a toad that got trapped in a cargo shipment from China to Cape Town，after jumping into a porcelain(瓷器) candle stick(烛台) that was made there.South African officials reportedly planned to put down the creature，fearing it would cause harm as an invasive species if it were let go in the wild.‎ But the toad got a lastminute pardon.Mango Airlines，a South African airline，transported the toad on Friday to Johannesburg for delivery to an animal shelter，after officials decided to find a way to let the toad live.The twohour fight was a breeze compared to the trip from China，a long way of many weeks and thousands of kilometers across the Indian Ocean.‎ Airline spokesman Hein Kaiser said the toad got “firstclass treatment”，sitting in a transparent plastic container with escort Brett Glasby，an animal welfare inspector.There was even a ceremony，in which the toad’s boarding pass was handed to Glasby.‎ ‎“He was the star of the show on the flight，” Kaiser said of the amphibious(两栖的) passenger.“I think every passenger stopped to have a look.”‎ On landing in Johannesburg，the toad was brought out of its container for a celebritystyle photo shoot.Observers said the brown toad seemed like a cool customer.It belongs to the Asian toad species，which breeds during the monsoon(季风) season.It is believed to have survived the trip from China by hardening its skin to prevent it from drying out，and also by slowing its breathing and heart rate—methods that help the species survive in times of drought.‎ ‎“We’ve had snakes in imported timber and scorpions(蝎子) in fruit.We were called because the toad was right inside the candle stick，and we had to break it to get it out，” Glasby，the inspector，told The Star，a South African newspaper.‎ 语篇解读　本文属于新闻报道。文章报道了一只中国的蟾蜍通过偶然的机会被运送到南非，在那里找到了一个新家。‎ ‎11．What is the passage mainly about?‎ A．An Asian toad gets a new home in South Africa.‎ B．Asian toads can’t get used to the life in South Africa.‎ C．Workers shipped a toad to South Africa on purpose.‎ D．South Africa ignores the protection of animals.‎ 答案　A 解析　主旨大意题。根据第三段第二句“Mango Airlines，a South African airline，transported the toad on Friday to Johannesburg for delivery to an animal shelter...”以及下文中对运送蟾蜍过程的描述可知，文章讲述的是关于一个亚洲的蟾蜍在南非找到一个新家的事。故选A。‎ ‎12．If the toad is released into the wild，________.‎ A．it will make the locals feel shocked B．it might harm the native species C．it will lose its life in the wild D．it might flee into another country 答案　B 解析　细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“South African officials reportedly planned to put down the creature，fearing it would cause harm as an invasive species if it were let go in the wild.”可知，如果这个蟾蜍被放到野外，它可能会伤害当地的自然物种。故选B。‎ ‎13．The toad was able to arrive in South Africa alive ________.‎ A．because it escaped all attacks and hunts B．because it used to stop its breath in winter C．because it formed hard skin to protect itself D．because it was lucky to be given a chance 答案　C 解析　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段最后一句“It is believed to have survived the trip from China by hardening its skin to prevent it from drying out...”可知，这个蟾蜍能活着到达南非是因为坚硬的皮肤保护了它。故选C。‎ ‎14．It can be inferred from the passage that ________.‎ A．sometimes animals are transported accidentally B．no one has seen such a big toad in Africa C．a candle stick is the best place for a toad D．droughts make toads live longer 答案　A 解析　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“We’ve had snakes in imported timber and scorpions(蝎子) in fruit.”可知，一些动物是偶然被运输的。故选A。‎ B ‎(2017·重庆一中摸底)‎ According to a survey，only 4% of the people in the world are lefthanded.Why？One theory centers on the two halves of the brain.For example，the left half and the right half，each of which functions differently.Medical science believes that the left half of the brain dominates over the right half.The foundation of this theory is the fact that nerves from the brain cross over at necklevel to the opposite side of the body，and nerves from the other side of the brain reciprocate(互换)．The end result is that the opposite sides of the body are controlled by the opposite sides of the brain.