11、 immune(有免疫力的)systems!The research, headed by Audet, a PhD student at a university, examined the cognitive(认知的)abilities of city birds with those of their country cousins. The team did their study in Barbados because it needed a broad range of situations: from crowded modern cities to the countrysid

12、e. They began by catching some birds from various parts of the Caribbean Island. The birds were then given several tasks. Some tested their associative learning skills while others were to observe how creative they were at problem-solving. While country birds are also much braver, the city birds app

13、ear to be more careful when facing unfamiliar things.The results did not surprise the researchers. After all, birds living in cities and towns face many more challenges and dangers than those that live in the country. But as it turns out, the city birds prove to have better immunity and are therefor

14、e more resistant(有抵抗力的)to diseases than those living in the countryside. While additional studies need to be done to see if this is true for all city birds, there is no reason to believe that the results would be any different.Though this is the first time researchers have compared the cognitive abi

15、lities of birds living in different conditions, it is not the first study to examine the differences between city and country birds. Previous research has shown that blackbirds in cities are similarly more careful than country blackbirds, and that sparrows and blackbirds living in cities sing at a h

16、igher frequency to be heard over city noise and to make up for sound distortions(失真)caused by tall buildings.

Unlike other animals, the African elephant is to a great

21、 extent the builder of its environment. As a big plant-eater, it largely shapes the forests and savannas in which it lives, therefore setting the terms of existence for millions of other animals that live in its habitat.It is the elephants great desire for food that makes it a disturber of the envir

22、onment 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 underbrush, and pulls branches off big tree trunks. This results in numerous open spaces in both deep tropical forests and the woodlands that cover p

23、art of the African savannas. In the meantime, in these open spaces are numerous plants in various stages of growth that attract a variety of other plant-eaters.Take the rain forests for example. In their natural state, the spreading branches overhead shut out sunlight and prevent the growth of plant

24、s 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

25、scientists now is that the African elephant has become an endangered species. If the elephant is wiped out, scientists say, many other animals will also disappear from vast areas of forests and savannas, greatly changing and worsening the whole ecosystem. 5.What is the passage mainly about?A.Disappe

But many injuries and deaths from this kind of

29、natural disaster can be prevented if people follow these safety tips. If youre inside a building, stay there! One of the most dangerous things to do in an earthquake is to try to leave a building. 1 Drop to the ground. Get under an object that is not easily damaged. Hold on to it until the shaking s

34、l7.urban.1.under construction2.amount to3.ran away4.in my way5.die from6.figure out7.fit in with8.have taken place.1.greedy考查形容词。句意:他是个贪婪的人,他爱黄金胜过世界上的任何其他东西。man是名词,应用形容词修饰。故填greedy。2.thieves考查名词复数。句意:我的朋友乔治在卧室读书的时候,两个小偷爬进了他的厨房。由空前的two可知此处应用名词复数,thief的复数形式是thieves。易错分析本题易错填为thiefs,主要原因是对以f/fe结尾的可数名词变

35、复数的规则不清楚,该规则是把f/fe变为v,再加-es。可以借助以下口诀掌握这些变化的词:小偷(thief)和妻子(wife)头戴叶子(leaf),拿着小刀(knife)去杀狼(wolf),走了一半(half),碰倒了架子(shelf)。但要注意:roof(屋顶)和proof(证据)两个词虽以f结尾,但其复数形式是在词尾直接加-s,而不是加-es。3.container考查名词。句意:将少量粉末放入容器中,将它与水混合。冠词a后应用名词。故填container。4.estimation考查名词。句意:事实上,第一组人对这名男子的身高的估计完全正确。形容词性物主代词their后应用名词。故填es

36、timation。5.appreciation考查名词。句意:该课程旨在提高孩子们对音乐表演的欣赏能力。childrens是名词所有格,修饰名词。故填appreciation。.1.With all the work finished2.had no choice but to admit3.It is estimated that4.Only then did I5.It was;who/that.1.that考查主语从句。句意:好像野生动物正在占领我们的城市。“It seems that.”是固定句式,其中It是形式主语,that引导的主语从句作真正的主语。故填that。2.develop

37、ment考查词性转换。句意:我们大多数人会认为城市的发展和气候变化是使动物们离开了它们的自然栖息地的原因。由空前的形容词urban可以判断,此处应该填名词。3.animals考查名词复数。句意:无论动物们去哪里,它们都会发现城镇挡着它们的去路。根据前面的they和后面的find可以判断此处应用名词复数。故填animals。4.to move考查固定句型。句意:由于没有别的地方安家,它们别无选择,只能搬来和我们一起住。have no choice but to do.意为“别无选择,只能做”。故填to move。5.increasingly考查副词。句意:随着我们的城市变得更绿,它们为寻找新栖息

38、地的动物提供了越来越有吸引力的空地。设空处修饰空后的形容词appealing,应用副词。故填increasingly。6.looking考查非谓语动词。根据句子结构可知,此处应用非谓语动词作定语,修饰animals;look与其逻辑主语animals是主动关系。故填looking。7.their考查代词。句意:这些新来者常常在它们的新的城市生活中过得很滋润。lives是名词,应由形容词性物主代词修饰。故填their。8.with考查固定短语。句意:有些动物甚至改变了它们的生活习惯,以适应它们的新家。根据句意可知,此处表示“适应”,应用短语fit in with。故填with。9.a考查冠词。句

