Ⅲ.阅读理解
Clover, a three-year-old spirit bear, lives at the B.C.Wildlife Park near Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada.He lost his parents two years ago and was raised at a wildlife center.When he was set free into the wild, he broke into human camps looking for food.Wildlife experts (专家) tried to get him used to living on his own, but he continued to look for places where there were people.Finally the experts decided that he could not live in the wild.Since then, a total of $750,000 has been collected to create a habitat for Clover.
The habitat covers about three acres (英亩) of land and includes natural forest, two ponds connected by a small river and something else.It will add a platform and a walkway later this year so that people can see Clover and his habitat more closely.There will also be a center where people can learn more about spirit bears.Besides, a black bear will be moved into the habitat so Clover will not feel lonely.
Spirit bears are also called Kermode bears after Francis Kermode, who first studied them.Kermode discovered that a small number of black bears carry a gene (基因) for white fur.If a baby bear receives one of these genes from each parent, its fur will be a creamy white color.There are about 1,200 bears who carry the gene for white fur, but only about 200 white Kermode bears in the world.Kermode bears are found only in British Columbia.They live in the Great Bear Rainforest, an area that covers the mainland and islands along the coast of B.C.between Vancouver and Alaska.

[用法总结]
动词不定式作目的状语通常译为“为了……”,主要有以下三种结构形式:
结构形式
位置
说明
(not) to do...,
句首、句尾
位于句首时,表示强调目的。
in order (not)to do...
句首、句尾,
这种结构形式更能突出目的性,为了表示强调,常置于句首。
so as (not) to do...
句尾
这种结构形式也是为了突出状语的目的性,与第二种结构形式所不同的主要是位置的区别。
①They worked hard to get good marks in the final exams.

Ⅱ.根据提示完成课堂小作文

Mr.Li__was__invited__to__have__a__picnic__in__the__forest.But__when__arriving__at__the__destination,__he__found__that__there__was__not__a__parking__lot.Therefore,__he__had__to__park__his__bike__by__the__side__of__the__path.Unfortunately,__when__he__finished__the__picnic,__he__found__that__his__bike__disappeared.To__prevent__this__from__happening__again,__he__came__up__with__a__solution—designing__a__tracking__system.Since__then,__his__bike__has__never__been__stolen__again.
名词用作动词
一、在英文中,有许多“名词活用作动词”的现象。或者说,这些单词本身就有动词的意思,只是我们在学习这些单词的时候通常只接触了其名词的意思。
举个最简单的例子“man”这个单词,我们都知道是人、男人的意思,但它也可以作动词,有操作、配置人员、使增强勇气、拿出男子气概等意思。
You need to man up and own up to your mistake.
你要像个男人一样承认自己的错误。
二、熟练掌握这种名词和动词之间的转换具有非常重要的意义,对于我们英语水平的提高也至关重要。它的主要作用体现在:
1.让语言更加简洁
比如说表示“我坐公共汽车去上班”这个意思,你可以说“I take a bus to work”也可以说“I bus to work”。
当bus作动词时既包含了乘坐这个动作,又包含了所乘坐的交通工具,所以可以帮助省略不必要的take,让说话写作更加简洁明了。
2.使语言更加生动
比如corner这个单词,名词意思是角落、墙角,动词的意思则有转弯、垄断、使为难等等。
With this new technology, we are going to corner the market within the next two years.有了这项新科技,我们将在未来两年垄断市场。
当corner这个单词作垄断意思解释的时候非常形象,想象一下一家公司把所有竞争者都逼到了墙角,这不就是垄断吗?
还有个单词entrance,名词解释是入口,但当它作动词时就变成了使着迷、欣喜若狂。想象一下某个事物可以进入你的心灵,让你为之心动。
Her beauty entrances him.她的美丽让他痴迷。
所以如果能做到名词的动词活用,可以使英文的语句更加具有画面感。
3.使语言更加地道
比如我们要用英文表达“他著有两本畅销小说”。
你当然可以说“He has written two best-selling novels”,但这里的write让人感觉只是“写”,而没有“著”,所以会显得不够书面,不够地道。
如果用authored来取代written就可以准确地表达出句子。
英文单词中名词作动词的情形远远不止以上的例子。比如还有一组植物的名词,像花flower、杂草weed、植物plant、种子seed、根root等等都可以作动词使用,分别是成熟、除草、种植、播种、固定的意思。
随着人类社会的不断前进,语言也不断地向前发展,旧词少用,新词产生,语言变得越来越生动、形象,富于表现力和丰富多彩。人们常常用转化法、合成法、派生法等来创造新词。
所谓转化法,就是词类转化,或叫词性转化,即利用某些词本身固有的特点,把原属于一类词性的词转化成另一种词类,即一种词类不经过任何词态变化而有意地作另一类词使用,同时又没有失去原有词内在的意思。

