Chinese people love food made of flour, whether it be dumplings, or flatbread. In the hands of skilled artisans(手艺人), flour is made into lovely models of people or animals to be enjoyed and played with, which brings a unique kind of pleasure. This art form is called dough figurine(面塑). Among the various art styles of dough figurines, Beijing’s Dough Figurine Lang is a unique folk art, which is filled with the rich history and customs of the capital city. Their delicate and lovely handicrafts are storytellers of old and new Beijing. In 2008, it was included in the list of national intangible cultural heritage.
It was created by Lang Shao’an. Most of the dough figurines are animals and characters from legends, historical stories, and local operas. The finished product is either put at the end of a thin stick, or on a table for display. Some are mostly for children to eat or play with, with simple forms and vivid decorations, while some are delicate pieces of artwork for display only. For this reason, during the making process, they are often mixed with additives(添加剂)to prevent them from breaking up, being eaten by insects or growing moldy. Over the course of his long career, Lang Shao’an developed a set of skilled fingers with an elegant artistic sense.
Lang Jiaziyu, born in 1995, is the third-generation inheritor of Dough Figurine Lang. When he was 15, he created Beijing Olympic Mascot-shaped dough figurines which were highly praised. He looks a bit more fashionable than other folk artisans. In his skilled hands, pop culture icons such as figures based on Marvel comics characters and Chinese mythological figure Nezha with smoky makeup, are resonating with young people.
Like most of the other intangible cultural heritage handicrafts in China, Dough Figurine Lang does not get as much attention from the public. Many young people are unwilling to take the time to master a skill that does not make money, which has led to a decline in the number of those who are devoted to the handicraft. Good handicrafts need the devotion of artisans from one generation to another.
4. Why do artisans add additives to dough figurines?
A. To make dough figurines taste good.
B. To keep colors brighter and last longer.
C. To help shape dough into various forms.
D. To better preserve the finished products.
5. Which of the following is close in meaning of the underlined phrase?
A. are ignored by. B. are well accepted by.
C. are concerned with. D. are familiar with.
6. What is the best title of the passage?
A. A Traditional Chinese Culture. B. History and Customs of Beijing.
C. Dough Figurine and Its Inheritance. D. An Intangible Cultural Heritage.
7. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To call on people to master a skill.
B. To appeal to people to value this folk art.
C. To teach people ways to appreciate the handicraft.
D. To persuade people to protect national cultural heritage.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了独特的北京民间艺术面人郎及其传承。面人郎充满了首都丰富的历史和习俗。他们精致可爱的手工艺品讲述着新旧北京的故事。2008年被列入国家级非物质文化遗产名录。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“For this reason, during the making process, they are often mixed with additives(添加剂)to prevent them from breaking up, being eaten by insects or growing moldy.（因此，在制作过程中，它们经常与添加剂混合，以防止分解、被昆虫吃掉或发霉。）”可知，面人要添加添加剂的原因是以便更好地保存成品。故选D。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据上文“He looks a bit more fashionable than other folk artisans. In his skilled hands, pop culture icons such as figures based on Marvel comics characters and Chinese mythological figure Nezha with smoky makeup,（他看起来比其他民间艺人更时髦。在他娴熟的双手中，流行文化偶像，如漫威漫画人物和中国神话人物哪吒烟熏妆的形象）”可知，这些流行文化偶像深受年轻人的喜爱，能与年轻人产生共鸣。可推知，划线短语此处为“受某人喜爱”A. are ignored by被……忽视； B. are well accepted by受……好评；C. are concerned with与……有关；D. are familiar with对……熟悉。故选B。
【6题详解】
主旨大意题。文章第一段引出话题北京民间艺术面人郎，第二段介绍其创始人，第三段介绍其第三代继承人，第四段指出这一民间艺术的现状。C项Dough Figurine and Its Inheritance“面人郎及其传承”最能概括文章主旨。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。阅读全文以及根据最后一段“ Like most of the other intangible cultural heritage handicrafts in China, Dough Figurine Lang does not get as much attention from the public. Many young people are unwilling to take the time to master a skill that does not make money, which has led to a decline in the number of those who are devoted to the handicraft. Good handicrafts need the devotion of artisans from one generation to another.（像中国大多数其他非物质文化遗产手工艺品一样，面人郎并没有得到公众的关注。很多年轻人不愿意花时间去掌握一项不赚钱的技能，这导致了从事这门手艺的人数下降。好的手工艺品需要一代又一代工匠的奉献。）”可知，本文主要介绍的是北京面人郎这种传统的中国民间艺术。所以目的是呼吁人们重视这种民间艺术。故选B。
C
Wildlife corridors are like safe highways for animals. These untouched areas let species move about freely to feed, breed, and migrate (迁徙) without disturbance from humans. The Vital Ground Foundation and Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative (Y2Y) bought 80 acres in northwestern Montana. The area was bought from a landowner committed to protecting open spaces over development. The area will be used to maintain wildlife habitats for species throughout the state’s northwestern corner and is particularly important for grizzly bears.
