1.Whatisspecialaboutthenewlydiscoveredbird?
A.Itusuallywalks.
B.Itlikeswalkingandflying.
C.Itcaneatotherbirds.
D.Itcaneatfrogs.
答案 A
解析 细节理解题。由文章第二段第一句可知，这种新发现的鸟的独特之处是它喜欢行走，而不是飞翔。
2.StuartChapmanbelievesthat________.
A.mostofthenewlydiscoveredspeciescanadapttoclimatechange
B.climatechangecancausemassiveextinctionofthenewlydiscoveredspecies
C.thenewlydiscoveredspeciesarenotsovulnerabletoclimatechange
D.manyspecieshavealreadydiedoutbecauseofclimatechange
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。由文章第四段可知，这些新发现的物种很少能适应气候变暖，因此会出现大量灭绝的情况。
3.WhenLeeGrismerdiscoveredthetigerstripedpitviper，heprobablyfelt________.
A.frightenedB.disappointed
C.excitedD.puzzled
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。由文章倒数第二段可知，这种蛇的发现很偶然，而且后来被证明是一个新的物种，因此发现者应该感到“惊喜”，故选excited。
4.Thetigerstripedpitviperisprobablyakindof________.
A.frogB.lizard
C.geckoD.snake
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。由文章倒数第二段第一句和第二句可知，这种tigerstripedpitviper是一种新的蛇类。因为文中有明确的提示“thesnake’sfangs”及“Wecaughtthesnakeandthegecko...”，而thegecko的介绍在后面出现了。
5.Whatdoesthepassagemainlytellus?
A.TheGreaterMekongregionisarichareaforscientists.
B.ManyrarespeciesremaintobediscoveredintheMekongregion.
C.ScientistshavediscoveredmanynewspeciesintheMekongregion.

B

B.Amentalplaceinourmindwherewesticktoourbeliefs.
C.Alimitedplaceinourmindwherewefeelsafe.
D.Asecretplaceinourmindwherewecommunicatewithourselves.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。由文章第一段第一句可知，“安逸区”是我们心中被很多边界所环绕的一个特殊区域，在这其中我们感到安逸，但它是我们成长的藩篱。
7.Theauthorbelievesstayinginourcomfortzonecan________.
A.preventusfrombeingawareofthereality
B.protectusfromthecruelreality
C.pushourdevelopmentinlife
D.stopusmakingprogressinlife
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。文章第一段最后说明，待在我们心灵的“安逸区”是没有好处的，会阻止我们进步。

A.oneshouldnotquitinordertosucceed
B.asuccessfulpersoncan’tleavehiscomfortzone
C.thereisagreatdifferencebetweendefeatandfailure
D.itisimportanttotakeconstantactions

9.Whatisnotnecessaryforustosucceed?
A.Ablinddetermination.
B.Anoptimisticattitude.
C.Thepoorenvironmentinwhichwelive.
D.Refusingtotakeanoforananswer.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。由文章最后一段可知，A、B、D三项都是成功所需要的;而从文章第三段可知，“贫困的环境”也无碍于成功，但并非是成功的必要条件，故选C项。
10.Thewritingstyleofthispassagecanbedescribedas________.
A.defensiveB.persuasive
C.subjectiveD.supportive
答案 B
解析 推理判断题。分析全文，把握作者态度可知，作者极力说服、劝告我们走出心灵的“安逸区”，因此B项persuasive“劝导的”最能说明文章的写作风格。defensive辩护的;subjective主观的;supportive支持的。
