VI.阅读理解
A
Both warm-blooded and cold-blooded desert animals have ways to escape the desert heat. Warm-blooded desert animals, such as rats and mice, rest during the day, often staying in cool underground burrows. At night they search for food. Animals that are out during the day, such as cold-blooded lizards and snakes, are active only for short periods. As their body temperature rises, these reptiles move into the shade in order to cool down. In the early evening, when the sun grows weaker, the reptiles become more active and begin their search for food again.
Getting enough water to survive is a major problem for all desert animals. Some desert animals, like desert birds, manage to find water holes. Other desert animals, such as the kangaroo rat and the related jerboa, get water only from the food that they eat. Because these animals eat mainly dry seeds, they must survive on a tiny amount of water.
Most deserts have only a small number of frogs and toads because these animals must be near water to survive. Yet even these creatures have adapted(适应) to desert conditions. When small amounts of water collect in temporary streams, the desert-living frogs and toads become active. After a rainfall, they lay their eggs. The eggs grow into tadpoles in a few days and into adults in just four weeks. When the puddles(水坑) dry up, the adult frogs or toads dig into the ground. Their metabolism(新陈代谢) slows, and they stay beneath the ground until the next rain, which may be as good as a year away. Until then, their bodily activities continue at a reduced rate.
The camel-often called the ship of the desert-is one of the most successful desert animals. Camels can go for long periods without water, but eventually they must drink. When water becomes available to them after a long drought, they may drink 95 liters of water or more. When water not available, what helps camels survive the desert heat is the fat stored in their humps(驼峰) . A camel’s hump contains about 12 kilograms of fat. Fat is rich in hydrogen. As the fat is digested, hydrogen from the fat combines with oxygen in the air that the camel breathes. The result is H2O, or water. Each kilogram of fat that a camel digests produces about a liter of water.
( ) 56. Desert animals are usually more active at night because ____.
it is cooler at night
it is easier to find water
they like the dark
they are less likely to be attacked a night
( ) 57. Which of the following desert animals can get water only from the food?
A. The camel. B. The kangaroo.
C. The frog. D. The rat.
( ) 58. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
All the desert animals rest during the day.
All the desert animals don’t rest during the day.
Cold-blooded desert animals are out most of the day.
None of the cold-blooded desert animals go out during the day.
( ) 59. The title for this passage could probably be ____.
A. Hot Deserts B. Desert Animals
C. How Desert Animals Get Water D. Ways To Escape the Desert Heat
B
The native home of the marmoset(小毛猴) is the rain forest of South America, but since these animals are friendly and inexpensive to buy and feed, they are shipped worldwide. Many laboratories throughout the world have found the usefulness of the marmoset as a laboratory subject. The marmoset is taking the place of rats in these laboratories.
The father marmoset carries his babies about as they hold tightly to his back. The mother only holds them at feeding time. Because humans didn’t know about this unusual division of labor in the marmoset family, the babies suffered a lot. Laboratory workers decide to move the father to another cage to make sure that he didn’t hurt the young ones. The adult marmoset who was not carrying the babies was moved away. It wasn’t long before the babies starved to death.
( ) 60. Marmosets can now be found ____.
in trees in city parks
in many parts of the world
only in rain forest
in many doctors’ labs
( ) 61. Marmosets are used for research to ____.
save the lives of rats

( ) 62. The first caged marmoset babies starved because workers ____.
forgot to feed them

caged them only with the father
( ) 63. You can guess that a marmoset would ____.

