先行词 关系 副词 功能 例句

2.先行词为time等表示时间的词,其关系词并不一定用when;同样先行词为place等表示地点的词,其关系词并不一定用where。定语从句是由关系代词还是关系副词引导要看先行词在定语从句中所担当的句子成分。先行词在从句中作主、定、宾语时,选择关系代词(who,whom,that,which,whose);先行词在从句中作状语时,选择关系副词(when,where,why)。试比较如下句子:
(1)I’ll never forget the days when I worked together with you.(days作时间状语)

答案及剖析:
1.where 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,此处为定语从句,spot为先行词,在定语从句中充当地点状语,故用关系副词where。
2.when 考查定语从句。句中先行词an age在定语从句中充当时间状语,故用关系副词when。
3.when 考查定语从句。one afternoon是表示时间的名词短语,后面的定语从句应用when引导。
4.why 考查定语从句。先行词the reason在定语从句中充当原因状语,故用关系副词why。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
We know that many animals do not stay in one place.Birds,fish and other animals move from one place to another at a certain time.They move for different reasons: most of them move to find food more easily,but others move to get away from places that are too crowded.
When cold weather comes,many birds move to warmer places to find food.Some fishes give birth in warm water and move to cold water to feed.The most famous migration is probably the migration of the fish,which is called “salmon”.This fish is born in fresh water but it travels many miles to salt water.There it spends its life.When it is old,it returns to its birthplace in fresh water.Then it gives birth and dies there.In northern Europe,there is a kind of mouse.They leave their mountain homes when they become too crowded.They move down to the low land.Sometimes they move all the way to the seaside,and many of them are killed when they fall into the sea.
Recently,scientists have studied the migration of a kind of lobster (龙虾).Every year,when the season of bad weather arrives,the lobsters get into a long line and start to walk across the floor of the ocean.Nobody knows why they do this,and nobody knows where they go.
So,sometimes we know why humans and animals move from one place to another,but at other times we don’t.Maybe living things just like to travel.
1.Most animals move from one place to another at a certain time to .
A.enjoy warmer weather

B
Every year,about 75,000 Great White Pelicans fly away from Eastern Europe’s cold winter to East Africa,where they spend the summer.It’s a long journey and the main stop is in Israel.
The Great White Pelican is a huge bird.It’s the largest bird in the world to make such a long journey.Its diet is mainly fish and it eats about 1.4 kilos each day.
The pelicans love to gather (聚集) in large numbers.Until recent years,there were plenty of water supplies (供给) in Israel.Frequently,the pelicans arrive in Israel tired.They cannot continue their long journey until they have rested.However,for a variety of reasons,these water supplies have dried up and the pelicans have had to find other food sources.
Fish farming has become big business in Israel.As you may imagine,a fish farm is something pelicans could usually only dream of!In the summer months when the Great White Pelicans passed through,Israel’s fish farmers began to lose tons of fish.Some farms were even forced to close their businesses.Something had to be done.
The Israel Ministry of Agriculture considered the problem carefully.How could it stop 75,000 huge pelicans from arriving in Israel It decided this was not possible.It chose a place with a plentiful supply of water,and provided money for local farmers to buy food,which they fed to the pelicans.The pelicans soon understood this and now arrive at the place to feed and rest.They no longer have to rely on the fish farms for food.
It’s a solution that seems to have worked.At one point,it looked as if the Ministry would stop the money.One criticism was that with so much food,the pelicans would never leave and would become even more expensive.However,there was such outcry from environmentalists and farmers that the money remains.
Perhaps their large numbers in Israel will attract birdwatchers from all over the world to visit the amazing sight,and tourism can bring new income to the country.

