Many animals make an annual 1 (migrate) to find food, seek a partner, or in search of warmer weather at certain times of the year. Every autumn, 2 (million) of North American monarch butterflies start such a journey. They travel about 4,000 kilometres south to California or Mexico, 3 people didn't know how they did this until recently.
Some scientists have found out that these insects can know the time of day and they use their eyes 4 (measure) the position of the sun. The information permits 5 (they) to decide their way to go. Eventually, they manage to arrive in the places where they spend the winter.
People are 6 (amaze) at their mysterious ability and find the solution to the mystery when people find that their number 7 (crash) by as much as 90 per cent during the past few years. Unfortunately, the main reason why the number of them is dropping is human activity. People are destroying the places 8 they live in. They cut down trees and use chemicals which are bad for the plants that monarch caterpillars eat.
Now people begin to be aware 9 this creature and work together to protect them. People hope that the number of them will rise again. The 10 (much) we learn about them, the more likely they are to survive.

Don't be too 5 (frighten) if you see her with her mouth wide open—she is not starving or asking for food, 6 just trying to cool herself down in the heat.
If you happen not to see Pui Pui in her usual habitat, it's because she is extremely good at hiding.

Tall, long-necked giraffes are famous for their spots which are believed to help the animals hide from their enemies. Just like no two humans have the same fingerprints, each giraffe has its own special pattern of spots. However, a Tennessee zoo made the headlines recently after it welcomed one of the world's most uncommon giraffes.
On July 31, a baby giraffe was born at Brights Zoo with light brown fur, which is a reticulated(网状的) giraffe, one of the four different kinds of giraffes. Unlike most giraffes, she was born without spots, a unique feature of the reticulated giraffe. At six feet tall, this baby giraffe is growing well under her mother's care. She shows typical baby giraffe behavior.
Experts said the young giraffe was the only single-colored reticulated giraffe living anywhere on the planet. The last time this happened was in Japan in 1972. A giraffe's pattern of spots is created when the animal is still growing inside its mother. That means that this giraffe will never have spots.
“The new giraffe might not have survived if she had been born in the wild. Being single-colored, she may not be able to hide very well,” said Mr. David Bright, who runs the zoo. “She will easily be a key target for poachers(偷猎者) because she's so unusual.”
Brights Zoo stressed that reticulated giraffes had already become imperiled. In 2018, they were officially listed as “threatened”. Thirty-five years ago, there were 36,000 reticulated giraffes. Now, the number has been cut by more than 50%. Only about 16,000 reticulated giraffes remain.
This brown giraffe's birth is not only a rare and amazing event, but also an opportunity to raise awareness of the challenges faced by giraffes in the wild. By supporting efforts like this, we can contribute to the conservation of these large creatures and ensure their survival for generations to come.
1.What do we know about the spots of giraffes
A.They help protect giraffes.
B.They are the same pattern.
C.They look like giraffes' footprints.
D.They appear on giraffes occasionally.
2.What makes the young giraffe born at Brights Zoo special
A.Its extremely large size.
B.Its light brown fur.
C.Its unusual eating habit.
D.Its absence of spots.
3.What does the underlined word “imperiled” mean in paragraph 5
A.Recognized.
B.Endangered.
C.Doubled.
D.Balanced.
4.Which word can best describe the birth of the young giraffe
A.Awkward. B.Worrying. C.Meaningful. D.Foreseeable.

Orcas, also known as killer whales, are the largest members of the dolphin family. They hunt in schools of up to 40 individuals and are famous for their group attack on sea creatures. But orcas seldom attack humans.
However, since 2020, groups of orcas have struck about 700 boats off the coasts of Spain, Portugal, France and Morocco. They have damaged(损坏)at least seven boats. Experts now believe what the orcas did is the result of bored teenage orcas having fun.
