There were wolves and bears, many different kinds of deer and large wild cows. There were less than four million people. They lived in small villages protected by wooden walls from the animals outside. All this has changed, of course. Now the population (人口) of the United Kingdom is sixty-five million. Three-quarters of Britain is covered with fields, towns or cities. Although 25 percent of land is countryside, changes in farming mean that there are fewer birds and small animals living in fields than ever before. The United Kingdom is one of the few countries in the world without any large wild animal that eats meat. In Scotland there are only 400 wildcats, but these are much smaller than wolves. Some people would like to change things, however! Some organizations (机构) and writers say that Britain needs to become more natural again. They suggest that people should grow trees and plants in the UK before again. They even say that people should help large wild animals return and live wild in the UK. They call this “rewilding”. Not everyone agrees. Some people ask if wolves will hurt sheep or even humans. They are also angry that rewilding might mean an end to walking in the hills. So far there are no wolves or bears in Britain’s forests, but soon there might be! 26. What was the population of the UK thousands of years ago? A. About 25 million. B. Over 65 million. C. More than 61 million. D. Not more than four million. 27. Why are there fewer birds and smell animals in fields in the UK? A. Because the population of the UK is growing. B. Because there are more large wild animals. C. Because the number of wildcats is smaller. D. Because people use new ways of farming. 28. What do some people disagree with? A. Living closer to nature. B. Planting more and more trees. C. Helping large wild animals return. D. Building more villages and towns. 【答案】26 D 27. D 28. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲了英国因为人口增长，城市面积扩大，挤占了野生动物的生存空间，有人想要改变现状，但是处于不同的考量，并不是每个人都同意。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的倒数第二句“There were less than four million people.”可知，当时只有不到400万人。故选D。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的第四句“Although 25 percent of land is countryside, changes in farming mean that there are fewer birds and small animals living in fields than ever before.”可知， 虽然25%的土地是农村，但新的耕作方法意味着，在田里生活的鸟类和小动物比以往任何时候都少。故选D。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Some people ask if wolves will hurt sheep or even humans. They are also angry that rewilding might mean an end to walking in the hills.”可知，很多人是不同意帮助大型野生动物回归的。故选C。 C One of the most famous scientists to study adaptations (适应) was Charles Darwin. He was born in England in 1809. He wasn’t the best student in his school. When he was 16, his father sent him to a medical school. Charles liked spending time outdoors observing nature more than attending medical classes. He dropped out without graduating. Next, Charles’ father sent him to school to become a minister (牧师). This time he made it to graduation (毕业), but he didn’t want to do the work of a minister. His friends encouraged him to follow his interest in science. After graduation, Charles was invited to sail on the Beagle as an unpaid scientist. He wasn’t the first choice (选择), but he was the lucky one to go. The Beagle was to travel to South America and then around the world. The crew’s (船员的) task was to make maps of the places they visited. On December 27, 1831, Charles Darwin sailed from England on the Beagle. The trip was planned to last two years. In fact, it lasted five. During the time, he saw many amazing things. He collected lots of plants and animals and took them back to England to study. Twenty-three years later, Darwin published (出版) a scientific paper with another man named Wallace. Darwin described how some animals have adaptations that help them live longer. They are passed on to their babies. 29. The Beagle was a(n) ________. A. ship B. plane C. plant D. animal 30.

But here’s the clever part: the small neck of the jar stopped the monkey from getting its hand out without giving up the food.” “No matter how hard the monkey pulled,” the father continued, “it couldn’t free its hand without letting go of the food. But do you know what happened next?” “The children shook their heads, asking, “What?” The father replied, “The monkey always refused to let go. It held onto the food, never giving up.” One child asked, “What happened to the monkey, Dad?” With a smile, the father said, “The hunters would then come over and catch the monkey, my dear. So, my little sons, remember this story. In life, you must choose your battles (战斗) wisely. Know when to give up, when to move on, and when to let go of whatever’s holding you back.

During the ________ century, mobile phones become popular all over the world. 【答案】51. natural 52. incorrect 53. further 54. fishermen 55. twentieth 【解析】 【51题详解】 句意：对于一个三岁的孩子来说，对发生在她周围的事情感兴趣是很自然的事。根据“for a 3-year-old child to be interested in what happens around her”及备选词可知，这里指对发生在她周围的事情感兴趣是很自然的事，nature“自然”，名词，根据句型“It’s+形容词+for sb. to do sth.”可知，空格处应该填形容词，nature的形容词为natural。故填natural。 【52题详解】 句意：杰克，你又粗心了，你许多问题的答案都是不正确的。根据“you are careless again”及备选词可知，此处表示Jack犯了很多错误，所以答案是不正确的，correct“正确的”，其反义词为incorrect“错误的”。故填incorrect。 【53题详解】 句意：在课堂结束时，老师问我们：“你们还有任何进一步的问题吗？”根据“Do you have any...questions?”及备选词可知，这里指进一步的问题，far“远的”符合语境，far的比较级有farther和further，其中farther表示路程上更远，further表示程度上更远，本题表示问题的程度上更进一步。故填further。 【54题详解】 句意：——这顶帽子是谁的，迈克？——我不知道。你可以去问那边渔夫们中的一个。根据“You can ask one of the...over there.”及备选词可知，这里指问那边渔夫，fisherman“渔夫”符合语境，根据句型“one of +the+可数名词复数”表示“……之一”可知，空格处应填fisherman的复数为fishermen。故填fishermen。 【55题详解】 句意：在二十世纪，移动电话在世界各地流行起来。根据“the...century”可知，这里表示第20世纪，结合所给单词，基数词twenty“二十”要变为序数词twentieth“第二十”。故填twentieth。 七、(本大题共1小题，共10分) 阅读填空 A few years ago, I visited the Classical Gardens of Suzhou. During the visit, I moved my attention (注意) from the plants, bridges and stones towards ____56____ walls of the gardens.

