三、阅读理解（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分）

A

Whales look like the biggest fish in the world, but they are not fish. They belong to mammals(哺乳类动物).People are mammals too, like dogs and cats. That means they do not lay(下) eggs. They have live babies and feed them milk.

Whales are very big. They have lungs(肺) and breathe air. They swim in oceans all over the world. They have large brains and live in family groups. The largest is the blue whale. It grows to be about 100 feet long and weighs(重)about 200 tons!

Do you know how whales get their names? Most whales are often named after how they look. The humpback whale(驼背鲸)was named after its humped back.

Whales use sound to sing and hunt. The sound can help whales find other fish or animals and tell the direction(方向).For example, they send out a sound and then listen. The sound waves come back and give them a picture of the things around them.

26. About mammals, which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. Mammals lay eggs.

B. People are mammals.

C. Mammals have live babies.

D. Mammals feed babies milk.

B

There are many stories about the start of Nian. It is said that Nian was a fierce（凶猛的）monster. Usually it stayed deep in the mountains. But in winter, it couldn't find enough food. So it entered villages to eat whatever it could catch. Villagers became frightened and moved away. Later the people found that Nian was afraid of three things-the red color, the bright fire and the loud noise. After learning this, they thought of how to prevent Nian from entering their villages. Thus, a tradition was established（获得认可） . People had couplets（对联）, lanterns and fireworks for the Spring Festival.

Now most people in the countryside still keep these traditional celebrations. However, the people in cities have used new ways to celebrate the Spring Festival. For example, they don't send out so many greeting cards as before. Instead they usually send short text messages to greet friends on mobile phones. And for safety, fireworks were not allowed in some large cities a few years ago, making the cities much quieter than before. It seems that all Chinese traditions are facing new challenges. Maybe when the children of the next generation grow up, they can only learn about Chinese traditions from books.

31. Long ago, people thought Nian was ______.

A. serious  B. friendly  C. interesting  D. dangerous

32. People set off fireworks s because Nian was afraid of _____.

A. loud noise  B. the red color  C. people  D. animals

33. Now people _____ to greet their friends at the Spring Festival.

A. write letters  B. play cards

C. prefer to use mobile phones  D. send telegraphs

34. Setting off fireworks is not allowed in some large cities in order to _____.

A. make the cities quiet  B. save money

C. keep safe   D. keep clean

35. What does the underlined sentence in the passage mean？

A. Chinese people will not have the Spring Festival any longer.

B. Perhaps Chinese people won't celebrate the Spring Festival in traditional ways.

C. It's clear that Chinese traditions will disappear.

D. Chinese people dislike the Spring Festival.

答案以及解析

一、

1.答案：D

解析：考查非谓语动词辨析。句意：越来越多的青少年视力不好，因此父母亲和老师们都应该采取行动来阻止这种状况变得更糟糕。take actions to do sth意为"采取措施做某事"，本题选择D项。

2.答案：C

解析：考查情态动词的用法。must肯定；can可能，来推测，用于疑问和否定句； might可能，表示肯定推测； mustn't不允许。夏天，华北的天气有可能很热。故选C。

3.答案：C

解析：考查时态和形容词用法。 be going to表示"将来"； space是一个不可数名词，用 little来修饰，little的比较级是less。

4.答案：D

解析：考查动词不定式用法。设空处用动词不定式，表示"目的"。

5.答案：B

解析：考查形容词和名词的用法。"it's+形容词+ for sb+ to do sth"是固定结构，在"the...of..."结构中，定冠词后要用名词。句意：对我来说，理解野生生物的重要性很重要。

6.答案：B

解析：考查介词的用法。 send sth to sb是固定结构，表示"将某物送给某人"； provide sth for sb也是一个固定短语，意为"给某人提供某物"。故选B。

7.答案：D

解析：考查句型和时态的用法。 there be是一个固定结构，时间状语this afternoon表示"将来"，故用一般将来时。故选D。

8.答案：B

点评:非谓语动词的用法比较固定,区别的主要办法一是和被修饰词的关系。一般现在分词和被修饰词是主谓关系,过去分词和被修饰词是动宾关系。二是表示动作状态的不同,现在分词表示正在进行的伴随性动作,过去分词表示发生过的被动的动作,不定式表示具体的将要进行的动作。掌握这两点,基本就能完成此类问题。

考点:考查非谓语动词

14.答案：A

解析：句意：打扰了。美式英语里怎么表达秋季？——Fall。How 询问方式；when询问时间；where询问地点；why询问原因。根据句意，选A。

15.答案：C

解析：试题分析:if 如果,是否;as由于,作为;unless除非,如果不;when既然,当……时。如果他在农场上帮助他的父母,鲍勃许诺帮助参加这场足球比赛。故选C。

点评:连词在句子中主要起联系上下文的作用,他们之间的区别就是表示逻辑关系的不同,所以在解题时先要理解上下文含义,然后根据上下文逻辑关系选择合适的连词。连词的用法都比较多,语义之间还有交叉,熟记其基本应用规则,了解其区别,注意固定搭配对象,是做好此类题型的关键。

I am interested in reading about wildlife and I quite understand the importance of protecting wildlife. I want to do something to help wildlife and protect the nature.

I will be very happy if I can become a member of your club. You can call me on 010—8255668 or e-mail me at Helen @163.com.
