Most people can't wait for spring to arrive. It means flowers and warmer weather, all welcome changes from the dark winter days. Now we know that spring is arriving sooner in the Northern Hemisphere (北半球)than it was in the past, thanks to a study published in Scientific Reports.
For example, Los Angeles may experience spring only a day earlier than it did 10 years ago, but further north, in Seattle or Chicago, spring will arrive four days earlier. If you lived in the Arctic, spring could arrive 16 days earlier than it used to.
To determine how springtime is starting earlier, researchers looked at temperature records and 743 earlier studies over 86 years. These studies were about various biological indicators of spring, including birds migrating, plants flowering and amphibians(两栖动物)sounding their mating calls. Researchers then studied these data to see if they were occurring earlier. The result showed that not only is spring making itself known sooner but it's warmer, too.
Before you go out in a happy springtime hike, spring arriving sooner isn't so good. The livelihood of migratory birds, for instance, may be concerned.
“The food that birds rely on when they move to the north might not be reliable if the beginning of spring at these higher latitudes(维度)is expanded by future warming." said Eric Post. He is a fellow of the John Muir Institute and a polar ecologist.
Animals relying on Arctic sea ice, like polar bears, probably aren't crazy about things warming up sooner, either, because it impacts on their ability to hunt. Spring's early arrival could cause disorder in the delicate balance of various ecosystems~~not to mention how soon you'll need to buy allergy medicine.
4 We learn from the study published in Scientific Reports that.
A. spring comes earliest in Los Angeles
B. Los Angeles is further north than Seattle
C. spring comes 12 days earlier in Arctic than in Chicago
D. the further north a place lies, the sooner spring comes than before
5. Researchers made the discovery mainly by.
A. comparing related data available
B. conducting research and test
C. calculating the exact length of each spring
D. observing animal's behavior all year round
6. What do the last two paragraphs focus on?
A. Concerns over spring's early arrival.
B. Springtime emergence of creatures.
C Early springtime's impacts on humans.
D. Disorder in the balance of ecosystems.
7. In which section of a magazine can we read this text?
A. Medical Report. B. Survival Stories.
C. Scientific Discoveries. D. Natural environment
C
While considering comfortable places to hibernate (冬眠) in winter, a 6-year-old black bear picked out a storm culvert (涵洞) near Wannaska, Minnesota. Unfortunately for the bear, this decision didn’t turn out well.
In late February, the snow around him started melting, causing the culvert to flood and then freeze again. The poor fellow was trapped in snow and ice for three days before some kind humans noticed him and called authorities for help.
By the time experts arrived, people had already tried digging the bear out and luring him with a variety of unhealthy (for bears) treats. Luckily, the bear wasn’t interested in food because he was still in hibernation mode.
A wildlife research biologist Andrew Tri arrived on the scene to assess the situation. “He tried to push himself out but got stuck in the place and tired,” the biologist explained. The team injected the bear with an anesthetic (麻醉剂). Once he was asleep, it took five strong men to pull the bear, estimated to weigh between 375 and 400 pounds, out of the culvert. Andrew gave him a full check-up and determined he was in great physical shape, even though he was still a bit sleepy!
The crew pulled him out and transported him to the Thief Lake Wildlife Management Area in Marshall County to finish out the winter. “He’s in the back of a pickup truck now, and we’ll make him a new den (窝点),” said Andrew. “He probably won’t stay, but at least it will give him some protection from the elements after that.”
“If you’re ever concerned about a bear’s safety, by all means give us a call,” the experts advised. “But don’t try to move it or feed it! Doing so can result in a bad situation (either for you or for the bear).” We’re glad this bear got the help he needed.
