Ⅱ.阅读理解
Their
cheery
song
brightens
many
a
winter’s
day.But
robins
are
in
danger
of
wearing
themselves
out
by
singing
too
much.Robins
are
singing
all
night—as
well
as
during
the
day,British-based
researchers
say.
David
Dominoni,of
Glasgow
University,said
that
light
from
street
lamps,takeaway
signs
and
homes
is
affecting
the
birds’
biological
clocks,leading
to
them
being
wide
awake
when
they
should
be
asleep.
Dr
Dominoni,who
is
putting
cameras
inside
nesting
boxes
to
track
sleeping
patterns,said
lack
of
sleep
could
put
the
birds’
health
at
risk.His
study
shows
that
when
robins
are
exposed
to
light
at
night
in
the
lab,it
leads
to
some
genes
being
active
at
the
wrong
time
of
day.And
the
more
birds
are
exposed
to
light,the
more
active
they
are
at
night.
He
told
people
at
a
conference,“There
have
been
a
couple
of
studies
suggesting
they
are
increasing
their
song
output
at
night
and
during
the
day
they
are
still
singing.Singing
is
a
costly
behaviour
and
it
takes
energy.So
by
increasing
their
song
output,there
might
be
some
costs
of
energy.”
And
it
is
not
just
robins
that
are
being
kept
awake
by
artificial
light.Blackbirds
and
seagulls
are
also
being
more
nocturnal.Dr
Dominoni
said,“In
Glasgow
where
I
live,gulls
are
a
serious
problem.I
have
people
coming
to
me
saying‘You
are
the
bird
expert.Can
you
help
us
kill
these
gulls ’.During
the
breeding(繁殖)season,between
April
and
June,they
are
very
active
at
night
and
very
noisy
and
people
can’t
sleep.”
Although
Dr
Dominoni
has
only
studied
light
pollution,other
research
concluded
that
robins
living
in
noisy
cities
have
started
to
sing
at
night
to
make
themselves
heard
over
loud
noise.
However,some
birds
thrive(兴旺)in
noisy
environments.A
study
from
California
Polytechnic
University
found
more
hummingbirds
in
areas
with
heavy
industrial
machinery.It
is
thought
that
they
are
capitalising
on
their
predators(天敌)fleeing
to
quieter
areas.
1.According
to
Dr
Dominoni’s
study,what
causes
robins
to
sing
so
much
A.The
breeding
season.
B.The
light
in
modern
life.
C.The
dangerous
environment.
D.The
noise
from
heavy
machinery.
2.What
is
the
researchers’
concern
over
the
increase
of
birds’
song
output
A.The
environment
might
be
polluted.
B.The
birds’
health
might
be
damaged.
C.The
industry
cost
might
be
increased.
D.The
people’s
hearing
might
be
affected.
3.What
does
the
underlined
word“nocturnal”in
Paragraph
5
mean 　　
　　　　　　
　　　　　　
A.Active
at
night.
B.Inactive
at
night.
C.Active
during
the
day.
D.Inactive
during
the
day.
4.Why
do
some
birds
thrive
in
noisy
environments
A.Because
there
are
fewer
dangers.
B.Because
there
is
more
food
to
eat.
C.Because
there
is
less
light
pollution.
D.Because
there
are
more
places
to
take
shelter.
Ⅲ.完形填空
　　My
fianc (未婚夫)and
I
were
excited
about
shopping
for
our
first
home.But
our
funds
were　1　,and
none
of
the
houses
in
our
price
range
seemed
satisfactory.
One
agent　2　a
house
in
particular.Although
her
description
sounded
wonderful,the
price
was
beyond
our
range,so
we　3　.But
she
kept
urging
us
to
have
a
look
at
least.
We
finally
did
and
it
was　4　at
first
sight.It
was
Our
Home,small
and
charming,overlooking
a
quiet
lake.Walking
through
the
rooms
and
talking
with
the
owners,a
nice
elderly
couple,we
felt
the
warmth
and
　5　of
the
marriage
within
that
home.As
perfect
as
it
was,the
price
remained
too
high
for
us.But
every
day,we
would
sit
by
the
lake,looking
at
the
house
and
dreaming
of
what
it
would
be
like
to
live
there.