IV单项选择1-5A C C B D 6-10A C D B A 11-15 A B A C C 16-20B B A C B
21. 【解析】选D。根据题意,空格出所缺少的应该是定语,修饰前面的“a student of English”,
而A、B、C项都是动词,只能作谓语,显然不符合题意。本题句意为“一个习惯于只
做有限训练的学生会发现在英语考试中很难取得好成绩。”
22. 【解析】选C。此题考查过去分词作定语。根据题意应该选C,句意为“……被称作‘探
测1号’卫星的发射是由中欧合作进行的。”B、D项虽然也可作定语,但时态不符合
题意。
23. 【解析】选B。此题考查动词suggest的用法。根据题意,空格处所缺少的是动词作谓
语,同时必须使用虚拟语气,综观A、B、C、D四个选项,只有B项符合。
24. 【解析】选A。“It wasn’t long before…”为固定句型,表示“不久就……”,故第一空
填before,第二空填when引导的时间状语。
25. 【解析】选B。此题考查动词词组的辨析。“hunt for”意为“寻找”,常指警方、军方等
的搜寻行为;“hunt out”意为“搜寻出”,常指找出闲置不用之物;“hunt up”意为“猎
取”,尤指寻找隐蔽而不易发现的东西;“hunt down”意为“穷追直至捕获”。
26. 【解析】选A。“so smart a boy”=“such a smart boy”,so…that…引导一个结果状语从句。
27. 【解析】选C。本题考查时态用法及主谓一致。句意为“排除空气污染的每一个可能的
办法都已采用了,但空中仍不清洁。”尽管means单复数同形,但句中means前有every
修饰,故谓语动词要用单数。由句意可知用现在完成时,故选C。
28. 【解析】选A。第一个空的that是关系代词,修饰先行词all;第二个空的that与前面的
so构成“so + adj./adv + that”句式,表示“如此……以至于……”。
29. 【解析】选D。表示“阻止……”时,常用“prevent…(from)doing, stop…(from)doing, keep…

30. 【解析】选C。第一空作定语,用no more;第二空表示以后不再,用no more。

静下来”;“die off”意为“一个个死掉,绝种”;“die out”意为“熄灭,绝种,不复存
在”。根据题意,B项比较合适,其他选项均不可取。

于……”;“as long as”引导条件状语,意为“只要”。
34. 【解析】选C。句意为“他宁愿在家看书而不愿意看电视。”“prefer to do…rather than do…”
表示“宁愿做……而不愿意做……”。rather than后面用动词原形,而prefer后面需接动
词不定式。
35.【解析】选B。remaining是形容词,意为“剩余的”。
36. 【解析】选A。“and”前后为并列成份,前面“live in big forest”,所以后面为“will animals”。

60. 【解析】选B。本题是细节推理题。由原文的第一段得知:小毛猴的故乡是南美热带雨林,但是由于小毛猴比较温和,并且价格便宜,容易喂养,而被船只运往世界各地,因此小毛猴现在存在于世界的很多地方。本题应选择B,A、C、D都不全面。
61. 【解析】选A。本题是细节推理题。通过第一段最后一句话可知,在这些实验室中,小毛猴代替了老鼠的位置,即挽救了老鼠的生命,因此A项是对的。对其他选项本文都没有提到,可以排除。

63. 【解析】选C。本题是推断题。根据第一段第二句得知,小毛猴的性格温和,容易喂养,由此认为小毛猴是一个有趣的宠物。对其他选项,文中均无涉及。
64. carefully改为careful。make a careful study of是一固定短语,意为“对……作仔细研究”。
65. traded改为trading。句中trade为不及物动词,意为“做生意”,该句意思为“由于我们两公司多年来一直有生意往来……”。have been trading为现在完成时。
66. like改为like to。 would like to do sth为固定短语,意为“想要做……”。
67 prices改为the prices。prices应为特指,被其后面的of our goods修饰限制。
68. 去掉been或risen改为rising。rise为不及物动词,无被动语态。
69. since改为in。in the past three months为固定短语,意为“在过去三个月”,和现在完成时连用,也可用for/over the past three months。
70. like改为as。like为介词,as为连词。
71. where改为what。what引导表语从句,what在从句中作动词do的宾语。
72. 正确。 73. you改成we。根据上下文,这儿应指“我们”的建议(降价3%)而不是指“你们”的提议(降价5%)。
