For example, 【3】 is illegal to feed pigeons on the streets of San Francisco. The city 【4】 (know) for the Golden Gate Bridge blames the common birds for spreading disease and damaging property. Anyone 【5】 is caught providing food to San Francisco's pigeons could face a heavy fine. Moreover, citizens 【6】 (encourage) to report pigeon feeders to the city's police department. For another example, you'd better think twice before you smoke in Singapore. Singapore has 【7】 (serious) smoking penalty（处罚）in the world. Smoking in public will earn a tough fine. More 【8】 (surprise), if you' re shopping in Canada, don't expect cashiers 【9】 (accept) many coins as your sole method of payment. According to Canada's Currency Act, stores can legally refuse excessive amounts 【10】 coins.

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。文章指出在不同国家地区旅游的过程中，人们可能接触到各种意想不到的文化差异，并列举了一些有趣的例子。

【1】

考查非谓语动词。句意：从用很多硬币购物到在户外点上一支香烟，这些都是很奇怪且令人尴尬的旅行错误，是旅行者们极力避免的。这里空白处与前面的shopping并列，分别作from和to的介词，要用动名词。故填lighting。

【2】

考查名词。句意：从用很多硬币购物到在户外点上一支香烟，这些都是很奇怪且令人尴尬的旅行错误，是旅行者们极力避免的。分析句子结构可知，这里是省略that的定语从句，空白处需要主语，从后面的do their best to avoid来看，应该是指某种人群，显然只能用travelers表示“游客们”。故填travelers。

【3】

考查代词。句意：比如，在旧金山的街道上喂鸽子就是违法的。分析句子可知，这里是it作形式主语，不定式是真正主语的句型“it is+形容词+to do sth.”。故填it。

【4】

考查非谓语动词。句意：这座以金门大桥闻名的城市指责鸟类会传播疾病、破坏财产。be known for意为“以……而出名”，这里know作city的后置定语，与city之间是被动关系，要用过去分词形式。故填known。

【5】

考查定语从句。句意：任何被发现在旧金山给鸽子喂食的人都将面临一笔很重的罚款。分析句子结构可知，整句中有两个谓语动词，考虑复合句，空白后的句子应该是作定语修饰anyone的，anyone作为先行词是人属性，关系代词可以用that或者who。故填who/that。

【6】

考查时态和语态。句意：此外，市民们也被鼓励向当地警方举报喂鸽子者。联系前文对喂食鸽子这一行为的惩罚，这里显然指政府鼓励当地市民检举，市民们是被鼓励，要用被动语态。故填are encouraged。

【7】

考查形容词最高级。句意：新加坡有着世界上对吸烟行为最严厉的处罚。从句中给出的比较范畴in the world可以推断，这里要用serious的最高级形式。故填the most serious。

【8】

考查副词。句意：更令人惊讶的是，如果你在加拿大购物，不要指望收银员会收你一大堆硬币。分析句子可知，surprise在这里作状语修饰整个后句，要用surprisingly表示“令人惊讶的是”。故填surprisingly。

【9】

考查非谓语动词。句意：更令人惊讶的是，如果你在加拿大购物，不要指望收银员会收你一大堆硬币。expect sb. to do sth.意为“期待某人做某事”，即其后接动词要用不定式。故填to accept。

【10】

考查介词。句意：根据加拿大的货币法案，商店可以合法拒收过量的硬币。 amounts of“......的数量”。故填of。

练习册系列答案

Humans have already wiped out hundreds of species and pushed many more to the brink of extinction through wildlife trade，pollution，habitat loss and the use of toxic substances. The findings published in the scientific Journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences( PNAS)show that the rate at which species are dying out has accelerated in recent decades.

Gerardo Ceballos González，a professor of ecology at the National Autonomous University of Mexico and one of the authors of the study，said approximately 173 species went extinct between 2001 and 2014. “173 species is 25 times more extinct species than you would expect under the normal extinction rate. ”he told CNN in an email. He and his team found that in the past 100 years，more than 400 vertebrate(脊椎动物的)species went extinct. In the normal course of evolution，such extinctions would have taken up to 10，000 years，they said.

Mass extinctions are just as severe as their name suggests. There have been five mass extinction events in the Earth’s history，each wiping out between 70％and 95％of the species of plants，animals and microorganisms. The most recent，66 million years ago，saw dinosaurs disappear. The past events were caused by catastrophic changes of the environment，including massive volcanic eruptions or collision with an asteroid.

The sixth mass extinction the one happening now—is different：scientists say it’s caused by humans. The researchers also said the current coronavirus(冠状病毒)crisis shows people’s recklessness(鲁莽)towards nature can seriously hurt themselves. Many endangered species are dying in large numbers due to the trade in wild animals and plants.

【1】What does the underlined word“toxic”in Para. 2 mean?

A.PoisonousB.Useful

C.AlternativeD.Environment-friendly

【2】How does the writer convince readers of the seriousness of the mass extinctions?

A.By listing reliable statistics.

B.By imagining a picture of the extinctions.

C.By mentioning some news from CNN.

D.By explaining the history of the extinctions.

【3】What is the purpose of the last paragraph?

A.To tell the difference between the fifth and sixth extinction.

B.To explain the cause of the coronavirus crisis.

C.To warn humans to get rid of their wrong actions.

D.To show the writer’s concern about the endangered species.

【4】What does this article mainly talk about?

A.The changes of the environment do harm to wildlife.

B.The sixth mass extinction is much faster than expected.

C.Mass extinctions are just as severe as their name suggests.

D.The current coronavirus has arisen from the illegal trade.

【题目】—I’ve been promoted to the director of HR and I’m wondering whether I can ask for a big pay rise .

—________. After all, the economy is struggling these days.

A.You can make it.B.Good for youC.You’ve gone too farD.It’s up to you

【题目】 There are now six fires burning at emergency levels in Australia.【1】The smoke is so intense and so thick it can be seen from space. 2,000 homes have been destroyed. Six million hectares of land charred, leading to death of the nation’s wildlife.

【2】They are lightning strikes, winds and people who set fire deliberately. But one of the biggest reasons they’ve become so extreme, is the same reason as East Africa’s flood. Bushfires in Australia are a natural part of the country’s ecosystem.【3】Even New South Wales, with the largest population, is used to breaking out. In 1974, fires burned 3.5 million hectares, and in 2003, another 2 million hectares were lost to fire. But the fires that started in 2019 are even worse:4.9 million hectares in New South Wales have burned already—and it’s only going to grow.

【4】For starters, as the world is getting warmer from climate change, so is Australia. 2019 was its hottest year on record, with parts of the country reaching 45 degrees Celsius in December. 2019 was also its driest—the places here in gray have seen historic droughts.【5】Throughout the year, other large-scale climate drivers affect Australia’s weather, and its likeliness to burn. One of the most influential is the Indian Ocean Dipole(偶极子), or the IOD. The IOD is a big temperature gradient that affects the surface water in the Indian Ocean, from the edge of Africa to the edge of Australia.

A.This is just heartbreaking.

B.So why is this fire season so awful?

C.Their “fire season” varies across regions.

D.The fire season is awful because of the unknown reason.

E.The ecosystem of the country needs to be improved.

F.These record-breaking bushfires in Australia have been started by the following.

G.Together, that provides the perfect conditions for bushfires to start and spread quickly.
