第一節 閱讀理解(共20小題;每小題2分,滿分40分)
A
People who love animals are often curious about where to see them.Here is some advice.
Wild Horses
Assateague Island National Seashore between Maryland and Virginia is home to a population of several hundred wild horses.It's likely that the beautiful creatures come from domestic horses that lived in the area a few hundred years ago,although the local stories tell that the horses' ancestors survived a shipwreck(海難)off the Virginia coast.The horses run quickly through the park,so you are more likely to see them on the beach.
Polar Bears
Churchill,Manitoba,on the shores of Hudson Bay,is often called the “Polar Bear Capital of the World” thanks to the cute white bears that visit in the fall.The best way to see the lovely white animals is in the special cars called “tundra buggies”that take visitors on polar bear tours throughout the area.These polar bear viewing tours run from early October to mid-November.
Giraffes
Want to stick your neck out and see giraffes in their natural habitat?A great place to do so is Chobe National Park in Botswana.Giraffe families tend to be found in the northeast area of the park,near the Chobe River.Other good giraffe viewing spots include kenya's Nairobi National Park and Tanzania's Arusha National Park.
Manatees(海牛)
These gentle giants are endangered,but it is possible to see them—and even swim with them—while still respecting their space.One of the best places to see manatees is at the Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge,on Florida's Gulf Coast,which aims to protect the manatee and its habitat.Choose a good company when you go to see them to make sure you follow all the laws and regulations.
26.What is the BEST title for the text?
A.Endangered Animals in the World
B.Where to See Some Lovely Animals
C.Tips on How to Protect Wild Animals
D.The Living Habitats of Wild Animals
【解析】 主旨大意題。本文主要介紹了觀看四種可愛動物的地點,故文章標題應該選B。
【答案】 B
27.The BEST place to see polar bears is________.
A.at the Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge
B.in Chobe National Park in Botswana
C.at Assateague Island National Seashore
D.on the shores of Hudson Bay
【解析】 細節理解題。根據對北極熊介紹的第一句“Churchill,Manitoba,on the shores of Hudson Bay,is often called the ‘Polar Bear Capital of the World’...”可知觀看北極熊最好的地點在加拿大的哈德遜灣的海濱。
【答案】 D
28.Which of the following animals may have the smallest population?
A.Manatees.
B.Polar bears.
C.Giraffes.
D.Wild horses.
【解析】 細節理解題。根據最后一段第一句“These gentle giants are endangered,but it is possible to see them...”可知,海牛瀕臨滅絕,故可推測在四個選項中它們的數量最少。
【答案】 A
29.It can be known from the text that________.
A.the wild horses are the ancestors of domestic horses
B.the giraffes often go out in the park alone
C.the best time to see polar bears is in autumn
D.manatees are the most difficult animals to raise
【解析】 推理判斷題。根據每三段中的“...thanks to the cute white bears that visit in the fall.”以及“These polar bear viewing tours run from early October to mid-November.”可以推測,觀看北極熊的最佳時間是在秋天。
【答案】 C
30.The intended readers of the text are________.
A.tourists
B.geographers
C.environmentalists
D.officials
【解析】 推理判斷題。本文說明了觀看四種動物的最好的地點,其讀者對象應該是旅游者。
【答案】 A
B
We see with our eyes,and sight tells us about the things outside our bodies.
Light strikes things,bounces off them,and enters the eyes through the pupils(瞳孔).After that it passes through a lens (水晶體)in each eye.The lenses focus the image of the thing you are looking at,but also turn it upside down!When the upside-down image reaches the back of the eye,it strikes the retina.The retina contains the optic nerve that sends the image to the brain.
It's the brain that decides what you are seeing,and what to do.When you look at the word“CAT”,your eyes send the image to your brain,but it's your brain that figures out or remembers the word,and reads it.
Are tears important?Yes,they keep your eyes wet,but they also help them stay clean.Every time we blink,we wash the surface of the eye with tears.In this way we wash out dust and other things that get into the eyes.We should not rub them when they feel uncomfortable,though;we should just blink,or clean them out with clean water and cotton.
When you've been reading for a long time,try this.Hold your head straight,and look straight out in front of you.The eyes have muscles that move them from side to side and up and down without you moving your head.This is why you need to rest your eyes when they are tired.
31.Put the following steps in the right order.
a.Light passes through the lens.
b.Light strikes the object and bounces off it.
c.Light travels through the pupils.
d.The optic nerve sends the image to the brain.
A.a,c,b,d
B.b,c,a,d
C.b,a,c,d
D.a,b,c,d
【解析】 細節理解題。根據第二段可知,物體反射的光線先是通過瞳孔,然后再通過水晶體,水晶體將看到的物體的圖像反過來傳到眼底,到達視網膜的視神經上,最后傳到大腦,所以正確的順序是B。
【答案】 B
32.When the light that bounces off an object goes through the lens,the image of the object becomes________.
A.larger
B.longer
C.less clear
D.upside down
【解析】 細節理解題。根據第二段“...but also turn it upside down...the upside-down image...”可知,當照射到物體上的光線經過水晶體時,物體的影像是倒置的。
【答案】 D
33.Which of the following are correct ways to clean the eyes?
?、貰linking them.
②Rubbing them with one's hands.
?、跰oving them up and down.
?、蹸leaning them with clean water and cotton.
A.③④
B.①②③
C.①④
D.①③④
【解析】 細節理解題。根據倒數第二段可知,當眼睛里有灰塵或異物時,我們可以通過眨眼睛,用眼淚將其沖出,也可以用凈水和棉球將其清理出,所以C正確。
【答案】 C
34.Which of the following can be a connection between the retina and the brain?
A.The lens.
B.The light.
C.The pupil.
D.The optic nerve.
【解析】 細節理解題。由第二段最后一句“The retina contains the optic nerve that sends the image to the brain.”可知:視網膜中包含視神經,正是視神經把所看到的東西的信息傳遞給大腦,因此可以被比作連接的橋梁,因此答案為D。
【答案】 D
35.If there aren't any tears in your eyes,your eyes will________.
A.become dry and dirty
B.become brighter and wetter
C.never blink
D.see things far away easily
【解析】 推理判斷題。由文章倒數第二段可知:眼淚能夠使眼睛保持濕潤,并且能夠清潔眼中的臟東西,由此可推知,如果沒有眼淚,眼睛會變得干澀和不潔凈,因此選A。
【答案】 A
C
Scientists believed that babies were able to recognise certain sounds from birth,such as their parents' voices,but they believed that babies were only able to imitate them from the age of about 12 weeks.Now research suggests that babies develop ability for language much earlier than people thought before.“Our study shows the importance of crying for language development,”said Professor Kathleen Wermke,who led the research in Germany.
The study recorded and analysed the cries of 60 healthy babies,30 born into French-speaking families and 30 from German-speaking families.The recordings were made when babies were 3 to 5 days old.Analvsis showed clear differences in the babies' cry melodies,which appeared to imitate their mother tongue.French newborns tended to cry with a rising melody,while German babies preferred a falling melody.While the average volume of crying was the same,the French babies started more quietly and built up to an increasing melody,while the German babies did the opposite.These patterns are similar to typical differences between the two languages,according to the researchers.
