Section Ⅲ　Using language [课时跟踪检测] Ⅰ.阅读理解 To humans, roads mean connection and escape; to other life-forms, they spell death and division.A half-century ago, just 3 percent of land animals met their end on a road; by 2017 the number had greatly doubled. Considering the outsize effects of roads, it's perhaps surprising that they didn't truly receive their scientific due until the late 20th century.In 1993, Richard Forman, a landscape ecologist, coined an English term“road ecology”， defined loosely as the study of “how life changes for plants and animals with a road and traffic nearby”. As the 1990s wore on, road ecology gained steam. Like most people, I cherish animals and think nothing of piloting a 3,000-pound death machine.One summer, in Alaska, I hit a songbird — a death I didn't discover until I found the delicate splash of feathers the next day.I'd killed it unconsciously.But I could do nothing. Road ecology offers one path through this thicket (灌木丛)．North America and Europe constructed their road networks with little regard for how they would affect nature.Today, in theory, we know better.Road ecology has revealed the danger of thoughtless development and pointed us toward solutions.Over the last several decades, its practitioners have constructed bridges for bears, tunnels (隧道) for turtles.In Kenya, elephants move slowly beneath highways and railroads via passages as tall as two-story houses. And road ecology has yielded more than crossings：We've also learned to map and protect the migrations of certain animals, to design roadsides that nourish bees and butterflies — proof that old mistakes need not be permanent. Today we're entering a period that might fairly be considered the golden age of road ecology.The coming years will undoubtedly be transformative ones for our road network.Still, whether we can ever truly undo the harms of our concrete-coated world is far less certain. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人们开始重视道路生态，有意识地去避免动物遭遇交通事故。 1．What may be the reason for the doubled death number by 2017? A．Road noises. B．Traffic accidents. C．Natural disasters. D．Hunting activities. 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“A half-century ago, just 3 percent of land animals met their end on a road; by 2017 the number had greatly doubled.”可知，2017年该死亡数目翻倍的原因是交通事故。 2．What did the author want to tell us by the experience in Alaska in paragraph 3? A．Songbirds were common in that area. B．The songbird's death was undervalued. C．Driving a car was necessary for his job. D．He was much troubled by the songbird. 解析：选B　推理判断题。根据第三段首句中的“Like most people, ...think nothing of ...”及倒数第二句“ I'd killed it unconsciously.”可推知，作者想通过这段在阿拉斯加的经历告诉我们：人们对鸟类会死于交通事故认识不足。 3．Which best describes the impact of road ecology? A．Far-reaching.　　 B．One-sided. C．Short-lived. 　 D．Unnoticeable. 解析：选A　推理判断题。根据倒数第三段的最后两句和倒数第二段可知，道路生态学促使人们为保护动物做出了一些改变。由此可推知，道路生态学所带来的影响是深远的。 4．What is the most suitable title for the text? A．How Roads Have Transformed the Natural World B．What Measures Should Be Taken to ProtectAnimals C．How Road Ecology Will Change the Future World D．What Difficulties Humans Face in Road Construction 解析：选A　标题归纳题。通读全文可知，文章先讲了过去道路对动物存在的潜在威胁，然后提到人们开始重视道路生态，以及人们为了保护动物在道路规划上做出的改变及其产生的影响，故A项“道路是如何改变自然界的”适合作文章标题。 Ⅱ.完形填空 It was a bright May afternoon along the coast.Bauer and his 13-year-old daughter, Ava, were taking __5__ of it.They were driving with the windows down as they headed home on a narrow bridge.Suddenly, the calm was __6__ by the squeal (摩擦声) of tires.