Ⅲ.阅读理解
Seal Island is a 200-meter long island in South Africa, which is surrounded by 55 to 57 degrees Fahrenheit waters and covered with over 60,000 seals and some birds.This island has been home to many birds and seals.You may think this island is a paradise.In fact, the island is not famous for the seals or birds.However, the real stars are the great white sharks that leap out of the water to catch the seals they are hunting.
You may think that there is no way for a 15-foot long, 3,000-pound shark to hurl its body out of the water and catch a seal in midair.Actually, these sharks are called “Air Jaws”.
Over the years, the seals have gotten smarter.Now, they go out in groups of seven and eight to feed.They swim down on the sea floor, which gives them extra camouflage (掩饰).When they have to swim near the water surface, they swim in a zigzag (之字形的) pattern.But with all these tricks, they can still be outwitted (以智取胜) by the sharks.Usually, the sharks will take one seal away from its group and force it to swim on the surface, where it is easy to hunt.Sometimes, the seal is lucky and gets away, but most of them die in the process of trying to survive.
Every year, tourists go to see these amazing animals leap out of the water, sometimes flinging (抛) their whole bodies into the air when they want to catch the seals.Some people even want to go into shark cages to see the action from below! This is the reason why this island attracts thousands of tourists around the world every year.

=We’ ll hold a meeting ________________ the unhealthy lifestyle.
=___________________ the unhealthy lifestyle, we’ll hold a meeting.to helpto discussin order to discussso as to discussTo/In order to discuss名词用作动词一、在英文中,有许多“名词活用作动词”的现象。或者说,这些单词本身就有动词的意思,只是我们在学习这些单词的时候通常只接触了其名词的意思。举个最简单的例子“man”这个单词,我们都知道是人、男人的意思,但它也可以作动词,有操作、配置人员、使增强勇气、拿出男子气概等意思。
You need to man up and own up to your mistake.
你要像个男人一样承认自己的错误。二、熟练掌握这种名词和动词之间的转换具有非常重要的意义,对于我们英语水平的提高也至关重要。它的主要作用体现在:1.让语言更加简洁比如说表示“我坐公共汽车去上班”这个意思,你可以说“I take a bus to work”也可以说“I bus to work”。
当bus作动词时既包含了乘坐这个动作,又包含了所乘坐的交通工具,所以可以帮助省略不必要的take,让说话写作更加简洁明了。2.使语言更加生动比如corner这个单词,名词意思是角落、墙角,动词的意思则有转弯、垄断、使为难等等。
With this new technology, we are going to corner the market within the next two years.
有了这项新科技,我们将在未来两年垄断市场。
当corner这个单词作垄断意思解释的时候非常形象,想象一下一家公司把所有竞争者都逼到了墙角,这不就是垄断吗?
还有个单词entrance,名词解释是入口,但当它作动词时就变成了使着迷、欣喜若狂。想象一下某个事物可以进入你的心灵,让你为之心动。
Her beauty entrances him.她的美丽让他痴迷。所以如果能做到名词的动词活用,可以使英文的语句更加具有画面感。3.使语言更加地道比如我们要用英文表达“他著有两本畅销小说”。
你当然可以说“He has written two best-selling novels”,但这里的write让人感觉只是“写”,而没有“著”,所以会显得不够书面,不够地道。
如果用authored来取代written就可以准确地表达出句子。
英文单词中名词作动词的情形远远不止以上的例子。比如还有一组植物的名词,像花flower、杂草weed、植物plant、种子seed、根root等等都可以作动词使用,分别是成熟、除草、种植、播种、固定的意思。随着人类社会的不断前进,语言也不断地向前发展,旧词少用,新词产生,语言变得越来越生动、形象,富于表现力和丰富多彩。人们常常用转化法、合成法、派生法等来创造新词。
所谓转化法,就是词类转化,或叫词性转化,即利用某些词本身固有的特点,把原属于一类词性的词转化成另一种词类,即一种词类不经过任何词态变化而有意地作另一类词使用,同时又没有失去原有词内在的意思。[巩固内化]写出下列加黑单词的词义

