D.Pollutioninseasandoceansharmswildlife.【答案】4.C5.B6.D【解析】本文是一篇新聞報道，介紹了海洋污染正威脅著海洋中的野生動物——最近一頭幼年抹香鯨在西班牙海岸發現死于吞食大量垃圾，環境保護組織呼吁人們提高海洋環境保護意識。【4題詳解】細節理解題。根據第一段中的“AyoungspermwhalediscovereddeadoffthecoastofSpaindiedfromeatingalotofrubbish.”可知，這頭幼年抹香鯨死于吞食了大量的垃圾，故C項正確。【5題詳解】詞義猜測題。根據第四段“ConsueloRosauro，thegovernment＇sdirectorforthenaturalenvironment，said，＂Theplasticsinseasandoceansareoneofthebiggestdangerstotheprotectionofwildlifeintheworld.＂＂Manyanimalsgetcaughtintherubbishoreatalotofplastics，whichendupcausingtheirdeath，sheadded.＂TheproblemiscommonintheMurciaarea，andwemustsolveitbytakingclean-upactionsand，aboveall，increasingawarenessoflocalpeople.”（政府的自然環境主管康蘇埃洛·羅紹羅說：“海洋中的塑料是保護世界野生動物的最大威脅之一，她補充說，很多動物被困在垃圾里，或者吃了很多塑料，最終導致它們死亡，這個問題在穆爾西亞地區很常見，我們必須通過采取清理行動來解決它，最重要的是，提高當地居民的意識”）可知，羅紹羅的話表明當地居民保護野生動物的意識應該提高，故B項正確。【6題詳解】主旨大意題。通讀全文，特別是根據第一段中的“AyoungspermwhalediscovereddeadoffthecoastofSpaindiedfromeatingalotofrubbish.”（一頭幼年抹香鯨在西班牙海岸發現死于吞食大量垃圾）可知，本文主要介紹的是海洋污染威脅著海洋中的野生動物，故D項正確。CThroughouthistory,peoplehavealwaysbeensurprisedattheintelligenceofsomebirds.Crows(烏鴉)aresuchanexample.Crows’brainisonlyaboutthesizeofahumanthumb,sohowsmartcouldtheybe?Whileacrow’sbrainmayseemsmallcomparedwithahumanbrain,whatmattersisthesizeofthebraininrelationtothesizeoftheanimal.AccordingtoProfessorJohnMarzluffattheUniversityofWashington’sAviationConservationLab,acrowisactuallyaflyingmonkey.WhetheritisafriendlymonkeyormorelikeabadoneinTheWizardofOzdependsalotonwhatyouhavedonetoit(oranyofitsfriends).Canyoutellonecrowfromanother?Inthisway,acrowmaybesmarterthanyoubecauseitcanrecognizehumanfaces.Marzluff’steamcaughtsomecrows,mademarksonthemandreleasedthem.Membersoftheteamworedifferentmasks.Crowswouldattackpeoplewearingamask,butonlyifthemaskhadbeenwornbysomeonewhohadtroubledthem.Ifyouthinktwocrowsthatarewatchingyouandcryingtoeachotheraretalkingaboutyou,youareprobablyright.InMarzluff’sstudy,evencrowsthatwerenevercaughtattackedscientists.Howdidthecrowsdescribetheirattackerstoothercrows?Theircommunicationispoorlyunderstood.Theintensity(強度),rhythm,andlastingtimeofcryingseemtoformthebasisofapossiblelanguage.Itturnsoutthatcrowscanpassonangertotheirchildren-eventhelittlecrowsattackedmaskedscientists.Anothercaseaboutcrows’greatmemorycomesfromChatham,Ontarrio.AroundhalfamillioncrowswouldstopinChathamduringtheirregulartravel,puttingthefarmingcommunity’scropsindanger.Headofthetowndeclaredwar(宣戰)oncrowsandthehuntbegan.Sincethen,thecrowshave,whenpassingChatham,flownhighenoughtoavoidbeingshot.However,thisdidn’tstopthemfromleavingdroppingsalloverthetown.7.WhydoesProfessorJohnMarzluffcallacrowaflyingmonkey?A.Becauseitlookslikeamonkey.

