三、阅读理解
A
(2022·江苏·高一课时练习)Wild animals are our friends, but many of them are getting fewer and fewer. We should try to protect them. The four animals below are now in danger.
Tibetan Antelopes
Tibetan antelopes are medium-sized animals. They mainly feed on grass. They are usually found in groups of about 20. They are killed for their wool, which is warm, soft and fine and can be made into expensive clothes. Although people can get the wool without killing the animals, people simply kill them before taking the wool. The number of them is dropping year by year. There are less than 75,000 Tibetan antelopes left in the world, down from a million 50 years ago.
Golden Monkeys
Golden monkeys are mainly found in Sichuan, Gansu, Shaanxi provinces and Shengnongjia mountainous area of Hubei Province. Golden monkeys have golden-orange fur. They move around in the daytime, usually in groups of as many as 100 to 200 heads, or 20 to 30 heads. They feed on fruits and young leaves of bamboos. But people are destroying the environment where they live. Trees and bamboos are disappearing, so golden monkeys have less and less to eat.
Elephants
Elephants are very big and strong. They are bigger than any other animals on land. They are grey and have long trunks and tusks. They have poor eyesight, but very good hearing and smell. They can lift heavy things and breakdown branches with their trunks. Elephants are very friendly towards each other and towards their neighbours. Normally, they live in a group for many years. Young male elephants do not leave the group until they are about 12 years old. Now, there are very few elephants in the world. The number of them is becoming smaller and smaller because their living areas are used for farming. Also, people hunt them for their tusks.
Wolves
Wolves are not very big. They have grey fur. Wolves have very good eyesight, hearing and smell. Wolves’ food is various. They eat animals, insects and snails. They are friendly to each other and never attack people. They do not kill for fun. Wolves are in danger, too. They are losing their living areas because people cut down forests. Soon they will have no home or food.
16.Which of the following animals are the biggest on land
A.Tibetan antelopes. B.Golden monkeys.
C.Elephants. D.Wolves.
17.What can we know about the passage
A.There are less than 7,500 Tibetan antelopes left in the world now.
B.Golden monkeys usually move around during the night.
C.Elephants have good eyesight, but very poor hearing and smell.
D.Wolves are friendly to each other and they never attack people.
18.What can be the best title of the passage
A.Wild animals in danger
B.How to hunt wild animals
C.Animals in the zoo
D.How to train the animals
B
(2022·河南·息烽县第一中学高一期中)Scientists have discovered that chimps(黑猩猩)talk to each other by drumming on trees with their hands and feet. It is a way of sending long-distance messages. Each male chimp has its own way of drum beats, to which they add spoken noises to show who is where and what they are doing. The chimps only seem to use their own beats when they are travelling. It may explain why chimps don’t say goodbye to each other because they can keep in touch with each other when they’re away.
We believe chimps like communicating with each other very much. So do the chimps in the zoo. They are happy to communicate with visitors every day. However, during the lockdown(封闭)time, the chimps are upset because of no visitors coming.
A new study has found that some chimps were quieter and lazier than usual during the lockdown months. The study took place in Knowsley Safari Park(野生动物园)in England. It compared the chimps’ behavior during periods of lockdown in 2020 and 2021—when the zoo was closed and they were not being observed by humans—with how they acted after zoo visitors returned.
When the zoo was closed, some chimps spent more time alone and moved about less. When the sites reopened and visitors returned, they spent less time resting and ate more and explored more. In Knowsley, they were eager to get close to visitors’ cars more often.
The researchers say that they can’t tell for sure whether the lockdown was good or bad for the chimps they had studied. When visitors returned, chimps spent less time alone, which could be seen as positive. However, their less resting could also be seen as negative, because it could mean that human visitors interrupted their rest time, which may harm chimps’ health.
19.What is the purpose of the chimps’ way of drum beats
A.To play music. B.To scare visitors.
C.To attract scientists. D.To have communication.
20.What effects did the lockdown have on chimps according to the study
A.The chimps became less active. B.The chimps put on more weight.
C.The chimps enjoyed their loneliness. D.The chimps communicated quite often.
21.How were the chimps when the Zoo was reopened
A.Lazy. B.Quiet. C.Excited. D.Lonely.
22.In which way did the researchers get the study result
A.By listing numbers. B.By comparing facts.
C.By giving examples. D.By interviewing visitors.

19.细节理解题。根据第一段“Scientists have discovered that chimps(黑猩猩)talk to each other by drumming on trees with their hands and feet. It is a way of sending long-distance messages.”(科学家们发现黑猩猩通过用手和脚在树上敲鼓来互相交谈。这是一种发送长途信息的方式)可知,黑猩猩击打树干是为了远程传递信息,是为了交流,故选D。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了非法捕猎威胁了野生虎的生存,我们应该采取措施阻止非法捕猎。
23.考查时态和主谓一致。句意:亚洲东部和南部曾经有很多这样的动物。分析句子可知,句子为“there be”句型,根据句中“once”可知,句子陈述的是过去发生的事,应用一般过去时,句子主语“animals”为可数名词复数,故“be”应转换为“were”。故填were。
24.考查副词。句意:然而,野生老虎现在只生活在印度、中国、俄罗斯东部和其他一些国家的小范围内。分析句子可知,上文“亚洲东部和南部曾经有很多这样的动物”和下文“野生老虎现在只生活在印度、中国、俄罗斯东部和其他一些国家的小范围内”之间为转折关系,设空处位于句首,且用逗号与句子其他部分隔开,故应用副词“however”,意为“然而”,副词词性,作状语,句首单词首字母大写。故填However。
25.考查代词。句意:此外,非法捕猎野生动物是对它们生存的另一个主要威胁。分析句子可知,“survival”为名词,故空格处应用形容词性物主代词,“they”为人称代词主格,对应的形容词性物主代词为“their”,意为“它们的”。故填their。
26.考查形容词。句意:人们有时会猎杀老虎等濒危动物,以非法出售它们的身体部位来获取药品甚至食物。分析句子可知,“animals”为名词,故空格处应用形容词,作定语,“endanger”为动词,根据句意可知,应用“endangered”,意为“濒危的”,形容词词性。故填endangered。

28.考查非谓语动词。句意:有些人甚至在黑市上花高价购买虎骨或其他动物器官。分析句子可知,句中有谓语动词“pay”,故空格处应用非谓语动词,根据句意可知,人们花高价的目的是购买虎骨或其他动物器官,故空格处应用不定式作目的状语,空格处应填“to buy”。故填to buy。
29.考查名词。句意:3000多年来,中医一直使用那些去治疗疾病。分析句子可知,“treat”为动词,故空格处应用名词,作宾语,“sick”作名词时意为“病人,呕吐物”,不符合语境,应用“sickness”,意为“疾病”,为不可数名词。故填sickness。
30.考查非谓语动词。句意:这类医学的追随者相信食用动物的身体部位有助于人们治疗疾病。分析句子可知,句子为“that”引导的宾语从句,从句中有谓语动词“will help”,故空格处应用非谓语动词,应用动名词作主语,“eat”的动名词形式为“eating”。故填eating。