“In 2015, new science on grizzly bear connectivity identified this area as one of a few remaining connection points for grizzly bears in northwest Montana,” says Grossman, U.S. program manager for Y2Y. “Last year, the opportunity became available to work with the landowner in the area. With the rapid development of the real estate (房地产) market, we knew we needed to act quickly.”
“At the local area, this project conserves open spaces for wildlife movement,” Grossman says. She points out that grizzly bears are an umbrella species. This means that if they are doing well, most other wildlife in the ecosystem is also doing well. Bears can help us conserve habitats for a full range of plants and animals that make a functioning ecosystem that all of us need to survive. That is why this project focuses on the needs of bears.
It often becomes more difficult to preserve wildlife corridors like these. In Montana where this land has been purchased, property values have increased and land has been sold and developed quickly. Once development happens, it’s harder to conserve land and keep areas connected. “However, this change in the real estate market has led to some landowners reflecting on their values and vision for the community. In this way, it creates an opportunity for us to be able to work with people who want to see these areas remain high quality wildlife habitats, rural and undeveloped,” Grossman says.
8. Why did the authorities buy the land in northwestern Montana?
A. To help develop the local economy.
B. To better preserve wildlife habitats.
C. To construct highways in rural areas.
D. To prevent endangered species migrating.
9. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2?
A. To explain a natural phenomenon.
B. To provide some advice for readers.
C. To add some background information.
D. To introduce a new topic for discussion.
10. Why does this project concentrate on protecting grizzly bears?
A. Their population has declined sharply.
B. They play a critical role in the ecosystem.
C. They affect living habits of other wildlife.
D. Human activities harm them seriously.
11. What affects wildlife corridors according to Paragraph 4?
A. Land development. B. Community structure.
C. Damaged ecosystem. D. Geographic locations.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述了，野生动物走廊就像动物的安全公路，因此地面基金会和黄石至育空保护倡议（Y2Y）在蒙大拿州西北部购买了80英亩土地，致力于在开发过程中保护开放空间，该地区将用于维护该州西北角野生动物栖息地。
8题详解】
细节理解题。由第一段中的“The area will be used to maintain wildlife habitats for species throughout the state’s northwestern corner and is particularly important for grizzly bears. (该地区将用于维护该州西北角野生动物栖息地，对灰熊尤为重要)”可知，当局购买蒙大拿州西北部的土地是为了更好地保护野生动物栖息地。故选B项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。由第二段“'In 2015, new science on grizzly bear connectivity identified this area as one of a few remaining connection points for grizzly bears in northwest Montana,' says Grossman, U.S. program manager for Y2Y. 'Last year, the opportunity became available to work with the landowner in the area. With the rapid development of the real estate (房地产) market, we knew we needed to act quickly.'(“2015年，关于灰熊连通性的新科学发现，该地区是蒙大拿州西北部灰熊仅存的几个连通点之一，”Y2Y美国项目经理格罗斯曼说。“去年，我们有机会与该地区的土地所有者合作。随着房地产市场的快速发展，我们知道我们需要迅速采取行动。”)”可知，第二段主要介绍两件事：一是该区域是蒙大拿州西北部仅剩的一些灰熊连接点之一；二是随着房地产市场的迅速发展，保护行动迫在眉睫。因此，该段主要为补充背景信息。故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。由第三段中的“This means that if they are doing well, most other wildlife in the ecosystem is also doing well. Bears can help us conserve habitats for a full range of plants and animals that make a functioning ecosystem that all of us need to survive. (这意味着，如果灰熊进展好，生态系统中的大多数其他野生动物也会进展好。灰熊可以帮助我们保护各种动植物的栖息地，这些动植物构成了我们所有人生存所需的正常生态系统)”可知，这个项目专注于保护灰熊，是因为它们在生态系统中发挥着关键作用。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。由第四段中的“In Montana where this land has been purchased, property values have increased and land has been sold and developed quickly. Once development happens, it’s harder to conserve land and keep areas connected. (在购买这片土地的蒙大拿州，房地产价格上涨，土地被出售并迅速开发。一旦开发完成，就更难保护土地和保持区域连接)”可知，土地开发影响保护动物栖息地，因此推断对野生动物走廊主要的影响因素是土地开发。故选A项。
D
Giant pandas are among the most lovable animals alive today. Unlike their relatives, such as the polar bear, pandas don’t eat meat but survive on a diet of only bamboo. So why and how have pandas abandoned their taste for meat to pick up a vegetarian diet?
