63.which

64.with65.attached66.their

67.flags

68.slightly69.running70.falls/isfalling66.their

形容词性物主代词修饰名词，故填their。67.flags

句意：得到旗子最多的获胜。可知名词用复数形式，故填flags。68.slightly

此处用slightly修饰比较级加强语气。69.running

此处while+现在分词做时间状语，故填running。注意双写开头。70.falls/isfalling

句意：随着黄昏的降临。根据句意everyyear可知用一般现在时态或现在进行时态，故填falls/isfalling。【知识归纳】下面的词或词组可以放在比较级前面修饰比较级加强语气：much/even/alot/alittle/any/still/far/slightly/agreatdeal.比如Ifeltmuchhappier.我感觉幸福多了.68.slightly

此处用slightly修饰比较级加强语气。三、阅读理解21.Trees,someofthetallestintheworld,toweredaboveHannahGriffithsandhercolleagueseachmorningastheywalkeddeepintotherainforestintheMaliauBasininBorneo,wheretheyhadsetupasetofexperimentstolookattheecologicaleffectsofsmallcreatures:termites(白蚁).Termitesgetabumrap.TheymakeheadlinesforchewingupbillionsofdollarsofpropertyeachyearintheU.S.Andtheyareresponsibleforsomethingliketwopercentofglobalcarbonemissions,simplyasaresultoftheirhugepopulationsandpreferenceforchewingthroughcarbonrichmaterials.Awholeindustryisaimingatkillingthem.Buttheyplayakeyroleinmanynaturalecosystems.Scientistshaveknownforyearsthatintropical(热带的)forests,termiteschewupfallenleavesanddeadwood,keepingthefallenmaterialundercontrolandlettingnutrientsfromthedeadmaterialbackintothesystemtobeusedbyotherplants,insects,andanimals.Buttheydidn’tknowexactlyhowimportanttheinsectswereinkeepingtheforesthealthyandfunctional,sotheyremovedtermitesfromaparticularspotintheforestandsawhowitresponded.Asluckwouldhaveit,HannahGriffithsandhercolleaguesstartedtheirexperimentwhentheforestwashitbyanextremedrought(干旱).Duringthenon-droughtyears,theysawtherewasn’tmuchdifferencebetweenthenormalplotsandtheoneswherethey’dremovedthetermites.Butduringthedrought,theeffectsweremarked.Whattheyfoundwasunexpected:inthetermite-richareas,thesoilstayedslightlywet,moretreeseedlingssprouted(抽芽),andthesystemwasfullofactivitydespitethelong,harddryspell.ForGriffiths,itwasonlybecausetheyhappenedtostudythedroughtthattheycouldpickouttherealimportanceoftermitestothesystem,shepointsout.“Andthatringsalarmbellsinmyhead,”shesays,“becauseitmakesmethink,wellwhatelsedon’tweknow?Ifwestartdamagingbiologicalcommunities,wedon’tknowwhatthatwilldo.”28.Whichofthefollowingbestexplains“abumrap”underlinedinParagraph2?A.Unfairblame.

29.B

30.A

31.C【分析】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了白蚁在自然界的生态系统中发挥着关键作用。【28题详解】词义猜测题。由第二段“TheymakeheadlinesforchewingupbillionsofdollarsofpropertyeachyearintheU.S.Andtheyareresponsibleforsomethingliketwopercentofglobalcarbonemissions,simplyasaresultoftheirhugepopulationsandpreferenceforchewingthroughcarbonrichmaterials.”他们因为每年在美国吞噬数十亿美元的财产而成为头条新闻，他们对全球大约百分之二的碳排放负有责任，这仅仅是因为他们人口众多，而且喜欢咀嚼富含碳的材料。所以以上都在说明白蚁受到了不公正的责备。所以A选项“不公正的职责”能最好地解释第2段中划线的“abumrap”的意思。故A选项正确。【29题详解】细节理解题。由第三段“Scientistshaveknownforyearsthatintropical(热带的)forests,termiteschewupfallenleavesanddeadwood,keepingthefallenmaterialundercontrolandlettingnutrientsfromthedeadmaterialbackintothesystemtobeusedbyotherplants,insects,andanimals”可知，多年以来，科学家们已经知道，在热带雨林中，白蚁会啃食落叶和枯木，控制掉落的物质，并让枯木中的营养物质重新回到生态系统中，供其他植物、昆虫和动物食用。所以关于白蚁，科学家们了解到它们为它们所生活的生态系统做出了很大的贡献。故B选项正确。【30题详解】推理判断题。由第四段“Butduringthedrought,theeffectsweremarked.Whattheyfoundwasunexpected:inthetermite-richare
