Cultural relics一、閱讀理解 A visit to Australia would not be plete without taking the chance to see some of these animals in their natural environment. Frilled Lizard The Frilled Lizard is found in the eastern and northern parts of Australia, living within the bush. The Frilled Lizards frill normally hangs around its neck, and is made out of a flap of skin. When threatened the Frilled Lizard will raise its frill making it seen more dangerous. Bandicoot There are several species of Bandicoot around Australia, and although occasionally they can be seen during the day, they are generally nocturnal. Bandicoots are small creatures only about the size of a rat and eat small insects and plants. Several of the Bandicoots around Australia include the Eastern Barred Bandicoot, which is now rare around Australia and the Southern Brown Bandicoot found in eastern and western parts of Australia. Koala Koalas are small bear­like creatures that live along the east coast of Australia, with their habitat amongst(在之中) the famous Eucalyptus trees. However, koalas only like to eat a small percentage of the Eucalyptus trees found aroundAustralia. Koalas have hard black noses, with sharp claws and a thick furry coat and can grow to a weight of about 10kg. Most of their time is spent asleep in the trees, which is the best place to see a koala. Dingo Dingoes are found in various areas across Australia, and unlike domestic dogs they do not bark. Instead,the Dingo makes a howling sound that is very particular. Dingoes generally eat mice, rabbits and rats, although sometimes they can also attack livestock when hungry.1.When in danger the Frilled Lizard will raise its frill to _.A.look more beautifulB.make

threatened the Frilled Lizard will raise its frill making it seen more dangerous.”可知,當(dāng)Frilled Lizard遇到危險(xiǎn)的時(shí)候會(huì)raise its frill其目的是為了嚇唬來犯的動(dòng)物。2.詞義理解題。根據(jù)原文對(duì)Bandicoot的描述“and although occasionally they can be seen during the day, they are generally nocturnal.”可知,盡管偶爾在白天可以看到它們,由此推斷出它們主要還是通常在夜晚活動(dòng),因此可知?jiǎng)澗€單詞的意思與B項(xiàng)的解釋最接近。3.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)原文“Most of their time is spent asleep in the trees, which is the best place to see a koala.”可知Koala通常在樹上睡覺。二、單句語法填空1(2017北京高考)The little problems _ we meet in our daily lives may be inspirations for great inventions.答案：that分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，空格處引導(dǎo)定語從句，先行詞是the little problems，且從句中缺少賓語，故用that。2(2017天津高考)My eldest son, _ work takes him all over the world, is in New York at the moment.答案：whose分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，此處缺少非限制性定語從句的引導(dǎo)詞，且與其后名詞存在所屬關(guān)系，故應(yīng)用whose。3Mr Reed _ (select) to represent us in the meeting has been sent to have a talk with them.答案：selected由句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，此處應(yīng)用非謂語動(dòng)詞作后置定語。select與其所修飾的Mr Reed之間為邏輯上的被動(dòng)關(guān)系，因此填selected。4It was clearly _(evidence) that the pany was in great difficulties.答案：evidentIt is/was evident that . 是常用句型，意為“很明顯”。5Perhaps the most difficult challenge is how _(survive) without friends in life.答案：to survive“疑問詞動(dòng)詞不定式”在本句中作表語，how to survive “怎么生存”。6I dont really fancy _ (do) business with him.答案：doingfancy doing . “想要做”。7He was severely criticized and _ (remove) from his post.答案：removedremove sb. from his post “開除某人”，此處是被動(dòng)語態(tài)，因此填removed。8It is said that the early European playing cards _ (design) for entertainment and education.答案：were designedbe designed for “為而設(shè)計(jì)”。9We _(face) the difficulty together, but why didnt you tell me?答案：could have faced由后一分句可知，前一分句謂語應(yīng)用could have done結(jié)構(gòu)，表示“過去我們本來可以共同面對(duì)困難”。10All the workers _(belong) to the factory must obey the rule.答案：belonging由句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，此處應(yīng)填belong的非謂語動(dòng)詞形式，workers與belong to之間為邏輯上的主謂關(guān)系。故用現(xiàn)在分詞belonging to作后置定語。belong to無被動(dòng)語態(tài)。三、完形填空It impressed me a lot.I never thought

One reason for this is biological.One important biological factor that helps women live longer is the difference in hormones between men and women. 2 Between the ages of about 12 and 50, women produce hormones that are involved in fertility(生育能力). These hormones also have a positive effect on the heart and blood flow. In fact, women are less likely to have high blood pressure or to die from heart attacks. 3 They help the body defend itself against some kinds of infections. This means that women generally ger sick less often and less seriously than men. The mon cold is a good example: women, on average, get fewer colds than men. 4 Scientists are still not exactly sure how influence aging, but they believe that they do. Some think that a womans body cells have a tendency(傾向) to age more slowly than a mans. Others think that a mans body cells have a tendency to age more quickly . 5 A.
