In fact,baby pandas sometimes behave like human babies.They sleep in the same positions and value their thumbs.Pandas are shy by nature for its shy behaviours such as covering its face with a paw or ducking its head when confronted by a stranger.‎ ‎◆Acathonorsitsowner Paper towels,and a plastic cup are just a few of the gifts that Toldo,a devoted three-year-old gray-and-white cat,has placed on his former owner Iozzelli Renzo’s grave every day since the man died in September 2011.Renzo adopted Toldo from a shelter when the cat was three months old,and the two formed an inseparable bond.After Renzo passed away,Toldo followed the coffin to the cemetery,and now “stands guard” at the grave for hours at a time.‎ ‎【语篇导读】本文介绍了四种习性与人类相似的动物。‎ ‎1.What can horses do to pick delicious grasses?‎ ‎　　　　　　　　　　　　　　‎ A.Feel them.‎ B.Taste them.‎ C.Smell them.‎ D.Observe them.‎ 答案C 8‎ 解析细节理解题。根据“Whenhorsesraisetheirnosesandopentheirnostrils,theirnervoussystemallowsthemtosensesmellswecan’tsense.”可知,马是通过嗅觉来挑选草的。‎ ‎2.What do the whale and the cat have in common according to the passage?‎ A.They are clever.‎ B.They have a grateful heart.‎ C.They are active and lovely.‎ D.They have a good sense of smell.‎ 答案B 解析推理判断题。根据第二部分的“inanhour-longdisplayofthanks,thewhaleswamneartheirboatandleapedintotheairabout40times.”和文章的最后一句“AfterRenzopassedaway,Toldofollowedthecoffintothecemetery,andnow‘standsguard’atthegraveforhoursatatime.”可知,它们都有感恩的心。‎ ‎3.Which of the following acts like a human baby according to the passage?‎ A.The whale.‎ B.The cat.‎ C.The horse.‎ D.The panda.‎ 答案D 解析细节理解题。根据第三部分的“Infact,babypandassometimesbehavelikehumanbabies.”可知,D项正确。‎ B 8‎ The words “protect animals” appear everywhere in books and on screens,because some animals are even in danger of dying out.But sometimes the reality can be a little different from what people read or watch.‎ About 300 black bears were killed in Florida,the US,in October,2015.It’s been the first bear hunt in the state since 1994.Local officers explained that the black bear population had grown to 3,500 and become a menace to local people.In the past two years,bears have hurt at least four people in Florida. ‎ Months ago,the Swiss government allowed locals to kill a wolf.This was because the wolf killed 38 sheep,and it was a great loss to some local farmers.Days ago in China,three old men were caught by the police for killing a serow (鬣羚),a kind of protected animal.They said they killed the animal because it ate the plants they grew.‎ However,these stories don’t always mean that animal protection stops because of human interests especially when it is related to economic development.A man named Zhou Weisen set up a wild animal base in Guilin,Guangxi.He saved over 170 tigers and about 300 bears.His base also offered jobs to local people.‎ ‎“There may never be a standard answer to the question of whether we should give more attention to the environment or human development,” said Robert May,a British expert at Oxford University.“But we shouldn’t push either one to the side,as the future is uncertain.”‎ ‎【语篇导读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了世界范围内,动物保护的现状。‎ ‎4.What does the underlined word “menace” in the second paragraph mean?‎ A.Threat.‎ 8‎ B.Chance.‎ C.Bargain.‎ D.Treasure.‎ 答案A 解析词义猜测题。根据第二段画线词后面的“Inthepasttwoyears,bearshavehurtatleastfourpeopleinFlorida.”可知,在过去的两年,佛罗里达至少有四人被熊所伤,黑熊的数量增长已对当地人构成威胁,所以A项正确。‎ ‎5.What does the author intend to tell us by mentioning Zhou Weisen’s story?‎ A.Protecting animals needs hard work.‎ B.Zhou was good at feeding wild animals.‎ C.Zhou had a good relationship with local people.‎ D.Protecting animals can bring economic development.‎ 答案D 解析推理判断题。根据第四段第一句“However,thesestoriesdon’talwaysmeanthatanimalprotectionstopsbecauseofhumaninterestsespeciallywhenitisrelatedtoeconomicdevelopment.”以及“Hisbasealsoofferedjobstolocalpeople.”可知,作者想通过周伟森的故事告诉我们,保护动物可以带来经济发展。‎ ‎6.Which of the following statements might Robert May agree with?‎ A.Human development should be considered first.‎ B.We should pay more attention to animal protection.‎ C.We should consider both the environment and human interests.‎ D.It’s difficult to find proper ways to solve environmental problems.‎ 答案C 8‎ 解析推理判断题。根据最后一段RobertMay说的话可知,他认为对于是更多地关注环境,还是更多地关注人类发展的问题来说,没有标准的答案,但是我们不应该偏重任何一方,因为未来是未知的。由此可知,RobertMay可能会同意环境与人类利益并重的观点。‎ Ⅴ.七选五 Some animals see differently than we do.Some animals,like bees,have cones(视锥细胞) for colours we can’t see.Some animals have developed a highly-advanced senses of smell or hearing abilities.　1　 ‎ The most interesting feature of night animals is the size of their eyes.　2　Some animals have tubular(管状的) eyes as a means of increasing their size.Many night animals cannot move their eyes within the orbit.　3　Owls,for example,can turn their neck through 270° and this aids their vision. ‎ ‎4 　It is the tapetum lucidum,meaning “bright carpet(明毯)”,an adaptation for night vision.The tapetum is a thick reflective membrane(膜),15 cells wide,directly beneath the retina.It collects and returns light back to the retina a second time,giving the rods a second chance to absorb the image information,thus making the little light more available to them.　5　 ‎ Although night animals see mostly imperfect shapes,outlines and no colours,by maximizing their sensitivity to low light levels with the above adaptations,it is enough for them to hunt,feed and survive in the dark of night.‎ A.Others see things clearly at night.‎ B.Their large eyes can collect more light.‎ C.Instead,they have special ability in the neck.‎ D.It allows the head and eyes to remain motionless.‎ E.Some animals of the night have got a spherical(球形的) lens.‎ F.As this light is reflected off the tapetum,they appear to glow.‎ 8‎ G.On a dark night,flash a bright light at your dog’s eyes and you notice that their eyes glow in the dark.‎ 答案与解析 ‎【语篇导读】本文主要介绍了夜间活动的一些动物的视觉情况。夜间活动的动物,眼睛大,能够收集更多的光线,使它们对黑暗中光的视觉最大化。‎ ‎1.A　根据上文的“Someanimals...”可知,此处是“Some....Others...”结构。A项符合该特征并可以引出下文的“nightanimals”。‎ ‎2.B　根据上文的“夜间动物最有趣的特点是眼睛的大小”可知,B项“它们的大眼睛能收集更多的光线”可承接上文。‎ ‎3.C　根据下文所举的猫头鹰的例子来看,此处应该是引出脖子的功能的句子,C项和上文形成转折关系并能引出下文。‎ ‎4.G　根据下文提到的“反光膜”可知,此处介绍的是夜间动物眼睛发光的原因,G项可引出该部分内容。‎ ‎5.F　所填的句子是对该段的总结,也就是夜间为什么动物的眼睛会发光。F项“由于光从反射膜上反射出来,所以眼睛看上去发光”可作本段的总结句。‎ 8‎
