只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 1 Unit 3 Under the sea A (2017·东北三省四市教研联合体模拟)Jack was born without eyes.He was very lucky as he grew up having other kittens (young cats)to socialize with，and was used to people from the moment he was born.However，when it came time to find the kittens homes，no one knew where Jack would end up. That's when I got an email from my friend.All she asked was “Do you still want one of the kittens？There's one here with no eyes and no one would like to take him.” Without thinking，I told her that I did want the kitten. When we first brought him home，Jack stayed mostly in my room.After about a day he had no issues running around and climbing on everything.At times he gets lost in the house，he'll stop.But we just call him and talk to him and it isn't long before he finds his way back to us. A few weeks after getting Jack，we got a new farm cat named Bear.Jack and Bear have become best friends.It doesn't matter that he can't see.He always knows when Bear is around.He'll run across the yard straight to Bear and wrap his front legs around his neck in a big hug.They run after each other around and wrestle.They'll lie down in the grass together when tired. Jack is truly an inspiration.I've owned lots of kittens in my life，but Jack is the happiest and most playful.He doesn't feel sorry for himself.He doesn't need pity.I think Jean，owner of Gumbo，another eyeless cat，said it is best when she told me that cats don't have disabilities，they have adaptability. 【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。杰克是一只生来就没有眼睛的猫，但他从不自怨自 怜，而是和其他的小猫一起玩闹，学会与人相处，过着快乐的生活。 1．Why did Jack come to our home?

The researchers identified 15 blue whales that have appeared off the coast of British Columbia and the Gulf of Alaska since 1997.Four of these whales were recognized as ones that were once sighted off California shores，suggesting that the whales are returning to an old migration pattern between the coasts. Before commercial whaling began in the early 1900s，blue whales were found widely throughout the North Pacific and California waters.But from the 1920s to the 1960s， whaling severely reduced the whale populations.Blue whales never recovered in the North Pacific，making sightings in this area rare.However，much larger groups of 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 3 whales have been observed close to California since the 1970s. The scientists had previously thought that the California population was separate from the population that had historically lived in the North Pacific waters.But the current study shows that whales off the coast of British Columbia and the Gulf of Alaska are likely part of the California population. To identify the blue whales，the researchers looked at photos of cetaceans taken in the North Pacific Ocean and compared them with a library of blue whale pictures taken along the west coast of the United States and Southern Pacific.Up to now， the researchers are not quite sure why the whales are changing their migration patterns，but they suspect that the whales may be following their food moving farther north by the changes in ocean conditions. 【语篇解读】 本文主要讲的是蓝鲸的迁移以及有可能引起迁移的原因。 5．According to the passage，blue whales are ． A．following a fixed route of migration B．dying out due to commercial whaling C．moving from the south to the north D．rarely found in the Southern Pacific C [推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句中的“the whales may be following their food moving farther north”可推出，蓝鲸正从南向北移动。故选 C。] 6．The whale population in the North Pacific ． A．is different from the California population B．is probably part of the California population C．has become the largest group since the 1970s D．has lived there since the 1960s B [细节理解题。根据第四段中的“But the current study shows that whales off the coast of British Columbia and the Gulf of Alaska are likely part of the California population.”可知，选 B。] 7．The underlined word “cetaceans” in Paragraph 5 probably means ． A．land creatures B．whale species C．ocean conditions D．migration patterns B [词义猜测题。根据第五段中的“To identify the blue whales，the researchers looked at photos of cetaceans taken in the North Pacific Ocean”可知，为了辨认蓝 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 4 鲸，研究者看在北太平洋拍摄的有关 cetaceans 的照片，所以 cetaceans 应该指的是鲸类。 故选 B。] 8．What might make blue whales migrate according to the researchers? A．Commercial whaling. B．Weather conditions. C．Life reproduction. D．Food resources. D [推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“but they suspect that the whales may be following their food moving farther north”可知，研究者怀疑蓝鲸有可能跟随着它们 的食物向北移动。故选 D。] Ⅱ.完形填空 (2017·江西省重点中学盟校高三模拟)Whenever my child caused me to change my schedule，I thought to myself，“We don't have time for this.” 1 ，the two words I most commonly spoke to my child were：“Hurry up.” But my promise to_ 2 was made almost three years ago，and I began my journey to grasp what 3 in life.My younger daughter is my living 4 of why I must keep trying.In fact，the other day，she reminded me once again.
