二、阅读理解（2021年无锡中考）。
Many of us stayed at home in January because of COVID-19, but a special mom and her two babies took a trip. They were driven a few miles from a breeding center in northeastern Argentina to a 1.7 million-acre nature reserve called Gran Ibera Park. There the three jaguars were released into the wild.
Their release was the first reintroduction of jaguars in that part of Argentina since the species(物种)almost died out there 70 years ago. Scientists hope they can turn things around for this important apex predator, meaning one that is on top of the food chain(链). Only 200 to 300 jaguars remain in the country.
“That is the highest level of protection that can be given in Argentina,” says Sebastian Di Martino. He’s the conservation director for Rewilding Argentina, which is one of the organizations helping to restore jaguar populations.
The jaguars’ journey started in 2018 when the park was built in the Ibera Wetlands. Several thousand jaguars once lived there, along with other important species. But the jaguars’ fur was valuable, so people hunted them. Then farmers cleared the land they lived on. With the jaguars gone, the ecosystem was out of balance.
“In the absence of this species, ecosystems stop working well and may even collapse,” Di Martino says. “The main prey(猎物)of the jaguar is the capybara and the caiman. They are very abundant because of the absence of the jaguar, which causes imbalances in the ecosystem.”
The park was the first step to give jaguars a place to live. Then they needed to breed. A female named Mariua mated with a male jaguar from Brazil. Mariua then gave birth to the two baby jaguars.
It sounds simple, but the reality is more complicated. Di Martino said that jaguars born at breeding centers have to learn how to hunt and must not become used to humans. Otherwise, they will not have success in the wild.
The people who work at the breeding center stay out of sight. They use video cameras to watch the jaguars from several miles away. “We provide live prey for them, without them realizing it comes from people,” Di Martino said.
Mariua wears a radio collar so researchers can track her and her babies, Karai and Pord. “So far, so good. She’s been hunting capybaras and wild pigs and is raising her babies very well,” Di Martino says.
11. What can we learn about the jaguar
A. It is found only in Argentina. B. It is taught to hunt by humans.
C. It is not hunted by any other animal. D. It is not considered as a rare species.
12. Which of the following words can best describe Di Martino’s job
A. Exciting. B. Meaningful. C. Surprising. D. Successful.
13. What does the underlined word “abundant” mean in this passage
A. More than enough. B. Less than enough.
C. Getting more powerful. D. Getting less powerful.
14. The writer mentioned Mariua _______.
A. to give an example of jaguars’ life
B. to show the importance of female jaguars
C. to introduce a way of training jaguars
D. to explain the method of rewilding jaguarsUnit 5 Why do you like pandas？ Section B

【答案详解】
1. A 本句考查Let’s 的用法，let’s后跟动词原形，故选A。
2. C why构成表建议句型时，常用：why not do sth. 或Why don’t you do sth. 意为“为什么不……呢？”。故选C。
3. B 句意：这部电影比较有趣；我们想去看它。kind of“几分，相当”可以修饰形容词，其他几项都不符合题意，故选B。
4. D 本题考查like作动词的用法，like doing sth.意为“喜欢做某事”。故选D。
5. D 句意：Henry来自美国，他的朋友Molly也来自美国。肯定句末尾的“也”应该用too，故选D。
6. B 本题上句问“那个婴儿多大了？”，因此下句应该回答婴儿的年龄。C不符合婴儿的年龄特征。A和D的名词没有用复数形式。“…months old” 可以表示“婴儿几个月大”，故选B。
7. B 此题考查play 的用法，当“踢球，打球”讲时，play 后直接接球类运动的名称即可，故选B。
8. B 本题考查祈使句的肯定和否定形式，前面的句子是祈使句的肯定形式，所以用Look at；后面是祈使句的否定形式，要用don’t look。故选B。
9. C 句意“这件衣服太贵了，所以我没有买。”，so是“所以”的意思，故选C。
10. C 回答否定疑问句必须依据事实来作答，由事实来决定前面是用yes还是用no。句意为“－肉不是真的有危险，对吗 －哦!它有危险，它对我们的健康根本没有好处。”，故应该是否定形式的回答，且前后要保持一致，故选C。
11. B 本题考查这几个单词的不同用法，other与what连用表示“其他的什么动物”的意思。故选B。
12. D “和……一起玩”用“play with”，本句是一般现在时，句子的主语是第三人称单数，所以谓语用plays with。故选D。