How to get more wildlife into your backyard
The following ideas,tips and suggestions will help create an environment that will literally “call” the birds to your garden.Water is an important feature and this article will tell why.
Install a bird bath.One of the most important additions to your garden is water.1. Here in the Midwest we are blessed with natural sources of water such as rivers,lakes and ponds.In residential areas,however,sources of clean water are rare.Birds and other “critters” will flock to bird baths.
To encourage birds to use a new bird bath,add stepping stones and rocks to bring the bathing depth to 1/2 inch (1.3 cm)rather than the typical two or three inches in commercial baths.
2.
3. Use a mild bleach(漂白剂)to clean the bird bath if it gets dirty.Wash the bath thoroughly with running water and refill.Use an electrical element designed for this purpose to keep the bird bath functional during cold winter months.The birds will flock in large numbers when most water is iced over.
4. A simple,low-tech drip system involves more labour but almost no cost.Take an old gallon milk jug and poke a tiny pin-hole near the bottom and another air hole near the top.Suspend it from a tree branch or shepherd’s hook so that the slow drip falls into the bird bath.Refill as needed.
5. Search the Internet for a list of local native plants and add a few each year,or divide with friends,until you have a thriving native garden.
A.Birds are afraid of drowning and will readily drink from shallow baths while standing on stones.
B.Surround your bird bath with native perennials (多年生植物) appropriate to your region of the world.
C.It’s better not to change the water frequently.
D.All living creatures need water in some form or another.
E.Add a waterfall or fountain to attract more wild visitors with the sound of moving water.
F.Change the water regularly.
G.All living creatures need water,but they are afraid of people.
语篇导读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了让自己的后院吸引鸟儿的办法。阅读本文,有利于促进学生对动物习性的了解,增强保护动物的意识。
答案及剖析:
1.D 考查学生理解上下文语义,建立段落内语义连贯性的能力。根据上文叙述院子中最重要的是水,而下文叙述中西部地区水源丰富,以及本段最后一句可知D项承上启下,故选D项。

Elephant reserve
Country:Thailand
This is a working vacation at a wildlife centre.Anyone can become a volunteer if he/she agrees to help the elephant keepers with tasks.
Daily tasks
Gather the elephants at 6:30 am.Take them to look for food in the forest.Clean the enclosure(围场).Swim with the elephants in the lake in the afternoon.If volunteers want to relax after work,they can watch satellite television.
How this vacation helps
If these elephants hadn’t been rescued they would still be living on the streets of Bangkok.The rural environment is much better for them than the urban environment where there is lots of pollution.
Your comment
“I love working with these huge gentle animals.”
Gorilla safari(观赏野兽的旅行)
Countries:Kenya,Rwanda and Uganda
Departures(出发):2-3 departures per month from Aug.to Dec.
Extras:permit ￡220
If you’re lucky,you’ll see lions,elephants and rhinos during this safari.The highlight(最好的部分) of the trip is the opportunity to see gorillas in the mountain forests.However,you must be in good health—if a gorilla caught a cold,it would be extremely harmful to its whole family.
How this vacation helps
There are only about 600 gorillas left in the world as human activity has reduced the area where they can live.When you buy a permit,this will pay for the protection of the national park.
Your comment
“I’ll surely go back as soon as I have enough money!”
Polar bear watching
Area & Country:Arctic,Canada
Departures:sixty trips between 1 Oct.19 Nov.
Every October and November groups of polar bears gather in Hudson Bay.As they are normally lonely creatures,this is unusual.The bears wait for the ocean to freeze so that they can hunt for seals,so this is the perfect opportunity to see them.Extra activities include dog sledding(狗拉雪橇) and a night trip to see the Northern Lights.
How this vacation helps
If the Arctic ice cap melts due to global warming,polar bears will be in danger.We give a share of our profits(利益) to the charity that protects polar bears.
Your comment
“These terrible bears get all the liquid they need from their food.”
1.What will elephant volunteers do
A.Sweep the enclosure of elephants.
B.Take food for elephants at 6:30 am.

