The Tour de France (环法自行车赛) is the world’s most famous and hardest cycling race. It takes place every year and l 23 for a total of three weeks, covering 3,500 kilometres.
During the late 19th century, cycling became a popular h 24 for many people. A 25 time went on, organized bike races were introduced and professional (专业的) cycling became very popular in France. Sports newspapers began reporting on cycling stories. One French reporter had an i 26 of organizing a large bike race that went through the whole of France.

四、任务型阅读
请根据短文内容回答下面问题,每题答案不超过10个单词。
The air is thin and we have to rest several times on the short hike from camp. To our left, snow-covered mountains disappear into clouds that seem almost close enough to touch. On the plain in front of us, we can just make out a herd of graceful animals. This is why we’re here—to observe Tibetan antelopes (藏羚羊).
Tibetan antelopes live on the plains of Xizang, Xinjiang, and Qinghai. Watching them move slowly across the green grass, I’m struck by their beauty. I’m also reminded of the danger they were in. They were once hunted for their valuable fur.
My guide is Zhaxi, a villager from Changtang. He works at the Changtang National Nature Reserve. The reserve is a shelter for the animals and plants of northwestern Xizang. To Zhaxi, the land is sacred (神圣的) and protecting the wildlife is a way of life. “We’re not trying to save the animals,” he says. “Actually, we’re trying to save ourselves.”
The 1980s and 1990s were bad times for the Tibetan antelope. The population dropped by more than 50 percent. Hunters shot antelopes to make profits. Their habitats became smaller as new roads and railways were built.
In order to save this species from disappearing, the Chinese government placed it under national protection. Zhaxi and other volunteers watched over the antelopes day and night to keep them safe from attacks. Bridges and gates were added to let the antelopes move easily and keep them safe from cars and trains.
The measures were effective. The antelope population has recovered and in June 2015, the Tibetan antelope was removed from the endangered species list. The government, however, does not plan to stop the protection programmes, since the threats to the Tibetan antelope have not yet disappeared.
In the evening, I drink a cup of tea and watch the stars. I think about the antelopes and what Zhaxi told me. Much is being done to protect wildlife, but if we really want to save the planet, we must change our way of life. Only when we learn to live in harmony with nature can we stop being a threat to wildlife and to our planet.
33.Where do Tibetan antelopes live?
34.How did Zhaxi and other volunteers keep Tibetan antelopes safe from attacks?
35.When was the Tibetan antelope removed from the endangered species list?
36.Why did Tibetan antelopes’ habitats become smaller and smaller in the 1980s and 1990s?
37.What can we do to protect endangered wildlife like Tibetan antelopes? (请自拟一句话作答)
Unit8 The world of literature
Welcome to the unit答案精讲
1.B
【详解】句意:——你预计新的学校图书馆什么时候会完全开放供我们使用?——嗯,得等到所有的新书架都安装好之后才能完全开放。
考查疑问词和连词辨析。How long多久;After在……之后;When什么时候;Not until直到……才;Until直到……;As soon as一……就。根据“all the new bookshelves have been set up”可知,问句询问的是时间点,应用“When”提问;答句暗示开放时间取决于书架安装完成,需用“Not until”表示“直到书架装好才会开放”,强调条件。故选B。
2.D
【详解】句意:——你能告诉我这部新电影这个月是否在电影院上映吗?——我不确定,但一上映我就告诉你。
考查宾语从句。分析题干可知,空格处是宾语从句,宾语从句需要用陈述句语序,A、B选项是疑问语序,所以排除;再根据答语“I’m not sure, but I will tell you as soon as it is on.”可知,从句应用if/whether(是否)作引导词。故选D。
3.B
【详解】句意:——你能告诉我这个队里总共有多少学生吗?——实际上,只有十五个。
考查短语辨析。after all毕竟;in all总共;above all最重要的是;at all根本。根据“only fifteen”可知,问句询问的是总人数,因此应使用表示“总共”的短语in all。故选B。
4.A
【详解】句意:——在现代教育中,我们不仅应该获取知识,还应该发展实践技能。——事实上,这两点我们再怎么重视都不为过。
考查并列连词辨析及情态动词用法。not only…but also…不仅……而且……;both…and…两者都;either…or…要么……要么……;neither…nor…既不……也不……;can’t不能;must必须。根据“we should...acquire knowledge...develop practical skills”可知,前半句强调“获取知识”和“发展实践技能”两者都需要,应使用表示并列且强调两者的结构,排除C(二选一)和D(两者都不);根据“In fact, we...care too much about both.”可知,can’t +动词原形+否定词表达“再……也不为过”,故选A。
5.A
【详解】句意:——西蒙的父亲为什么要惩罚他?——因为他编造了一个缺课的借口。
考查动词短语。made up编造;opened up开设;looked up查阅;picked up捡起。根据“an excuse”可知是编造理由。故选A。
6.C
【详解】句意:——妈妈,这个星期天下午我能和我的朋友去野营吗?——不行,除非你的作业完成了。
考查被动语态和动词时态。根据“unless your homework...”可知,指的是作业被完成,主语homework与动词finish是动宾关系,所以用被动语态。unless引导的条件状语从句遵循“主将从现”原则。故选C。
7.A
【详解】句意:——我认为我的英语口语永远不会提高。——不是那样的。我曾经也这么认为,但每天练习对我帮助很大。
考查情境交际用语。That’s not the case不是那样的;That’s a good point说得有道理;I can’t agree more我非常同意;You’re welcome不客气。根据“I once thought so, but practicing every day helped me a lot”可知,答话人曾经也有同样想法,但后来通过练习取得了进步,因此前半句应表示否定对方“永远不会提高”的观点,意为“不是那样的”。故选A。
8.B 9.D 10.C 11.A 12.A 13.C 14.B 15.D 16.A 17.D 18.D 19.A 20.B 21.C 22.B
