一、阅读理解
The African grey parrot's ability to talk and mimic sounds makes it a charming companion. African grey parrot owners often report that their grey parrots often talk in context and can understand their people's emotions. The African grey parrot is not just atop talker—this bird is also known for its extreme intelligence(智力), which gives it the name "The Einstein in the Bird World".
The bird is middle-sized, dusty-looking and almost pigeon-like. It has a bright red tail, intelligent orange eyes, and a stunning scalloped(扇形的) pattern on its feathers. Their diet in the wild consists mostly of nuts, seeds, fruits, and leafy matter.
At home, African grey parrots need plenty of toys that challenge their intelligence, such as food searching and puzzle toys. Nutri-Berries by Lafeber Company is a perfect choice, which, with a balance of grains(谷物), seeds and other nutrients(营养物) in the shape of a berry, encourages African grey parrots to bite and play, just as they do in the wild.
African grey parrots seem especially affected by stress and disturbing noise in their environment and can be put more at ease by placing one corner of the cage against a wall as opposed to in the middle of a room.
African grey parrots are more likely to suffer from lack of vitamin A/beta-carotene (β-胡萝卜素), and therefore benefit from eating vegetables high in beta-carotene, such as cooked sweet potato and fresh kale. Lack of vitamin D is another concern, especially for grey parrots on a poor diet. Offering a balanced, pill-shaped diet, such as Nutri-Berries, helps prevent vitamin and mineral shortage.
1、Why is the African grey parrot called "The Einstein in the Bird World"
A.Because of their brain size. B.On account of their cleverness.
C.Owing to their rich emotions. D.Due to their talking ability.
2、What can "Nutri-Berries" probably be
A.A brand of bird food. B.Puzzle toys for birds.
C.A type of round fruit. D.Good intelligence games.
3、What can we know about African grey parrots
A.They may get ill due to lack of vitamins.
B.They prefer to stay in the middle of a room.
C.They are dusty-looking with blue eyes.
D.They are smart and love to have fun.
4、Where can we most probably find the passage
A.In a wildlife magazine. B.In a history book.
C.In a travel guide. D.On a shopping website.
二、七选五
5、Urban Wildlife
Cities are diverse ecosystems. In addition to visitors, a large number of species share our urban areas. As our cities spread, we need to think about what it is like for other species to have human neighbors.
Cities are built for humans. ①_____ For example, most city parks are kept neat and tidy so that humans will find them beautiful. But when we cut grass or plants, we destroy natural habitats, which leads to the imbalance of ecology.
②_____ When a bridge in Austin, Texas was repaired, engineers added small gaps running the length of its bottom. This made a good home for bats, and soon the bridge was home to thousands of bats. ③_____ Now, they have come to value their winged neighbors. The bats become an attraction, and they eat lots of bugs every night.
There are also structures built with the aim of bringing wildlife into the city. The Olympic Forest Park in Beijing is a good example. The park used native plants, and created open and natural spaces for wildlife. The result is a zone in Beijing with over 160 species of birds. In many ways, the park is the opposite of a zoo. ④_____
If we learn to share our space, we can become better neighbors of the wildlife around us. ⑤_____ Our own future will be endangered too.
A.They are built to protect birds.
B.Our actions sometimes help other species.
C. If we do not, more species will become extinct.
D.They do not always provide suitable habitats for wildlife.
E.Instead of being kept in cages, wildlife can move more freely.
F.At first, people were afraid of the bats and tried to get rid of them.
G.They would sit on it and their droppings would fall into the water.

