—______ I've tried three times and still can't solve it.
A. You name it! B. You said it!
C. Tell me about it! D. Forget it!
【答案】
1. 答案:D
解析:“create a friendly relationship”表示“建立一种友好的关系”。“break”(打破)、“connect”(连接,常与to/with搭配)、“express”(表达)均不符合“建立人与野生动物友好关系”的语境,所以选D。
2. 答案:D
解析:“while”在此处表示对比,意为“然而”,符合“他对画画感兴趣,然而他妹妹喜欢唱歌”的对比语境。“when”(当……时)、“as”(当……时;因为)、“after”(在……之后)无对比含义,所以选D。
3. 答案:C
解析:“lead to”意为“导致”,符合“不均衡的饮食会导致一些健康问题”的语境。“work out”(解决;锻炼)、“deal with”(处理)、“write down”(写下)均不符合,所以选C。
4. 答案:A
解析:“set up”表示“建立,设立”,符合“去英国建立新公司”的语境。“end up”(最终成为;最后处于)、“put up”(张贴;搭建)、“pick up”(捡起;接载)均不符合,所以选A。
5. 答案:C
解析:“Tell me about it!”用于回应别人说的事,表达自己有同感,符合“这道数学题超级难!——可不是嘛!我试了三次还没解出来”的语境。“You name it!”(凡是你能说得出的)、“You said it!”(你说得对)、“Forget it!”(算了吧)均不符合,所以选C。

【分析】这篇短文主要讲述了环境保护相关的内容,涉及目前面临的问题以及解决这些问题的方法。
【解答】(1)形容词辨析。A.few少的;B.little少的;C.some一些的;D.many许多的。根据后半句and natural resources seemed to be unlimited.(自然资源似乎是无限的。)可推知,前文应表示"人少",people为可数名词,因此空处应为few。故选A。
(2)形容词辨析。A.the same相同的;B.different不同的;C.better更好的;D.good好的。根据下文The world has become too crowded.(世界变得太拥挤了。)可知,前文应表示"现在的情况不同了"。故选B。
(3)动词辨析。A.pollute污染;B.destroy破坏;C.making制作;D.polluting污染。句中and为并列连词,结合宾语our environment,可确定谓语动词为pollute,根据前文We are using up our natural resources(我们正在耗尽我们的自然资源)可知,and后并列结构应使用polluting。故选D。
(4)动词辨析。A.go on继续;B.keep保持;C.continue继续;D.still仍然。根据主句human life on earth will not survive(地球上的人类将无法生存)可推知,if引导的条件状语从句表示"如果我们继续这么做",因此空处应为continue,continue to do表示"继续做……"。故选C。
(5)动词辨析。A.leaving留下;B.taken from拿走;C.left留下;D.taking from拿走。根据下文Yet,with modern fishing methods,more and more fish are caught.(然而,随着现代捕鱼方法的使用,越来越多的鱼被捕获。)可推知,前文表示"如果从海里捕了太多的鱼,很快就会没有鱼了",句中fish作主语,句子为被动语态,结构为be done。故选B。
(6)代词辨析。A.little少许;B.not不;C.neither(两者)无一个;D.none全无。根据下文Yet,with modern fishing methods,more and more fish are caught.(然而,随着现代捕鱼方法的使用,越来越多的鱼被捕获。)可推知,前文表示"如果从海里捕了太多的鱼,很快就会没有鱼了",因此空处应为none。故选D。
(7)动词辨析。A.disappear消失;B.gone走;C.lose丢失;D.missing错过。根据前文中的条件状语从句if too many trees are cut down(如果砍伐太多的树)可知,主句应表示"森林会消失"。故选A。
(8)形容词辨析。A.good好的;B.powerful强大的;C.nice好的;D.excellent精彩的。分析句子,可知空处在句中作定语,修饰名词machines,应用powerful,表示"强大的机器"。故选B。
(9)名词辨析。A.things东西;B.products产品;C.water水;D.air空气。根据下文Yet,waste products are still put into rivers(然而,废物仍然被排放到河里。)可推知,前文应为waste products,表示"废弃物"。故选B。
(10)介词辨析。A.in在……里;B.to往……;C.on在……上;D.at在……。分析句子,可知这里为介宾结构,结合宾语the present rate,可知空处应为介词at,表示"以目前的速度"。故选D。
(11)介词辨析。A.after在……之后;B.later后来;C.in在……里;D.before在……之前。分析句子,可知空处应为in,in a few years表示"几年后"。故选C。
(12)动词辨析。A.has有(第三人称单数);B.is是(第三人称单数);C.have有(动词原形);D.be是(动词原形)。分析句子,可知本句为there be句型,在won't后应为动词原形,表示"将没有足够的食物"。故选D。
(13)动词辨析。A.solve解决(动词原形);B.answer回答(动词原形);C.to solve解决(不定式);D.to answer回答(不定式)。分析句子,可知空处为谓语动词,结合宾语these problems,可确定为solve,这里应使用不定式,表示目的。故选C。
(14)副词辨析。A.more更多;B.soon很快地;C.longer更久地;D.long长久地。根据条件状语从句if we learn to recycle them(如果我们学会回收它们)可知,主句应表示"我们的自然资源将持续更长时间"。故选C。
(15)连词辨析。A.if如果;B.that(无意义);C.even though尽管;D.unless除非。分析句子,可知本句包含两个小分句,The world population will not rise so quickly(世界人口不会增长这么快)为主句,people use modern methods of birth control(人们使用现代方法控制人口)为条件状语从句,因此空处应为if。故选A。
Part 1: Read and Explore
As we all know, climate (气候)change has greatly influenced the birds' living environment. Take Poyang
Lake as an example, as an important habitat(栖息地)for the seriously endangered birds, Poyang Lake has experienced usual rises and falls in recent years.