‎ The dominant left half of the brain，which kindly supplies the right half of the body，theoretically makes it more skillful in reading，writing，speaking，and working，and makes most people righthanded.Lefties，however，whose right half of the brain dominates，work best with the left side of their bodies.‎ Theory number two focuses on the asymmetrical nature of the body.Examples of the asymmetry，which flows from head to toe，are that the right side of our faces differs slightly from the left，that our legs differ in strength，or that our feet vary in size.One aspect of this asymmetry is that for most people the right hand is stronger than the left.‎ There is no doubt that all exist in a “righthanded society”，which produces most basics，including scissors，doorknobs，locks，screwdrivers，automobiles，buttons on clothing，and musical ‎ instruments for the 96%.Lefthanded people make up for the unfairness by being members of an elite(精英) society，which includes many of the greatest geniuses，including Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci.‎ ‎15．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?‎ A．Lefthanded people are better at speaking.‎ B．Lefthanded people are believed to have stronger left halves of the brains.‎ C．Righthanded people are cleverer than lefthanded people.‎ D．Righthanded people work best with the right side of their bodies.‎ 答案　D 解析　推理判断题。根据第二段第一句“The dominant left half of the brain，which kindly supplies the right half of the body，theoretiaclly makes it more skillful in reading，writing，speaking，and working，and makes most people righthanded.”可知用右手的人右半边身体工作的最好。故选D。‎ ‎16．Which of the words or phrases is closest in meaning to the word “asymmetrical”？‎ A．valuable B．not typical C．not balanced D．negative 答案　C 解析　词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“...the right side of our faces differs slightly from the left，that our legs differ in strength，or that our feet vary in size.One aspect of this asymmetry is that for most people the right hand is stronger than the left.”可知划线的意思是：不对称。故选C。‎ ‎17．What can be inferred from the passage?‎ A．Lefthanded people may feel inconvenient in this righthanded society.‎ B．This is an equal society for the lefthanded people.‎ C．Most great geniuses are lefthanded.‎ D．Lefthanded people are considered to be disabled.‎ 答案　A 解析　推理判断题。根据最后一段中“There is no doubt that all exist in a‘righthanded society’．..Lefthanded people make up for the unfairness by being members of an elite(精英) society...”可知使用左手的人在使用右手的社会里会感觉不方便。故选A。‎ Ⅲ.语法填空 ‎(2017·河北石家庄二中联考)‎ I’m writing to apply

School. Last Saturday, the class that I was on held a gettogether, which took us a long time prepare. It was indeed not easy to get in the touch with everybody and set a properly time for all of us. We all enjoyed this precious day greatly, talk about the people and things they were familiar with. It was a pity which some of us were not present as they had gone abroad for further education. Besides, they called back or sent greeting card from different places.‎ 答案　‎ It is five years now since I from High School.Last Saturday，the class that I was held a gettogether，which took us a long time prepare.It was indeed not easy to get in the touch with everybody and set a time for all of us.We all enjoyed this precious day greatly， about the people and things were familiar with.It was a pity some of us were not present as they had gone abroad for further education.，they called back or sent greeting from different places.‎ ‎28．答案　graduate→graduated 解析　考查动词的时态。句意为：自从我高中毕业，现在已经5年了。It is ＋时间段＋since引导的时间状语从句结构中，从句要使用一般过去时。故graduate应改为graduated。‎ ‎29．答案　on→in 解析　考查介词搭配。句意为：上周六，我所在的班级组织了一次聚会。在哪个班级使用 in。故on改为in。‎ ‎30．答案　time后加to 解析　考查不定式。take sb.some time to do sth.花费某人多少时间做某事。故time后加to。‎ ‎31．答案　删除the 解析　考查固定词组。get in touch with sb.与某人取得联系，故定冠词the多余。‎ ‎32．答案　properly→proper 解析　考查形容词。此处修饰名词time，形容词修饰名词，故properly应改为proper。‎ ‎33．答案　talk→talking 解析　考查非谓语动词。句意为：我们都很喜欢这宝贵的一天，谈论着我们熟悉的人和事。talk与主语we之间为逻辑上的主谓关系，表主动，故应使用现在分词作伴随状语。‎ ‎34．答案　they→we 解析　考查代词。根据上下文及句意可知，此处应指“我们熟悉的人和事”。故they改为we。‎ ‎35．答案　which→that 解析　考查连词。句意为：遗憾的是，我们中的一些人因为出国深造而没能出席我们的聚会。由句意及句子结构分析可知，it是形式主语，真正的主语是后面的从句，从句句子成分齐全，故应使用只起连接作用的连词that，which在引导从句时要充当一定的句子成分。故which应改为that。‎ ‎36．答案　Besides→However 解析　考查连词。根据前后句意可知，前后为转折关系，且连词与主句有逗号隔开，故应使用转折连词however。‎ ‎37．答案　card→cards 解析　考查名词。句意为：然而，他们从不同的地方打来电话或发来贺卡。card为可数名词，故此处应使用复数形式cards。‎
