30、杀狼,然而后来国家通过法律保护狼,因此前后为转折关系。but也可表示转折,但but是连词,不用逗号分开。2解析:选B此空从前文 “because hunters were killing hundreds of them for sports” 得出。3解析:选D有的人捕杀狼是为了它们的皮。4解析:选A因为有法律保护狼,因此狼的数量增加了。5解析:选D从空后的“their own food _”看,本空应该填“毁灭”。6解析:选A狼太多了,它们破坏了自己的食物供应。7解析:选B下文中的 “People there also hunt deer .” 等一系列关于鹿的叙述为重要提示。8解析:选C
31、文章一直在探讨食物链的问题,上下文中几处有“food”这一重要线索。9解析:选B在此A有较大干扰性,作者说寒冷的冬季及食物的变化对鹿伤害极大,但还不至于死亡。下一句“当鹿找不到食物时,它们就会死亡”也能说明这一点。10解析:选D气候的寒冷和植物的变化。11解析:选C鹿找不到足够的食物便会死亡。12解析:选B如果狼继续杀死大量的鹿,鹿总有一天会灭绝,狼也会。13解析:选A从空后的 “some day” 看,作者在讲述未来的结果,联系空前的内容,鹿有一天会灭绝。14解析:选C基于上面的原因,我们应该改变这样的食物圈。15解析:选A在此B有较大干扰性,keep . from 意思是“阻止做某事”,而
32、save . from 意思是“从中把挽救出来”。16解析:选D从下文我们得知,如果狼得不到足够的鹿,它们就会去袭击鸡等,因此保护好鹿,也会使 some farm animals 得到保护。17解析:选Dhare 的意思是“野兔”,它不是农场的动物,因此B不合题意;在C、D两项中,cows是较容易捕杀的,因此D为最佳答案。18解析:选Cwant the United States government to do 符合句意。A、D两项显然不合题意,insist 构成的搭配为 insist on doing, 而不可以是 insist sb. to do sth. 。19解析:选A从空后的 “t
33、o study the problem” 可知答案。20解析:选B他们认为在有的地区捕杀狼而在数量少的地方保护狼是有必要的。.语篇解读:怎样才能查出野生大熊猫的准确数量呢?本文介绍了科学家们采用的一些科学方法。1解析:选D句意理解题。句子的意思是“比大熊猫数量更为重要的是如何保护它们及它们的栖息地”,这就是说大熊猫的数量很重要,但是在调查时要注意保护它们及它们的栖息地。2解析:选D细节理解题。在调查大熊猫的数量时,科学家们要“. note a bit of panda fur left on the bark of a tree, a panda paw print in the mud, o
34、r . panda droppings”,因为这些东西是调查大熊猫踪迹的重要线索。3解析:选B细节理解题。最后一段说到了未消化的竹子对于确定大熊猫的数量非常重要,因为上面还残留着大熊猫的咀嚼痕迹,而每一只大熊猫的咀嚼尺寸是不同的,有多少个不同的尺寸就大体上有多少只大熊猫。4解析:选A标题归纳题。全文内容都与调查大熊猫的数量有关:第一段讲的是调查的结果,第二段讲的是调查时要注意的事项,第三段讲的是调查的方法,最后一段讲的是调查的主要线索。语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。主要描述了新一代萌物瓦莱黑鼻羊显著的特征,萌态十足,跃然纸上。5解析:选B词义猜测题。由原句可知“dual-purpose”与后面的
35、“wool as well as meat”是对应的,dual有“双的,两部分”的含义,因此与B项近义。6解析:选C文章出处题。纵观全文,文中加入了太多的个人喜好、个人情感,特别是第一段和最后一段尤为明显,因此很可能出自个人博客。7解析:选D段落大意题。由最后一段的最后一句话“I do believe we need to see more of these incredibly pretty sheep!” 可以知道答案为D。8解析:选C细节理解题。由第一段可知A项说法太绝对化;瓦莱黑鼻羊是实际存在的,B项错误;由最后一段可知,在一些民俗等主题的纪录片里瓦莱黑鼻羊曾经露过面,并非是在庆祝传统节日时,所以D项错误;由第一段最后一句“I think they ought to be more well-known”以及本文最后一句可知C项是正确的。