B.Crows’communication.C.Crows’braindevelopment. D.Crowsaresmarterthanwehaveimagined.【答案】7.C8.A9.A10.D【解析】【分析】這是一篇說明文。文章主要講述了烏鴉的智慧和聰明，它們能夠識別那些傷害過它們的人的臉，會彼此間交流，會巧妙地避開人類的捕殺。【7題詳解】推理判斷題。根據文章第二段內容“WhetheritisafriendlymonkeyormorelikeabadoneinTheWizardofOzdependsalotonwhatyouhavedonetoit(oranyofitsfriends).”可知，它是一只友好的猴子，還是《綠野仙蹤》里的一只壞猴子，很大程度上取決于你對它(或它的朋友)做了什么，由此可知，猴子很聰明，將烏鴉比作為“flyingmonkey”應是因為烏鴉和猴子一樣聰明，而烏鴉有翅膀能飛。故選C項。【8題詳解】細節理解題。根據文章第三段末尾內容“Crowswouldattackpeoplewearingamask,butonlyifthemaskhadbeenwornbysomeonewhohadtroubledthem.”可知，烏鴉會攻擊戴著面具的人，但前提是面具是曾經騷擾過它們的人戴的。故選A項。【9題詳解】細節理解題。根據文章第五段內容“AroundhalfamillioncrowswouldstopinChathamduringtheirregulartravel,puttingthefarmingcommunity’scropsindanger.”可知，向烏鴉宣戰是因為大約50萬只烏鴉在它們的定期旅行中會在查塔姆停留，這將危及農業社區的農作物。故選A項。【10題詳解】主旨大意題。根據文章結構為總分結構，文章首段提出了本文的中心話題：Crows’brainisonlyaboutthesizeofahumanthumb,sohowsmartcouldtheybe?(烏鴉的大腦只有人的拇指那么大，它們能有多聰明呢?)且文章其他段落圍繞該主題“烏鴉的聰明”進行了詳細講述。選項D“Crowsaresmarterthanwehaveimagined.”（烏鴉比我們想象的更聰明）合理概括了文章主題。故選D項。【點睛】找到主題句，標題好判斷抓主題句是快速掌握文章大意的主要方法，同時可以幫助判斷標題的選擇。主題句一般出現在文章的開頭或結尾。主題句具有簡潔性、概括性的特點。比如文章的第4小題：4.Whichofthefollowingcanbethebesttitleforthetext?A.Crowsneverforget.B.Crows’communication.C.Crows’braindevelopment.D.Crowsaresmarterthanwehaveimagined.通過閱讀可知，本文為總分結構，主題句在文章首段存在，即“Crows’brainisonlyaboutthesizeofahumanthumb,sohowsmartcouldtheybe?(烏鴉的大腦只有人的拇指那么大，它們能有多聰明呢?)”，文章通過演繹法對此主題進行了講述。與該主題句表達相同的為選項D“Crowsaresmarterthanwehaveimagined.”，由此可知，D項為最佳標題。第二節根據短文內容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項，選項中有兩項為多余選項。Areyoualwaysstressedaboutyourhomework?Doyouoftenfindyourselfinapositionwhereyoucaneitherdoallofyourhomeworkorhaveasociallife?_____11_____Hereisaguidetogettingyouontherighttrack.Writedownyourhomework,andmakesureyouknowwhattodo.Useadayplanneroracalendartostayorganized._____12_____Writeasmanydetailsasyoucanabouttheassignment.Youmustincludewhentheassignmentisdue,anynecessarytextbookpages,andthingsyourteachersaysyoumustinclude._____13_____Beforechoosingaspecificworkplace,thinkofquietplacewhereyoucanworkforalongtime,whilehavingaccesstoresourcessuchastextbooks,computers,books,dictionaries,etc.Goodlocationalsoincludesyourtownorschoollibrary.Gobacktoyourtaskimmediatelyaftertakingastudybreak._____14_____Yourmindwillbeclearedandreadytowork.Doanythingyouputintheseconddocumentnow.Onceyouhavefinishedyourstudyandhaveactuallyattemptedthehardertasksatleast3or4times,youcanconsideryourselffinished.Anythingyouhavenotfinishedcanwaituntilthenextday,whenyouwillbeabletoaskyourteacherorfellowstudents.Makefulluseofsparetime.Usefreetimeduringorbetweenclassestostarthomeworkandmakesureyoustartasearlyaspossible,becauseifyoustartdoingworktoolateintheevening.youwillbegintogettiredmoreeasilyanditwillbeharderforyoutofocusonthework._____15_____Don’tspendtoolittletimeonyourhomework,butdon’tburyyourselfinit.Don’twaituntilthelastminutetogetstarted.A.Thismakeseverythingmucheasier.B.Createacomfortablehomeworkspot.C.Becauseyouwillbeabletoworkbetterafterabreak.D.Thetruthisthathomeworkdoesnothavetobethathard.E.Startingearliermakesyourmindbecomemoreawakeandactive.F.Whenyouaredonewiththat,allyouhavegotistheeasyhomework.G.Itisnecessarytotakeastudybreakthoughyoudon’tfinishyourhomework.【答案】11.D12.A13.B14.C15.E【解析】這是一篇說明文。文章主要講述了如何正確應對家庭作業的方法指導。【11題詳解】根據前文“Areyoualwaysstressedaboutyourhomework?Doyouoftenfindyourselfinapositionwhereyoucaneitherdoallofyourhomeworkorhaveasociallife?