Four animals—a wildcat, a mongoose, a mouse and an owl—had made their home in a huge tree.
The mouse and the mongoose lived at the foot of the tree in two different holes.The cat lived in a large hole halfway up the tree and the owl lived in the branches.
The cat feared none of its neighbours and moved about, afraid of nothing.The owl and the mongoose were afraid of the cat and kept a safe distance from it.The mouse was extremely afraid of all three neighbours.
One day the cat was caught in a trap laid by a hunter.Its three neighbours watched with joy as it tried extremely hard to get out of the net in which it had been trapped.They knew it was a hopeless task.Soon the hunter would come and they would never see their enemy forever.The mouse’s joy, however, was short-lived because even as it watched the cat, it found that the mongoose was moving towards it.Looking up, it saw that the owl too was getting ready to move down.The mouse understood that it was in great danger and that the only one who could save it was its enemy, the cat.
It jumped onto the net in which the cat was caught and began biting at it.Within a short time it had made a hole big enough for the cat to come out.Seeing the cat come out, the owl and the mongoose escaped.
The mouse ran away too.It knew it could not expect any thanks from the cat, but in saving it, it had saved its own life.

本单元的写作项目属于新课标中应用文体类别中的调查报告。调查报告属于应用文,一般是用简洁、生动的语言把图中所提供的信息准确、完整地表达出来,还需要分析调查结果,揭示其规律,找出解决问题的对策。调查报告主要包括介绍、主要发现、结论。
Ⅰ.Pre-writing
(Ⅰ)Learn to write after the model
Action Taken by City Residents to Help Protect the Environment
Last August, city officials interviewed about 500 residents to find out people’s attitudes to protecting the environment and what actions they had taken.Here are the results:
As the diagram shows, the percentage of those who felt that they needed to help protect the environment is as high as 96%.Very few (4%) felt it was not necessary.More than half of those who took part in the survey had done four of the five activities in the past month.Around 90% have tried to recycle waste such as glass, metal and paper; and more than two thirds (70%) have tried to cut back on the use of disposable packaging, such as plastic honey bottles, and butter and yoghurt containers.Also, the majority of residents had cycled or walked.
Unfortunately, not as many who took part have taken action to save water and energy in their homes.Just under 40% (38%) tried to save water when they were washing dishes or taking showers.Just over half (51%) tried to save energy by reducing the use of air conditioning or turning off lights.
To sum up, it seems that almost all who took part understand the need to help take care of the environment.Most of them try to recycle waste, ride bikes and walk, and reduce the use of disposable packaging.However, not as many are saving water and energy.This indicates that the residents need to pay more attention to these two activities.

