（2022·广东顺德德胜学校高二期中）The Whale’s Voyage
Strange as it may seem, modern whales’ ancestors didn’t always live in the water.
____11____. Scientists have discovered new details about their ancestors and close relatives.
The journey whales made from land to water began about 50 million years ago. The dinosaurs had already disappeared.____12____. The mammals (哺乳动物) were warm-blooded. They had fur or hair to keep them warm, and they produced milk to nurse their young.
Some of these ancient mammals began to wander along muddy shores and explore the water. They were probably searching for food.____13____. Over time their bodies gradually adapted to an aquatic (水生的) life: Arms changed into flippers (鳍状肢). Back legs got smaller and eventually disappeared. About 10 million years later, several species of these mammals had become fully aquatic.
____14____. For example, they remained warm-blooded, unlike fish. But they developed other features well suited to sea life. They lost most of their hair, which made their bodies more streamlined (流线型的) for swimming. They continued to breathe oxygen from the air, just like land animals. But their nostrils ( 鼻 孔 ) gradually moved toward the top of the head, becoming blowholes(喷水孔).
Fossils provided clues to the whales’ past. The secret was locked in the skulls of their four- legged ancestors. Scientists found features similar to those of modern whales.
Examining early whales revealed another clue.____15____. But their anklebones(踝骨) were like those of today’s two-toed hoofed (有蹄的) mammals—sheep, camels, deer, pigs, and hippos.
To determine which of the hoofed mammals are most closely related to whales, scientists also examined their DNA．Scientists soon found whale’s nearest relative: the hippo!
A．Their ancestors lived on land.
B．But many ancient mammals survived the extinction.
C．The whale breathed in the same way as mammals.
D．These whales had tiny legs, too small to be useful for walking.

The handshake might date back to the 14th century, when knights and soldiers would extend their unclenched (松开的) right hands toward each other in greeting to show that they were carrying no weapons.
____16____ Or rather, its tendency for picking up and holding onto germs from polluted surfaces, or from our own eyes or noses when we have certain illnesses. Those germs can then be transferred into the hands of the people we greet, while we can pick up their germs. We then will probably touch our own eyes or noses or mouths, potentially sickening ourselves and restarting the cycle.
Now that a novel coronavirus is spreading fast, our hands are being cast in a new, doubtful light. ____17____. And lately, the Internet has been full of suggestions for socially acceptable ways to greet each other that don’t involve passing germs along unintentionally from one person to the next.
Could this be the end of the handshake? In fact, the tradition of shaking hands isn’t the only greeting to take a fresh look. A Maori tribe in New Zealand put the brakes on hongi, the traditional nose-to-nose hello. ____18____. Maybe people will stop making fun of the Hollywood air kiss, though it’s not a huge improvement health-wise.
COVID-19 is a real threat, and we shouldn’t take the warning lightly. We may, indeed, need to keep our hands to ourselves for the time being. ____19____.

1．上文“Require students to spend at least 20 minutes in independent reading every day.(要求学生每天至少花20分钟进行独立阅读)”提到了教师要求学生每天至少花20分钟进行独立阅读，这是一个规律的行为；由下文“teachers show that they consider reading very important. Therefore, they always find time to read even though they are terribly busy.(教师表示他们认为阅读很重要。因此，即使他们非常忙，他们也总能找到时间阅读)”可知教师们每天再忙也会抽出时间阅读，这是教师自己的日常习惯；选项F “By taking part in this regular activity themselves(通过他们亲自参加这种有规律的活动)”承接了上文所述的有规律的行为，提出了教师要亲自参与这种有规律的阅读活动，引出了下文教师对于他们日常实际上存在阅读习惯的阐述，与本段标题“Lead by Example(以身作则)”相吻合；故选F项。
2．由标题“Freedom to Choose(自由选择)”可知本段讲述与自由选择相关的内容；下文“For those who forget their books, provide them with access to novels, magazines or newspapers during required reading time. Consider allowing students to use their personal e-readers.(对于那些忘记书本的人，在规定的阅读时间内为他们提供阅读小说、杂志或报纸的机会。考虑允许学生使用他们的个人电子阅读器)”讲述了为学生的阅读提供便利机会的方式；选项G “Allow students to pick their own literature, as long as it is suitable for school reading(让学生自己挑选文学作品，只要适合学校阅读)”讲述的正是让学生自由选择喜欢的文学作品，只要适合在学习阅读，与本段标题相吻合，同时引出了下文对于具体为方便学生自由选择文学作品而采取的方法的阐述；故选G项。
3．上文“Teachers’ excitement for a particular book may have a huge influence on their students. Give students a taste of what the book is about.(某一特定的书能引起老师的兴奋可能会对他们的学生产生巨大的影响。让学生体验一下这本书的内容)”提到了教师可以让学生体验一下自己所感兴趣的书本的内容；下文“suggest your favorite(推荐你所喜欢的)”提到了推荐自己所喜欢的，推知空处所述内容是在某个特定的时候；选项B“Then when it comes time for them to choose a new book(然后当他们选择一本新书的时候)”讲述的正是在学生选择新书这个特定的时候，与下文相连接，引出下文对于这个特定时候给予推荐的这种方式的阐述，同时承接了上文；故选B项。

5．上文“With varied activities competing for students’ time and attention, it can be difficult to encourage youngsters to read(由于各种活动争夺学生的时间和注意力，因此很难鼓励年轻人阅读)”讲述了由于学生平时要参加各种活动可能没有时间和经历来阅读；下文“Teachers who make independent reading a daily part of the classroom experience and find creative ways to motivate their students may be on the way to writing a success story.(那些将独立阅读作为日常课堂体验的一部分，并找到创造性方法激励学生的教师，可能正走在写成功故事的道路上)”提到了如果教师找到创造性的方法来激励学生去阅读，那这个教师是成功的，其实就在强调阅读对于学生的重要性；选项E “However, there is little doubt that reading can help with students’ studies(然而，毫无疑问，阅读可以帮助学生学习)”与上文构成转折，意在表明虽然由于各种活动让学生没有时间和精力阅读，但是毫无疑问，阅读是可以帮助学生学习的，即阅读对于学生是有用的重要的，与下文内容主旨相符，都在强调阅读对于学生的重要性；故选E项。