8. Why was the black bear in trouble?
A. He hasn’t eaten anything for many days.
B. He chose the wrong place to hibernate.
C. He was in bad condition.
D. His feet were caught by a trap.
9. What does the underlined word “luring” mean in paragraph 3?
A. exchanging B. improving C. attracting D. beating
10. What do we know about the black bear after he was pulled out of the culvert?
A. He was very excited. B. He was very angry.
C. He ate many foods. D. He was still a bit sleepy.
11. Which of the following statements would the experts agree with?
A. Don’t try to move a hibernating bear by yourself.
B. Bears can be very dangerous when they are sleeping.
C. Bears always attack people when people are alone.
D. Let the trapped bears continue to sleep, and do nothing.
D
When I first picked up Michelle Zauner’s memoir (自传) “Crying in H Mart”, I was attracted by the familiar name of the local Korean market 10 minutes away from my house. Looking through its pages was no different from looking through an old photo album (相册), reminding me of my old memories. And I wanted to look at each and every photo, up close.
Despite being a struggling artist making up for lost time with a sick mother, Zauner somehow made her unique experiences relatable to her audience. One of the factors that helped make this possible was food. Every food and every aspect of Korean culture she described seemed so familiar to me, as I’m a Korean American. Not only this, we have similar experiences, and have common feelings of being torn apart by two cultures that seem to refuse to accept us just for being who we are. Zauner shone a new light on my attitude to my own identity.
In other ways, this relatability to such a specific target audience can become a weakness. This memoir was obviously meant for a Korean, specifically a Korean American audience. With such a small audience of 0.6% of the United States population in 2019, the story that Zauner wanted to tell would not be received by many.
An avoidable point of the memoir that caused confusion could have been the organization of the timeline. Looking at the book as a whole, there was no specific order in which Zauner organized the events of her life. The most effective way to do this would have been to progress through the book starting with her earliest memories with her mother and ending with her moments of grieving (悲痛).
I felt thankful that I was able to discover such a novel that made me feel understood for the first time in years. And most of all, I felt inspired that there are people like Zauner who make mistakes but try again. Even when the world tells them it’s too late, they try again Even when they feel lost, they try again and find a way. And there was one thing I was sure of after I read the book: I will try again.
12. Which factor of the book attracted the author?
A. Korean audience. B. Korean families.
C. American culture. D. Similar experience.
13. Which aspect of the book is discussed in paragraph 3?
A. Its small readership. B. Its difficult languages.
C. Its weak market in Korea. D. Its sales in America in 2019.
14. What is the author’s purpose in writing paragraph 4?
A. To point out one limitation of the book.
B. To describe Zauner’s life in order of time.
C. To explain why he falls in love with the book.
D. To introduce an effective way to write a memoir.
15. What did the author learn from reading “Crying in H Mart”?
A. To be thankful. B. To stay positive.
C. To understand others. D. To avoid making mistakes.

Urban Wildlife
Cities are diverse ecosystems. In addition to visitors, a large number of species share our urban areas. As our cities spread, we need to think about what it is like for other species to have human neighbors.
Cities are built for humans. ____16____ For example, most city parks are kept neat and tidy so that humans will find them beautiful. But when we cut grass or plants, we destroy natural habitats, which leads to the imbalance of ecology.
____17____ When a bridge in Austin, Texas was repaired, engineers added small gaps running the length of its bottom. This made a good home for bats, and soon the bridge was home to thousands of bats. ____18____ Now, they have come to value their winged neighbors. The bats become an attraction, and they eat lots of bugs every night.
There are also structures built with the aim of bringing wildlife into the city. The Olympic Forest Park in Beijing is a good example. The park used native plants, and created open and natural spaces for wildlife. The result is a zone in Beijing with over 160 species of birds. In many ways, the park is the opposite of a zoo. ____19____
If we learn to share our space, we can become better neighbors of the wildlife around us. ____20____ Our own future will be endangered too.
A. They are built to protect birds.
B. Our actions sometimes help other species.
C. If we do not, more species will become extinct.
D. They do not always provide suitable habitats for wildlife.
E. Instead of being kept in cages, wildlife can move more freely.
F. At first, people were afraid of the bats and tried to get rid of them.
G. They would sit on it and their droppings would fall into the water.

My father’s T-shirt
As a teenager, I am not mature enough. I got angry quite easily and was not good at communicating with others. I had quarrels with my friends, and I was not polite to elders. Because of my bad behavior, I was sometimes punished by my father. However, it took me a long time to learn to control my temper and take the responsibility to make up for my mistakes.
