三、阅读单选

A

In many places the weather changes during the year. These changes are called seasons. In the north and south there are four seasons in a year. At the North and South Pole, there are only two seasons. In tropical（热带） places near the Earths equator（ 赤道）, there are two seasons a wet season and a dry season. Each season brings changes. They are important for plants and animals that live in different parts of the world.

Spring starts when the day and night are the same length. The weather gets warmer and sunnier. Trees and plants start to grow. Many animals have their babies in spring.

Summer begins on the longest day of the year.  In the north this is on June 21 or 22. Summer is usually the warmest and sunniest time of the year.  Fruit grows faster on trees and plants. Young animals grow bigger and stronger.

Autumn starts when the day and night are the same length again. During autumn, the leaves change color and fall down from the trees. Some animals collect food before winter comes.

Winter begins on the shortest day of the year. In the north this is on December 21 or 22.The weather is colder and in some places there is lots of snow. Plants and trees stop growing. Some animals, like bats and bears, find places to hide and sleep. This is called hibernation.

26．There are　   　seasons on Greenland（格陵兰岛） at the North pole.

30．　   　start when the day and night are the same length.

A．Spring and summer                        B．Summer and autumn

B

The word “day” has two meanings. When we talk about the number of days in a year, we are using “day” to mean 24 hours. But when we talk about day and night, we are using “day” to mean the time between sunrise and sunset. Since the earth looks like a ball, the sun can shine on only half of it at a time. Always one half of the earth is having day and the other half night. A place is moved from day into night and from night into day over and over by the spinning（旋转）of the earth. At the equator（赤道）day and night are sometimes the same length（长度）. They are each twelve hours long. The sun rises at 6 o’clock in the morning and sets at 6 o’clock in the evening. For six months, the North Pole is tilted（倾斜）toward the sun. In those months, the Northern Hemisphere（半球）gets more hours of sunlight than the Southern Hemisphere. Days are longer than nights. South of the equator nights are longer than days. For the other six months the North Pole is tilted away from the sun. Then the Southern Hemisphere gets more sunlight. Days are longer than nights. North of the equator nights are longer than days. Winter is the season of long nights. Summer is the season of long days.

31．When the Western Hemisphere is having day, the Eastern Hemisphere is having ________.

A．both day and night                                     B．day

C．neither day nor night                                 D．night

32．A place is moved from day into night and from night into day over and over by ________ of the earth.

A．the pushing            B．the pulling              C．the spinning            D．the passing

34．When the North Pole is tilted toward the sun, the Northern Hemisphere gets ________ sunlight.

A．less                        B．more                      C．all                         D．no

35．When it is winter in China, ________.

A．the USA is tilted toward the sun                  B．the South Pole is tilted away from the sun

C．the North Pole is tilted toward the sun       D．the North Pole is tilted away from the sun

C

A creature that can protect itself against enemies is more likely to stay alive and have babies. As a result of natural selection, some depend on strength and speed. Some become good at hiding. Others smell bad.

Have you heard that skunks(臭鼬) sometimes shoot smelly liquid onto unlucky humans and their pets? The liquid smells so bad that it can cause sickness and a burning feeling in the eyes. But don’t worry. A skunk only does so when it feels danger.

Besides skunks, some millipedes—creepy crawlers with hundreds of little legs—shoot a smelly liquid out of their bodies when they feel danger. Bombardier beetles(放屁虫) do the same thing too, and the smelly liquid they shoot can reach boiling temperatures.

There are simpler ways to keep an enemy away with bad smells, too. Vultures, which live on the dead bodies of animals, always shoot chunks of vomit when they feel danger. This makes them lighter, so they can fly away more quickly, but the smell of the partly digested(消化)food—which is pretty smelly even before the vulture eats it—is usually terrible enough to make anyone back off.

But not every bad smell you sense is to keep bad things away. Some are meant to attract attention. Hyenas(土狼) produce a smelly “butter” to communicate with their own kind. Male musk oxen(麝香牛) produce their famous musk which is very smelly to mark territory(领地).

36．A skunk shoots smelly liquid when it ________.

A．sees all humans and their pets                      B．meets with some smelly people

C．has a burning feeling in the eyes                  D．feels the risks

37．The underlined word “vomit” in Paragraph 4 means ________ in Chinese.

A．香味                      B．信号                      C．呕吐物                  D．喊叫声

38．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．Some animals smell bad because of natural selection.

B．A skunk also shoots smelly liquid when it wants to attract attention.

C．A vulture becomes lighter after it eats the dead bodies of animals.

D．The only purpose for animals to smell bad is to keep their enemies away.

39．________ kinds of animals are mentioned in this passage.

A．Four                      B．Five                       C．Six                        D．Seven

40．The best title of the passage is ________.

A．Bad Smell Things in the World                       B．How to Survive in the Wild

C．Why Some Animals Produce Bad Smells      D．The Result of Natural Selection

D

If you travel in some area in India, you’ll be lucky enough to be waited on by special guides―monkeys. Dressed in waistcoats, these monkeys are always ready to serve you. Hungry, you only need to point to your own stomach and they’ll lead you to the nearest restaurant. Thirsty, the monkeys will lead you to a bar. Tired, you put both of your hands behind your head and the monkeys will take you to the nearest hotel. Don’t feel puzzled when they put out their hairy hands to you after the service is done. They are just asking for a little money as a tip. After that, they wave their hands as if they are saying goodbye to you.

Believe it or not, the little guides are from the school for monkeys in India, where they were trained for one year to get their “diplomas”（文凭）. They are not the only monkey students in the world. Some are being trained as nurses in an American medical college. These monkeys are about to look after patients and help them with housework after school.

A three-year-old monkey named Helen has learned to turn on and off the lights, play a recorder and open doors and windows when he is told to. In Malaysia where coconut trees reach high up to the sky, monkeys would climb to the top and pick the coconuts as ordered. Once the job is done, they would rush to their master, hoping to get some wild fruits as a reward.

41．If you want to have a rest, what should you do to the monkeys?

A．Point to your own stomach.                        B．Put both of your hands behind your head.

C．Close your eyes.                                             D．Shake your head.

42．What does “tip” mean?

A．尖端                      B．提示                      C．指点                      D．小费

43．How long was a monkey trained to get their “diplomas”?

A．One year.               B．Two years.              C．Three years.            D．We don’t know.

44．Helen can do these things except ________in the passage?

A．turn off the light                                        B．play a recorder

C．open doors                                                  D．pick the coconuts

45．What is the passage about?

A．A monkey named Helen                             B．Working monkeys.

C．How to train a monkey for work               D．Some tips about travelling in India

参考答案

一、单项选择

1、D

【详解】

句意：和爸爸一起钓鱼对小Sam来说是如此无聊以至于他几乎睡着了。

考查形容词辨析。根据题干可知，本题考查-ing和-ed 形容词。-ing形容词修饰物和事，-ed形容词修饰人。本句的主语是Fishing with Dad，指的是一件事，所以要用-ing形容词，排除A、C选项；再根据后半句he almost fell asleep，可知钓鱼这件事对小Sam来说不是令人兴奋的，而是令人无聊的，所以他几乎睡着了，因此用boring，排除B选项；故选D。

2、D

【详解】

句意：虽然旅途很累，杰夫认为时间和金钱都值得。

As当……的时候；B. Since 自从；C. Unless除非；D. Although尽管。根据下文Jeff thought it was worth both the time and the money.可知上文是让步状语从句，这里用Although引导。根据题意，故选D。
