You are not give
11、n any extra time at the end of the test to fill in the sheet.c Do not spend more than 20 minutes on any section, as you may not have enough time to complete the three passages. Always time yourself when doing the practice tests, to get used to finishing each section in no more than 20 minutes.d As t
12、he sections of the Reading test become progressively more difficult, if you take longer than 20 minutes on the first two sections, you will have little chance of finishing the third passage.e As the IELTS Reading paper covers a variety of written styles, make sure you prepare yourself for this by re
13、ading newspapers, journals, magazines and fiction and non-fiction books.f Be prepared to be tested on any subject someone attending a university would be expected to be aware of. However, you are not expected to be an expert on all these topics.g In IELTS Reading the questions are sometimes written
14、before the passage. Always check that you have read and answered all 40 questions.雅思篇章阅读：第一册 TEST 1Section 1You should spend about 20 minutes on questions 1 - 15, which are based on Reading Passage 1 below.National Parks and Climate ChangeANational parks, nature reserves, protected areas and sites o
15、f special scientific interest (SSSIs) are an important part of the natural landscape in most countries. Their habitat and terrains vary massively, from tundra and glacier parks in the north to wetlands in Europe, steppes in central and eastern Europe, and prairie grasslands and deserts in other area
16、s. Virtually all kinds of landscape are protected somewhere. And these protected areas are important for the variety of plant and animal life they harbour: caribou, bears, wolves, rare types of fish and birds.BBut these areas are under threat from a recent peril - global climate change. No amount of
17、 legislation in any one country can protect against a worldwide problem. What exactly are the problems caused by climate change? David Woodward, head of the British Council for Nature Conservation, spoke to Science Now about some of these areas, and his first point highlighted the enormous variation
18、 in nature reserves.C“Each park or reserve is an ecosystem,“ he says, “and the larger reserves, such as those in Canada, may have several types of ecological subsystems within it. There are reserves which are half the 新东方在线 网络课堂电子教材系列 雅思阅读 A 类4size of Western Europe, so it doesnt make sense to talk
19、 about them as if they were all the same, or as if the microclimates within them were uniform.“ Woodward outlines some of the dangers posed by climatic change to parks in the northern Americas, for example.D“If climatic change is severe, and in particular if the change is happening as quickly as it
20、is at the moment, then the boundaries of the park no longer make much sense. A park that was designated as a protected area 90 years ago may suffer such change in its climate that the nature of it changes too. It will no longer contain the animal and plant life that it did. So the area which once pr
21、otected, say, a species of reindeer or a type of scenery, will have changed. In effect, you lose the thing you were trying to protect.“ This effect has already been seen in Canada, where parks which once contained glaciers have seen the glaciers melted by global warming.EJennie Lindstrom, Chief Exec
22、utive Officer of H2O, the charity which campaigns on an international level on behalf of mainland Europes protected wetland and wilderness areas, is even more pessimistic. In a letter to Science Now, she has asserted that up to 70% of such areas are already experiencing such “significant change . in
23、 climate“ that the distribution patterns. of flora and fauna are changing, and that all areas will eventually be affected. She estimates that the most profound change is occurring in the northernmost parks in areas such as Finland, Greenland, Iceland and northern Russia, but adds that “there is no p
24、lace which will not suffer the effects of global warming. What we are seeing is a massive change in the environment - and that means the extinction of whole species, as well as visual and structural changes which means that areas like the Camargue may literally look totally different in 50 or 60 yea
25、rs time.“FThe problems are manifold. First, it is difficult or impossible to predict which areas are most in need of help - that is, which areas are in most danger. Predicting climate change is even more unreliable than predicting the weather. Secondly, there is a sense that governments in most area
26、s are apathetic towards a problem which may not manifest itself until long after that governments term of office has come to an end. In poor areas, of course, nature conservation is low on the list of priorities compared to, say, employment or health. Third, and perhaps most important, even in areas
27、 where there is both the political will and the financial muscle to do something about the problem, it is hard to know just what to do. Maria Colehill of Forestlife, an American conservation body, thinks that in the case of climate change, the most we can realistically do is monitor the situation an
28、d allow for the changes that we cannot prevent, while lobbying governments internationally to make the changes to the pollution laws, for example, that will enable us to deal with the causes of the problem. “I am despondent,“ she admits. “I have no doubt that a lot of the work we are doing on behalf
29、 of the North American lynx, for example, will be wasted. The animal itself can live in virtually any environment where there are few humans, but of course its numbers are small. If climate change affects the other animal life in the areas where it now lives, if the food chain changes, then the lynx
30、 will be affected too. Less food for the lynx means fewer lynxes, or lynxes with nowhere to go.“GCertainly, climate change is not going to go away overnight. It is estimated that fossil fuels burnt in the 1950s will still be affecting our climate in another 30 years, so the changes will continue for
31、 some time after that. If we want to protect the remnants of our wild landscapes for future 新东方在线 网络课堂电子教材系列 雅思阅读 A 类5generations, the impetus for change must come from the governments of the world.Questions 1 - 7Do the following statements agree with the information given in Reading Passage 1?In b

C Miracle Cure From Nature.B The Forest Pharmacy. D A Modern Cure For An Ancient KillerAThe search for cures to t
40、reat common diseases is not new, nor is it unusual to find the cures for such diseases in tree bark. Aspirin for headaches and quinine for the treatment of malaria are both examples of modern medicines which have been derived from tree bark. But the latest additions to this list may be the most sign
41、ificant yet, according to the findings of research into the medicinal benefits of the bark of the African Bush Willow. At an international conference, Dr Scott Remick of the USA claimed that combretastin, a product of this bark, has proved up to 85% effective in combating cancer, and may, in combina
42、tion with chemotherapy, finally provide a way to destroy many types of tumour. BThe African Bush Willow, which grows in South Africa, has been recognised as a medicinal plant by local tribespeople for many years. In the past, its roots were used as purgatives and its gum was used to treat sores and
43、ulcers. Common along river banks in southern Africa, this plant (scientific name, Combretum caffrum) has proved both hardy and prolific, It is one of the worlds fastest-growing trees and can grow one metre in height annually to a maximum of fourteen metres. To sustain this level of growth normally r
44、equires warmth, rich soil and abundant water. but even when these are in short supply, the African Bush Willow can survive. It is resistant to severe drought and even sustained periods of frost, and temperatures well below zero do not damage the tree.CCombretastin, the active ingredient in the bark,
45、 was originally isolated form the stems and branches in the 1970a by South African researcher, Dr Gordon Cragg. A massive seventy-seven kilogrammes of material was needed from the tree to produce just a few milligrams of the active ingredient. However, scientists have now been able to produce the dr
46、ug synthetically. This type of manufacturing has meant that the drug can now be mass-produced and used much more widely in the treatment of cancer. Most cancers are caused by tumours, which create their own network of capillaries to supply the blood they need in order to grow. The effect of combretastin is to reduce the tumours ability to create these capillaries and thereby starve the tumour to death.D新东方在线 网络课堂电子教材系列 雅思阅读 A 类7Combretastin appears to work very quickly, often reducing the blood flow to a tumour within four to six hours
