[语篇解读] 从20世纪80年代开始,人们才开始使用现代的方法保护北极熊种群。生物学家计算出全世界大约有20 000~25 000只北极熊。北极熊的数量正在下降。
1.that [考查名词性从句。本句含有一个同位语从句,解释了名词evidence“证据”的具体内容,空处在从句中不充当成分,也无意义,故本空填连接代词that。]
2.poorly [考查副词。应用副词poorly修饰动词studied。]
3.of/for [考查介词。名词method后接介词of/for,表示“……的方法”。]
4.to perform [考查非谓语动词。本句含有“主语+be+adj.+不定式”结构,主语通常是不定式动作的承受者,不定式用主动形式表示被动含义。]
5.have reported [考查动词的时态和主谓一致。句中的时间状语In recent years多与现在完成时连用,主语some Inuit people为复数意义,因此本空填have reported。]
6.belief [考查名词。根据空前的a可知,短语leading to后接的是名词,作宾语,故本空填belief。]
7.noting [考查非谓语动词。在介词by后,应用动名词作宾语,故本空填noting。]
8.higher [考查形容词比较级。根据空后的连词than可知,本句表示比较意义,因此本空应填higher。]
9.the [考查冠词。Of the nineteen recognized polar bear subpopulations“在这19个已知的北极熊亚种群当中”,本空应填定冠词the,表示特指。]
10.are [考查动词的时态和主谓一致。本句其他谓语用了一般现在时,本句的主语six指代six polar bear subpopulations,表示复数意义,故本空应填谓语动词are。]

It was summer,and my dad wanted to treat me to a vacation like never before.He decided to take me on a trip to the Wild West.
We took a plane to Albuquerque,a big city in the state of New Mexico.We reached Albuquerque in the late afternoon.Uncle Paul,my dad's friend,picked us up from the airport and drove us up to his farm in Pecos.
His wife Tina cooked us a delicious dinner and we got to know his sons Ryan and Kyle.My dad and I spent the night in the guestroom of the farm house listening to the frogs and water rolling down the river nearby.Very early in the morning,Uncle Paul woke us up to have breakfast.“The day starts at dawn on my farm,” he said.After breakfast,I went to help Aunt Tina feed the chickens,while my dad went with Uncle Paul to take the sheep out to graze(吃草).I was impressed to see my dad and Uncle Paul riding horses.They looked really cool.
In the afternoon,I asked Uncle Paul if I could take a horse ride,and he said yes,as long as my dad went with me.I wasn't going to take a horse ride by myself anyway.So,my dad and I put on our new cowboy hats,got on our horses,and headed slowly towards the mountains.“Don't be late for supper,” Uncle Paul cried,“and keep to the track so that you don't get lost!”“OK!” my dad cried back.After a while Uncle Paul and his farm house were out of sight.It was so peaceful and quiet and the colors of the brown rocks,the deep green pine trees,and the late afternoon sun mixed to create a magic scene.It looked like a beautiful woven(编织的) blanket spread out upon the ground just for us.
Paragraph 1:
Suddenly a little rabbit jumped out in front of my horse.
Paragraph 2:
We had no idea where we were and it got dark.
[参考范文]
Paragraph 1:
Suddenly a little rabbit jumped out in front of my horse.Seeing this,I was surprised.Meanwhile,my horse got frightened,jumped up,and ran around wildly.I held the rope tightly in case I might fall off.My dad was chasing after me,keeping me in sight.Some time later,my horse stopped,panting,and I woke up from panic.Looking around,I saw my father right behind me.
Paragraph 2:
We had no idea where we were and it got dark.We couldn't get back along the original track.We immediately thought of the police.My father telephoned the police station,but it couldn't get through.It was so far away that there was no signal.Just then,Uncle Paul came riding with a group of people.He laughed with joy when he saw us safe.He said he had installed a satellite positioning system under my horse's belly.Through it,he knew that we had got lost and where we were.
