Abut 1,101 manatees died in Flrida last year, many frm hunger. S last December, gvernment wildlife experts (专家) came up with a plan t give fd t the manatees. They decided t feed them green vegetables like lettuce and cabbage. Rn Mezich, an expert, said, “We’ re making a difference.” S far, they have served up mre than 193,000 punds f lettuce t hungry manatees.

—Oh, really? It must be ________ unusual trip fr him.
A. t; an; aB. /; a; anC. /; a; aD. t; an; an
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意：——西蒙决定乘飞机到国外去欧洲旅行。——哦，真的吗？这对他来说一定是一次不寻常的旅行。
考查冠词。a一个，不定冠词表泛指，用于辅音音素开头的单词前；an不定冠词表泛指，用于元音音素开头的单词前。fly abrad“飞出国”，abrad为副词，其前不用介词t；根据“Eurpean”可知，Eurpean“欧洲的”，为辅音音素开头的单词，其前应用a；根据“unusual”可知，unusual“不寻常的”，为元音音素开头的单词，其前应用an。故选B。
2. My father ges back t Nanjing fr the Spring Festival every year ________ last year because he was busy with his wrk in Changzhu.
A. includingB. such asC. exceptD. befre
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意：除了去年，我父亲每年都回南京过春节，因为他在常州工作很忙。
考查介词用法。including包括；such as例如；except除了；befre在……之前。根据“because he was busy with his wrk in Changzhu”可知，去年他在常州工作很忙，因此没有回南京过春节，因此用介词except，表示除了去年。故选C。
3. Walk less than ten kilmeters ________ r it may hurt yur legs.
A. n timeB. at that timeC. frm time t timeD. at a time
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意：每次步行少于十公里，否则可能会伤到腿。
考查介词短语辨析。n time准时；at that time在那时；frm time t time偶尔；at a time一次，每次。根据“Walk less than ten kilmeters”结合语境可知，此处是建议每次步行少于十公里。故选D。
4. We all thught ________ necessary fr yu t spend as much time as yu can ________ English.
A. that; imprvingB. it is; t imprveC. it; imprveD. it was; imprving
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意：我们都认为对你来说尽可能多地花时间提高英语水平是有必要的。
考查it句型和现在分词作宾补。think+it+形容词+fr sb.+t d sth.是固定结构，表示“认为做某事对于某人来说是……的”，其中it是形式宾语 ，这里描述过去大家的想法，也可用宾语从句，用it was，由此可排除A和C选项；spend+时间/金钱+(in) ding sth.是固定结构，表示“花费时间/金钱做某事”，故选D。
5. —Why are yu lking fr May in a hurry?
—The bss is wndering where she ________ and hw lng she ________ there.
A. has been; has beenB. has gne; has gneC. has been; has gneD. has gne; has been
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】句意：——你为什么急着找May？——老板想知道她去了哪里以及她在那里待了多久。
考查延续性动词和非延续性动词。has gne去了某地；has been去过某地。根据“The bss is wndering where hw lng ”可知，此处是宾语从句，由where引导，has gne作谓语，意为“去了哪里”，第二空，hw lng引导，has been作谓语，there作地点状语，意为“待了多久”，故选D。
6. —Shall we meet at the statin at 8 a.m.?
—In fact we ________. The train ________ until 10 a.m.
A. wn’t; desn’t leaveB. mustn’t; leavesC. needn’t; wn’t leaveD. needn’t; will leave
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】句意：——我们上午8点在车站见面好吗？——事实上，我们不必。火车要到上午10点才开。
考查情态动词辨析以及时态。wn’t不会；mustn’t禁止，表示“不可以”和“不允许”；needn’t没必要。根据“The train … until 10 a.m.”结合语境可知，此处应指火车10点才开，因此应表示不必要8点见面；until 10 a.m.表示将来的时间，句子需用一般将来时。故选C。
7. It’s 5 years ________ we last met. I can’t stp ________ yu.
A. after; t missB. since; missingC. when; missD. since; t miss
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】句意：自从我们上次见面已经过去五年了。我情不自禁地想念你。
考查连词辨析和动名词作宾语。after在……之后；since自……以来；when当……时。It’s +时间段+since+句子，是固定句型，表示“从……以来已经多久了”；can’t stp ding sth.是固定短语，意思是“情不自禁做某事；忍不住做某事”，故选B。

Abut 1,101 manatees died in Flrida last year, many frm hunger. S last December, gvernment wildlife experts (专家) came up with a plan t give fd t the manatees. They decided t feed them green vegetables like lettuce and cabbage. Rn Mezich, an expert, said, “We’ re making a difference.” S far, they have served up mre than 193,000 punds f lettuce t hungry manatees.
Manatees are huge sea animals that nly eat sea grass and ther plants that live in the sea. That’s ne reasn why they’ re smetimes called “sea cws”.
Since 1967, Flrida’s manatees have been n the US gvernment’s list f endangered animals. Mst dangers t manatees cme frm humans. One f the biggest prblems facing the animals are bats. Thusands f manatees were hit r killed by bats. At ne pint, there were nly abut 2,000 manatees left in Flrida. With prtectin, the number increased. In 2016, there were mre than 6,000 manatees.
Hwever, as sea grass began t disappear, the number f manatees keeps ging dwn again. Warming seas with plluted water have created huge grwths f algae (藻) n the cean’s surface. The algae blcks the sunlight that allws the sea grass t grw. In Indian River Lagn, where manatees ften g in the winter, abut 90% f the sea grass beds there have died ff. Flrida will wrk t help restre (恢复) sea grass beds. But that will take time. Scientists still wrry that hundreds mre manatees culd starve this winter.

【导语】本文主要介绍了海牛所面临的问题是饥饿，同时介绍了政府制定了给海牛喂食的计划。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据“Since 1967, Flrida’s manatees have been n the US gvernment’s list f endangered animals.”和“With prtectin, the number increased. In 2016, there were mre than 6,000 manatees.”可知，1967年海牛的数量是比较低的，在政府的保护下，2016年数量有所增长，结合“Hwever, as sea grass began t disappear, the number f manatees keeps ging dwn again.”可知，现在又因为海草的问题，海牛的数量又下降了，故选C。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据“Scientists still wrry that hundreds mre manatees culd starve this winter.”及前文描述可知，海草因为污染导致数量减少，而以海草为生的海牛可能会因为挨饿而死亡，所以starve与t die frm hunger同义。故选A。
【26题详解】
最佳标题题。根据“Abut 1,101 manatees died in Flrida last year, many frm hunger. S last December, gvernment wildlife experts (专家) came up with a plan t give fd t the manatees.”以及通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了海牛所面临的问题是因为没有足够的海草而导致饥饿，同时介绍了政府制定了给海牛喂食的计划，因此选项A“海牛喂养计划”为最佳标题。故选A。