The air was full of small drops of water, showing the light and the color ____64____ the things around.

B Thousands of years ago, Britain was covered by forests, home to many animals which no longer live in the United Kingdom. There were wolves and bears, many different kinds of deer and large wild cows. There were less than four million people. They lived in small villages protected by wooden walls from the animals outside. All this has changed, of course. Now the population (人口) of the United Kingdom is sixty-five million. Three-quarters of Britain is covered with fields, towns or cities. Although 25 percent of land is countryside, changes in farming mean that there are fewer birds and small animals living in fields than ever before. The United Kingdom is one of the few countries in the world without any large wild animal that eats meat. In Scotland there are only 400 wildcats, but these are much smaller than wolves. Some people would like to change things, however! Some organizations (机构) and writers say that Britain needs to become more natural again. They suggest that people should grow trees and plants in the UK before again. They even say that people should help large wild animals return and live wild in the UK. They call this “rewilding”. Not everyone agrees. Some people ask if wolves will hurt sheep or even humans. They are also angry that rewilding might mean an end to walking in the hills. So far there are no wolves or bears in Britain’s forests, but soon there might be! 26. What was the population of the UK thousands of years ago? A. About 25 million. B. Over 65 million. C. More than 61 million. D. Not more than four million. 27. Why are there fewer birds and smell animals in fields in the UK? A. Because the population of the UK is growing. B. Because there are more large wild animals. C. Because the number of wildcats is smaller. D. Because people use new ways of farming. 28. What do some people disagree with? A. Living closer to nature. B. Planting more and more trees. C. Helping large wild animals return. D. Building more villages and towns. C One of the most famous scientists to study adaptations (适应) was Charles Darwin. He was born in England in 1809. He wasn’t the best student in his school. When he was 16, his father sent him to a medical school. Charles liked spending time outdoors observing nature more than attending medical classes. He dropped out without graduating. Next, Charles’ father sent him to school to become a minister (牧师). This time he made it to graduation (毕业), but he didn’t want to do the work of a minister. His friends encouraged him to follow his interest in science. After graduation, Charles was invited to sail on the Beagle as an unpaid scientist. He wasn’t the first choice (选择), but he was the lucky one to go. The Beagle was to travel to South America and then around the world. The crew’s (船员的) task was to make maps of the places they visited. On December 27, 1831, Charles Darwin sailed from England on the Beagle. The trip was planned to last two years. In fact, it lasted five. During the time, he saw many amazing things. He collected lots of plants and animals and took them back to England to study. Twenty-three years later, Darwin published (出版) a scientific paper with another man named Wallace. Darwin described how some animals have adaptations that help them live longer. They are passed on to their babies. 29. The Beagle was a(n) ________. A. ship B. plane C. plant D. animal 30. When Darwin published the scientific paper, he was ________ years old. A. twenty–three B. twenty–two C. forty–five D. fifty 31. Which of the following is true? A. Darwin graduated from a medical school in England. B. Darwin thought adaptations helped animals live longer. C. Darwin made maps of the places with the crew. D. Darwin worked as a minister for a long time. D One day, two boys were fighting badly over a toy. Their father saw this, pulled them apart, and said, “Did you know how hunters (猎人) used to catch monkeys? They would place a glass jar (罐子) with a small neck on the ground. Then, inside the jar, they would put the monkeys’ favorite food.” As the children listened carefully, the father went on, “The hunters would step back, hiding somewhere, waiting for monkeys to come over.” “When a monkey found the jar,” the father said, “it would reach inside, take the food, and try to pull it out. But here’s the clever part: the small neck of the jar stopped the monkey from getting its hand out without giving up the food.” “No matter how hard the monkey pulled,” the father continued, “it couldn’t free its hand without letting go of the food. But do you know what happened next?” “The children shook their heads, asking, “What?” The father replied, “The monkey always refused to let go. It held onto the food, never giving up.” One child asked, “What happened to the monkey, Dad?” With a smile, the father said, “The hunters would then come over and catch the monkey, my dear. So, my little sons, remember this story. In life, you must choose your battles (战斗) wisely. Know when to give up, when to move on, and when to let go of whatever’s holding you back. Just like the monkey, sometimes, it’s better to give up and find a better way to reach your dreams.” 32. How did the father teach his children? A. By showing them a picture. B. By talking with a monkey. C. By telling them a story. D. By sharing his own experience(经历). 33. Why did the hunters use a small-neck jar? A. To stop the monkey from taking the food away easily. B. To help the monkey get the food easily. C. To let the monkey’s hand in, but not out. D. To make the jar look like it was full of food. 34. What happened to the monkey at the end of the story? A. It ran away with the jar. B. It found a better way to eat the food. C. It let go of the food and ran away. D. It was caught by the hunters. 35. What lesson does the father teach his children with the story? A. Hold onto thinks whatever happens. B. Know when to let go. C. Always fight for what you want. D. Never expect a free lunch. 四、信息还原(本大题共1小题，共5分) 阅读以下内容，从其后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，有两项是多余的。 Wendy: I’m in Shanghai at last. My parents and I flew here last night from Beijing. Connie: How was the trip?
