Cats have many heightened senses， but their sense of smell is quite impressive.They use their noses to assess their environment and look out for any signs of danger.They will sniff out specific areas before they choose a place to relax.However， another way the cats are able to distinguish between situations is by looking for familiar smells.Your cat will likely smell your face and store the smell in its memory and use it to recognize you in the future.That’s why most pet cats are able to tell immediately if their owners were around any other cats， which they don’t usually like.  Dogs are known for their impressive fetching habit， but cats take this behavior up a notch.Many cats will find random objects outside and bring them to their owners.This is a very old habit that’s been present in all kinds of predators (食肉动物).Cats bring gifts for their owners to show they love you.These adorable little hunters are just doing something that it’s been in their nature since the beginning of time.So just go along with it!  　　[语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了猫通过叫声、嗅觉和带回礼物来表达需求、评估环境和表示爱意。 24.What can be learned about cats’ meowing from the first paragraph? A.It’s a survival skill. B.It’s taught by mother cats. C.It’s hard to interpret. D.It’s getting louder with age. 答案：A 24 25 26 27 解析：推理判断题。 根据第一段内容可知，宠物猫通过不同类型的叫声来吸引注意力、寻找食物及寻求关爱等，第一段最后一句也提到了猫从一出生开始就通过喵叫吸引猫妈妈的注意力并获取食物。由此可知，猫的叫声是一种生存技能。故选A。 24 25 26 27 25.How does a pet cat assess different situations? A.By listening for sounds. B.By touching familiar objects. C.By checking on smells. D.By communicating with other cats. 答案：C 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段可知，宠物猫通过检查气味来评估不同情况。故选C。 24 25 26 27 26.Which best explains the phrase “take...up a notch” in paragraph 3? A.Perform appropriately.　　 B.Move faster. C.Act strangely. D.Do better. 答案：D 解析：词义猜测题。根据第三段画线词前半句“Dogs are known for their impressive fetching habit”和后句“Many cats will find random objects outside and bring them to their owners.”可知，狗以取回东西而闻名，但猫可以从外边找到东西带回来。因此，在这一行为上，猫的表现更上一层楼。短语take...up a notch是用来形容猫在带回东西这一行为上做得更好或更出色。故选D。 24 25 26 27 27.What is a suitable title for the text? A.Tips on Finding a Smart Cat B.Understanding Your Cat’s Behavior C.Have Fun with Your Cat D.How to Keep Your Cat Healthy 答案：B 解析：标题归纳题。文章介绍了猫通过喵叫、嗅觉以及给主人带回礼物等行为来表达需求、评估环境和表达爱意，这些都促使我们进一步了解猫的行为。由此可知，B项最适合作文章标题。 24 25 26 27 Part 1　词汇 (一)词汇识记 1. __________ adj.截然不同的 2. __________ n.庇护  3. __________ v.具有，拥有 4. __________ n.生物，动物  5. __________ v.理解，领会  distinct shelter possess creature interpret 6. __________ v.拉长  7. __________ adj.特定的 8. __________ vi.& vt.显示……的差别；使……有所不同；辨别 9. __________ adj.可爱的，讨人喜爱的 10. _____________ adv.恰当地 11.affect vt.感动；影响→__________ n.喜爱；爱；感情 stretch specific distinguish adorable appropriately affection (二)熟词生义(写出句中黑体词的词性和汉语意思) 1.That’s why most pet cats are able to tell immediately if their owners were around any other cats， which they don’t usually like.(tell 基本 义：v.告诉，讲述) ________________ 2.These adorable little hunters are just doing something that it’s been in their nature since the beginning of time.(nature基本义：n.自然；大自然) _________________ v.辨别，识别 n.天性，本性 16 (三)词块积累 1.rely on _______________ 2.scare away any dangerous animals _____________________ 3.be brought to life __________ 4.heightened sense _______________ 5.look out for any signs of danger _________________ 6.sniff out __________ 7.take this behavior up a notch _________________________ 8.go along with __________ 9.listen for sounds _____________ 10.check on smells __________ 依赖，依靠 把危险的动物吓跑 出生 敏锐的感官 提防危险的迹象 嗅出 把这种行为提高一个档次 接受 留心听声音 核实气味 17 (四)词汇精研 1 possess vt.(不用于进行时)拥有；具有；支配 ①Having been cheated，he lost all his ____________ (possess). possessions ②据我所知，他拥有一家大公司。 →As far as I know，he is __________________ a large company.(possession)  →As far as I know， a large company is ___________________ him.(possession)  →As far as I know， he __________ a large company.(possess) in possession of in the possession of possesses 18 •be possessed of拥有；具有(某种品质、能力等) •possession n.个人财产，私有物品；具有 in possession of占有；拥有；持有 in the possession of sb.为某人所有；在某人的控制下 have/take possession of拥有；占有 19 [点津]　in possession of表示主动，意为“拥有……；占有……”，主语通常为表示人的词汇；in the possession of表示被动，意为“被……占有”，主语通常为表示物的词汇。 ◎写作素材 He packed up his possessions slowly and deliberately.他慢慢地、小心翼翼地收拾好自己的物品。 20 ①Honestly speaking，I admire your _____________ (distinguish) achievements. ②As far as we all know，Rebacca has already distinguished __________ (she) as a great volleyball coach in the world. ③The Chinese nation is famous for its diligence and courage. →The Chinese nation is ____________ for its diligence and courage. 2 distinguish vi.& vt.辨别；显示……的差别；使……有所不同 distinguished herself distinguished 21 •distinguish between A and B 区分A和B distinguish...from...把……与……区分开来 distinguish oneself (as...)(作为……)出名 •distinguished adj.卓越的；著名的；杰出的 be distinguished for...因……而出名 be distinguished as...作为……而闻名 22 ◎写作素材 Reading good books can not only enrich our minds but also teach us to distinguish between right and wrong.阅读好书既能丰富我们的头脑又能教我们明辨是非。 Part 2　句型 长难句分析 That’s why most pet cats are able to tell immediately if their owners were around any other cats， which they don’t usually like.

The western half of the U.S.was full of grizzlies when Europeans came，with a rough number of 50，000 or more living alongside Native Americans.By the early 1970s，after centuries of cruel and continuous hunting by settlers，600 to 800 grizzlies remained on a mere 2 percent of their former range in the Northern Rockies.In 1975，grizzlies were listed under the Endangered Species Act.  Today，there are about 2，000 or more grizzly bears in the U.S.Their recovery has been so successful that the U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service has twice attempted to de-list grizzlies，which would loosen legal protections and allow them to be hunted.Both efforts were overturned due to lawsuits from conservation groups.For now，grizzlies remain listed. Obviously，if precautions (预防) aren’t taken，grizzlies can become troublesome， sometimes killing farm animals or walking through yards in search of food.If people remove food and attractants from their yards and campsites，grizzlies will typically pass by without trouble.Putting electric fencing around chicken houses and other farm animal quarters is also highly effective at getting grizzlies away.“Our hope is to have a clean，attractant-free place where bears can pass through without learning bad habits，” says James Jonkel，longtime biologist who manages bears in and around Missoula. 　　[语篇解读]　本文主要讲述了美国灰熊从多变少的发展过程，和在法律的保护下，灰熊的数量增长，并探讨了针对灰熊的应对保护方案。 32.How do Americans look at grizzlies? A.They cause mixed feelings in people. B.They should be kept in national parks. C.They are of high scientific value. D.They are a symbol of American culture. 答案：A 32 33 34 35 解析：细节理解题。根据第一段的“Grizzly bears...occupy a conflicted corner of the American psyche (灰熊在美国人心中占据了一个矛盾的角落)”和“we revere them even as they give us frightening dreams...their answer is often the same： a grizzly bear”可知，人们对灰熊既怕又爱。由此可知，人们对它们的感情很复杂，故A项正确。 32 33 34 35 33.What has helped the increase of the grizzly population? A.The European settlers’ behavior. B.The expansion of bears’ range. C.The protection by law since 1975. D.The support of Native Americans. 答案：C 32 33 34 35 解析：推理判断题。根据第三段的“In 1975，grizzlies were listed under the Endangered Species Act.(1975年，灰熊被列入美国的《濒危物种法案》中)”和第四段的“Today，there are about 2，000 or more grizzly bears in the U.S.