Ⅵ.【文章大意】 这是一篇议论文。文章开篇借英国诗人Alfred Lord Tennyson的话引出观点:我们应尽量与野生动物保持距离。文章接着以加拿大森林里的郊狼和云南大象迁徙为例进行论证,告诫我们应当远离这些动物的生活,这是保护它们的一种方式,也是我们的责任。
1.D 设空处位于段末,应具有总结前文的作用。上文“When the British poet Alfred Lord Tennyson described nature as ‘red in tooth and claw’, he was telling us that the natural world can be cruel as well as beautiful.”提到了英国诗人对自然界的观点,但此处尚未表明作者自己的观点,由此可推知,设空处是作者在总结上文并表明自己的观点。D项(简单地说,我们应该尽量与野生动物保持适当的距离。)恰好能总结上文内容,又表达了作者自己的观点,符合语境。故选D。
2.E 上文“Most people living in urban areas rarely encounter wild animals in their natural surroundings.”提到了大多数生活在城市的人很少遇到野生动物;下文“And they are willing to get close to them. But for wild animals, it is ‘eat or be eaten’, and they can’t distinguish between humans and other animals.”提到了人们想接近这些野生动物,但野生动物只有“要么吃,要么被吃”的概念,它们无法区分人类和其他动物,由此可推知,人们接近这些野生动物是因为他们没有正确的认知。E项(因此,他们误以为野生动物和迪士尼角色一样友好。)与下文“And they are willing to get close to them.”为顺承关系。故选E。
3.A 设空处位于段首,应具有概述下文的作用。下文“In Canadian woods lives a dog-like animal, coyote, which is a little bigger than a fox, but smaller than a wolf. They usually avoid humans, but the occasional attacks can be deadly. Every year, one or two people end up getting killed by coyotes.”提到了加拿大森林里有一种郊狼,有时会把人杀死。由此可推知,此处提及的内容应与森林有关。A项(在森林里散步可能很危险。)恰好与下文提及的“加拿大森林”对应,而下文内容正是本句话的原因支撑。故选A。
4.G 上文“Animal experts haven’t determined why the elephants went on their journey.”提到了动物专家还没查明这些大象迁徙的原因;下文“The wild animals we love are in a constant struggle for survival.”提到了这些野生动物一直在为生存斗争,由此可推知,设空处可能是在谈这些大象迁徙的潜在原因。G项(一个合理的可能性就是它们需要更多的空间和食物来生存。)恰好与下文的in a constant struggle for survival对应。故选G。
5.B 上文“Maybe we should try to stay away from them.”提议应尽量远离野生动物;下文“Their lives—red in tooth and claw—are difficult enough without us causing them any more problems than they already have.”提到了“我们应该尽量远离野生动物”的原因,由此可推知,设空处是在进一步解释为什么需要远离野生动物。B项(这是保护野生动物的一种方式,也是我们的责任。)恰好与上下文照应。故选B。
Ⅶ.【文章大意】 这是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了在中国西南部发现的恐龙足迹,这些足迹可以追溯到1亿年前,并对发现的过程和保护措施进行了简要介绍。
1.dating 考查非谓语动词。空处在句子中作定语,应使用非谓语动词,因与其逻辑主语footprints之间为逻辑上的主谓关系,应填入现在分词,故填dating。
2.an 考查冠词。associate是发音以元音音素开头的单词,且此处表示泛指,故填an。
3.length 考查名词。根据空前的定冠词the和空后的介词of可知,应填入名词形式length,故填length。
4.that 考查结果状语从句。根据句意可知,下文为结果状语从句,且so…that…为固定句型,表示“如此……以至于……”,故填that。
5.actually 考查副词。在系动词后且修饰整个句子应该用副词形式,故填actually。
6.to 考查介词。add…to…为固定短语,表示“在……上加……,为……增加……”,符合句意,故填to。
7.destroyed 考查非谓语动词。空处在句子中作表语,使用非谓语动词,因与其逻辑主语they之间为逻辑上的动宾关系,应填入过去分词形式,故填destroyed。
8.was removed 考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。空处在句子中作谓语,且与主语之间为被动关系,使用被动语态,根据时间状语about a year ago可知,句子表示的是过去发生的动作,谓语动词使用一般过去时的被动语态,又因主语为不可数名词,故填was removed。
9.natural 考查形容词。空处在句子中作定语,应填入形容词形式,故填natural。
10.further 考查副词比较级。根据“Now fences (栅栏) have been set up to prevent people from stepping on the pits and protect the footprints…”可知,此处是要把现在的保护措施和以前的保护措施进行比较,应填入副词比较级形式further“进一步”,故填further。