语篇导读:本文是一篇科普说明文。文章讲述了美国阿拉斯加州起初因为人们的滥捕滥杀,导致狼濒临灭绝,后来政府通过立法对狼进行了保护,但不久狼又泛滥成灾,并给当地人带来了大的损害。阅读本文,有利于促进学生对保持生态平衡的重要性的认识。
[文章脉络]
答案及剖析:
1.C 过去,人们大量捕杀狼,然而后来国家通过法律保护狼。因此前后为转折关系。but也可表示转折,但but是连词,不用逗号分开。
2.D 根据常识可知,人们捕杀狼是为了得到它们的毛皮(fur)。
3.A 因为有法律保护狼,因此狼的数量增加(increased)了。
4.D 从空格后的“their own food supply”可知,此处应该填destroying(毁灭)。
5.B 根据下文中的“People there also hunt deer for food.”等一系列关于鹿的叙述可知,狼天生以鹿(deer)为食。
6.B 由文义可知,寒冷的冬季及食物的变化对鹿伤害(harmed)极大,但还不至于致其死亡。下一句“当鹿找不到足够的食物时,它们就会死亡”也能说明这一点。
7.C 句意:鹿找不到足够的(enough)食物便会死亡。
8.B 句意:如果狼继续(continue)杀死大量的鹿,鹿总有一天会灭绝,狼也会。
9.A 根据后面的“some day”可知,作者在讲述未来的结果,联系空格前的内容可知,鹿有一天会灭绝消失(disappear)。
10.C 根据上文叙述可知,我们应该改变(change)这样的食物圈。
11.A 根据文章叙述可知,狼的数量过多就会出现食物数量减少,因此,猎杀一定数量的狼可以救(save)它们,使它们避免因为食物减少而饿死。save...from...意为“把……从……中救出来”,keep...from...意为“阻止……做某事”。
12.D 根据下文可知,如果狼得不到足够的鹿,它们就会去袭击鸡等,因此保护好鹿,也会使some farm animals得到保护。
13.D 由上文叙述可知,狼袭击的是农场里的牛、鸡等牲畜,因此D项为最佳答案。
14.A 根据后面的“to study the problem”可知,研究这一问题的是科学家(scientists)。
15.B 句意:他们认为在有的地区捕杀狼而在数量少的地方保护狼是有必要的(necessary)。

M:I usually eat outside because I'm a very terrible cook.
W:So,back at home,how's it done
M:My mum usually cooks.She usually cooks Chinese food and Thai food.We rarely eat Australian food at home because Australian food is pretty boring.
W:If you do eat any Australian food,what kind of food do you eat
M:I guess it would be the meat pie.A lot of kids eat it in high school during lunch with tomato sauce.But an interesting Australian dish would be the kangaroo meat.I've had that a couple of times.It tastes really good.Have you tried kangaroo meat
W:Never.I don't eat all kinds of meat.I eat chicken only.

W:Ancient Greek history is interesting,isn't it
M:Yes,I love it.And it's a lot better than reading those boring textbooks in school.
W:You may be right.However,the information in textbooks is much more accurate.
M:I know.This is just more exciting,and I can relate to the main characters.

第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
The African grey parrot's ability to talk and mimic sounds makes it a charming companion.African grey owners often report that their greys oftentimes talk in context and can understand their people's emotions (情感).The African grey parrot is not just a top talker—this kind of birds are also known for their extreme intelligence,which gives them the name “The Einsteins of the Bird World”.
The bird is medium-sized,dusty-looking and almost pigeon-like.It has a bright red tail,intelligent orange eyes,and a stunning scalloped(扇形的) pattern to its feathers.Their diet in the wild consists mostly of nuts,seeds,fruits,and leafy matter.
At home,African greys need plenty of toys that challenge their intelligence,such as food searching and puzzle toys.Nutri-Berries by Lafeber Company are a perfect choice,which,with a balance of grains,seeds and other nutrients in the shape of a berry,encourage African greys to hold,bite off,and even play with,just as they do in the wild.
African greys seem especially affected by stress and disturbing noise in their environment and can be put more at ease by placing one corner of the cage against a wall as opposed to in the middle of a room.
African grey parrots are more likely to suffer from lack of vitamin A/beta-carotene,and therefore benefit from eating vegetables high in beta-carotene,such as cooked sweet potato and fresh kale.Lack of vitamin D is another concern,especially for greys on a poor diet.Offering a balanced,pill-shaped diet,such as Nutri-Berries,helps prevent vitamin and mineral shortage.
21.Why are African grey parrots called “The Einsteins of the Bird World”
A.Because of their brain size.
B.On account of their intelligence.
C.Owing to their rich emotions.
D.Due to their talking ability.
22.What can “Nutri-Berries” probably be
A.A brand of bird food.
B.Puzzle toys for birds.
C.A type of round fruit.
D.Wild Intelligence games.
23.What is the characteristic of African grey parrots
A.They may get ill due to lack of vitamin E.
B.They prefer to stay in the middle of the room.
C.They are dusty looking with blue eyes.
D.They are smart and love to have fun.

