(2020·石家庄高三一模)
Live at Leeds Festival, the United Kingdom
A weekend of indie music taking over Leeds for one day in May, Metronomy, Sundara Karma and Tom Grennan will headline, but there’s a focus on the city’s newer bands, with the festival aiming to bring new artists into the spotlight. Events take place across the city, with wristbands giving you access to all the places. And to go to this festival, you need to be over 14 years old.
19
Time: 4 May
Midnight Sun Film Festival, Finland
Almost a hundred miles north of the Arctic Circle, Sodankylä is where Finnish film director brothers Aki and Mika Kaurismäki rock up every summer for their Midnight Sun Film Festival, a fivedayandnight celebration of new cinema. A mix of silent films, contemporary Finnish ones, recent festival hits and boxoffice classics are screened around the clock.
Time: 12-16 June
Fuji Rock Festival, Japan
The first ever Fuji Rock Festival was held at the bottom of Mount Fuji back in 1997 and has brought in music and rock fans from all over the world. The 23rd Fuji Rock Festival is now held in the Naeba Ski Resort. The artists who perform aren’t all rockers. Your wristband has to be checked at the entrance. We offer facilities for children, but they can’t be left unaccompanied.
Time: 26-28 July
The White Nights Festival, St. Petersburg, Russia
The White Nights Festival is held at the city’s famous Mariinsky Theatre and shows some of the world’s best opera and ballet. It’s the best time to visit St. Petersburg because it’s held during the magical summer period when there’s almost 24 hours of sunlight a day.
Time: 11 May-31 July
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了四个艺术类节日,包括英国的Live at Leeds音乐节,芬兰的午夜太阳电影节,日本的富士摇滚音乐节以及俄罗斯的白色夜晚节。
1.Which festival lasts the longest time?
A.Live at Leeds Festival.
B.Midnight Sun Film Festival.
C.Fuji Rock Festival.
D.The White Nights Festival.
D 解析:细节理解题。根据题干关键词“lasts the longest time”定位至四个节日介绍的时间,由“Time: 4 May” “Time: 12-16 June” “Time: 26-28 July” “Time: 11 May-31 July”可知,持续时间最长的是俄罗斯圣彼得堡的白色夜晚节,从五月十一日持续到七月三十一日,故D项正确。

A.In Leeds, the United Kingdom.
19
B.In Sodankylä, Finland.
C.In the Naeba Ski Resort, Japan.
D.In St. Petersburg, Russia.
B 解析:细节理解题。根据Midnight Sun Film Festival, Finland部分中的“A mix of silent films...are screened around the clock.”,并结合该部分其他内容可知,在芬兰的Sodankylä这个地方你能享受一个24小时的电影活动,故B项正确。
3.What do Live at Leeds Festival and Fuji Rock Festival have in common?
A.They are of the same music style.
B.They focus on new artists.
C.They require entrance wristbands.
D.They have age limits.

(2020·武汉调研测试)
While elephants born without tusks(长牙) are not unheard of, they normally form just 2 to 6 percent of the population. However, that is not the case at Mozambique’s Gorongosa National Park, where an astonishing 33 percent of female elephants born after the country’s conflict ended in 1992 are tuskless. While that may appear to be just a coincidence, Joyce Poole, an elephant behavior expert, has another theory. The researcher thinks we may be witnessing unnatural evolution of the species due to the constant hunting of elephants for valuable ivories.
Poole says before the country’s 15yearlong conflict, the park was home to over 4,000 elephants. However, by the time the conflict ended in 1992, about 90 percent of them had been killed for ivories to get money. Of the less than 200 survivors, over 50 percent of adult females had no tusks. Therefore, it is not surprising that the park’s tuskless elephant population has grown greatly.
19
This is not the first time researchers have observed a great change in the population of elephants. At Zambia’s South Luangwa National Park and Lupande Game Management Area, areas which were heavily hunted in the 1970s and 1980s, 35% of elephants of 25 years old or older and 13% of those younger than 25 are now without tusks. A 2008 study published in the African Journal of Ecology found that the number of tuskless females at the Ruaha National Park in Tanzania went from 10.5 percent in 1969 to almost 40 percent in 1989, largely due to illegal hunting for ivories.
The recent ban on ivories in both the US and China should help get rid of, or at least reduce, elephant hunting. However, scientists are not sure how long it will take for elephants with a higher rate of tuskless females to change the__trend.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。在1992年,在莫桑比克的Gorongosa国家公园,有33%的雌象生来就没有长牙,大象行为专家认为,这是人们为了获得珍贵的象牙,而对大象进行持续不断的猎杀而造成的非自然的进化。
4.What is the probable cause of the phenomenon mentioned in Paragraph 1?
A.Illegal hunting. B.Constant farming.
C.A pure coincidence. D.Natural evolution.
A 解析:细节理解题。根据第一段尾句“The researcher thinks we may be witnessing unnatural evolution of the species due to the constant hunting of elephants for valuable ivories.”可知,这位研究人员认为,由于持续不断地猎杀大象以获取珍贵的象牙,我们可能正在目睹物种的非自然进化。据此可知,第一段中提到的现象的可能原因是非法猎杀,故A项正确。
5.Why did people kill so many elephants during the conflict in Mozambique?
A.To get money by selling ivories.
B.To develop new decorations.
C.To provide food for local people.
D.To make ivory products.
A 解析:细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“However, by the time the conflict ended in 1992, about 90 percent of them had been killed for ivories to get money.”可知,然而在1992年内战结束时,有大约90%的大象因象牙被猎杀,从而获得钱。据此可知,人们猎杀大象是为了通过销售象牙来获得钱,故A项正确。
6.Which of the following had the earliest record on tuskless elephants?
A.Gorongosa National Park.
B.South Luangwa National Park.
C.Ruaha National Park.
19
D.Lupande Game Management Area.
C 解析:细节理解题。根据第一段的第二句可知,在1992年内战结束时,莫桑比克的Gorongosa国家公园有33%的雌象生来无长牙;根据第三段尾句“A 2008 study published in the African Journal of Ecology found that the number of tuskless females at the Ruaha National Park in Tanzania went from 10.5 percent in 1969 to almost 40 percent in 1989, largely due to illegal hunting for ivories.”可知,Ruaha国家公园在1969年有10.5%的无长牙雌象,到1989年时,有大约40%的无长牙雌象;据此可知,Ruaha国家公园是最早记录无长牙雌象的地区,故C项正确。
7.What does the underlined phrase “the trend” in the last paragraph refer to?
A.Elephants facing greater danger.
B.Elephants growing more slowly.
C.Fewer female elephants staying alive.
D.More female elephants being tuskless.
D 解析:推理判断题。根据尾段第一句“The recent ban on ivories in both the US and China should help get rid of, or at least reduce, elephant hunting.”可知,最近美国和中国都颁布了象牙禁令,这应该有助于消除或至少减少对大象的猎杀;结合该段第二句“However, scientists are not sure how long it will take for elephants with a higher rate of tuskless females to change the__trend.”可知,科学家们并不确定对拥有较高比例无长牙雌象的大象们来说需要多长时间才能改变这种趋势。据此可推知,画线词指代“更多的雌象无长牙”这一趋势,故D项正确。

2.actually 解析:考查副词。此处在句中作状语,故用副词形式。
3.thankful 解析:考查形容词。根据空前的are可知,空处应用形容词作表语,故填thankful。
4.the 解析:考查冠词。in the next five years“在未来五年里”,为固定用法,故用定冠词the。