(如今，美国大约有2 000或更多头灰熊)”可以推断，灰熊数量增长与1975年以来的法律保护息息相关，故C项正确。 32 33 34 35 34.What has stopped the U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service from de-listing grizzlies? A.The opposition of conservation groups. B.The successful comeback of grizzlies. C.The voice of the biologists. D.The local farmers’ advocates. 答案：A 32 33 34 35 解析：细节理解题。根据题干的“the U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service from de-listing grizzlies”可以迅速锁定第四段。根据第四段的“Both efforts were overturned due to lawsuits from conservation groups.(由于来自保护组织的诉讼，这两次尝试都被推翻了)”可知，动物保护组织的反对阻止了美国鱼类及野生动物管理局将灰熊从美国的《濒危物种法案》中除名，故A项正确。 32 33 34 35 35.What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A.Food should be provided for grizzlies. B.People can live in harmony with grizzlies. C.A special path should be built for grizzlies. D.Technology can be introduced to protect grizzlies. 答案：B 32 33 34 35 解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，如果人们把食物和引诱剂从他们的院子和营地拿走，灰熊经过时通常会平安无事。在鸡舍和其他农场动物住所周围安装电围栏对赶走灰熊也非常有效。由此可以推断，人类可以和灰熊和谐共处，故B项正确。 32 33 34 35 Part 1　词汇 (一)词汇识记 1. __________ adj.心里矛盾的，内心冲突的 2. __________ v.扩大；扩展(业务) 3. _____________ adv.越来越多地；不断增加地 4. __________ adj.粗糙的；粗略的；大致的 5. __________ v.再占领(建筑、地区等) conflicted expand increasingly rough re-occupy 6. __________ v.把……从清单中删除 7. __________ v.推翻，撤销(判决等)；倾倒；倾覆 8. _____________ n.保护；保持；文物保护 9. ____________ adj.令人烦恼的；讨厌的；令人痛苦的 10.fright n.受惊，害怕→__________ v.使害怕，使受惊→__________ adj.受惊的，害怕的→___________ adj.令人害怕的 11.mere adj.仅仅的；只不过→__________ adv.仅仅；只不过 de-list overturn conservation troublesome frighten frightened frightening merely 12.loosen v.放宽(限制、法律等)→_________ adj.宽松的；疏松的； 未固定的→__________ adv.不严谨地 13.attract v.吸引；使喜爱；引起……的好感→__________ n.(对动物等的)诱食剂，引诱剂→__________ adj.吸引人的；有吸引力的 →__________ n.有吸引力的事物；吸引力 loose loosely attractant attractive attraction 40 (二)熟词生义(写出句中黑体词的词性和汉语意思) Putting electric fencing around chicken houses and other farm animal quarters is also highly effective at getting grizzlies away.(quarter基本义：n.四等份之一) __________ n.住所 41 (三)词块积累 1.flood into Yellowstone National Park ________________ 2.for now ______________ 3.be effective at __________________ 涌入黄石公园 目前，现在 在……方面有效 (四)词汇精研 1 attract vt.吸引；使喜爱；招引 ①What attracted me most _________ the job was the chance to travel. ②The television has little __________ (attract) for me. ③Your proposal sounds very __________ (attract). ④突然，水的声音引起了我们的注意。我突然想到我们可以沿着小溪找到回去的路。 Suddenly，____________________________________.It hit me that we could find the way back along the stream.  to attraction attractive the sound of water attracted our attention 43 •attract sb.to...吸引某人关注某事 attract one’s attention 吸引某人的注意力 •attraction n.吸引(力)；有吸引力的事物 a tourist attraction旅游胜地 •attractive adj.吸引人的；迷人的，有魅力的 be attractive to对……有吸引力 44 ◎写作素材 attract the attention of the waiter引起服务员的注意 attract a lot of visitors to the theme park 吸引很多游客到这个主题 公园 45 ①They frightened the old lady into __________ (sign) the paper. ②Don’t be __________ (frighten) of making mistakes when you speak English. ③Then we heard a ____________ (frighten) sound after a bright flash of lightning. ④她担心玻璃会破碎。 →_____________________ the glass would break.(frightened)  →__________________ the glass would break.(afraid)  2 frightened adj.受惊的，害怕的 signing frightened frightening She was frightened that She was afraid that 46 •frighten v.使惊恐，使害怕 frighten sb.into/out of doing sth.吓得某人做/不做某事 •be frightened of (doing) sth.害怕(做)某事 be frightened at...(听到……)吓了一跳 •frightening adj.令人惊恐的；骇人的 fright n.害怕；惊恐 47 ◎写作素材 be frightened to death 被吓死 be frightened of walking home alone in the darkness害怕在黑夜单独走着回家 Part 2　句型 长难句分析 By the early 1970s，after centuries of cruel and continuous hunting by settlers，600 to 800 grizzlies remained on a mere 2 percent of their former range in the Northern Rockies.

