13、lect on exactly what that means.文章大意：除海豚、黑猩猩和大象这三种动物外，很少有动物能够通过在镜子中自我辨认的测试。但科学家们发现海洋中的一种小鱼能够通过在镜子中自我辨认的测试，这让科学家们很吃惊。1Why do the scientists feel surprised about the result?ABecause the fish has a big brain.BBecause the fish succeeded in passing the mirror test.CBecause chimpanzees are as clever as do
14、lphins.DBecause elephants failed to pass the mirror test.解析：B考查细节理解。根据第一段第二、三句可知，科学家们认为他们发现一种鱼能够在镜子中辨认自己，这种能力通常只有具有较大的大脑的动物才具备，所以科学家们感到吃惊，故选B项。2What did the scientists take notice of about the wrasses at first?AThey swam in unusual ways.BThey wanted to challenge themselves.CThey thought the mirror i

21、hallenge for the butterfly.Nothing has all been sorted out exactly.”While the decline is likely a combination of factors，the fact that water quality might contribute is alarming because the wetlands are the headwaters for the Midwests rivers and streams.A captive breeding (人工繁殖) program was started
22、four years ago at the Toledo Zoo to help get to the bottom of the mystery.Today Director Ryan Walsh who heads the program says its been the only successful captive breeding program.The caterpillars (毛毛虫) spent the winter in a special weather control room that helped determine the Mitchells satyrs do

24、专家经过研究发现，地下水的数量和质量似乎也是其数量减少的原因；研究人员于4年前开始了一个人工繁殖项目来探索其减少的原因，之后该项目培育出很多米切尔眼蝶虫卵，这样一来，米切尔眼蝶有望脱离濒危物种名单。5What are the indicators for the water quality?AThe habitats. BThe butterflies.CThe wetlands. DThe experts.解析：B考查细节理解。根据第二段第三句“Theyre very particular about.amazing indicators for our water quality.”可知，
25、米切尔眼蝶对自己居住的栖息地的种类很挑剔，这使得它们如此稀少并成为水质的指标，故选B项。6What is the main idea of the third paragraph?AThe importance of water quality.BActions taken to protect the butterflies.CThe reasons why the number of butterflies decline.DThe natural conditions for the butterflies.解析：C考查段落大意。根据第三段内容可知，最初人们认为湿地的丧失导致米切尔眼蝶的

41、间是主动关系，故用现在分词表示主动。故填thinking。3解析：was paid考查时态和语态。句意：我的薪水很高，我得到了很多自由，也得到了很多好处。根据后面的had，可知这里用一般过去时态。本句的主语是I，谓语动词是pay，主谓之间是被动关系，所以用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was paid。4解析：accustomed考查形容词。句意：我过得很舒服，习惯了安逸的生活。be accustomed to表示“习惯于”，此处填形容词做表语。故填accustomed。5解析：particularly考查副词。句意：这个月我压力特别大，超负荷的工作既无挑战性也无趣。此处用副词修饰形容词stres
42、sful。故填particularly。6解析：overloaded考查过去分词。句意：这个月我压力特别大，超负荷的工作既无挑战性也无趣。此处两句中无连词连接，所以overload是非谓语动词，overload和逻辑主语I之间是被动关系，故用过去分词表示被动，be overloaded with work表示工作过重，故填overloaded。7解析：reached考查时态。句意：我联系了我的老板，让他知道了我的想法。根据前文的Last year，可知这里在描述过去发生的事情，故用一般过去时。故填reached。8解析：decision考查名词。句意：我们就我个人的决定开了个会。空前是形容词personal，此处需要填名词，前文出现了my，所以是我的一个决定，需要用单数形式。故填decision。9解析：the考查冠词。句意：高级职员没有采用我建立的新系统。根据I built可知这里是特指我建立的系统，所以用定冠词the。故填the。10解析：from考查介词。句意：我从辞职的经历中学到了很多。learn sth. from表示“从学习”，是固定搭配。故填from。