注意:1.词数100左右;2.可适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。
Step 1 List the outline of the passage.
1.首段:介绍(介绍调查时间、对象、问题)
2.中段:说明主要的发现
3.尾段:结论(发表自己的观点)
Step 2 List the words,phrases and sentences.
1.Words and phrases
①snacks n.零食; 快餐
②prefer v. 更喜欢;宁愿
③waste vt. 浪费
④precious adj. 宝贵的
⑤hard-earned adj. 来之不易的
⑥spend__money__on 在……上花钱
⑦on__the__other__hand 另一方面
⑧put__on__weight 体重增加
⑨do__harm__to 对……有害
⑩result__in 导致
2.Sentences
①吃太多零食不仅使我们发胖而且危害健康。( not only...but also...结构 )
Eating__too__many__snacks__will__not__only__make__us__put__on__weight__but__also__do__harm__to__our__health.
②如果我们无限制地打游戏,我们就会失去许多珍贵的时间,这会导致成绩下降。(条件状语从句;which引导的非限制性定语从句)
If__we__play__games__without__limit,__we’ll__lose__much__precious__time,__which__results__in__low__grades.
Step 3 Draft the article by using the following words.
still, on the other hand, while, in my opinion, in addition, furthermore
Recently a survey has been done to find out how middle school students spend their pocket money.The results are as follows:
As the diagram shows, both junior students and senior students spend most of their money on books, snacks and playing games, and still some money goes to clothes, banks, sports, and so on.The survey shows that about 46% of seniors prefer books to snacks (37%)and playing games (31%).On the other hand, only 32% of juniors will spend their pocket money buying books, while over a half buy snacks and 46% spend on playing games.Both seniors and juniors would not waste too much money in clothes or put it in banks.
In my opinion, eating too many snacks will not only make us put on weight but also do harm to our health.In addition, if we play games without limit, we’ ll lose much precious time, which results in low grades.Furthermore, the money is hard-earned.I hope we students value our money as well as our time.
Ⅲ.Post-writing—polishing the passage
Exchange your passage with your partner, and pay attention to the following points.
□1.Is the format of the survey report appropriate?

写作技巧
1.注意时态和文体
调查报告的时态应以一般现在时为主,兼具说明文和议论文的特征。
2.写作内容
调查报告通常会以表格或文字等方式给予提示,相对来说,提示内容比较具体,但总结或陈述观点的部分需要自己整理思路来完成,这是开放的部分,也是展示自己写作水平和材料组织能力的部分。
3.注意语言
用图表或表格的方式给予提示的书面表达,要点较多,容易头绪混乱。因此,在表达时,要注意适当整合所给信息,并采用简要的语言灵活表达,切忌按所给提示一一罗列,从而导致篇幅过长、语言冗杂等问题。

Ⅳ.阅读理解
A
Wildlife faces threats from habitat destruction,pollution and other human actions.Although protecting wildlife can seem difficult at times,even small actions in your own neighborhood can help protect many different animals.As the saying goes,“Think globally and act locally.”You can protect wildlife for future generations.
Create wildlife-friendly areas in your backyard.When choosing your lawn and landscaping,choose native plants that can provide food or living places for native wildlife.This will also help cut down on pollution.Add bird or bat houses to your yard or garden to attract these species and offer places to them to live in.
Avoid disrupting(扰乱) the natural ecosystem in your area.Non-native plants or animals can destroy habitats,particularly if there is no natural predator(捕食性动物) to keep the species in a certain amount.They can kill or disturb native plants that provide food and living places for wildlife.
Practice a greener lifestyle.By saving water and fossil fuels,you will be helping to protect the wildlife around you.Take public transportation when you can,turn off electric devices when you’re not using them,take shorter showers and keep your heat at or below 20 ℃ during the winter.Become knowledgeable about what can cause global warming,which disrupts migration patterns and habitats.
Buy products that are wildlife-friendly.Avoid products that are made from threatened or endangered animals.Keep in mind that some endangered animals are killed by traps,or hunters who are after other wildlife within the same habitat.
Talk to or write to policymakers about protecting wildlife.Write letters to a local newspaper.Discuss ways to help animals with friends and family members.
Limit the family size.Population growth is one of the major factors in habitat destruction.By living in established city limits and limiting the family size to around two children per family,the earth’s population will stabilize(稳定) and native habitats can be protected.

