题目内容

【题目】阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Meilun and Meihuan, two Chinese pandas born in the US, have been back in China. However, they have not got rid of their old habits; they still prefer American crackers（饼干）to Chinese bread, and know English 【1】 (well) than Chinese.

The pandas arrived at Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding on Nov. 5. Meilun is vey lively, often 【2】 (jump) onto the roof and hanging upside down from a rail. Unlike her elder sister, Meihuan is much calmer. She prefers 【3】 (sit) still and observe her new environment, sometimes snacking on bamboo.

Pandas are shy with strangers and need company, 【4】 (explain) Luo Yunhong, a breeder at the panda base. Luo’s main worry about the pandas’ transition（过渡）is that they both love American crackers so much 【5】 everything they eat from bamboo to apples and even water must 【6】 (mix) with the crackers. To help them get used to food in China, Luo has been replacing the crackers little by little with Chinese bread.

Another problem is that Meilun and Meihuan cannot understand Sichuan dialect; only hearing 【7】 names can make them raise their heads. In contrast, they react 【8】 a number of basic words in English, such as “Come here”.

Luo has been recording the stool sample（粪便样本）and body temperatures every day, as well as 【9】 (provide) daily udates to the Exit-Entry and Quarantine Bureau of Chengdu. According to the officer, the sister are 【10】 (gradual) getting used to their new lives.

【答案】

【1】better

【2】jumping

【3】to sit

【4】explained

【5】that

【6】be mixed

【7】their

【8】to

【9】providing

【10】gradually

【解析】

本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲了海归熊猫回到祖国，只听得懂英语，还不吃中餐。饲养员对此感到担忧。

【1】

考查形容词的比较级。句意：但是，这两只小家伙还没有摆脱所有的旧习惯；它们更喜欢美国的饼干，而不是中国的面包，而且英语要比中文更好。结合句意和空格处后的than，可知这里要用所给形容词的比较级，故填better。

【2】

考查现在分词作状语。分析可知，is是本句的谓语动词，jump在句中作状语，是非谓语，jump与其逻辑主语Meilun之间是逻辑上的主动关系，要用其现在分词形式，故填jumping。

【3】

考查固定搭配。prefer to do 为固定搭配，意为“更喜欢做……”，故填to sit。

【4】

考查时态。句意：基地一位名为罗云红的饲养员解释到，熊猫们看到陌生人时都很害羞，需要有人陪。分析可知explain在句中作谓语，根据句意，explain这个动作发生在过去，要用一般过去时，与主语Luo Yunhong之间是主动关系，故填explained。

【5】

考查固定句型。句意：罗云红对美轮美奂的过渡最担心的一点就是，它们太喜欢美国饼干了，以至于它们吃的每一样东西——从竹子到苹果甚至水——都要混一些这种饼干。根据句意，此处使用了so…that…（如此……以至于）句型，故填that。

【6】

考查语态。分析可知mix在that从句中作谓语动词，与主语everything they eat之间是被动关系，情态动词must后，要用动词原形，故填be mixed。

【7】

考查形容词性物主代词。句意：另外一个问题就是美轮美奂两姐妹不懂四川方言，只有在听到它们的名字的时候，才会有反应，抬起头。根据句意，这里表达的是“它们的名字“，故填their。

【8】

考查介词。句意：相反的是，它们对一些基本的英文单词有反应，比如：“come here（过来）”。react to是固定搭配，意为“对……有反应”，符合句意,故填to。

【9】

考查动名词。as well as此处表示“也”，相当于介词，后接动词时，要接其动名词形式。故填providing。

【10】

考查副词。修饰动词短语get used to，要用副词，故填gradually。

练习册系列答案

Jack was gone.

For six years, Jack had lived four floors directly below him. If it hadn’t been for the fire escape, the two best friends could have seen each other by sticking their heads out of their bedroom windows.

Every summer had been filled with bike rides and baseball, but last summer—the summer of Cyclops—had been the best.

Kyle and Jack had created the pulley contraption (滑轮), which Jack named Cyclops, from old bicycles, a backpack and a long rope. It ran beside the fire escape, and anything that fit into the pack could be slid from Kyle to Jack and back again. Cyclops had exchanged messages, comics and even chocolate cookies between windows.

Three days ago, Jack said good-bye to Kyle, saying his family was moving. Cyclops’ backpack rested on the fire escape outside Jack’s empty bedroom.

Staring at the ceiling over his bed, Kyle felt sad and lonely. Zzzoop! Kyle ran to the window, only to find Cyclops rushing toward him. ‘‘Jack?” he shouted. Kyle opened the backpack and found a note “This is cool. Did you make it?” Disappointed, he threw the note away and closed the window, muttering (咕哝着) to the faceless stranger in Jack’s room, “Forget it.”

