题目内容

12.阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式.
In 1990,over 100countries signed(61)aninternational agreement to make it illegal to buy or sell ivory,which is mainly used for jewelry.Most ivory is made from the tusks(象牙) of African elephants.These tusks are(62)terribly(terrible) valuable-one pair is worth more than three times the income of an African farmer or factory worker in a year.
Hunting elephants was so profitable(63)that from 1979to 1989the number of elephants in African fell from 1.3million to 600,000.It was feared that by the year 2000there would be none(64)left   (leave).However,thanks to the international agreement,there(65)has been (be) much less illegal hunting since 1990.
But considering(66)varieties (vary) of aspects,it costs a lot of money to preserve elephants.Game wardens (狩猎监督员) must be hired to protect them,land must be set aside for them,and when they destroy a farmer's crops,the farmer must(67)be paid  (pay) compensation.
Zimbabwe and four other African countries say that some of the elephants should be killed legally.This would help keep the population(68)stable   (stability),and selling the ivory would help pay for preserving the elephants.But conservationists say that(69)making (make) ivory legal to sell would
lead to even more illegal hunting.Others say(70)what  is wrong is to kill elephants because they are sensitive animals who feel emotional pain at the death of other elephants.

分析 本文主要讲述一项国际协议被签署,禁止非法买卖象牙,严禁猎杀大象.

解答 61.an 考查冠词.agreement是可数名词,单数形式前加不定冠词,因international的读音是以发元音开头的,要用不定冠词an.
62.terribly 考查副词.valuable是形容词,要用副词修饰,形容词terrible的副词是terribly.
63.that 考查固定搭配.so…that…意为"如此/这么…以致于…",句型中的so是副词,常常用来修饰形容词或副词,常用句型为:主语+谓语+so+adj./adv.+that从句.
64.left 考查过去分词. none与leave之间是动宾关系,用过去分词作none的定语.
65.has been 考查动词时态.根据since 1990自从---以来,可知用现在完成时态,句子主语illegal hunting是单数形式,助动词用has,故填has been.
66.varieties 考查固定搭配.a variety of/varieties of意为"各种各样的",动词vary的名词是variety,根据句子结构,填varieties.
67.be paid 考查动词语态.根据句意:农民一定要得到补偿.根据句意可知用含情态动词的被动语态,故填be paid.
68.stable 考查形容词.根据句意:保持大象数量的稳定.此处是形容词作宾语补足语.
69.making 考查动名词.分析句子结构,句中缺少主语,此处是动名词做主语,故填making.
70.what  考查连词.此处是what引导的主语从句,在从句中作主语.

What can you do when you are unhappy?If you want to let out your anger or pressure by breaking things,you just do.Now a school in Nanjing has built a"stress wall"to help students who feel unhappy due to heavy schoolwork or for other reasons.
The leader of the school said the idea of a stress wall started when footprints were found on some newly painted walls and some school windows were broken.
"These things happen because some students feel lots of pressure from their studies or because they don't get along well with other students.When under stress,the body gets ready to either run or fight and becomes very nervous.Hitting the wall can help relax the body and take away stress,"he said.
"Tests and homework make me sad,"said a junior girl,"I can't wait to hit the wall.It will help me a lot with my problems."However,another girl student who wouldn't give her name said,"The wall won't help because it can't talk,"and she added,"I need to talk to someone when I'm sad."

