夯基提能
Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2024·无锡高一检测)
Despite not being documented by researchers since 1968, the sengi(象鼩), a tiny big-eyed mouse with a long tail and a trunk-like nose that's native to Somalia, was rediscovered living in well-preserved habitat in neighboring Djibouti this year, and in quite healthy numbers.
An exploration beginning in 2019 looked to use local knowledge about the sengi from the people of Djibouti who said it was still there.Sure enough, it took only one trap filled with coconut, peanut butter and yeast to find the little guy.
“It was surprising，” said Steven Heritage, a research scientist at Duke University in the US.“When we opened the first trap and saw the little tuft of hair on the tip of its tail, we just looked at one another and couldn't believe it.A number of small mammal(哺乳动物)surveys since the 1970s did not find the Somali sengi in Djibouti—it was indeed a serendipitous discovery.”
One of the least understood members of the 20 species—strong elephant shrew genus(象鼩属), the sengi lives in habitats that are unsuitable for most human activities, allowing it to remain relatively undisturbed and safe.
“Usually when we rediscover lost species, we find just one or two individuals and have to act quickly to try to prevent their extinction，” said Robin Moore, of the Global Wildlife Conservation(GWC) group.
The team set 1,000 traps and caught 12 of the little shrews while making the first video and photographic documentation of the animal for science.Along with rediscovering the species, the team gathered DNA samples(样本)which later showed the Somali sengi to be more closely related to sengis in other corners of Africa like Morocco and South Africa.
This finding has suggested that the Somali sengi needs to be placed in a new genus—moving from Elephantulus to Galegeeska.
Like all great discoveries in science, the questions answered are only equal to the new mysteries presented, but the researchers' work has highlighted Djibouti as a biodiverse(具有生物多样性的)nation worthy of scientific study.With any luck, perhaps more discoveries are waiting to be made among its desert and salt lakes.
语篇导读：本文是一篇说明文。研究团队发现，象鼩在50多年后重新出现在非洲。
1.What made the finding of the Somali sengi special？ C
A．It was rediscovered by Somalis.
B．It looked surprisingly different.
C．It reappeared in Africa after more than 50 years.
D．It had become smart enough to avoid being trapped.
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段内容可知，让索马里象鼩的发现如此特别的原因是：象鼩已经有50多年没有被记录了，即50多年后，它重新出现在非洲。故选C。
2.What does the underlined word “serendipitous” in Paragraph 3 mean？ C
A．Unrealistic. B．Professional.
C．Accidental. D．Purposeful.
解析：词义猜测题。根据第三段画线词上文“A number of small mammal(哺乳动物) surveys since the 1970s did not find the Somali sengi in Djibouti” 可知，20世纪70年代以来，许多小型哺乳动物的调查都没有在吉布提发现索马里象鼩。所以这次象鼩的发现是一个意外。故画线词与C项意义接近。故选C。
3.What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us？ B
A．How the Somali sengi manages to survive.
B．Why the Somali sengi can live peacefully.
C．How human activities affect the Somali sengi.
D．What environment the Somali sengi should live in.
解析：段落大意题。根据第四段内容可知，象鼩能幸存的原因是它们的栖息地不适合人类生存，即受人类影响特别少，因此本段主要介绍象鼩能平静生活的原因。故选B。
4.How did the team know the relationships between the Somali sengi and other sengis？ A
A．By doing DNA tests for them.
B．By studying their living habits.
C．By comparing their appearances.
D．By studying documents about them.
解析：推理判断题。根据第六段的最后一句可知，在重新发现该物种的同时，研究小组还收集了DNA样本，这些样本后来表明，索马里象鼩与非洲其他地区(如摩洛哥和南非)的象鼩关系更密切。由此推知，这个团队是通过进行DNA测试，了解索马里象鼩和其他象鼩之间的关系。故选A。
Ⅱ.语法填空
(2023·山东省济南市高一上期末)
Tuatara(鳄蜥)can only be found on the islands off the coast of New Zealand.And they are one of the 1.oldest (old) animals in the world.They were on the earth 220 million years ago.At that time, there were a lot of tuataras all over the world, but in most 2.places (place) they died out about one million years ago because other stronger animals developed and became tuatara killers.At 3.the same time, New Zealand became separated from the rest of the world, so tuatara have continued to live in New Zealand.