14. B Let’s do sth．让我们去干某事吧，是一个表建议或邀请的句型，常用Good idea./OK．等作答。故选B。
15. A 在表示方位时，in表“在……里”，on表“相邻并接壤”，to表“相邻不接壤”，of 不表示这种位置关系。中国包含在亚洲内，故选A。
16.A 句意：－老师，Jenny想知道她何时可以离开办公室。－只有当她抄完报告她才可以离开。when引导的条件状语从句遵循“主将从现”的原则。主句为“情态动词+动词原形”，从句要用一般现在时表达一般将来时的意思。故选A。
17. D 由“Jim sits behind me”可知，Jim坐在“我”后面，“我”坐在Jim的前面。at the top of意为“在……的顶部”；at the end of意为“在……结尾”；in the middle of意为“在……中间”；in front of意为“在……前面”。故选D。
18. C 句意：－晚饭已经准备好了，请随便吃吧。－哇，尝起来多么好吃呀。你真擅长做饭。sounds“听起来”；tastes“尝起来”；根据情景可知是尝后对事物的称赞，故选C。
19.C 句意：一些人杀死大象是为了它们的象牙。我们必须阻止他们。
考查介词辨析。with和……一起；带有；用；in在……里面；for为了；to到……。根据句意可知，空后…their ivory表示目的，应用介词for。故选C。
20.C 句意：－Helen，不要忘记6点之前来到这儿。－好的，我会准时来的。
考查动词辨析。learn学习，学会；want想要；forget忘记；like喜欢。根据情景“I’ll arrive on time”可知，对方提醒Helen不要忘记去做……，故选C。
【点睛】forget忘记，常用于两个句型：
1.forget to do sth.“忘记去做某事”，这个事情还没有做；
2. forget doing sth.“忘记做过某事”，这个事情已经做过了。如：
Don’t forget to call me when you come.你来的时候不要忘记给我打电话。
I forget meeting you somewhere.我忘记了在哪里见过你。

二、阅读理解（2021年无锡中考）。
Many of us stayed at home in January because of COVID-19, but a special mom and her two babies took a trip. They were driven a few miles from a breeding center in northeastern Argentina to a 1.7 million-acre nature reserve called Gran Ibera Park. There the three jaguars were released into the wild.
Their release was the first reintroduction of jaguars in that part of Argentina since the species(物种)almost died out there 70 years ago. Scientists hope they can turn things around for this important apex predator, meaning one that is on top of the food chain(链). Only 200 to 300 jaguars remain in the country.
“That is the highest level of protection that can be given in Argentina,” says Sebastian Di Martino. He’s the conservation director for Rewilding Argentina, which is one of the organizations helping to restore jaguar populations.
The jaguars’ journey started in 2018 when the park was built in the Ibera Wetlands. Several thousand jaguars once lived there, along with other important species. But the jaguars’ fur was valuable, so people hunted them. Then farmers cleared the land they lived on. With the jaguars gone, the ecosystem was out of balance.
“In the absence of this species, ecosystems stop working well and may even collapse,” Di Martino says. “The main prey(猎物)of the jaguar is the capybara and the caiman. They are very abundant because of the absence of the jaguar, which causes imbalances in the ecosystem.”
The park was the first step to give jaguars a place to live. Then they needed to breed. A female named Mariua mated with a male jaguar from Brazil. Mariua then gave birth to the two baby jaguars.
It sounds simple, but the reality is more complicated. Di Martino said that jaguars born at breeding centers have to learn how to hunt and must not become used to humans. Otherwise, they will not have success in the wild.
The people who work at the breeding center stay out of sight. They use video cameras to watch the jaguars from several miles away. “We provide live prey for them, without them realizing it comes from people,” Di Martino said.
Mariua wears a radio collar so researchers can track her and her babies, Karai and Pord. “So far, so good. She’s been hunting capybaras and wild pigs and is raising her babies very well,” Di Martino says.
11. What can we learn about the jaguar
A. It is found only in Argentina. B. It is taught to hunt by humans.
C. It is not hunted by any other animal. D. It is not considered as a rare species.

【语篇导读】本篇为说明文。文章主要介绍了阿根廷美洲虎的状况。
11.【答案】C
【解析】细节理解题。根据“Scientists hope they can turn things around for this important apex predator, meaning one that is on top of the food chain(链)”，美洲虎是处于食物链顶端的，也就意味着没有其它动物能够捕猎它们，故选C。
12.【答案】B
【解析】推理判断题。根据“ “In the absence of this species, ecosystems stop working well and may even collapse,”可知，在缺少美洲虎的情况下，生态系统变差甚至濒临崩溃，所以Di Martino恢复美洲虎在阿根廷的分布是很有意义的，故选B。
13.【答案】A
【解析】词义猜测题。根据“The main prey(猎物)of the jaguar is the capybara and the caiman. They are very abundant because of the absence of the jaguar, which causes imbalances in the ecosystem.”可知，美洲虎的主要猎物是水豚和凯门鳄。它们非常丰富，因为没有美洲虎，这导致了生态系统的不平衡。所以单词“abundant”指的是“充足的，足够多的”，故选A。
14.【答案】B
【解析】推理判断题。根据“Then they needed to breed. A female named Mariua mated with a male jaguar from Brazil. Mariua then gave birth to the two baby jaguars.”可知，文中作者提到Mariua是为了说明雌性美洲虎的重要性，故选B。
