解析:3.根据第一段中“I never pluck grass”可知,“我”任由那些草生长,推断出此处开花的是那些“草”。故选A。
解析:4.根据朋友说的话“This kind of orchid is hard to find.”可知,“我”找的这位朋友是研究植物的,朋友看了这朵花就说这种兰花很难找到。故选D。

解析:8.根据“…so he always plucked it”可知,理查德总是把它拔掉,因为他觉得那只是普通的草而已。故选C。
解析:9.根据上文可知,理查德没有等到那些“草”开花,也不知道会开出稀有的兰花,所以总是把它们拔掉,因此感慨,我们或许都因为没有等待而错过了一些生活中稀有的兰花。故选B。
解析:10.根据“Give the ‘grass’ time to flower and give everybody a… to prove his value.”可知,“草”需要的是时间去开花,人需要的是一个机会去证明自己的价值。故选D。
短文大意:本文主要讲述了一个关于兰花的故事。这个故事告诉了我们,给“草”时间开花,给每个人一个证明自己价值的机会,不要随意摘下任何“草”的叶子,也不要粗暴地否定一个人,那么我们将会在生活中得到多少珍稀兰花呀!
二、短文填空(本大题共10小题,每小题1.5分,共15分)
Bats like living in dark and wet places.There are all kinds of viruses(病毒).
Bats always live 1. in groups, so the viruses can have larger “playgrounds” to grow and become 2. more powerful.
Bats are like humans in some ways.Our similar genes(基因) make 3. it easier for us to become sick with the same viruses.
in
more
it
解析:1.in 考查介词。根据后面的名词groups,确定这里应该填写介词in。in groups意思是“以群体的形式”。这句话的意思是“蝙蝠总是群居”。
解析:2.more 考查副词。根据句中的larger “playgrounds”,确定此处要填more。more powerful和前面的larger “playgrounds”并列。
解析:3.it 考查代词。根据句意和句型结构看出,这里要填写it来作形式宾语,代替后面的动词不定式“to become sick with the same viruses”。
When bats fly, their body temperature can reach as 4. high as 40℃.Such temperature can kill weak viruses, but stronger ones will be still 5. alive and continue to grow.Bats have special protection systems that allow them to live with viruses without getting sick.Since they can fly, bats can 6. spread viruses farther and more easily than other animals.
high
alive
spread
解析:4.high 考查形容词。这句话是来描述蝙蝠体温的,意思是“当蝙蝠飞行的时候,它们的体温可高达40℃”。表示温度“高”要用形容词high,由于处在短语as… as中间,所以这个形容词用原形。
解析:5.alive 考查形容词。本句后半句与前半句“这样的温度能杀死弱小的病毒”形成对比,因此意为“更强壮的病毒仍然是活着的并继续生长。”故填alive。
解析:6.spread 考查动词。根据横线前面的情态动词can,可知这里要填写动词原形。根据语境确定本句话的意思是“由于蝙蝠能飞,所以它们能够比别的动物更加容易地把病毒传播得更远”,因此这里要填写动词“传播”,spread。
7. Although/Though wild animals carry many diseases(疾病), it doesn't mean that we should consider them as human's enemies.Each kind of animal plays a 8. role/part in the world and all of them are important.The lesson we should learn from virus outbreaks(爆发) is to respect and 9. protect animals and to live in peace with them, instead of hunting, killing, or eating them.Only in this 10. way can we create a better world for our next generation.
Although/Though
role/part
protect
way
解析:7.Although/Though 考查状语从句。横线后面这句话的意思是“野生动物携带许多种疾病”,它后面这个句子的意思是“这并不意味着我们应该把它们看作是人类的敌人”。因此看出,这里应该填写although或though,“尽管”,来引导让步状语从句。
解析:8.role/part 考查名词。play a role/part in是固定短语,意为“发挥作用”。
解析:9.protect 考查动词。根据连词and前面的动词respect,可推测这里应该填写动词protect。此处和respect并列,所以要用原形。
解析:10.way 考查名词。in this way是固定短语,意为“用这种方式”。
短文大意:本文是一篇说明文。蝙蝠喜欢群居,携带各种病毒。由于基因和人类相似,并且它们能够飞行,所以更容易把疾病传给人类。但每一种动物在生态系统中都起着重要的作用,所以我们应该尊重并保护它们,而不是捕捉、杀掉或吃掉它们。
