考点规范练30(Module 6)
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
It was an interesting conversation with Paul,my local greengrocer the other day when I noticed the bird feed in his store that has recently appeared.What made everyone feel the need to feed our wild birds?Bird feed has become a regular item on a shopping list as normal as a bag of potatoes.I didn’t just wonder this privately but I asked my reliable groceryman what was going on.Exactly how did the birds make do for so long before we started feeding them?Judging by the popularity of this current consumer pattern I wonder just how much the wild bird food industry is worth.It must be profitable to the local groceryman who replaced a whole row of food for human consumption to make room for it.He smiled at me as if he’d been waiting for these questions for a while and he seemed surprisingly ready for the conversation.
The fact is animals’ habitats are disappearing.We’re cutting and clearing trees to make way for fields for cattle and sheep,creating fields of nothing but bare land.We’re changing the entire ecosystem in the name of big mechanised agriculture and meat production that clogs(堵塞) your heart and eventually kills you along with the wildlife it killed first.Not to mention roads and industry which wipe out everything.“We’re living in a different world,”he said.“Don’t take me wrong.I mean it in the best possible way,but wildlife is a thing of the past.”I’d thought of this concept before but to hear it said out loud by a small shop owner in the west of Ireland jolted me slightly.An earth of the future where species became fewer?Skies,land,oceans empty of wildlife?People living in a sterile(荒瘠的) world?Is that really where we’re headed?
I’d only dropped in to pick up some bread.It was surprising that you could have such a conversation while getting something for breakfast.I told Paul we’d continue this discussion another day.“And a lovely day it is too,”he said.
【语篇导读】本文是议论文。作者和一位果蔬店的老板讨论了人们为什么买鸟食喂鸟,从而引出了人类对野生动物栖息地的破坏导致它们越来越少的话题。
1.Before Paul replied to the author’s questions,the author 　　　. 
A.thought Paul earned good money by selling bird feed
B.was uncertain about asking such private questions
C.knew Paul had answers
D.was ready to feed birds
答案:A
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段中的“It must be profitable to the local groceryman who replaced a whole row of food for human consumption to make room for it.”可知,作者认为卖鸟食利润很大,所以果蔬店的老板把一排食物都换成了鸟食。
2.The underlined word “jolted” in Paragraph 2 means 　　　. 
A.puzzled　　　　　　　　　　B.shocked
C.encouraged D.annoyed
答案:B
解析:词义猜测题。根据该词前的“a small shop owner in the west of Ireland”可推测,作者没想到爱尔兰西部的一位小果蔬店的老板能有这么深刻的认识,因此他感到有些“震惊”。
3.We can learn from Paragraph 2 that Paul 　　　. 
A.didn’t agree with the author
B.felt concerned about wildlife
C.didn’t know what he really wanted
D.opposed the development of society
答案:B
解析:推理判断题。根据第二段中的“animals’ habitats are disappearing.We’re cutting and clearing trees...creating fields of nothing but bare land.We’re changing the entire ecosystem...roads and industry which wipe out everything...but wildlife is a thing of the past”可以看出,Paul不赞成人类肆意破坏大自然的行为,他为野生动物的生存感到担忧。
4.What’s the best title for the text?
A.Wildlife,a thing of the past?
B.Paul,my reliable groceryman
C.Humans,what do we really need?
D.Bird feed,the new profitable industry
答案:A
解析:主旨大意题。通读全文可知,作者和果蔬店的老板Paul探讨了人类对野生动物栖息地的破坏导致它们越来越少的话题。A项不仅符合Paul在第二段中所说的“wildlife is a thing of the past”,而且问号也能引起人们对该问题的兴趣及重视,故最适合作为本文标题。

