A【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了地震前一些动物的反常表现,但同时提出并不是所有的动物都有这种感知力,比如大熊猫只能在地震发生时才会感觉到震动。1.A细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Mandara seemed to know something big was about to happen.”可知,Mandara表现得很奇怪是因为它感觉有一些不同寻常的事情要发生。故选A项。2.A推理判断题。根据第四段“Animals can hear above and below our range of hearing, said Brandie Smith. Thats part of their special abilities. Theyre more sensitive to the environment, which is how they survive.”可知,Brandie Smith认为许多动物的听觉很敏锐。故选A项。3.A推理判断题。根据最后一段“Not all the animals behaved unusually before the quake. For example, Smith said the zoos giant pandas didnt jump up until the shaking actually began.”可知,在地震之前,大熊猫并没有异常的表现,由此推断出大熊猫不能感知地震。故选A项。4.C主旨大意题。本文主要讲了地震前动物们的表现,有些动物对地震敏感,而有些动物对地震没有察觉。故选C项。B【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文。1883年的一次强烈的暴风雨使得La Estrella的许多人丧生,许多房屋也受到毁坏。之后村子里的人就慢慢地离开了。几十年以来,整个村子就只有Martin和他妻子在那里生活。5.B推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“It was once filled with life,with hundreds of inhabitants,a church,two schoolhouses and several bars.”可知,这里曾经充满生命力,有数百名居民、一座教堂、两间校舍和几家酒吧。据此推断,这个村子过去是充满活力的。故选B项。6.A细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“The place lost its charm after that and locals gradually began to abandon their homes.”可知,那次暴风雨之后,这个地方就失去了魅力,当地人开始慢慢地离开他们的家园。故选A项。7.B推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“Martin and Sinforosas story began about 70 years later,when they became one pair of the few youths still living in La Estrella.”可知,大约七十年后,Martin和Sinforosa的故事开始了,那时他们成为仍然居住在La Estrella村中少有的年轻人中的一对。再联系第二段暴风雨发生的时间是1883年可知,他们相爱大约是在1953年。故选B项。8.D推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句“Because my wife was born in this place,she has always been living here.”可知,因为Sinforosa在这个地方出生,所以她一直居住在这里。因此,Sinforosa已经习惯了这里的生活,这是她没有离开村子的原因。故选D项。.【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。每年有成千上万的游客前往北极和南极地区,对极地地区的自然生态造成了严重的影响。本文介绍了人们对此现象所持的不同观点。1.thousands考查固定用法。句意:每年,有成千上万的游客参观北极和南极地区。thousands of成千上万的。 2.a考查冠词。句意:但越来越多的人前往地球的两端会对脆弱的生态系统产生负面影响。have a(n)effect on“对有影响”, negative 发音的第一个音素为辅音音素,故用不定冠词a。3.be allowed考查被动语态。句意:游客应该被允许参观极地吗?主语tourists与allow之间是被动关系,根据情态动词should可知填be allowed。 4.increases考查主谓一致。句意:将游客运送到该地区增加了船舶和飞机的交通。主语transporting tourists to the regions是动名词短语,故谓语动词用单数形式,本文的时态是一般现在时,故填increases。 5.where考查定语从句。句意:因为人们可接近野生动物的地方的数量很少。此句是定语从句,先行词the places指地点,从句缺少状语,故用where引导定语从句。6.concentrated考查固定用法。句意:旅游交通集中在特定区域,结果使北极植被面临危险。be/become concentrated in集中于;被集中在。 7.putting考查非谓语动词。句意:旅游交通集中在特定区域,结果使北极植被面临危险。逻辑主语tourist traffic与put之间是主动关系,故用现在分词putting作结果状语。 8.to考查介词。句意:其他人说进入这些非
