Hearing the news, she decided to spend the rest of her life doing what she loved most—watching birds. She went off to some of the world’s most amazing natural places at once. Her trips were really hard. But Phoebe surprised her doctors and her family as she carried on travelling. Years came and went, she was still alive. Ten years later, the cancer came back. But as she continued with her trips, the cancer went away again. At the age of 61, she had seen 7,530 kinds of birds and was named “the world’s leading bird watcher.” Four years later, during a trip to Mexico, she set a new record when she found species number 8,000. In fact, at that time only 12 people around the world had seen more than 7,000kinds of birds! Phoebe’s interest in bird-watching started when she moved to Missouri. There, she joined a group of people who were interested in birds, insects and plants. She became very worried about pollution and its influence on the environment. “We have to protect nature, or the future people won’t be able to watch these beautiful birds.” she said. Sadly, when she was 68, she died in a car accident on the island where she had stayed for two weeks and added another five to her list of over 8,400 species. Four years later, the American Birding Association made her memoirs (回忆录) available. Many people have enjoyed reading this moving book. It isn’t just a story about a bird watcher’s travels, but a touching one of how her hobby helped her to live much longer than expected. 31. Phoebe did the bird watching mainly to ________. A. protect the birds B. cheer her family up C. follow her heart D. overcome cancer 32. According to paragraph 2, Phoebe’s doctors were surprised by ________.

A. hobbies influence health B. family support is important C. nature is the best doctor D. challenges are everywhere 【答案】31. C 32. C 33. C 34. C 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了Phoebe在被诊断出癌症后，通过坚持自己热爱的观鸟活动，不仅延长了寿命，还成为世界顶尖的观鸟者，并留下了一本感人的回忆录。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Hearing the news, she decided to spend the rest of her life doing what she loved most—watching birds.”可知，她观鸟主要是跟随自己内心的喜好。故选C。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据“But Phoebe surprised her doctors and her family as she carried on travelling. Years came and went, she was still alive.”可知，她在患癌后还能继续旅行且存活多年，医生惊讶于她的坚强意志和生命力。故选C。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据“At the age of 50, Phoebe was told that she had cancer, with less than a year to live.”可知，首先是被确诊患癌，即②排第一，排除AD选项；根据“At the age of 61, she had seen 7,530 kinds of birds and was named ‘the world’s leading bird watcher.’ ”可知，然后是61岁因观鸟成名，①排第二，排除B选项。故选C。 【34题详解】 最佳标题题。通读全文可知，Phoebe在50岁时患上癌症，被告知只剩下不到一年的寿命，得知这个消息后，她决心跟随自己的内心去观鸟，此后她奇迹般地多活了很多年。因此C选项“用多活的时间观鸟”最能概括Phoebe的经历。故选C。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，Phoebe在患上癌症被告知只剩下不到一年的寿命后去了自己去喜欢的事情——观鸟，此后他奇迹般地多活了很多年。文章的最后一句“a touching one of how her hobby helped her to live much longer than expected.”升华了本文的主旨，由此可知可知意在告诉我们爱好会影响我们的健康状况。故选A。 C Jim Savage was setting out for a day’s fishing off the Florida coast (海岸) when he heard the cries of a baby dolphin in trouble. The three-month-old had got her tail caught in the ropes of a used crab trap. Jim knew that if he left her, the dolphin would have little chance of living. He cut her free and got in touch with the government. She was taken to Clear water Marine Aquarium, but her injuries were so severe that she lost her tail. The aquarium staff named the baby dolphin Winter and she gradually learned how to swim again. Unluckily, because of the way she was moving in the water without her tail, she was in danger of developing a problem with her spine (脊椎). Kevin Carroll and Dan Strzempka, who ran a company making artificial limbs, heard about the problem and had a brilliant idea. Kevin and Dan told the staff at the aquarium that they would make an artificial (人造的) tail for Winter! There were a lot of challenges that Kevin and Dan had to deal with along the way, like trying to fit an artificial tail on a playful young dolphin that doesn’t want to stay still! It took over fifty prototypes (模型) and a year and a half before Winter finally got her new 30-inch tail. After seeing her swim with it for the first time, Kevin said that ★ . Making the tail was only half the story, though. For Winter to be able to swim properly, the artificial tail needed to be held in place without damaging her skin. Specialists came up with a soft material that firmly holds the skin and doesn’t hurt. Designed especially for Winter, this material was so successful that “WintersGel” is now being used to make artificial limbs more comfortable for people with false arms and legs all around the world. In 2011 the tale was made into a film, ‘Dolphin Tale”, starring Winter herself. It’s about a dolphin that would have died, but could live because a few people cared. 36. The underlined phrased “severe” in Para. 1 may mean ________. A. active B. normal C. common D. terrible 37. Which of the following isn’t Winter’s story according to the passage? A. Being caught. B. Being cut free. C. Making “WintersGel” D. Getting an artificial tail. 38. Which of the following can be put in ★ ? A. it was so easy to let the fish swim again B. it was very important to help the fish swim C. the fish was really bringing them some trouble D. the months of hard work had been truly worth it 39.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了Jim Savage在捕鱼时，救了一只失去尾巴的海豚Winter，后来Winter安装了假尾巴，再次用尾巴游泳的故事，并且在2011年，这个故事被拍成了电影《海豚故事》。 【36题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“She was taken to Clear water Marine Aquarium, but her injuries were so severe that she lost her tail.”可知，海豚的伤势非常严重，以至于失去了尾巴，单词“severe”指的是“严重的”，故选D。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The three-month-old had got her tail caught in the ropes of a used crab trap...He cut her free and got in touch with the government.”以及“Kevin and Dan told the staff at the aquarium that they would make an artificial (人造的) tail for Winter!”可知，文章没有提到制作“WintersGel”，故选C。 【38题详解】 推理判断题。根据“After seeing her swim with it for the first time, Kevin said that...”可知，此处应是说为了让海豚再次游泳所有的付出都是值得的，故选D。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据“There were a lot of challenges that Kevin and Dan had to deal with along the way”可知，他们的工作是很艰难的，故选B。 【40题详解】 最佳标题题。根据文章的理解可知，主要是介绍为了救一只失去尾巴的海豚，Kevin和Dan为海豚制造并安装假尾巴，让海豚重获游泳能力的故事，故选A。 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题 共40分） 五、词与短语填空（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，用方框中所给的单词或短语填空，使短文在结构、句义和逻辑上正确。（提示：方框中有两个单词或短语是多余的。） polluted / takes in / healthy / faster/ in danger / cut down/ risk Frogs are an environmental warning system.