3.Shanghai Disney Resort has revealed its ticket prices for Disneyland claiming the lowest of all 12Disney parks and six resorts in the world.
Shanghai Disneyland ticket prices are set at 499yuan (75dollars) for the grand opening period (June 16-30,2016)and regular price at 370yuan.Its regular price for a one-day ticket is lower than its peers in Hong Kong,which is priced at 539yuan and the Disneyland in Tokyo in Japan at 374yuan.The regular price for a one-day ticket at the two parks in Los Angeles is 139 dollars.Tickets for Shanghai's Disneyland will be on sale on March 28,2016.
Shanghai's Disneyland will have its opening day on June 16,2016.All tickets will be date-specific and valid for admission only on the date purchased.
Peak pricing for high-demand dates,including designated holidays,summer holidays and weekends,is set at 499yuan.Special pricing will be provided to categorized guests:children (1.4m and below),seniors (65years old and above) and guests with disabilities will receive discounts of 25percent,infants (1m and below) receive free admission.A two-day ticket will be available at a five percent discount.On March 28,2016,guests can obtain information on tickets through several official channels.
The project has been under construction for more than six years now.Jun 16-that is,6-16-2016-has been apparently chosen as the date of opening because the three 6s are believed to be auspicious,foretelling success.
Real estate professionals believe any success of Shanghai Disney Resort would entail all-round benefits for the area.For example,visitors in huge numbers would likely spark a retail boom in Shanghai.
"Supplies of retail properties are really limited now and prices have more than doubled in the past 12months.Obviously,investors believe that even a 10square meter space for a noodle stand will be really profitable if it is close enough to Disneyland,"said Lu Jianxin,a real estate agent with Shanghai Huayu Property Ltd.

20.Flying is fine if you want to save time,but nothing beats the railway for a relaxing and down-to-earth journey.The Zhengzhou---Xuzhou and Xi'an---Fuzhou high-speed railways put into operation in September mark a connection of high-speed railways in China's eastern and middle-western regions,and they have brought out some of the country's best landscapes and cuisines.
Here are four signature dishes(招牌菜)that you shouldn't miss as you travel along the railways.
Yangrou Paomo,Xi'an
If one dish could represent Xi'an,the capital of Shaanxi,locals would tell you without doubt that it's Yangrou Paomo.It is a bowl of lamb soup served with hard flour"bread",which is broken up and added to the soup.The soup is topped with slices of mutton,scallion(葱) and coriander(香菜).Then it is usually eaten with picked sweet garlic.
Soup Dumpling,Kaifeng
A popular snack in Kaifeng,Henan,the dish is made up of three things:skin,meat and soup.The skin is mad from flour,while the filling is usually pork.And just as its name suggests,the soup dumplings are filled with tasty soup.But how does the steaming hot soup get into the dumplings?It's actually been cooled and cut into cubes,which fit easily into the dough(面团).Along with the pork,the cubes become liquid soup once they're steamed.
Smelly Mandarin Fish,Huangshan
Despite its name,Smelly Mandarin Fish(臭鳜鱼)is known for its good taste.A lot of travelers who visit Huangshan in Anhui want to taste it because they have heard of its reputation.Once the skin has been removed,the fresh is preserved in salty water for six to seven days,then friend and cooked in soy sauce.Although salting gives the fish its special smell,the original tender flesh is preserved well and given a delicious and unique taste.
Buddha Jumps Over the Wall,Fuzhou
The dish has enjoyed an over 100-year-long worldwide reputation since it was invented in Fuzhou,Fujian in the late Qing Dynasty(1644-1911).Fotiaoqiang,or Buddha Jumps Over the Wall,got its interesting name from a poem a customer wrote.The poem said the dish was so delicious that upon smelling it,monks in the neighboring temple would jump over the wall to come and get some.Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is made up of many ingredients,including sea cucumber(海参),chicken,pork and mushroom.Because of these ingredients,it tastes extremely delicious while being highly nutritious at the same time.

