解析:

本文是敘述Christopher Reeve以扮演與邪惡勢力作斗爭的超人而出名。在一次騎馬運動中被摔傷致殘，他堅強地戰(zhàn)勝病魔的故事。

1. C。根據(jù)上文和后面 victory 可得出答案，stand for 意思是“代表、象征”。

2. D。他以前扮演與邪惡勢力作斗爭，“現(xiàn)在”跟自己的病魔作斗爭。

3. A。根據(jù)后面句子的動作和前面分詞所表示的動作是同時發(fā)生的，因此答案選 when，其余不符語境。

4. C。從下文的He cannot move a muscle …h(huán)is shoulder level 可知他的“背部”摔傷了。

5. B。因為肩以上沒有多少肌肉，再根據(jù)前面的 paralyzed(癱瘓)和背部摔傷來判斷是肩“以下”(below)的肌肉不能動彈。

6. C。從病情的嚴重性和后面的 without help 可知不通過幫助連“呼吸”都困難。

7. B。根據(jù)下文主句的意思，前面是表示轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，因此選however。

8. A。根據(jù)前面讓步狀語判斷，雖然他受傷非常嚴重，但是他的目標是盡可能地像“正�！�(因為癱瘓，不是普通)人一樣生活。

9. D。從上文來看，因為他癱瘓了，他花了許多時間游遍全國，所以只能是“游說”(speaking)。

10. C。根據(jù)上文敘述他殘廢了，再根據(jù)后面的 as he is 得出答案：像他那樣情況(situation)的人。

11. B。根據(jù)上文美國有215,000脊髓受傷的人，有90%幸存并能活到很大年齡，從每年花費90億美元判斷，使用這些錢是為患者“治”病的，即“關(guān)心，照料”這些人。

12. A。根據(jù)后面的 to find a cure 得知花費500萬美元是為了“研究”(research)發(fā)現(xiàn)治愈的方法。

13. C。根據(jù)上下文判斷，他是一位“意志堅強的”(determined)人。

14. D。因為他是一位意志堅強的人，所以他不能接受“不能再走路”的事實。

15. B。根據(jù)上下文 research 一詞可以得出是科學(xué)家(scientists)。

16. A。根據(jù)上文500萬美元用來找到治愈脊髓癱瘓病的研究，money 指用來研究的“資金”。

17. B。如上所述，都是為改善“殘疾”人的生活。

18. C。根據(jù)動詞 make 盡他的職責，其余都是表示疾病或精神，不與 make 一起使用。

19. C。因為他是一位意志堅強的人，作了很大的努力，因此說他已經(jīng)戰(zhàn)勝了他的“殘疾”(disability)。

20. B。根據(jù)文章第1段第1句話可得出答案。

Antarctic seabirds are breeding（繁殖）later, because thinner sea ice is causing their food supplies to decline, a new study says. The birds, which nest in East Antarctica, have delayed their spring arrival by an average of nine days and egg-laying by an average of two days over the past 50 years, according to polar researchers from the French National Center for Scientific Research in Villiers en Bois, France, study authors Christophe Barbrand and Henri Weimerskirch attribute this later breeding activity to decreases in sea ice caused by climate change.

The researchers say the disappearing sea ice, combined with a longer sea-ice season, has interfered with the birds’ breeding cycle by reducing the amount of krill（磷蝦） and other prey（獵物）available in early spring in Antarctica. Because Antarctica’s seasons are opposite those in the Northern Hemisphere, spring on the icy continent begins in October.

The study is based on data collected at seabird colonies between 1950 and 2004 in Adélie Land, on the eastern edge of the frozen continent.

The findings were published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Of the nine species studied, some arrived up to 30 days later than they had in previous years.

Despite much later arrivals, the birds are laying their eggs at pretty much the same time as they had in the past. In the most extreme cases, birds were laying their eggs an average of 3. 7 days later in the season than they were 50 years ago.

56. What is the passage mainly about?

A. Seabirds are breeding later in East Antarctica.

B. The amount of krill in the ocean has decreased.

C. The weather in Antarctica has changed.

D. The spring in Antarctica is beginning later.

57. Why have the seabirds in East Antarctica delayed their breeding?

A. The food there has been polluted.

B. The sea ice doesn’t shrink any more.

C. The food supplies there have declined.

D. There are too many seabirds there.

58. In which of the following months is it autumn in Antarctica?

A. October.                                                     B. September.

C. November.                                                  D. June.

59. How many kinds of seabirds were studied by the researchers?

A. Two.                B. Five.                             C. Nine.                       D. Thirty.

60. What does the underlined word “attribute”in Para. 1 mean?

A. contribute                                                    B. cause

C. owe                                                                   D. devote
