20 外刊阅读拓展 ▶ “答案与解析”见P4 答案讲解 一、 阅读理解。 人类的忠实朋友 Born in 1800, Barry, a dog, saved more than 40 people lost in the snowy Swiss Alps. According to a story, he once found a boy at the edge of an icy cliff(悬崖) that no human could reach. Barry carefuly woke the child by touching his face. Then the boy threw his arms around Barry􀆳s neck, and the big dog carried him to safety. Today, dogs are stil kept at the mountain monastery(修 道 院) where Barry worked. And at least one dog is always named Barry. When Meriwether Lewis and Wiliam Clark set out to explore the American West in 1804, they brought along Lewis􀆳s dog, Seaman. One night, a big buffalo(野 牛) broke into the campground. As the scared animal ran to the tent where the explorers were sleeping, Seaman threw himself into the buffalo􀆳s path and drove it away. Forever thankful, Lewis named a river in Montana “Seaman􀆳s Creek” in honour of his brave dog. Did a dog burn Newton􀆳s homework? In the 1680s, scientist Isaac Newton was hard at work on a book that would finaly explain gravity(重力). Then, disaster! One day when he was out, a fire started in his study and burnt his papers. Newton was so upset that it was over a year before he could bring himself to write out the work again. What caused the fire? No one knows. Many years after Newton􀆳s death, a book about Newton􀆳s life said that the fire started when Newton􀆳s pet dog turned over a candle. But Newton never mentioned having a dog, and most historians ▲ . One of the most famous pilots of World War Ⅰ was Manfred von Richthofen, nicknamed the Red Baron. His pet Great Dane, caled Moritz, slept on the pilot􀆳s bed every night. On April 20, 1918, the restless dog kept the pilot awake al night. And the very next day, an enemy plane shot down Richthofen􀆳s plane. Coincidence(巧 合)? Or was Richthofen too sleepy to fly wel?

What do you imagine when you hear the word “rainforest”? Mile after mile of towering trees in a faraway country? Hot weather, heavy rain and the kind of unbelievable wildlife that you􀆳d never get to see in the UK? Maybe even news reports on stopping people from cutting down the forests? You might be surprised to hear, then, that the UK is home to a lot of its very own kind of rainforest. 1. Temperate rainforests are areas of very damp woodland in temperate areas. Temperate areas are places with warm temperatures. The UK is a good example of a temperate area: the weather isn􀆳t too cold or hot—even though it might feel that way at times. 2. There are plenty of animals, butterflies and trees. The forests are so wet that you􀆳l even find different living things. They grow on top of other living things growing out of tree trunks (树干) and branches. 3. Tropical rainforests are close to the equator(赤道), where the weather is warm al year round. The Amazon is perhaps the most famous example of a tropical rainforest. It􀆳s the largest rainforest in the world. And nearly 60% of it is in Brazil. However, temperate rainforests are fewer than tropical ones. They cover just 1% of the world􀆳s surface. Besides the UK, you can find temperate rainforests in countries including Japan, Chile and New Zealand. Smal temperate rainforests can be found al along the west coast of England, Scotland and Wales. Here, heavy rainfal and high humidity create good conditions for them to grow. 4. So you won􀆳t find temperate rainforests there. Once upon a time, there would have been far more of these leafy wood- lands in the country. But over the years, the trees have been cut down for wood and the land has been used for other things, such as farming. Despite(尽管) that, you can stil visit rainforests in places like Ausewel Wood in Devon, England, and Crinan Wood in Argyl, Scotland. The Wildlife Trusts (a group of 46 independent wildlife protection charities) announced a 38-milion-pound project to bring rainforests back to the UK in February 2023. 5. In January 2024, the National Trust announced that it would plant more than 100,000 trees in North Devon to try to create new temperate rainforests. They are special places. A visit to one of Britain􀆳s new temperate rainforests is unforgettable. (素材来源: The Week Junior) 根据短文内容,从方框中选出适当的选项补 全短文,有两项是多余的。 A. Temperate rainforests are ful of life. B. The east of the UK, on the other hand, is drier. C. It􀆳s dangerous for people to travel through any rainforest. D. They believe there won􀆳t be people who wil cut down trees. E. It is caled the temperate(温 带 的) rainforest—and you can go and see it. F. The UK government would provide up to ￡750,000 for research into protecting them. G. The rainforest you􀆳ve probably heard about most is the tropical(热带的) kind. 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 􀥈 Unit 1 Know yourself 9.

A 推理判断题。根据上文可知,一本关于牛顿生平的 书提到牛顿的宠物狗推倒蜡烛导致失火,但是牛顿从来没 有提到过养狗,故下文对应表示:大多数历史学家都怀疑 这个故事的真实性。 3. D 标题概括题。根据第一篇中“Barry, a dog, saved more than 40 people lost in the snowy Swiss Alps”可知,标 题应为②;根据第二篇中Seaman threw himself into the buffalo􀆳s path and drove it away可知,标题应为③;根据第 三篇中“What caused the fire? No one knows.”可知,标题 应为④;根据第四篇中the restless dog kept the pilot awake al night可知,标题应为①。 二、 1. E 下文介绍温带雨林,上文提到你可能会惊讶地 听到英国有很多自己的雨林,空处对应表示:它被称为温 带雨林———你可以去看看它。 2.

F 根据空处上文“The Wildlife Trusts ...in February 2023.”和空处下文“In January 2024 ...new temperate rainforests.”可推知,空处应列举另一个保护雨林的具体措 施,故F项“英国政府将为保护它们的研究提供高达75万 英镑的资金。”符合语境。 Unit 2　Colours 第1课时 Comic strip & Welcome to the unit [课时新知特训] 一、 1.