After observing fifteen young orcas, a research team, led by Alex Zerbini, found that the orcas approached the boats slowly. Once close, they appeared to simply want to nudge their noses or heads against the rudder(船舵). Given that these young orcas measure between 2.7 and 4.2 meters in length, just a gentle touch was enough to damage the rudders and even the boats. “As they play with the rudder, they don't understand that they can damage the rudder and will affect human beings. It's more playful than purposeful,” one researcher said.
The researchers thought the teenage orcas' boredom results from the increase in the population of their primary food source—the bluefin tuna. With plenty of food, they have a lot more time on their hands. They guessed the action may have been started by a curious individual attracted to the moving boat and may have inspired the others to do the same.
Zerbini and his team give some suggestions about being far away from orcas when possible. While people are in the areas where orcas often appear, try to reduce the speed of the boats. Making banging sounds around the boat may keep the whales away. They also suggest boat owners replace the smooth rudder surface with special materials. This will make the boats less fun to “play” with.
“We don't want to see more boats being damaged, and we don't want to see people in trouble,” Zerbini said. “But we also don't want to see orcas and other animals being hurt. We have to remember that this is their home, and we're in the way.”
5.What does the text focus on about orcas
A.Their unusual behavior.
B.Their feeding habit.
C.Their high intelligence.
D.Their quick reaction.
6.Why do orcas strike the boats according to the research
A.To search for food.
B.To seek pleasure.
C.To try to communicate.
D.To practice hunting skills.
7.What does paragraph 5 mainly tell us
A.How to find orcas' tracks.
B.How to draw orcas to the rudder.
C.How to tell the sounds from orcas.
D.How to avoid encounters with orcas.
8.What do we know from Zerbini's words
A.We should live in peace with animals.
B.We should build more high-quality boats.
C.People face challenges in developing fisheries.
D.People have perfected creatures' living environment.
答案与分层梯度式解析
Unit 5 Into the wild
Part 1 Starting out & Understanding ideas
基础过关练
Ⅰ.1.position 2.charities 3.solutions 4.migrate 5.sought
知识拓展
seek为不规则动词,其过去式和过去分词均为sought。常见的“原形→~ought→~ought”的动词可见下表:
原形 过去式 过去分词 意义
bring brought brought 带来
buy bought bought 买
fight fought fought 打架
seek sought sought 寻找
think thought thought 思考
Ⅱ.1.eventually 考查副词。句意:得知我们失去联系的那个人终于出现了,真是令人鼓舞。本空作状语,应用副词形式。故填eventually。
2.survival 考查名词。句意:现代生物医学技术的进步可以显著提高病人生存的可能性。根据空前介词of可知,本空应用名词形式。chance of survival意为“生存的可能性”。
类比启发
