Ⅰ.阅读理解 (每小题2.5分,共10分)
(2024·邢台联考)
Almost every morning for the past two decades,Juliet,a macaw (金刚鹦鹉),has been visiting the local zoo in Rio de Janeiro to interact with others of her kind through the metal enclosure.
Macaws are social birds,so being lonely is a tough burden to bear for Juliet,a beautiful blue-and-yellow macaw who calls Rio home.No one really knows much about her.Zoo staff named the bird Juliet,but they don't even know if she is actually female.It's really hard to tell with macaws,and to determine her true gender they would need to capture the bird,and either examine her gonads (生殖腺) or take blood or feather samples.And there's really no need to put Juliet through all that stress just to satisfy human curiosity.All that everyone knows is that Juliet loves coming to the zoo every morning to be with others of her species.
Macaws have an average life expectancy of about 35 years,and Juliet has been around for at least two decades.Yet,she has never had a mate,built a nest or had chicks,and she probably never will,because there's just no one to do it with.
Luckily,there is hope for Rio's loneliest bird.Through Refauna,an initiative which reintroduces species into protected areas,scientists want to raise some 20 chicks that will receive training on wild food sources,as well as enemies and power line avoidance,before being released into the wild.
The birds will be released into Rio de Janeiro's giant Tijuca Forest National Park,where Juliet is believed to spend her nights.Scientists hope the birds will help keep balance in the local ecosystem,by breaking seeds that other birds can't,thus spreading those seeds.But they will also become welcome company for Juliet,allowing her to fly with others of her kind for the first time in 20 years.And maybe she'll even find love.

语篇解读 本文是一篇记叙文。 作者描述了兰州牛肉面的特点和美味,并提到了自己和侄女对兰州牛肉面的喜爱。
1.答案:shortage
解析:考查词性转换。shortage of 意为“缺少……”,为固定用法。故填shortage。
2.答案:possibly
解析:考查词性转换。空处作状语修饰heard of,意为“可能地”。故填 possibly。
3.答案:among
解析:考查介词。空处表示在三者或三者以上之中,应使用介词among。故填among。
4.答案:Consisting
解析:考查非谓语动词。句子已有谓语动词 has received,空处应用非谓语动词。consist of 与 Lanzhou beef noodles 之间是逻辑上的主谓关系,故用动词-ing形式作状语。故填Consisting。
5.答案:be confirmed
解析:考查动词的语态。The fact 与confirm之间是动宾关系,同时该空位于情态动词 can 之后。故填 be confirmed。

8.答案:to visit
解析:考查非谓语动词。此处应用动词不定式作目的状语。故填to visit。
9.答案:had eaten
解析:考查动词的时态。根据she declared以及时间状语ever可知,此处表示在过去某个动作之前已经完成的动作,故用过去完成时。故填had eaten。
10.答案:the
