Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
When I was a boy,we lived 4 miles outside of town.We lived next to the forest and I would spend hours every day playing in it with the oak (橡树) and maple trees as my companions.I would climb up their limbs,sit in their shade,and feel their peace.
That is why it was so hard for me when I found myself to be a lumberjack as a young man.It wasn't just the back breaking work,the long hours,and the low pay.It was also seeing day after day beautiful trees that had grown for half a century being sawed(锯) up and cut into flooring.Still,I couldn't help but think that they looked a lot more lovely as living trees reaching up to Heaven than as dead flooring lying under my feet.
One afternoon after a long day's work,I was feeling particularly down and depressed.I decided to take a walk in the woods like I had as a boy in hopes of lifting my spirits and calming my soul.As I walked along with my aching back and tired body,I longed for those happy childhood days.I dropped my head frustratedly and looked down at the dirt.That is when I saw it:a single,red oak acorn (橡子) that had somehow survived the hungry deer and squirrels all winter long.Then I remembered something I'd read once:“Eventually an acorn becomes a forest!” I smiled,bent down,dug up a handful of dirt,and planted that little acorn,feeling peace and joy warming my heart.Then I walked back home happy once again to be a part of the green earth.
In this life we all start out as an acorn,but whether we become a forest or not is up to us.It we have this glorious life here to grow,learn,laugh,love,share,smile,and help others to do the same.Embrace this gift of life.Use it every day to stretch your soul towards Heaven and create a mighty forest of love.

Please don't feel singled out,special,or view yourself as a chosen one.She bites everyone.This is just the nature of the beast.There is absolutely no truth about the persistent myths that mosquitoes fancy females over males,that they prefer blondes and redheads over those with darker hair,or that the darker or rougher your skin,the safer you are from her bite.It is true,however,that she does play favorites and feasts on some more than others.
Blood type O seems to be the choice over types A and B or AB.People with blood type O get bitten twice as often as those with type A,with type B falling somewhere in between.
Those who have higher natural levels of certain chemicals in their skin,particularly lactic acid(乳酸),also seem to be more attractive.From these elements,she can analyze which blood type you are.These are the same chemicals that determine an individual's level of skin bacteria and unique body smell.
Mosquitoes are also attracted by perfumes,soaps,and other applied fragrances.While this may seem unfair to many of you,she also has a desire for beer drinkers.
Wearing bright colors is also not a wise choice,since she hunts by both sight and smell,the latter depending chiefly on the amount of carbon dioxide sent out by the potential target.So she can smell carbon dioxide from over 200 feet away.When you exercise,for example,you emit more carbon dioxide through both breath and output.You also sweat,releasing those appetizing chemicals,primarily lactic acid,that invites the mosquito's attention.
Lastly,your body temperature rises,which is an easily identifiable heat signature.On average,pregnant women suffer twice as many bites,as they have a slightly raised body temperature.
Please don't go on a shower,stop exercise or give up your beloved beer and bright Tshirts just yet.Unfortunately,85% of what makes you attractive to mosquitoes is fixed in advance in your genetic circuit board(电路板). At the end of the day,she will find blood from any exposed target of opportunity.

Some bee species defend their hives(蜂巢) by forming large balls
The body temperature of bees is typically similar to that of their surrounding environment. But within the hive,bees maintain a steady temperature of around 92—93 degrees Fahrenheit yearround.Using their wings, bees can fan hot air out of the hive to cool an area. 2 When an enemy invades, together they will create a large ball around it to cook the invader.
Bees help farmers get a good harvest and keep food prices down
Bees are highly efficient pollinators.When bees are employed to pollinate, the quantity and quality of the crops improve surprisingly. As the climate continues to change, many animals will move to more favorable habitats. 3 With the reducing numbers of bees, the prices of over 130 fruit and vegetable plants that we rely on for food are going up.
Policemen find murderers by studying bees

[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了黄山四季优美景色,每个季节都有其特殊的景色,如夏天很凉爽,秋天看枫叶,冬天看云海,春天看瀑布,充分展现了大自然的美丽。
1.解析 考查非谓语动词。句意:黄山位于安徽省南部,是中国人必去的景点。句中谓语是is,空格处用非谓语动词,Huangshan和locate之间是逻辑动宾关系,因此空格处用过去分词表被动。
答案 located
2.解析 考查定语从句。句意:就像中国所有受欢迎的旅游景点一样,在旺季和国庆节期间,它非常拥挤,在此期间必须预订。空格处是“介词+which/whom”引导的非限制性定语从句,先行词peak seasons and national holidays是物,因此空格处用which。
答案 which
3.解析 考查冠词。句意:每个季节都呈现出这座美丽山峰独特的一面。aspect是可数名词,此处表泛指,前面要加不定冠词,unique是辅音音素开头,因此不定冠词用a。
答案 a
4.解析 考查介词。句意:在秋天,颜色是最明亮的,蓝天和红枫是完美的图画。空格处用at表示颜色处于最明亮的状态。
答案 at
5.解析 考查副词。句意:秋天也是旅游旺季,尤其是在十一国庆期间。空格处用副词修饰“during the October National holidays”,particular的副词是particularly,意为“尤其”。
答案 particularly
6.解析 考查不定式。句意:而且,这是最经济的旅行时间。it is time to do是固定短语,意为“是做某事的时间”,因此空格处是to travel。
答案 to travel
7.解析 考查名词的复数。句意:春天的到来带来了新鲜的绿色植物和野花,瀑布和小溪正处于最佳状态——一个美丽的旅游时间,不像夏天和秋天的高峰期那么拥挤。夏天和秋天的高峰期不止一个月,因此空格处用复数months。
答案 months
8.解析 考查时态,语态和主谓一致。句意:《卧虎藏龙》中的一些场景就是在这个美丽的地方拍摄的。电影是被拍摄,句子描述过去的事情,因此空格处用一般过去时的被动语态,即was/were done,主语“some of the scenes”是复数,因此空格处是were filmed。
答案 were filmed
9.解析 考查连词。句意:穿上舒适的鞋子,最重要的是,在这座令人惊叹的中国山上享受环绕你的自然之美!“Wear comfortable shoes”和“enjoy the beauty of nature”是并列关系,因此用and连接。
答案 and
10.解析 考查时态和主谓一致。句意:穿上舒适的鞋子,最重要的是,在这座令人惊叹的中国山上享受环绕你的自然之美!空格处作that引导的定语从句中的谓语,句子描述客观事实,时态用一般现在时,that指代的是先行词beauty,是不可数名词,因此空格处用第三人称单数surrounds。
答案 surrounds