Pandas today don’t eat meat. However, they’ve kept much of their meat-eating adaptations from times past. Their digestive systems have not changed much from their meat-eating days. Out of the huge 12. 5 kg of bamboo they eat in a single day, only about 17% of it is digested. To survive, pandas eat large amounts of bamboo while having a low-metabolic (新陈代谢的)，lazy lifestyle to make up for the poor energy return.
The giant panda’s shift to a vegetarian diet is in line with the inactivation of a specific gene-Taslrl, which provides them with the ability to taste certain amino acids (氨基酸) abundant in meat. Its inactivation in pandas would lead to their dietary change.
Pandas have evolved to a great degree to cope with their relatively recent bamboo-eating lifestyle. Pandas must seize long and thin pieces of bamboo shoots. To assist with this, they have developed a long “fake-thumb” (伪拇指). So giant pandas have six fingers in each paw which provides better support for them to seize object such as bamboo in one paw quickly. Researchers have found that the surface of the panda’s tongue is different. While other bears and many meat-eating animals have smooth tongues, pandas have evolved tiny projections on the surface of their tongues that serve to file down food. This is especially useful for pandas as they remove the outer cover of bamboo.
Time will tell if pandas will adapt and survive, go back to eating meat, or disappear in the wild. Whatever the future holds, we can be grateful that, for the time being, we get to share our planet with these adorable animals.
12. Why are the numbers mentioned in paragraph 2?
A. To illustrate the variety of food.
B. To represent the evolutionary rule of pandas.
C. To describe the changes of living environment.
D. To show the ineffectiveness of digestive system.
13. What caused pandas’ change in diet?
A. The low-metabolic ability.
B. The amino acids in meat.
C. The Taslrl gene’s inactivation.
D. The supplies of bamboo.
14. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Seizing bamboo shoots.
B. The low energy return.
C. Developing more fingers.
D. The vegetarian diet.
15. Which aspect of pandas does paragraph 4 focus on?
A. The preference for bamboo.
B. The evolutionary feature in eating.
C. The unique lifestyle.
D. The special appearance.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要分析了熊猫饮食方面进化原因及特征。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Out of the huge 12.5 kg of bamboo they eat in a single day, only about 17% of it is digested. (它们一天要吃掉12.5公斤的竹子，其中只有17%能被消化。)”可知，熊猫进食量很大，但是吸收量很小，通过数据说明熊猫的消化系统效率很低。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The giant panda’s shift to a vegetarian diet is in line with the inactivation of a specific gene-Taslrl, which provides them with the ability to taste certain amino acids (氨基酸) abundant in meat.(大熊猫转向素食与特定基因Taslrl的失活相一致，该基因使它们能够品尝肉类中富含的某些氨基酸。)”可知，熊猫的饮食转变是由Taslrl基因失活引起的。故选C项。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“Pandas must seize long and thin pieces of bamboo shoots.(大熊猫必须抓住又长又细的竹笋。)”可知，熊猫需要抓住又长又细的竹笋，结合下文中的“they have developed a long “fake-thumb” (伪拇指).(他们发展出了一个长长的“伪拇指”。)”可知，熊猫为了抓住竹笋，所以长出了伪拇指，由此可判断，代词“this”指代的是“为了抓住竹笋”。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Pandas have evolved to a great degree to cope with their relatively recent bamboo-eating lifestyle. Pandas must seize long and thin pieces of bamboo shoots.(大熊猫已经进化到很大程度，以应对它们相对较新的吃竹子的生活方式。大熊猫必须抓住又长又细的竹笋。)”和“Researchers have found that the surface of the panda’s tongue is different. While other bears and many meat-eating animals have smooth tongues, pandas have evolved tiny projections on the surface of their tongues that serve to file down food.( 研究人员发现，大熊猫舌头的表面是不同的。虽然其他熊类和许多食肉动物的舌头都很光滑，但熊猫的舌头表面已经进化出了微小的突起，可以把食物锉下来。)”可知，为了应对新的饮食方式的改变，熊猫的爪子进化出“伪拇指”，同时研究也发现，熊猫的舌头表面为了进食，进化出很多微小的突起物，由此可以推断，第四段主要介绍的是熊猫饮食进化的特点，均是为了适应新的饮食的变化。故选B项。

第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分，满分15分)
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
The Chinese began to accept Western medicine as early as the beginning of this century, ____41____ Chinese medicine is still in doubt among Western people. To them, Chinese medicine, like ancient China, is mysterious and beyond ____42____(believe).
