【阅读】
1 The “Monster of Lake Tianchi” in the Changbai Mountains in Jilin province, northeast China, is back in news after several recent sightings. 在最近几次露面后， 中国东北吉林省长白山的“天池里的怪物”又成了新闻。
1）back in the news 意思是：再次成为新闻； 2）sighting 此处宜翻译成：目击，看到。
2 The director of a local tourist office, Meng Fanying, said the monster, which seemed to be black in colour, was ten meters from the edge of the lake during the most recent sighting. 据当地旅游办公室主任孟凡迎介绍，最近有人看见怪物就在离湖边 十米的地方，怪物的颜色似乎是黑色的。
1) seem 的意思是：似乎，好像。其后面的 to be 可以省略，又如： She seemed to be sad. 她似乎很悲伤。
seem 后面常接的结构还有：to do (do 多为静态动词)；to be doing 和 to have done. 如：
He seems to like you. 他似乎很喜欢你。
He seems to be sleeping. 他似乎正在睡觉。
He seemed to have arrived already. 他似乎早就到了。 以上三个句子都可以转化为 It seems/seemed that …从句，如：
It seems that he likes you.
It seems that he is sleeping.
It seemed that he had arrived already. 2) in 表示：在某一方面，如：
three meters in length 三米长
3 A third report came from Li Xiaohe, who was visiting the lake with his family. 又 一次报道来自李小和，当时他和家人正在湖边游玩。
a third report 翻译为（前面报导两次后）又一次，再一次，但因为并非在排序，所以不 使用 the third report。又如：
We’ll have to do it a second time. 我们得重新做一次。
4 He claims to have seen a round black creature moving quickly through the water. 他声称自己看见过圆形黑色的东西在湖面快速游过。
1）to have seen 表示 see 的动作发生在 claims 之前，此处是不定式的完成时态，又
如：
I am glad to have seen your mother. See 的动作发生在 am glad 之前。 He is said to have studied abroad. Study 的动作发生在 is said 之前。
2）see sb. doing sth. 强调看到某人正在做某事，是一个短暂的过程；而 see sb. do sth. 多指看到事情的全部，或经常看到。
5 They also think that there might be similar creatures in other lakes around the world. 他们还认为，在世界其它地方的湖泊中可能也有类似的怪物。
there might be 是一种推测的说法，但语气非常不肯定。might 此处并非是 may 的过去 式，它所表示的可能性比 may 要小一些。
He might come tonight, but he is not sure. (可能性不大) He may come tonight.(他可能来，可能性比上一句有所增加)
He must come tonight. （他一定会来，这个句子很多人会直接说: He is sure to come tonight.）
6 They say that the low-temperature lake is unlikely to be able to support such large living creatures. 他们说，温度低的湖中不可能存活如此大的生物。
unlikely 是 likely 的反义词，表示：不象……, 不可能……。常见的结构是：It is likely/ unlikely that… 其中，it 是形式主语，that 从句是主语从句。
又如：
It is unlikely that he knows the truth. (= He is unlikely to know the truth.)
It is likely that he came here yesterday. (= He is likely to have come yesterday.) probable, possible 等词也可以用在 It is possible/probable/likely that …的结构中，但 不能用在 be + adj.+ to do 的结构里面。
7 For a creature that doesn’t actually exist, that’s quite something. 对于一种实际上 并不存在的动物，这倒是相当不简单的事。
That’s quite something. 意思是：不一般，了不起。
It is quite something that a person can speak 5 languages.