动词词尾去e+-al→名词(一般是抽象名词):arrive→arrival n.到达;approve→approval n.赞成;propose→proposal n.提议;remove→removal n.移动;refuse→refusal n.拒绝,回绝
3.annually 考查副词。句意:据报道,这家快递公司每年递送数十亿个包裹。本空在句中作状语,应用副词形式。故填annually。
4.on;effective 考查介词和形容词。句意:事实证明,如果我们在睡前使用社交媒体,它会对我们的睡眠产生负面影响,制订严格的就寝时间表可以有效提高睡眠质量。have an effect on意为“对……有影响”,故第一空填on;第二空作表语,意为“有效的”,故填effective。
5.amazed;amazing;amazement 考查形容词和名词。句意:雨后,我们惊奇地发现天空中有一道彩虹,这是一幅令人惊叹的景象,它的美丽让我们充满了惊奇。第一空作表语,且主语为指人的代词We,故应用形容词amazed,意为“吃惊的”;第二空修饰名词sight,故应用形容词amazing,意为“令人惊喜(或惊羡、惊叹)的”;根据第三空前介词with可知,本空应用名词形式,故填amazement。
6.to be 考查非谓语动词。句意:同学们流利的英语口语让我很惊讶,我下定决心要和他们一样好。be determined to do sth.意为“决心做某事”,故本空应用不定式形式。
7.to pass 考查非谓语动词。句意:又学习了一年之后,他设法通过了考试,进入了一所重点大学。manage to do sth.意为“设法做成某事”,故填to pass。
8.were destroyed 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:大火肆虐,直至最后处于火势路径上的数百座建筑被摧毁,形成了一条防火带。设空处为until引导的时间状语从句的谓语,其主语hundreds of buildings为复数,和动词destroy之间为被动关系,根据前面的burned 可知,本句动作发生在过去,故本空应用一般过去时的被动语态。故填were destroyed。
Ⅲ.1.we took measures to protect 2.Cutting down trees
3.where she worked 4.The more;the heavier
5.frightened by the thunderstorm
能力提升练
Ⅰ.1.migration 考查名词。由空前的不定冠词an和形容词annual可知,此处应用名词。
2.millions 考查数词。millions of是固定短语,意为“数百万的……”,修饰后面的名词短语North American monarch butterflies。
方法归纳
hundred、thousand、million、billion等数词前没有具体的数字时,常用复数形式,并与of连用。
3.but 考查连词。设空处前后为两个完整的句子,故此处应用连词连接。上文“它们向南飞行大约四千公里到加利福尼亚州或墨西哥”与下文“直到最近人们才知道它们是如何做到的”是转折关系,故用表示转折意义的连词but。
4.to measure 考查非谓语动词。use sth. to do sth.意为“用某物做某事”,其中的不定式是目的状语,此处表示“用它们的眼睛测量太阳的位置”。
5.them 考查代词。设空处是动词permits的宾语,应用人称代词的宾格形式。
6.amazed 考查形容词。设空处表示人的感受,应用以-ed结尾的形容词;be amazed at是固定短语,意为“对……感到惊讶”。
7.has crashed 考查时态和主谓一致。设空处在that引导的宾语从句中作谓语。during the past few years是现在完成时的标志性时间状语,number是第三人称单数,故填has crashed。
8.that/which 考查定语从句。设空处无提示词,空前为名词places,空后的句子缺少宾语,故推测此处为定语从句。设空处引导该从句,并作从句中介词in的宾语,先行词places指物,故用that或which。
易错归因
本题易错填where。先行词places虽然指地点,但定语从句的引导词应代替先行词在从句中作相应成分,而where是关系副词,不能在从句中作in的宾语。
9.of 考查介词。be aware of是固定短语,意为“意识到”。虽然be aware后也可加that引导的从句,但本空后的部分this creature不是从句。故填of。
10.more 考查比较级。“the+比较级...,the+比较级...”是固定句型,意为“越……,(就)越……”。故填more。
Ⅱ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了在香港湿地公园可以看到许多前来越冬的稀有动物,还能看到一只雌性鳄鱼贝贝。
【高频词汇】 1.be situated in/on/at...坐落在……
2.endangered adj.(动植物)濒危的 3.appearance n.公开露面,出现;外貌 4.aside from除了 5.happen(not) to do sth.恰巧(不)做某事 6.origin n.来源,起源,出身
7.abandoned adj.被遗弃的 8.be equipped with 配备有,装备有
【差距词汇】 1.stopover n.中途停留 2.emerge v.出现,露头
1.attracting 考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知,本句已有be动词is,故此处应用非谓语动词。本空作状语,动词attract与句子主语Hong Kong之间为主动关系,应用现在分词形式,故填attracting。
2.arrival 考查名词。本空作动词catch的宾语,且被形容词性物主代词their修饰,故应用名词arrival,意为“到来,到达”。
3.a 考查冠词。a wide variety of意为“各种各样的”,故填a。
4.with 考查介词。句意:贝贝被提供了食物和住所,通常悠闲地度过一天。provide sb./sth. with...意为“给某人/某物提供……”,此处为过去分词短语作状语,故填with。
