antelopes之间是动宾关系,故用被动语态;结合上下文内容可知,此处讲述的是一般事实,故用一般现在时的被动语态,主语是复数,故填arelisted。6.less 考查形容词比较级。此处应填形容词作为表语,根据than判断,此处用比较级,故填less。7.the 考查冠词。此处是固定短语onthedecline“在减少”,故填the。8.Thankfully 考查副词。此处应填副词修饰后面的整个句子,故填Thankfully。9.from 考查介词。此处是固定短语prohibit...from...“禁止……做某事”,故填from。10.are 考查时态。分析句子成分可知,此处是宾语从句的谓语动词,根据now判断,为一般现在时,主语是复数,故填are。Ⅱ.根据提示补全句子1.将近一天之后,他才意识到他的错误并向他的朋友彼得道歉。(before)Itwasnearlyadaybefore_he_realised_his_mistakesandapologisedtohisfriend,Peter.2.只有在那时,我才意识到与所有的朋友脱离关系,从不与他们联系是多么傻。(only引起的倒装句)Only_then_did_I_realise_thatitwasfoolishofmetobreakawayfromallofmyfriendsandnevercontactthem.3.做完所有的工作后,我们竖起了布告牌提醒人们保护这些树木。(remind)①Aftergettingtheworkdone,weputupaboardreminding_people_to_protect_the_trees.(现在分词短语作定语)②Aftergettingtheworkdone,weputupaboardwhich/that_reminds_people_to_protect_the_trees.(定语从句)4.我对此感到很遗憾,开始想着做些什么来帮助(他们)。(现在分词短语作状语)Feeling_quite_sorry_for_that,_Ibegintothinkaboutwhattodotohelp.5.众所周知,吸烟对健康有害。很多人由于吸烟死于肺癌、心脏病。(dueto)Itiswellknownthatsmokingdoesharmtohealth.Alotofpeopledie_of_lung_cancer_and_heart_disease_due_to_smoking.B组·能力提升Ⅰ.阅读理解AThekakapo,abirdthatlivesinNewZealand,isnotdesignedforsurvival.Weighingupto4kilograms,itistheworld'sfattestparrot.Itmates(交配)onlywhentherimutreeisinfruit,whichhappenseveryfewyears.Itdevelopedgraduallyintheabsenceoflandbasednaturalenemies,soinsteadofflyingabovethetreesitwalkslikeaduckacrossthedryforestfloor.Whenitmovesunsteadilyacrosssomethingthatmightkillit,itwillstandstill.Suchunusualcharacteristicsturneditintofastfoodforhumansettlers,andforthecatsandratstheybroughtwiththem.Itseemedtohavedisappearedbythe1970s,untilscientistscameacrosstwoundiscoveredpopulationsinthecountry'ssouth.Thesesurvivorswereeventuallymovedtosmall

2.D 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Thescientists'patienceisfinallyrewarded.Therimuwasinfruitthisyear,andmorethan80chickshatched,makingthisthebestbreedingseason,onrecord.”可知,科学家们的耐心得到了回报,今年有80多只雏鸟破壳而出。故选D。3.A 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Anotherdangertothekakapoisalackofgeneticdiversity.Thisisonereasonwhyfewerthanhalfofkakapoeggshatch.Byarrangingthegenome(基因组)ofeverylivingbird,scientistscanidentifycloselyrelatedindividualsandputthemondifferentislands.”可知,科学家们把鸮鹦鹉放在不同的岛屿上,是为了阻止近亲鸮鹦鹉交配。故选A。4.B 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Yetthekakapo'sfuturestilllooksunsafe.Earlierthisyearaseverediseasetorethroughthepopulation.Andtinyasthenumberofkakaposis,spaceisrunningoutonthetwoislandswheremostofthemlive.”可推知,作者认为保护新西兰鸮鹦鹉的努力是不够的。故选B。BAwalkthroughthegalleriesofQuebec'sMontrealMuseumofFineArts(MMFA)placesindividualsfacetofacewithsome43,000artworksrangingfromChineseceramicstoInuitsculpture.Whilethevisitingisanincredibleculturalexperience,agroupoflocalphysicianswillsoonbeabletoprescribe(开处方)museumvisitsastreatmentforsomeillnesses.“Weknowthatartcontributestoneural(神经的)activity,”saidMMFAdirectorNathalieBondil.“Whatweseeisthatbeingincontactwithartcanreallyhelpyourwellbeing.”HélèneBoyer,vicepresidentofaMontrealbasedmedicalassociation,explainsthatmuseumvisitshavebeenshowntoincreaselevelsofserotonin,aneurotransmitter(神经递质)knownasthe“happychemical”whichhelpstoliftthemood.AccordingtoBoyer,thesmallincreaseinhormonesassociatedwithenjoyinganafternoonofartissimilartothatofferedbyexercise,makingmuseumprescriptionsidealfortheelderlyexperiencingpainthatpreventsthemfromregularlyjoininginphysicalactivity.Themuseumvisitsaredesignedtoimprovetraditionalmethods.AsBondilnotes,spendingtimeinapeacefulenvironmentcanprovideawelcomedistraction.“Whatismostimportantisthisexperiencecanhelpthemescapefromtheirownpain,”shesays.“Whenyouenterthemuseum,youescapefromthespeedofourdailylife.”“Iamconvincedthatinthe21stcentury,culturewillbewhatphysicalactivitywasforhealthinthe20thcentury,”saidBondil.“Somepeoplewoulddowelltorecallthatjustinthe19thcentury,sportswerebelievedtodoharmtothebody.Justasdoctorsnowprescribeexercise,theywillbeabletoprescribeavisittotheMMFA.”5.WhatdoesHélèneBoyerthinkofmuseumvisits?A.Theycancheerpeopleup.
