A crowd cheered Kunle Adeyanju as he turned off his motorbike engine after completing a tiring 41-day trip. The 44-year-old left London on April 19 and arrived in Nigeria’s commercial center Lagos on Sunday after travelling more than 8, 000 miles across 13 countries. He started the impressive journey to raise funds for Rotary International to deal with polio(小儿麻痹症）in his native Nigeria.
Accompanied by a dozen bikers for the last stretch of the journey from the Republic of Benin , Adeyanju was welcomed by supporters in Ikeja, in central Lagos. Adeyanju, called “Lion Heart” by fans won popularity among the public by posting daily pictures with comments about his journey on social media. At every stop along the way, he was greeted by enthusiastic supporters.
He did face some challenges, like the one in Mali where one of his wheels broke. “I was standing in the middle of the night, alone in a bush, not knowing what to do,without speaking the language,”he said, explaining he had to walk to the nearest village.“Fortunately, the locals helped me. ”Not all of the challenges he faced were solved smoothly.“Mauritania, a country in northwest Africa, was ‘terrible’, ” he said, after he got robbed of hundreds of euros. “The worst experience,” he added.
The former Shell employee self-funded his trip with $ 20, 400 in savings,hoping to raise up to $ 48million for Rotary International. “I have been suffering from a lack of sleep lately because I slept only three to four hours per night. But I feel proud because I finished this challenge,” Adeyanju said just after he arrived, wiping the sweat off his face.

“When I think of England, I think of the queen taking her dogs for a walk in the countryside,” says Carsten Haferkamp, a dog-owning German architect working in London. There may be something in the stereotype. Data from Tractive, a firm that provides GPS tracking for pets, show that Britons walk their dogs more than their European neighbours do.
The British love for dog-walking may have more to do with the walking than the dogs. Britons are big walkers—they came fifth in the world in a study in 2017, the highest in Europe. Dogs provide walkers with company and a purpose, so it may be that walking encourages dog-ownership, rather than vice versa.
But Julien Dugnoille, an expert at Exeter University, suspects dog-walking has a deeper significance. Dogs, he suggests, are a useful aid to a socially awkward nation. “Britons tend to see dog-walking as a rare opportunity to socialise with strangers, to have a chat with strangers and exchange a few jokes and comments about the weather without putting themselves in danger (ie, without being too committed in their interaction).”
A tradition among the British aristocracy (贵族) of owning and training dogs also leads Dr Dugnoile to suspect that dog-walking retains some of its ancient kudos. When people in the park say “Max is very well-behaved,” says Dr Dugnoille, “that is a way to demonstrate mastery in the art of taming(驯养), an advantage over those dog owners who are ‘not in control of their own dog’.”
But it’s not just about showing off, in his view. He believes walking with one’s best friend creates a time and space where dogs and humans meet as species and connect as individuals.
Still, Britons should not congratulate themselves too much on their behavior towards their dog companions, for they are guilty of a universal hypocrisy (虚伪). According to Dr Carri Westgarth of Liverpool University, “People say that a dog needs a walk every day, but they will find reasons why their dog doesn’t need a walk. They’ll say: he’s got company indoors, he’s nervous or he doesn’t like the rain.”
8. What is the purpose of mentioning the queen in paragraph 1?
A. To inform us of a foreigner’s impression of England
B. To show the British devotion to walking dogs
C. To tell us the importance of dog-walking for Europeans
D. To demonstrate the queen’s love for walking with her companion
9. What does Dr Dugnoille most probably agree with?
A. Britons see dogs as protectors from danger.
B. Dog-walking is related to the British culture.
C. Britons prefer to walk rather than walk the dog.
D. Dog-walking is a close link between the British and nature.
10. What does the underlined word “kudos” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Practice. B. Belief. C. Honor. D. Manner.
11. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Love Your Dog, Walk Your Dog B. How Do Britons Walk Their Dogs?