I still remember it was an early autumn. Some leaves started to turn yellow and the weather became cool. One day, as I was getting ready for school, my mother carelessly handed me my father’s T-shirt instead of mine. At that time, I was getting to have a larger size than my father, so when I put on the T-shirt, I felt as if I wasn’t able to breathe! Soon, I realized that it was a small mistake which was made by my mother, but somehow the breathless feeling was so strong that it made me very angry. I could feel my anger growing, bubbling up inside myself. I shouted at her, “Why did you give me the wrong T-shirt?” My mother said sorry with a smile, but I continued to shout at her without thinking much. I got it off my body so wildly, making a hole in it and threw it on the floor. Then I put on my own T-shirt and rushed out of the house before my mother could stop me.
At that time, I didn’t consider how my mother was feeling. I just thought about myself. So after school, when I got home, I felt so regretful but I didn’t say a word to my mom. Feeling so frustrated, my mother shared her bad feeling with my father who was just after work from office, “See what your son has done.” I was so scared that maybe my father would punish me. But unexpectedly, instead of saying he would scold or beat me, my father quietly asked my mother to mend the T-shirt.
注意:
1.所续写短文的词数应为100 左右。
2.续写一段,该段的开头语已为你写好。
Seeing my father’s response, I felt more ashamed-of my bad behavior.

Most people can't wait for spring to arrive. It means flowers and warmer weather, all welcome changes from the dark winter days. Now we know that spring is arriving sooner in the Northern Hemisphere (北半球)than it was in the past, thanks to a study published in Scientific Reports.
For example, Los Angeles may experience spring only a day earlier than it did 10 years ago, but further north, in Seattle or Chicago, spring will arrive four days earlier. If you lived in the Arctic, spring could arrive 16 days earlier than it used to.
To determine how springtime is starting earlier, researchers looked at temperature records and 743 earlier studies over 86 years. These studies were about various biological indicators of spring, including birds migrating, plants flowering and amphibians(两栖动物)sounding their mating calls. Researchers then studied these data to see if they were occurring earlier. The result showed that not only is spring making itself known sooner but it's warmer, too.
Before you go out in a happy springtime hike, spring arriving sooner isn't so good. The livelihood of migratory birds, for instance, may be concerned.
“The food that birds rely on when they move to the north might not be reliable if the beginning of spring at these higher latitudes(维度)is expanded by future warming." said Eric Post. He is a fellow of the John Muir Institute and a polar ecologist.
Animals relying on Arctic sea ice, like polar bears, probably aren't crazy about things warming up sooner, either, because it impacts on their ability to hunt. Spring's early arrival could cause disorder in the delicate balance of various ecosystems~~not to mention how soon you'll need to buy allergy medicine.
