通用版
(2009?全国卷Ⅰ)It's not easy being a teenager (13至19岁青少年)—nor is it easy being the parent of a teenager.You can make your child feel angry，hurt，or misunderstood by what you say without realizing it yourself.It is important to give your child the space he needs to grow while gently letting him know that you'll still be there for him when he needs you.
Expect a lot from your child，just not everything.Except for health and safety problems，such as drug use or careless driving，consider everything else open to discussion.If your child is unwilling to discuss something，don't insist he tell you what's on his mind.The more you insist，the more likely that he'll clam_up.Instead，let him attempt to solve (解决) things by himself.At the same time，remind him that you're always there for him should he seek advice or help.Show respect for your teenager's privacy(隐私)．Never read his mail or listen in on personal conversations.
Teach your teenager that the family phone is for the whole family.If your child talks on the family's telephone for too long，tell him he can talk for 15 minutes，but then he must stay off the phone for at least an equal period of time.This not only frees up the line so that other family members can make and receive calls，but teaches your teenager moderation (节制)．Or if you are open to the idea，allow your teenager his own phone that he pays for with his own pocket money or a part-time job.

山东、天津专用
Until March 28，the fate of the gray wolf in the Rocky Mountains was in the hands of the federal government because the wolf was listed as an endangered species.But once it was removed from the list—a decision that is being challenged in court by a dozen conservation groups—the gray wolf fell under the protection of individual states.That is turning out to mean almost no protection at all.
Idaho's Fish and Game department announced last week that it would allow 428 of the state's estimated 1,000 wolves to die this year.Some will die of natural causes.Most will be killed by hunters.
Idaho officials argue that the remaining population will still be larger than the very small number to be protected in the original federal wolf recovery plans.But Idaho's Fish and Game department has overruled its own staff biologists, who for the good of the wolf population—and the ecosystem(生态系统) as a whole—argued that more animals should be allowed to survive.
Sadly，in Idaho, wolves are nothing more than another game animal to be managed for the benefit of human hunters.
Beginning on Sept.15, any Idaho hunter with a hunting license and $10.50 for a wolf tag will be entitled to shoot one wolf, at least until the quota(限额)of dead wolves in his region has been reached.And how will a hunter know if the local quota has been reached? There will be a hot line, of course.
Hunters will be encouraged not to shoot wolves wearing radio collars because those wolves are still being studied.Perhaps the solution is to fit all wolves with radio collars.
It is still possible that Idaho's wolves—and the wolves in other states—will get a reprieve.A federal judge will soon decide whether to support or object to the government's decision to delist the gray wolf.We hope he will restore the wolf to the endangered species list.There is no better proof of how dangerous life is for wolves than Idahovs plan to protect them.
语篇解读：本文作者就生活在Rocky Mountains地区的灰狼是否从联邦政府所列濒危物种的保护名单中去掉，阐述自己的观点。灰狼在联邦政府的保护下要比在各个州政府的保护下安全得多。
1．From the first paragraph, we can know that________.
A．the gray wolf was listed as an endangered species until March 28
B．in the author's opinion, individual states will not protect the gray wolf well
C．the gray wolf fell under the protection of individual states when it was listed as an endangered species
D．it's up to the federal government to protect the gray wolf after it was removed from the list
解析：判断推理题。根据第一段的第二、第三句，在作者看来灰狼在各个州保护下形同虚设，根本得不到保护。
答案：B
2．Why do Idaho officials permit a certain number of gray wolves to be hunted?
A．Some will die of natural causes if they are not killed by hunters.
B．Hunters kill gray wolves for the good of the wolf population.
C．They argue that more animals should be allowed to survive.
D．The wolves left will still be more than those to be protected in the original federal wolf recovery plans.
解析：细节理解题。根据第五段第一句话可知，从9月15日起，任何持有狩猎证并交纳10.50美元一只灰狼标签，就允许射杀一只，直到达到该地区的限制额为止。由此可知，D项正确。
答案：D
3．What does the underlined word “reprieve” in the last paragraph mean?
A．An official order to put gray wolves back on endangered list.
B．An official order to remove the gray wolf from the list of endangered species.
C．An official order to permit 428 of the state's estimated 1,000 wolves to be hunted.
D．An official order to fit all wolves with radio collars.
解析：词义猜测题。根据最后一段第二句可知，一个联邦法官很快决定是支持还是反对政府决定把灰狼从保护名单上去掉，所以A项正确。
答案：A
4．What does the author think of Idaho's plan to protect gray wolves?
A．Wolves are only a game animal to be managed for the benefit of human hunters.
B．There is no better plan to protect gray wolves than Idaho's plan.
C．It will restore the wolf to the endangered species list.
D．It's a danger to the life of the gray wolf.
解析：判断作者观点题。根据文章最后一句话可推断出，作者认为按照Idaho州保护计划灰狼的生命安全得不到保障。
答案：D
5．Whose point of view may the author agree to?
A．Idaho's Fish and Game department.
B．Idaho's officials.
C．Staff biologists in Idaho's Fish and Game department.
D．The federal judge.
解析：判断作者态度立场题，最后一段倒数第二句表示作者的立场，希望灰狼重新列在保护名单上可知，C项正确。
答案：C
Ⅳ.任务型阅读(陕西专用)
1.
While everybody enjoys fresh cut flowers around his house，few people know how to keep them for as long as possible.This may be done by keeping in mind a few simple facts.The key to keeping fresh cut flowers for a week or more without floral preservatives(which contain biocides that kill bacteria and fungus) is to keep the water fresh and the stems free of air pockets so they can continue to draw up water.
2.
An important thing to remember about cut flowers is that they are sensitive to temperature.For example，studies have shown that cut carnations(康乃馨) retain their freshness eight times longer when kept at 12℃ than when kept at 26℃.Keeping freshly harvested flowers at the right temperatures is probably the most important aspect of flower care.
3.
Flowers are not intended by nature to live very long.Their biological purpose is simply to attract birds or insects，such as bees，for pollination (授粉)．After that，they quickly dry up and die.The process by which flowers consume oxygen and produce carbon dioxide，called respiration (呼吸)，generates the energy the flower needs to give the flower its shape and colour.The making of seeds also depends on this energy.While all living things respire，flowers have a high level of respiration.A result of all this respiration is heat，and for flowers the level of heat relative to the mass of the flower is very high.Respiration also brings about the eventual death of the flower.Thus the greater the level of respiration，the sooner the flower dies.
4.
How，then，to control the rate at which flowers die? By controlling respiration.How is respiration controlled? By controlling temperature.We know that respiration produces heat，but the reverse is also true.Thus by maintaining low temperatures，respiration is reduced and the cut flower will age more slowly.
5.
Another vital factor in keeping cut flowers is the quality of the water in which they are placed.Flowers find it difficult to “drink” water that is dirty or otherwise polluted.Even when water looks and smells clean，it almost certainly contains harmful substances that can endanger the flowers.To rid the water of these unwanted substances，household chlorine bleach (含氯漂白剂) can be used in small quantities.It is recommended that 15 drops of chlorine bleach(at 4% solution) be added to each litre of water.The water and solution should also be replaced each day.
