ors'kidneysC．canhardlybegottenridoffromcondors'bloodD．makesitdifficultforcondorstoproducebabybirds答案与解析：D考查细节理解。第五段讲述了铅中毒对秃鹫的危害：影响秃鹫的神经系统(A错)，影响秃鹫繁衍后代的能力(D正确)，导致秃鹫肾衰竭(B错)。科研人员给秃鹫使用一种化学药物，帮助它们排出了体内的铅(C错)。因此选D。4．Thispassageshowsthat________.A．theaveragesurvivaltimeofcondorsissatisfactoryB．Rideout'sresearchinterestliesinelectricengineeringC．theeffortstoprotectcondorshavebroughtgoodresultsD．researchershavefoundthefinalanswerstotheproblem答案与解析：C考查主旨大意。本文介绍了美国加州秃鹫濒临灭绝的原因以及科研人员为挽救秃鹫而开展的研究工作。另外，文章的标题也直接说明了本文的主题：保护秃鹫的工作正让秃鹫以令人惊讶的速度恢复生机。因此选C。B(2022·安徽模拟)Bluewhalesarethelargestanimalseverknowntohaveexistedontheplanet,andtheycangrowtoalengthof100feetandweighmorethan330,000pounds.ButrecentlyresearchershavefoundthatthesewhalesareonthemoveandtheyhavemigratedfromCaliforniawaterstoareasoffCanadaandAlaskaforthefirsttimesincecommercialwhalingendedin1965.Theresearchersidentified15bluewhalesthathaveappearedoffthecoastofBritishColumbiaandtheGulfofAlaskasince1997.FourofthesewhaleswererecognizedasonesthatwereoncesightedoffCaliforniashores,suggestingthatthewhalesarereturningtoanoldmigrationpatternbetweenthecoasts.Beforecommercialwhalingbeganintheearly1900s,bluewhaleswerefoundwidelythroughouttheNorthPacificandCaliforniawaters.Butfromthe1920stothe1960s,whalingseverelyreducedthewhalepopulations.BluewhalesneverrecoveredintheNorthPacific,makingsightingsinthisarearare.However,muchlargergroupsofwhaleshavebeenobservedclosetoCaliforniasincethe1970s.ThescientistshadpreviouslythoughtthattheCaliforniapopulationwasseparatefromthepopulationthathadhistoricallylivedintheNorthPacificwaters.ButthecurrentstudyshowsthatwhalesoffthecoastofBritishColumbiaandtheGulfofAlaskaarelikelypartoftheCaliforniapopulation.Toidentifythebluewhales,theresearcherslookedatphotosofcetaceanstakenintheNorthPacificOceanandcomparedthemwithalibraryofbluewhalepicturestakenalongthewestcoastoftheUnitedStatesandSouthernPacific.Uptonow,theresearchersarenotquitesurewhythewhalesarechangingtheirmigrationpatterns,buttheysuspectthatthewhalesmaybefollowingtheirfoodmovingfarthernorthbythechangesinoceanconditions.语篇解读本文主要讲的是蓝鲸的迁移以及有可能引起迁移的原因。5.Accordingtothepassage,bluewhalesare________.A.followingafixedrouteofmigrationB.dyingoutduetocommercialwhalingC.movingfromthesouthtothenorthD.rarelyfoundintheSouthernPacific答案与解析：C考查推理判断。根据最后一段最后一句中的“thewhalesmaybefollowingtheirfoodmovingfarthernorth〞可推出，蓝鲸正从南向北移动。应选C。6.ThewhalepopulationintheNorthPacific________.A.isdifferentfromtheCaliforniapopulationB.isprobablypartoftheCaliforniapopulationC.hasbecomethelargestgroupsincethe1970sD.haslivedtheresincethe1960s答案与解析：B考查细节理解。