In 1934， with the passage of the Migratory Bird Hunting Stamp Act (Act)， an increasingly concerned nation took firm action to stop the destruction of migratory (迁徙的) waterfowl and the wetlands so vital to their survival.Under this Act， all waterfowl hunters 16 years of age and over must annually purchase and carry a Federal Duck Stamp.The very first Federal Duck Stamp was designed by J.N.“Ding” Darling， a political cartoonist from Des Moines， Iowa， who at that time was appointed by President Franklin Roosevelt as Director of the Bureau of Biological Survey.Hunters willingly pay the stamp price to ensure the survival of our natural resources. About 98 cents of every duck stamp dollar goes directly into the Migratory Bird Conservation Fund to purchase wetlands and wildlife habitat for inclusion into the National Wildlife Refuge System—a fact that ensures this land will be protected and available for all generations to come.Since 1934， better than half a billion dollars has gone into that Fund to purchase more than 5 million acres of habitat.Little wonder the Federal Duck Stamp Program has been called one of the most successful conservation programs ever initiated.  　　[语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。美国为了保护“水禽”而颁布了一项政策，即狩猎者要购买相关的水禽类邮票。政府把售卖所得作为保护这些水禽的基金。 28.What was a cause of the waterfowl population decline in North America? A.Loss of wetlands. B.Popularity of water sports. C.Pollution of rivers. D.Arrival of other wild animals. 答案：A 28 29 30 31 解析：细节理解题。由题干中的关键词 waterfowl population decline in North America定位到文章首段。根据该段中“Millions of acres of wetlands were dried to feed and house the ever-increasing populations， greatly reducing waterfowl habitat.(数百万英亩的湿地被抽干，以养活不断增加的人口和为他们提供居住地，这大大减少了水禽的栖息地)”可知，造成北美水禽数量急剧减少的原因之一是它们栖息地的减少。故选A。 28 29 30 31 29.What does the underlined word “decimate” mean in the first paragraph? A.Acquire.　　　　 B.Export. C.Destroy. D.Distribute. 答案：C 28 29 30 31 解析：词义猜测题。文章前两句说，当探险家们第一次踏上北美洲大陆时，天上和地上有许多各种各样的野生动物。美洲土著人很聪明地保护了这些宝贵的自然资源。第三句中的 unfortunately表示转折意义，由此推断，画线单词所在句意为“不幸的是，仅仅几十年后，探险家和定居者就毁灭了大部分资源”也就是说，画线单词decimate意为“破坏；毁灭(destroy)”。故选C。 28 29 30 31 30.What is a direct result of the Act passed in 1934? A.The stamp price has gone down. B.The migratory birds have flown away. C.The hunters have stopped hunting. D.The government has collected money. 答案：D 28 29 30 31 解析：推理判断题。由题干中的关键词 the Act passed in 1934 定位到文章第三段。根据该段可知，每枚鸭子邮票上的 98 美分将直接投入候鸟保护基金，用于购买湿地和野生动物栖息地，以便纳入国家野生动物保护系统——这一事实确保了这片土地将受到保护，并为子孙后代提供可用资源。自1934年以来，超过5亿美元流入该基金购买了超过500万英亩的栖息地。由此可知，这项法案的通过使得政府筹集到了大量资金，用以保护水禽和它们的栖息地。故选D。 28 29 30 31 31.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A.The Federal Duck Stamp Story B.The National Wildlife Refuge System C.The Benefits of Saving Waterfowl D.The History of Migratory Bird Hunting 答案：A 28 29 30 31 解析：标题归纳题。本文主要讲述的是美国鸭票的故事(The Federal Duck Stamp Story)，全文都是围绕着这个主旨展开的。首段介绍了美国鸭票发行的背景；第二段介绍了美国鸭票发行的经过；第三段讲述了美国鸭票发行带来的种种好处。最后一句更是点明主题。由此可知，选项A最能概括全文主旨。故选A。 28 29 30 31 Part 1　词汇 (一)词汇识记 1. __________ n.大陆；洲 2. ____________ n.破坏；毁灭；摧毁 3. __________ v.确保；保证；担保 4. __________ adj.可获得的；有空的；可购得的；可找到的 5. __________ vt.开始；发起 6.annual adj.每年的→__________ adv.一年一次地 7.include v.包括，包含→ __________ n.