4. We learn from the study published in Scientific Reports that.
A. spring comes earliest in Los Angeles
B. Los Angeles is further north than Seattle
C. spring comes 12 days earlier in Arctic than in Chicago
D. the further north a place lies, the sooner spring comes than before
5. Researchers made the discovery mainly by.
A. comparing related data available
B. conducting research and test
C. calculating the exact length of each spring
D. observing animal's behavior all year round
6. What do the last two paragraphs focus on?
A. Concerns over spring's early arrival.
B. Springtime emergence of creatures.
C. Early springtime's impacts on humans.
D. Disorder in the balance of ecosystems.
7. In which section of a magazine can we read this text?
A. Medical Report. B. Survival Stories.
C. Scientific Discoveries. D. Natural environment
【答案】4. D 5. A 6. A 7. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章作者就科学新发现---春天比过去来的早,进行阐述。说明了这个气候新发现对人类和动物的影响。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Now we know that spring is arriving sooner in the Northern Hemisphere (北半球)than it was in the past, thanks to a study published in Scientific Reports.”(据《科学报告》上发表的一项研究,现在我们知道北半球的春天比过去来得早了)和第二段“For example, Los Angeles may experience spring only a day earlier than it did 10 years ago, but further north, in Seattle or Chicago, spring will arrive four days earlier. If you lived in the Arctic, spring could arrive 16 days earlier than it used to”(例如,洛杉矶的春天可能只比10年前提前一天,但在更北边的西雅图或芝加哥,春天将提前4天到来。如果你住在北极,春天会比以前提前16天到来)可知,住着越北的地方,春天来得越早。故选D项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“To determine how springtime is starting earlier, researchers looked at temperature records and 743 earlier studies over 86 years. These studies were about various biological indicators of spring, including birds migrating, plants flowering and amphibians(两栖动物)sounding their mating calls. Researchers then studied these data to see if they were occurring earlier. The result showed that not only is spring making itself known sooner but it's warmer, too”(为了确定春季为何开始得更早,研究人员查阅了气温记录和86年来的743项早期研究。这些研究是关于春天的各种生物学指标的,包括鸟类的迁徙、植物的开花和两栖动物的求偶声。研究人员随后研究了这些数据,看它们是否更早出现。结果表明,春季不仅出现得更快,而且天气也更暖和了)可知,通过查阅气温记录和86年来的743项早期研究后,研究者做出了相应的发现。故选A项。
【6题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章倒数第二段提到“The food that birds rely on when they move to the north might not be reliable if the beginning of spring at these higher latitudes is expanded by future warming”(如果未来气候变暖导致高纬度地区春季的开始时间扩大,鸟类向北迁徙时所依赖的食物可能就不可靠了)和最后一段提到“Animals relying on Arctic sea ice, like polar bears, probably aren't crazy about things warming up sooner, either, because it impacts on their ability to hunt. Spring's early arrival could cause disorder in the delicate balance of various ecosystems~~not to mention how soon you'll need to buy allergy medicine”(依靠北极海冰生存的动物,比如北极熊,可能也不会对气候变暖感到疯狂,因为这会影响它们的捕猎能力。春天的提前到来可能会扰乱各种生态系统脆弱的平衡,更不用说你需要多快才能买到抗过敏药了)可知,最后两段提到了春天提前到来对动物和人类的不良影响。由此可知,最后两段的重点对春天提前到来的担忧。故选A项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Now we know that spring is arriving sooner in the Northern Hemisphere (北半球)than it was in the past, thanks to a study published in Scientific Reports.”(据《科学报告》上发表的一项研究,现在我们知道北半球的春天比过去来得早了)可知,本篇文章主要是研究气候变化的新发现。因此本篇文章应来自杂志的“科学发现”专栏。故选C项。
C
While considering comfortable places to hibernate (冬眠) in winter, a 6-year-old black bear picked out a storm culvert (涵洞) near Wannaska, Minnesota. Unfortunately for the bear, this decision didn’t turn out well.
In late February, the snow around him started melting, causing the culvert to flood and then freeze again. The poor fellow was trapped in snow and ice for three days before some kind humans noticed him and called authorities for help.
By the time experts arrived, people had already tried digging the bear out and luring him with a variety of unhealthy (for bears) treats. Luckily, the bear wasn’t interested in food because he was still in hibernation mode.
A wildlife research biologist Andrew Tri arrived on the scene to assess the situation. “He tried to push himself out but got stuck in the place and tired,” the biologist explained. The team injected the bear with an anesthetic (麻醉剂). Once he was asleep, it took five strong men to pull the bear, estimated to weigh between 375 and 400 pounds, out of the culvert. Andrew gave him a full check-up and determined he was in great physical shape, even though he was still a bit sleepy!
The crew pulled him out and transported him to the Thief Lake Wildlife Management Area in Marshall County to finish out the winter. “He’s in the back of a pickup truck now, and we’ll make him a new den (窝点),” said Andrew. “He probably won’t stay, but at least it will give him some protection from the elements after that.”