1970 was the World Conservation (自然保护) Year.The United Nations wanted everyone to know that the world was in danger.They hoped that governments would go into action (行动) quickly in order to conserve nature.Here is one example of the problems.At one time there were 1,300 different plants,trees and flowers in Holland,but now only 860 remain.The others have been destroyed by modern men and their technology.We are changing the earth,the air and the water,and everything that grows and lives.We can’t live without these plants.If we continue like this,we will destroy ourselves.
What will happen in the future?Perhaps it is more important to ask “What must we do now?” The people who will be living in the world of tomorrow are the young of today.A lot of them know that conservation is necessary.Many are helping to save our world.They plant trees,build bridges across rivers in forests,and so on.In a small town in the United States a large group of girls cleaned the banks of 11 kilometres of their river.Young people may hear about conservation through a record called “No one’s going to change our world”.It was made by the Beatles,Cliff Richard and other singers.The money from it will help conserve wild animals.

To sum up, it seems that almost all who took part understand the need to help take care of the environment.Most of them try to recycle waste, ride bikes and walk, and reduce the use of disposable packaging.However, not as many are saving water and energy.This indicates that the residents need to pay more attention to these two activities.(Ⅱ)Preparation for writing—Words and phrases①________________ n.调查

After the heavy rain passes, a man at a company that lies on the riverbank arrives for work.At the water’s edge, he notices a baby beaver (海狸) balls up on the ground.Realizing that the animal needs help, the man picks him up and drives to a nearby animal hospital.From here the beaver is sent to the Calgary Wildlife Rehabilitation Society(CWRS), where he will begin his recovery.
Vets check the beaver—now named Birch—for wounds or broken bones.Luckily they find no injuries.“But he’s a real little animal—only three and a half pounds,” says Andrea Hunt, a worker at the rehab center.According to his weight, they think that Birch is about eight weeks old.“Baby beavers stay with their families for one to two years,” Hunt says.“He’s not ready to care for himself.If he hadn’t been saved, he almost certainly wouldn’t have survived.”
To keep Birch from getting lonely, Hunt pairs him with another baby beaver named Aspen.At first they’re fed a milky cereal.A few weeks later, Birch and Aspen begin a diet of solid food that includes leafy kale and collard greens.Wood is also on the menu.For exercise, each beaver receives its own pool to swim in.
About a year later, Birch weighs 27 pounds.“Not only is he healthy, but he’s also learned good survival skills,” Hunt says.“It’s time to let him go.” Early one morning the beaver is driven into a Canadian forest to be set free.Birch is carried in a cage (笼子) to the bank of a lake.When the door opens, he carefully steps out, then jumps into the water and swims away.“We’ll miss Birch,” Hunt says.“But nothing feels better than putting an animal back where it should be.”

