a. to report the news of the banning of ivory trade. b. to introduce the crisis that elephants face in africa. c. to call on people around the world to protect elephants. d. to show us the ivory trade in tanzania and zambia.45. the sale of ivory wasnt banned until _. a. 2010 b. 2005 c. 1980 d. 1989 46. what do we know from noah wekesas words in paragraph 3 ? a. he is worried about the future of elephants. b. he is sure that the ban on the sale of ivory will be effective. c. he believes it has been late to issue the ban on the sale of ivory. d. he thinks that elephants should be protected for a century.47. what can we infer from the passage? a. the income of tanzania is mostly from the hunting of elephants. b. most african representatives disagreed with the ban on the sale of ivory. c. the elephant population may increase if the ban on the sale of ivory is maintained.d. about one million elephants have been killed throughout africa since 1980.dthe high-protein, low-carbohydrate(碳水化合物) diets many people turn to for weight loss might have potentially harmful long-term effects on the colon, a small study indicates.in the study, uk researchers found that a protein-heavy, low-carb diet created certain changes in the colon that could contribute to colon cancer risk. the study itself does not show whether high-protein diets really raise the risk of any colon diseases, but the findings raise that possibility.diets relatively high in protein and lower in carbs have been shown to help heavy people lose weight. “people should not be discouraged from losing weight,” dr flint said. however, he added, they should make sure that any weight loss plan includes adequate（充足的）amounts of fiber and a high protein intake over months to years might have ill effects on the colon.the findings are based on 17 overweight men who followed three short-term diets: a one-week menu plan to keep their weight; a four-week high-protein diet with reasonable amounts of carbohydrates; and a four-week high-protein diet low in carbs.on average, the study found when the men were on the high-protein diets, they had higher levels of substances known as n-nitroso compounds(亚硝基化合物) and other metabolites(代谢物) that have been linked to cancer. and when they were on the high-protein, low-carb diet, they had lowered amounts of fiber-originated compounds thought to be protective against cancer.exactly what those changes might mean for a persons health is not clear, but flint said that the findings suggest that people should be cautious about consuming too much protein and too little fiber over a long period. in general, experts recommend that adults get about 28 grams of fiber per daythough its not known whether thats enough for someone on a high-protein weight-loss diet.48. the underlined word “colon” in paragraph 1 probably refers to “ ”.a. an organb. intelligencec. a habitd. behavior49. it can be inferred from the text that .a. we shouldnt take the study seriouslyb. weight problems are hard to solvec. it is better to follow a low-carb dietd. people should be cautious to lose weight50. the author is intended to .a. advise how to lose weightb. introduce a scientific findingc. describe a research processd. talk about healthy diets第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出最佳选项。并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。（ 温馨提示：e=ab； f=ac； g=ad ） why is setting goals important? 51 instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow you to make your life happen. successful people imagine how their life should be and set lots of goals. 52 its like having a map to show you where you want to go. think of it this way. there are two drivers. one has a destination in mind which can be found on a map. she can drive straight there surely without any wasted time of wrong turns. the other driver has no goal, or destination or map. she starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver, but she drives aimlessly around, never getting anywhere, just using up gas. which driver do you want to be? 53 they decide what they want in life and then get there by making plans and setting goals. unsuccessful people usually just let life happen by accident. goals arent difficult to set and they arent difficult to reach. 54 you are the one who must decide what to achieve and in what direction to aim your life._55 written goals can be reviewed regularly, and have more power. like a contract with yourself, they are harder to neglect or forget. also when you write your goals in a particular way, you are able to make yourself continuously aware of situations that will bring you nearer to your goal.a. winners in life set goals and follow them through. b. research tells us that when we write a goal down we are more likely to achieve it.c. its up to you to find out what your goals really are.d. its difficult for a driver to reach his destination without a map.e. by setting goals you are taking control of your life.f. because goals can help you do, be, and experience everything you want in life.g. because everybody should have a goal in his mind.第ii卷第四部分写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节 短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）文中共有10处语言错误，每句