Chinese medicines, most of ____43____(they) being originally natural herbs, are made through having these materials simmered, roasted, or fried without having specific standards. This is the main reason for ____44____ they’re not recognized internationally. Chinese medicines usually appear in ____45____ form of pills, tablets and most commonly herb teas. They are used ____46____ account of their power in aid of recovery and they tend to produce long-term effects. They might be ____47____(slow) in curing the patient of the disease, but they have less serious side effects even if ____48____(take) frequently, for each medicinal herb is prescribed (开处方) for the benefit of the patient, causing no harm to the liver or the kidneys.
It is obvious that no matter how strange they may seem to Westerners, Chinese medicines ____49____(use) for thousands of years, proving to be extremely effective. It’s simply up to us _____50_____(promote) the precious heritage.
【答案】41. but##yet
42. belief 43. them
44. which 45. the
46. on 47. slower
48. taken 49. have been used
50. to promote
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了西方人对中药的看法、中药的制作过程、效果及影响。
【41题详解】
考查连词。句意：早在本世纪初，中国人就开始接受西药，但中药仍然受到西方人的怀疑。上下文之间为转折关系，所以应用but或yet连接两个并列句。故填but或yet。
【42题详解】
考查名词。句意：对他们来说，中药和古代中国一样，是神秘且令人难以置信的。根据空前的介词beyond可知，空处应用名词。beyond belief为固定搭配，意为“令人难以置信”。故填belief。
【43题详解】
考查代词。句意：中药，其大部分原是天然草药，是在没有特定标准的情况下，通过煨、烤或炒这些材料制成的。空前有介词of，所以这里应用代词的宾格。故填them。
44题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：这是它们不被国际承认的主要原因。当先行词为reason，且定语从句中缺少原因状语时，应用for which，why或that引导从句。分析句子结构，这里是for which引导的定语从句。故填which。
【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意：中药通常以药丸、片剂和最常见的草药茶的形式出现。根据空后的“of pills, tablets and most commonly herb teas”可知，这里表示特指的“形式”，应用定冠词。故填the。
【46题详解】
考查介词。句意：它们因有助于恢复而被使用，而且它们往往会产生长期影响。on account of意为“因为”，为固定短语。故填on。
【47题详解】
考查形容词的比较级。句意：它们在治疗病人的疾病方面可能比较缓慢，但即使经常服用，它们的副作用也不那么严重，因为开的每种草药都是为了患者，不会对肝脏或肾脏造成伤害。根据下文中的“less serious”可知，与“更不严重”形成对应的是“比较缓慢”，所以应用slow的比较级slower。故填slower。
【48题详解】
考查过去分词。句意参考上题。分析句子结构可知，but后的分句是一个主从复合句，含有even if引导的让步状语从句，从句中省略了和主句主语一致的主语和be动词。逻辑主语they(指代中药)和take之间是动宾关系，应用被动语态，所以空处应用过去分词。该从句补充完整应为even if they are taken frequently。故填taken。
【49题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意：很明显，无论在西方人看来多么奇怪，中药已经被使用了数千年，事实证明是非常有效的。分析句子结构，空处充当谓语。根据句中的“for thousands of years”可知，这里应用现在完成时。主语Chinese medicines和use之间为动宾关系，所以应用被动语态。故填have been used。
【50题详解】
考查不定式。句意：推广我们宝贵的遗产是我们的职责。it is up to sb. to do sth.为固定句型，意为“做某事是某人的职责”，其中it为形式主语，不定式为真正的主语。故填to promote。

第一节 短文改错(共10小题;每小题1分, 满分10分)
51. 假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。

删除：把多余的词用斜线（\）划掉。
修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。

2.只允许修改10处，多者（从第11处起）不计分。
After school, was about to enter into my apartment when I saw a little dirty dog lie beside the dustbin. He looked extremely weak. Immediately the homeless dog filled me of sympathy. So I decided to take him home. I gave him some food and a bath. After the bath he looked energy and refreshed. What a lovely dog!
When my parents got home, I asked that I could keep the dog. To my surprised and joy, they agreed. Up to now, he has become member of our family and everyone had enjoyed his company. Looked at the cute and happy dog today, I realize that I was right to help him. I offered him a shelter and he brought ourselves great happiness and laughter.