5.frightened 考查形容词。句意:如果你看到它张大嘴巴,不要太害怕——它不是在挨饿,也不是在要求食物,只是想要在炎热中凉爽下来。本空作表语,且其逻辑主语为you,故应用形容词frightened,意为“害怕的”。
6.but 考查连词。not...but...意为“不是……而是……”,故填but。
7.caught 考查时态。设空处为主句的谓语,根据时间状语In 2003可知,应用一般过去时,故填caught。
8.to stay 考查非谓语动词。too...to do...意为“太……而不能……”,故应用不定式to stay。
9.prepared 考查非谓语动词。句意:这只年轻的鳄鱼有着聪明的大脑,不会接受专业猎人准备的诱饵。本句已有谓语didn't take,故此处应用非谓语动词。本空作定语,被修饰名词bait和动词prepare之间为被动关系,故本空应用过去分词形式。故填prepared。
10.was seized 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:经过数月的追捕,这条鳄鱼于2004年被政府官员捕获。设空处为本句的谓语,根据时间状语in 2004可知,本空应用一般过去时,主语the crocodile为单数,和动词seize之间为被动关系,故本空应用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was seized。
Ⅲ.A
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。田纳西州的一家动物园出生了一只没有斑点的长颈鹿,本文解释了斑点对于长颈鹿的作用以及这只小长颈鹿出生的意义。
【高频词汇】 1.spot n.斑点 2.hide from躲避
3.make the headlines成为头条新闻 4.typical adj.典型的
5.target n.(攻击的)目标,对象 6.be listed as被列为 7.conservation n.保护 8.ensure v.确保
1.A 细节理解题。根据第一段第一句“Tall, long-necked giraffes are famous for their spots which are believed to help the animals hide from their enemies.”可知,高大、长脖子的长颈鹿以其斑点而闻名,人们认为这些斑点可以帮助它们躲避敌人。因此,长颈鹿的斑点有助于保护长颈鹿,故选A。
2.D 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“Unlike most giraffes, she was born without spots, a unique feature of the reticulated giraffe.”可知,这只在布莱特动物园出生的小长颈鹿的特别之处是没有斑点,故选D。
3.B 词义猜测题。根据画线词后文可知,2018年,它们被正式列为“受威胁”,35年前有36,000只网纹长颈鹿,现在,这个数字已经减少了超过50%,目前只剩下大约16,000只网纹长颈鹿。因此,网纹长颈鹿数量不多了,说明濒临灭绝了。故画线词的意思是“濒临灭绝的”。故选B。
4.C 推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,这只棕色长颈鹿的出生不仅是一个罕见而有趣的事件,也是一个提高人们对野生长颈鹿面临的挑战的意识的机会。通过支持这样的努力,我们可以为保护这些大型生物做出贡献。因此,小长颈鹿的诞生是有意义的。故选C。
B
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了自2020年以来,西班牙、葡萄牙、法国和摩洛哥海岸附近发生的一系列虎鲸撞击船只的事件。
【高频词汇】 1.up to多达 2.bored adj.无聊的,烦闷的 boredom n.无聊 3.purposeful adj.有目的的
4.result from 产生于,由……引起 5.primary adj.主要的,基本的 6.replace v.更换,取代 7.in the way 挡道,阻碍
【熟词生义】 school 熟义:n.学校 生义:n.群
5.A 主旨大意题。第一段提到虎鲸通常很少攻击人类;第二段介绍自 2020 年起虎鲸却频繁撞击西班牙、葡萄牙、法国和摩洛哥沿海约七百艘船只;后文围绕这一不寻常行为展开研究及分析,包括行为原因及应对措施。故本文重点关注的是虎鲸的不寻常行为,A 项正确。
6.B 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Experts now believe what the orcas did is the result of bored teenage orcas having fun.”和第三段中的“It's more playful than purposeful”可知,虎鲸会袭击船只是为了寻求快乐。故选B。
7.D 主旨大意题。根据第五段中Zerbini和他的团队给出了一些关于尽可能远离虎鲸的建议,如:尽量减速、制造声响、更换船舵材料等可知,第五段主要介绍如何避免遭遇虎鲸。故选D。A 项 “如何找到虎鲸的踪迹”、B 项 “如何把虎鲸吸引到船舵”和C项 “如何分辨来自虎鲸的声音”均不符合该段主旨。
8.A 推理判断题。根据最后一段Zerbini的话:“我们不希望看到更多船只受损,也不希望看到人们陷入困境。”和“但我们也不想看到虎鲸和其他动物受到伤害。我们必须记住,这是它们的家,而我们挡住了它们的路。”可推知,从Zerbini的话中我们知道我们应该与动物和平相处。故选A。B 项 “我们应该建造更多高质量的船只”、C项 “人们在发展渔业方面面临挑战”和D项 “人们已经完善了生物的生存环境” 在 Zerbini 的话中均未体现。

Orcas, also known as killer whales, are the largest members of the dolphin family. They hunt in schools of up to 40 individuals and are famous for their group attack on sea creatures. But orcas seldom attack humans.
