Do you still remember the elephant “Tour group” in Yunnan? In March, 2020, a family of 15 wild Asian elephants left their habitat in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province. They kept going north, through mountain, forests, rivers and even cities. Along the journey, they ran into villages and ate farmers’ corn. But farmers didn’t get angry. “They are just hungry.” a farmer said.
Scientists guessed that the elephants were lost in their habitats, so they might go north to look for a new home with more food. Or maybe the group lost its way because its leader (领袖) had no experience.
To help the elephants get home and protect them the government used 76 police cars and trucks, 56 diggers and 9 drones (无人机). Police and scientists closely watched the group’s movement and told people not to get close to them. They also helped them with food and drink. Finally, the elephants ended their trip safely and happily after 17 months and a 500-kilometer journey.

【45题详解】

【47题详解】

十一.完成句子(每空1分, 共10分。)
按要求完成句子, 每空一词, 含缩略词。
49. I was introducing my hometown when you called me up. (对划线部分提问)
What ________ you ________ when I called you up?
【答案】 ①. were ②. doing
【解析】
【详解】句意:你打电话给我时,我正在介绍我的家乡。原句时态为过去进行时,对动作进行提问,应用what引导特殊疑问句,主语为“you”,所以be动词应用were,位于疑问词后,主语后应用现在分词doing。故填 were;doing。
50. I have already put up the tent. (改为一般疑问句)
________ you put up the tent ________?
【答案】 ①. Have ②. yet
【解析】
【详解】句意:我已经搭好帐篷了。原句是含有助动词have的现在完成时的句子,变为一般疑问句时,应把have提到句首;already“已经”常用于肯定句,变为一般疑问句时应变为yet。故填Have;yet。
51. Luckily, he didn’t lose his life though he lost everything.(改为同义句)
He lost everything ________ luckily he didn’t ________
【答案】 ①. but ②. lose his life
【解析】
【详解】句意:幸运的是, 尽管他失去了一切, 但他没有失去生命。第一空用表示转折关系的连词but。第二空用lose his life, 放在助动词didn’t后面要用动词原形。故填but;lose his life。
52. We didn’t drive a car to Jacky’s concert. We went there by subway. (改为同义句)
We went to Jacky’s concert by subway ________ driving a car.
【答案】instead of
【解析】
【详解】句意:我们没有开车去听杰基的音乐会。我们坐地铁去了那里。根据“by subway”和“driving a car”可知是坐地铁而不是开车,用介词短语instead of表示“而不是,代替”,后接动名词作宾语。故填instead of。
53. 我想出了一个完美的计划。(完成译句)
I came up ________ a ________ plan.
【答案】 ①. with ②. perfect
【解析】
【详解】根据汉语意思可知,此处缺少”想出”和”完美的”的英语表达。想出come up with,第一空用with;完美的perfect,第二空用perfect,修饰名词“plan”。故填with;perfect。

【55题详解】

【56题详解】

Do you still remember the elephant “Tour group” in Yunnan? In March, 2020, a family of 15 wild Asian elephants left their habitat in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province. They kept going north, through mountain, forests, rivers and even cities. Along the journey, they ran into villages and ate farmers’ corn. But farmers didn’t get angry. “They are just hungry.” a farmer said.
Scientists guessed that the elephants were lost in their habitats, so they might go north to look for a new home with more food. Or maybe the group lost its way because its leader (领袖) had no experience.
To help the elephants get home and protect them, the government used 76 police cars and trucks, 56 diggers and 9 drones (无人机). Police and scientists closely watched the group’s movement and told people not to get close to them. They also helped them with food and drink. Finally, the elephants ended their trip safely and happily after 17 months and a 500-kilometer journey.
The Asia elephant is the largest land animal in Asia. Yunnan is the only habitat for wild Asian elephants in China. The province has built 11 nature reserves. There are about 300 of them in China.
The WWF is working hard to save them.
