B.Freeze.C.Narrow. D.Disappear.答案D解析词义揣测题。依据画线词前面说降雨量削减,后面说鳄鱼可能会带领人们找新的水源可推想,池塘可能会消逝。move“移动”;freeze“结冰”;narrow“缩小”;disappear“消逝”。故选D项。35.Whatcanweinferfromthelastparagraph?A.Moreandmoretouristswillvisitthevillage.B.Thecrocodileswillprobablymovetoanewplace.C.Villagerswilltakemeasurestoprotectthecrocodiles.D.Thecrocodilesinthevillagearebecominglessandless.答案B解析推理推断题。依据最终一段的最终两句可推想,由于降雨量小,池塘可能会消逝,所以鳄鱼有可能会搬走。故选B项。其次节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。(2024·江苏无锡高一期末)U.N.ReportWarnsNatureCrisis(危机)AnewU.N.reportfocusesonthenegativeeffectsofhumanactivityonnature.Itsaysonemillionplantandanimalspeciesonland,intheseasandintheskyarenowindangerofextinction.The1,800reporttookthreeyearstofinish.36TheEarthhasalwayssufferedfromhumanactivities,itsays.However,thesescratches(划伤)havebecomedeepscars(伤疤)overthepast50years.Speciesaregoingtoextinctseveralhundredtimesfasterthantheaveragerateduringthepasttenmillionyears.It’ssomethingthathasneverhappenedbeforeinhumanhistory.
