B．Thedisappearanceofgoodland.C．Causingthelandqualitytogetworse. D．Makinglandsuitableforfarmingorbuilding.答案：D解析：词义猜测题。根据文章第三段becauseofurban,industrialandagriculturallandexpansion及前后内容可知，由于城市、工业和农业用地的扩张，可以猜测出landreclamation意为“土地开垦”，所以Makinglandsuitableforfarmingorbuilding.的表述符合该词义。故选D。3．Manybirdsdieonthewayofmigrationmainlybecausethey________.A．areharmedbyhumans B．arekilledbyotheranimalsC．havetotakealongjourney D．havenosafeplacetorestandeat答案：D解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中的Theproblem,accordingtoscientists,isthatmanyofthesesmallbirdsdiealongtheirmigrationpathsbecausetheydon'thaveasafeplacetofeedandrest.Thereisnoplacetorestore(恢复)theirenergyforthenextpartoftheirjourney.可知，迁徙中死去的鸟主要是因为在迁徙途中没有可供休息和进食的安全地点。故选D。4．Accordingtotheresearchers,howcanweprotectthemigratingbirds?A．Bykeepingfewercatsordogs.B．Bystoppingtheurbandevelopment.C．Byhelpingchangethebirds'migrationpaths.D．Bypreservingthelocalecologicalenvironments.答案：D解析：推理判断题。文章最后两段是说，各国需要合作，为路过的鸟类提供安全的栖息地。各国可以做一些工作，把该国的城镇区域变成鸟类安全的栖息地。结合最后所列举的两项举措我们可推知，要保护好迁徙的鸟类，我们就要保护好地方生态环境。故选D。Ⅱ.七选五Smalltalkisagoodwaytomakefriends.Ifyoutraveltoothercountriesorhavefriendsfromabroad,doyouknowhowtousesmalltalktomakeconversation?InBritain,thebesttopicistheweather.Britishweatherischangingallthetime.__1__Besidesweather,it'sgoodtotalkaboutgardenswithEnglishpeople.Youcouldsay“Thoseroseslookreallybeautiful,don'tthey？”__2__Soit'salsonicetostartwith“Whatalovelydog!Whatisitsname？”InAmerica,peopleliketotalkaboutsportsnews,suchasAmericanfootballandbasketball.__3__Soyoumightsay“It'saniceshirt!Wheredidyougetit？”Weatherisasafetopicthere,too.__4__Don'taskpeople“Howoldareyou？”Neverask:“Howmuchmoneydoyoumake？”Itmakespeopleunfortable.Don'taskstrangerswhethertheyaremarried.__5__Thereareothersinourdailylife.A．Englishpeoplelovetheirpets.B．Americansalsotalkaboutclothes.C．Politicsorreligionisnotagoodtopic.D．Onlyafewtopicsarenotusedforsmalltalk.E．Therearealsoalotoftopicstoavoidduringsmalltalk.F．Youcanstartchattingbysaying“It'salovelydaytoday,isn'tit？”G．Friendsareimportanttousall,buthowtomakefriendsisaproblem.本文是一篇说明文，介绍了怎样和外国人开启一个聊天的话题。1．F解析：根据本空前的“InBritain,thebesttopicistheweather.”可知，在英国，天气是最好的话题，故F项(你可以这样开始聊天：“今天天气真好，不是吗？”)符合语境。2．A解析：根据本空后的“Soit'salsonicetostartwith‘Whatalovelydog!Whatisitsname？’”可知，以“多么可爱的狗狗啊！它叫什么？”开启一段对话也很好，故A项(英国人喜欢他们的宠物)符合语境。3．B解析：根据本空后的“Soyoumightsay‘It'saniceshirt!Wheredidyougetit？’”可知，你也可以说“衬衫很不错！你在哪里买的？”，故B项(美国人也谈论服饰)符合语境。4．E解析：根据本空后的“Don'taskpeople‘Howoldareyou？’Neverask:‘Howmuchmoneydoyoumake？’”可知，不要问别人的年龄和薪水，故E项(在闲聊中也有很多话题要避免)符合语境。5．C解析：根据本空前的内容可知，本段举例说明聊天时要避免的话题，故C项(政治和宗教不是一个好的话题)符合语境。Ⅲ.读后续写阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。SaraSavickremembersonespecialEasterwhenshewasnineyearsold.Herparentsgaveherababyducklinginayellowbasket.“Momsaidlaterthatsheboughtthelittleduckbecauseshefeltsorryforit，”recalledSara.ThepeopleatthepetstorecoloredthefeatherspinkforEaster.SaranamedtheduckPinky.Sara'smotherreallydidn'tthinkthebabyduckwouldsurviveverylong.Buttohersurprise,Pinkygrewandgotstrongerandstronger.Soon,thelittleducklingwasahealthy,hungryduckwithwhitefeathers.“WefedPinkyoatmeal,cookedanduncooked,andsmallpiecesofvegetables，”saidSara.PinkylivedinsidethehousewithSaraandherfamily.ShespeciallyfanciedtakingbathswithSara.EveryonetreatedPinkyasafamilymember.Butjustwheneverythingappearedtobeperfect,thenightofthe“talk”came.Sara'smomanddadsatherdown,explainingthatthebestthingforPinkywastoliveanormalducklife,withotherducks.Itwasnotnaturalforduckstoliveindoorswithafamily,herfathertoldher.HeaddedPinkyneededtoswiminpondsanddoallthesamethingsthatducksinthewilddo.Sarastartedtocry,knowingwhatwasgoingtohappen.Sara'sparentsdecidedtotakePinkytoapark,whichwastwomilesaway.Therewasapondwithalotofotherducks.PinkywouldhavethechancetoliveanaturallifeandSaracouldstillvisither.Thebigdaycame,SaraandherparentsputPinkyinaboxanddrovetothepark.SarasaidthatPinkydidnotlookhappy;maybePinkywasconvincedthatshewasahuman,notaduck.答案Paragraph1：EveryonewassadwhentheyleftPinkyatthepond,evenSara'sfather.ButhetriedtoconvinceSarathatPinkywasfine.Walkingtowardsthecar,SaralookedoverhershoulderandsawPinkystandingalone.Theotherduckswereswimmingaroundincircles,lookingatPinky.ToSara,itseemedthat