(你總是對你的家庭作業感到壓力嗎?你是否經常發現自己處于一種既要完成所有作業又要進行社交生活的狀態?)”可知，這里講到了家庭作業的“艱難”，后文“Hereisaguidetogettingyouontherighttrack.”提及可以有一個正確的處理該問題的指導，因此設空句起到承前啟后作用，應提及“其實沒有那么難”。選項D“Thetruthisthathomeworkdoesnothavetobethathard.(事實上，家庭作業并不需要那么難。)”句中“thetruth”包含轉折含義，與前文形成轉折關系，與前后句在語意上銜接緊密，可起到承前啟后的作用。故選D項。【12題詳解】根據前文“Writedownyourhomework，andmakesureyouknowwhattodo.Useadayplanneroracalendartostayorganized.(寫下你的作業，并確保你知道要做什么。使用一天計劃或日歷來保持井井有條。)”可知，提到了方法之一，因此設空句應解釋該方法的意義：這使事情變得簡單。選項A“Thismakeseverythingmucheasier.”中“this”指代前文內容，與其相呼應，語意符合語境。故選A項。【13題詳解】設空句為本段主題句。根據后文“Beforechoosingaspecificworkplace,thinkofquietplacewhereyoucanworkforalongtime,whilehavingaccesstoresourcessuchastextbooks,computers,books,dictionaries,etc.Goodlocationalsoincludesyourtownorschoollibrary.(在選擇一個特定的工作地點之前，想一個你可以長時間工作的安靜的地方，同時可以獲得諸如教科書、電腦、書籍、字典等資源。好的地理位置還包括你所在的城市或學校的圖書館。)”可知，本段在講述如何選擇一個適合做家庭作業的地點。選項B“Createacomfortablehomeworkspot.(創造一個舒適的做作業的地方。)”貼合本段主題。故選B項。【14題詳解】設空句緊跟在主題句之后，應對其進行進一步解釋。根據主題句“Gobacktoyourtaskimmediatelyaftertakingastudybreak.”提及了在學習休息之后立即回到任務中，因此設空句應對“學習休息之后立即回到任務中”進行原因解釋。選項C“Becauseyouwillbeabletoworkbetterafterabreak.(因為休息之后你能更好地工作。)”解釋了原因，符合語境。故選C項。【15題詳解】根據前文“Usefreetimeduringorbetweenclassestostarthomeworkandmakesureyoustartasearlyaspossible,becauseifyoustartdoingworktoolateintheevening,youwillbegintogettiredmoreeasilyanditwillbeharderforyoutofocusonthework.(利用課間或課間的空閑時間開始做作業，并確保你盡可能早開始，因為如果你在晚上很晚才開始做作業的話，你會更容易感到疲倦，也更難專注于工作。)”可知，本段在講述利用空閑時間，盡早開始做作業。選項E“Startingearliermakesyourmindbecomemoreawakeandactive.(早點開始可以讓你的大腦變得更加清醒和活躍。)”貼合本段主題“startingearlier”，且與前文“ifyoustartdoingworktoolateintheevening,youwillbegintogettiredmoreeasilyanditwillbeharderforyoutofocusonthework”形成對比，符合語境。故選E項。第三部分語言運用第一節完形填空閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給四個選項A、B、C和D中，選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。MostcollegestudentsintheUnitedStateschoosetheirmainfieldofstudyfortheirdegreebeforeorduringtheirfirstyear.ForSaskiaFagan,makingthatchoicewasnot___16___.Fagan,whoisnow31yearsold,___17___TakomaPark,Maryland.Fromanearlyage,sheloved___18___.SobeforeshebeganstudyingatFrostburgSatesUniversityinFrostburg,Marylandin2004,she___19___tobecomeadogtrainer.Unfortunately,FrostburgStateUniversitydidnot___20___anydegreeprogramsaboutdogtraining.Fagan___21___tostudypsychology(心理學),instead.Afew___22___later,shefounditdullandturnedtobiology.Butquickly,she___23___thatshedidnotwanttospendherlifeworkingina___24___.Inhersecondyear,shechangedhermajortoanotherfieldofinterest:fineart.Aftertwoyearsofstudyingfineart,_____25_____Faganfeltthatshepreferredartassomethingshedidjustfor_____26_____,notforwork.Soshemadeone_____27_____changeintofieldcalledliberalstudies(通識教育).Thatfieldletherdesignamajorbasedonamixtureofdifferentsubjects.Faganfinally_____28_____herdegreeprogramin2011—sevenyearsaftershestarted.Thecostofaddingextratimetoearnadegreecreatedsome_____29_____,shesaid.But,she_____30_____thattakingthetimetofindtheperfectfieldshewastruly_____31_____alsohelpedleadhertoajobthat_____32_____her.Faganisnowamapdesigner.FromFagan’sexperience,Ilearnthatitis_____33_____importanttoknowwhatwedon’twanttodo.Wecangetgreatlearningexperiencesfromtheprocess,too,whetherthat’samajorthatwetriedbutdidn’t_____34_____orajobthatwehadforayear.Knowingwhichpathisnotsuitableforusisjustas_____35_____asknowingwhichpathwewant.16.A.proper
