题目内容

【题目】阅读下列短文,根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写1个适当的单词,在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。

You are never too old to go after your dreams. Many people don’t let age stop them. If they want to do something, they just do it. For example, Gladys Burrill ran her first marathon at 86. She became famous when she 1 (finish) the Honolulu Marathon (檀香山马拉松). She was 92 then. Life is about change, so don’t be afraid to take your 2 (one) step. It is easy after you do that. So, stop 3 (think) about your dreams, and start doing something about them.

【答案】

1finished

2first

3thinking

【解析】

这是一篇议论文。人们不能让年龄阻止他们追求自己梦想的脚步。要敢于迈出追逐梦想的步伐。

1考查时态。句意:当她完成了檀香山马拉松比赛时,她就出名了。由下一句“那时她92岁。”可知,“完成檀香山马拉松比赛”发生在过去。finish应该使用一般过去时。故填finished

2考查序数词。句意:生活就是不断做出改变,所以不要害怕迈出第一步。结合句意,做出改变就需要迈出第一步。one的序数词是first。故填first

3考查动名词。句意:因此,停止思考你的梦想,然后开始对它们做一些事情。stop to do sth.:中断当前做的某事,然后去做另一件事;stop doing sth.:停止正在做的某事。结合句意可知,做些事情去实现梦想就要停止思考而不是停下来去思考,因此stop后面使用doing形式。故填thinking

【题目】 Natural selection is the process by which one type of animal within a species thrives because of certain characteristics that make it more likely to live than others in its group. The history of the peppered moth(灰蛾)is an example of the natural selection process.

In 19th century England, certain types of peppered moths were able to better blend(融合)into their surroundings. During that time period, great changes were happening in Great Britain. The Industrial Revolution was part of this change, and with it came air pollution. Natural selection often takes hundred or even thousands of years to occur. For the peppered moth, this process occurred comparatively quickly.

At the beginning of the Industrial Age, most peppered moths in England were light-colored and covered with black markings, although a few moths had dark-colored wings. Because the light-colored moths blended into the light-colored bark on the trees, they could not be easily seen by birds that would eat them. As the air grew more polluted, however, tree trunks became covered with soot(烟煤)and became darker. The light-colored moths became easy for birds to see against the dark tree trunks. Since the dark-colored moths now had the advantage, their numbers grew. Within 50 years, the peppered moth went from being mostly light-colored to being mostly dark-colored.

In the 20th century, the air cleared up, and the peppered moth population changed again. As tree trunks lighted due to less soot in the air, light-colored moths once again had an advantage. Their numbers increased as soot levels declined. Depending on their environment, the coloration of the moths helped them to be “naturally selected” to survive.

D.It was a good example of environmental protection.

3What’s the difference between light-colored and dark-colored moths?

A.Dark-colored moths were originally easy to see on trees.

B.Both kinds of moths preferred the dark-colored trees.

C.Birds failed to see light-colored moths.

D.The color of moths was unimportant.

4Which would most likely happen if soot darkened England’s trees again?

A.Birds would eat fewer moths.

B.Moths would not be able to stay alive.

C.Light-colored moths would disturb people’s life.

D.The population of dark-colored moths would increase.

【题目】 Humans and elephants don’t always get along. In Africa and Asia, elephants damage infrastructure (基础设施), farmers’ crops, and natural habitat critical for other species. If an elephant becomes a problem, humans may kill it. So local people and conservationists are trying to find better ways to keep elephants away from sensitive places. Now, researchers think they have a good tool to stop elephants: honeybee pheromones (信息素).

“Elephants hate being stung () in the trunk, so it’s an extremely sensitive organ. Imagine being stung in your nose by a bee, and multiply that a few thousand times.” said Mark Wright, a professor of entomology at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.

Kenyan farmers have long known that if they hang live beehives around their farms, they will repel elephants. “The problem is logistical, how do you manage hundreds of thousands of hives, if you have a huge area to protect? And then the idea came up to look at the alarm pheromones, which are chemicals that the bee release to launch an attack on something that’s damaging the hive.” Because elephants have a highly developed sense of smell, Wright and his team thought they might be able to use the bees’ alarm signal to affect elephant behavior.

