B．Thedisappearanceofgoodland.C．Causingthelandqualitytogetworse. D．Makinglandsuitableforfarmingorbuilding.答案：D解析：詞義猜測題。根據(jù)文章第三段becauseofurban,industrialandagriculturallandexpansion及前后內(nèi)容可知，由于城市、工業(yè)和農(nóng)業(yè)用地的擴(kuò)張，可以猜測出landreclamation意為“土地開墾”，所以Makinglandsuitableforfarmingorbuilding.的表述符合該詞義。故選D。3．Manybirdsdieonthewayofmigrationmainlybecausethey________.A．a(chǎn)reharmedbyhumans B．a(chǎn)rekilledbyotheranimalsC．havetotakealongjourney D．havenosafeplacetorestandeat答案：D解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段中的Theproblem,accordingtoscientists,isthatmanyofthesesmallbirdsdiealongtheirmigrationpathsbecausetheydon'thaveasafeplacetofeedandrest.Thereisnoplacetorestore(恢復(fù))theirenergyforthenextpartoftheirjourney.可知，遷徙中死去的鳥主要是因為在遷徙途中沒有可供休息和進(jìn)食的安全地點。故選D。4．Accordingtotheresearchers,howcanweprotectthemigratingbirds?A．Bykeepingfewercatsordogs.B．Bystoppingtheurbandevelopment.C．Byhelpingchangethebirds'migrationpaths.D．Bypreservingthelocalecologicalenvironments.答案：D解析：推理判斷題。文章最后兩段是說，各國需要合作，為路過的鳥類提供安全的棲息地。各國可以做一些工作，把該國的城鎮(zhèn)區(qū)域變成鳥類安全的棲息地。結(jié)合最后所列舉的兩項舉措我們可推知，要保護(hù)好遷徙的鳥類，我們就要保護(hù)好地方生態(tài)環(huán)境。故選D。Ⅱ.七選五Smalltalkisagoodwaytomakefriends.Ifyoutraveltoothercountriesorhavefriendsfromabroad,doyouknowhowtousesmalltalktomakeconversation?InBritain,thebesttopicistheweather.Britishweatherischangingallthetime.__1__Besidesweather,it'sgoodtotalkaboutgardenswithEnglishpeople.Youcouldsay“Thoseroseslookreallybeautiful,don'tthey？”__2__Soit'salsonicetostartwith“Whatalovelydog!Whatisitsname？”InAmerica,peopleliketotalkaboutsportsnews,suchasAmericanfootballandbasketball.__3__Soyoumightsay“It'saniceshirt!Wheredidyougetit？”Weatherisasafetopicthere,too.__4__Don'taskpeople“Howoldareyou？”Neverask:“Howmuchmoneydoyoumake？”Itmakespeopleunfortable.Don'taskstrangerswhethertheyaremarried.__5__Thereareothersinourdailylife.A．Englishpeoplelovetheirpets.B．Americansalsotalkaboutclothes.C．Politicsorreligionisnotagoodtopic.D．Onlyafewtopicsarenotusedforsmalltalk.E．Therearealsoalotoftopicstoavoidduringsmalltalk.F．Youcanstartchattingbysaying“It'salovelydaytoday,isn'tit？”G．Friendsareimportanttousall,buthowtomakefriendsisaproblem.本文是一篇說明文，介紹了怎樣和外國人開啟一個聊天的話題。1．F解析：根據(jù)本空前的“InBritain,thebesttopicistheweather.”可知，在英國，天氣是最好的話題，故F項(你可以這樣開始聊天：“今天天氣真好，不是嗎？”)符合語境。2．A解析：根據(jù)本空后的“Soit'salsonicetostartwith‘Whatalovelydog!Whatisitsname？’”可知，以“多么可愛的狗狗啊！它叫什么？”開啟一段對話也很好，故A項(英國人喜歡他們的寵物)符合語境。3．B解析：根據(jù)本空后的“Soyoumightsay‘It'saniceshirt!Wheredidyougetit？’”可知，你也可以說“襯衫很不錯！你在哪里買的？”，故B項(美國人也談?wù)摲?符合語境。4．E解析：根據(jù)本空后的“Don'taskpeople‘Howoldareyou？’Neverask:‘Howmuchmoneydoyoumake？’”可知，不要問別人的年齡和薪水，故E項(在閑聊中也有很多話題要避免)符合語境。5．C解析：根據(jù)本空前的內(nèi)容可知，本段舉例說明聊天時要避免的話題，故C項(政治和宗教不是一個好的話題)符合語境。Ⅲ.讀后續(xù)寫閱讀下面材料，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語續(xù)寫兩段，使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。續(xù)寫的詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150左右。SaraSavickremembersonespecialEasterwhenshewasnineyearsold.Herparentsgaveherababyducklinginayellowbasket.“Momsaidlaterthatsheboughtthelittleduckbecauseshefeltsorryforit，”recalledSara.ThepeopleatthepetstorecoloredthefeatherspinkforEaster.SaranamedtheduckPinky.Sara'smotherreallydidn'tthinkthebabyduckwouldsurviveverylong.Buttohersurprise,Pinkygrewandgotstrongerandstronger.Soon,thelittleducklingwasahealthy,hungryduckwithwhitefeathers.“WefedPinkyoatmeal,cookedanduncooked,andsmallpiecesofvegetables，”saidSara.PinkylivedinsidethehousewithSaraandherfamily.ShespeciallyfanciedtakingbathswithSara.EveryonetreatedPinkyasafamilymember.Butjustwheneverythingappearedtobeperfect,thenightofthe“talk”came.Sara'smomanddadsatherdown,explainingthatthebestthingforPinkywastoliveanormalducklife,withotherducks.Itwasnotnaturalforduckstoliveindoorswithafamily,herfathertoldher.HeaddedPinkyneededtoswiminpondsanddoallthesamethingsthatducksinthewilddo.Sarastartedtocry,knowingwhatwasgoingtohappen.Sara'sparentsdecidedtotakePinkytoapark,whichwastwomilesaway.Therewasapondwithalotofotherducks.PinkywouldhavethechancetoliveanaturallifeandSaracouldstillvisither.Thebigdaycame,SaraandherparentsputPinkyinaboxanddrovetothepark.SarasaidthatPinkydidnotlookhappy;maybePinkywasconvincedthatshewasahuman,notaduck.答案Paragraph1：EveryonewassadwhentheyleftPinkyatthepond,evenSara'sfather.ButhetriedtoconvinceSarathatPinkywasfine.Walkingtowardsthecar,SaralookedoverhershoulderandsawPinkystandingalone.Theotherduckswereswimmingaroundincircles,lookingatPinky.ToSara,itseemedthat
