The Pacific island nation of Nauru used to be a beautiful place.Now it is an ecological disaster area.Nauru’s heartbreaking story could have one good consequence—other countries might learn from its mistakes.
For thousands of years,Polynesian people lived on the remote island of Nauru,far from western civilization.The first European to arrive was John Fearn in 1798.He was the British captain of the Hunter,a whaling ship.He called the island Pleasant Island.
However,because it was very remote,Nauru had little communication with Europeans at first.Then whaling ships and other traders began to visit,bringing guns and alcohol.These elements destroyed the social balance of the twelve family groups on the island.A ten-year civil war started,which reduced the population from 1400 to 900.
Nauru’s real troubles began in 1899 when a British mining company discovered phosphate(磷酸盐)on the island.In fact,it found that the island of Nauru was nearly all phosphate,which is a very impo rtant fertilizer for farming.The company began mining the phosphate.
A phosphate mine is not a hole in the ground;it is a strip mine.When a company strip- mines,it removes the top layer of soil.Then it takes away the material it wants.Strip-mining totally destroys the land.Gradually,the lovely island of Nauru started to look like the moon.
In 1968,Nauru became one o f the richest countries in the world.Every year the government received millions and millions of dollars for its phosphate.
Unfortunately,the leaders invested the money unwisely and lost millions of dollars.In addition,they used millions more dollars for personal expenses.Soon people realized that they had a terrible problem—their phosphate was running out.Ninety percent of their island was destroyed and they had nothing.By 2000,Nauru was almost financially ruined.Experts say that it would take approximately $433,600,000 and more than 20 years to repair the island.This will probably never happen.
1.What might be the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A.To seek help for Nauru’s problems.
B.To give a warning to other countries.
C.To show the importance of money.
D.To tell a heartbreaking story of a war.
提示主旨大意题。文章第一段提到瑙鲁前后的变化以及该段最后一句“...other countries might learn from its mistakes.”可知作者的写作目的是为了引起其他国家的重视,以示警告。故选B项。
答案B
2.What was Nauru like before the Europeans came?
A.Rich and powerful.
B.Modern and open.
C.Peaceful and attractive.
D.Greedy and aggressive.
提示细节理解题。根据第一段第一句“...used to be a beautiful place.”以及第二段第一句“...lived on the remote island of Nauru, far from western civilization.”可知瑙鲁在欧洲人到来之前是一个安定而美丽的地方。
答案C
3.The ecological disaster in Nauru resulted from .
A.soil pollution
B.phosphate overmining
C.farming activity
D.whale hunting
提示细节理解题。文章第四段提到一家英国矿业公司发现瑙鲁含有丰富的磷酸盐后开始开采,第五段又说明了这种露天矿的开采破坏了土壤的表层,最终使得“...the lovely island of Nauru started to look like the moon.”。因此可以看出其生态灾难是由过度的采矿引起的,故B项正确。
答案B
4.What can we learn about Nauru from the last paragraph?
A.The ecological damage is difficult to repair.
B.The leaders will take the experts’ words seriously.
C.The island was abandoned by the Nauruans.
D.The phosphate mines were destroyed .
提示推理判断题。结合文章最后一段倒数第二句专家所说的修复瑙鲁(岛)需要花的钱和时间,以及最后一句“This will probably never happen.”可以推断一旦造成生态破坏,是很难修复的。故选A项。
答案A
B

Their cheery song brightens many a winter’s day.But robins are in danger of wearing themselves out by singing too much.Robins are singing all night—as well as during the day,British-based researchers say.
David Dominoni,of Glasgow University,said that light from street lamps,take away signs and homes is affecting the birds’ biological clocks,leading to them being wide awake when they should be asleep.
Dr Dominoni,who is putting cameras inside nesting boxes to track sleeping patterns,said lack of sleep could put the birds’ health at risk.His study shows that when robins are exposed to light at night in the lab,it leads to some genes being active at the wrong time of day.And the more birds are exposed to light,the more active they are at night.
He told people at a conference,“There have been a couple of studies suggesting they are increasing their song output at night and during the day they are still singing.Singing is a costly 第二十三单元过关检测

Four days later Ann was still looking after the dog,whom they had started to call Riley.When she arrived home from work,the dog threw itself against the screen door and barked madly at her.As soon as she opened the door,Riley dashed into the boys’ room where Ann found Jacffering a heart attack.Riley ran over to Jact as soon as Ann bent over to help him the dog went silent.
“If it hadn’t come to get me,the doctor said Jacld have died,”Ann reported to a local newspaper.At this point,no one had called to claim the dog,so Ann decided to keep it.
The next morning Tracy got a call.A man named Peter recognized his lost dog and called the number on the flier.Tracy started crying,and told him,“That dog saved my friend’s son.”

Dear Principal Walker,
As president of Sullivan Junior High School’s Student Union,I have been chosen to write to you on behalf of(代表) the eighth grade class.We would liggest an eighth grade trip to Sea World in San Diego,California.
