After dinner, I was usually so tired that I went to bed. My friends sometimes invite me to go to a party, but I’ m always asleep (睡着的) by the time the fun starts.

Arctic foxes are a kind of foxes live on the land and sea ice within the Arctic Circle (北极圈). Winter in the Arctic is quite different. From October to February, the sun never rises. Luckily, these small foxes have a wonderful ability to live in the icy Arctic. Their thick fur coats and long, furry tails keep their bodies warm. Their feet also have thick fur like built-in snow boots. This makes their prey (猎物) harder to hear their footsteps. And their white coats make it difficult for predators such as wolves, polar bears and golden eagles to find them among ice and snow. When it’s not trying to keep warm, an Arctic fox is on the way to hunt for food. They prefer to eat small lemmings (旅鼠), but when times are difficult they’ll eat whatever they can find: insects, berries…Sometimes an arctic fox will follow a polar bear on a hunting trip and eat the polar bear’s leftovers. If a fox can’t find food, or if the weather gets really bad, it can dig a hole, and slow down its heart rate. This helps the animal save energy so it doesn’t have to eat so much. Once the animal comes out of its den, it’ll try to hunt again. With food in its belly, the Arctic fox has a better chance of making it through another long, dark night. 26. The writer ________ to start the passage. A. gives an example B. asks a question C. gives a suggestion D. shows a picture 27. According to the passage, what makes it easier for the foxes to catch the prey? A. The thick fur coat. B. The long tail. C. The feet with thick fur. D. The ice and snow. 28. What may an Arctic fox do in the worst time? A. Sleep in a den. B. Follow a polar bear. C. Make a coat. D. Eat small foxes. 29. What is the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 30. Which may be the best title of this passage? A. Life in the Arctic Circle. B. How to Find Food? C. Animals in winter. D. Arctic Foxes. 【答案】26. B 27. C 28. A 29. D 30. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了关于北极狐的一些情况。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Do you know Arctic foxes?”可知，作者以一个问题作为文章的开头。故选B。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Their feet also have thick fur like built-in snow boots.”以及“This makes their prey (猎物) harder to hear their footsteps.”可知，脚上厚厚的毛使狐狸更容易抓住猎物。故选C。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据“If a fox can’t find food, or if the weather gets really bad, it can dig a hole, and slow down its heart rate. This helps the animal save energy so it doesn’t have to eat so much.”可知，是睡在洞里。故选A。 【29题详解】 篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段提到了北极狐并介绍了北极冬天的气候特点；第二段介绍了北极狐的生存能力；第三、四、五段介绍了与北极狐捕食有关的信息，这三段是并列关系。故选D。 【30题详解】 最佳标题题。根据文章第一段“Do you know Arctic foxes? Arctic foxes are a kind of foxes live on the land and sea ice within the Arctic Circle (北极圈).”可知，本文主要介绍了关于北极狐的一些情况。因此文章的最佳标题可能是“北极狐”。故选D。 第二节(共5小题, 每小题2分, 满分10分) 阅读短文，从文后所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯。选项中有一项为多余选项。 I always know that chicken noodle soup is useful when we are sick.

Arctic foxes are a kind of foxes live on the land and sea ice within the Arctic Circle (北极圈). Winter in the Arctic is quite different. From October to February, the sun never rises. Luckily, these small foxes have a wonderful ability to live in the icy Arctic. Their thick fur coats and long, furry tails keep their bodies warm. Their feet also have thick fur like built-in snow boots. This makes their prey (猎物) harder to hear their footsteps. And their white coats make it difficult for predators such as wolves, polar bears and golden eagles to find them among ice and snow. When it’s not trying to keep warm, an Arctic fox is on the way to hunt for food. They prefer to eat small lemmings (旅鼠), but when times are difficult they’ll eat whatever they can find: insects, berries…Sometimes an arctic fox will follow a polar bear on a hunting trip and eat the polar bear’s leftovers. If a fox can’t find food, or if the weather gets really bad, it can dig a hole, and slow down its heart rate. This helps the animal save energy so it doesn’t have to eat so much. Once the animal comes out of its den, it’ll try to hunt again. With food in its belly, the Arctic fox has a better chance of making it through another long, dark night. 26. The writer ________ to start the passage. A. gives an example B. asks a question C. gives a suggestion D. shows a picture 27. According to the passage, what makes it easier for the foxes to catch the prey? A. The thick fur coat. B. The long tail. C. The feet with thick fur. D. The ice and snow. 28. What may an Arctic fox do in the worst time? A. Sleep in a den. B. Follow a polar bear. C. Make a coat. D. Eat small foxes. 29. What is the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 30. Which may be the best title of this passage? A. Life in the Arctic Circle. B. How to Find Food? C. Animals in winter. D. Arctic Foxes. 第二节(共5小题, 每小题2分, 满分10分) 阅读短文，从文后所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯。选项中有一项为多余选项。 I always know that chicken noodle soup is useful when we are sick.
