【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了73岁的Catia Lattouf de Arida作为一名自学成才的蜂鸟看护者,她将大部分空闲时间和资源投入到照顾这些小鸟上。
1.C 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“As a self-taught hummingbird care-taker, she devotes most of her free time and resources to nursing the tiny birds back to health.”和第二段中“She managed to nurse Gucci back to health, but she said it was Gucci that saved her. Why Because the hummingbird managed to pull her out of the sadness and loneliness that had taken over her life.”可知,Catia Lattouf de Arida救了蜂鸟,同时蜂鸟也把她从悲伤和孤独中拯救出来,由此可知,帮助别人就是在帮助我们自己,故选C。
2.B 词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“Word of her success spread among Catia’s friends, and before long some of them began bringing her injured hummingbirds.”和下文“She began to study the bird and their habits in order to better take care of them. And after 11 years of experience, the 73-year-old woman is considered an expert on hummingbirds.”可知,一些人给她带来受伤的蜂鸟,她应该是没有拒绝他们,接受了这些蜂鸟,因为下文提到她照顾这些蜂鸟,并开始研究它们的习性。由此可知,画线词意为“拒绝”,与B项refuse意思一致,故选B。
3.C 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“In order to raise awareness of the difficult situation of hummingbirds in Mexico, Catia Lattouf de Arida started posting videos of the patients in her Mexico City apartment on social media, and many of them became popular. That’s when the need for her nursing services really blew up.”可知,在媒体上分享了这些蜂鸟的视频后,Catia的护理服务量急剧增加,故选C。
4.D 推理判断题。根据第一段中“That’s where 73-year-old Catia Lattouf de Arida comes in. As a self-taught hummingbird care-taker, she devotes most of her free time and resources to nursing the tiny birds back to health.”可知,Catia很有爱心;根据最后一段中“In order to raise awareness of the difficult situation of hummingbirds in Mexico, Catia Lattouf de Arida started posting videos of the patients in her Mexico City apartment on social media, and many of them became popular.”可知,她致力于提高人们对墨西哥蜂鸟困境的认识,这说明她很有责任心,故选D。
B
【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了南极洲的带纹颊企鹅通过一种与众不同的睡眠方式来适应艰苦的环境。
5.B 细节理解题。根据第二段中“One parent takes care of the home for long periods of time, while the other parent hunts for food. The parent must often keep a sharp lookout. Birds called brown skuas attack the eggs and young penguins of careless parents.”可知,带纹颊企鹅一起抚养小企鹅。故选B项。
6.B 词义猜测题。根据第二段中“Other penguins in these crowded areas may take stones from the home, putting the young in danger.”以及画线词所在句中“But it’s hard…and protect a home 24 hours a day.”及常识可知,企鹅要时刻保持警惕,一天24小时保护一个家是很难的。由此推知,画线词vigilant意为“警惕的”,与B项careful“小心的,谨慎的”意思一致。故选B项。
7.D 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Eleven days of studying the penguins discovered that the tired parents were actually sleeping. They take thousands of tiny naps (小睡) each day.Each nap lasts only about 4 seconds. By taking over 10,000 naps a day, the scientists say the penguins get a daily total of about 11 hours of sleep.”可知,科学家们发现带纹颊企鹅经常睡觉,但是每次都睡得很短。故选D项。
8.C 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The scientists don’t know yet if the penguins sleep this way at other times of the year, or only when they’re raising their young. They also don’t know if other kinds of penguins have similar sleeping habits.”可推知,作者认为目前科学家的研究成果是不完整的。故选C项。

Hummingbirds (蜂鸟) are a very important part of Mexico’s ecosystem, but because of the ever-spreading city landscape , they face all sorts of serious dangers. That’s where 73-year-old Catia Lattouf de Arida comes in. As a self-taught hummingbird care-taker, she devotes most of her free time and resources to nursing the tiny birds back to health. Her home in Mexico City has become known as a hummingbird hospital.
Catia’s story as a hummingbird nurse began in 2011, at a very difficult moment in her life. At that time, she focused on her battle with cancer and fell into a depression (抑郁). She was walking on the street one day when she noticed a hummingbird that had suffered a serious eye injury. The kind-hearted woman took it home and named it Gucci. She managed to nurse Gucci back to health, but she said it was Gucci that saved her. Why Because the hummingbird managed to pull her out of the sadness and loneliness that had taken over her life.
Word of her success spread among Catia’s friends, and before long some of them began bringing her injured hummingbirds. She didn’t repulse them at all. She began to study the bird and their habits in order to better take care of them. And after 11 years of experience, the 73-year-old woman is considered an expert on hummingbirds.
In order to raise awareness of the difficult situation of hummingbirds in Mexico, Catia Lattouf de Arida started posting videos of the patients in her Mexico City apartment on social media, and many of them became popular. That’s when the need for her nursing services really blew up. She has cared for hundreds of hummingbirds in her 11-year career, when she has had as many as 50 of them in her apartment at any one time. She spends pretty much all her time looking after the tiny birds.

Chinstrap penguins (带纹颊企鹅) in Antarctica have adapted to hard conditions by sleeping in a very unusual way.
Like other penguins,chinstrap penguins spend much of their time in the water, catching fish to eat. But when the time comes to raise their young, they return to land. Raising young penguins is a challenge. The eggs are often laid in “homes” made of small rocks to keep the eggs from the cold. One parent takes care of the home for long periods of time, while the other parent hunts for food. The parent must often keep a sharp lookout. Birds called brown skuas attack the eggs and young penguins of careless parents. Other penguins in these crowded areas may take stones from the home, putting the young in danger. But it’s hard to stay vigilant and protect a home 24 hours a day. Getting a good night’s sleep could be deadly for the young. How do chinstrap penguins solve the problem
So a group of scientists began to study them. They recorded the birds on video. Eleven days of studying the penguins discovered that the tired parents were actually sleeping. They take thousands of tiny naps (小睡) each day. Each nap lasts only about 4 seconds. By taking over 10,000 naps a day,the scientists say the penguins get a daily total of about 11 hours of sleep. They do it 24/7 for several weeks at a time. They can keep going and raise their young.
It’s not clear if the naps allow the penguins to actually feel rested, or if it’s just enough to allow them to keep going. The scientists don’t know yet if the penguins sleep this way at other times of the year, or only when they’re raising their young. They also don’t know if other kinds of penguins have similar sleeping habits.
( )5.What can be learnt about chinstrap penguins from Paragraph 2
A.They live on land most of their time.
B.They work together to raise the family.
C.They are brown skuas’ natural enemies.
D.They put their kids in the water for safety.
( )6.What does the underlined word “vigilant” in Paragraph 2 mean
A.Warm. B.Careful.
C.Brave. D.Hungry.
( )7.What did the scientists find about chinstrap penguins’ sleep
A.They get tired easily even if they sleep well.
B.They always go to sleep with their eyes open.
C.They sleep for so long that it affects their health.
D.They sleep often and have a short sleep each time.
( )8.What does the author think of the scientists’ research result
A.It’s doubtful.
B.It’s surprising.
C.It’s not complete.
D.It’s disappointing.
