展开Unit 8 AdventureⅠ.阅读理解A(2019·安徽省合肥市高三第一次教学质量检测)Created by Casey and Shelley Black, the Northern Lights Wildlife Wolf Centre focuses on not only rescuing young abandoned wolves but educating the public. Unlike other centres, you can actually walk with the wolves and have exciting, handson interaction with them here. And so, we gathered on late winter morning to learn, prepare and walk.Scrappy and Flora, our wolves that day, were brought to the centre when only a few days old. “They lived in the house with us for the first several months. We treated them like human babies, fed them and slept with them,” said Shelley. So, they are totally used to people. However, these are wild animals. For that reason, Shelley and Casey explained, the walk is totally on the wolf's terms. “We don't approach them, but if they come up to us, we can touch them.”With all this in mind, we headed for the woods. We were walking on a logging road when suddenly, Flora, all 60 pounds of her, hurried up to me and raised up on her legs. She was almost as tall as me. As she leaned in, put her huge muddy paws on my shoulders and sniffed my face, apparently she was saying hello in wolf talk.We walked farther, maybe half a mile, while Scrappy and Flora dashed in and out of the woods stopping to occasionally roll in the snow, dig for this or that and just play. Then we all headed into the trees to a picturesque (美丽的) stream where the wolves splashed, drank and had a great time.One could point out that this whole adventure was staged (筹划) and quite artificial. But the purpose, Casey and Shelley said, is to explain the wolves' place in the environment and, primarily, to let people know wolves don't have to be universally feared—they really don't hide secretly in the woods just waiting to eat people, but they'd rather avoid people, for the most part.篇章导读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者去北光野狼中心徒步旅行的经历。1.How is the Northern Lights Wildlife Wolf Centre different from others?A.It trains and educates wild wolves.B.It aims to rescue young abandoned wolves.C.It raises wolves for commercial purposes.D.It allows visitors to take a walk with wolves.答案:D 细节理解题。根据第一段第二句中的“Unlike other centres, you can actually walk with the wolves”可知,在北光野狼中心游客能够和狼一起散步,故选D。2.What can be inferred from Shelley and Casey's explanation in Paragraph 2?A.The walk can be potentially dangerous.B.The wolves have lost all their wildness.C.People should get close to the wolves actively.D.The wolves can read people's mind like human babies.答案:A 推理判断题。根据第二段第四、五句可知,尽管狼已完全适应了和人待在一起,但是他们是野生动物;又根据本段最后两句“For that reason, Shelley and Casey explained, the walk is totally on the wolf's terms. ‘We don't approach them, but if they come up to us, we can touch them.’”可推知,和狼散步可能存在潜在的危险。3.Why did Flora behave like that when she saw the author on the logging road?A.To express curiosity. B.To show friendliness.C.To attract attention. D.To seek companionship.答案:B 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句中的“apparently she was saying hello in wolf talk”可知,Flora的举动显然是在用狼的说话方式表达问候,因此B项正确。4.Why do Casey and Shelley organize such an adventure?A.To advertise the centre.B.To publicize wolf hunting.C.To promote environmental protection.D.To clarify some conventional views of wolves.答案:D 推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句“But the purpose ... but they'd rather avoid people, for the most part.”可推知,Casey和Shelley组织这个冒险旅行的目的是澄清一些关于狼的守旧观点。B(2019·湖北名校联盟三模押题第三套)I decided to ski to the North Pole. It was after I saw an advertisement in a newspaper looking for people to join a team to ski 350 miles to the North Pole. Back in 1996, there had never been a woman from the UK who had accomplished this challenge. I wondered what it would be like to survive in temperatures cold enough to freeze your flesh in seconds, so I sent off for the application form.The application form full of pictures of male explores arrived. The words “Are you man enough for the ultimate (极限的) challenge?” made me angry and even more determined to get on the team.Over 500 individuals applied for a place in the team, and the selection process included physical and psychological tests designed to pick the best group. In one test, there was a huge rope ladder we had to climb, and I froze at the top because I have a fear of heights. I thought my hopes were fading as most other applicants sailed past, leaving me behind. But two others helped me over, and later I found out that the organizers were not looking for amazing individuals, but great team players, and this moment had shown them who would take care of others in the team.I had revealed (显示) my weakness, and in a place like the Arctic, you have to be yourself, as there is nowhere to hide. These personalities of asking for help and showing weakness are necessary for women to master.I realized that by being myself, I could succeed. I was selected for the team. I realized that I could achieve more than I ever imagined—more importantly, by sharing my story with others, I could inspire them to take a step into the new world and reveal more of their abilities.篇章导读:本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了作者在英国还没有女性完成探索北极圈挑战的情况下,报名参加了探索北极圈活动,并最终入选为团队一员的故事。在这个过程中作者明白了要正视自己的弱点。5.How did the author react on seeing the advertisement?A.She got cross.

Read on for more specific tips on successfully traveling abroad. Do your research. You need to research where you are going, the flight times and prices for airlines, and which documents you need to take with you. __1__. Some cities really need a week to see what they have to offer. Travel times also need to be taken into consideration. Traveling by train can take longer than traveling by car. __2__. Make sure you have the most uptodate guide-book for the area of the world you intend to visit. Some are updated every year. Others are updated every other year, or every few years. A good guidebook is a $15-20 investment that can save a lot of headache.Understand the basic customs of the area. Before going on the trip, research what is and is not acceptable in your destination. __3__. Remember: some things are okay for locals to do, but not for tourists to do.Learn some basic phrases of the country you are going to. This is just polite. Even if you struggle with it, the locals will appreciate that you've at least tried their language instead of rudely asking “Do you speak English?” If you use the native language to ask for something, expect the reply to be in that language and at normal conversational speed—which is going to be faster than the audio lessons you learned. This is not to say that you shouldn't learn some basic greetings and questions. __4__.Consider leaving basic toiletries (旅行洗漱包) behind. __5__. Nearly every country you'll visit will have basics like toothpaste, deodorant, soap, and contact solution, and you can't carry more than three ounces of any liquid in carry-on luggage, anyway. Carry copies of your prescriptions in case you run out.A.Get a good guidebookB.When you arrive, observe how others act in personC.Plan out your route carefullyD.Don't take everything you think you'll needE.Copy the behaviors of othersF.Don't forget to bring anything for your tripG.You should, however, be ready for the responses篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。国外旅行是一件很令人开心的事,但是要做哪些准备让整个行程更加轻松愉快呢?1.C 本段的第一句Do your research.与C项 “Plan out your route carefully”相呼应,仔细规划你的出行路线,故选C。2.A 根据本段中出现的“guidebook”提示可知,选A。3.B 本段讲要了解所到之地的风俗和行为禁忌,因此刚到的时候,要注意观察其他人的行为,故选B。4.G 本段讲对目的地语言的学习。选项G与设空处前面的句子“This is not to say that you shouldn't learn some basic greetings and questions.”呼应,故选G。5.D D项中的“Don't take everything you think you'll need”与本段第一句中的“leaving ... behind”呼应,均指不要带太多不必要的洗漱用品,故选D。Ⅲ.语法填空(2020·山东师大附中高三第一次模拟考试)There are many great destinations in the UK.
