Kiwis
are
unique
in
a
lot
of
interesting
ways.
They
have
many
characteristics
that
are
not
found
in
any
other
bird.
???
It
is
assumed
that
the
kiwi's
ancestor
was
able
to
fly
and
reached
New
Zealand.
Once
on
the
island,
it
lost
its
ability
to
fly
and
eventually
became
the
kiwi
known
today.
Kiwis
have
feathers
that
look
like
hair
and
very
strong
and
muscular
legs.
They
rule
the
ground
instead
of
the
air.
They
can
smell
very
well.
Kiwis
are
quite
shy
and
usually
only
come
out
at
night.
Kiwis
can
live
a
long
time,
between
25
and
50
years.
???
A
female
kiwi
carries
a
huge
egg
about
its
body
size.
The
kiwi
is
about
the
same
size
as
a
chicken
but
its
egg
is
actually
six
times
as
large
as
a
chicken's
egg.
The
reason
for
this
is
that
the
kiwi
doesn't
have
to
fly,
so
there
aren't
any
limits
on
its
weight.
The
female
has
to
eat
three
times
as
much
as
usual
to
help
the
egg
develop.
Right
before
the
egg
is
laid
she
can't
eat
anything
because
the
egg
presses
against
her
stomach,
leaving
no
room
for
food.
???
All
kiwi
species
are
endangered.
On
average,
twenty-seven
die
each
week.
They
have
been
affected
most
by
deforestation
and
invasive
mammals.
Before
humans
came
to
New
Zealand,
the
only
mammals
on
the
island
were
bats
and
seals.
The
kiwi
never
had
to
worry
about
predators
before,
but
now
since
it
cannot
fly,
and
lays
its
eggs
on
the
ground,
it
is
pretty
defenceless
against
invasive
mammals
such
as
rats
and
stoats.
Stoats
kill
a
lot
of
the
chicks,
while
dogs
kill
a
lot
of
adult
birds,
usually
by
accident,
because
they
are
quite
delicate
(脆弱的)
.
1.Which
is
kiwis'
unique
characteristic?
A.They
can't
fly
with
no
wings.
B.They
can
live
more
than
50
years.
C.They
rule
the
air
instead
of
the
ground.
D.They
seldom
or
never
come
out
in
the
daytime.
2.Why
does
a
female
kiwi
carry
a
huge
egg?
A.It
eats
three
limes
as
much
as
usual.
B.It
focuses
too
much
on
developing
its
egg.
C.Its
body
weight
will
increase
without
limit.
D.The
egg
presses
against
her
stomach.
3.Which
kind
of
mammal
does
no
harm
to
kiwis?
A.The
bat.
B.The
rat.
C.The
stoat.
D.The
dog.
4.Which
is
a
suitable
title
for
the
passage?
A.Endangered

On
August
25,
Hurricane
Harvey
made
landfall
in
southern
Texas.
The
storm
lasted
for
days,
pouring
almost
60
inches
of
rain.
The
downpour
caused
widespread
flooding,
forcing
more
than
32,000
people
into
shelters
and
damaging
the
city's
water
supply
system.
???
The
only
silver
lining
is
that
disasters
like
these
seem
to
unite
people.
While
the
number
of
organisations
and
individuals
that
have
gone
all
out
to
assist
the
victims
is
too
many
to
list,
here
are
some
highlights
of
the
outpouring
of
support
that
has
made
headlines
this
past
week.
???
A
week
ago,
NFL
player
JJ
Watt
set
up
a
website
with
a
goal
to
raise
$200,000.
Soon
he
has
collected
over
$18
million,
and
the
donations
keep
pouring
in.
The
thrilled
football
star
wants
to
ensure
the
money
is
used
where
needed,
saying,
"We're
trying
to
make
sure
it
goes
directly
to
the
people.
So
our
first
wave
of
operation
is
well
have
nine
semi-trucks
going
out
there
and
I
will
go
straight
into
the
communities
and
hand
stuff
out
there."
???
Ordinary
individuals
are
not
shying
away
from
helping
either.
Jim
McIngvale,
the
owner
of
a
furniture
store,
turned
his
two
100,000-square-foot
warehouses
into
shelters.
When
asked
if
he
was
concerned
about
the
furniture
that
was
being
used
by
those
living
there,
he
responded,
"These
people
are
nice.
They're
taking
care
of
the
furniture.
Furniture's
made
to
be
sat
on,
slept
on
or
laid
on.
It's
just
a
product."
???
There
are
also
many
unsung
heroes
that
are
putting
their
lives
at
risk
to
help
others.
After
discovering
an
elderly
man
trapped
inside
his
truck,
local
people
made
a
human
chain
through
the
dangerous
water
to
drag
him
to
safety.
???
While
there
is
not
much
anyone
could
have
done
to
prevent
the
loss,
people
across
the
US
are
doing
everything
they
can
to
help
its
people
recover.
1.Which