Days
later,we
made
a(n)　6　—far
below
the
asking
price.Surprisingly,they
didn’t
laugh
at
us.They
renewed
their
offer
instead.It
was
also
much
more
than
we
could
afford,but
far　7　than
the
original
asking
price.
The
next
day,we
got
a　8　message
that
another
buyer
had
offered
a
much
higher
price.Even
so,we
decided
to
talk
with
the
　9　directly.We
made
our
final
offer,which　10　was
thousands
of
dollars
less
than
the
other
buyer’s
bid.We
knew
it,but
we
had
to
try.
“Sold!”said
the
owner.Then
he　11　:He’d
seen
us
sitting
by
the
lake
all
those
times;he
knew
how
much
we
loved
the
place
and
that
we’d　12　the
years
of
work
they
had
put
into
their
home;he
realized
he
would
take
a　13　by
selling
it
to
us,but
it
was
worthwhile;we
were
the
people
they
wanted
to
live
there.He
told
us
to
consider
the　14　in
the
price“an
early
wedding
present”.
That’s
how
we
found
our
home
and
how
I
learned
that
when
people
are　15　,they
are
not
strangers,only
friends
we
haven’t
yet
met.

答案全解全析
Ⅰ.单句填空
1.lived　句意:他们在荷兰生活了十年。他们现在已在巴黎定居了。根据句意可知,在荷兰生活十年是过去的事,故用一般过去时。
2.that　句意:他有可能是因为一个很简单的理由把钱留下来的——他根本就不知道钱在那里。that引导一个同位语从句,解释说明the
simple
reason的内容。
3.defended　句意:被指责吝啬时,他辩解说他只是对自己的钱比较小心。
4.defended　句意:加拿大和美国之间的边境据说是世界上最长的没有军队或警察设防的边境线。过去分词短语not
defended
by
an
army
or
the
police
作定语修饰the
longest
border
in
the
world。
5.changing　句意:我不喜欢现在的工作,所以我正在考虑换一份新的。consider
doing
sth考虑做某事。
6.and　句意:再给一周,我们将完成这个任务。考查祈使句+and+陈述句。and在此处表示递进。
7.unintentionally　句意:有些破坏是人们仅仅在遗址周围行走而无意中造成的,而有些则是有意的。根据题干的后半部分中的“deliberately(有意地)”可知,设空处应该是要表达“无意地”之意。
8.equipment　句意:摄影室的设备很昂贵。根据前面的冠词可知此处应填名词,equipment为不可数名词。
9.located　空格处所在部分可改写为定语从句which
is
located
in
the...,词组be
located+介词短语意为“坐落于,位于”。
10.have
broken　句意:——起居室真乱啊!——肯定有人闯入我们的房子了。表示对过去情况的肯定推测用“must
have
done”。
11.In　句意:我很羡慕那些人。尽管钱不多,但他们觉得幸福和满足。根据having
little
money和feel
happy
and
satisfied可知两者是让步关系。in
spite
of尽管。
12.To
work　句意:为了解决这道数学难题,我已经向Russell教授请教了好几次了。从题意可知,设空处为动词不定式作目的状语。
13.associated　句意:与事故有关的这个年轻人已经被询问了。be
associated
with与……有关的。
14.being
caught　句意:新证据的发现导致小偷被抓。
15.charged　句意:他曾经被指控贩毒,但后来发现的证据证明他是无辜的。
be
charged
with被指控犯有……罪。
Ⅱ.阅读理解
[语篇解读]　本文为说明文,题材为环境保护类。文章主要通过描述知更鸟在人类社会的光污染下昼夜歌唱,造成体力的严重消耗和睡眠缺乏,这对其寿命构成威胁,也影响到人类的睡眠环境。呼吁社会:给鸟类一个天堂,还人类一份宁静。
1.B　细节理解题。由文章第二段中“light
from
street
lamps,takeaway
signs
and
homes
is
affecting
the
birds’
biological
clocks,leading