参考答案
1、答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句中的“this bird is also known for its extreme intelligence, which gives it the name ‘The Einstein in the Bird World’.”可知,非洲灰鹦鹉因其异乎寻常的智力而被称为“鸟界的爱因斯坦”。故选B。
2、答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Nutri-Berries by Lafeber Company is a perfect choice, which, with a balance of grains, seeds and other nutrients in the shape of a berry”可知,Lafeber公司生产的Nutri-Berries是一个完美的选择,它被制成浆果的形状,含有均衡搭配的谷物、种子和其他营养物质,由此判断出,Nutri-Berries 应该是一种鸟粮品牌。故选A。
3、答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句中的“this bird is also known for its extreme intelligence”可知,非洲灰鹦鹉非常聪明;根据第三段中的“Nutri-Berries by Lafeber Company...encourages African grey parrots to bite and play, just as they do in the wild.”可知,Lafeber公司生产的Nutri-Berries能让非洲灰鹦鹉像在野外一样咬和玩耍,这说明它们爱玩。综合两条线索来看本题选D。
4、答案：A
解析：推理判断题。本文从非洲灰鹦鹉的说话和模仿声音的能力、智力、外形、喜欢挑战自己的智力、喜欢玩乐、容易受压力和噪音影响以及容易缺少的营养物这些方面对其进行了详细的介绍,因此这篇文章最有可能出现在野生动物杂志上。故选A。
5、答案：DBFEC
解析：①细节句。空前说“Cities are built for humans.”,再结合后文“But when we cut grass or plants, we destroy natural habitats”可知,D选项“它们并不总是为野生动物提供合适的栖息地”符合逻辑,故选D。
②主旨句。由后面的“...engineers added small gaps running the length of its bottom. This made a good home for bats”可知,我们人类的行为有时是可以帮助到其他物种的,故选B。
③细节句。根据空后句的时间标志词Now可以判断设空处所填句子与后文内容存在时间上的对照关系,At first与后面的Now形成对比,故选F。
④细节句。空前句“In many ways, the park is the opposite of a zoo.”说明此处是要介绍这个公园与动物园的区别,空前句中的opposite与E项中的Instead of 形成意义上的呼应,E项是对前文的进一步说明,故选E。
⑤细节句。上文谈及人类与野生动物共享城市空间的好处,空后句所涉及内容与空前句意思相反,结合空后句的标志词too可知C项符合语境。
6、答案：1.D; 2.B; 3.C; 4.A; 5.C; 6.B; 7.A; 8.B; 9.D; 10.D; 11.C; 12.A; 13.D; 14.C; 15.D; 16.B; 17.B; 18.C; 19.A; 20.A
解析：这是一篇夹叙夹议类的文章。在现代，野生动物正在遭受巨大威胁，每天都有一些物种灭绝。白鹤就是其中之一。但是，有很多人正在竭尽全力保护这些物种免于灭绝。Chris和Tim通过努力，帮助一只名叫Emma的雌鹤繁殖了五只幼鹤。
1.根据第一句"Wildlife has been greatly threatened in the modern age"和最后一句提到的"…the species from going out of existence"可以推知,野生动物正在遭受巨大威胁,每天都有一些物种灭绝,即:"消失"。D选项正确。
2.前文提到每天都有物种消失,那么该句应指科学家们正在竭尽全力保护这些物种,使它们免于灭绝。故B选项正确。
3.上文最后一句提到科学家们竭尽全力保护濒临灭绝的物种,由此推知,该处应指Chris和Tim帮助濒危物种繁殖,增加它们的数量,这样它们才不至于灭绝。故该空应指"繁殖",C选项正确。
4.自从2004年,Emma一直由Chris和Tim照顾。该空和下一句中的"human caretaker"呼应。故选A。
5.根据空后的"human caretakers"可知,caretaker当然是照看Emma的。故该句应指:出生在一个国际鹤基地,Emma由人类抚养照看。故选C。
6.根据空后的though(尽管)可知,though前后的两个句子之间是转折关系。后面提到,她过得很开心。根据转折关系,那么前文应该表示"但是这导致了出乎意料的结果"。B选项正确。
7.根据下文中的"become deeply attached to humans…even …killing some of them"等内容可知,因为Emma一直由人类照看,所以它没有将自己看作是一只鹤,而是深深的依恋上了人类。故选A。