“If you’re ever concerned about a bear’s safety, by all means give us a call,” the experts advised. “But don’t try to move it or feed it! Doing so can result in a bad situation (either for you or for the bear).” We’re glad this bear got the help he needed.
8. Why was the black bear in trouble?
A. He hasn’t eaten anything for many days.
B. He chose the wrong place to hibernate.
C. He was in bad condition.
D. His feet were caught by a trap.
9. What does the underlined word “luring” mean in paragraph 3?
A. exchanging B. improving C. attracting D. beating
10. What do we know about the black bear after he was pulled out of the culvert?
A. He was very excited. B. He was very angry.
C. He ate many foods. D. He was still a bit sleepy.
11. Which of the following statements would the experts agree with?
A. Don’t try to move a hibernating bear by yourself.
B. Bears can be very dangerous when they are sleeping.
C. Bears always attack people when people are alone.
D. Let the trapped bears continue to sleep, and do nothing.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇记叙文,讲述了救助一只由于选择错误的冬眠地点而被困住的黑熊的故事。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“While considering comfortable places to hibernate (冬眠) in winter, a 6- year -old black bear picked out a storm culvert near Wannaska, Minnesota. (在明尼苏达州的万斯卡附近,一只6岁的黑熊在考虑冬天冬眠的舒适场所时,选择了一条暴风雪涵洞。)”及第二段“In late February, the snow around him started melting, causing the culvert to flood and then freeze again. The poor fellow was trapped in snow and ice for three days before some kind humans noticed him and called authorities for help. (2月下旬,他周围的雪开始融化,导致涵洞被洪水淹没,然后再次结冰。这个可怜的家伙被困在冰雪中整整三天,直到一些善良的人类注意到他,并向当局求助。)”可知,黑熊由于选择了错误的地方冬眠被困住了。故选B。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第三段划线词前文“By the time experts arrived, people had already tried digging the bear out (在专家到来之前,人们已经试过把熊挖出来)”及后文“with a variety of unhealthy (for bears) treats (还有各种不健康的(对熊来说)食物)”及“Luckily, the bear wasn’t interested in food because he was still in hibernation mode. (幸运的是,这只熊对食物不感兴趣,因为它还处于冬眠模式。)”可知,在专家到来之前,人们用不健康的事物引诱熊,想将他挖出来,划线词luring与attracting意思相近,表示“吸引,引诱”。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Andrew gave him a full check-up and determined he was in great physical shape, even though he was still a bit sleepy! (安德鲁给他做了全面检查,认为他的身体状况很好,尽管他仍然有点困。)”可知,当熊被救出来后,有一点点困倦。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““If you’re ever concerned about a bear’s safety, by all means give us a call,” the experts advised. “But don’t try to move it or feed it! Doing so can result in a bad situation (either for you or for the bear).” (专家建议:“如果你担心熊的安全,一定要给我们打电话。但不要试图移动它或喂它!”这样做可能会导致糟糕的情况(无论是对你还是对熊来说)。”)”可知,专家认为,不要试图用移动或者喂食的方法救被困着的熊,可以打电话求助,所以专家们会同意不要自己尝试移动冬眠的熊。故选A。
D
When I first picked up Michelle Zauner’s memoir (自传) “Crying in H Mart”, I was attracted by the familiar name of the local Korean market 10 minutes away from my house. Looking through its pages was no different from looking through an old photo album (相册), reminding me of my old memories. And I wanted to look at each and every photo, up close.
Despite being a struggling artist making up for lost time with a sick mother, Zauner somehow made her unique experiences relatable to her audience. One of the factors that helped make this possible was food. Every food and every aspect of Korean culture she described seemed so familiar to me, as I’m a Korean American. Not only this, we have similar experiences, and have common feelings of being torn apart by two cultures that seem to refuse to accept us just for being who we are. Zauner shone a new light on my attitude to my own identity.
In other ways, this relatability to such a specific target audience can become a weakness. This memoir was obviously meant for a Korean, specifically a Korean American audience. With such a small audience of 0.6% of the United States population in 2019, the story that Zauner wanted to tell would not be received by many.