best
replace
the
underlined
words
"silver
lining"

Watt
most
probably
feel
about
the

did
Jim
McIngvale
do
to
help
the

helped
to
save
them
from
drowning.

offered
them
a
place
to
live
in.

provided
work
for
them
in
his
store.

to
them
cheaply.

spirit
does
the

mainly
intend
to
praise?

???
Parts
of
Africa
are
covered
by
a
dark
cloud.
But
this
is
no
rain
cloud.
It
is
a
living
cloud
made
of
billions
of
locusts(蝗虫)
that
are
travelling
across
the
continent
eating
everything
in
their
path.
???
And
now
in
the
battle
to
stop
this
disaster,
a
radio
station
in
Senegal,
West
Africa,
is
offering
listeners
50
kilograms
of
rice
if
they
can
catch
and
kill
50
kilograms
of
locusts.
"We
think
this
idea
will
get
more
people
to
take
part
in
the
war
on
the
locusts,"
said
Abdoulaye
Ba,
from
Sud-FM,
a
radio
station
in
one
of
Senegal's
worst
affected
areas.
???
This
is
West
Africa's
biggest
locust
disaster
in
15
years,
and
it
is
moving
east,
causing
huge
damage
to
crops.
As
they
move
they
produce
young
and
increase
their
number
and
will
soon
threaten(威胁)
Sudan
in
the
northeast
of
Africa.
Some
say
it
could
reach
Asia.
???
Experts
say
the
harmful
effect
on
crops
in
areas
already
suffering
from
food
shortage
and
war
could
cause
many
people
to
go
hungry.
Governments
in
the
areas
are
not
well
equipped
to
fight
the
pest.
???
Although
leaders
of
12
countries
have
agreed
on
a
plan,
it
is
not
expected
to
be
enough.
"We
are
now
treating
6,
000
hectares(公顷)
per
day
with
pesticide(杀虫剂)
,but
we
need
to
treat
20,
000
hectares
per
day
in
order
to
have
any
hope
of
controlling
this
disaster,"
said
Mohamed
Abdallahi
Ould
Babah,
director
of
locust
control
in
Mauritania.
???
"Requests
are
being
made
for
international
aid,
which
is
the
only
way
to
limit
the
disaster,"
the
Food
and
Agriculture
Organisation
of
the
United
Nations
warned.
1.By
using
"dark
cloud"
to
describe

of
the
article

rain
and
the
locusts
B.suggested

have
caused
in
the
world
C.warned
that
locusts
would
sweep
the
continent
like
rain
clouds
D.showed
the

in
fighting
a
disaster.
B.The
difficulty
in
controlling
locusts.
C.How
locusts
caused
great
damage
to

Africa.
3.The
locust
disaster
_________.

