ic,smallerstepstogetthere”可推知，本段主要讲的是设置的目标要现实，所以选B项。5．解析：选A　根据下文的“Findtherightsupporttocheeryouonintheprocess”可推知，不要一个人去做，最好能够找到适当的支持和帮助，所以选A项。Ⅲ.完形填空AfewdaysagoIsawtwobabyducklingsthatwerelostinthegrass.__1__，oneofthemwasfounddead,andIdecidedtotaketheotheronein__2__hegotbigenoughto__3__himself.WhenIdecidedtotakehimin,hewasactuallybeingfollowedbyastarving__4__，soitwasagoodthingthatIsavedhim.Atfirstheshowed__5__，butafterseveraldaysheseemed__6__worriedaboutmeasIfedhimsomecornwhichhecertainlyseemedto__7__.Aftersavingthelittleduck,Ispottedaplaceappropriateforhim,a__8__wherehemightcatchsmallfish.Iwas__9__himandfeedinghimeveryday,andrecentlyhewasdoingwell.I__10__thathewouldhavebeenkilledbyacatifIhadn’t__11__him.WhenIwasoriginally__12__takinghimin,Ihadotherstellmeto“letnaturetakeitscourse”.However,thisisanabsurdandcontradictory__13__.Whenhumanswanttodo__14__things,suchaskillinganimals__15__food,theywillappealtonature.Atthattime,intheirmind,theyarepartofnature.__16__，whenitcomestodoingsomethingconstructiveandhelpful,allofasuddenthey’renotpartofnatureandtheyshouldjust__17__backand“letnaturetakeitscourse”.Weshouldn’tpickand__18__whenwearepartofnaturesimplyto__19__ourownselfcentereddesires.Ifwearepartofnature,thenhelpinga(n)__20__inneedis“lettingnaturetakeitscourse”inthetrueandmostnobleway.语篇解读：作者在池塘边遇到两只迷路的小鸭，其中一只死掉之后，作者不顾别人的劝说把剩下的一只收养起来，并且把它照顾得很好。从这件事情中，作者感悟到帮助需要帮助的动物就是顺应自然。n1．A.Curiously　　　　　　B．UnfortunatelyC．AmazinglyD．Honestly解析：选B　前面提到在池塘边的草丛中有两只迷失的小鸭，后面提到其中一只小鸭死了，所以此处应该是“不幸的是(unfortunately)”。2．A.untilB．unlessC．ifD．although解析：选A　此处表示作者决定将收养另外一只小鸭，一直(until)等到它长大，自己能够照顾自己。3．A.cometoB．lookafterC．playwithD．keepto解析：选B　句意：我决定抚养这只鸭子，直到他长大能够照顾自己为止。lookafter“照顾，照料”，符合语境。4．A.duckB．gooseC．catD．dog解析：选C　当我决定收养他的时候，他实际上被一只猫盯上了，所以我收养它是做了一件好事。由下文“hewouldhavebeenkilledbyacatifIhadn’t________him”可知。5．A.fearB．pityC．respectD．sadness解析：选A　句意：刚开始的时候，它有点怕我，但几天之后，就不那么怕我了。6．A.nearlyB．lessC．extremelyD．slightly解析：选B　此处表示小鸭对作者态度的转变，刚开始有点怕，随着作者用粮食喂养它，小鸭对作者不太担心了。所以用比较级less。7．A.witnessB．cherishC．enjoyD．tease解析：选C　句意：我拿粮食喂它，看起来它当然很喜欢(enjoy)吃。由此句中的“fedhimsomecorn”“certainly”可知。8．A.treeB．bowlC．boxD．pond解析：选D　根据“wherehemaycatchsmallfish”可知，pond为最佳选项。9．A.callingforB．checkingonC．adaptingtoD．turningto解析：选B　句意：我每天都去看看它，并且给它喂点吃的，最近它状况良好。checkon意为“查对，核实，检查”。n10．A.claimedB．showedC．figuredD．proved解析：选C　句意：我认为(figure)如果不是我发现了它，它可能已经被猫叼走了。figure意为“认为，认定”。11．A.curedB．neglectedC．foundD．grasped解析：选C　根据上下文，选项found符合语境，如果那天我没发现它的话，它就会被猫吃掉。12．A.imaginingB．recommendingC．riskingD．considering解析：选D　当作者最初考虑(consider)要收养它的时候，有人告诉他“顺其自然”吧。