题目内容
11.People can often see a talking parrot on a TV show,in a movie,or even in someone's home.The parrot has learned (71)to copy (copy) sounds that people make.Dolphins,bats,and some apes also copy sounds.Now we can add elephants(72)to this list of copycats(盲目的模仿者).Dr.Joyce Poole is a zoologist,(73)who studies the sounds of elephants.While she was in Kenya,she would hear strange noises (74)made (make) by Mlaika after sunset.Mlaika was (75)an 8-year-old African elephant (76)and it lived near a highway.
Dr.Poole says that she couldn't tell the difference between Mlaika's call and the (77)distant (distance) truck noise.Why did it copy the sounds of the trucks driving by?Animals that are able to copy sounds may enjoy (78)practicing/practising(practice) new sounds.When they are kept outside of their(79)natural(nature) environment,they may copy unusual sounds.
So far Dr.Poole (80)has spent (spend) 18years with two female Asian elephants.Asian elephants make sounds like birds to talk with one another.
Parrots,dolphins,humans,and elephants show that being a copycat is one way that animals and people make new friends and keep old ones.
分析 文章主要介绍了动物比如鹦鹉、海豚、大象等都具有和人一样的模仿功能.
解答 71.to copy 考查非谓语动词. 根据learn后跟不定式作宾语,learn to do sth.意为"学习做某事",故填to copy.
72.to 考查固定词组. 根据add sth.to sth.把…加到….故填to.
73.who 考查定语从句. 根据先行词是zoologist,定语从句中缺少主语,且是非限制性定语从句,故填who.
74.made 考查非谓语动词. 根据strange noises是make的动作承受者,应用过去分词作定语.故填made.
75.an 考查冠词用法. 8-year-old African elephant的首字母的发音是/ei/,元音音素应用an,故填an.
76.and 考查连词用法.根据空前的Mlaika was an 8-year-old African elephant 和空后的 it lived near a highway.两分句之间是并列关系,可知此处应用并列连词.故填and.
77.distant 考查形容词用法.根据空后是truck noise是名词,应用形容词修饰,故填distant.
78. practicing/practising 考查非谓语动词用法.根据固定搭配enjoy doing,可知此处应用practice的动名词形式作宾语,故填 practicing/practising.
79.natural 考查形容词用法.根据空前的形容词性代词their和空后的名词environment,可知此处应用nature的形容词形式,故填natural.
80.has spent 考查时态.根据空前的so far判断应用现在完成时,故填has spent.
