17、起源。11.him句意:这让他很生气,所以他就把农夫告上了法庭。本题考查人称代词。谓语动词anger后缺少宾语,故用he的宾格形式him。12.if/whether句意:法官问农夫是否有测量工具。本题考查宾语从句。设空处表示“是否”,因此本空填if或者whether。13.brings句意:当烘焙师把面包带给我以后,我总是把面包放在我的称上,然后给他相同重量的黄油。本题考查动词的时态。设空处表示现在的习惯性动作,故用一般现在时,故填brings。14.in句意:它们经常成群结队地在一起,因为它们喜欢吃水果,有时会给农夫们带来麻烦。本题考查介词。in large groups表示“成群结队地”,
18、故填in。15.climbing它们有强壮的喙和爪子,这可以用来攀爬和抓住食物。本题考查非谓语动词。介词for后加v.-ing形式,因此填climbing。16.noisy句意:它们很吵,但它们是聪明的鸟,教它们说话很容易。本题考查词性转换。系动词后加形容词作表语来说明主语的特征,所以本空应用形容词noisy。17.and句意:它也叫纸鸢,因为它们是由纸做成的,而且它们飞起来的时候就像鹰一样。本题考查连词。设空处前后是完整的两句话,因此用并列连词and连接。18.were used句意:一开始风筝被用于军事用途。本题考查动词的时态和语态。时间点在过去,且kites与use之间为被动关系,因此填
19、were used。19.fastened句意:过去人们把竹子做的哨绑在风筝上。本题考查动词的时态。时间状语为In the past,应用一般过去时,故填fastened。20.produced句意:当它在风中飞的时候,它会发出像一种传统中国乐器古筝发出来的音乐一样的声音。本题考查非谓语动词作定语。动词produce和其逻辑主语music之间是被动关系,故用过去分词produced。第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，38分）第一节（共14小题；每小题2分，共28分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。AListed here are four of the thousa
