13、阅读下列短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。 Health officials in Canada are very busy these days. They are placing chickens at fixed points all along their 2,500 km border (边境) with the United States of America.

It’s not a joke, nor have the Canadians gone mad. They are using these chickens to see if the West Nile virus (病毒) is still around. The virus infects birds, so the chickens have a chance of catching the virus and fall ill. The West Nile virus is spread among humans. It killed seven people in New York last year.

Countries around the world are realizing that it may just be possible to stop certain kinds of people from entering their land. However, it is very difficult to stop viruses traveling from one end of the earth to another. When they travel to new places, they get used to the environment very easily and sometimes start destroying the local plant and animal life. These biological polluters are called smart polluters. These smart polluters can be carried across borders of countries unknowingly. Just as we humans are travelling across the world more often than earlier, these biological polluters have also started journey much more. They slide into airplanes through their wheels. They dig into objects that travelers may be carrying from one country to another.

There are some good examples of how these polluters work. The water hyacinth (水葫芦) of South America is blocking lakes in China and Africa. Tree snakes from Papua New Guinea are busy eating up some birds in the country of Guam, which breaks its natural balance.

That’s why the customs (海关) officials in many foreign countries prevent people from bringing in a small plant, or an object made of wood that is in its natural form. The customs officials have these rules because these varieties (多样性) of plants are special to certain places. The plants have the power to spread new illnesses among native plants and animals. Biological polluters always create problems in places where they do not belong. They could be special varieties of plants, bugs or even animals. 1．Why are Canadian officials placing chickens along the border? A．To help clean up the border.

B．To see if the virus is still around. C．To protect the chickens from falling ill. D．To make sure that the birds can find food. 2．Which of the following is TRUE?

A．People find it difficult to travel from one place to another. B．Plants always create problems in places where they belong. C．Biological polluters may destroy the local plant and animal life. D．Viruses spend a long time getting used to the local environment.

3．Customs officials in many countries prevent people from bringing in ____. A．chocolates B．shoes C．pictures D．plants

4．What is the best title for the passage? A．Land Pollution B．The West Nile Virus C．Smart Polluters D．The Water Hyacinth

B

14、I had never really liked reading and thought it was a waste of time. But once my teacher told our class to go to the library and find our favorite books. I love basketball, so I picked out a basketball book. It was called “Hoops” by Water Dean Myers. It is a good novel, and suitable for basketball lovers.

This story is about a high school ball player named Lonnie. Lonnie lives in a poor family in Harlem, New York. He is a good basketball player and dreams of playing basketball in college, and of course in the NBA．When Cal, his new coach, walks into his life, he just wants to keep away from him. But at last they become friends and face many challenges together.

I am now reading more of Walter Dean Myers’ books. A lot of his books are about growing up in Harlem, just like he did. However, I like “Hoops” best. From Lonnie, you will learn that the people around you really affect who you are, and how much it helps to have the support of family and friends in your life. This book also makes me think about how hard it would be to grow up in a rough(艰难的) neighborhood. I have realized that we must believe in ourselves when life gets hard. I have learned a lot from this book, and I think anyone will learn much after reading it.

It is a good story, and I really suggest that everyone read it. I hope you will enjoy this book as much as I do. 1．The writer picked out a ______ in the library. A．history book B．fashion magazine C．newspaper D．novel

2．According to the story, Lonnie ______. A．has a very rich family