Tuatara are cold-blooded animals so they feel cold 4.when you touch them.They can grow up 5.to 24 centimeters in length and weigh more than 1 kilogram.Tuatara make 6.their (they) homes in holes in the ground.They often share their holes with birds, which is not a good idea for the birds because tuatara are fond of 7.eating (eat) eggs and baby birds.In fact, they will eat anything they can catch, but 8.usually (usual) they eat insects.
The number of tuatara 9.has dropped (drop)since people and other animals came to New Zealand one thousand years ago.Today, there aren't many tuatara left.In New Zealand, programs have been set up 10.to protect (protect) them.
语篇导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了鳄蜥这种古老的爬行动物，并呼吁人们保护它们。
解析：
1．考查形容词的最高级。根据“one of the”可知，此处应用形容词的最高级，作名词animals的前置定语。故填oldest。
2．考查名词复数。place为可数名词，被most 修饰，应用名词复数。故填places。
3．考查冠词。句意：与此同时，新西兰与世界其他地方分离了，所以鳄蜥继续生活在新西兰。at the same time“同时”。故填the。
4．考查状语从句的连接词。此处应用连接词when引导时间状语从句。故填when。
5．考查介词。句意：它们可以长到24厘米长，体重超过1 公斤。up to“多达”。故填to。
6．考查代词。根据“homes”可知，此处应用形容词性物主代词作前置定语。故填their。
7．考查非谓语动词。be fond of doing sth.“喜欢做某事”，此处应用动名词作of 的宾语。故填eating。
8．考查副词。句意：事实上，它们会吃任何能抓到的东西，但通常它们吃昆虫。此处应用副词修饰句子，作状语。故填usually。
9．考查动词的时态和主谓一致。根据空后“since people and other animals came to New Zealand one thousand years ago”可知，此处应用现在完成时，且主语为The number，助动词应用has。故填has dropped。
10．考查非谓语动词。此处应用动词不定式作目的状语。故填to protect。
Ⅲ.读后续写
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Peter woke up early in the morning.He went downstairs in a hurry and started to have his breakfast as quickly as possible.
“Why are you in such a hurry, early bird？” Mum asked him.“We will have an English spelling test today, Mum，”Peter said.“Mr White promised to offer prizes to those who get 100 scores.I've been studying the word list since last week.Although the words are difficult, I am well prepared for them.”
Peter reviewed the spelling of each word once more carefully when Dad drove him to school.At last, it was time for the students to have a test.“Responsibility，” Mr White started.Peter wrote it on his test paper quickly and confidently.
“The second word：contribution，”Mr White said.
“So easy，” Peter thought.He quickly wrote the word down.
Thirty words later, the test papers were collected by Mr White.“I am to mark your papers now，”he told the class.After marking the test papers, Mr White said, “three of you won a prize today for excellent test scores.Peter, David and Mary got 100 scores in the spelling test！”
Mr White praised them.Meanwhile, he gave the three students each a dictionary.Peter's was an English-Chinese dictionary—the one he liked best.Peter was so excited that he held it high when his classmates cheered.“This is my happiest moment，” Peter thought.
After Mr White gave the test paper back, Peter had a look at the words, feeling proud of his spelling.All of a sudden, the word “contribution”confused him.It didn't seem right.Peter began to compare them after taking out the word list.“C-o-n-t-r-i-b-u-s-i-o-n，” he whispered.He had spelled it wrong.
“What am I to do？”Peter said to himself.“I expect my classmates to think I'm a master in spelling.If I tell Mr White one of my spelling words is wrong, I'll have to give my prize back, or I will become an example for telling a lie.”
Staring at the red sign “100” which was written at his test paper, Peter was lost in thought.After a while, he remembered a lesson Mum used to teach him, “we ought to be an honest person.”
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
Slowly, Peter raised his hand.
Peter looked around.He found many of his classmates were smiling at him.
参考范文：
Slowly, Peter raised his hand.“Mr White, I didn't get 100 scores in the test.I missed a word.”He stood up and handed his teacher the dictionary he liked best and his test paper.“I spelled contribution with ‘s-i’ instead of ‘t-i’．”Peter could feel his classmates looking at him with surprise as he walked back to his desk.Mr White held up Peter's test paper.“Class，” he said, “Peter did something even more important than spelling every word correctly in a test.” Mr White smiled at Peter.“He taught us all a lesson on being honest.”
Peter looked around.He found many of his classmates were smiling at him.“Peter, I want you to have this dictionary because you set a good example for all of us，”Mr White said.Peter took the dictionary from his teacher and expressed his thanks to Mr White.Meanwhile, he couldn't wait to show it to Mum and tell her one of his best days ever.
