的時候看不見電線，而如果它們寬大的翅膀同時搭在兩根電線上，它們就會被電死，因此選B。3．AccordingtoParagraph5,leadpoisoning________.A．makescondorstoonervoustoflyB．haslittleeffectoncondors'kidneysC．canhardlybegottenridoffromcondors'bloodD．makesitdifficultforcondorstoproducebabybirds答案與解析：D考查細節(jié)理解。第五段講述了鉛中毒對禿鷲的危害：影響禿鷲的神經(jīng)系統(tǒng)(A錯)，影響禿鷲繁衍后代的能力(D正確)，導(dǎo)致禿鷲腎衰竭(B錯)?？蒲腥藛T給禿鷲使用一種化學(xué)藥物，幫助它們排出了體內(nèi)的鉛(C錯)。因此選D。4．Thispassageshowsthat________.A．theaveragesurvivaltimeofcondorsissatisfactoryB．Rideout'sresearchinterestliesinelectricengineeringC．theeffortstoprotectcondorshavebroughtgoodresultsD．researchershavefoundthefinalanswerstotheproblem答案與解析：C考查主旨大意。本文介紹了美國加州禿鷲瀕臨滅絕的原因以及科研人員為挽救禿鷲而開展的研究工作。另外，文章的標(biāo)題也直接說明了本文的主題：保護禿鷲的工作正讓禿鷲以令人驚訝的速度恢復(fù)生機。因此選C。B(2022·安徽模擬)Bluewhalesarethelargestanimalseverknowntohaveexistedontheplanet,andtheycangrowtoalengthof100feetandweighmorethan330,000pounds.ButrecentlyresearchershavefoundthatthesewhalesareonthemoveandtheyhavemigratedfromCaliforniawaterstoareasoffCanadaandAlaskaforthefirsttimesincecommercialwhalingendedin1965.Theresearchersidentified15bluewhalesthathaveappearedoffthecoastofBritishColumbiaandtheGulfofAlaskasince1997.FourofthesewhaleswererecognizedasonesthatwereoncesightedoffCaliforniashores,suggestingthatthewhalesarereturningtoanoldmigrationpatternbetweenthecoasts.Beforecommercialwhalingbeganintheearly1900s,bluewhaleswerefoundwidelythroughouttheNorthPacificandCaliforniawaters.Butfromthe1920stothe1960s,whalingseverelyreducedthewhalepopulations.BluewhalesneverrecoveredintheNorthPacific,makingsightingsinthisarearare.However,muchlargergroupsofwhaleshavebeenobservedclosetoCaliforniasincethe1970s.ThescientistshadpreviouslythoughtthattheCaliforniapopulationwasseparatefromthepopulationthathadhistoricallylivedintheNorthPacificwaters.ButthecurrentstudyshowsthatwhalesoffthecoastofBritishColumbiaandtheGulfofAlaskaarelikelypartoftheCaliforniapopulation.Toidentifythebluewhales,theresearcherslookedatphotosofcetaceanstakenintheNorthPacificOceanandcomparedthemwithalibraryofbluewhalepicturestakenalongthewestcoastoftheUnitedStatesandSouthernPacific.Uptonow,theresearchersarenotquitesurewhythewhalesarechangingtheirmigrationpatterns,buttheysuspectthatthewhalesmaybefollowingtheirfoodmovingfarthernorthbythechangesinoceanconditions.語篇解讀本文主要講的是藍鯨的遷移以及有可能引起遷移的原因。5.Accordingtothepassage,bluewhalesare________.A.followingafixedrouteofmigrationB.dyingoutduetocommercialwhalingC.movingfromthesouthtothenorthD.rarelyfoundintheSouthernPacific答案與解析：C考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段最后一句中的“thewhalesmaybefollowingtheirfoodmovingfarthernorth〞可推出，藍鯨正從南向北移動。應(yīng)選C。6.ThewhalepopulationintheNorthPacific________.A.isdifferentfromtheCaliforniapopulationB.isprobablypartoftheCaliforniapopulationC.hasbecomethelargestgroupsincethe1970sD.haslivedtheresincethe1960s答案與解析：B考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段中的“ButthecurrentstudyshowsthatwhalesoffthecoastofBritishColumbiaandtheGulfofAlaskaarelikelypartoftheCaliforniapopulation〞可知，選B。7.Theunderlinedword“cetaceans〞inParagraph5probablymeans________.A.landcreaturesB.whalespeciesC.oceanconditionsD.migrationpatterns答案與解析：B考查詞義猜想。根據(jù)第五段中的“Toidentifythebluewhales，theresearcherslookedatphotosofcetaceanstakenintheNorthPacificOcean〞可知，為了識別藍鯨，研究者看在北太平洋拍的有關(guān)cetaceans的照片，所以cetaceans應(yīng)該指的是鯨類。應(yīng)選B。8.Whatmightmakebluewhalesmigrateaccordingtotheresearchers?A.Commercialwhaling.B.Weatherconditions.C.Lifereproduction.D.Foodresources.答案與解析：D考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“buttheysuspectthatthewhalesmaybefollowingtheirfoodmovingfarthernorth〞可知，研究者疑心藍鯨有可能跟隨著它們的食物向北移動。應(yīng)選D。二、完形填空Afterthebirthofmysecondchild,Igotajobatarestaurant.Havingworkedwithanexperienced__9__forafewdays,Iwas__10__towaittablesonmyown.Allwent__11__thatfirstweek.WhenSaturdaynightcame,Iwasluckily__12__thetablesnotfarfromthekitchen.__13__,Istillfeltitalittlehardtocarrytheheavytrays(托盤)．BeforeIknewit,the__14__wasfullofpeople.Imovedslowly,__15__everystep.Irememberhow__16__IwaswhenIsawthetraystandnearthetables;itlookeddifferentfromtheoneIwas__17__on.Ithadnicehandles(手柄),whichmadeit__18__tomovearound.Iwaspleasedwitheverythingandbeganto__19__Iwasnaturalatthisjob.Then,anoldmancametomeandsaid,“Excuseme,dear,mywifeandIloved__20__youwork.Itseemsyourtraystandhasbeenvery__21__toyou,butwearegettingreadyto__22__now,andmywifeneedsher__23__back.〞Atfirsthis__24__didnotgetacross.“Whatwashetalkingabout！〞Then,Igotit.Ihadsetmytraysonhiswife'sorthopedicwalker(助步器).Istoodfrozenasice,butmyfacewas__25__.Iwantedtogetintoaholeand__26__.Sincethen,IhavelearnedfrommanymistakessuchastheoneIjust__27__.Ihavelearnedtobemore__28__andnottobetoosureofmyself.語篇解讀本文描述了作者在飯店工作的一次經(jīng)歷，她深刻地感受到在任何時候都要小心仔細，不要太自信。9.A．managerB．a(chǎn)ssistantC．cookD．waitress答案與解析：D由第一句可知，她獲得在飯店的一份工作；同時從下文對她工作的描述可知，與她一同工作的這個人應(yīng)該是一位有經(jīng)驗的女效勞員(waitress)。10.A．promisedB．invitedC．a(chǎn)llowedD．a(chǎn)dvised答案與解析：C通過幾天的學(xué)習(xí)之后，我就“被允許〞單獨效勞了。promise意為“許諾〞；invite意為“邀請〞；allow意為“允許〞；advise意為“建議〞。11.A．wellB．quicklyC．safelyD．wrong答案與解析：A與下文她工作失誤相比照，第一周一切“順利〞。只有well符合此意。12.A．leftB．givenC．broughtD．shown答案與解析：Bbeleft意為“被留下〞；begiven意為“被給予〞；