根据第四段中的“ButthecurrentstudyshowsthatwhalesoffthecoastofBritishColumbiaandtheGulfofAlaskaarelikelypartoftheCaliforniapopulation〞可知，选B。7.Theunderlinedword“cetaceans〞inParagraph5probablymeans________.A.landcreaturesB.whalespeciesC.oceanconditionsD.migrationpatterns答案与解析：B考查词义猜想。根据第五段中的“Toidentifythebluewhales，theresearcherslookedatphotosofcetaceanstakenintheNorthPacificOcean〞可知，为了识别蓝鲸，研究者看在北太平洋拍的有关cetaceans的照片，所以cetaceans应该指的是鲸类。应选B。8.Whatmightmakebluewhalesmigrateaccordingtotheresearchers?A.Commercialwhaling.B.Weatherconditions.C.Lifereproduction.D.Foodresources.答案与解析：D考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的“buttheysuspectthatthewhalesmaybefollowingtheirfoodmovingfarthernorth〞可知，研究者疑心蓝鲸有可能跟随着它们的食物向北移动。应选D。二、完形填空Afterthebirthofmysecondchild,Igotajobatarestaurant.Havingworkedwithanexperienced__9__forafewdays,Iwas__10__towaittablesonmyown.Allwent__11__thatfirstweek.WhenSaturdaynightcame,Iwasluckily__12__thetablesnotfarfromthekitchen.__13__,Istillfeltitalittlehardtocarrytheheavytrays(托盘)．BeforeIknewit,the__14__wasfullofpeople.Imovedslowly,__15__everystep.Irememberhow__16__IwaswhenIsawthetraystandnearthetables;itlookeddifferentfromtheoneIwas__17__on.Ithadnicehandles(手柄),whichmadeit__18__tomovearound.Iwaspleasedwitheverythingandbeganto__19__Iwasnaturalatthisjob.Then,anoldmancametomeandsaid,“Excuseme,dear,mywifeandIloved__20__youwork.Itseemsyourtraystandhasbeenvery__21__toyou,butwearegettingreadyto__22__now,andmywifeneedsher__23__back.〞Atfirsthis__24__didnotgetacross.“Whatwashetalkingabout！〞Then,Igotit.Ihadsetmytraysonhiswife'sorthopedicwalker(助步器).Istoodfrozenasice,butmyfacewas__25__.Iwantedtogetintoaholeand__26__.Sincethen,IhavelearnedfrommanymistakessuchastheoneIjust__27__.Ihavelearnedtobemore__28__andnottobetoosureofmyself.语篇解读本文描述了作者在饭店工作的一次经历，她深刻地感受到在任何时候都要小心仔细，不要太自信。9.A．managerB．assistantC．cookD．waitress答案与解析：D由第一句可知，她获得在饭店的一份工作；同时从下文对她工作的描述可知，与她一同工作的这个人应该是一位有经验的女效劳员(waitress)。10.A．promisedB．invitedC．allowedD．advised答案与解析：C通过几天的学习之后，我就“被允许〞单独效劳了。promise意为“许诺〞；invite意为“邀请〞；allow意为“允许〞；advise意为“建议〞。11.A．wellB．quicklyC．safelyD．wrong答案与解析：A与下文她工作失误相比照，第一周一切“顺利〞。只有well符合此意。12.A．leftB．givenC．broughtD．shown答案与解析：Bbeleft意为“被留下〞；begiven意为“被给予〞；bebrought意为“被带来〞；beshown意为“被展示〞。作为一名普通的效劳员，应该是“被给予〞。13.A．ThereforeB．HoweverC．OtherwiseD．Finally答案与解析：B由具体的语境可知，此处是表示转折的关系。前句表示“幸运的是效劳的餐桌距离厨房不远〞，但是端着沉重的托盘还是很吃力的。14.A．kitchenB．streetC．restaurantD．table答案与解析：C因为是在饭店工作，所以此处指的是饭店里挤满了人。15.A．mindingB．changingC．takingD．saving答案与解析：A由slo