be
even
more
serious
in
Asia
B.is
out
of

be
stopped
unless
twice
as
much
pesticide
is
provided
for

areas
4.Which
of
the
following
is
NOT
TRUE
according
to
the

more
people
would
join
in
the
effort.
B.Senegal
is

the
west

Sudan.
C.The
locusts
can
cause
such

enemy
in

Africa.
D.12

Be
a
Green
Child
???
What
does
it
mean
to
be
green?
"Green"
is
more
than
just
a
colour.
It
also
means
taking
special
steps
to
protect
the
environment.
Why
green?
Plants
are
green,
and
without
them
the
Earth
wouldn't
be
such
a
lovely
home
for
us
human
beings.
What
can
we
do?
①_____________
???
Reduce
It!
???
②_____________
For
instance,
a
shorter
shower
means
you
used
less
water
and
less
fuel
since
your
house
uses
fuel
to
run
the
heater
that
warms
up
the
water.
???
Reuse
It!
???
Sometimes
people
call
ours
a
"throwaway
society".
It
means
that
we're
a
little
too
willing
to
throw
away
old
stuff(东西)
and
buy
new
stuff.
③_____________
For
instance,
if
your
baby
brother
becomes
older
and
loses
interest
in
his
plastic
basketball
hoop(篮圈),
why
not
give
it
to
another
family
who
has
a
little
kid?
???
Recycle
It!
???
Recycling
has
never
been
easier.
Many
communities
will
pick
it
up
right
in
front
of
your
house
and
some
towns
even
require
it.
Recycled
goods
go
to
a
recycling
centre,
where
they
can
be
turned
into
new
cans,
bottles,
and
paper.
???
Enjoy
It!
???
It's
true
that
rubbish
and
pollution
are
problems,
but
the
Earth
remains
a
huge
and
beautiful
place
that's
ready
for
you
to
explore.
④_____________
Go
for
a
hike,
visit
local
nature
centres
and
gardens,
and
climb
up
mountains.
???
But
before
you
travel
the
globe,
take
a
look
at
your
own
backyard.
Is
there
a
spot
where
you
could
plant
a
tree
or
put
in
a
little
fruit
or
vegetable
garden?
⑤_____________
???
A.?Here's
a
four-step
guide
to
being
green.
???
B.?Many
times,
even
if
you
no
longer
need
something,
someone
else
just
might.
???
C.?You
can
start
locally
by
visiting
the
naturally
beautiful
spots
in
your
city.
???
D.?Turn
off
the
water
when
you're
brushing
your
teeth.
???
E.?Get
out
there
and
get
your
hands
dirty.
???
F.?You
can
watch
with
pride
as
your
tree
takes
root
and
your
garden
plants
grow.
???
G.?When
you
use
less
of
something,
you
do
a
good
thing
for
the
Earth.

第二节
(满分25分)
阅读下面短文,
根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
These
days
our
society
develops
rapidly
and
forces
people
to
rush.
It
appears
that
people
have
got
used
to
being
in
a
hurry.
However,
it's
better
for
people
to
take
their
time
and
live
their
life
at
a
slower
pace
than
to
hurry
to
get
things
done.
The
main
reason
that
convinces
us
to
oppose
doing
work
in
a
hurry
is
the
possibility
of
doing
wrongs
in
a
rush.
When
people
do
their
jobs
or
take
action
in
a
hurry,
they
can't
make
a
sound
decision
and
probably
regret
later.
As
the
saying
goes,
'Haste
makes
waste.'
We
should
think
carefully
before
making
a
decision
and
do
our
work
less
quickly.
We
should
not
make
mistakes
by
doing
work
hurriedly.
Slowing
down
the
pace
of
life
helps
people
enjoy
their
life
better.
For
example,
taking
a
train
to
some
place
certainly
will
take
more
time
than
taking
a
plane.
However,
taking
a
train
makes
people
have
enough
time
to
get
to
know
a
lot
of
new
friends.
Besides,
it
allows
people
to
fully
enjoy
the
beautiful
scenery
along
the
way.
On
the
contrary,
being
in
a
hurry
will
make
us
lose
chances
of
enjoying
our
lives.
Finally,
slower
life
pace
provides
better
health
conditions
for
us.
As
is
known
to
all,
taking
action
in
a
hurry
bothers
people
and
raises
their
stress.
People
think
if
they
are
not
in
a
hurry,
they
will
become
a
loser
and
that
annoys
them.
But
being
in
a
hurry
can
hurt
people
both
physically
and
mentally.
According
to
some
studies,
people
who
have
a
slower
pace
suffer
fewer
diseases,
tend
to
be
happier
and
live
much
longer
than
those
whose
life
is
tense,
even
if
the
former
finish
jobs
more
slowly
than
the
latter.
In
short,
working
quickly
will
bring
about
more
material
benefits
to
make
our
society
more
advanced.
Yet,
much
stress
can't
bring
enjoyment,
friends
and
health,
which
are
much
more
important
than
money
and
other
material
advantages.
Therefore,
take
your
time
and
live
your
life
at
a
slower
pace.