Hearing the news, she decided to spend the rest of her life doing what she loved most—watching birds. She went off to some of the world’s most amazing natural places at once. Her trips were really hard. But Phoebe surprised her doctors and her family as she carried on travelling. Years came and went, she was still alive. Ten years later, the cancer came back. But as she continued with her trips, the cancer went away again. At the age of 61, she had seen 7,530 kinds of birds and was named “the world’s leading bird watcher.” Four years later, during a trip to Mexico, she set a new record when she found species number 8,000. In fact, at that time only 12 people around the world had seen more than 7,000kinds of birds! Phoebe’s interest in bird-watching started when she moved to Missouri. There she joined a group of people who were interested in birds, insects and plants. She became very worried about pollution and its influence on the environment. “We have to protect nature, or the future people won’t be able to watch these beautiful birds.” she said. Sadly, when she was 68, she died in a car accident on the island where she had stayed for two weeks and added another five to her list of over 8,400 species. Four years later, the American Birding Association made her memoirs (回忆录) available. Many people have enjoyed reading this moving book. It isn’t just a story about a bird watcher’s travels, but a touching one of how her hobby helped her to live much longer than expected. 31. Phoebe did the bird watching mainly to ________.

A. hobbies influence health B. family support is important C nature is the best doctor D. challenges are everywhere C Jim Savage was setting out for a day’s fishing off the Florida coast (海岸) when he heard the cries of a baby dolphin in trouble. The three-month-old had got her tail caught in the ropes of a used crab trap. Jim knew that if he left her, the dolphin would have little chance of living. He cut her free and got in touch with the government. She was taken to Clear water Marine Aquarium, but her injuries were so severe that she lost her tail. The aquarium staff named the baby dolphin Winter and she gradually learned how to swim again. Unluckily, because of the way she was moving in the water without her tail, she was in danger of developing a problem with her spine (脊椎). Kevin Carroll and Dan Strzempka, who ran a company making artificial limbs, heard about the problem and had a brilliant idea. Kevin and Dan told the staff at the aquarium that they would make an artificial (人造的) tail for Winter! There were a lot of challenges that Kevin and Dan had to deal with along the way, like trying to fit an artificial tail on a playful young dolphin that doesn’t want to stay still! It took over fifty prototypes (模型) and a year and a half before Winter finally got her new 30-inch tail. After seeing her swim with it for the first time, Kevin said that ★ . Making the tail was only half the story, though. For Winter to be able to swim properly, the artificial tail needed to be held in place without damaging her skin. Specialists came up with a soft material that firmly holds the skin and doesn’t hurt. Designed especially for Winter, this material was so successful that “WintersGel” is now being used to make artificial limbs more comfortable for people with false arms and legs all around the world. In 2011 the tale was made into a film, ‘Dolphin Tale”, starring Winter herself. It’s about a dolphin that would have died, but could live because a few people cared. 36. The underlined phrased “severe” in Para. 1 may mean ________. A. active B. normal C. common D. terrible 37. Which of the following isn’t Winter’s story according to the passage? A. Being caught. B. Being cut free. C. Making “WintersGel” D. Getting an artificial tail. 38. Which of the following can be put in ★ ? A. it was so easy to let the fish swim again B. it was very important to help the fish swim C. the fish was really bringing them some trouble D. the months of hard work had been truly worth it 39. Which of the, following words. can best describe Kevin and Dan’s work in paragraph 3? A. Dangerous. B. Difficult. C. Interesting. D. Imaginative. 40. What could be the best title for the text? A. A Tale Of A Tail. B. A Chance Together With A Dolphin. C. An Important Living Skill. D. A Lesson From A Dolphin. 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题 共40分） 五、词与短语填空（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，用方框中所给的单词或短语填空，使短文在结构、句义和逻辑上正确。（提示：方框中有两个单词或短语是多余的。） polluted / takes in / healthy / faster/ in danger / cut down/ risk Frogs are an environmental warning system.