So the researchers tested out a synthetic blend (合成混合物) of chemicals that imitates honeybees’ alarm pheromones. In Greater Kruger National Park in South Africa, the team hung white socks treated with the synthetic mixture as well as untreated control socks around an elephant watering hole, and then observed the animals’ behavior. “Elephants are really curious organisms, they’ll walk along and see something like a sock hanging on a branch in the environment, and they’ll inspect it. And if it’s not treated with the alarm pheromones, they’ll pick it up, throw it around, try to taste it, things like that. And in the case of the treated ones, we found that they would show immediate signs of unease or uncertainty, and they’d eventually back off from them. Very seldom would they go to pick them up and play with them.” The study is in the journal Current Biology.

1What will the researchers do to prevent elephants from damaging human’s habitat?

A.Kill them.B.Scare them away.

C.Apply honeybee pheromones.D.Rebuild a new ecosystem.

2What does Mr. Wright think of Kenyan farmers’ method if it’s applied to a huge area?

A.Scientific.B.Flexible.C.Awesome.D.Impractical.

3Why did the researcher conduct the study?

A.To confirm what they thought.

B.To attract the elephants’ attention.

C.To preserve the elephants’ habitat.

D.To test out honeybee’s alarm pheromones.

4What’s the main idea of the text?

A.Elephants and humans don’t get along well.

B.Honeybee pheromones can keep elephants away.

C.Elephants have a highly developed sense of smell.

D.Honeybees release pheromones to launch attacks.

【题目】 At 9 pm, Li Zhigang was sitting in front of his fruit shop on a busy street in central Shanghai’s Xujiahui area, removing the thin plastic film from rotten pears and oranges. “This is so much trouble!” he complained while throwing the plastic into one garbage can and the fruit into another. In the past, Li simply threw away what could not be sold with the packaging on, but from July 1, 2019, he could be fined up to 200 yuan for doing so.

Like Li, many of the tens of millions of residents in Shanghai have been complaining recently that the introduction of compulsory household garbage sorting is making life difficult, but at the same time have been having to learn to do it.

Calls for garbage sorting have brought little progress in China in the past decade, but Shanghai is leading a fresh start for the world’s second-largest waste producer. “If we say China is now classifying its waste, then it’s Shanghai that is really doing it,” said Chen Liwen, an environmentalist who has devoted herself to waste classification for the past decade. “It’s starting late, compared with the US or Japan, but if it’s successful in such a big city with such a huge population, it will mean a lot for the world,” she said. While the measures force a change of habits for most people, they bring opportunities for some. Du Huanzheng, director of the Recycling Economy Institute at Tongji University, said waste sorting was important for China’s recycling industry. “Without proper classification, a lot of garbage that can be recycled is burned, and that’s a pity,” he said. “After being classified, things suitable to be stored and transported can now be recycled.” Besides, prices of small sortable garbage cans for home use have increased on e-commerce (电子商务) platforms, while garbage can makers are also developing smart models in response to new needs. What’s more, garbage sorting is also an important part of a country’s soft power. “For China, it is an opportunity to improve its international reputation. However, it is a long process that requires effort from government, enterprises and individuals (个人),” Du said.

1What do the underlined words “doing so” in Paragraph 1 refer to?

A.Packaging fruit with plastic film.

B.Selling rotten fruit to customers.

C.Throwing rotten fruit into a garbage can.

D.Throwing fruit and its packaging into the same garbage can.

2What does the author want to show by writing Paragraph 2?

A.The new garbage sorting rules in Shanghai are strict.

B.Garbage sorting puts Shanghai residents into trouble.

C.It is not easy to learn how to sort garbage.

D.It’s necessary to sort garbage in Shanghai.

3What is Chen Liwen’s attitude towards garbage sorting in China?

A.Hopeful.B.Doubtful.

C.Uninterested.D.Worried.

4Which of the following is mentioned as a benefit of garbage sorting?

A.It helps reduce the burden of individuals.

B.It makes smart garbage cans affordable.

C.It helps improve China’s hard power.

D.It avoids recyclable things being burned.