Minutes later, Kyle ran his eyes over Cyclops. Having read one page of his favorite comic, he looked at it again. He wrote a note. “Who are you?” Zzzooop! “I’m Max.” “I’m Kyle. How old are you?”

Cyclops whirred (呼呼地响), carrying notes between Kyle and Max. They discovered they would be in Mrs. Parker’ fifth grade class next year. They both loved riding bikes and playing baseball but hated strawberry jam.

Kyle sent three cookies and a note down. Cyclops ran between the windows as Kyle and Max made crucial decisions, like how to go to the zoo, when and where to meet. “Feel like going to the zoo tomorrow? Zzzooop! “OK.”

Para. 1: Early the next morning, Kyle got ready and his mom smilingly held the door open.

Para. 2: It was a girl that was pushing the bike and approaching him.

【题目】 “Bananas Gone Wild” beats “Potato Parcel” down in terms of the most ridiculous idea according to the vote from net friends. But both of them have proven to be completely successful. While the latter involved sending people messages written on raw potatoes, the former is all about decorating bananas and selling them for $10 every piece.

Davonte Wilson first came up with the idea of Bananas Gone Wild when he worked as a doctor in a hospital. He became popular in the workplace as a guy who spent some of his spare time drawing some faces with strange expressions on bananas, with his co-workers going as far as to play jokes on his special hobby. But it’s Wilson who is laughing all the way to the bank now, as his business is projected to earn him 100,000 dollars.

Wilson works out of his apartment, bringing bananas to life by using markers, fake beards, eyeglasses, moustache stickers and other tools. He then puts them up for sale on his website BananasGoneWild.com. He also gives customers the chance to create their own bananas by choosing the decorations themselves, starting at $9.99.

Wilson admits that he started the business on a whim, and never expected it to be so successful. Now Wilson works on about 75 bananas a day. Once he finishes, he will cover the bananas with plastic wrap（保鲜膜）and take them to the post office to ship out to customers. Wilson points out that his creations are meant to be souvenirs and his website clearly states that the bananas are not meant to be eaten.

When it comes to Wilson’s six figures a year by selling decorated bananas, I think I’m definitely in the wrong business, which is also doubted by my friends who know Wilson’s story.

【1】Wilson got the idea of “Bananas Gone Wild” ________.

A.at work

B.out of his hobby

C.when playing jokes about bananas

D.after becoming popular in the workplace

【2】What does the underlined word “whim” in paragraph 4 mean?

A.A little joke.

B.A special banana.

C.A sudden wish.

D.A great dream.

【3】Which of the following can best describe Wilson?

A.Imaginative and creative.

B.Courageous and hard-working.

C.Ridiculous but talented.

D.Smart but unconfident.

【4】What can we infer from the text?

A.“Bananas Gone Wild” and “Potato Parcel” are both created by Wilson.

B.Wilson has been expecting his “Bananas Gone Wild” to succeed.

C.The author is planning to sell decorated bananas like Wilson.

D.Wilson’s story will have a positive influence on the author’s business.

【题目】 Here’s a new reason to be an optimist. 【1】 Pessimists, of course, might have suspected this all along-but now there’s actual research behind it.

Boston-area scientists found the most optimistic people live an average of 11 to 15 percent longer than their more pessimistic peers.

In previous studies, researchers have found that more optimistic people tend to have lower risk of diseases and early death, said Lewina Lee, the lead researcher and a psychiatry professor at Boston University School of Medicine. “【2】“

Optimists generally expect good things to happen in the future and feel like they can control important outcomes. They tend to stay positive whatever comes their way.

【3】 There’s good news: The mind-set is about 25 percent hereditary (遗传的). Lee said, meaning people have some control over their level of good thoughts. She said people can become more optimistic by imagining a future in which their goals have been reached.

To conduct their research. Lee and the other scientists compared results from two independently conducted studies-one that followed nearly 70,000 women for a decade and another that followed about 1,400 men for 30 years. 【4】 They ranked themselves on statements including in uncertain times, “I usually expect the best” or “I'm always optimistic about my future.”

The conclusion that optimistic people tend to live longer holds true regardless of other factors, Lee said.

The study leaves one question unanswered: 【5】 Although it's unclear, the researchers believe optimists may be better at regulating stressors and bouncing (反弹) back I from upsetting events. Optimists also generally have healthier habits, like exercising more and smoking less.

A.Not a natural optimist?

B.Our study took it one step further.

C.Why are optimists likely to live longer?

D.Why do women generally live longer than men?

