Module 3 The Violence of Nature
Ⅰ.话题延读
The African elephant,the largest land animal remaining on earth,is of great importance to African ecosystem.Unlike other animals,the African elephant is to a great extent the builder of its environment.As a big plant-eater,it largely shapes the forest-and-savanna(大草原) surroundings in which it lives,therefore setting the terms of existence for millions of other animals that live in its habitat.
It is the elephant’s great desire for food that makes it a disturber of the environment and an important builder of its habitat.In its continuous search for the 300 pounds of plants it must have every day,it kills small trees and under-bushes,and pulls branches off big trees.This results in numerous open spaces in both deep tropical forests and in the woodlands that cover part of the African savannas.In these open spaces are numerous plants in various stages of growth that attract a variety of other plant-eaters.
Take the rainforests for example.In their natural state,the spreading branches overhead shut out the sunlight and prevent the growth of plants on the forest floor.By pulling down trees and eating plants,elephants make open spaces,allowing new plants to grow on the forest floor.In such situations the forests become suitable for large hoofed plant-eaters to move around and for small plant-eaters to get their food as well.
What worries scientists now is that the African elephant has become an endangered species.If the elephant disappears,scientists say,many other animals will also disappear from vast areas of forest and savanna,greatly changing and worsening the whole ecosystem.
1.What does the underlined phrase “setting the terms” most probably mean?
A.Improving the quality. B.Worsening the state.
C.Fixing the time. D.Deciding the conditions.
2.The passage is developed mainly by .?
A.showing the effect and then explaining the causes
B.giving examples
C.pointing out similarities and differences
D.describing the changes in time order
3.What is the passage mainly about?
A.Forests and savannas as habitats for African elephants.
B.The eating habit of African elephants.
C.Disappearance of African elephants.
D.The effect of African elephants’ search for food.
4.What do we know about the open spaces in the passage?
A.They are home to many endangered animals.
B.They result from the destruction of rainforests.
C.They are attractive to plant-eating animals of different kinds.
D.They provide food mainly for African elephants.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。非洲象对非洲森林和大草原的生态系统十分重要,它们的觅食对生态环境有很大影响。现在,令科学家们担忧的是,非洲象正濒临灭绝,这也就意味着整个非洲的生态系统正在遭受威胁。
答案及剖析:
1.D 词义猜测题。根据第一段内容可知,非洲象对非洲的生态系统十分重要,它们在很大程度上是生态环境的创造者,它们塑造了非洲的森林和大草原的环境。由此可推断出,非洲象决定了在它们的栖息地上生活的其他动物的生存条件。因此,“setting the terms”的意思应为“决定了条件”。故选D。
2.A 写作手法题。根据文章内容可知,第一段内容主要介绍了非洲象对整个非洲生态环境的重大影响,接下来的三段话主要解释了为什么它们会有这么大的影响。因此全文应是按照先给出结果、再说明原因的方式展开的。故选A。
3.D 主旨大意题。根据文章内容可判断出,本文主要讲述了非洲象对非洲森林和大草原的生态系统的重要性,它们的觅食对生态环境有很大影响。故选D。
4.C 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句In these open spaces are numerous plants in various stages of growth that attract a variety of other plant-eaters.可知,那些开阔的地方对各种食草动物很具吸引力。故选C。
Ⅱ.七选五
(2018石家庄质检)
Everyone can benefit from making an effort to practice gratitude(感激)every day.The following three steps can help you start feeling more grateful,and appreciative of the good things in your life:
Notice the Good Things in Your Life
1. Pay attention to the small everyday details of your life—nature,people,community,shelter,creature comforts like a warm bed or a good meal.And then start a gratitude journal.Making a commitment to writing down good things each day makes it more likely that we will notice good things as they happen.?
Enjoy the Feeling of Gratitude
There are moments when you naturally,right then and there,feel filled with gratitude.These are moments when you say to yourself,“Oh,wow,this is amazing!”or “How great this is!”Pause.2. Let it sink in.Enjoy your blessings the moment they happen.?
Express Gratitude
Expressing gratitude is more than being polite.3. Show your appreciation to someone who really did something nice.Say:“It was really kind of you to...”,“You did me a big favor when...”,or“Thank you for being there when...”.4. Hold the door open for the person behind you,even if it means waiting a little longer than you normally would.?
True gratitude doesn’t leave you feeling like you owe other people something—after all,if you’ve done someone a favor,you probably don’t want the person to feel like you expect something back in return.5. ?
A.It’s about showing your heartfelt appreciation.
B.Notice and absorb that feeling of true gratitude.
C.You can also express gratitude by doing a kindness.
D.It’s all about feeling good and creating a cycle of good.
E.Start to notice and identify the things you are grateful for.
F.Help someone without letting the person find out it was you.
G.It’s amazing what you notice when you focus on feeling grateful.

答案及剖析:
1.B 由最后一段中的“the cold”可知,男孩因天冷将连帽衫拉起来遮住脸,故选pulled。

8.D 根据下文的内容可知,此处指一个男孩向作者要钱,尽管作者有钱,但他却告诉男孩他没钱。前后句之间是让步关系,故选though“尽管”。

胜出”。?
10.B 由“to give him a dollar.But it seemed...air.”可知,此处指作者虽然因疑心而没有给男孩钱,但内心一直很惭愧,故选ashamed“惭愧的,羞愧的”。
11.B 由下文中的“But it seemed that he had disappeared into thin air.”可知,此处指作者去寻找(looking for) 要钱的男孩,但他似乎已消失得无影无踪了。
12.C 由上文的内容及“This time”和“I’ll do it”可知,此处指作者这次吸取了上次的教训,决定改变做法,去帮助向他要钱的男孩,故选differently“不同地”。
13.B 由“reached into”和“took out”可知,此处指作者把手伸进钱包,取出了额外的20美元。
14.A 由下文中的“approaching strangers who walked past him”可知,男孩仍在停车场,故选still“仍然”。
15.D 由“approaching strangers who walked past him...handed him the $20 bill”可知,为了凑够房费,男孩不断地接近从他身边经过的陌生人,但无人理会他。constantly“不断地”。
16.D 参见上题剖析。take no notice of “不理会”。
17.B 由空前的“waved”和下文中的“I handed him the $20 bill.”可知,此处指作者把车停在了油泵旁边,向男孩招手让他过来。wave at/to sb.“向某人招手”。
18.D 由下文中的“through my car window and gave me a huge hug”可知,男孩把手伸进车窗,给了作者一个大大的拥抱,故选reached。
19.A 由文章开头的“One rainy evening”可知,故事发生在雨夜,而最后男孩凑够了房费,这意味着他可以不用待在雨中了,也一语双关地表示他终于摆脱困境了,故选rain。
20.C 由上文中的“the cold and the darkening sky”和“go inside”可知,此处指男孩可以走进温暖的宾馆房间。同时此处也升华了文章的主题,即帮助他人,让他人感觉到温暖。