An avoidable point of the memoir that caused confusion could have been the organization of the timeline. Looking at the book as a whole, there was no specific order in which Zauner organized the events of her life. The most effective way to do this would have been to progress through the book starting with her earliest memories with her mother and ending with her moments of grieving (悲痛).
I felt thankful that I was able to discover such a novel that made me feel understood for the first time in years. And most of all, I felt inspired that there are people like Zauner who make mistakes but try again. Even when the world tells them it’s too late, they try again Even when they feel lost, they try again and find a way. And there was one thing I was sure of after I read the book: I will try again.
12. Which factor of the book attracted the author?
A. Korean audience. B. Korean families.
C. American culture. D. Similar experience.
13. Which aspect of the book is discussed in paragraph 3?
A. Its small readership. B. Its difficult languages.
C. Its weak market in Korea. D. Its sales in America in 2019.
14. What is the author’s purpose in writing paragraph 4?
A. To point out one limitation of the book.
B. To describe Zauner’s life in order of time.
C. To explain why he falls in love with the book.
D To introduce an effective way to write a memoir.
15. What did the author learn from reading “Crying in H Mart”?
A. To be thankful. B. To stay positive.
C. To understand others. D. To avoid making mistakes.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇夹叙夹议文,介绍了Michelle Zauner的自传Crying in H Mart这本书的内容及作者对这本书的看法。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“When I first picked up Michelle Zauner’s memoir(自传) “Crying in H Mart”, I was attracted by the familiar name of the local Korean market 10 minutes away from my house. Looking through its pages was no different from looking through an old photo album (相册), reminding me of my old memories.(当我第一次读到米歇尔•佐纳的回忆录Crying in H Mart时,我被距离我家10分钟路程的韩国当地市场的熟悉名字所吸引。翻看这本书就像翻看一本旧相册一样,让我想起了过去的记忆)”可知,作者被书中与作者相似的经历描写所吸引,想起了过去的记忆。故选D。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“In other ways, this relatability to such a specific target audience can become a weakness. This memoir was obviously meant for a Korean, specifically a Korean American audience. With such a small audience of 0.6% of the United States population in 2019, the story that Zauner wanted to tell would not be received by many.(在其他方面,这种与特定目标受众的相关性可能成为一个弱点。这本回忆录显然是写给韩国人的,特别是写给韩裔美国人的。2019年,美国的观众只占总人口的0.6%,因此Zauner想要讲述的故事不会被很多人接受)”可知,本段描述了这本书较少的受众群体。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“An avoidable point of the memoir that caused confusion could have been the organization of the timeline.(回忆录中一个可以避免的引起混乱的地方是时间线的组织)”及全段内容可知,本段作者主要指出了这本书的一个局限性。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“And most of all, I felt inspired that there are people like Zauner who make mistakes but try again. Even when the world tells them it’s too late, they try again Even when they feel lost, they try again and find a way. And there was one thing I was sure of after I read the book: I will try again.(最让我感到鼓舞的是,有像Zauner这样的人会犯错误,但会再次尝试。即使世界告诉他们太晚了,他们还是会再次尝试。即使他们感到迷茫,他们也会再次尝试,寻找出路。读完这本书后,有一件事我很确定:我会再试一次)”可知,作者读这本书学到了要保持积极的态度。故选B。

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Urban Wildlife
Cities are diverse ecosystems. In addition to visitors, a large number of species share our urban areas. As our cities spread, we need to think about what it is like for other species to have human neighbors.
Cities are built for humans. ____16____ For example, most city parks are kept neat and tidy so that humans will find them beautiful. But when we cut grass or plants, we destroy natural habitats, which leads to the imbalance of ecology.
____17____ When a bridge in Austin, Texas was repaired, engineers added small gaps running the length of its bottom. This made a good home for bats, and soon the bridge was home to thousands of bats. ____18____ Now, they have come to value their winged neighbors. The bats become an attraction, and they eat lots of bugs every night.