一个人能讲五种语言，真是了不起。
8 However, across the border in Wales, the red dragon which appears on the Welsh flag is a positive symbol, indicating strength and a sense of national identity. 但是，在威尔士，出现在威尔士国旗上那条红色的龙，确实正面的象征，它代表 着力量和民族感。
indicating 是现在分词做定语的用法= which indicates …。
9 Some experts believe it is due to the animals the myths grew out of. 有些专家认 为那是由于产生神话的动物所引起的。
due to = because of 由于，因为（见单词解释）
情态动词＋have+过去分词用法小结
（1）“may(might)+have+过去分词”表示对过去发生行为的推测，把握性较小。一般只 用于肯定或否定句中（疑问句中用 can/could）其意为“想必”、“也许”、“可能已经”等意 思，其否定形式含有“可能不会”之意。如：
You might both have been caught and killed. 你们俩很有可能被抓住杀掉。
The children have arrived there by now. 孩子们现在可能已经到达那儿了。
He might have not settled the problem. 他可能尚未解决这个问题。
注意：这一句型用 may 和 might 含义基本相同，常可换用，只是 might 所表示的可能性 比 may 更加微弱，语气更加委婉。
（2）“must + have+过去分词”表示对过去或者已发生行为的肯定推测，只用于肯定句中, 意思是“一定”、“准是”。如：
The students are playing on the playground now. They must have finished their ho
mework. 学生们现在在操场上玩，他们准是完成了作业。
The street is wet; it must have rained. 街道是湿的，一定下雨了。 注意：若要表示否定，则用“can’t/couldn’t+ have+过去分词”,意思是“不可能”。如： The money can’t have been lost there.
钱不可能是在那儿丢的。
The light is still on: he couldn’t have gone to sleep. 还亮着灯，他不可能睡了。
（3）“can/could + have+过去分词”表示对过去发生行为的怀疑或不肯定，只用于否定句
和疑问句中。如：
There is no light in the room. Can he have gone out? 屋里没亮，他可能出去了吧？
They can’t have finished the work that soon. 他们不可能这么快就做完了。
（4）“should + have+过去分词”表示过去“该做而实际上没有做的事”，意思是“本应 该”，其否定形式表示“不应该发生却发生了的行为”，意思是“本不应该”。如：
You should have handed in your composition last week. 你本应该上周交作文的。
You shouldn’t have gone to see film last night. You are to take an examination in E nglish this afternoon.昨晚你本不该去看电影的，今天下午还要参加英语考试呢。 注意：1、“should + have+过去分词”还能表示“可能、揣测、推断”，常译成“可能已经、
该已”如：
Tom has done the work for three hours, so he should have finished it already. Tom 已经工作了 3 个小时，他该已做完了。 2、该结构还可表示“对过去的事感到意外而产生怀疑”，常译成“竟会、竟然”。如: There is no reason why she should have refused. 她竟然拒绝了，简直毫无道理。
It is surprising that he should have been so stupid. 他竟然蠢到如此地步，真令人吃惊。
（5）“ought to + have+过去分词”与“should + have+过去分词”同义，只是语气较强， 常含有“责备”、“不赞成”的口气。如：
We ought to have given you more help. 我们本应该给你更多的帮助。
She ought to have stopped her work half way. 她不应该把工作做了一半就停下来。
（6）“needn’t + have+过去分词”表示过去“本不必做而实际上已经做了的事”。如： We needn’t have waited him.
我们本不必等他的。
You needn’t have told him about it. 你没必要告诉他那件事。

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Millions of years ago there were many types of dinosaurs on earth. Most dinosaurs were plant eaters. The Apatosaurus, for example, had a long thin neck so that it could eat leaves from trees. Other dinosaurs were meat eaters. The Tyrannosaurus Rex killed smaller dinosaurs for food.
Dinosaurs were real animals that once lived on the earth, but they died out about 65 million years ago. The disappearance of the dinosaurs is in some way a
great mystery (谜).① Some scientists think that the climate changed suddenly.
Fossils (化石) of trees tell us that the temperature dropped a lot and that the level of the sea dropped as well. ② This means that it got suddenly much colder. Perhaps the dinosaurs were too slow to change with the climate.
A new idea is that a meteor (流星) crashed into the earth. Scientists discovered a place in Mexico where they think the meteor crashed. They think that there was a lot of dust from the meteor. The dust landed on the plants. Also the dust blocked (阻挡) the sun's light for as long as five years. Many animals, including dinosaurs, were plant-eaters, and perhaps the dust killed them. This means there was nothing left for meat-eating dinosaurs to eat, and so they died out. But, as many animals from that time didn’t die, we are not 100% sure what really happened.