包含 continent destruction ensure available initiate annually inclusion (二)熟词生义(写出句中黑体词的词性和汉语意思) 1.Millions of acres of wetlands were dried to feed and house the ever- increasing populations，greatly reducing waterfowl habitat.(house基本 义：n.房子) ___________________ 2.In 1934，with the passage of the Migratory Bird Hunting Stamp Act (Act)，an increasingly concerned nation took firm action to stop the destruction of migratory waterfowl and the wetlands so vital to their survival.(passage基本义：n.通道；段落) __________ v.安置，容纳 n.通过 (三)词块积累 1.set foot upon the continent of North America __________________ 2.be alive with an astonishing variety of wildlife ___________________________ 3.a handful of overly ambitious sportsmen ______________________ 4.be killed at the hands of market hunters __________________ 5.take firm action ___________________ 6.be appointed as __________ 7.little/no wonder __________ 踏上北美这块大陆 充满各种各样的野生动物 少数野心勃勃的运动员 被市场猎人杀害 采取强有力的行动 被任命为 难怪 64 Part 2　句型 长难句分析 About 98 cents of every duck stamp dollar goes directly into the Migratory Bird Conservation Fund to purchase wetlands and wildlife habitat for inclusion into the National Wildlife Refuge System—a fact that ensures this land will be protected and available for all generations to come. 65 [结构分析]　to purchase wetlands and wildlife habitat for inclusion into the National Wildlife Refuge System是不定式作目的状语； that ensures this land will be protected and available for all generations to come是a fact的定语从句；to come是不定式作定语。 [尝试翻译]　_______________________________________________ __________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________ 每枚鸭邮票1美元中约有98美分直接进入候鸟保护基 金，用于购买湿地和野生动物栖息地，以纳入国家野生动物保护区 系统——这一事实确保了这片土地将得到保护，可供子孙后代使用。 Passage 2　阅读理解(2021·全国甲卷·B) 　　Port Lympne Reserve， which runs a breeding (繁育) programme， has welcomed the arrival of a rare black rhino calf (犀牛幼崽).When the tiny creature arrived on January 31， she became the 40th black rhino to be born at the reserve.And officials at Port Lympne were delighted with the new arrival， especially as black rhinos are known for being difficult to breed in captivity (圈养). Paul Beer， head of rhino section at Port Lympne， said：“Obviously we’re all absolutely delighted to welcome another calf to our black rhino family.She’s healthy， strong and already eager to play and explore.Her mother， Solio， is a first-time mum and she is doing a fantastic job.It’s still a little too cold for them to go out into the open， but as soon as the weather warms up， I have no doubt that the little one will be out and about exploring and playing every day.”   The adorable female calf is the second black rhino born this year at the reserve， but it is too early to tell if the calves will make good candidates to be returned to protected areas of the wild. The first rhino to be born at Port Lympne arrived on January 5 to first-time mother Kisima and weighed about 32 kg. His mother， grandmother and great grandmother were all born at the reserve and still live there.  According to the World Wildlife Fund， the global black rhino population has dropped as low as 5，500， giving the rhinos a “critically endangered” status. 　　[语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在林姆尼港保护区的部分黑犀牛现状。 24.Which of the following best describes the breeding programme?

