Ⅰ.阅读理解 A The Everglades National Park is located in the state of Florida.It is the largest wilderness in the entire country and makes up 25% of the wetlands in the state.The Everglades is home to several rare and endangered species.It is also the third largest national park in the US，after Death Valley National Park and Yellowstone National Park.Each year，about 1 million tourists visit the park.On a global level，it has been announced as a World Heritage Site. Unlike most other national parks，the Everglades National Park was created to protect an ecosystem (生态系统) from being damaged.In 1947，President Truman spoke at the official opening of the Everglades National Park，saying the goal of creating the park was to protect forever a wild area that could never be replaced. 10，000 different islands make up the Everglades National Park.There exists natural wildlife on each of these islands.The Everglades is home to about 30 species that are endangered.In addition，more than 350 bird species and 300 species of freshwater and saltwater fish live within the park.The Everglades is also home to 40 species of mammals (哺乳动物). There are many ways to explore the Everglades.Visitors can see alligators (短吻鳄) while hiking the Anhinga Trail.The Everglades is one of the few places on Earth where freshwater alligators and saltwater crocodiles live in the same area.Visitors using airboats are likely to see large groups of birds.Some visitors might enjoy riding bicycles through Shark Valley.Others may want to move slowly through the water where they can see insects and wildlife closely. According to experts，changes to the Everglades are becoming a danger to several different kinds of wildlife.They say it is a result of actions the US government began more than 50 years ago，and settlers began even earlier. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了世界自然遗产之一，位于美国佛罗里达州的大沼泽地国家公园。 1．What does the first paragraph mainly talk about? A．Florida is famous for its large wetlands. B．There are three important national parks in the US. C．Visitors think highly of the Everglades National Park. D．The Everglades National Park is very valuable. 解析　段落大意题。第一段提到大沼泽地国家公园是佛罗里达最大的荒野并占据了整个州百分之二十五的湿地。这个大沼泽地是很多珍稀和濒危物种的家园。从全球的范围上来说，它被宣布为世界遗产地。所以第一段主要从多个角度来讲大沼泽地国家公园的重要性。A、B、C项在第一段中都有提及，但都不是该段的主要内容，都属于以偏概全的错误。 答案　D 2．How does the author describe the richness of wildlife in the park? A．By giving examples. B．By listing figures. C．By giving a definition. D．By making a comparison. 解析　推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The Everglades is home to about 30 species that are endangered...more than 350 bird species...40 species of mammals”可知，作者通过列数字来描述这个公园野生动物的丰富性。 答案　B 3．What can we get from the passage? A．Visitors can explore the Everglades in many ways. B．Visitors are not allowed to stay in the water in the park. C．President Truman first suggested setting up the park. D．The Everglades National Park is the largest national park in the US. 解析　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第一句“There are many ways to explore the Everglades.”可知，游客有很多方法探索大沼泽地国家公园。 答案　A 4．What will be further discussed if the passage is continued? A．How the endangered wildlife lost their lives. B．What settlers have done to save the wetlands. C．How the park's environment was badly changed. D．What the government has done to protect the park. 解析　推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，大沼泽地的变化对于很多野生物种来说是个威胁，这是50年前美国政府行为和殖民者更早的行为的结果。所以接下来会进一步讨论公园的环境是如何恶化的。 答案　C B As the climate warms，birds are shrinking (缩小) and their wingspans are growing，according to a new study.Researchers analyzed 70，716 birds from 52 kinds of North American migratory (迁徙的) bird species collected over 40 years.The authors say the study is the largest of its kind and that the findings are important to understanding how animals will adapt to climate change. “We found almost all of the species were getting smaller.” said lead author Brian Weeks，an assistant professor at the University of Michigan.“The species were pretty diverse，but responding in a similar way，” he said.“The consistency (一致性) was shocking.” He said studies of animal responses to climate change often focus on shifts in geographical range or timing of life events，like migration and birth.But this study suggests body morphology (形态) is a crucial third aspect.“That's one major implication，” he said，“It's hard to understand how birds will adapt without taking all three of these things into consideration.” The findings showed that from 1978 to 2016，the length of the birds'lower leg bone shortened by 2.4%.Over the same time，the wings lengthened by 1.3%. The evidence suggests warming temperatures caused the decrease in body size，which in turn caused the increase in wing length. “Migration is an incredibly taxing thing they do，” Mr. Weeks said，explaining that the smaller body size means less energy available for the birds to complete their long journeys.He says the birds most likely to survive migration were the ones with longer wingspans and smaller bodies. The scientists aren't exactly sure why warmer temperatures cause birds to shrink.One theory is that smaller animals are better at cooling off，losing body heat more quickly. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。研究表明，随着气候变暖，鸟类的数量在不断减少，而其体型也在不断缩小，并且翅膀也随之增长。 5．What made Brian Weeks feel astonished? A．It took 40 years to collect 70，716 birds from North America. B．Many birds are shrinking when responding to the climate change. C．All migratory bird species were collected to do the important research. D．So many researchers take part in the largest study to work out the findings. 解析　细节理解题。根据第二段布莱恩·威克斯所说内容可知，他认为许多鸟类在应对气候变化时都在缩小体型是令人震惊的。 答案　B 6．What does the underlined word “taxing” most probably mean? A．Tiring.　　　　 B．Important. C．Easy. D．Pleasant. 解析　词义猜测题。根据“Mr. Weeks said...complete their long journeys.”可知，迁徙是一件非常疲劳的事情。 答案　A 7．What can we infer from the last paragraph? A．The migratory birds aren't big. B．The temperatures will be higher. C．The scientists will go on further study. D．The smaller animals will surely live longer. 解析　推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The scientists aren't exactly sure why warmer temperatures cause birds to shrink.”可知，科学家还不知道气温升高导致鸟类缩小的原因。因此，科学家们将继续深入研究。 答案　C 8．What's the best title for the passage? A．All of the Birds Are Getting Smaller B．Animals Are Adapting to Climate Change C．Climate Change Is Causing Birds to Shrink D．Scientists Are Finding Causes of Warm Climate 解析　标题归纳题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了随着气候变暖，鸟类的数量在不断减少，其体型也在不断缩小，并且翅膀也随之增长。 解析　C Ⅱ.完形填空 Sometime last year，Michael Blonder began giving out reusable fabric bags (布袋) with each purchase instead of disposable plastic bags at A．L.Goodies General Store.It is a souvenir shop Blonder 1 on Main Street.
