题目内容
15.Have you ever wondered why birds sing?Maybe you thought that they were just happy.After all,you probably also sing or whistle when you are happy.Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy.However,they sing most of the time for a very different reason.Their singing is actually a warning to other birds to stay out of their territory.
Do you know what a"territory"is?A territory is an area that an animal,usually the male,claims(宣称) as its own.Only he and his family are welcome there.No other families of the same species(物种) are welcome.Your yard and house are your territory where only your family and friends are welcome.(97)If a stranger should enter yourterritory and want to hurt you,you might shout.Probably this would be enoughto frighten him away.
If so,you have actually frightened the stranger away without having to fight him.(99)一只鸟也将会做同样的事.But he expects an outsider almost any time,especially at nesting(筑巢) season.So he is screaming (尖叫)all the time,whether he can see an outsider or not.This screaming is what we call a bird's song,and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away.
Birds sing loudest in spring when they are trying to attract a mate(同伴) and warn others not to enter the territory of theirs.
You can see that birds have a language of their own.Most of it has to do with attracting mates and setting up territories.

A.A place where other families of the same species are welcome.
B.A place where a bird can sing loudly.

D.An area which a bird considers to be its own.
任务四:将(99)处划线句子翻译成英语.99.A bird will also do the same thing./A bird will do the same thing,too./A bird will do the same thing as well..
任务五:用一句话概括本文的中心大意(不超过10个单词).
100.The reason(s) why birds sing.
分析 全文大意:
你曾经想知道鸟为什么唱歌吗?也许你认为它们只是高兴.毕竟当你高兴时,你也会唱歌或吹口哨.一些科学家相信鸟类确实有时仅仅因为高兴而唱歌.然而,它们大部分时间的歌唱是因为一个非常不同的原因.它们的歌声实际上警告其他鸟不要进入它们的领地.你知道"领地"是什么吗?领地是动物,通常是雄性动物宣称是它自己的地方.只有他和他的家人允许在那里.不欢迎相同物种的其他家庭.你的院子和房子就是你只欢迎你的家人和朋友的领地.如果陌生人进入到你的领地想伤害你,你可能会大声喊.也许这会足以把他吓走.如果这样的话,你实际上没有和他打架就把他吓跑了.一只鸟也将会做同样的事.但是他几乎时刻都会遇到外人,尤其是筑巢的季节.所以他时刻在尖叫,不论他看到的是不是外人.这种尖叫也就是我们所谓的鸟的歌声,它足以使外人远离.鸟类在春天当它们试图吸引同伴以及警告别人不要进入他们的领地时歌声最嘹亮.你可知道鸟类有它们自己的语言.大部分与吸引同伴和建立领地有关.
解答 96.set up
97.shouting at/to
98.D
99.A bird will also do the same thing./A bird will do the same thing,too./A bird will do the same thing as well.
100.The reason(s) why birds sing
96、细节理解及同义词转换 根据establish意为"建立",根据最后一段Most of it has to do with attracting mates and setting up territories"大部分与吸引同伴和建立领地有关"可知句中set up也表达类似的意思,故填set up
97、细节理解及同义句转换 根据划线句子If a stranger should enter your territory and want to hurt you,you might shout.Probably this would be enough to frighten him away."如果陌生人进入到你的领地想伤害你,你可能会大声喊.也许这会足以把他吓走.如果这样的话,你实际上没有和他打架就把他吓跑了".结合题目空格前的介词by表示方法、手段,空格后为人称代词宾格him,可知通过朝他大声喊的方式把他吓走,结合原文中的关键词shout,可知"朝某人喊叫"为"shout at/to sb"又知介词后接动名词形式,故填shouting at/to
98、D 细节理解题 根据第二段A territory is an area that an animal,usually the male,claims(宣称) as its own可知领地是动物,通常是雄性动物宣称是它自己的地方.故选D
99、汉译英 根据汉语意思"一只鸟也将会做同样的事"表示将要做某事故确定该句为一般将来时,其结构为主语+will+动词原形,其中主语"一只鸟"译为a bird,谓语"做同样的事情"译为"do the same thing"又知also、too、as well 都可表示"也…"其中also通常用于肯定句中,位置一般紧靠动词;too,其位置一般在句末,前面常有逗号;as well通常用于肯定句之后,可与too换用.故整句话可译为A bird will also do the same thing./A bird will do the same thing,too./A bird will do the same thing as well.
100、主旨大意题 根据第一段Have you ever wondered why birds sing"你曾经想知道鸟为什么唱歌吗?"以及最后一段对全文的总结You can see that birds have a language of their own.Most of it has to do with attracting mates and setting up territories."你可知道鸟类有它们自己的语言.大部分与吸引同伴和建立领地有关"可知短文主要讲了鸟唱歌的原因,故填The reason(s) why birds sing