　　(2024·山东济南高三期末)In the animal world， speed is king.Fast animals have a leg up in outrunning other animals， which puts them high on the food chain.It would seem that all animals would go for speed， but then there’s the sloth (树懒).While a lion can go from 0 to 60 miles an hour in only five seconds， it takes a sloth all day to cover no more than 50 meters. Sloths live entirely in trees on a diet of leaves.And for this， they are extremely rare.While most of the land world is covered by trees， there are very few vertebrates (脊椎动物) that call the tree home.The aim of a 2016 study， says Jonathan Pauli， professor of forest and wildlife ecology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison， was to help uncover why sloths are indeed so unique.“Among vertebrates， this is the rarest of lifestyles，” says Pauli.“When you picture animals that live off plant leaves， they are almost all big—things like deer.What’s super interesting about sloths is that they can’t be big.” For their research， Pauli and his Wisconsin team studied wild sloths at a field site.When the researchers measured the energy use of sloths， they found a wildly low burning of as little as 110 calories of energy a day.And for this， they take the cake：it is the lowest measured energetic output for any mammal (哺乳动物).  “The measurement was intended to find out what it cost sloths to live over a day，” says Pauli， who adds that a diet of little but leaves lacks nutritional value and that the animal’s small size doesn’t allow for overeating—so sloths need to find ways to make the most of their diets， which means using tiny amounts of energy， dramatic control of body temperature and living at an extremely slow pace. Their reward? A wonderfully widespread ecological system to call their own， one slow inch at a time. 　　[语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。在速度为王的动物界，似乎所有的动物都在追求速度，但树懒除外，它拥有独特的生活方式。Pauli和他的团队对此进行了研究。 1.Why is a lion mentioned in paragraph 1?(　　) A.To admire lions’ speed. B.To state sloths’ weakness. C.To confirm lions’ lead position. D.To highlight sloths’ uniqueness. 1 2 3 4 D 解析：推理判断题。 第一段提到狮子主要是在速度方面和树懒进行对比。再根据第二段中的“The aim of a 2016 study...was to help uncover why sloths are indeed so unique.”可知，文章主要揭示树懒的独特性，所以第一段提到狮子是为了用明显的对比引出文章主题，即树懒的独特性，故选D项。 1 2 3 4 2.What is the 2016 study mainly about?(　　) A.The lifestyle of sloths. B.The diet of vertebrates. C.The species of rare animals. D.The energy use of creatures. 1 2 3 4 A 解析：细节理解题。 根据第二段中的“The aim of a 2016 study...was to help uncover why sloths are indeed so unique.”可知，2016年的研究的目的是揭示树懒的独特性；再根据第二段中的“Among vertebrates， this is the rarest of lifestyles”可知，A项“树懒的生活方式”正确。 1 2 3 4 3.What does the underlined part “take the cake” in paragraph 3 probably mean?(　　) A.Break down.　　　 B.Keep on. C.Stand out. D.Grow up. 1 2 3 4 C 解析：词义猜测题。根据画线短语前的“When the researchers... they found a wildly low burning of as little as 110 calories of energy a day.”和画线短语后的“it is the lowest measured energetic output for any mammal”可知，当研究人员测量树懒的能量消耗时，他们发现树懒每天消耗的能量极低，只有110卡路里，这是所有哺乳动物测得的最低能量输出。所以这一特点使得树懒很显眼。故画线短语与C项“突出，显眼，引人注目”的意思最为接近。 1 2 3 4 4.What can be inferred about sloths from Pauli’s words?(　　) A.Their slow pace is a balanced choice. B.They are faced with possible extinction. C.Their slow pace decides a tiny appetite. D.They suffer a lot against natural enemies. 1 2 3 4 A 解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中的“a diet of little but leaves...living at an extremely slow pace”可知，树懒几乎只吃树叶的饮食缺乏营养价值，而且树懒的体型小，也不能吃得过多，所以树懒需要找到充分利用饮食的方法，这意味着使用少量的能量，极大地控制体温，并以非常缓慢的速度生活，故选A项。 1 2 3 4 B 　　(2024·山东潍坊统考)I don’t remember when my love of the protected Great Bear Rainforest began—it’s something that’s always been there，even though I haven’t spent longer than a month there in one go.I grew up in a small village by the sea and planned to study marine biology and live out on the water.Unfortunately，or perhaps fortunately，my lack of scientific talent quickly put paid to that idea，but the love of nature remained and has been an anchor (精神支柱) in my life and in my writing.  