Ⅰ.阅读理解(建议用时15′)
A
[2016·山西师大附中一模]China
is
a
land
of
bicycles.
At
least
it
was
back
in
1992
when
I
traveled
the
country.
Back
then
everyone
seemed
to
be
riding
a
bicycle.Millions
of
them,
all
black.
Cars
were
rare.Yet
since
my
arrival
in
Beijing
last
year,
I've
found
the
opposite
is
true.There
are
millions
of
cars.
However,
people
still
use
their
bicycles
to
get
around.
For
many,
it's
the
easiest
and
cheapest
way
to
travel
today.
Bicycles
also
come
in
different
colors—silver,
green,
red,
blue,
yellow,
whatever
you
want.
It's
fun
people
biking.
They
rush
quickly
through
crossroads,
move
skillfully
through
traffic,
and
ride
even
on
sidewalks.
Bicycles
allow
people
the
freedom
to
move
about
that
cars
just
can't
provide.
Eager
to
be
part
of
this
aspect
of
Chinese
culture,
I
decided
to
buy
a
bicycle.
Great
weather
accompanied
my
great
buy.
I
immediately
jumped
up
on
my
bicycle
seat
and
started
home.
My
first
ride
home
was
orderly.
To
be
safe,
I
stayed
with
a“pack”of
bikers
while
cars
on
the
streets
came
running
swiftly
out
of
nowhere
at
times.
I
didn't
want
to
get
hit.
So
I
took
the
ride
carefully.
Crossing
the
streets
was
the
biggest
problem.
It
was
a
lot
like
crossing
a
major
highway
back
in
the
United
States.
The
streets
here
were
wide,
so
crossing
took
time,
skill
and
a
little
bit
of
luck.
I
finally
made
it
home.
The
feeling
on
the
bicycle
was
amazing.
The
air
hitting
my
face
and
going
through
my
hair
was
wonderful.
I
was
sitting
on
top
of
the
world
as
I
passed
by
places
and
people.
Biking
made
me
feel
alive.
中国被称为自行车的王国，尽管汽车越来越多，但仍有大部分人选择自行车这种低碳环保的交通方式。

B
[2016·河南名校联考]Deep
in
the
western
Amazon
rainforest,
live
butterflies
that
drink
turtle
tears.
That
sounds
like
a
line
straight
out
of
a
fantasy
novel,
but
it's
one
hundred
percent
real
life!
It's
an
unusual
sight—a
crowd
of
butterflies
flying
around
the
eyes
of
yellow－spotted
river
turtles,
trying
to
get
a
little
tears.
The
poor
turtles
try
to
avoid
them,
but
the
butterflies
insist
drinking
their
tears
until
they've
had
their
fill.
The
butterflies
are
likely
attracted
to
the
turtles'
tears
because
the
liquid
drops
contain
salt,
specifically
sodium
(钠),
an
important
mineral
that
is
rare
in
the
western
Amazon
rainforest,
said
Phil
Torres,
a
scientist
who
does
much
of
his
research
at
the
Tambopata
Research
Center
in
Peru
and
is
associated
with
Rice
University.
Turtles
get
plenty
of
sodium
through
their
largely
carnivorous
(食肉的)
diet.
Meat
contains
significant
levels
of
the
salt,
Torres
told
LiveScience.
But
herbivores
(食草的)
butterflies
sometimes
struggle
to
get
this
extra
mineral
source，
he
added.
Torres
explained
the
western
Amazon
rainforest
is
lower
in
sodium
than
many
places
on
earth,
because
it
is
over
1,000
miles
away
from
the
Atlantic
Ocean—a
main
source
of
salt.
The
region
is
also
cut
off
from
the
mineral
dirt
blown
towards
the
west
from
the
Andes
Mountains.
Most
of
these
windblown
minerals
are
removed
from
the
air
by
the
rain
before
they
have
a
chance
to
reach
the
western
Amazon.
In
fact，
the
butterflies
have
other
sources
to
get
sodium
besides
turtles'
tears,
which
include
animal
urine
(尿),
muddy
river
banks,
sweaty
clothes
and
so
on.
People
can't
help
wondering
if
the
process
is
painful
for
turtles.
Torres
said
it's
not
completely
clear,
but
the
teary
effort
probably
has
little
effect
on
the
turtles,
other
than
perhaps
making
them
more
vulnerable
to
their
enemies
like
big
cats,
since
the
butterflies
can
block
out
their
vision.
在Amazon
rainforest的深处，居住着一种特殊的蝴蝶，它们喝海龟的眼泪。
5．The
butterflies
drink
turtle
tears
to________.
A．help
the
turtles
get
sodium
B．get
a
mineral
from
turtle
tears
C．rid
waste
from
the
turtles'
bodies
D．take
turtles
to
the
best
water
source
答案：B　事实细节题。从文中第二段最后一句“But
herbivores
(食草的)
butterflies
sometimes
struggle
to
get
this
extra
mineral
source.”可知选B。
6．The
third
paragraph
mainly
tells
us________.
A．what
leads
to
the
extremely
low
levels
of
sodium
in
the
region
B．why
sodium
is
very
important
for
butterflies
in
the
region
C．what
takes
away
the
sodium
of
the
surface
of
the
region
D．why
the
region
is
badly
short
of
the
mineral
dirt
答案：A　主旨大意题。从第三段第一句话可概括本段大意。
7．We
can
conclude
from
the
passage
that________.
A．the
butterflies
like
eating
meat
for
getting
salt
B．the
turtles
like
the
butterflies
drinking
their
tears
C．turtle
tears
are
the
only
source
of
salt
for
the
butterflies
D．the
Andes
Mountains
lies
east
of
the
western
Amazon
rainforest
答案：D　推理判断题。从第三段最后两句话“The
region
is
also
cut
off
from
the
mineral
dirt
blown
towards
the
west
from
the
Andes
Mountains.”可知D正确，其他三项与文中事实不符。
8．What
is
the
best
title
of
the
passage
A．Turtles'
enemy
or
turtles'
friends
B．A
line
straight
out
of
a
fantasy
novel
C．The
western
Amazon
rainforest's
turtles
D．Amazonian
butterflies
drinking
turtle
tears
答案：D　主旨大意题。D项直接说明了文章主旨内容，最为贴切。
1．straight