C. Dog-walking, the New Fashion D. Why Do Britons Love to Walk Dogs?
【答案】8. B 9. B 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。讲述了英国人为什么喜欢遛狗，文章引用了几位专家的观点对英国人热爱遛狗的原因进行解释。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段““When I think of England, I think of the queen taking her dogs for a walk in the countryside,” says Carsten Haferkamp, a dog-owning German architect working in London.”（“当我想到英国时，我会想到女王带着她的狗在乡间散步，”在伦敦工作的养狗的德国建筑师卡斯滕·哈弗坎普说。）结合下文，文章具体讲述了英国人喜欢遛狗，可知第一段提到女王是为了表达英国人对遛狗的热爱。故选B项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“But Julien Dugnoille, an expert at Exeter University, suspects dog-walking has a deeper significance. Dogs, he suggests, are a useful aid to a socially awkward nation. “Britons tend to see dog-walking as a rare opportunity to socialise with strangers, to have a chat with strangers and exchange a few jokes and comments about the weather without putting themselves in danger (ie, without being too committed in their interaction).””（但埃克塞特大学（Exeter University）的专家朱利安·达尼耶（Julien Dugnoille）怀疑遛狗有更深层次的意义。他认为，对于一个不善社交的国家来说，狗是一个有用的帮手。“英国人倾向于将遛狗视为难得的与陌生人社交的机会，可以与陌生人聊天，讲几个笑话，聊聊天气，而不会把自己置于危险之中(也就是说，在互动中不会太投入)）可知，Dugnoille博士很可能同意遛狗与英国文化有关。故选B项。
【10题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第四段划线词后句“When people in the park say “Max is very well-behaved,” says Dr Dugnoille, “that is a way to demonstrate mastery in the art of taming, an advantage above those dog owners who are ‘not in control of their own dog’.”（当公园里的人说“麦克斯表现得很好，”达尼耶博士说，“这是一种展示驯养技巧的方式，比那些‘无法控制自己的狗’的狗主人更强”。）结合“A tradition among the British aristocracy (贵族) of owning and training dogs”（英国贵族的传统养狗和训练狗），可知“A tradition among the British aristocracy (贵族) of owning and training dogs also leads Dr Dugnoile to speculate that dog-walking retains some of its ancient kudos.”（英国贵族的传统对养狗和训练狗的研究也让杜格诺伊尔博士推测，遛狗仍保留着一些古老的荣誉。）可知，此处kudos意义为“荣誉”，Honor荣誉，符合题意。故选C项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Data from Tractive, a firm that provides GPS tracking for pets, show that Britons walk their dogs more than their European neighbours do.”（为宠物提供GPS跟踪服务的Tractive公司的数据显示，英国人遛狗比欧洲邻居多。）以及第二段“The British love for dog-walking may have more to do with the walking than the dogs.”（英国人对遛狗的热爱可能与遛狗有关，而不是与狗有关。）结合全文，可知本文讲述了英国人为什么喜欢遛狗，文章引用了几位专家的观点对英国人热爱遛狗的原因进行解释。Why Do Britons Love to Walk Dogs? 为什么英国人喜欢遛狗？符合题意。故选D项。
D
From the loss of wildlife to rising sea levels, we’re all well aware of the problems that climate change could cause.
But while it may seem like such issues won’t affect most of us directly, it looks like future generations could grow up without something that many of us now take for granted: chocolate.
According to an essay published by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, changes to the climate in the regions that produce cacao--the plant from which chocolate is produced--may mean that it will soon become extinct.
Most of the world’s cacao grows in countries close to the equator (赤道), with over half of it growing in the African nations of Ghana and Ivory Coast. It’s predicted that by 2050, climate change will have accelerated the rate at which temperatures in these countries rise, making it extremely difficult for cacao to grow there.
The problem doesn’t lie in increased heat, however, but in lower humidity(湿度), as it’s believed that rainfall will stay at the same level if the temperature rises.
