For a long time, they are very helpful. They carry big trees, take people from place to place, and are even used in wars. Some people think it’s not easy to hurt an elephant because its skin is thick and hard. In fact, that’s wrong. Sometimes, a needle can also be very dangerous for the elephant. People say elephants are afraid of mice. This is wrong, too. In fact, elephants have very poor eyesight, so they usually can’t see a mouse even if one comes very close to them. If a person has a good memory, people will say that he has an elephant memory. However, up to now, no study shows that elephants have a better memory than any other animal. People also believe that when it is time for elephants to die, they will hide themselves in a so-called “elephant graveyard”. Often, hunters try to find such places to get ivories, but few people really find places like that. In fact, when elephants are old or get sick, they will stay in deep and secret caves until they get better or die. 41. Elephants can help people a lot EXCEPT ________. A. to carry heavy trees B. to help people build houses C. to carry people to different places D. to help people fight in the war 42. Why do some people think it isn’t easy to hurt an elephant? A. Because the elephant is too big. B. Because people can’t get close to it. C. Because the elephant can kill people. D. Because its skin is thick and hard. 43. What is the possible meaning of the underlined word “graveyard”? A. A place for hiding dead bodies. B. A place for animals to play in. C. A place with yards and flowers. D. A place where elephants are safe. 44. What can we learn from the passage? A. Elephants are afraid of mice. B. Elephants have very poor memories. C. Elephants cannot see very clearly. D. Elephants never go to caves. 45. What is the main idea of this article? A. Elephants are man’s best friends. B. Different countries have different elephants. C. Elephants are the biggest animals on land. D. Some of our ideas about elephants are not correct. 【答案】41. B 42. D 43. A 44. C 45. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述大象的作用以及推翻人们以前对大象的误解。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据“They carry big trees, take people from place to place, and are even used in wars.”可知，大象可以帮助人们搬运大树，把人从一个地方带到另一个地方，甚至在战争中也可以帮助人类。选项B文中没有提到。故选B。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Some people think it’s not easy to hurt an elephant because its skin is thick and hard.”可知，有些人认为伤害大象不容易，因为它的皮肤又厚又硬。故选D。 【43题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“People also believe that when it is time for elephants to die, they will hide themselves in a so-called ‘elephant graveyard’.”可知，人们相信当大象死的时候，它们会把自己藏在所谓的“大象墓地”里。因此“graveyard”表示“墓地”。故选A。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据“In fact, elephants have very poor eyesight,”可知，大象的视力很差。故选C。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文内容可知，本文主要讲述大象的作用以及推翻人们以前对大象的误解。故选D。 C Bears are dangerous animals. We’d like to see them in movies but not face to face. For this reason, they live in the wild although there is pollution, killing and tree cutting. The oldest bear is called Ursavus Elmensis. It was similar to a tiger. It was found in Europe and it lived there 10 million years ago. Over time, it turned into the bear we see in the zoo. Brown bears are the strongest. They have the largest size and they weigh up to 850 kg (male) and 500 kg (female). The weight changes depending on life conditions and food. Polar bears are the best swimmers of all kinds of bears. They live near the Arctic Ocean and have to swim for miles every day in cold water for food. For bears, smell and hearing are the most developed. When the wind is blowing from the front, bears can smell a man about 400 meters away, and over 100 meters away if it is quiet. Their sight is not so good, and we can say that their eyesight is poor. 46. What does the passage NOT show us? A. Bears’ weight. B. Bears’ hearing. C. Bears’ food. D. Bears’ history. 47.

Tigers and lions are animals that people are afraid of. 【答案】46. C 47. A 48. D 49. B 50. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了熊的相关信息。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Brown bears are the strongest.

As is known to all, shouting and running are not allowed in most museums, and touching the exhibits is also forbidden. But the Science Museum in London is different. People talk about what they can see and do here, and there are some very noisy machines as well. In its rooms on the second and third floors, you can learn some knowledge about communications, the environment, maths, physics, chemistry and so on. For example, you can understand how people dig coal from the ground and use it to create energy. And in one of its rooms, you can also have a chance to know how X-rays let you see inside your body. The Launchpad on the third floor is the most popular room because you can experience lots of physics experiments in it. On its fourth and fifth floors, you can learn about what medicine was like in the past. People of all ages can visit the Science Museum in London for free. The museum is open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., so you can enjoy yourself here for either a few minutes or a few hours. If you go to London, don’t miss the chance to visit the Science Museum. 36. The underlined word “forbidden” in the first paragraph means “________” in Chinese. A. 允许 B. 禁止 C. 欢迎 D. 放弃 37. The visitors can’t ________ in the Science Museum in London. A. shout or run B. travel by spaceship C. touch the exhibits D. talk 38. In the second paragraph “it” refers to ________. A. ground B. coal C. X-ray D. museum 39.

A. the introduction of the Science Museum in London B. the history of the Science Museum in London C. the development of the Science Museum in London D. the instructions of the Science Museum in London B Elephants are the largest animals on land. For a long time, they are very helpful. They carry big trees, take people from place to place, and are even used in wars. Some people think it’s not easy to hurt an elephant because its skin is thick and hard. In fact, that’s wrong. Sometimes, a needle can also be very dangerous for the elephant. People say elephants are afraid of mice. This is wrong, too. In fact, elephants have very poor eyesight, so they usually can’t see a mouse even if one comes very close to them. If a person has a good memory, people will say that he has an elephant memory. However, up to now, no study shows that elephants have a better memory than any other animal. People also believe that when it is time for elephants to die, they will hide themselves in a so-called “elephant graveyard”. Often, hunters try to find such places to get ivories, but few people really find places like that. In fact, when elephants are old or get sick, they will stay in deep and secret caves until they get better or die. 41. Elephants can help people a lot EXCEPT ________. A to carry heavy trees B. to help people build houses C. to carry people to different places D. to help people fight in the war 42. Why do some people think it isn’t easy to hurt an elephant? A. Because the elephant is too big. B. Because people can’t get close to it. C. Because the elephant can kill people. D. Because its skin is thick and hard. 43. What is the possible meaning of the underlined word “graveyard”? A. A place for hiding dead bodies. B. A place for animals to play in. C. A place with yards and flowers. D. A place where elephants are safe. 44. What can we learn from the passage? A. Elephants are afraid of mice. B. Elephants have very poor memories. C. Elephants cannot see very clearly. D. Elephants never go to caves. 45. What is the main idea of this article? A. Elephants are man’s best friends. B. Different countries have different elephants. C. Elephants are the biggest animals on land. D. Some of our ideas about elephants are not correct. C Bears are dangerous animals. We’d like to see them in movies but not face to face. For this reason, they live in the wild although there is pollution, killing and tree cutting. The oldest bear is called Ursavus Elmensis. It was similar to a tiger. It was found in Europe and it lived there 10 million years ago. Over time, it turned into the bear we see in the zoo. Brown bears are the strongest. They have the largest size and they weigh up to 850 kg (male) and 500 kg (female). The weight changes depending on life conditions and food. Polar bears are the best swimmers of all kinds of bears. They live near the Arctic Ocean and have to swim for miles every day in cold water for food. For bears, smell and hearing are the most developed. When the wind is blowing from the front, bears can smell a man about 400 meters away, and over 100 meters away if it is quiet. Their sight is not so good, and we can say that their eyesight is poor. 46. What does the passage NOT show us? A. Bears’ weight. B. Bears’ hearing. C. Bears’ food. D. Bears’ history. 47. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. Bears are facing many problems. B. We’d like to see bears face to face. C. Bears are afraid of humans. D. We should make more movies about bears. 48.