However, since 2020, groups of orcas have struck about 700 boats off the coasts of Spain, Portugal, France and Morocco. They have damaged(损坏)at least seven boats. Experts now believe what the orcas did is the result of bored teenage orcas having fun.
After observing fifteen young orcas, a research team, led by Alex Zerbini, found that the orcas approached the boats slowly. Once close, they appeared to simply want to nudge their noses or heads against the rudder(船舵). Given that these young orcas measure between 2.7 and 4.2 meters in length, just a gentle touch was enough to damage the rudders and even the boats. “As they play with the rudder, they don't understand that they can damage the rudder and will affect human beings. It's more playful than purposeful,” one researcher said.
The researchers thought the teenage orcas' boredom results from the increase in the population of their primary food source—the bluefin tuna. With plenty of food, they have a lot more time on their hands. They guessed the action may have been started by a curious individual attracted to the moving boat and may have inspired the others to do the same.
Zerbini and his team give some suggestions about being far away from orcas when possible. While people are in the areas where orcas often appear, try to reduce the speed of the boats. Making banging sounds around the boat may keep the whales away. They also suggest boat owners replace the smooth rudder surface with special materials. This will make the boats less fun to “play” with.
“We don't want to see more boats being damaged, and we don't want to see people in trouble,” Zerbini said. “But we also don't want to see orcas and other animals being hurt. We have to remember that this is their home, and we're in the way.”
5.What does the text focus on about orcas
A.Their unusual behavior.
B.Their feeding habit.
C.Their high intelligence.
D.Their quick reaction.
6.Why do orcas strike the boats according to the research
A.To search for food.
B.To seek pleasure.
C.To try to communicate.
D.To practice hunting skills.
7.What does paragraph 5 mainly tell us
A.How to find orcas' tracks.
B.How to draw orcas to the rudder.
C.How to tell the sounds from orcas.
D.How to avoid encounters with orcas.
8.What do we know from Zerbini's words
A.We should live in peace with animals.
B.We should build more high-quality boats.
C.People face challenges in developing fisheries.
D.People have perfected creatures' living environment.

