Only half their brain rests at once and the other half of the brain is able to sense danger if needed.(鳥(niǎo)兒睡覺(jué)時(shí)常常睜一只眼。他們只有一半的大腦同時(shí)休息,另一半的大腦能夠在需要的時(shí)候感知危險(xiǎn))”可知,本段主要介紹鳥(niǎo)類在睡覺(jué)時(shí)十分小心。那么G項(xiàng)Unlike humans, birds can more carefully control their sleep(與人類不同,鳥(niǎo)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(guò)睡在一起,有更多的鳥(niǎo)注意到捕食者)”可知,此處介紹了鳥(niǎo)類在一起睡覺(jué)可以注視到捕食者,所以空格應(yīng)該講述這樣做會(huì)帶來(lái)的好處。那么D項(xiàng)It gives each bird a greater chance of survival(這給了每只鳥(niǎo)更大的生存機(jī)會(huì))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(dāng)鳥(niǎo)類睡覺(jué)時(shí),它們用羽毛保護(hù)脆弱的身體部位)”可知,鳥(niǎo)類的羽毛可以保護(hù)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(guò)把腳或嘴塞進(jìn)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(xiàng)A bird’s feathers help it keep warm.(鳥(niǎo)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(niǎo)類一次睡眠時(shí)間的數(shù)據(jù)很少)”可知,關(guān)于鳥(niǎo)類睡眠時(shí)間的記錄很少。由此推知,空格處應(yīng)該說(shuō)明鳥(niǎo)類的睡眠的時(shí)間依然是個(gè)謎。那么F項(xiàng)So the length of birds sleep per night is still unknown.( 因此,鳥(niǎo)類每晚睡眠的長(zhǎng)度仍然是未知的)承接上文。故選F。第三部分:語(yǔ)言運(yùn)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(gè)選項(xiàng)中,選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng),并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。I39。m entering my eighth year teaching preschool. I39。ve never got tired of it, because 41 year is ever the same. Sometimes our school brings new staff and new students39。 families who are 42 with the purposeful aesthetic (美學(xué))our school seeks for. So I am eager to show them around my classroom with the introduction of 43 to help them sense our school philosophy ——supporting creativity, learning and 44 for children.

First, I arrange all the children’ s first names in a circle on the wall, 47 traditional number lines or alphabet order, which may make students feel discriminated. 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.
