2、) itself invisible to its hunters. If that sounds like a “bird-brained” way to escape danger, youre right! Actually, the ostrich plays dead in this way. When this behavior _2_ (see) from a distance, the ostrichs head might not be visible, _3_ (give) the false impression that its head is buried.【答案】1

3、. to make 2. is seen 3. giving【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章说明了鸵鸟高9英尺，重约250磅，是世界上最大的鸟类，以及受惊的鸵鸟会把头埋进沙子里装死的习性。【1题详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：传说中，受惊的鸵鸟会把头埋进沙子里，这样猎人就看不见它了。分析句子结构可知make在句中为非谓语形式做状语，且此处表目的应用不定式。故填to make。【2题详解】考查动词时态语态。句意：当这种行为从远处看，鸵鸟的头可能是看不见的，给人一种它的头是埋着的错误印象。句中主语与谓语动词构成被动关系，且描述客观事实用一般现在时，主语为behavior，谓语动词用单数。故填is

4、seen。【3题详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：当这种行为从远处看，鸵鸟的头可能是看不见的，给人一种它的头是埋着的错误印象。分析句子结构可知give在句中为非谓语形式做状语，且表示自然而然的结果用现在分词。故填giving。B阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写 1个适当的单词，在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。I picked up the phone, slowly dialing the number to her house.

5、 about. Nothing!

What I didnt know was that the phone call _6_ (change) my attitude to life.【

6、答案】4. what 5. who/ that 6. would change/ was going to change【解析】【分析】这是一篇记叙文。主要记叙了作者给祖母打电话时的心理活动。【4题详解】考查连接词。句意：我满脑子想的都是我们能聊些什么。此处为表语从句，从句中缺少宾语，表示“什么”应用what引导。故填what。【5题详解】考查定语从句。句意：我认为我和那个比我大50岁的人没有任何共同之处。此处为定语从句修饰先行词person，且先行词在从句中做主语，指人，故用关系代词who或that。故填who/ that。【6题详解】考查动词时态。句意：我所不知道的是这个电话将会改变我对生

7、活的态度。此处可理解为表示从过去的某一时间来看将来要发生的动作或呈现的状态用过去将来时，故可填would change；也可理解为过去进行时表将来时，用be going to结构，主语为the phone call，谓语动词用单数。故填would change/ was going to change。【点睛】定语从句中的关系词选择，可考虑以下几点：1、看清楚先行词的意义，就是理清先行词是指人、指物、时间、地点、原因。指物时不能用who或whom，指人时通常不用which等等。2、看清楚关系词的句法功能，就是理清关系词是担任什么句子成分，是作主语还是宾语、是作定语还是状语等等。作定语通常用wh

8、ose，有时也用which。作状语要用when, where, why。3、看清楚定语从句的种类，就是理清是限制性定语从句还是非限制性定语从句。that、why通常不引导非限制性定语从句。 4、看清楚文体，就是理清是正式文体，还是非正式文体。是书面语体还是口语体。如第二小题，句意：我认为我和那个比我大50岁的人没有任何共同之处。此处为定语从句修饰先行词person，且先行词在从句中做主语，指人，故用关系代词who或that。故填who/ that。C阅读下列短文，根据短文内容填空。在未给提示词的空白处仅填写 1个适当的单词，在给出提示词的空白处用括号内所给词的正确形式填空。Ten years

9、ago, people bought electric vehicles (EVs) to reduce their carbon footprint. _7_ the limited range and high price made EVs something of a rare sight on roads. A lot can change in a decade.

10、grants (补贴) serve to draw buyers away from gasoline-powered cars. The change will have a huge impact _9_ life. Roads will become far _10_ (quiet) and pollution levels will be reduced quickly, potentially leading to improved quality of life.【答案】7. But/ Yet 8. mean 9. on 10. quieter【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要说

11、明了如今因为电池技术的进步和政府补贴的作用，电动汽车正变得常见，这种变化将对生活产生巨大的影响。道路将变得更加安静，污染水平将迅速降低，这可能会提高生活质量。【7题详解】考查连词。句意：但是/然而有限的范围和高昂的价格使电动车成为道路上罕见的景象。结合上下文语境可知为转折关系，故用连词but，或用连接副词yet。句首字母要大写。故填But/ Yet。【8题详解】考查动词时态。句意：电池技术的进步意味着现在电动汽车一次充电行驶的距离要远得多。此处描述客观事实用一般现在时，主语为advances，谓语动词用原形。故填mean。【9题详解】考查介词。句意：这种变化将对生活产生巨大的影响。根据短语ha

12、ve a huge impact on表示“对有巨大影响”。故填on。【10题详解】考查比较级。句意：道路将变得更加安静，污染水平将迅速降低，这可能会提高生活质量。结合句意表示“更加安静”应用形容词比较级形式quieter。故填quieter。二、完形填空(共10小题，每小题1分，共10分)Dash of HopeDash is a symbol which represents everyday weve spent alive on earth.

45、as music, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses.Science and technology do not tell us what is means to be human. The arts do.

Too often it is viewed as entertainment, but certainly not an education priority (优先) .(音乐很好，人们似乎说，但不是也很重要。它通常被视为仅仅是娱乐，但肯定不是教育的优先事项)”可知，学生们一般把“音乐”列为“娱乐”，而且

51、因为它来自美国的音乐传统。音乐表达了我们的性格和价值观。它赋予我们作为一个社会的身份)”可知，作者以爵士乐为例说明了音乐代表一个社会。故选B。【26题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段“Science can explain how the sunrises and sets. The arts explore the emotive (情感的) meaning of the same phenomenon.(科学可以解释日出和日落的方式。艺术探索同一现象的情感意义)”可知，艺术和科学从不同的角度看待世界。故选A。【27题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段“When students and parent