【答案】1.去掉into
2. lie→lying
3. of→with
4. energy→energetic
5. that→if或whether
6. surprised→surprise
7. 在member前加a
8. had→has
9 Looked→Looking
10. ourselves→us
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】本文是一篇记叙文。文中讲述了作者收留一只流浪狗的事情。
【小题1】考查动词。句意：放学后，正准备进入我的公寓时，我看到一只小脏狗躺在垃圾箱旁边。enter相当于come/go into，本身就含有into，所以此处是多余的。故去掉into。
【小题2】考查非谓语动词。句意：根据语境可知，此处表示看到一只狗正躺在垃圾桶旁边，应用see sb. doing sth.“看见某人正在做某事”。故lie改为lying。
【小题3】考查介词。句意：这个无家可归的狗让我立刻充满了同情。固定短语fill sb. with sth.或be filled with sth.“某人充满了某物”。故of改为with。
【小题4】考查形容词。句意：洗完澡后，他显得精力充沛，神清气爽。根据前面的looked可知，感官系动词后面应该接形容词表示状态。故energy改为energetic。
【小题5】考查宾语从句。句意：当我父母回家的时候，我问他们是否我能养这条狗。此处是宾语从句，根据句意可知，应用连接词if或whether “是否”。故that改为if或whether。
【小题6】考查名词。句意：令我又惊又喜的是，他们同意了。固定用法to one’s +名词“令某人……的是”。后面的名词joy也是提示。故surprised改为surprise。
【小题7】考查冠词。句意：到现在，他已经成为我们家的一员，大家都喜欢他的陪伴。member是可数名词，此处泛指“我们家的一员”，且member是以辅音音素开头的词，应用不定冠词a。故在member前加a。
【小题8】考查动词时态。句意：到现在，他已经成为我们家的一员，大家都喜欢他的陪伴。根据前面的Up to now和has become可知，此处应用现在完成时。故had改为has。
【小题9】考查非谓语动词。句意：看着这只可爱又快乐的小狗，我意识到我帮助他是对的。look与主语I之间是主动关系，应用现在分词，作状语，表主动。故Looked改为Looking。
【小题10】考查代词。句意：我给他提供了一个庇护所，他给我们带来了巨大的快乐和笑声。根据句意可知，他给我们带来了很多快乐和笑声。如果动作的发出者和承受者是同一个人时，才会用反身代词，本句的主语是他，宾语是我们。故ourselves改为us。

Chinese people love food made of flour, whether it be dumplings, or flatbread. In the hands of skilled artisans(手艺人), flour is made into lovely models of people or animals to be enjoyed and played with, which brings a unique kind of pleasure. This art form is called dough figurine(面塑). Among the various art styles of dough figurines, Beijing’s Dough Figurine Lang is a unique folk art, which is filled with the rich history and customs of the capital city. Their delicate and lovely handicrafts are storytellers of old and new Beijing. In 2008, it was included in the list of national intangible cultural heritage.
It was created by Lang Shao’an. Most of the dough figurines are animals and characters from legends, historical stories, and local operas. The finished product is either put at the end of a thin stick, or on a table for display. Some are mostly for children to eat or play with, with simple forms and vivid decorations, while some are delicate pieces of artwork for display only. For this reason, during the making process, they are often mixed with additives(添加剂)to prevent them from breaking up, being eaten by insects or growing moldy. Over the course of his long career, Lang Shao’an developed a set of skilled fingers with an elegant artistic sense.
Lang Jiaziyu, born in 1995, is the third-generation inheritor of Dough Figurine Lang. When he was 15, he created Beijing Olympic Mascot-shaped dough figurines which were highly praised. He looks a bit more fashionable than other folk artisans. In his skilled hands, pop culture icons such as figures based on Marvel comics characters and Chinese mythological figure Nezha with smoky makeup, are resonating with young people.
Like most of the other intangible cultural heritage handicrafts in China, Dough Figurine Lang does not get as much attention from the public. Many young people are unwilling to take the time to master a skill that does not make money, which has led to a decline in the number of those who are devoted to the handicraft. Good handicrafts need the devotion of artisans from one generation to another.
4. Why do artisans add additives to dough figurines?
A. To make dough figurines taste good.
B. To keep colors brighter and last longer.
C. To help shape dough into various forms.
D. To better preserve the finished products.
5. Which of the following is close in meaning of the underlined phrase?
A. are ignored by. B. are well accepted by.
C. are concerned with. D. are familiar with.
6. What is the best title of the passage?
A. A Traditional Chinese Culture. B. History and Customs of Beijing.
C. Dough Figurine and Its Inheritance. D. An Intangible Cultural Heritage.
7. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To call on people to master a skill.
B. To appeal to people to value this folk art.
C. To teach people ways to appreciate the handicraft.
D. To persuade people to protect national cultural heritage.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. C 7. B

Wildlife corridors are like safe highways for animals. These untouched areas let species move about freely to feed, breed, and migrate (迁徙) without disturbance from humans. The Vital Ground Foundation and Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative (Y2Y) bought 80 acres in northwestern Montana. The area was bought from a landowner committed to protecting open spaces over development. The area will be used to maintain wildlife habitats for species throughout the state’s northwestern corner and is particularly important for grizzly bears.
