Ⅱ.阅读理解
A
(2017·合肥模拟)Some animals will defend their territory by fighting with those who try to invade it.Fighting, however, is not often the best choice, since it uses
up a large amount of energy, and can result in injury or even death.Most animals rely on various threats, either through sounds or smells.The songs of birds, the drumming of woodpeckers and the loud calls of monkeys are
all
warnings
that
carry
for
long distances, advertising to possible invaders that someone else's territory is being approached.Many animals rely on smells to mark their territories or leaving droppings around the territories.Other animals will be warned off the territory without ever meeting with the territory's defender.
Sometimes,
these warnings may be
ignored,
and an invader may move accidentally into a neighboring territory, or two animals may meet near the border of their nearby territories.When the two animals meet, they will generally threaten each other with visual (视觉的) displays.These displays will often exaggerate an animal's size by putting up feathers or fur, or will show off the animal's weapons.The animals may go through all the behavior of fighting without ever actually touching each other.The displays are generally performed best near the center of an animal's territory, where it is more likely to attack an invader and where retreating becomes more of a choice.
Actual fighting usually only happens in overcrowded conditions, when resources are not enough.Serious injury can result, and old or sick animals may die, leading to a more balanced population size.Under most natural conditions, territoriality is an effective way of maintaining a healthy population.The study of social behaviors such as territoriality in animals may also help us to understand human society.
1．What topic is the passage mainly involved in?
A．What animals' territory is usually like.
B．How animals deal with different threats.
C．How animals defend their territory.
D．Where animal fights take place frequently.
2．For most animals, what's their first response to the possible invaders to defend their territory?
A．Fighting in groups.
B．Threatening and warning.
C．Escaping before being hurt.
D．Asking partners for help.
3．What does the underlined word “exaggerate” in the second paragraph mean?
A．Enlarge.
B．Change.
C．Shake.
D．Shrink.
4．The last paragraph tells us that territoriality has an influence on the ________ of the animals.
A．communication
B．condition
C．population
D．migration

.1.选D good idea“好主意”；go ahead“行；请吧”；have a nice trip“祝你旅途愉快”；take care“当心；小心”。根据“The ground is still quite wet.”可知，此处是提醒前者要当心路滑。故选D。
2．选A 句意：天下着大雪，那些无家可归的孩子们感到冷，所以他们紧紧地站在一起(互相取暖)。close作副词时，意为“接近地；不远”，通常放在动词之后。closely作副词常常用于引申义，表示“仔细地；紧密地”。所以A项正确。
3．选C 句意：这位老妇人很热心，不管是谁遇到麻烦她总是乐于帮忙。分析句子成分可知，空处引导一个宾语从句，且在从句中作主语，因此用whoever。
4．选D 句意：在明朝期间，长城得以修缮并扩建，成为现在的样子。此题考查“It is (was)＋被强调部分＋that ...”的强调句型，本题强调时间状语during the Ming Dynasty，故选择D。
5．选A 句意：我睡得很香，醒来的时候神清气爽，没有别的感觉，就是特别想吃妈妈做的东西。分析句子结构可知，for为介词，空格处引导宾语从句，并在从句中作prepare的宾语，故选whatever“任何东西”。whichever意为“不论哪一个”；B、D两项只能引导让步状语从句。故答案选A。
6．选C 句意：一种保护无论什么原因造成处于灭绝状态的物种的方法是把它们迁移到动物园或公园里并且在那里饲养它们。根据句意可知应选preserve，意为“保护”。betray“背叛”；resist“抵制”；abandon“抛弃”。
7．选C 句意：没有人预先知道地震什么时候爆发。in vain“徒劳地”；in return“作为回报”；in advance“预先；提前”；in danger“处于危险之中”。根据句意选C。
8．选C 句意：不要期望学生们都一模一样。每个孩子都是一个独特的个体，有他们自己的需求、爱好和天赋。unique“独一无二的”，符合句意。original “最初的；独创的”； similar “相似的”； equal “平等的”。

3．选A 词义猜测题。根据第二段第二、三句可知，当某种动物发现有其他的动物侵入自己的领地时，会通过视觉上的展示来恐吓对方。它们会竖起羽毛或皮毛，以使自己看起来更大、更强壮。因此exaggerate应为“扩大，增大”之意。故答案选A。