根据文章内容，选择正确答案：
1. What is the subject discussed in the text?

2. What are the two possible explanations to the dinosaurs disappearance?
A. Temperature dropping and sea level dropping.
B. Climate changing and meteor's crashing.
C. The dropping of temperature and sea level.
D. Climate changing and the dust blocking the sun.
3. What is the direct cause of the disappearance of meat-eating dinosaurs?
A. A meteor's crashing.
B. The dust blocking the sun.

D. It is still unknown.
B
The elephant is the biggest four-legged animal in the world. It is also, perhaps, the gentlest (温顺的), but not always!
Elephants are like us in some ways. They live for a long time ― fifty or sixty years. They can remember things very well. They never forget great sadness or great happiness. If a female(雌性的)elephant dies, her daughters and her grand daughters are sad for many months. They stay with the dead body. Then they
carry a bit of it away with them. They never forget a dead friend.
Elephants are like us, but they are also different. They live in families of females. There will be a few young males ― a few “baby boys”. But the females will
soon send them away. An elephant family keeps only its daughters, mothers and
its great grandmothers.
The females stay together for fifty, sixty...a hundred years. The older animals look after the younger ones. The mothers teach their daughters and set a good example.①
And what happens to male(雄性的)elephants? Well, the young males stay with their mothers for a time. Then they must leave the family. The females just send them away. A male elephant does not often have a friend. He lives apart away from the family,② and often away from other male elephants. Sometimes the females call a male elephant. He can visit them then, and stay for a time. But soon his “wife” and sisters send him away again. The females have a very happy family life. What do the male elephants think about it? We don't know.
4. In the elephant family, there are _.
A. females and, sometimes, a few young males
B. parents who live together
C. only bulls with their male friends
D. parents and all their babies living happily
5. An adult male elephant often .
A. lives together with his “wife” B. lives by himself
C. has many female friends D. has many male friends
6. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. The Elephant B. The Four-legged Animal
C. The Female Elephant D. The Elephant’s Family C
Animals are natural resources that people have wasted all through our history. Animals have been killed for their fur and feathers, for food, for sport, and simply because they were in the way. Thousands of kinds of animals have disappeared from the world forever. Hundreds more are on the danger list today.
About 170 kinds in the United States alone are considered in danger.①
Why should people care? Because we need animals. And because once they are gone, there will never be any more.
Animals are more than just beautiful and interesting.② They are more than just a source of food. Every animal has its place in the balance of nature. Destroying one kind of animal can create many problems.
For example, when farmers killed large numbers of hawks (老鹰), the farmers
stores of corn and grain were destroyed by rats and mice. Why? Because hawks eat rats and mice. With no hawks to keep down their numbers, the rats and mice multiplied(繁殖)quickly.
Luckily, some people are working to help save the animals. Some groups raise
money to let people know about the problem. And they try to get the governments to pass laws protecting animals in danger.
Quite a few countries have passed laws. These laws forbid the killing of any animals or plants on the danger list. Slowly, the number of some animals in danger is growing.
7. Animals are important to us mainly because .
A. they give us a source of food
B. they are beautiful and lovely
C. they keep the balance of nature
D. they give us a lot of pleasure
8. What has happened to the animals on the earth?
A. Hundreds of kinds of animals have disappeared forever.
B. Many kinds of animals have died out.
C. About 170 kinds of animals have disappeared forever.
D. All kinds of animals are in danger.
9. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. People care much about animals because they need them.
B. Once a certain kind of animals is gone forever, there will never be any more.
C. Killing all rats and mice may cause some problems.
D. People must not kill any animals.
10. What can we infer from the fact that quite a few countries have passed laws protecting animals in danger?
A. Every person will know the importance of protecting wild animals.
B. Animals in danger will not be killed any more.
C. The number of some animals in danger will increase.
D. Animals in danger will be kept away from people.