Polar bears are not the only species in danger from global warming, a new report has warned.The US Center for Biological Diversity (CBD) claims 16 Arctic(北极的)animals are at risk from the melting ice as well as the polar bears.The animals have become a symbol of the environmental movement, as their numbers go down with the melting ice caps.
But they are not the only ones.A new report has warned that other animals are in danger of going extinct as well.Sea ice in the Arctic fell to its lowest level after records began in 2007 and scientists predict the area could be largely ice free in summer within 10 years.
Shaye Wolf, the lead author of the report, said Arctic foxes, whales, musk oxen(麝牛), walruses(海象)and four species of seals were all in danger—as well as polar bears.
“The polar bear is the best-known victim(受害者)of rapid melting in the Arctic, but if we don’t reduce greenhouse pollution, many more creatures will follow it down the path to extinction,__”she said.“Some Arctic species have already experienced widespread die-offs and population becomes less after losing key habitats and food sources; others face extreme weather events or suffer new pressures from predators(食肉动物).”
The CBD is also afraid these animals could be in danger if mining for oil goes ahead in this area.It is estimated that eight of the world’s 19 polar bear populations are becoming less as they struggle to raise young and hunt for food on ice.
【语篇解读】 本文主要讲了北极狐和其他几种动物和北极熊一样都面临着灭绝的危险。
28.What’s the main idea of the passage?
A.Polar bears are the only species in danger from global warming.
B.Why all Arctic species are in danger of dying out.
C.We should take measures to protect Arctic animals.
D.Arctic foxes, whales, musk oxen, walruses and four species of seals were all in danger—as well as polar bears.
答案 D [主旨大意题。综合全文和第三段可判断,本文主要讲了北极狐以及其他几种动物和北极熊一样都面临着灭绝的危险。]
29.What’s the meaning of the underlined word“extinction”?
A.繁衍 B.灭绝
C.存在 D.兴衰
答案 B [词义猜测题。从下文widespread die-offs可以推知extinction的含义。]
30.According to the passage, which of the following statements is correct?
A.Nine of the world’s 19 polar bear populations are becoming less now.
B.Polar bears are in danger mainly because their food sources are disappearing.
C.If we don’t take any effective measures to protect these animals in Arctic, more and more creatures will die out in the future.
D.Sea ice in the Arctic fell to its lowest level before records began in 2007.
答案 C [细节理解题。从第四段but if we don’t reduce greenhouse pollution, many more creatures will follow it down the path to extinction可知,C项正确。]
第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
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。
Mobile phones are one of the most useful inventions of the last 50 years, but not everything that is said about them is good.Mobiles are frequently blamed for a number of things, from thumb injuries and headaches to house fires.__31__
The theory is that the bees navigation(导航) systems are damaged by the radiation that is given off by mobile phones.Bees have a built-in system a bit like GPS and this helps them find their way back to their hive.But recently, thousands of bees have failed to find their way home.__32__
The problem was first noticed by beekeepers in America and is a lot more complicated than it at first seems.The important thing about bees is that most of the crops in many countries of the world are pollinated(授粉) by them.__33__ Many beekeepers in America and Europe have reported losing between 50 and 70 percent of their bees.Jim Piper, a London beekeeper, was recently asked how the problem was affecting him.“My business has been ruined by this,” he explained, “twenty-nine of my forty hives are now empty.”
__34__ However, the fact that bees are disappearing in very large numbers is real.And we can’t manage without them.Einstein said that if all our bees disappeared, man would only live for four more years!__35__ If the mobile phone theory is correct, we need to do something about it immediately—before it’s too late.
A.Bees are losing their way.
B.Nobody has proved the theory is true.
C.More evidence is provided to support the theory.
D.It is believed they are dying far from their hives.
E.Without bees, the crops can’t continue to grow.
F.The situation needs to be evaluated by the world’s best scientists.
G.One theory even blames mobile phones for the disappearance of bees.
【语篇解读】 这是一篇议论文。关于蜜蜂最重要的一点是,世界上许多国家的大多数农作物都是由它们授粉的。有一种理论认为,蜜蜂的导航系统受到手机辐射的破坏。没有人证明这个理论是正确的,但是蜜蜂正在大量消失的事实是真实的。这种情况需要由世界上最优秀的科学家来评估,然后立即采取行动。
31.G [根据上句:手机经常因为许多事情被指责,从拇指损伤和头痛到房屋火灾。可知,G项有一种理论甚至将蜜蜂的消失归咎于手机。与上文相匹配。one theory也与下一段中的The theory相呼应。]
32.D [根据上句:最近,成千上万的蜜蜂没能找到回家的路。由此推知,人们认为他们离蜂巢很远,快要死了。故选D。]
33.E [根据上句:关于蜜蜂最重要的一点是,世界上许多国家的大多数农作物都是由它们授粉的。可知,没有蜜蜂,庄稼就不能继续生长。故选E。]
34.B [根据第二段第一句“The theory is that the bees navigation(导航) systems are damaged by the radiation that is given off by mobile phones”该理论认为,蜜蜂的导航系统受到手机辐射的破坏。再根据下句:然而,事实上,蜜蜂正在大量消失的事实是真实的。可知此空的意思应该是:没有人证明这个理论是正确的。下句中的however表示转折,起着很大的作用。故选B。]
35.F [根据上句:爱因斯坦说,如果我们所有的蜜蜂都消失了,人类只会再活四年。再根据空格下句:如果移动电话理论是正确的,我们需要立即采取行动——在为时已晚之前。由此可知,这种情况需要由世界上最优秀的科学家来评估。故选F。]
第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分45分)
第一节(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
The basic meaning of “pet” is an animal we keep for emotional(情感的)rather than economic reasons.A pet animal is __36__ as a companion, and we all need companions to keep as feeling happy.__37__ pets offer more than mere companionship:they invite us to love and be loved.Many __38__ feel their pets understand them, for animals are __39__ to sense anger and sorrow.Often a cat or dog can comfort us __40__ when human words don’t help.We feel loved, too, by the way pets __41__ us for a home, for food and drink.Dogs __42__, look up to their owners, __43__ makes them feel important and needed.
A pet can be something __44__ to each member of the family, another baby to the mother, a sister or brother to a(n) __45__ child, a grandchild to the elderly, but for all of us pets provide __46__ and companionship.It has __47__ been suggested that tiny pets __48__ be sent as companions to astronauts on spaceships, to help reduce the stress(紧张)and __49__ of space flights.
In this Plastic Age, when most of us live in large cities, pets are particularly important for __50__.A pet in the family keeps people in __51__ with the more natural, animal world.Seeing an animal give birth brings understanding of the naturalness of childbirth, and seeing a pet __52__ helps a child to cope with sorrow.Learning to __53__ a pet helps a child to grow up into a loving adult who feels __54__ towards those dependent on them.Rightly we teach children to be good to their pets.They should learn, too, that pets are __55__for us human beings.
【语篇解读】 你喜欢饲养宠物吗?人们饲养宠物的原因你了解吗?本文会给你一个满意的解释。
36.A.known B.looked upon
C.treated D.kept
答案 D [从空后的“...and we all need companions to keep as feeling happy”可知, 作者认为人们是把宠物作为伴侣来养, 而不是把它看作伴侣。]
37.A.But B.However
C.So D.Otherwise
答案 A [从空后的“more than mere companionship”可知, 本句与上句为转折关系。]

