Have you ever seen a koala somewhere? Koalas, which are often called koala “bears”, are tree-climbing animals and are seen as national symbols of Australia. However, recently the Australian government has announced (宣布) that koalas are endangered animals across much of the country.
As a matter of fact, the country lost 30% of its koala population between 2018 and 2021, especially in New South Wales, according to a report from the Australian Koala Foundation. If nothing was done, New South Wales’ koalas would die out by 2050, a research in June 2020 said. “This must be a wake-up call to Australia and the government to move much faster to protect the cute animals,” Josey Sharrad, a manager with the International Fund for Animal Welfare, said seriously.
Koalas are dying out all over the country because of the climate (气候) change and the fast development of cities. People have seen some places that look like the moon-with dead and dying trees everywhere.
After WWF-Australia and the International Fund for Animal Welfare called on the government to announce koalas as endangered in April, the government promised they would get more public support and protect koalas’ home-they live in the forests and woodlands.
The Australian government is now doing its best to collect money to protect koalas. On the one hand, it has spent $13 million in helping improve their living places. On the other hand, the government plans to spend another $36 million doing better health research and medical support to further help koala programs over the next four years.
“We should never have allowed things to get to the point where we are at risk of losing a national symbol,” Environment Minister Susan Ley said.
41. What has the Australian government announced recently?
________________________.
42. When would New South Wales’ koalas die out if nothing was done?
________________________.
43. Why are koalas dying out all over the country?
________________________.
44. Where do koalas live?
________________________.
45. What can you learn from the passage?
________________________.

【21题详解】
句意:但他一直没能和其他孩子一起坐校车。根据下文“His parents drive him to school every day......serious illness......”可知没有坐过校车,never“从未”符合语境。故选B。
【22题详解】

【24题详解】
句意:然而家里没有足够的钱,凯文非常想养一只,所以他没有放弃。此处应填连词,前后句意之间是转折关系,且空后由逗号隔开,所以用however。故选F。

【27题详解】

【30题详解】
句意:凯文高兴地说,他会用这些钱买一只服务犬,然后把剩下的钱送给其他需要帮助的孩子。此处缺少副词修饰动词said,结合凯文成功筹到了钱可知,他应是高兴地说,“happily高兴地”符合语境。故选 F。

【导语】本文主要讲述了作者所在社区举行的庭院拍卖会。
【31题详解】
句意:我们社区举行了一场庭院拍卖会。根据前句时间“Last week”可知此处指过去的事情,应用一般过去时,动词需变为过去式“held”。故填held。
32题详解】

句意:来自社区的人们都激动地来看拍卖会上的东西。此空位于介词“with”后,应用“excite”的名词“excitement”,with excitement“激动地”。故填excitement。
【35题详解】
句意:我们社区的一名工人说,人们为这场拍卖会准备了三个月了。根据“for three months”可知此句应用现在完成时,主句“A worker in our community said”是一般过去时,因此宾语从句应变为过去完成时“had prepared”。故填had prepared。
【36题详解】
句意:这场拍卖会最突出的一件事就是人们都很真诚。此空修饰“everyone”,作表语,应用“truth”的形容词“true”。故填true。
【37题详解】
句意:这深深地感动了我。此空修饰动词“moved”,应用“deep”的副词deeply“深深地”。故填deeply。
【38题详解】
句意:一些人在寻找过去流行的东西,而另一些人在寻找现代的东西。此句是“while”引导的时间状语从句,应用过去进行时表示与主句的动作同时发生,主语“others”是复数,因此be动词用were,动词变为现在分词“searching”。故填were searching。
【39题详解】
句意:总而言之,庭院拍卖把社区人们团结在一起,因为它提供了一种让我们的家变整洁的方式。此句“it provided a fun way to tidy our homes”是前句“the yard sale brought our community together”的原因,应用“because”引导原因状语从句。故填because。
【40题详解】
句意:很多人把这当作一种认识新朋友以及和老朋友保持联系的好方法。根据“regard it…a great way”可知此处应用“as”,regard…as…“把……视作……”。故填as。
四、阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分, 计 10分)
阅读下面短文,完成短文后的问题。
Have you ever seen a koala somewhere? Koalas, which are often called koala “bears”, are tree-climbing animals and are seen as national symbols of Australia. However, recently the Australian government has announced (宣布) that koalas are endangered animals across much of the country.
As a matter of fact, the country lost 30% of its koala population between 2018 and 2021, especially in New South Wales, according to a report from the Australian Koala Foundation. If nothing was done, New South Wales’ koalas would die out by 2050, a research in June 2020 said. “This must be a wake-up call to Australia and the government to move much faster to protect the cute animals,” Josey Sharrad, a manager with the International Fund for Animal Welfare, said seriously.
Koalas are dying out all over the country because of the climate (气候) change and the fast development of cities. People have seen some places that look like the moon-with dead and dying trees everywhere.
After WWF-Australia and the International Fund for Animal Welfare called on the government to announce koalas as endangered in April, the government promised they would get more public support and protect koalas’ home-they live in the forests and woodlands.
The Australian government is now doing its best to collect money to protect koalas. On the one hand, it has spent $13 million in helping improve their living places. On the other hand, the government plans to spend another $36 million doing better health research and medical support to further help koala programs over the next four years.
“We should never have allowed things to get to the point where we are at risk of losing a national symbol,” Environment Minister Susan Ley said.
41. What has the Australian government announced recently?
________________________.
42. When would New South Wales’ koalas die out if nothing was done?
________________________.
43. Why are koalas dying out all over the country?
________________________.
44. Where do koalas live?
________________________.
45. What can you learn from the passage?
________________________.
【答案】41. Koalas are endangered animals across much of the country
42. By 2050
43. Because of the climate change and the fast development of cities
44. In the forests and woodlands
45. Koalas may have better living places, because Australian government spends a lot of money helping koalas
【解析】

【41题详解】

【42题详解】
根据“If nothing was done, New South Wales’ koalas would die out by 2050,”可知,如果什么都不做的话,新南威尔士州的考拉将在2050年灭绝。故填By 2050。
【43题详解】
根据“Koalas are dying out all over the country because of the climate change and the fast development of cities.”可知,由于气候变化和城市的快速发展,考拉正在全国各地灭绝。故填Because of the climate change and the fast development of cities。
【44题详解】
根据“they live in the forests and woodlands.”可知,它们住在森林和林地。故填In the forests and woodlands。
【45题详解】
因为政府花了很多钱来帮助考拉,所以考拉也许可以有更好的居住环境。故填Koalas may have better living places, because Australian government spends a lot of money helping koalas。