The way Rover works is sort of like Airbnb.Dog owners browse the “search” section of the site or app for pet sitters,which can be organised by zip code and available dates.Information of pet sitters is provided,complete with many reviews,specific services and rates.Now Rover has over 25,000 pet sitters in more than 5,000 US cities.And they're all experienced pet sitters.
After finding someone that meets your needs,just send messages to the pet sitter to arrange a meeting.Then,like Rover says,all that is left to do is relax! Rover's pet sitters are encouraged to send text and picture information throughout the day,and if there's a medical emergency,the site will send a vet.Besides,don't worry about a pet sitter who falls through,because someone else will soon take his or her place.

A mother goat is able to pick out her own baby from its voice alone by the time the kid is just five days old.
Researchers from University of London played kids' bleats to female goats and studied their responses.They were surprised to find that the animals were able to pick out their own kids' voices.
“A mother and the kid rely a lot on smell to recognise one another and,in the wild,during the first week of their lives,the animals hide in grass and don't call much.It's a strategy they use to avoid enemies,” Dr Elodie Briefer,who led the research,explained.“The mother calls to the kids when she wants them to come and feed,so we expected that kids would recognise the mothers' voices.” In fact,this is the case for deer,which also use this hiding strategy,although they do not belong to the same family of species as goats.
She and her team recorded and played back young kids' calls to the female goats and recorded their responses.She explained,“Even when the calls came from kids that are five to six days old,we could see the mothers responding more to the voices of their own babies.” Hearing the voice of their own kids,the females would look towards the speaker that the sound was coming from,moving around and calling in response.
The scientists say that understanding how goats behave and communicate is very important.“This helps us understand just how smart these animals are,” said Dr Briefer.“Farmers might be able to change their way to raise goats considering this natural behavior.”
28.What does the underlined word “bleats” mean
A.Habits. B.Voices.
C.Responses. D.Videos.
29.During the first few days of the baby deer,the mother and the kid mainly depend on to recognise each other when they are hiding in grass.

C.videos D.smell

A.Making voice in response.
B.Jumping over and over.
C.Hiding herself somewhere.
D.Behaving just as usual.

More and more birds are flying to settle at Qinghai Lake,one of the highest inland lakes in China,thanks to the protection efforts of local governments.Covering an area of over 4,000 square kilometres,Qinghai Lake is also the country's biggest salt-water lake.Located in Northwest China's Qinghai Province,the lake is famous for the two islands at its northwest point—Cormorant Island and Egg Island.The two islands have plenty of floating grass and various schools of fish,offering rich food sources for birds.The islands have become a paradise for different kinds of groups of birds and have been called “Bird Islands”.
Each March and April,when ice and snow covering the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau starts to melt,over 20 kinds of birds fly to the Bird Islands to lay eggs.During the months,flocks of birds cover the whole sky over the islands and birds eggs can be found everywhere.Visitors can hear the singing of birds from miles away.These have become a world-famous symbol of the lake.
To protect this paradise for birds and support calls for ecological protection,China set up the Qinghai Lake Natural Protection Zone at the end of 1997.Meanwhile,the State has pointed out the Bird Islands and Spring Bay of the Qinghai Lake as central protection zones.
Inspection officials and management employees often patrol the lake,improving local residents' knowledge of related laws and spreading knowledge about animal protection to visitors.They are making great efforts to call on people to love and protect the birds.At the same time,they have built special fences around the island area to prevent wolves,foxes and other carnivorous animals,as well as illegal hunters from breaking up the birds' nest-building,egg-laying and breeding.As a result,more and more birds are coming to the islands for sheltering and breeding.