“In 2015, new science on grizzly bear connectivity identified this area as one of a few remaining connection points for grizzly bears in northwest Montana,” says Grossman, U.S. program manager for Y2Y. “Last year, the opportunity became available to work with the landowner in the area. With the rapid development of the real estate (房地产) market, we knew we needed to act quickly.”
“At the local area, this project conserves open spaces for wildlife movement,” Grossman says. She points out that grizzly bears are an umbrella species. This means that if they are doing well, most other wildlife in the ecosystem is also doing well. Bears can help us conserve habitats for a full range of plants and animals that make a functioning ecosystem that all of us need to survive. That is why this project focuses on the needs of bears.
It often becomes more difficult to preserve wildlife corridors like these. In Montana where this land has been purchased, property values have increased and land has been sold and developed quickly. Once development happens, it’s harder to conserve land and keep areas connected. “However, this change in the real estate market has led to some landowners reflecting on their values and vision for the community. In this way, it creates an opportunity for us to be able to work with people who want to see these areas remain high quality wildlife habitats, rural and undeveloped,” Grossman says.
8. Why did the authorities buy the land in northwestern Montana?
A. To help develop the local economy.
B. To better preserve wildlife habitats.
C. To construct highways in rural areas.
D. To prevent endangered species migrating.
9. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2?
A. To explain a natural phenomenon.
B. To provide some advice for readers.
C. To add some background information.
D. To introduce a new topic for discussion.
10. Why does this project concentrate on protecting grizzly bears?
A. Their population has declined sharply.
B. They play a critical role in the ecosystem.
C. They affect living habits of other wildlife.
D. Human activities harm them seriously.
11. What affects wildlife corridors according to Paragraph 4?
A. Land development. B. Community structure.
C. Damaged ecosystem. D. Geographic locations.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. B 11. A
【解析】

8题详解】
细节理解题。由第一段中的“The area will be used to maintain wildlife habitats for species throughout the state’s northwestern corner and is particularly important for grizzly bears. (该地区将用于维护该州西北角野生动物栖息地，对灰熊尤为重要)”可知，当局购买蒙大拿州西北部的土地是为了更好地保护野生动物栖息地。故选B项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。由第二段“'In 2015, new science on grizzly bear connectivity identified this area as one of a few remaining connection points for grizzly bears in northwest Montana,' says Grossman, U.S. program manager for Y2Y. 'Last year, the opportunity became available to work with the landowner in the area. With the rapid development of the real estate (房地产) market, we knew we needed to act quickly.'(“2015年，关于灰熊连通性的新科学发现，该地区是蒙大拿州西北部灰熊仅存的几个连通点之一，”Y2Y美国项目经理格罗斯曼说。“去年，我们有机会与该地区的土地所有者合作。随着房地产市场的快速发展，我们知道我们需要迅速采取行动。”)”可知，第二段主要介绍两件事：一是该区域是蒙大拿州西北部仅剩的一些灰熊连接点之一；二是随着房地产市场的迅速发展，保护行动迫在眉睫。因此，该段主要为补充背景信息。故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。由第三段中的“This means that if they are doing well, most other wildlife in the ecosystem is also doing well. Bears can help us conserve habitats for a full range of plants and animals that make a functioning ecosystem that all of us need to survive. (这意味着，如果灰熊进展好，生态系统中的大多数其他野生动物也会进展好。灰熊可以帮助我们保护各种动植物的栖息地，这些动植物构成了我们所有人生存所需的正常生态系统)”可知，这个项目专注于保护灰熊，是因为它们在生态系统中发挥着关键作用。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。由第四段中的“In Montana where this land has been purchased, property values have increased and land has been sold and developed quickly. Once development happens, it’s harder to conserve land and keep areas connected. (在购买这片土地的蒙大拿州，房地产价格上涨，土地被出售并迅速开发。一旦开发完成，就更难保护土地和保持区域连接)”可知，土地开发影响保护动物栖息地，因此推断对野生动物走廊主要的影响因素是土地开发。故选A项。

Giant pandas are among the most lovable animals alive today. Unlike their relatives, such as the polar bear, pandas don’t eat meat but survive on a diet of only bamboo. So why and how have pandas abandoned their taste for meat to pick up a vegetarian diet?
Pandas today don’t eat meat. However, they’ve kept much of their meat-eating adaptations from times past. Their digestive systems have not changed much from their meat-eating days. Out of the huge 12. 5 kg of bamboo they eat in a single day, only about 17% of it is digested. To survive, pandas eat large amounts of bamboo while having a low-metabolic (新陈代谢的)，lazy lifestyle to make up for the poor energy return.
The giant panda’s shift to a vegetarian diet is in line with the inactivation of a specific gene-Taslrl, which provides them with the ability to taste certain amino acids (氨基酸) abundant in meat. Its inactivation in pandas would lead to their dietary change.