E.An optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.

F.People self-reported their optimism on questionnaires.

G.Those who see the glass as half full, according to a new study, live longer.

【题目】 To address the plastic pollution troubling the world’s seas and waterways, Cornell University chemists have developed a new polymer (聚合物) that can degrade (降解) plastic when exposed to ultraviolet radiation, according to the research published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.

“We have created a new plastic that has the mechanical properties required by commercial fishing gear. If it eventually gets lost in the water environment, this material can degrade on a realistic time scale,” said lead researcher Bryce Lipinski, professor of chemistry and chemical biology at Cornell University. “This material could effectively reduce persistent plastic accumulation in the environment.”

Commercial fishing contributes to about half of all floating plastic waste that ends up in the oceans. Fishing nets and ropes are primarily made from three kinds of polymers, none of which easily degrade. “While research of degradable plastics has received much attention in recent years,” Lipinski said, “obtaining a material with a mechanical strength comparable to commercial plastic remains a difficult challenge.”

Coates and his research team have spent the past 15 years developing the new plastic called isotactic polypropylene oxide, or iPPO. While its original discovery was in 1949, the mechanical strength of this material was unknown before this recent work. The high isotacticity and polymer chain length of their material makes it different from previous plastics and provides its mechanical strength.

Lipinski and other scientists want no race of the polymer to be left in the environment. He notes there is precedent (先例) for the biodegradation of small chains of iPPO which could effectively make it disappear and ongoing efforts aim to prove this.

【1】What is the feature about the new polymer?

A.It can solve the problem of plastic consumption.

B.It can degrade plastic waste in the sea water.

C.It has been developed to solve plastic pollution.

D.It has been developed to lower fishing costs.

【2】What can we infer from paragraph 3?

A.It requires great effort to invent the new plastic.

B.Fishing should be forbidden in the sea.

C.Fishing nets and ropes are not the major pollution source.

D.Degradable plastics were not paid attention to until recent years.

【3】What did the recent study find about iPPO?

A.Its original discovery.B.Its mechanical properties.

C.Its complex structure.D.Its mechanical strength.

【4】What is Lipinski’s attitude towards the future of iPPO?

A.Doubtful.B.Promising.

C.Unconcerned.D.Disapproval.

【题目】 At the World Economic Forum last month, President Trump drew claps when he announced the United States would respond to the forum's proposal to plant one trillion(万亿) trees to fight climate change. The trillion-tree idea won wide attention last summer after a study published in the journal Science concluded that planting so many trees was “the most effective climate change solution to date”.

If only it were true. But it isn't. Planting trees would slow down the planet's warming, but the only thing that will save us and future generations from paying a huge price in dollars, lives and damage to nature is rapid and considerable reductions in carbon release from fossil fuels, to net zero by 2050.

Focusing on trees as the big solution to climate change is a dangerous diversion(偏离). Worse still, it takes attention away from those responsible for the carbon release that are pushing us toward disaster. For example, in the Netherlands, you can pay Shell an additional 1 euro cent for each liter of regular gasoline you put in your tank, to plant trees to balance the carbon release from your driving. That's clearly no more than disaster slightly delayed. The only way to stop this planet from overheating is through political, economic, technological and social solutions that end the use of fossil fuels.

There is no way that planting trees, even across a global area the size of the United States, can absorb the huge amounts of fossil carbon released from industrial societies. Trees do take up carbon from the atmosphere as they grow. But this uptake merely replaces carbon lost when forests were cleared in the first place, usually long ago. Regrowing forests where they once grew can undo some damage done in the past, but even a trillion trees can't store enough carbon to head off dramatic climate changes this century.

In a sharp counter argument to last summer's Paper in Science, Justin Gillis wrote in the same journal in October that the study's findings were inconsistent with the dynamics of the global carbon cycle. He warned that “the claim that global tree restoration(复原) is our most effective climate solution is simply scientifically incorrect and dangerously misleading”.

【1】What do we know about the trillion-tree idea?

A.It was published in a journal.

B.It was proposed last summer.

C.It was put forward by Trump.

D.It drew lots of public attention.

【2】What is paragraph 3 mainly about?

A.A drawback of the tree planting strategy.

B.An example of balancing carbon release.

C.An anecdote of making a purchase at Shell.

D.A responsibility for politicians and economists.

【3】What was Justin Gillis's attitude towards global tree restoration?

A.Indifferent.B.Opposed.

C.Hesitant.D.Supportive.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A.Contradictory Ideas on Tree Planting.

B.A Trillion Trees Come to the Rescue.

C.Planting Trees Won't Save the World.

D.The Best Solution to Climate Change.