13．A.argumentB．ideaC．desireD．announcement解析：选B　句意：然而，这是一个荒谬的、相互矛盾的理念。14．A.sensitiveB．fragileC．badD．contradictory解析：选C　由下文提到的“suchaskillinganimals”，以及与此处意义相反的“whenitcomestodoingsomethingconstructiveandhelpful”可知，此处表示“坏的，不好的”，所以用bad。15．A.forB．onC．withD．as解析：选A　句意：比如猎杀动物为了获取(for)食物。16．A.ThereforeB．BesidesC．OtherwiseD．However解析：选D　上文提到，搞破坏的时候，他们自称是大自然的一部分。此处表示转折，因为后面提到当他们做些建设性的、有益的事情时，他们就不再认为自己是大自然的一部分了。17．A.fightB．standC．getD．call解析：选B　句意：转眼间，我们就不再是大自然的一部分了，并且我们会避开锋芒，等待“顺其自然”的事情发生。standback意为“靠后站；避开”。18．A.chooseB．distinguishC．tellD．explain解析：选A　此处表明作者的态度。句意：我们不能挑选和选择(choose)什么时候我们是自然的一部分，仅仅是为了满足(satisfy)我们以自我为中心的欲望。n19．A.judgeB．resistC．expressD．satisfy解析：选D　参考上题解析。satisfyone’sdesires意为“满足某人的欲望”。20．A.animalB．personC．plantD．friend解析：选A　由上文提到的救助小鸭可知，作者做了与保护动物有关的事情。句意：如果我们是自然的一部分，那么，帮助一只需要帮助的动物，也就是在做“顺应自然”的事情，方式更加正确、更加高尚。Ⅳ.语法填空HowDollywasbornProfessorWilmut’sexperimentinvolvedthreeadultfemalesheep.Hefirst__1__(take)acellfromsheepA.Hethenimplanted(植入)thegeneticinformationinto__2__(it)nucleus(细胞核)withaneggcellfromsheepB,whosenucleushadbeenremoved.Tinyelectricshocks__3__(use)tostimulate(激发)thisnew“combination”eggcelltodivide.__4__(final),thenewembryowasimplantedintothebodyofsheepC,whereitdevelopedjustlikeanyothersheepembryo.In1996,hisdeterminationand__5__(patient)paidoff.Dollybecamethefirstsheeptobebornwithoutafatherandwasalsothefirstgenetically__6__(identity)copyofanadult.Astheeggcellgraduallysplits,itsmillions__7__offspringcellsspecializeintomusclecellsorskincells,forexample.__8__(mouse)andcattlehavenowalsobeenclonedfromanadult.Thesecloneshavealsobeencloned,producingthreegenerationsofhealthyclones.__9__wasthoughtthataspecializedcellcouldneverbecomeadifferentcell,withallthegeneticinstructions__10__(form)theentirecreature.语篇解读：本文讲述了克隆羊多莉的克隆过程。1．took　由involvedthreeadultfemalesheep可知，设空处描述的是过去发生的实验过程，应用一般过去时，且He和take之间是主动关系，故填took。2．its　设空处限定nucleus，且表示“它的”，故填its。3．wereused　electricshocks和use之间是被动关系，且设空处描述的是过去发生的事情，故填wereused。4．Finally　设空处修饰整个句子，意为“最终”，故填Finally。5．patience　设空处和determination并列作主语，表示“耐心”，故填patience。6．identical　设空处修饰名词copy，表示“完全相同的”，故填identical。7．of　millionsof意为“大量的”。n8．Mice　由andcattlehavenowalsobeencloned可知，设空处和复数名词cattle并列作主语，也应该是复数形式，故填Mice。9．It　设空处在句中作形式主语，真正的主语是thataspecializedcellcouldnever...theentirecreature，故填It。10．toform　instructions后跟不定式作定语，故填toform。Ⅴ.短文改错Lastmonth,I,togetherwithmyparents,wereinvitedtomyuncleintheUSA.Myuncle,whomovedAmericawhenIwasfive,hasbeenlivingtherefornearlytenyears.Hemeetsusattheairport.Iwasexcited