2.survival 考查名词。句意:现代生物医学技术的进步可以显著提高病人生存的可能性。根据空前介词of可知,本空应用名词形式。chance of survival意为“生存的可能性”。
类比启发
动词词尾去e+-al→名词(一般是抽象名词):arrive→arrival n.到达;approve→approval n.赞成;propose→proposal n.提议;remove→removal n.移动;refuse→refusal n.拒绝,回绝
3.annually 考查副词。句意:据报道,这家快递公司每年递送数十亿个包裹。本空在句中作状语,应用副词形式。故填annually。
4.on;effective 考查介词和形容词。句意:事实证明,如果我们在睡前使用社交媒体,它会对我们的睡眠产生负面影响,制订严格的就寝时间表可以有效提高睡眠质量。have an effect on意为“对……有影响”,故第一空填on;第二空作表语,意为“有效的”,故填effective。
5.amazed;amazing;amazement 考查形容词和名词。句意:雨后,我们惊奇地发现天空中有一道彩虹,这是一幅令人惊叹的景象,它的美丽让我们充满了惊奇。第一空作表语,且主语为指人的代词We,故应用形容词amazed,意为“吃惊的”;第二空修饰名词sight,故应用形容词amazing,意为“令人惊喜(或惊羡、惊叹)的”;根据第三空前介词with可知,本空应用名词形式,故填amazement。
6.to be 考查非谓语动词。句意:同学们流利的英语口语让我很惊讶,我下定决心要和他们一样好。be determined to do sth.意为“决心做某事”,故本空应用不定式形式。
7.to pass 考查非谓语动词。句意:又学习了一年之后,他设法通过了考试,进入了一所重点大学。manage to do sth.意为“设法做成某事”,故填to pass。
8.were destroyed 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:大火肆虐,直至最后处于火势路径上的数百座建筑被摧毁,形成了一条防火带。设空处为until引导的时间状语从句的谓语,其主语hundreds of buildings为复数,和动词destroy之间为被动关系,根据前面的burned 可知,本句动作发生在过去,故本空应用一般过去时的被动语态。故填were destroyed。
Ⅲ.1.we took measures to protect 2.Cutting down trees
3.where she worked 4.The more;the heavier
5.frightened by the thunderstorm
能力提升练
Ⅰ.1.migration 考查名词。由空前的不定冠词an和形容词annual可知,此处应用名词。
2.millions 考查数词。millions of是固定短语,意为“数百万的……”,修饰后面的名词短语North American monarch butterflies。
方法归纳
hundred、thousand、million、billion等数词前没有具体的数字时,常用复数形式,并与of连用。
3.but 考查连词。设空处前后为两个完整的句子,故此处应用连词连接。上文“它们向南飞行大约四千公里到加利福尼亚州或墨西哥”与下文“直到最近人们才知道它们是如何做到的”是转折关系,故用表示转折意义的连词but。
4.to measure 考查非谓语动词。use sth. to do sth.意为“用某物做某事”,其中的不定式是目的状语,此处表示“用它们的眼睛测量太阳的位置”。
5.them 考查代词。设空处是动词permits的宾语,应用人称代词的宾格形式。
6.amazed 考查形容词。设空处表示人的感受,应用以-ed结尾的形容词;be amazed at是固定短语,意为“对……感到惊讶”。
7.has crashed 考查时态和主谓一致。设空处在that引导的宾语从句中作谓语。during the past few years是现在完成时的标志性时间状语,number是第三人称单数,故填has crashed。
8.that/which 考查定语从句。设空处无提示词,空前为名词places,空后的句子缺少宾语,故推测此处为定语从句。设空处引导该从句,并作从句中介词in的宾语,先行词places指物,故用that或which。
易错归因
本题易错填where。先行词places虽然指地点,但定语从句的引导词应代替先行词在从句中作相应成分,而where是关系副词,不能在从句中作in的宾语。
9.of 考查介词。be aware of是固定短语,意为“意识到”。虽然be aware后也可加that引导的从句,但本空后的部分this creature不是从句。故填of。
10.more 考查比较级。“the+比较级...,the+比较级...”是固定句型,意为“越……,(就)越……”。故填more。

1.attracting 考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知,本句已有be动词is,故此处应用非谓语动词。本空作状语,动词attract与句子主语Hong Kong之间为主动关系,应用现在分词形式,故填attracting。