8.根据上文,Emma不把自己当作鹤,所以它"拒绝"和雄鹤生活在一起。B选项正确。
9.根据even(甚至)这个递进关系可知,Emma不仅拒绝和雄鹤生活在一起,而且因为弄死了几只雄鹤而"臭名昭著"。故D选项正确。
10.Emma拒绝和雄鹤生活,这当然使得她"不可能"生育小鹤,成为妈妈。D选项正确。
11.上文提到Emma拒绝和雄鹤生活,使得她不可能生育小鹤。下文提到两位动物园管理员不想看到这一物种的灭绝。由此推知,上下文之间是转折关系。C选项正确。
12.经过努力,Chris和Tim成功的将"人工繁殖"和"自然繁殖"结合在一起。A选项正确。
13.Chris和Tim成功的将"人工繁殖"和"自然繁殖"结合在一起,这使得Emma诞育了五只幼鹤。enable sb. to do sth.意为"使……能够做某事",D选项正确。
14.根据后文的 more efforts must be made可以推知,尽管两个人为自己的成就感到骄傲,但是他们还需要付出更多努力,因为野生鹤的数量在减少。所以他们还不能完全放心(白鹤不会灭绝)。故选C。assured意为"确定的,有把握的,自信的"。
15.根据because可知,前后句之间是因果关系,根据more efforts must be made可以推知,野生白鹤数量在减少,所以,还要付出更多的努力(来挽救白鹤灭绝)。故D选项正确。
16.前文提到:野生白鹤数量正在减少,很多其他物种似乎也在逐渐灭绝。该句提到,并不是所有的人都意识到野生动物有思想,感情,以及平等生存的权利。很明显,该句是对前文出现野生动物濒临灭绝原因的一种解释。故B选项正确。after all:毕竟(用于解释和说明理由)。
17.针对上文提到的很多物种灭绝这种现象,作者提出一个问题:我们如何来消除将人类和动物隔开的不断扩大的鸿沟呢 B选项正确。
18.前文提出一个问题:我们如何来消除将人类和动物隔开的不断扩大的鸿沟呢 Chris和Tim的做法给我们提供了一个答案。C选项正确。
19.根据下文中的"hold all the solutions"可以推断出,人类认为自己的"大脑"掌握着所有的解决办法。即:人类认为自己的大脑可以想出所有的解决办法。A选项正确。
20.根据转折词but可以推知,人类想当然的认为自己的"大脑"掌握着所有的解决办法。但或许他们可以用"心"更好地"引领"他们去保护这些濒危的动物。故A选项正确。
7、答案：is being interviewed
解析：考查现在进行时的被动语态及主谓一致。句意:吉姆此时此刻正在被记者采访。Jim和interview之间为被动关系,根据时间状语at the very moment以及句意可知应用现在进行时的被动语态。故填is being interviewed。
8、答案：awareness
解析：考查名词。设空处作raise 的宾语,且由前面的名词所有格people's可知此处应填名词awareness。句意:我们组织了各种各样的活动来提高人们环境保护的意识。
9、答案：to keep
解析：考查动词不定式。in an effort to do sth.意为“为了做某事”。故填to keep。句意:为了跟上其他人,Penny往往午饭时间也在工作。
10、答案：are being looked
解析：考查现在进行时的被动语态及主谓一致。句意:现在这些病人正在被护士照顾,我们希望他们尽快痊愈。patients和look after之间是被动关系,根据句意可知此处应用现在进行时的被动语态,且主语为复数,故填are being looked。
11、答案：is being built
解析：句意: 据报道, 灾区现在正在建许多新房。根据at present可知, 应用现在进行时, house与build之间为被动关系, 故用现在进行时的被动语态。many a修饰名词时, 谓语动词用单数形式。
12、答案：of
解析：考查介词。be aware of 意为“意识到;知道”。故填of。
13、答案：existence
解析：考查名词。come into existence意为“开始存在;形成”。故填existence。
14、答案：
A Week in the Wild
This winter holiday, I, together with 30 other students, went to Yunnan and took part in the Wildlife Protection Winter Camp held by WWF.
We spent one week in the wild learning about endangered animals from wildlife professionals. We observed how different species of monkeys adapted themselves to their natural habitats. What's more, to help protect them, various activities were organized, such as picking up plastics, removing nets and traps and putting up posters.
The camp deepened our understanding of the wildlife protection. Only when we learn to exist in harmony with nature can we enjoy a better future together.