“In other words, as higher temperatures squeeze more water out of soil and plants, it’s unlikely that rainfall will increase enough to offset the moisture (水分) loss, “ Michon Scott, the essay’s author, wrote.
To help fight this problem, researchers from Berkeley University in the US are working on changing the DNA of cacao plants to allow them to survive in dryer conditions by using gene editing technology, according to US News. In the meantime, US company Mars, one of the world’s biggest manufacturers of chocolate products, announced in January that it would spend $1 billion to help reduce the effects of climate change.
“This is a world issue and it requires everyone to work together,” Mars spokesperson Barry Parkin told Business Insider.
The message here is that if we all do our part, we may be able to prevent some of the worst impacts of climate change. Or if we’re unlucky, chocolate will become a thing of the past.
12. What could make it hard for cacao to grow around the equator in the future?
A. the higher temperatures there B. the higher humidity there
C. the increase in rainfall there D. the moisture loss in the soil there
13. What did Barry Parkin suggest?
A. thousand-mile journey begins with the first step. B. Always prepare for a rainy day.
C. United we stand; divided we fall. D. Wish for the best; prepare for the worst.
14. What can we learn from the passage?
A. UC Berkeley is trying to find a substitute for cacao.
B. Cacao can only be found in most African countries.
C. Climate changes can be controlled if we are lucky.
D Mars will financially support the fight against climate changes.
15. What may be the best title of this text?
A. Chocolate could become history B. Work together to fight climate change
C. How do we grow cacao in the future? D. The history of chocolate.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是气候变化可能导致可可树的灭绝，巧克力可能会成为历史。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段的“The problem doesn’t lie in increased heat, however, but in lower humidity, as it’s believed that rainfall will stay at the same level if the temperature rises.（然而，问题并不在于气温升高，而在于湿度较低，因为据信，如果气温升高，降雨量将保持在同一水平。）”和第六段的““In other words, as higher temperatures squeeze more water out of soil and plants, it’s unlikely that rainfall will increase enough to offset the moisture loss, “ Michon Scott, the essay’s author, wrote.（“换句话说，随着高温从土壤和植物中挤出更多的水分，降雨量不太可能增加到足以抵消水分流失的程度，”该论文的作者米琼·斯科特(Michon Scott)写道。）”可知，让可可豆在未来难以在赤道附近生长的原因是那里土壤中的水分流失，故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“The message here is that if we all do our part, we may be able to prevent some of the worst impacts of climate change. Or if we’re unlucky, chocolate will become a thing of the past.（这里传递的信息是，如果我们都尽自己的一份力量，我们也许能够阻止气候变化的一些最糟糕的影响。如果我们运气不好，巧克力就会成为过去式。）”可知，巴里·帕金的建议是我们大家要一起努力，也就是“合则存，分则亡”，故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三段的“In the meantime, US company Mars, one of the world’s biggest manufacturers of chocolate products, announced in January that it would spend $1 billion to help reduce the effects of climate change.（与此同时，全球最大的巧克力产品制造商之一美国玛氏公司于今年1月宣布，将斥资10亿美元帮助减少气候变化的影响。）”可知，Mars将在财政上支持对抗气候变化。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第三段“According to an essay published by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, changes to the climate in the regions that produce cacao--the plant from which chocolate is produced--may mean that it will soon become extinct.（根据美国国家海洋和大气管理局发表的一篇文章，生产可可(巧克力的原料)的地区的气候变化可能意味着可可很快会灭绝。）”可知，本文主要讲的是气候变化可能导致可可树的灭绝，巧克力可能会成为历史，因此最好的题目是A选项“Chocolate could become history（巧克力可能会成为历史）”，故选A。

Last Saturday l went to a bookstore to choose some books but found my wallet going when checking out. I panicked immediate as the wallet was a birthday gift from my best friend. Besides, they contained about 500 dollars, which I had earned by working hard as waiter in a fast food restaurant. However, I quickly left the queue and began to search the area in that I had been reading. Then a girl in her twenty came up to me. It was turned out that she had been waiting for the owner of the wallet. In my delight, I not only get my wallet back but also made a new friend.
