【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 。. is impossible for life to exist on planets life could only exist on a few planets could exist on only one planet in a million could exist on a great number of planets【答案】 （1）B（2）C（3）A（4）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文，整個(gè)宇宙都是由同一種物質(zhì)構(gòu)成的，物質(zhì)在宇宙的每一部分都遵循同樣的規(guī)律。因此，我們有理由猜測(cè)，其他恒星，以及它們自己的行星，都是以與我們太陽(yáng)系相同的方式誕生的。我們對(duì)地球上生命的了解表明，只要存在適當(dāng)?shù)臈l件，生命就會(huì)出現(xiàn)。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“Life requires the right amount and kind of atmosphere”；第四段中“Life also requires a steady supply of heat and light.”以及第五段中“Finally, life could evolve(進(jìn)化) only if the planet is just the right distance from its sun”可知，生命的進(jìn)化需要適當(dāng)數(shù)量和種類的大氣、穩(wěn)定的光和熱供應(yīng)以及行星與太陽(yáng)的距離恰到好處。文章中沒(méi)有提到生命的進(jìn)化需要太陽(yáng)系。故選B。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段中的“Life also requires a steady supply of heat and light. This eliminates double stars, or stars that flare up suddenly. ” 可知，生命也需要穩(wěn)定的光和熱供應(yīng)。這就排除了雙星，或突然爆發(fā)的恒星。故選C。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“First, eliminate those stars that are not like our sun. Next eliminate most of their planets。 they are either too far from or too close to their suns. Then eliminate all those planets which are not the same size and weight as the earth. Finally, remember that the proper conditions do not necessarily mean that life actually does exist on a planet.”可知，大部分行星都不能維持生命，因?yàn)樗麄円措x太陽(yáng)太近，要么離太陽(yáng)太遠(yuǎn)，要么與地球大小和重量不一樣，而且適當(dāng)?shù)臈l件也并不一定意味著生命確實(shí)。故選A。 （4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“However, even if life could exist on only one planet in a million, there are so many billions of planets that this would still leave a vast number on which life could exist.”可知， 然而，即使生命可能只存在于百萬(wàn)分之一的行星上，但仍有數(shù)十億的行星可能存在生命?？芍?，生命可能在許多星球存在。故選D。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇科普類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。4．閱讀理解 The killdeer, a small bird known for its highpitched(聲調(diào)高的)call, could lead to the cancellation(取消) of one of Canada39。 biggest music festivals. The first hint of trouble for Ottawa39。s Bluesfest, an outdoor festival that draws around 300,000 people each year, came last week after workers at the site found one of the birds. It had laid four eggs nearby, effectively claiming the main stage area as its nesting ground. This is one of the most challenging problems we39。ve been presented with, but we feel we can work through this, said Mark Monahan, executive director of the festival. Anything that changes the schedule has a major effect, so we39。re taking it very seriously. The discovery meant that government officials rushed to protect the nest and the eggs, hiring a security guard to watch over them 24 hours a day. Environmentalists were also brought in. We don39。t know when the eggs might hatch, said Monahan. What is known is that the young killdeer will likely leave the nest soon after they are hatched, leading many to hope that the eggs hatch in the next day or so. The festival is now seeking permission from Environment Canada to relocate(搬遷)the nest some 50 meters away or take it to a wildlife center. Moving the nest would also ensure the bird and its young would be protected during the festival39。s 11day run, said Monahan. It39。s highly likely that the festival39。s thousands of attendees would cause huge problems for the bird and its eggs. Monahan was confident that the festival would go on as planned, however. Most of the people we39。re working with are looking for a positive solution, Monahan said. There is no one saying that the festival can39。t go on. As news of the dilemma spread, it left residents divided. Some supported the bird, saying that moving the nest might result in the eggs being abandoned. Others expressed annoyance that protecting the eggs of the small bird, which is widespread across North America, was risking an annual festival that contributes millions of dollars to the local economy. The killdeer39。s tendency to build its nest in open fields or flat areas has caused issues in other areas of the US: earlier this year, construction of a health center in Wisconsin was temporarily stopped after a killdeer and its four eggs were discovered.（1）What can we learn about Bluesfest? is the first music festival in Canada. is an important event for music lovers. is a music festival held every two years. is a challenging outdoor activity in Ottawa.（2）What was especially challenging for Bluesfest this year? from the government. with the public. need to protect the bird39。s eggs. lack of experience in hosting the event.（3）How did the festival plan to deal with the problem? the nest to another place. government officials for help. advice from environmentalists. security guards to protect the eggs.（4）The underlined word dilemma is closest in meaning to ______. difficult situation extreme situation dangerous situation encouraging situation【答案】 （1）B（2）C（3）A（4）A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇記敘文，對(duì)于音樂(lè)愛(ài)好者來(lái)說(shuō)，非常重大的加拿大音樂(lè)事件Bluesfest,在上周工作人員在現(xiàn)場(chǎng)發(fā)現(xiàn)了一只小水鳥，它在附近下了四個(gè)蛋，把主要舞臺(tái)區(qū)域作為它的筑巢地，以及就主辦方準(zhǔn)備將鳥巢搬離此處引發(fā)了人們討論。 （1）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的“The first hint of trouble for Ottawa39。s Bluesfest, an outdoor festival that draws around 300,000 people each year, came last week after workers at the site found one of the birds.”可知渥太華的Bluesfest,是一個(gè)每年吸引約30萬(wàn)人參加的戶外節(jié)日。因此Bluesfest,對(duì)音樂(lè)愛(ài)好者來(lái)說(shuō)是一個(gè)重要的事件。故選B。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“It had laid four eggs nearby, effectively claiming the main stage area as its nesting ground. ”小水鳥在舞臺(tái)附近下了4個(gè)蛋；和第四段中的“‘This is one of the most challenging problems we39。ve been presented with, but we feel we can work through this,’ said Mark Monahan, executive director of the festival.”音樂(lè)節(jié)執(zhí)行總監(jiān)說(shuō)：“這是我們面臨的最具挑戰(zhàn)性的問(wèn)題之一，我覺(jué)得我們可以解決這個(gè)問(wèn)題”。得知 保護(hù)鳥蛋是今年Bluesfest面臨挑戰(zhàn)的事情。故選C。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第五段中的“The festival is now seeking permission from Environment Canada to relocate(搬遷)the nest some 50 meters away or take it to a wildlife center.”可知現(xiàn)在該節(jié)日正在尋求加拿大環(huán)境部的許可，將鳥巢遷移到50米外，或帶到野生動(dòng)物中心，可以得知為了解決這個(gè)問(wèn)題，節(jié)日籌備方打算把鳥巢搬到另一個(gè)地方。故選A。 （4）考查詞義猜測(cè)。根據(jù)第五段中的“Moving the nest would also ensure the bird and its young would be protected during the festival39。s 11day run, said Monahan. It39。s highly likely that the festival39。s thousands of attendees would cause huge problems for the bird and its eggs.”可知Monahan說(shuō)，為期11天的節(jié)日活動(dòng)中，移動(dòng)鳥巢能確保鳥兒和其幼鳥得到保護(hù)。但是極有可能，成千上萬(wàn)的參與者會(huì)給這只鳥和它的蛋帶來(lái)巨大的問(wèn)題?？梢酝茢喑霎?dāng)時(shí)的處境困難，故選A。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，詞義猜測(cè)和推理判斷三個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇故事類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解 Summer is approaching and the following books can acpany you during the hot season.◆And Then Comes Summer by Tom Brenner The smell of freshcut grass.