to
them
being
wide
awake
when
they
should
be
asleep”和第三段最后一句And
the
more
birds
are
exposed
to
light,the
more
active
they
are
at
night.可知答案。
2.B　细节理解题。由文章第三段第一句Dr
Dominoni,who
is
putting
cameras
inside
nesting
boxes
to
track
sleeping
patterns,said
lack
of
sleep
could
put
the
birds’
health
at
risk.可知答案。
3.A　词义猜测题。由上文可知,知更鸟受到人造灯光的干扰而无法入睡。根据not
just和also的提示,再根据信息句“During
the
breeding
season,between
April
and
June,they
are
very
active
at
night
and
very
noisy
and
people
can’t
sleep.”可知,画线词表示“夜间活动的”。故A项正确。
4.A　推理判断题。
由文章最后一段最后一句“It
is
thought
that
they
are
capitalising
on
their
predators
fleeing
to
quieter
areas.”可知,一些鸟类在嘈杂的环境中兴旺是因为面临的危险少了。故A项正确。
Ⅲ.完形填空
[语篇解读]　本文是一篇记叙文,题材是人物故事类。我和未婚夫要买一套房子,可是我们看中的房子的价格大大超出了我们的购买能力。通过我们的努力争取,更是由于房主的善良我们最终得到了梦寐以求的房子。这期间究竟发生了什么故事呢
1.B　根据本句中的But及and后的内容可推知,我们买房子的资金是有限的(limited)。
2.A　一位代理人向我们特别推荐了一套房子。
3.C　尽管她对房子的描述听起来非常好,可是价格却超出了我们可承受的范围,
所以我们谢绝了。decline谢绝;下降。
4.C　根据后文对房子的描述可知答案为C项。It
was
love
at
first
sight.那是一见钟情。
5.B
　我们在那个家里感觉到了婚姻带来的温暖和幸福。与warmth对应的应是happiness,故选B项。
6.B　根据后面的their
offer可知答案为B项。
7.C　尽管要价还是大大超出了我们的支付能力,但比最初的要价低了很多。
8.B　第二天我们获得了一个让我们失望的(disappointing)消息:另外一个买家出了一个比我们的出价高出很多的价格。relaxing令人放松的;pleasant令人愉快的;regular有规律的。
9.D　即使是这样,我们还是决定直接去和房主(owners)面谈。根据后面的the
owner可知答案为D项。
10.B　我们给出了最后的出价,这个价格还是(still)比另外那个买家出的价低好几千美元。
11.D　房主答应把房子卖给我们,接下来他解释了(explained)这么做的原因,后面就是他说的原因,故选D项。
12.C　他知道我们有多么爱这个地方,也会感激(appreciate)他们这么多年来倾注在这所房子上的心血。
13.A　他知道把房子卖给我们会损失一些钱,但是这么做是值得的。
14.B　他告诉我们这个差价就算是提前送给我们的结婚礼物了。此处指两种出价的差价,故选B项。
15.A　根据上文的描述可知这所房子的主人对我们太好(kind)了。
Ⅳ.语法填空
[语篇解读]　本文为记叙文。作者通过自己的亲身经历说明了贫穷并不可怕,只要给孩子付出真爱,孩子一样能感受到幸福。
1.struggling　分析句子结构可知设空处与young、substitute并列作teacher的定语,故用现在分词作定语。
2.and/so　“Money
was
tight,bills
were
due”与“my
wife
and
I
couldn’t
even
afford
to
get
Christmas
gifts
for
each
other”为两个分句,这两个分句之间为顺承或因果关系,故答案为and或so。
3.sold　“that
I
had
found　3　(sell)at
half
price
in
the
supermarket”为定语从句,先行词为toys,将先行词代入定语从句后为I
had
found
a
few
soft
toys　3　(sell)at
half
price
in
the
supermarket.由此可见设空处作宾补,toys与sell为逻辑上的被动关系,故用过去分词形式。
4.had
hidden　“I　4　(hide)in
our
old
car’s
trunk”为定语从句,设空处表示的动作发生在brought
in之前,即“过去的过去”,故设空处应该用过去完成时态。
5.them　设空处用来指代上句的the
gifts。
6.noticed　此处应用一般过去时。
7.happily　设空处需用副词作状语修饰谓语动词hugged。
8.for　介词for与句中的hours连用,表示“一段时间”。
9.greatest　由后面的“I
had
ever
been
given”可判断设空处应为形容词最高级形式。
10.the　此处表示特指,故用定冠词。