Pandas have evolved to a great degree to cope with their relatively recent bamboo-eating lifestyle. Pandas must seize long and thin pieces of bamboo shoots. To assist with this, they have developed a long “fake-thumb” (伪拇指). So giant pandas have six fingers in each paw which provides better support for them to seize object such as bamboo in one paw quickly. Researchers have found that the surface of the panda’s tongue is different. While other bears and many meat-eating animals have smooth tongues, pandas have evolved tiny projections on the surface of their tongues that serve to file down food. This is especially useful for pandas as they remove the outer cover of bamboo.
Time will tell if pandas will adapt and survive, go back to eating meat, or disappear in the wild. Whatever the future holds, we can be grateful that, for the time being, we get to share our planet with these adorable animals.
12. Why are the numbers mentioned in paragraph 2?
A. To illustrate the variety of food.
B. To represent the evolutionary rule of pandas.
C. To describe the changes of living environment.
D. To show the ineffectiveness of digestive system.
13. What caused pandas’ change in diet?
A. The low-metabolic ability.
B. The amino acids in meat.
C. The Taslrl gene’s inactivation.
D. The supplies of bamboo.
14. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Seizing bamboo shoots.
B. The low energy return.
C. Developing more fingers.
D. The vegetarian diet.
15. Which aspect of pandas does paragraph 4 focus on?
A. The preference for bamboo.
B. The evolutionary feature in eating.
C. The unique lifestyle.
D. The special appearance.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要分析了熊猫饮食方面进化原因及特征。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Out of the huge 12.5 kg of bamboo they eat in a single day, only about 17% of it is digested. (它们一天要吃掉12.5公斤的竹子，其中只有17%能被消化。)”可知，熊猫进食量很大，但是吸收量很小，通过数据说明熊猫的消化系统效率很低。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The giant panda’s shift to a vegetarian diet is in line with the inactivation of a specific gene-Taslrl, which provides them with the ability to taste certain amino acids (氨基酸) abundant in meat.(大熊猫转向素食与特定基因Taslrl的失活相一致，该基因使它们能够品尝肉类中富含的某些氨基酸。)”可知，熊猫的饮食转变是由Taslrl基因失活引起的。故选C项。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“Pandas must seize long and thin pieces of bamboo shoots.(大熊猫必须抓住又长又细的竹笋。)”可知，熊猫需要抓住又长又细的竹笋，结合下文中的“they have developed a long “fake-thumb” (伪拇指).(他们发展出了一个长长的“伪拇指”。)”可知，熊猫为了抓住竹笋，所以长出了伪拇指，由此可判断，代词“this”指代的是“为了抓住竹笋”。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Pandas have evolved to a great degree to cope with their relatively recent bamboo-eating lifestyle. Pandas must seize long and thin pieces of bamboo shoots.(大熊猫已经进化到很大程度，以应对它们相对较新的吃竹子的生活方式。大熊猫必须抓住又长又细的竹笋。)”和“Researchers have found that the surface of the panda’s tongue is different. While other bears and many meat-eating animals have smooth tongues, pandas have evolved tiny projections on the surface of their tongues that serve to file down food.( 研究人员发现，大熊猫舌头的表面是不同的。虽然其他熊类和许多食肉动物的舌头都很光滑，但熊猫的舌头表面已经进化出了微小的突起，可以把食物锉下来。)”可知，为了应对新的饮食方式的改变，熊猫的爪子进化出“伪拇指”，同时研究也发现，熊猫的舌头表面为了进食，进化出很多微小的突起物，由此可以推断，第四段主要介绍的是熊猫饮食进化的特点，均是为了适应新的饮食的变化。故选B项。

【答案】41. but##yet
42. belief 43. them
44. which 45. the
46. on 47. slower
48. taken 49. have been used