【答案】第一处：going改为gone 第二处：immediate改为immediately 第三处：they改为it
第四处：as后加a 第五处：However改为Therefore/Thus/So 第六处：that改为which
第七处：twenty改为twenties 第八处:删除was 第九处：In改为To 第十处：get改为got
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，上周六我去书店买书的时候把朋友送给我的钱包丢了，一个女孩子捡到了钱包一直在等失主认领，我很高兴拿回了钱包，而且我们还成为了好朋友。
【详解】第一处：考查形容词。句意：上周六我去书店选了一些书，但是当我结账的时候，发现钱包不见了。形容词gone意为“不见了”在句中做宾语补足语，所以要把going改为gone。
第二处：考查副词。句意：我立刻就十分慌张，因为这个钱包是最好的朋友给我的生日礼物。形容词通常做定语和表语修饰名词动词，而副词通常做状语修饰形容词、副词、动词或整个句子；本句中使用副词做状语修饰谓语动词panic。所以要把immediate改为immediately。
第三处：考查代词。句意：而且钱包里有500美元，是我在快餐店里做服务员努力工作挣到的工资。句中it知道前句提及的my wallet。而they指代复数名词，所以要把they改为it。
第四处：考查不定冠词。句意：而且钱包里有500美元，是我在快餐店里做服务员努力工作挣到的工资。不定冠词a修饰单数可数名词waiter，所以要在as后加a。
第五处：考查上下文串联。因为这个钱包对我很重要，所以我立刻就在我阅读的地方开始找了起来。上下文是因果关系，而however是转折关系，所以要把However改为Therefore/Thus/So。
第六处：考查定语从句。本题定语从句的先行词是the area，关系代词which指代先行词，做介词in的宾语，关系代词that不能放在介词后面，in that是固定搭配意为“因为”，与句意不符。所以要把that改为which。
第七处：考查固定短语。句意：一个二十多岁的女孩走向了我。介词短语in one’s twenties意为“在某人二十几岁的时候”，这是一个固定搭配，所以要把twenty改为twenties。
第八处：考查语态。句意：原来她一直在等钱包的失主。动词短语turn out意为“结果是，原来是…”，该短语没有被动语态也没有进行时，所以要删除was。
第九处：考查固定短语。句意：让我高兴的是，我不仅拿回了钱包，还交到了一个好朋友。介词短语to one’s delight意为“让某人高兴的是…”，这是一个固定短语，所以要把In改为To。
第十处：考查时态。句意：让我高兴的是，我不仅拿回了钱包，还交到了一个好朋友。根据第一句可知本文叙述上周六发生的事情，全文以一般过去时为主，本句也要使用过去时，所以要把get改为got。
【点睛】本文小题3考查了代词，高考短文改错中代词的考查集中在“指代一致”方面。具体如下：
上下文的人称不一致。如：
Thank you very much for showing them around your city and providing us with the wonderful meals. (them→ us) ［2011大纲］
⑵ 上下文的单复数不一致。如：
…both of them have similar ideas… Otherwise, it is impossible for him to help each other and to make their friendship last long. (him→ them)［2014大纲］
⑶ 上下文的性别不一致。如：
Before her leaving, I prepared a gift to show my best wishes to him. She said… (him→ her) ［2010大纲］
⑷ 人称代词格的误用。如：
Li Ming’s parents invited I to spend two wonderful weeks in Qingdao with them… (I→ me)［2007课标］
⑸ 人称代词、反身代词、疑问代词等的错用。如：
He had a deep voice, which set himself apart from others… (从句主语which是指the voice, 这种声音使“他”与别人分离, 故改himself为him)［2013课标I］