2．attract

3．significant

Ⅱ.七选五(建议用时8′)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
[2016·湖北八校联考]Whether
you're
a
child,
teenager,
young
adult
or
are
middle－aged,
respect
for
your
parents
is
an
important
value.
Your
parents
are
the
people
who
raised
you,
devoting
time,
energy
and
money
to
your
development.
__1__
No
matter
your
age,
there
are
5
ways
to
show
respect.
●Respect
their
belongings.
One
important
way
to
show
respect
is
to
show
regard
for
the
things
important
to
your
parents.
For
younger
children,
this
may
mean
not
touching
jewelry
or
other
valuable
things.
For
grown
children,
respect
may
mean
returning
a
borrowed
tool
in
good
condition
and
on
time.
Lack
of
respect
for
a
parent's
belongings
is
a
violation
of
personal
boundaries.
__2__
And
never
borrow
things
without
asking
first.
●Punctuality.
__3__
Therefore,
always
be
on
time.
For
teenagers,
showing
up
on
time
means
coming
home
by
curfew
(宵禁).
Adult
children
should
show
up
on
time
for
family
dinners
or
events,
or
to
pick
a
parent
up
for
a
medical
appointment.
Call
if
you're
going
to
be
late
because
parents
worry
about
children,
no
matter
their
age.
●__4__
Remembering
birthdays,
anniversaries
and
other
special
days
is
a
sign
that
you
honor
your
parents.
Make
plans
to
take
them
to
lunch
or
dinner
or
bake
a
cake
or
cookies.
Most
parents
don't
expect
expensive
gifts,
but
a
handmade
gift
is
always
appreciated.
A
phone
call
from
a
grown
child
who
lives
too
far
for
a
visit
is
a
welcome
sign
of
respect.
●Be
kind.
Kind
words
and
affection
are
simple
ways
to
show
respect.
Tell
your
parents
you
love
them.
Listen
and
allow
your
parents
to
speak
without
interruption.
Show
a
sincere
interest
in
what
your
parents
have
to
say.
Be
patient
with
your
parents
and
don't
rush
them.
Never
talk
back
or
be
rude
or
disrespectful.
Acknowledge
your
parents'
achievements.
__5__
A．Be
a
good
listener.
B．Celebrate
with
them.
C．Lateness
indicates
a
lack
of
respect.
D．Treat
your
parents
the
way
you
would
like
to
be
treated.
E．And
they
love
you
unconditionally
throughout
your
life.
F．Being
respectful
helps
build
positive
relationships
with
others.
G．Don't
take
advantage
of
your
parents'
kindness
and
generosity.
作为子女我们应该尊重自己的父母。文章从五个方面向我们说明了怎样尊敬父母。
1．E　承接前后句，是父母无条件的爱，让我们必须尊敬他们。
2．G　提到“Respect
their
belongings”“never
borrow
things
without
asking
first”，故G合乎文意。
3．C　“always
on
time”准时，与C项相呼应。
4．B　提到生日、周年纪念日与重要的日子，应一起庆祝。
5．D　对待父母应该友善，认可他们的成就，故选D。