The Great Bear Rainforest is not only vast，splendid and wild but also friendly，fun and diverse.I travelled there by myself at the age of 20，planning to spend my 21st birthday camping and hiking in the forests. I woke up on my birthday in a tent on the edge of the water.Behind me，the trees of this largely untouched wilderness emerged.Endless carpets of pointed trees reached right down to a thin rocky shore.It seemed there was no way in.This wilderness held its secrets close. Stepping from the beach into the forest，I immediately sensed the history of the area—it felt ancient，and it was impossible not to be humbled. With a guide for safety，I hiked a few miles through the wilderness.The sounds of the forest were everywhere.Birds sang.Insects buzzed.Something bigger moved through the undergrowth and my guide stopped dead and listened.My heart was in my mouth.Then，after some invisible signal，my guide relaxed，and we went on. We continued the hike and emerged onto a cliff with the most breathtaking view I’ve ever seen.I was from terror to wonder in only a few hundred steps.It was that sense of unsettled ground—of shifting emotion，secrets and awe，beauty and fear—that’s fed my writing across four books，none more so than Children of the Sun，and instilled in me a lifelong love of the wild. 　　[语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者21岁生日时去大熊雨林旅行的经历，并表达了作者对大自然的热爱。 5.What does the underlined phrase “put paid to” in paragraph 1 mean?(　　) A.Stimulated.　　　　 B.Ended. C.Supported. D.Proved. 5 6 7 8 B 解析：词义猜测题。根据画线部分前的“my lack of scientific talent quickly”以及其后的“but the love of nature remained and has been an anchor in my life and in my writing (但对大自然的热爱仍然存在，并一直是我生活和写作的精神支柱)”可推测，此处指的是由于缺乏科学天赋作者很快结束了那种想法，故选B。stimulate“激发，促进”。 5 6 7 8 6.What does “it was impossible not to be humbled” convey in paragraph 3?(　　) A.I was awed by the powerful nature. B.I became modest after my 21st birthday. C.I was attracted by the history of the area. D.I got curious about the secrets of the forest. 5 6 7 8 A 解析：句意理解题。 根据第三段的描述可知，作者认为，这片荒野封闭着它的秘密，似乎让人没有办法进去。从海滩走进森林，作者立刻感受到这个地区的历史——它给人一种古老的感觉；再结合文章最后一段谈到的“正是这种不安的感觉——不断变化的情感、秘密与敬畏、美丽与恐惧”可推知，题干问的那句话表达的意思是“我对大自然的强大感到敬畏”。故选A。 5 6 7 8 7.Which word can best describe the guide?(　　) A.Conservative. B.Considerate. C.Practiced. D.Indecisive. 5 6 7 8 C 解析：推理判断题。 根据第四段的描述“在有个更大的东西穿过灌木丛时，我的向导突然完全停了下来倾听”和“然后，在一些看不见的信号之后，我的向导放松了下来，我们继续前进”可推知，作者的向导很有经验。故选C。 136 8.What is the text mainly about?(　　) A.The passion for nature. B.The feature of 4 books. C.An unforgettable travel experience. D.A vivid description of mixed emotions. 5 6 7 8 A 解析：主旨大意题。 根据文章内容尤其是第一段最后一句中讲到的“但对大自然的热爱仍然存在，并一直是我生活和写作的精神支柱”可知，本文主要告诉读者作者对大自然的爱，故选A。本题易错选C项。部分考生根据第二段“The Great Bear Rainforest is not only vast，splendid...hiking in the forests.(大熊雨林不仅广阔、壮丽、野生，而且还友好、有趣和多样。我在20岁的时候独自去那里旅行，计划在我21岁生日的时候去露营，并在森林里徒步旅行)”认为本文主要讲述了作者21岁生日时去大熊雨林旅行的经历，而错选C项。其实这只是一种表面现象。根据第三段的描述可知，作者通过这次旅行经历，想要表达自己对大自然的敬畏和热爱，故选A项。

over a day，”says Pauli， who adds that a diet of little but leaves lacks nutritional value and that the animal’s small size doesn’t allow for overeating—so sloths need to find ways to make the most of their diets， which means using tiny amounts of energy， dramatic control of body temperature and living at an extremely slow pace.(Para.4) 长难句分析 分析：本句中what it...a day是宾语从句，作find out的宾语；who adds...allow for overeating是who引导的非限制性定语从句，修饰Pauli，该定语从句中又含有两个that引导的宾语从句；which means...是which引导的非限制性定语从句。 译文：“测量的目的是找出树懒一天的能量消耗，”泡利说。他补充说，几乎只吃树叶的饮食缺乏营养价值，而且这种动物的小体型不允许它吃得过多——所以树懒需要找到方法来充分利用它们的饮食，这意味着使用少量的能量，极大地控制体温，并以极慢的速度生活。 B篇 核心单词 Para.1：protected adj.受保护的 Para.2：splendid adj.壮丽的；雄伟的 Para.3：emerge
