些物種滅絕,即:“消失”。故選D。 (2)考查動詞。A:ban“禁止”;B:save“挽救,節(jié)約”;C:split“分裂,分離”;D:remove“移除,去掉”。根據(jù)上文每天都有物種消失,那么該句應(yīng)指科學(xué)家們正在竭盡全力保護(hù)這些物種,使它們免于滅絕。故選B。 (3)考查名詞。A:abortion“流產(chǎn),(計劃等)失敗”;B:recreation“娛樂,消遣”;C:reproduction“繁殖”;D:administration“管理”。根據(jù)上文科學(xué)家們竭盡全力保護(hù)瀕臨滅絕的物種,由此推知,該處應(yīng)指Chris和Tim幫助瀕危物種繁殖,增加它們的數(shù)量,這樣它們才不至于滅絕。故該空應(yīng)指繁殖,故選C。 (4)考查名詞。A:care“關(guān)心,照顧”;B:eye“眼”;C:mind“思維”;D:story“故事,經(jīng)歷”。自從2004年,Emma一直由Chris和Tim照顧。該空和下一句中的“human caretaker”呼應(yīng)。故選A。 (5)考查動詞。A:found“發(fā)現(xiàn)”;B:chosen“選擇”;C:raised“升起,飼養(yǎng)”;D:seized“抓住”。 根據(jù)下文“human caretakers”可知,caretaker當(dāng)然是照看Emma的。故該句應(yīng)指:出生在一個國際鶴基地,Emma由人類撫養(yǎng)照看。故答案選C。 (6)考查名詞。A:bonus“獎金,額外津貼,紅利”;B:consequence“后果”;C:victory“勝利”;D:sacrifice“犧牲”。根據(jù)空后的though(盡管)可知,though前后的兩個句子之間是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。后面提到,她過得很開心。根據(jù)轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,那么前文應(yīng)該表示“但是這導(dǎo)致了出乎意料的結(jié)果”。故選B。 (7)考查副詞。A:never“從來不”;B:always“總是”;C:unluckily“不幸地是”;D:cheerfully“高高興興地” 根據(jù)下文中的“bee deeply attached to humans…even …killing some of them”等內(nèi)容可知,因為Emma一直由人類照看,所以它沒有將自己看作是一只鶴,而是深深的依戀上了人類。故選A。 (8)考查動詞。A:liked“喜歡”;B:refused“拒絕”;C:decided“決定”;D:hesitated“猶豫”。 根據(jù)上文,Emma不把自己當(dāng)作鶴,所以它拒絕和雄鶴生活在一起。故選B。 (9)考查名詞。A:gift“禮物,天賦”;B:skill“技能”;C:concern“關(guān)心,擔(dān)心”;D:reputation“聲譽(yù)”。根據(jù)“even(甚至)”這個遞進(jìn)關(guān)系可知,Emma不僅拒絕和雄鶴生活在一起,而且因為弄死了幾只雄鶴而臭名昭著。故選D。 (10)考查形容詞。A:illegal“非法的”;B:inspiring“鼓舞人心的”;C:important“重要的”;D:impossible“不可能的”。 Emma拒絕和雄鶴生活,這當(dāng)然使得她不可能生育小鶴,成為媽媽。故選D。 (11)考查副詞。A:Therefore“因此”;B:Moreover“而且”;C:However“但是,然而”;D:Instead“代替”。上文提到Emma拒絕和雄鶴生活,使得她不可能生育小鶴。下文提到兩位動物園管理員不想看到這一物種的滅絕。由此推知,上下文之間是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。故選C。 (12)考查名詞。A:bination“結(jié)合”;B:collection“收集,收藏”;C:strategy“策略,戰(zhàn)略”;D:system“機(jī)制”。經(jīng)過努力,Chris和Tim成功的將人工繁殖和自然繁殖結(jié)合在一起。故選A。 (13)考查動詞。A:forced“強(qiáng)迫”;B:forbade“禁止”;C:taught“教”;D:enabled“使能夠”。Chris和Tim成功的將人工繁殖和自然繁殖結(jié)合在一起,這使得Emma誕育了五只幼鶴。enable sb. to do ,“使……能夠做某事”,故選D。 (14)考查形容詞。A:defeated“戰(zhàn)敗的”;B:grateful“感激的”;C:assured確定的,有把握的,自信的”;D:tolerant“容忍的”。 根據(jù)下文“more efforts must be made”可知,盡管兩個人為自己的成就感到驕傲,但是他們還需要付出更多努力,因為野生鶴的數(shù)量在減少。所以他們還不能完全放心(白鶴不會滅絕)。故選C。 (15)考查名(代)詞。A:it“它”;B:rise“提升”;C:agenda“代辦處”;D:decline“下降,減少”。 根據(jù)because可知,前后句之間是因果關(guān)系,根據(jù)more efforts must be made可以推知,野生白鶴數(shù)量在減少,所以,還要付出更多的努力(來挽救白鶴滅絕)。故選D。 (16)考查介詞短語。A:In contrast“對比”;B:After all“畢竟,終究”;C:By the way“順便說一下”;D:On the contrary“相反”。根據(jù)上文:野生白鶴數(shù)量正在減少,很多其他物種似乎也在逐漸滅絕。該句提到,并不是所有的人都意識到野生動物有思想,感情,以及平等生存的權(quán)利。