Hot
Springs建于周朝,距今至少有2,276年的历史;Tang
Well距今有
1,300
多年的历史;Imperial
Concubine
Pool
建于747年,距今有1,273年的历史,所以,Huaqing
Hot
Springs历史最悠久。故选B。
2.细节理解题。根据Imperial
Concubine
Pool
(贵妃池)部分中的"It
takes
the
shape
of
a
Chinese
crab
apple(海棠)
flower..."可知,贵妃池的特别之处在于其形状是海棠花。故选B。
3.细节理解题。根据"Opening
hours:
From
March
to
November:
7:00
-
18:00"和"From
December
to
February:
7:30-18:30"可知,华清宫遗址的开放时间是每天11个小时。故选D。
B
答案:1-4.DCAB
解析:1.细节理解题。文章的第二段提到几维鸟的翅膀退化,所以几维鸟不是因为没有翅膀而不能飞,A错误。几维鸟可以存活
25—50年,不是50多年,B项错误。地面是几维鸟的天下,C项错误。它们很胆小,通常只在晚上活动,D项正确。
2.细节理解题。由第三段中的
The
reason
for
this
is
that
the
kiwi
doesn't
have
to
fly,
so
there
aren't
any
limits
on
its
weight.
可知,几维鸟不会飞,所以体重会无限增长,进而生出巨大的蛋。故选C项。
3.推理判断题。由第四段可知,在人类到来之前岛上已经有蝙蝠和海豹,但是几维鸟以前从不担心捕食者,由此可以推断出蝙蝠和海豹对几维鸟无害。故选A项。
4.主旨大意题。文章为我们介绍了几维鸟的由来、习性和特症,用“几维鸟——独特的鸟”作标题最合适。故选B项。
C
答案:1-4.DCBB

these
seem
to
unite
people可知,此处是说灾难后唯一的安慰是,人们都团结起来帮助灾民。故选D项。

million,
and
the

3.细节理解题。根据第四段的Jim
McIngvale,
the
owner
of
a
furniture
store,
turned
his
two
100,000-square-foot
warehouses
into
shelters.可知,吉姆为灾民提供住处。故选B项。
4.推理判断题。根据本文内容可知,飓风“哈维”在得克萨斯州南部登陆,给当地造成了巨大的损失,而各行各业的人尽其所能帮助受灾群体。由此可知,作者赞扬的是人们的无私精神。故选B项。
D
答案:1-4.DDBC
解析:1.细节理解题。由第一段中的It
is
a
living
cloud
made
of
billions
of
locusts
that
are
travelling
across
the
continent
eating
everything
in
their
path.可知,作者想表明蝗虫的数量之多。

think
this
idea
will
get
more
people
to
take
part
in
the
war
on
the
locusts,"可知A项说法正确;
蝗灾发生在西非,然后向非洲东部发展,而苏丹位于非洲东北部,由此可知B项说法正确;由第五段中的Although
leaders
of
12
countries
have
agreed
on
a
plan,
it
is
not
expected
to
be
enough.可知D项说法也正确。文章中没有提到C项,故C项说法错误。

steps
to
protect
the
environment."及"What
can
we

instance,
a
shorter
shower

else
just
might.(很多时候,即使你不再需要某样东西,别人也可能需要。)"符合语境。

It!"及本空后的"Go
for
a
hike,
visit
local
nature
centres
and
gardens,
and
climb
up
mountains."可知,欣赏环境应该从参观身边的、当地的一些自然景观开始,所以C
项"You

the
naturally
beautiful
spots
in
your
city.(你可以从参观城市当地的自然美景开始。)"符合语境。
⑤根据本空前的"...take

vegetable
garden?"可知,看一下你的后院里有没有地方种一棵树或建一个小的果蔬园,此处承接上文,故F项"You

Despite
being
accustomed
to
the
fast
pace
in
modem
society,
people
are
recommended
to

Besides,
a

is
supposed
