分析 这篇短文主要介绍了地球是数百万动物生活的家园.着重从以下几个方面介绍了动物的与众不同:一是有些动物非常聪明;二是动物都有自己的交流方式;三是动物也有社会性;四是动物可以帮助人类做很多事情.
解答 57.答案:millions 考查量词的用法.联系语境,根据后句的关键词2 million kinds of animals和over 10million 可知,此处应填的词与数量million有关;结合关键词of animals可知这里指的动物的数量不是确定的数目,所以应用million的复数形式millions,构成固定用法millions of,意为"上百万的".故填millions.
58.答案:clever 考查形容词的用法.联系语境,根据Some of them do very unusual things.Research shows that animals can use tools.等描述可知,有些动物能够做很不寻常的事情,作者以黑猩猩为例说明动物能够使用工具,所以我们可以知道动物是很聪明的.结合前面的系动词are可知后面应该跟形容词,所以此处应该用形容词clever,意为"聪明的".故填clever.
59.答案:own 考查形容词的用法.联系语境,根据Did you know dolphins(海豚) use ultrasound(超声) to communicate?Birds learn to sing from their parents.等描述,可知不论是作为海豚,还是作为鸟类,它们都有自己独特的交流方式;结合关键词ways,可知前面应用形容词修饰;根据前面的分析,此处应该用形容词own,意为"自己的,特有的";own ways意为"自己的或特有的方式".故填own.
60.答案:example 考查固定短语的用法.联系语境,根据前后文Animals have societies too及An ant family usually has millions of ants…等描述可知,这里作者是以蚂蚁为例向我们说明动物也有社会.结合关键词take ants as an…可知此处应该用固定短语take…as an example,意为"以…为例".故填example.
61.答案:able 考查固定短语的用法.联系语境,根据Nowadays some dogs are even…to guide blind people可知现在一些狗还能给人导盲,强调一种能力;结合关键词are even…to可以联想到固定短语be able to意为"能够做某事".故填able.