B
The largest land animal remaining on the earth,the African elephant,is of much importance to the African ecosystem.Unlike other animals,the African elephant is to a great extent the builder of its environment.As a giant plant-eater,it significantly shapes the forest-and-savanna surroundings in which it lives,therefore deciding the conditions of existence for millions of other animals that live in its habitat.
It is the elephant’s great desire for food that makes it both a disturber of the environment and an important builder of its habitat.In its continuous search for the 300 pounds of plants it must have every day,it kills small trees and bushes,as well as pulls branches off big trees.This results in numerous open spaces in not only deep tropical forests but also the woodlands that cover part of the African savannas.In these open spaces,there are numerous plants in various stages of growth,which attract a variety of other plant-eaters.
Take the rain forests for example.In their natural states,the spreading branches overhead shut out sunlight and prevent the growth of plants on the forest floor.By pulling down trees and eating plants,elephants create open spaces,allowing new plants to grow on the forest floor.In such situations,the forests become suitable for large-hoofed plant-eaters to move around and for small-sized plant-eaters to obtain their food as well.
Scientists are worried now that the African elephant has become an endangered species.If the elephant dies out,scientists say,many other animals will also disappear from vast areas of forests and savannas,greatly changing and worsening the whole ecosystem.
【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文,文章主要介绍了非洲象对非洲大草原生态系统的巨大影响。

Ⅱ.七选五
A small mammal lives in the rocky cliffs(峭壁) of Tian Shan,a mountain range in northwest China.But scientists don’t know much about this tiny creature known as the Ili pika.1.　　 
In fact,it had been more than 20 years since anyone had seen an Ili pika.But Li Weidong,who first discovered the animal,and a team of volunteers combed the mountains looking for the animals.2.
“They found it hiding behind a rock,and they realized they had found the pika,”Tatsuya Shin,a Chinese naturalist said.
Li was studying diseases in a mountainous region of northwest China when he first discovered the 8-inch mammal in 1983.3.　　　 In 1985,he found two more pikas.When researchers at the Chinese Academy of Sciences took a closer look at Li’s discovery,they confirmed that it was indeed a new species. 
In the early 1990s,scientists estimated(估计) that there were about 2,000 Ili pikas running across mountain cliffs in China.Now there are probably fewer than 1,000.Li thinks that the Ili pika population has decreased by nearly 70 percent since he saw the first one in 1983.
“This tiny species could be extinct anytime,”Li said.“4.　　　” 
Big changes to the Ili pika habitat are probably contributing to the pikas’ lower population.In addition,Ili pikas don’t reproduce often,and other animals are eating grass where they live.Changes in local temperatures have driven Ili pikas to higher elevations(海拔) in the mountains.
Li and others are encouraging wildlife groups to help protect this creature.Li searches full-time for Ili pikas.5.　　　 Li is also working to create a wildlife reserve to help protect Ili pikas. 
A.It became endangered soon.
B.They finally spotted one last summer.
C.Lots of animals were discovered in the mountains.
D.Li didn’t know what it was,and neither did the locals.
E.Only three dozen of them have ever been seen by people.
F.They don’t exist in the sites where they used to be anymore.
G.He continues to study the animals and tries to find ways to help them.

【语篇导读】怎样才能写出一篇好的文章,本文给了你几点建议。
1.seriously　解析:考查副词。根据语境可知句意为:许多作家没有严格对待自己。用副词修饰动词take。
2.observation　解析:考查名词。根据句中的并列成分practice可知此处也要用名词形式。
3.reading　解析:考查非谓语动词。stop doing sth意为“停止做某事”。
4.by　解析:考查介词。by意为“由……”,根据句意可知,此处应为这些书由语言大师所写。
es　解析:考查时态。主语是The value,是单数形式,故谓语动词也要用第三人称单数。
6.clearly　解析:考查副词。修饰动词convey要用副词形式。
7.are won　解析:考查时态和语态。这是讲的一般事实,且The hearts and minds of readers与win之间是被动关系,故要用一般现在时的被动语态。
8.a　解析:考查冠词。根据语境可知,此处应为a moment意为“一刻”。
9.Whatever　解析:考查连词。whatever引导让步状语从句,意为“无论什么……”。
