7．Fans of reptiles like snakes will want to pay more attention to a special vehicle that has recently hit the streets：the Super Green Turtle Machine．
Just like Batman has his Batmobile，Jesse Rothacker and Forgotten Friend Reptile Sanctuary （FFRS） can now be found touring Lancaster County in the Super Green Turtle Machine，a van with an important mission．Rothacker had co-written a song called"Super Green Turtle Machine"with musician Steven Courtney．The song became the inspiration for the van．
FFRS is celebrating its 12th year rescuing and advocating for reptiles and creatures of all shapes and sizes．The Super Green Turtle Machine will be rolling out to upcoming Forgotten Friend programs and frequent reptile rescue calls．"We have more than 60educational events already scheduled for 2016，"Rothacker mentioned．The programs will educate audiences of all ages about reptiles and other amazing animals that are often given a bad reputation．
"The idea behind the Turtle Machine is to take a marginalized animal group like reptiles and give them some positive publicity on social media，"Rothacker explained．When reptile fans see the van parked with its colorful turtle mascot （吉祥物） giving a thumb-up，they are invited to take a photo with the vehicle with their own thumbs up sign．"Lots of people will have an opportunity to tell their friends on Facebook and Twitter that they give reptiles a thumb-up，"Rothacher said．"Then they can post their pictures to social media with the tag Give Reptiles A Chance．"To sweeten the deal，F(xiàn)FRS will choose several winners from those who post photos for special prizes such as T-shirts，books，and other reptile-related items．
In addition to the positive publicity，the Super Green Turtle Machine will serve a more practical purpose，as well．Rothacker and his team hope to make a few more changes to the van in the future．"The main work is done，but we'd love to finish her up，"Rothacker shared．"We have plans to add flashing caution lights for when we stop to help snakes and turtles cross the road．"Further enhancements to the Turtle Machine include adding extra tools to help with reptile rescue pickups and live educational events．
As FFRS is a non-profit，donations toward the Super Green Turtle Machine are tax deductible．Interested individuals may contribute at www．forgottenfriend．org．

分析 本文敘述了Rothacker在FFRS工作宣傳爬行動(dòng)物和給它們提供幫助．最后也呼吁大眾能為FFRS捐善款，一起幫助這些被忽略的動(dòng)物．
解答 66．D．推理預(yù)測(cè)題．Rothacker這個(gè)人在文中多次提到，第二段提到他和音樂家合寫過歌曲，但這個(gè)A選項(xiàng)的擅長(zhǎng)作曲是有出入的，文中更多的是提到他在FFRS負(fù)責(zé)爬行動(dòng)物的宣傳項(xiàng)目，故選D．
67．B．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．關(guān)于Super Green Turtle Machine的使命，全文基本都在講如何宣傳爬行動(dòng)物和提供幫助，故選B．
68．A．詞義判斷題．A選項(xiàng)是經(jīng)常忽略的，B選項(xiàng)是瀕危的，C選項(xiàng)是高度重視的，D選項(xiàng)是廣泛關(guān)注的，marginalized出現(xiàn)在第四段第一句，聯(lián)系上下文，第三段最后一句提到爬行動(dòng)物的名聲不好，而第四段第一句說要給這類動(dòng)物正面的宣傳，可見這類動(dòng)物經(jīng)常被忽略．故選C．
69．B．細(xì)節(jié)理解題，注意題目中有NOT，以change來定位在倒數(shù)第二段，此段可以找到ACD：裝警戒燈，增加工具幫助爬行動(dòng)物救助拾音器和生活教育等．文中并沒有提到彩龜吉祥物，故選B．
點(diǎn)評(píng) 本文為新聞報(bào)道類閱讀．新聞報(bào)道類在英語閱讀理解中是一種特點(diǎn)十分鮮明的題材．因?yàn)槲恼峦尸F(xiàn)出"倒金字塔"的特征，此類題的英語閱讀理解技巧是重點(diǎn)看導(dǎo)語．導(dǎo)語位于新聞報(bào)道的首段，高度概括新聞事實(shí)，通過它點(diǎn)出新聞的主題，其次尋找關(guān)鍵詞，理解題意，做出解答．