50. to promote
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了西方人对中药的看法、中药的制作过程、效果及影响。
【41题详解】
考查连词。句意：早在本世纪初，中国人就开始接受西药，但中药仍然受到西方人的怀疑。上下文之间为转折关系，所以应用but或yet连接两个并列句。故填but或yet。
【42题详解】
考查名词。句意：对他们来说，中药和古代中国一样，是神秘且令人难以置信的。根据空前的介词beyond可知，空处应用名词。beyond belief为固定搭配，意为“令人难以置信”。故填belief。
【43题详解】
考查代词。句意：中药，其大部分原是天然草药，是在没有特定标准的情况下，通过煨、烤或炒这些材料制成的。空前有介词of，所以这里应用代词的宾格。故填them。
44题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：这是它们不被国际承认的主要原因。当先行词为reason，且定语从句中缺少原因状语时，应用for which，why或that引导从句。分析句子结构，这里是for which引导的定语从句。故填which。
【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意：中药通常以药丸、片剂和最常见的草药茶的形式出现。根据空后的“of pills, tablets and most commonly herb teas”可知，这里表示特指的“形式”，应用定冠词。故填the。
【46题详解】
考查介词。句意：它们因有助于恢复而被使用，而且它们往往会产生长期影响。on account of意为“因为”，为固定短语。故填on。
【47题详解】
考查形容词的比较级。句意：它们在治疗病人的疾病方面可能比较缓慢，但即使经常服用，它们的副作用也不那么严重，因为开的每种草药都是为了患者，不会对肝脏或肾脏造成伤害。根据下文中的“less serious”可知，与“更不严重”形成对应的是“比较缓慢”，所以应用slow的比较级slower。故填slower。
【48题详解】
考查过去分词。句意参考上题。分析句子结构可知，but后的分句是一个主从复合句，含有even if引导的让步状语从句，从句中省略了和主句主语一致的主语和be动词。逻辑主语they(指代中药)和take之间是动宾关系，应用被动语态，所以空处应用过去分词。该从句补充完整应为even if they are taken frequently。故填taken。
【49题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意：很明显，无论在西方人看来多么奇怪，中药已经被使用了数千年，事实证明是非常有效的。分析句子结构，空处充当谓语。根据句中的“for thousands of years”可知，这里应用现在完成时。主语Chinese medicines和use之间为动宾关系，所以应用被动语态。故填have been used。
【50题详解】
考查不定式。句意：推广我们宝贵的遗产是我们的职责。it is up to sb. to do sth.为固定句型，意为“做某事是某人的职责”，其中it为形式主语，不定式为真正的主语。故填to promote。

After school, was about to enter into my apartment when I saw a little dirty dog lie beside the dustbin. He looked extremely weak. Immediately the homeless dog filled me of sympathy. So I decided to take him home. I gave him some food and a bath. After the bath he looked energy and refreshed. What a lovely dog!
When my parents got home, I asked that I could keep the dog. To my surprised and joy, they agreed. Up to now, he has become member of our family and everyone had enjoyed his company. Looked at the cute and happy dog today, I realize that I was right to help him. I offered him a shelter and he brought ourselves great happiness and laughter.
【答案】1.去掉into
2. lie→lying
3. of→with
4. energy→energetic
5. that→if或whether
6. surprised→surprise
7. 在member前加a
8. had→has
9 Looked→Looking
10. ourselves→us
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】本文是一篇记叙文。文中讲述了作者收留一只流浪狗的事情。
【小题1】考查动词。句意：放学后，正准备进入我的公寓时，我看到一只小脏狗躺在垃圾箱旁边。enter相当于come/go into，本身就含有into，所以此处是多余的。故去掉into。
【小题2】考查非谓语动词。句意：根据语境可知，此处表示看到一只狗正躺在垃圾桶旁边，应用see sb. doing sth.“看见某人正在做某事”。故lie改为lying。
【小题3】考查介词。句意：这个无家可归的狗让我立刻充满了同情。固定短语fill sb. with sth.或be filled with sth.“某人充满了某物”。故of改为with。
【小题4】考查形容词。句意：洗完澡后，他显得精力充沛，神清气爽。根据前面的looked可知，感官系动词后面应该接形容词表示状态。故energy改为energetic。
【小题5】考查宾语从句。句意：当我父母回家的时候，我问他们是否我能养这条狗。此处是宾语从句，根据句意可知，应用连接词if或whether “是否”。故that改为if或whether。
【小题6】考查名词。句意：令我又惊又喜的是，他们同意了。固定用法to one’s +名词“令某人……的是”。后面的名词joy也是提示。故surprised改为surprise。
【小题7】考查冠词。句意：到现在，他已经成为我们家的一员，大家都喜欢他的陪伴。member是可数名词，此处泛指“我们家的一员”，且member是以辅音音素开头的词，应用不定冠词a。故在member前加a。
【小题8】考查动词时态。句意：到现在，他已经成为我们家的一员，大家都喜欢他的陪伴。根据前面的Up to now和has become可知，此处应用现在完成时。故had改为has。
【小题9】考查非谓语动词。句意：看着这只可爱又快乐的小狗，我意识到我帮助他是对的。look与主语I之间是主动关系，应用现在分词，作状语，表主动。故Looked改为Looking。
【小题10】考查代词。句意：我给他提供了一个庇护所，他给我们带来了巨大的快乐和笑声。根据句意可知，他给我们带来了很多快乐和笑声。如果动作的发出者和承受者是同一个人时，才会用反身代词，本句的主语是他，宾语是我们。故ourselves改为us。
