40、林园的相关情况。1答案与解析：C细节理解题。根据文章第四段中的“And in the young tiger areaplaying and fighting with each other in a pool nearby”可知，在幼虎区可以看到，活跃的幼虎在一个池子里玩耍，故选C项。2答案与解析：C推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“in pictures and samples as well as in words，which helps to complete what we know”可推知，展厅里老虎的资料详实、具体。故选C项。3答案与解析：D标题归纳题。根据全文的内容可知，文章主
41、要介绍了黑龙江东北虎林园的相关情况。故D项正确。B【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了皮埃尔德翁创办的旨在提高人们生态意识的杂志La Hulotte。4答案与解析：A词义猜测题。此处指该杂志在许多国家拥有超过15万的用户，并且其财务状况很好。句中“subscribers”指订阅者，即杂志的读者，故选A项。5答案与解析：D推理判断题。根据第二段中的“It upset me how the forests and swamps were beginning to be ruined.

45、有15头大象遭撞击致死。死亡发生在印度少数几个邦的事故高发区，那里，火车与大象栖息地相互交织”。这是在具体说“今年的”大象遭火车撞击致死的情况，故上文应该是对“总体上”这种不幸事件的总结。E项“在印度，1987年至2018年7月间，火车撞击已造成281头大象死亡”。3答案与解析：F这是一个半句考查题。设空处上文说“令人费解的是，为什么这种高智商的动物会在铁轨上等待”，故只有F项“可是它们可以感知到火车的活动情况”符合语境。特别注意本题的难点：when从句有时用于引出使句子的其他部分显得让人吃惊或不大可能的事实或评论，意思是“虽然，然而，可是”。4答案与解析：G设空处上句说“印度铁路公司在该国东
46、部几个事故多发地区将车速限制降至每小时18英里”，故只有G项能以转折的语气承接上文“但是火车司机经常破坏这项限速规定”。5答案与解析：B设空处段落前面都在说政府为保护大象所推出的一系列举措，故应选择B项“不过，自2月份以来，该地区仍有3头大象在火车事故中丧生”。特别注意still的语篇功能，其有时表示与上文的让步转折关系，意思为“尽管如此；然而；不过”。.语法填空【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了一个父亲为了让儿子有勇气，决定让一位僧侣来训练儿子拳击的故事。1答案与解析：who考查非限制性定语从句。句意：一位父亲担心他的儿子，他的儿子16岁了，但是完全没有勇气。分析句子可知，先行词为hi
47、s son，设空处在定语从句中作主语，指人，故填who。2答案与解析：be left考查虚拟语气。句意：我坚决要求应该让你的儿子单独留在这里。分析句子可知，主句的动词insist(坚决要求)后面的宾语从句要用虚拟语气should动词原形，其中的should可省略。从句的主语your son与动词leave(留下)二者之间是被动关系，因此要用被动语态，故填be left。3答案与解析：However考查副词。根据句意可知，前后两句是转折关系，故填However。4答案与解析：returned考查动词的时态。句意：三个月之后，男孩的父亲回来了。根据上下文可知，本文讲述的是过去的事，这里用一般过去时
48、，故填returned。5答案与解析：experienced考查形容词。句意：僧侣安排了一场这个男孩和一个有经验的拳击手之间的拳击比赛。experienced意为“有经验的，老练的”，在这里用形容词作定语修饰名词boxer，故填experienced。6答案与解析：but考查连词。此处指每次拳击手击中男孩，男孩都会倒下，但是男孩会立刻站起来。分析语境可知，前后内容之间是转折关系，故填but。7答案与解析：What考查特殊疑问句。此处指你认为你的孩子怎么样？what do you think of？为固定句型，意为“你觉得怎么样？”故填What。8答案与解析：easily考查副词。此处指我从没想过他会这么容易被击倒。修饰动词短语be knocked down要用副词，故填easily。9答案与解析：falls考查动词的时态。此处指难道你没看见他每次跌倒时都会站起来而不是哭吗？根据“Dont you see.”可知，此句是讲现在的情况，应用一般现在时，故填falls。10答案与解析：crying考查动名词。此处指难道你没看见他每次摔倒时都会站起来而不是哭吗？instead of意为“代替，而不是”，后接动名词，故填crying。