7.Two-year-old Harley was asleep with her younger sister in their home in Eden,North Carolina.While their parents were outside welcoming their older sister home from school,the wires in the family's laundry room caught fire and before anyone knew what was happening,the bedroom next door was consumed in flames.
Harley's father was able to rescue his two youngest daughters and save their lives,but Harley was severely burned on 80percent of her body and her parents were told that she was likely to pass away.Over the next several months,Harley would put up with surgery after surgery and remain hooked up to a ventilator(呼吸机)at the hospital.When she was finally released to go home,Harley had no idea that the toughest battle had not even begun yet.
When Harley started school just a few years later,she realized for the first time how cruel her peers could be.Bullied for her appearance and called hateful names,she began to consider ending her life while only in Grade 8.When her friends were getting their first boyfriends and going on their first dates,she was sitting at home wondering if she should end her life.
But in 2013,something changed.It was not something on the outside but something inside Harley.She made the conscious decision to become more like the carefree,laughing,joyous little girl that she had not seen since that night in 1997.So for the first time in her life,she put on a blue dress and walked outside into the light of day throwing caution to the wind and daring anyone to try to rain on her parade.

17.In what can only be described as a heroic act,a golden retriever managed to save his owner's life by lying on top of him for almost 24 hours to keep him from freezing to death after slipping on ice and breaking his neck.
On New Year's Eve,64-year-old Bob,who chose not to reveal his last name for privacy reasons,of Petoskey,Michigan,was watching a football game between Clemson and Ohio State.It was around 10:30 p.m.when he decided to go outside and fetch some more wood for his fireplace wearing only long underpants,slippers and a shirt.He had taken the short,15-foot walk to the firewood shed thousands of times before,but this time his poor choice of footwear made him slip,and the fall left him unable to move.
"I was Screaming for help,but my nearest neighbor is about a quarter-mile away and it was 10:30 p.m.,but my Kelsey came,"Bob recalls."By morning my voice was gone and I couldn't yell for help,but Kel sey didn't stop barking.She kept barking for help,but never left my side.She kept me warm and alert.I knew I had to hold on through this and that was my choice to stay alive."

4.When Ricochet was just a young pup,her owner Judy Fridono hoped the dog might one day become a service dog and help people.But Ricochet had other plans,at least for the first part.She failed at service dog training,but she went on to help millions of people around the world learn how to trust,how to love,and how to surf.
According to Fridono,the dog seemed naturally suited to life as a service dog.She was great with people,especially kids,and she had plenty of energy.But birds were her weakness.She just couldn't seem to stop running after them.And that's not a good quality for a service dog that needs to focus on the person she's helping.
Fridono said at the beginning she was disappointed when Ricochet didn't succeed at service dog schoo1.But it wasn't long before the Pup let her true skills shine through.At just 8weeks old,Ricochet climbed on to a board that had been left in a children's pool,showing her special talent for balance.
Soon,Ricochet was making headlines as the beach-loving dog who could hang ten on a surfboard.But she wasn't finished showing off her special talents yet.
"One day at the beach,she jumped on a surfboard with a 14-year-old boy who had spinal cord(脊髓)injuries,"Fridono said."It was at that moment that her life purpose to surf with people who are disabled was realized.She is just such an inspiration to everyone--she's got such a strong connection to people,and we see such improvements in the people who she surfs with."
Ricochet now surfs daily with children and adults with special needs.She specializes in helping military veterans(退伍军人)with some diseases and children with autism(自闭症)by connecting with them in ways that no one else can.

21.What do we know about Ricochet?A
A.She has been helpful for many people.
B.She was taught how to surf.
C.She saved thousands of people's lives.
D.She learnt special skills at service dog schoo1.
22.What was Ricochet's shortcoming when in training school?C
A.Impatience.  
B.Great pride. 
C.Lack of concentration.
D.Not being brave.
23.What may have amazed Fridono?C
A.Ricochet's widespread popularity.
B.Ricochet's rapid progress.
C.Ricochet's extraordinary talents.
D.Ricochet's dropping out of schoo1.
24.What can we infer from the text?C
A.Ricochet once had a spinal cord injury.
B.Fridono made Ricochet's dream come true.
C.Ricochet has a unique connection with people having special needs.
D.Fridono helped Ricochet develop her skills and talents.
