30、explain the wolves place in the environment and, primarily, to let people know wolves dont have to be universally feared they really dont hide secretly in the woods just waiting to eat people, but theyd rather avoid people, for the most part.分析：谓语动词is后面是由and连接的两个不定式短语作表语，第二个不定式短语中的“wolves dont have
31、to be universally feared”为省略了that的宾语从句，作及物动词know的宾语；破折号后面的内容对前面进行补充说明。译文：Casey和Shelley说，但是(这样做的)目的是解释狼在自然环境中的角色，主要是让人们知道不必普遍地害怕狼它们实际上不会秘密地藏在树林里等着吃人，相反，它们通常宁愿避开人。1D考查细节理解。根据第一段第二句中的“Unlike other centres, you can actually walk with the wolves”可知，在北光野狼中心游客能够和狼一起散步，故选D。2A考查推理判断。根据第二段第四、五句可知，尽管狼已完全适应了和人待
32、在一起，但是他们是野生动物；又根据本段最后两句“For that reason, Shelley and Casey explained, the walk is totally on the wolfs terms. We dont approach them, but if they come up to us, we can touch them.”可推知，和狼散步可能存在潜在的危险。【干扰项分析】根据第二段中的“However, these are wild animals”可推知，狼并没有完全丧失野性，因此B项错误；根据第二段中的“We dont approach them”可知，C
33、项错误；D项文中没有提及。3B考查细节理解。根据第三段最后一句中的“apparently she was saying hello in wolf talk”可知，Flora的举动显然是在用狼的说话方式表达问候，因此B项正确。4D考查推理判断。根据最后一段第二句“But the purpose . but theyd rather avoid people, for the most part”可推知，Casey和Shelley组织这个冒险旅行的目的是澄清一些关于狼的守旧观点。B体裁：说明文题材：环保主题：世界环境日【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了世界环境日的由来和情况，呼吁全员行
34、动起来帮助保护地球。【难句分析】Each year the United Nations pick a theme and a host city where anyone who is concerned about the environment can talk about environmental topics with others, followed by different kinds of exhibits to promote environmental awareness.分析：这是一个主从复合句，where引导一个定语从句修饰a host city，在这个定语从句中又有
35、一个who引导的定语从句，followed by是过去分词短语作伴随状语。译文：每年联合国都会选择一个主题和主办城市，在那里任何关心环境的人都可以与别人谈论环境话题，之后还有不同种类的展品展出以提高(人们的)环境意识。5B考查细节理解。从第一段中的“to inspire people around the globe to take an active part in environmental protection and learn more about ways we can help to guarantee the future of our planet is safe”可以看出，
36、世界环境日的目的是鼓励人们积极参与环境保护并学会很多方法来帮助确保地球将来的安全，故选B。6C考查细节理解。从第二段中的“where anyone who is concerned about the environment can talk about environmental topics with others”以及“Environmentalists, academics and scientists come together to bring new ideas on the table concerning the environment”可以看出，人们主要是在这一天讨论环境问
37、题。7D考查词义猜测。从第三段中的“Beat Plastic Pollution”可以看出，2018年的主题是“塑战速决”，再结合画线词前面的“It urges people to explore and choose supportable alternatives like paper or cloth bags”和后面的“which makes up 10% of all of the waste”可知，“disposable plastic”造成大量资源浪费，所以“一次性的”符合语境，故选D项。8A考查段落大意。根据最后一段的内容可知，世界环境日不是公共节日，所以人们不放假。但如果你想
38、庆祝的话，为何不让你周围的人关注它。所以最后一段主要是讲每个人都可以从身边小事做起，行动起来保护地球，每个人的微小努力都很重要，故选A项。Doing is better than saying“行胜于言”；Many hands make light work“众人拾柴火焰高”；Nothing is impossible to a willing heart“有志者事竟成”。.七选五体裁：说明文题材：自然与生活主题：融入自然的方法【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了让孩子融入自然的一些方法。1B根据下文中的“I dont know! Lets find out together. is a
39、wonderful way to get the ball rolling”，并与上文中的“Inspire curiosity”呼应可推知，此处表示鼓励孩子一起探索你自己也不知道答案的问题，从而引起好奇心，故选B项。2A根据空后一句“If you have to carpool(拼车)in the morning, turn off the devices instead and encourage your children to look out of the window”可推知，开车时关掉电子设备，多看看窗外也是一种与自然接触的方式，故选A项。3C承接上文“Time in nature
40、 is an essential investment in your childrens health and wellbeing.”和空后的“nurturing creativity . as parents”可推知，如果想要培养出健康、明智的孩子，培养他们的创造性和好奇心也是作为父母的责任，故选C项。4G根据上文“Observing the stars offers a deeper and wider understanding of the universe”可推知，和孩子一起观察星空能够加深对自然界的理解，与G项呼应，故选G项。5D承接上文“Plant a small garden
41、”，并与下文“Bean and pea plants grow quickly and can be eaten when mature, so teach your children about food and the wonder of growth”呼应可推知，此处作者建议父母开辟一个小菜园，帮孩子种点蔬菜，一起见证它们生长的奇迹，故选D项。.语法填空体裁：说明文题材：环境保护主题：应对海平面上升【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了美国佛罗里达州为应对海平面上升而做出的努力。1than考查介词。由与该句中的“more”呼应可知，此处表示比较的含义，故填介词than。2答案与解析：w
42、here考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处引导定语从句，修饰先行词one community in Florida，引导词在从句中作地点状语，故用where来引导该定语从句。3coastal考查形容词。修饰名词应用形容词，故用形容词coastal修饰名词cities，作定语。4ways考查名词的单复数。way是可数名词，且其前无限定词修饰，应用其复数形式，故填ways。5to ban考查非谓语动词。persuade sb. to do sth.“劝说某人做某事”为固定用法，故用不定式作宾语补足语。6gradually考查副词。修饰动词应用副词，故用副词gradually修饰其前的动词became，在句子中作状语。7colder考查形容词比较级。根据语境中的“or”可知，此处与“hotter”呼应，应用形容词比较级，故填colder。8living考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，句子主语the people和动词live构成逻辑上的主谓关系，故用现在分词短语作后置定语。9is考查时态和主谓一致。根据该句中的时间状语“At present”可知，此处应用一般现在时；又因为该句的主语为动名词短语coming up with ways，谓语动词应用单数形式，故填is。10the考查冠词。in the end意为“最终”，为固定搭配，故填定冠词the。