"In some years, the lake experiences floods (洪水), while in others it experiences a shortage of rain. Both of these situations lead to less food in the birds' habitat." Qian Fawen, a leader from the National Bird Center of China told China Daily.
To solve such habitat problems, China has named 1,140 places these years as important living and wintering places in wetlands(湿地).To protect China's wetlands, a law was also made in 2022 to control human activities. According to the law, people can't overuse the wetlands. What's more, they can't pour(倒)waste water into the wetlands.
Since these methods have worked well, more birds have been seen wintering in the nation's wetlands. In February, Hunan Province reported that 72 kinds of water birds had spent the past winter at Dongting Lake, and that the number of one endangered kind of birds had increased from300 in the 1980s to more than 5,000 at present. All of these cases show a better future.
Part 2: Skills Challenge
Task 1: Understand the Story (基础理解)
1. How many places has China named as important living and wintering places in wetlands these years?
A. 1,140
B. 72
C. 5,000
D. 300
2. When was the law to protect China's wetlands made? (Choose ONE)
A. In the 1980s
B. In 2022
C. In February
D. Not mentioned in the passage
Task 2: In - depth Comprehension (深层理解)
3. Why do floods and rain shortage in Poyang Lake affect the birds?
A. Because they destroy the birds' nests
B. Because they lead to less food in the birds' habitat
C. Because they make the birds move to other countries
D. Because they reduce the number of wetlands
4. What can we know from the example of the endangered birds in Dongting Lake?
A. The number of the endangered birds has decreased a lot
B. The methods to protect wetlands have worked well
C. Dongting Lake is not a good wintering place for birds
D. There are only 72 kinds of water birds in Dongting Lake
Task 3: Express Your Thoughts (表达观点)
5. What else do you think we can do to protect the birds' habitat besides the methods mentioned in the passage? Use your own thoughts to answer.
【答案】
Task 1: Understand the Story (基础理解)
1. 答案:A
解析:根据原文第三段第一句“China has named 1,140 places these years as important living and wintering places in wetlands”,可直接得出答案为1140个,对应选项A。
2. 答案:B
解析:原文第三段明确提到“To protect China's wetlands,a law was also made in 2022 to control human activities”,说明保护湿地的法律制定于2022年,对应选项B。
Task 2: In-depth Comprehension (深层理解)
3. 答案:B
解析:原文第二段指出“Both of these situations(洪水和少雨)lead to less food in the birds' habitat”,即两种情况均导致鸟类栖息地食物减少,这是影响鸟类的核心原因,对应选项B。
4. 答案:B
解析:原文第四段开头提到“Since these methods have worked well,more birds have been seen wintering in the nation's wetlands”,随后用洞庭湖濒危鸟类数量从20世纪80年代的300只增至如今5000多只的例子佐证,说明湿地保护措施效果显著,对应选项B。
Task 3: Express Your Thoughts (表达观点)
参考示例:
First, we can carry out publicity activities in communities and schools to let more people know the importance of protecting birds' habitats, so as to reduce human damage to wetlands. Second, we can set up monitoring stations near wetlands to timely find and solve problems such as illegal hunting or pollution that may harm birds. Third, we can work with environmental protection organizations to plant more plants suitable for birds in wetlands, providing them with more food and shelter.

Part 1: Read and Explore
As we all know, climate (气候)change has greatly influenced the birds' living environment. Take Poyang
Lake as an example, as an important habitat(栖息地)for the seriously endangered birds, Poyang Lake has experienced usual rises and falls in recent years.
"In some years, the lake experiences floods (洪水), while in others it experiences a shortage of rain. Both of these situations lead to less food in the birds' habitat." Qian Fawen, a leader from the National Bird Center of China told China Daily.
To solve such habitat problems, China has named 1,140 places these years as important living and wintering places in wetlands(湿地).To protect China's wetlands, a law was also made in 2022 to control human activities. According to the law, people can't overuse the wetlands. What's more, they can't pour(倒)waste water into the wetlands.
Since these methods have worked well, more birds have been seen wintering in the nation's wetlands. In February, Hunan Province reported that 72 kinds of water birds had spent the past winter at Dongting Lake, and that the number of one endangered kind of birds had increased from300 in the 1980s to more than 5,000 at present. All of these cases show a better future.