39、意:不管它们如何适应我们的城市生活方式,我们更好地理解甚至学会欣赏我们的野生邻居是重要的。have/get a better understanding of.意为“对有一个更好的理解”。故填a。10.to appreciate考查非谓语动词。在learn to do sth.结构中,动词不定式作宾语。故填to appreciate。能力提升练.A本文是一篇说明文。一项研究表明,与生活在乡村的鸟相比,生活在城市的鸟更能创造性地解决问题,具有更强的免疫力。1.C细节理解题。根据第一段中的birds living in cities.in the suburbs(生活在城市中的鸟不仅比那些在郊区的

40、鸟更擅长解决问题,在任务上更熟练)可知,在需要创造性和技能的事情方面,农村的鸟不如城市的鸟熟练。由第一段中的but also have stronger immune(有免疫力的)systems (它们也有更强的免疫系统)可知,A项“因为空气污染,城市的鸟的免疫系统更脆弱”与文意不符;由第二段最后一句While country.things. (尽管乡村的鸟也更勇敢,但是在面对不熟悉的事物时,城市的鸟显得更小心。)可知,B项“城市的鸟在面对不熟悉的事物或情况时更勇敢”也与文意不符;由第三段第二句After all.in the country. (毕竟,生活在城市中的鸟比那些生活在乡村的鸟面对

41、的挑战和危险更多。)可知D项“乡村的鸟为了生存有更广泛的挑战”不符合文意。故选C。2.B细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句While additional studies.any different. (虽然需要做额外的研究,看看这对于所有城市的鸟来说是否准确,但没有理由相信会有任何不同的结果。)可知,接下来的研究是要证明是否城市里的鸟都比乡村的鸟免疫力更强、抵抗疾病的能力更强。文章最后一句提及“如果鸟知道生活在人类中的好处,或许更多的鸟会迁到城市”的观点是以前研究的结论,且不是A项所说的“乡村的鸟可以被教会生活在城市的好处”;研究结果表明“城市的鸟免疫力更强”,所以C项“城市的鸟可能比乡村的鸟更

42、容易生病”不正确;D项“乡村的鸟在危险的情况下更小心”也与文意不符。故选B项。3.D细节理解题。根据最后一段中的sing at a higher frequency to be heard over city noise可知,城市里的鸟啼叫的频率更高才能压过城市噪音而被其他鸟听见。A项“城市对它们来说有更多的危险”、B项“城市的鸟彼此住得远”、C项“有更多的情况”均不是城市的鸟啼叫的频率更高的原因。故选D项。4.B主旨大意题。全文介绍了针对城市的鸟和乡村的鸟所做的研究,结果发现城市的鸟比乡村的鸟更能创造性地解决问题,且具有更强的免疫力。A项“对鸟类免疫系统和学习能力的研究”;C项“一位博士生所

43、做的事情使全世界惊讶”和D项“把乡村的鸟迁往城市的必要性和方法”都不是文章的主要内容。故选B项。B本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了非洲象的重要作用。5.C主旨大意题。本文主要介绍的是非洲象寻找食物的影响。A项“非洲象的消失”不符合文意;B项“作为非洲象栖息地的森林和热带草原”和D项“非洲象的饮食习惯”不是文章的主要内容。故选C。6.D词义猜测题。根据第一段内容可知,非洲象影响它们居住的环境的发展,也决定了其他动物的生存条件。A项“确定时间”,B项“使情况更糟糕”和C项“改善质量”都不符合文意。故选D。7.D细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“In the meantime, in these op

44、en spaces are numerous plants in various stages of growth that attract a variety of other plant-eaters.”可知,开放空间吸引了其他种类的食草动物。由第二段第二、三句“In its continuous search.the African savannas.”可知,开放空间出现的原因是非洲象觅食破坏树木和灌木,而不是A项“是由雨林的破坏造成的”;由第二段最后一句可知由于非洲象觅食造成的开放空间“吸引了很多其他食草动物”,所以B项“它们主要为非洲象提供食物”不正确;C项“它们是很多濒危动物的栖息

45、地”文章未提及。故选D。8.A推理判断题。本文主要是围绕非洲象的行为带来的具体影响以及这些影响的原因来展开叙述的。故选A项。.本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了地震发生时减少伤亡的方法。1.G根据空前“One of the most dangerous things to do in an earthquake is to try to leave a building.”可知,地震发生时最危险的事情之一是试图离开一栋建筑物,与G项“大多数的伤害发生在建筑物内的人试图出来的时候。”相符,故选G。2.B根据空后“Dont take shelter under a tree, streetlight

46、s or tall buildings.”可知,不要在树下、街灯下或高楼下避难,与B项“如果你在户外,就去开阔的空地。”相符,故选B。3.D根据空前“If you are driving, stop as quickly as possible and stay away from overpasses, buildings, bridges or anything else that might fall or collapse.”可知,如果你在开车,尽快停下来,而且要远离高架桥、建筑物、桥或者其他任何可能落下或坍塌的东西,与D项“不要把你的车停在树下或任何高的物体下面。”相符,故选D。4.C根据空前“Dont shout.”可知,不要大叫,与C项“大叫可能会让你吸入灰尘。”顺承,故选C。5.F根据空前“Be prepared for aftershocks.”可知,为余震做好准备,与F项“它们可能发生在地震后的前几个小时。”相符,故选F。
