二句話 “I am alive but disabled.” 可知,作者雖然活著但是殘疾了,故A、B選項錯誤。由最后一段最后一句話 “I don’t wish my fate upon anyone in Hollywood, but I beg that Hollywood should stop putting it upon millions of others.” 可知,作者不希望自己的命運(yùn)降臨到好萊塢的任何人身上,但是乞求好萊塢應(yīng)該阻止吸煙導(dǎo)致的危害降臨到成千上萬人的身上,可以推斷,好萊塢電影上出現(xiàn)的吸煙場景仍然在對人們造成傷害,故C選項錯誤,D選項正確。
