三、阅读理解(每小题3分, 共15分)
Animals are our friends. Sometimes they make trouble, but sometimes they can help us. Here are two real stories from our readers.
The first story is from Ray. “My cat, Tiger, hates it when I use my iPad because it takes my attention away from him. One year, I had a fall at home and was on the floor for 16 hours. During this time, I couldn’t move to use the phone for help. Tiger stayed by my side until he disappeared under my bed. ‘What’s he up to ’ I wondered. To my surprise, he started to push something towards me. It was my iPad. He probably didn’t know what it was, but he knew that it made me happy. Thanks to Tiger, I was able to talk with my friend, Becky, who then told my doctor.”
The second story is from Colin. “Years ago, my friend Julius saved a bird— a wild ‘Mom’ cockatoo (鹦鹉) from the side of the road and kept it as a pet in a big cage(笼子) . It lost one of her wings, so she couldn’t return to the wild. Soon, two wild cockatoos came visiting and one ‘Dad’ bird wanted to find his way into the cage. The ‘Mom’ cockatoo in the cage was soon expecting. But as she couldn’t fly, ‘Dad’ cockatoo built a home in the tree. ‘Baby’ cockatoo would spend his days flying off with his dad, leaving his mom behind. She would sit and wait until they returned home each afternoon. The family stayed together happily.”
After reading the stories, don’t you think we should respect every life in the world
21. ________ is the owner of the cat.
A. Becky B. Julius C. Colin D. Ray

A. Julius caught it as a pet
B. she was badly hurt and couldn’t fly
C. she liked the life in the cage
D. “Dad” cockatoo built a home in the tree
24. The main idea of the passage is that ________.
A. Ray, Becky and Colin are animal lovers
B. we shouldn’t use the iPad too much
C. friends should help each other
D. we should respect every life in the world
25. In which part of a newspaper would you probably read the passage
A. Sports news. B. People and animals.
C. Health. D. Travel.
四、(荣德原创) 任务型阅读(每小题3 分, 共15 分)
Do you know the world’s smallest reptile(爬行动物) The world’s smallest reptile is a kind of chameleon called B. nana. The male(雄性的) chameleon has a body of only 1.35 cm!
B. nana hunts insects for food in the rainforest(热带雨林) . It is so small that it could easily become food for a larger insect or spider. So, B. nana needs to be careful all the time.
Unlike some other chameleons, B. nana doesn’t have the ability to greatly change its colors. Its brown skin looks like the color of dead leaves. This small reptile can hide(藏) well under leaves or grass.
B. nana was first discovered in 2012. Since then, the mountain area where it lives has been put under protection by the government. Still, only two of them so far have been found in the wild. Scientists suggested that the chameleon should be listed as the critically endangered(极其濒危的) animal in the IUCN Red List to help protect it.

参考答案
一、1. D 2. C 3. A
4. D 点拨: interesting 有趣的; exciting 令人兴奋的; difficult 困难的; dangerous 危险的。根据句意“我们的老师经常告诫我们在网络上留下太多的个人信息是_______。”可知, 空格表示“危险的”。故选D。
5. B 点拨: 用主谓一致法。学生看见tigers, 受惯性思维的影响, 会觉得选C, 但前面有the number of... “……的数量”这个短语, 已把老虎的数量当作一个整体, 谓语动词用单数形式。故B 正确。
6. A 点拨: truly 真地, 的确; mainly 主要地; hardly 几乎不; nearly 接近, 几乎。“It is well worth the effort”意为“付出努力是值得的”, 推知后半句意为: 日出的确很美。故选A。
7. B 点拨: 由前半句Look at the sign “No swimming”可知, 人们不能游泳。warn sb. (not) to do sth. 警告某人( 不要) 做某事, 故选B。
8. B
9. B 点拨: 句意为“玛丽过去住在乡下。但现在她习惯住在城里”。used to do sth. 过去常常做某事; be used to doing sth. 习惯于做某事, 故选B。
10. A 点拨: 句意为“——你好, 汤姆！你去过鸟巢吗 —— 是的, 我去过。它太好了”。have been to 意为“已经去过”, 表示人已经回来, 故选A。
二、 11. A 点拨: 联系前一句理解: 对于人类来说, 能够判断多少是一项基本技能。令人惊讶的是, 许多动物也有这样的能力。故选A。
12. C 点拨: 从下句列举的事例可知, 马会去到三个苹果的组而不是去到两个苹果的组。由此推知本句句意为“许多动物都会挑选更多的东西”。故选C。
13. B 点拨: 从下文谈论这种挑选多的东西的能力给动物带来诸多好处可知, 动物的这种能力在很多方面对动物都很有帮助。故选B。
14. D 点拨: 这种能力能帮助动物找到更大群组的朋友。故选D。
15. A 点拨: 从下句可知, 如果一个掠食动物来了, 大群的鱼就比小群的鱼成为掠食者的中餐的可能性就更少。由此推知, 这些动物加入大群体中是为了自己的安全。故选A。
16. B 点拨: 由于大群体更具安全性, 因此如果一条鱼有两种情况可以选择的话, 那么加入更大的一个群体就更安全。故选B。
17. C 点拨: 从下句列举的事例可知, 一个猴群当它们发现它们的数量不占优势时, 它们就会避免与其他群组战斗。由此可知, 数量的感知可以帮助动物保持和平共处。故选C。
18. B 点拨: 从上句中的“a sense of number”可知, 这里说的是, 一个猴群当它们发现它们的数量不占优势时, 它们就会避免与其他群组战斗。故选B。
19. A 点拨: 根据选项并从文章最后一句理解句意: 具备简单的数数能力对于一些动物来说是一个必须的本领。故选A。
20. D 点拨: 由上下文可知, 这些动物能知道简单的数量1、2、3 之间的区别。故选D。
三 、21. D 点拨: 细节理解题。根据第二段开头“The first story is from Ray. ‘My cat, Tiger...” 可以判断猫的主人是Ray。故选D。
22. C 点拨: 推理判断题。主人喜欢玩“平板电脑”, 猫虽然不知道它( 平板电脑) 是什么东西, 但是它知道平板电脑可以给主人带来欢乐。据此可以判断it 指的是iPad。故选C。
23. B 点拨: 细节理解题。根据第三段中“It lost one of her wings, so she couldn’t return to the wild.”可以判断“鹦鹉妈妈严重受伤, 不能飞翔”, 所以无法回到大自然。故选B。
24. D 点拨: 主旨大意题。文章最后点明了主旨大意: 我们应当尊重世界上的每一条生命。故选D。
25. B 点拨: 推理判断题。文章主要讲了“人和动物的关系”, 据此可以判断文章应该是节选自报纸中的“People and animals”板块。故选B。