很明顯,該句是對前文出現(xiàn)野生動物瀕臨滅絕原因的一種解釋。故選B。 (17)考查動詞。A:leave“離開,留下”;B:bridge“架橋,渡過”;C:open“打開”;D:identify“確定,鑒定”。針對上文提到的很多物種滅絕這種現(xiàn)象,作者提出一個問題:我們?nèi)绾蝸硐龑⑷祟惡蛣游锔糸_的不斷擴(kuò)大的鴻溝呢?故選B。 (18)考查名詞。A:course“過程,課程”;B:excuse“借口”;C:answer“回答”;D:reward“獎賞”。 上文提出一個問題:我們?nèi)绾蝸硐龑⑷祟惡蛣游锔糸_的不斷擴(kuò)大的鴻溝呢?Chris和Tim的做法給我們提供了一個答案。選C。 (19)考查名詞。A:brains“大腦”;B:behaviors“表現(xiàn),行為”;C:services“服務(wù)”;D:projects“工程,項目”。根據(jù)下文中的“hold all the solutions”可以推斷出,人類認(rèn)為自己的“大腦”掌握著所有的解決辦法。即:人類認(rèn)為自己的大腦可以想出所有的解決辦法。故選A。 (20)考查名詞。A:guide“向?qū)А?;B:treat“請客”;C:example“例子”;D:panion“伙伴”。根據(jù)轉(zhuǎn)折詞but可以推知,人類想當(dāng)然的認(rèn)為自己的大腦掌握著所有的解決辦法。但或許他們可以用“心”更好地“引領(lǐng)”他們?nèi)ケWo(hù)這些瀕危的動物。故選A。 【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及動詞,名詞,形容詞,副詞,介詞,固定短語等多個知識點(diǎn)的考查,是一篇人生感悟類閱讀,要求考生在理解細(xì)節(jié)信息的基礎(chǔ)上,進(jìn)一步根據(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。6.閱讀下面短文,從短文后各題所給的四個選項(A、B、C、D),選出最佳選項。 I had worried myself sick over Simon39。s mother ing to see me. I was a new 1 , and I gave an honest account of the students39。 work. In Simon39。s case, the grades were awfully low. He couldn39。t read his own handwriting. 2 he was a bright student. He discussed adult subjects with nearly adult prehension. His work in no way reflected his 3 . So when Simon39。s mother entered the room, my palms (手掌心) were sweating. I was pletely 4 for her kisses on both my cheeks. I came to thank you, she said, surprising me beyond speech. 5 me, Simon had bee a different person. He talked of how he 6 me, he had begun to make friends, and for the first time in his twelve years, he had 7 spent an afternoon at a friend39。s house. She wanted to tell me how grateful she was for the 8 I had nurtured (培養(yǎng)) in her son. She kissed me again and left. I sat, stunned (驚呆), for about half an hour, 9 what had just happened. How did I make such a life173。changing difference to that boy without 10 knowing it? What I finally came to 11 was one day, several months before, when some students were 12 reports in the front of the class. Jeanne spoke 13 , and to encourage her to raise her voice, I had said, Speak up. Simon39。s the expert on this. He is the 14 one you have to convince, and he can39。t hear you in the 15 of the room. That was it. From that day on, Simon had sat up straighter, paid more attention, 16 more, and became happy. And it was all because he 17 to be the last kid in the last row. The boy who most needed 18 was the one who took the last seat that day. It taught me the most 19 lesson over the years of my teaching career, and I39。m thankful that it came 20 and positively.
