语篇解谗：本文是一篇说明文。文率介绍了一神哀途飞行的精蜒Pantalaflavescenso

这种蜻蜒冒险长途飞行的原因是它的繁殖需要湿润的气候。

1.WhatprovesPantalaflavescensaretheworld'slongest-distanceflyers?

A.Scientistshavetrackedthedragonflyacrosstheworld.

B.TherearemanyPantalaflavescensinvariouscontinents.

C.ThesamedragonflywasfoundbothinAsiaandAmerica.

D.Pantalaflavescensindifferentcontinentshavesimilargenes.

解析：选D推理判断题。根据第二段内容可知，领导这项研究的生物学家说基因就

是证据。Pantalaflavescens靖蜓在不同的洲有可能留有后代，才会有相似的基因。反过来，

在不同的洲有共同的基因，证明了它们曾飞到过那儿，也就证明了这种蜻蜒是长途飞行者。

2.WhathelpsPantalaflavescensflyoversolongdistance?

A・Theirspecialbodyshape.

B.Theirabilitytousewind.

C.Theirsmallandlightbodies.

D.Theirlargeandstrongwings.

解析：选B推理判断题。根据第三段中的Thesedragonflieshaveadaptationssuchas

increasedsurfaceareasontheirwingsthatenablethemtousethewindtocarrythem.可

知，这些蜻蜓适应性强，比如翅膀上表面积的增加，使它们能够利用风来飞行。故B项（运

用风飞行的能力）正确。

3.WhatisnecessaryforPantalaflavescenstoreproduce?

A.Dampweather.B.Enoughsunshine.

C.Dryenvironment.D.Warmnests.

解析：选A细节理解题。根据第五段首句中的WetnessisamustforPantalato

4.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“it”inParagraph5referto?

A.Theweather.B.Theinsect.

C.Thewind.D.Thetrip.

解析：选D代词指代题。根据第五段内容可知，对于这种昆虫来说，这种危险的长

途飞行是自杀式行为。虽然许多昆虫会死在途中，但这种物种依靠这种长途飞行生存下来。

从后面一Whilemanywilldieontheroute,aslongasenoughmakeit,thespeciessurvives.

可知，it指上文的危险长途飞行。

6.Whatdoestheunderlinedword“them”inParagraph4referto?

interestedinthemthroughmakingfriendsfromdifferentplaces可知，作者发现他最好的朋

友是来自其他国家。作者对其他国家不太了解，但通过结交来自不同地方的朋友使作者对

它们更感兴趣了。由此可推知，此处them指不同的国家。

语篇解说不王亮三舐丽文：支睾齐氮了一栋因凝特的设计而获联卖的海滨前塞厂

这栋别墅既抗风防浪，又美观坚固。

9.Theaward-winningbeachhouseisquitestrongbecause・

A.itisstrengthenedbysteelrods

B.itismadeofredwood

C.itisintheshapeofashell

D.itisbuiltwithtimberandconcrete

解析：选A细节理解题。根据第三段中的Thewoodenframeofthehouseisreinforced

withlongsteelrodstogiveitextrastrength.可知，别墅的木制框架用长钢条加固，这给了它

额外的强度，因此非常牢固。

10.Huffraisedthehouse2.7metersoffthegroundontimberpilingsinorderto

A.withstandpeakwindsofabout200km/hr

B.anchorstrongerpilingsdeepinthesand

C.breakhugeseawavesintosmallerones

D.preventwaterfromrushingintothehouse

解析：选D细节理解题。根据第四段第二至四句可知，桩基可能看起来不安全，但

它们足够坚固来支撑别壁的重量。它们还能将别墅抬高到风暴潮以上。由此可知，Huff用

木桩基将别壁抬高到离地面2・7米以上是为了当风暴潮来临时，风暴潮可以从别墅下面冲过

去，而不会冲进别壁。

11.Themainfunctionoftheshellis.

A.tostrengthenthepilingsofthehouse

B.togivethehouseabetterappearance

C.toprotectthewoodenframeofthehouse

D.toslowdownthespeedoftheswellingwater

解析：选B推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的Theshellmasksthepilingssothatthe

housedoesn，tlooklikeifsstandingwithitspantspulledup可知，外壳遮盖了木桩，这样

别墅看起来不会像卷起裤腿站着的样子，即外壳遮盖木桩是为了让别墅外观更美。

12.Itcanbeinferredfromthepassagethattheshellshouldbe.

A.fancy-lookingB.waterproof

C.easilybreakableD.extremelystrong

解析：选C推理判断题。根据最后一段中的Intheeventofastormsurge,theshell

shouldbreakapartandletthewavesrushunderthehouse,thearchitectexplained.可知,在

风暴潮涌来的情况下，别墅外壳会裂开，让海浪从别墅下面冲过去。由此可以推断，外壳

应该很容易破裂。

一语篇解读:一近至二篇夜丽受二支率介绍了人和动荡籥妻雇读?的一些理论以及做灰扇套

要性。

1.选C根据前一句Whenlabratsarenotallowedtosleep,theydiewithinamonth.

可知，如果实验室里的老鼠不睡觉，一个月它们就死了。同样，人几天不睡觉，也会生病。

人和动物形成对应，死和生病形成对应，故选C。

2.选E前一句提到睡觉有助于我们加强新的记忆。所以学生在学习新知识后如果有

机会睡一觉，他们在考试中就会表现得更好，前后为因果关系，故选E。

3.选F根据下文中的he可知，此处要提到一个人以及他的理论，故选F。

4.选G根据下文中提到的关键词synapsesinthemice以及整个句子可知，他肯定做

了关于老鼠的实验，G项中的synapses和mice,都与他的实验有关，故选G。

5.选B根据后一句提到的Youkeepwhatmatters（你记住重要的东西）可知，大脑会

把最重要的记忆保存下来，前后逻辑关系顺畅，故选B。

扰野生动物生活的反思。

5.Whatdoesthevideofeature?

A.Thebabybear*sclimbing.

B.Themamabear'scare.

C.Thedangerousenvironment.

D.Theexperimentbyscientists.

B.Becausetheywereagainstotherscientists.

C.Becausetheyknewthecauseofthebear,sclimbing.

D.Becausetheylackedunderstandingofthedroneoperator

解析：选C细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知，因为科学家们知道使得这两只熊攀

爬雪山的原因，而且明白它们是冒着生命危险在爬山，所以才为熊的处境担忧。

7.Whatmaybetheeffectofhumandisturbanceonwildlife?

A.Foodshortage.

B.Changinghabitats.

C.Ecologicalimbalance.

D.Lesscontactwithhumans.

解析：选C推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的manymammalsareturninginto“night

owls“againtoavoidcontactwithhumans.Suchashiftmightnotonlyaffectthosespecies

themselves,butalsohavenumerouschaineffects.许多哺乳动物变成了"夜猫子"以

避免和人类接触，而这种变化不仅影响了这个物种本身，而且还会引起一系列的连锁反应；

由此可推断，人类对野生生物的干扰可能会导致生态失衡。

8.Whatdoestheauthorseemtoagreewith?

A.Losingconnectionwithnature.

B.Tighteningthebondwithwildanimals.

C.Respectingthehuman-animaldistance.

D.Shootingmorevideosonanimalsforstudy.