Should we create more national parks to
save endangered animals
Don't you find it worrying that more and more species of animals are in real danger of becoming extinct(灭绝) 36. And I think the best way to do this is for governments to create more national parks.
37. If this environment is destroyed—for example,when farmers clear a forest for new fields,or trees are cut down for making money—many animals are unable to survive,and more species are likely to become extinct.
In addition,national parks protect animals from the danger of being hunted.A major reason why many species are endangered is that the animals are killed by hunters.They hunt animals to make money.38.
On the other hand,some people fight against the creation of national parks because they consider it wrong to interfere(干涉) with nature.They believe that wild animals are happier living in their natural environment.39. They also point out that a few species are more likely to produce young animals in the wild than in national parks.
All in all,though,these disadvantages are far less important than the benefits of national parks.40. As a matter of fact,they protect animals from their greatest enemies,that is,human beings.
A.To begin with,animals are important to humans.
B.Some hunters even hunt animals simply for sport.
C.I personally believe that we must save these animals.
D.These parks allow animals to live in a safe environment.
E.Firstly,national parks protect the animals' natural environment.
F.They say though the animals may face danger,they enjoy a free life.
G.There is a heated discussion about whether to create more national parks.
语篇导读:本文是一篇议论文。是否应该创建更多的国家公园来保护濒危动物呢 作者对此进行了论述。阅读本文,有利于学生增强保护动物的意识。
答案及剖析:
36.C 考查学生理解平行和递进语义连贯的具体信息的能力。根据上下文内容可知,作者认为我们必须拯救濒危动物,且最好的办法是政府建更多的国家公园。C项承上启下,符合语境。
37.E 考查学生理解上下文语义,建立段落内语义连贯的能力。根据下文内容可知,如果环境被破坏,许多动物就无法生存,更多的物种可能会灭绝。因此首先提到的是国家公园可以保护动物生活的自然环境,故选E项。
38.B 考查学生理解平行和递进语义连贯的具体信息的能力。上文讲述动物被猎杀的原因,此处讲述另外一个原因。故选B项。
39.F 考查学生对平行信息之间的衔接关系的理解能力。根据上一句内容可知,有些人认为野生动物更喜欢生活在大自然中。F项符合语境。
40.D 考查学生理解平行和递进语义连贯的具体信息的能力。根据下一句内容可知,国家公园可以保护动物免受人类的捕杀,是它们安全的庇护所。故选D项。

It was summer,and my dad wanted to treat me to a vacation like never before.He decided to take me on a trip to the Wild West.
We took a plane to Albuquerque,a big city in the state of New Mexico.We reached Albuquerque in the late afternoon.Uncle Paul,my dad's friend,picked us up from the airport and drove us up to his farm in Pecos.
His wife Tina cooked us a delicious dinner and we got to know his sons Ryan and Kyle.My dad and I spent the night in the guestroom of the farm house listening to the frogs and water rolling down the river nearby.Very early in the morning,Uncle Paul woke us up to have breakfast.“The day starts at dawn on my farm,” he said.After breakfast,I went to help Aunt Tina feed the chickens,while my dad went with Uncle Paul to take the sheep out to graze(吃草).I was impressed to see my dad and Uncle Paul riding horses.They looked really cool.
In the afternoon,I asked Uncle Paul if I could take a horse ride,and he said yes,as long as my dad went with me.I wasn't going to take a horse ride by myself anyway.So,my dad and I put on our new cowboy hats,got on our horses,and headed slowly towards the mountains.“Don't be late for supper,” Uncle Paul cried,“and keep to the track so that you don't get lost!” “OK!” my dad cried back.After a while Uncle Paul and his farm house were out of sight.It was so peaceful and quiet and the colours of the brown rocks,the deep green pine trees,and the late afternoon sun mixed to create a magic scene.It looked like a beautiful woven(编织的) blanket spread out upon the ground just for us.

One possible version:
Suddenly a little rabbit jumped out in front of my horse.Afraid that I might hurt the lovely small creature,I automatically let out a cry to stop my horse.However,it became scared and started to run like crazy.All this coming without warning,I was seized by fear.“Don't let go of the rope! Keep calm!” yelled Dad.I followed what he told me to do.To my relief,it stopped slowly.But before we jumped off the horses,we found that we had been off the beaten track and got lost.
We had no idea where we were and it was getting dark.Exhausted and hungry,I wondered if we could find our way back.I kept shouting for help,hoping my shouts could be heard by someone,but there was no reply.Dad sounded a little worried as he reminded me to calm down.It was then that my mind raced.“Listen,Dad,the rushing river water,” I shouted excitedly.“We can return to the farm house down the river.” Before long,we caught sight of the lights in the distance.We knew we were safe.What a thrilling vacation,like never before,we had!
