a pony roll over on his back. “ Hello!” I said to him, assuming he was just rolling for fun, but he was very still and, as I got closer, I saw him kicking his legs in the air and breathing heavily. I began to properly worry about him. Fortunately, I managed to get in touch with a Dartmoor’ s Livestock Protection officer and send her a photo. The officer immediately sent a local farmer out to check on the pony. The pony had actually been trapped between two rocks. The farmer freed him, and he began to run happily around again. Dartmoor has 1,000 or so ponies, who play a critical role in creating the diversity of species in this area. Many people are working hard to preserve these ponies, and trying to e up with plans to find a sustainable(可持續(xù)的 ) future for one of Dartmoor’ s most financially﹣ troubled elements. 語篇導(dǎo)讀 :本文介紹了英國達(dá)特穆爾草原的馬駒保護(hù)項(xiàng)目。句意:大雨使我們不能參加聚會(huì)。 Ⅱ .單句改錯(cuò) 1.StandingStand in a long queue, we waited for the store to open to buy a new iPad. 解析 : we 與 stand之間為主動(dòng)關(guān)系,故用現(xiàn)在分詞形式作伴隨狀語。 eaten(eat) at the cafeteria before, Tina didn’ t want to eat there again. 解析 :句意:由于之前在那家自助餐廳用過餐, Tina 不想再去那里用餐了。句意:孩子們聽到他們的父母將從國外回來的消息很高興。 prefer staying at home to playing(play) with him outside. 解析 :考查固定短語。 lady walked around the shops, keeping(keep) an eye out for bargains. 解析 :現(xiàn)在分詞形式作伴隨狀語。 got to the office earlier that day, caught havingcaught the 7:30 train from Paddington. 解析 :句意:因?yàn)槲亿s上了來自帕丁頓 7:30 的火車,所以那天我到達(dá)辦公室更早了一些。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知, repair與 making并列作介詞 at的賓語,故將 repair改為 repairing。四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中只有 B項(xiàng)是馬駒遷移的目的之一。 解析 : D 根據(jù)第一段末句中的“ because people… than ever before”可知這里描述的是一種世界各國正在面臨的問題( problem)。 解析 : C 由上一句中的“ produce products quickly and inexpensively”可知,產(chǎn)品應(yīng)該是充足的和便宜的,故此空應(yīng)填 cheap。根據(jù)前句的語境可知此處表示生產(chǎn)( produce)一次性產(chǎn)品。 15. 解析 : D根據(jù)后一句“ Mountains of rubbish just keep getting bigger”可知此處指的是“這 種拋棄型的生活方式造成的后果”。 解析 : A根據(jù)前句中的“ to repair our possessions 19 throwing them away”以及后句中的“ Repairing our possessions and changing our spending habits…”可知選 A項(xiàng)。所填詞引導(dǎo)定語從句,在從句中作主語,先行詞是 place,故應(yīng)填that/which。 。 。 。分析語境可知,此處表示這項(xiàng)工作比作者想象的要難得多,故應(yīng)填 harder。作者和丈夫想給兒子一個(gè)驚喜,但是事情并 沒有想象得那么簡單,但是他們集中注意力,把愛放在這件事情上,最終結(jié)果一定會(huì)是好的。 解析 : C根據(jù)后句中的“ more governments are requiring people to recycle materials”和文章最后一句中的“… to reduce the amount of rubbish and take care of our environment”可知,人們回收資源的目的是減少垃圾的數(shù)量和保護(hù)環(huán)境。