There are also structures built with the aim of bringing wildlife into the city. The Olympic Forest Park in Beijing is a good example. The park used native plants, and created open and natural spaces for wildlife. The result is a zone in Beijing with over 160 species of birds. In many ways, the park is the opposite of a zoo. ____19____
If we learn to share our space, we can become better neighbors of the wildlife around us. ____20____ Our own future will be endangered too.
A. They are built to protect birds.
B. Our actions sometimes help other species.
C. If we do not, more species will become extinct.
D. They do not always provide suitable habitats for wildlife.
E. Instead of being kept in cages, wildlife can move more freely.
F. At first, people were afraid of the bats and tried to get rid of them.
G. They would sit on it and their droppings would fall into the water.
【答案】16. D 17. B 18. F 19. E 20. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。在城市中人类应该考虑为野生动物提供和分享空间。
【16题详解】
由空格后的例子“For example, most city parks are kept neat and tidy so that humans will find them beautiful. But when we cut grass or plants, we destroy natural habitats, which leads to the imbalance of ecology.(例如,大多数城市公园保持整洁,这样人们就会发现它们很漂亮。但是当我们割草或植物时,我们破坏了自然栖息地,这导致了生态的不平衡)”可知,空格处的句子应该涉及到对野生动物栖息地的破坏。所以D项“They do not always provide suitable habitats for wildlife.(它们并不总是为野生动物提供合适的栖息地)”填入空格处,符合题意。故选D项。
【17题详解】
空格后的例子“When a bridge in Austin, Texas was repaired, engineers added small gaps running the length of its bottom. This made a good home for bats, and soon the bridge was home to thousands of bats.(当德克萨斯州奥斯汀市的一座桥被修复时,工程师们在桥的底部增加了一些小裂缝。这为蝙蝠提供了一个很好的栖息地,很快这座桥就成了成千上万只蝙蝠的家)”说明人类的行为对野生动物的帮助,这一例子肯定是为了证明空格处的句子,所以空格处的句子一定和人类帮助野生动物有关。所以B项“Our actions sometimes help other species.(我们的行为有时会帮助其他物种)”填入空格处,符合题意。故选B项。
【18题详解】
空格后的句子“Now, they have come to value their winged neighbors.(现在,它们开始重视它们长翅膀的邻居)”是说人们现在对待这些蝙蝠的态度。空格处的句子应该提到人们原来对待这些蝙蝠的态度,形成前后的对比。所以F项“At first, people were afraid of the bats and tried to get rid of them.(起初,人们害怕蝙蝠,试图除掉它们)”填入空格处,符合题意。故选F项。
【19题详解】
空格前的句子“In many ways, the park is the opposite of a zoo.(在许多方面,这个公园和动物园是对立的)”是说这个公园和动物园是对立的。为什么这样说呢?E项“Instead of being kept in cages, wildlife can move more freely.(野生动物不再被关在笼子里,它们可以更自由地活动)”给出了答案。应该E项填入空格处,和上文是顺接关系,符合题意。故选E项。
【20题详解】
根据空格后的句子“Our own future will be endangered too.(我们自己的未来也将受到威胁)”可知,空格处的句子一定提到野生动物的危险处境。所以C项“If we do not, more species will become extinct.(如果我们不这样做,更多的物种将会灭绝)”填入空格处,符合题意。故选C项。

【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文,主要介绍了针对“动物可以预测地震”这个说法,科学家们持支持或者怀疑的态度,因此,动物是否能在人之前感觉地震还没有定论。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:动物能感知地震的观点很受欢迎,关于动物在地震前表现怪异的故事已经流传了几个世纪。根据空格前的介词about可知,空格处应该用动名词behaving,与animals构成动名词复合结构作介词about的宾语。故填behaving。
【42题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意同上。空处作谓语,主语为stories复数形式,与tell构成逻辑上的被动关系,结合for centuries可知,句子为现在完成时的被动语态。故填have been told。
【43题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:相信动物能感知地震的研究人员认为,动物可能能先于人类感受到地球的震动。空处引导限制性定语从句,先行词为researchers表示人,作从句的主语,用关系代词who/that引导从句。故填who/that。
【44题详解】
考查形容词的级。句意:已经证明,动物比人类更容易受到微小环境变化的影响。空处作表语用形容词,结合后文的than humans are可知,此处用形容词比较级easier。故填easier。
【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意;其他研究人员认为,动物可能会感觉到地球上化学或电的变化,这些变化可能是地震的迹象。earthquake为可数名词单词,此处为泛指,用不定冠词,earthquake以元音音素开始发音,不定冠词用an。故填an。
