By sleeping together, there are more birds to notice predators(捕食者).38. In winter, many birds roost together in limited spaces to share body heat and survive lower nighttime temperatures. When birds sleep, they protect vulnerable(易受傷害的) body parts by burying themselves in their . By tucking(收攏) feet or the bill into the feathers, less body heat is lost. When a bird’s bill is buried deeply in its feathers, it is also able to breathe air warmed by its own body heat.There is little data available about how long birds sleep once. 40.

C 37. G 38. D 39. A 40. F【解析】本文是一篇說明文,介紹了鳥是如何睡覺的。36. 根據(jù)空格前一句“At night you hardly hear a bird (晚上幾乎聽不到鳥叫聲)”可知,此處提及鳥在晚上幾乎不叫。由此推知,空格處應(yīng)該解釋鳥為什么在晚上不叫。那么C項That’s because they’re sleeping at night, too.(那是因為它們晚上也睡覺)解釋其原因。故選C。37. 根據(jù)下文“Birds often sleep with one eye open. Only half their brain rests at once and the other half of the brain is able to sense danger if needed.(鳥兒睡覺時常常睜一只眼。他們只有一半的大腦同時休息,另一半的大腦能夠在需要的時候感知危險)”可知,本段主要介紹鳥類在睡覺時十分小心。那么G項Unlike humans, birds can more carefully control their sleep(與人類不同,鳥類可以更小心地控制自己的睡眠)引出本段。故選G。38. 根據(jù)空格前一句“By sleeping together, there are more birds to notice predators(通過睡在一起,有更多的鳥注意到捕食者)”可知,此處介紹了鳥類在一起睡覺可以注視到捕食者,所以空格應(yīng)該講述這樣做會帶來的好處。那么D項It gives each bird a greater chance of survival(這給了每只鳥更大的生存機會)承接上文。故選D。39. 根據(jù)空格前一句“When birds sleep, they protect vulnerable body parts by burying themselves in their feathers.( 當鳥類睡覺時,它們用羽毛保護脆弱的身體部位)”可知,鳥類的羽毛可以保護其脆弱的部分。再結(jié)合空格后一句“By tucking feet or the bill into the feathers, less body heat is lost.(通過把腳或嘴塞進羽毛里,減少了身體熱量的流失)”可知,空格處應(yīng)該介紹羽毛的作用。那么A項A bird’s feathers help it keep warm.(鳥的羽毛幫助它保暖)介紹了其作用。故選A。40. 根據(jù)空格前一句“There is little data available about how long birds sleep once.(關(guān)于鳥類一次睡眠時間的數(shù)據(jù)很少)”可知,關(guān)于鳥類睡眠時間的記錄很少。由此推知,空格處應(yīng)該說明鳥類的睡眠的時間依然是個謎。那么F項So the length of birds sleep per night is still unknown.( 因此,鳥類每晚睡眠的長度仍然是未知的)承接上文。故選F。第三部分:語言運用(共兩節(jié),滿分45分)第一節(jié):完形填空(共20小題;,共30分)閱讀下面短文,從短文后各題所給的A、B、C和D四個選項中,選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項,并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。I39。m entering my eighth year teaching preschool.

I like it when children see their names and have a sense of 48 to our class munity. 49 I have a sign on our paper towel holder that is a 50 of how many paper towels we use, because we are showing our 51 to the Earth and will be starting with what we can do for the Earth within our classroom. I also have a small sign about our voice scale, which gives a 52 to distinguish indoor and outdoor voice level, and then I use the language all the time 53 ,“Shh — Let39。s bring our voices down to a Number 2 or 3. ”For the 54 part, the walls belong to the children, and the children will 55 the lively color and decorations in the room through their paintings to 56 their tension between lessons.