2.arrival 考查名词。本空作动词catch的宾语,且被形容词性物主代词their修饰,故应用名词arrival,意为“到来,到达”。
3.a 考查冠词。a wide variety of意为“各种各样的”,故填a。
4.with 考查介词。句意:贝贝被提供了食物和住所,通常悠闲地度过一天。provide sb./sth. with...意为“给某人/某物提供……”,此处为过去分词短语作状语,故填with。
5.frightened 考查形容词。句意:如果你看到它张大嘴巴,不要太害怕——它不是在挨饿,也不是在要求食物,只是想要在炎热中凉爽下来。本空作表语,且其逻辑主语为you,故应用形容词frightened,意为“害怕的”。
6.but 考查连词。not...but...意为“不是……而是……”,故填but。

◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。田纳西州的一家动物园出生了一只没有斑点的长颈鹿,本文解释了斑点对于长颈鹿的作用以及这只小长颈鹿出生的意义。
【高频词汇】 1.spot n.斑点 2.hide from躲避
3.make the headlines成为头条新闻 4.typical adj.典型的
5.target n.(攻击的)目标,对象 6.be listed as被列为 7.conservation n.保护 8.ensure v.确保
1.A 细节理解题。根据第一段第一句“Tall, long-necked giraffes are famous for their spots which are believed to help the animals hide from their enemies.”可知,高大、长脖子的长颈鹿以其斑点而闻名,人们认为这些斑点可以帮助它们躲避敌人。因此,长颈鹿的斑点有助于保护长颈鹿,故选A。
2.D 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“Unlike most giraffes, she was born without spots, a unique feature of the reticulated giraffe.”可知,这只在布莱特动物园出生的小长颈鹿的特别之处是没有斑点,故选D。
3.B 词义猜测题。根据画线词后文可知,2018年,它们被正式列为“受威胁”,35年前有36,000只网纹长颈鹿,现在,这个数字已经减少了超过50%,目前只剩下大约16,000只网纹长颈鹿。因此,网纹长颈鹿数量不多了,说明濒临灭绝了。故画线词的意思是“濒临灭绝的”。故选B。
4.C 推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,这只棕色长颈鹿的出生不仅是一个罕见而有趣的事件,也是一个提高人们对野生长颈鹿面临的挑战的意识的机会。通过支持这样的努力,我们可以为保护这些大型生物做出贡献。因此,小长颈鹿的诞生是有意义的。故选C。
B
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了自2020年以来,西班牙、葡萄牙、法国和摩洛哥海岸附近发生的一系列虎鲸撞击船只的事件。
【高频词汇】 1.up to多达 2.bored adj.无聊的,烦闷的 boredom n.无聊 3.purposeful adj.有目的的
4.result from 产生于,由……引起 5.primary adj.主要的,基本的 6.replace v.更换,取代 7.in the way 挡道,阻碍
【熟词生义】 school 熟义:n.学校 生义:n.群
5.A 主旨大意题。第一段提到虎鲸通常很少攻击人类;第二段介绍自 2020 年起虎鲸却频繁撞击西班牙、葡萄牙、法国和摩洛哥沿海约七百艘船只;后文围绕这一不寻常行为展开研究及分析,包括行为原因及应对措施。故本文重点关注的是虎鲸的不寻常行为,A 项正确。
6.B 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Experts now believe what the orcas did is the result of bored teenage orcas having fun.”和第三段中的“It's more playful than purposeful”可知,虎鲸会袭击船只是为了寻求快乐。故选B。
7.D 主旨大意题。根据第五段中Zerbini和他的团队给出了一些关于尽可能远离虎鲸的建议,如:尽量减速、制造声响、更换船舵材料等可知,第五段主要介绍如何避免遭遇虎鲸。故选D。A 项 “如何找到虎鲸的踪迹”、B 项 “如何把虎鲸吸引到船舵”和C项 “如何分辨来自虎鲸的声音”均不符合该段主旨。
8.A 推理判断题。根据最后一段Zerbini的话:“我们不希望看到更多船只受损,也不希望看到人们陷入困境。”和“但我们也不想看到虎鲸和其他动物受到伤害。我们必须记住,这是它们的家,而我们挡住了它们的路。”可推知,从Zerbini的话中我们知道我们应该与动物和平相处。故选A。B 项 “我们应该建造更多高质量的船只”、C项 “人们在发展渔业方面面临挑战”和D项 “人们已经完善了生物的生存环境” 在 Zerbini 的话中均未体现。