【46题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:然而,其他科学家认为动物感知地震的能力非常值得怀疑,他们说动物对各种事情都有反应,比如饥饿、保护土地、交配、敌人……。逗号前有谓语,空处无连词,为非谓语,逻辑主语other scientists与say构成主动关系,用现在分词作状语。故填saying。
【47题详解】
考查形容词。句意同上。空处修饰things,表示“各种各样的”用形容词various作定语。故填various。
【48题详解】
考查名词。句意:动物行为学家还指出,人类的心理可能会对宠物主人产生影响,因为他们更愿意相信他们的动物有在地震前发出警告的能力。空处作giving的宾语,表示“警告”用warning的复数形式表示泛指。故填warnings。
【49题详解】
考查介词。句意:这个问题的答案还不清楚。the answer to the question意思为:问题的答案,为固定短语。故填to。
【50题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:到目前为止,关于动物是否能真正感知地震的争论还没有解决这个问题。over为介词,空处引导宾语从句,从句结构完整,根据句意可知,此处表示“是否”,前面有介词,用whether连接。故填whether。

My father’s T-shirt
As a teenager, I am not mature enough. I got angry quite easily and was not good at communicating with others. I had quarrels with my friends, and I was not polite to elders. Because of my bad behavior, I was sometimes punished by my father. However, it took me a long time to learn to control my temper and take the responsibility to make up for my mistakes.
I still remember it was an early autumn. Some leaves started to turn yellow and the weather became cool. One day, as I was getting ready for school, my mother carelessly handed me my father’s T-shirt instead of mine. At that time, I was getting to have a larger size than my father, so when I put on the T-shirt, I felt as if I wasn’t able to breathe! Soon, I realized that it was a small mistake which was made by my mother, but somehow the breathless feeling was so strong that it made me very angry. I could feel my anger growing, bubbling up inside myself. I shouted at her, “Why did you give me the wrong T-shirt?” My mother said sorry with a smile, but I continued to shout at her without thinking much. I got it off my body so wildly, making a hole in it and threw it on the floor. Then I put on my own T-shirt and rushed out of the house before my mother could stop me.
At that time, I didn’t consider how my mother was feeling. I just thought about myself. So after school, when I got home, I felt so regretful but I didn’t say a word to my mom. Feeling so frustrated, my mother shared her bad feeling with my father who was just after work from office, “See what your son has done.” I was so scared that maybe my father would punish me. But unexpectedly, instead of saying he would scold or beat me, my father quietly asked my mother to mend the T-shirt.
注意:
1.所续写短文的词数应为100 左右。
2.续写一段,该段的开头语已为你写好。
Seeing my father’s response I felt more ashamed-of my bad behavior.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Seeing my father’s response, I felt more ashamed of my bad behavior. He came close to me, sat down and asked me why I behaved like that in a gentle voice. Indeed, what my mother did was just a small mistake that wasn’t worth mentioning but I made a fuss. I realized it was my failure in controlling my temper that caused displeasure. I felt terribly sorry for having damaged my father’s T-shirt. On that day, I decided not to let anger take me anymore. Whenever I felt the urge to lose temper, I would try to hold my breath until I calmed down or transfer my attention to let out my bad emotion. Gradually, I changed to a better person, more patient, tolerant and compassionate.
【解析】