Taking this volunteer trip to the Wildlife Sanctuary project was something I had wanted to do for several years.Unfortunately, I was busy with work.As 56.________ result, it was always something that I “might” do “eventually” rather than actually doing.Then, I decided it had to happen because it was of great 57.________ (important) to me.I made preparations, booked my trip, and slightly hesitantly headed off to the airport.

Having arrived home, I already miss my days that 63.________ (fill) with things related to South Africa.I find 64.________ (I) constantly looking back at photos.I look forward to 65.________ (take) another trip.
答案 56.a [考查冠词。as a result意为“结果……”。]
57.importance [考查词性转换。该空前great为形容词,故用important的名词形式。]
58.experiences [考查名词单复数。根据句意可知,该句中experience意为“经历”,为可数名词,又因为其前面没有冠词,故用其复数形式experiences。]
59.In [考查介词。in reality意为“事实上”。]
60.have had [考查动词的时态。该句的主句为一般现在时且从句的时间状语for years,故此处用所给词的现在完成时。]
61.who [考查定语从句。根据该句成分可知,该句是定语从句,先行词为anyone,故填关系代词who。]
62.beneficial [考查词性转换。此处用所给词的形容词作be后面的表语。]
63.were filled [考查时态和语态。分析该句成分可知,that指代前面的days,that与fill之间为动宾关系,又因为在非洲的日子为过去时,故填被动语态的过去式。]
64.myself [考查代词。该空在句中作宾语,且指代主语本身,故用反身代词。]
65.taking [考查非谓语动词。look forward to中的to为介词,所以用所给词的动名词形式作其宾语。]
