Ⅲ.单句语法填空
1．The
brave
volunteers
are
struggling________
the happiness of the poor.
答案：for
解析：考查动词struggle的用法。句意：这些勇敢的志愿者们在为穷人的幸福而奋斗。struggle for sth.“为……而奋斗”，符合句意。
2．Please________(装备) yourself with a sharp pencil and a rubber for the exam.
答案：equip
解析：句意：请准备一支尖铅笔和一块橡皮参加考试。equip...with...“装有……；用……装备”。
3．Nowadays some parents regret not________(spend) more time with their kids when they were young.
答案：spending
解析：句意：现在一些家长后悔年轻时没有跟孩子们在一起多待一会儿。regret doing sth.“后悔做了某事”。
4．－The cars give off a great deal of waste gas in the streets.
－Yes. But I'm sure something will be done to________(减少) air pollution.
答案：reduce
解析：考查动词。从语境中的a great deal of waste gas可知汽车排放了大量的废气；而第二个人则说“有措施要采取”来“减少空气污染”；所以此处要用reduce。
5．________ ________(幸亏) the teacher's help, he has made great progress in English study.
答案：Thanks to
解析：句意：多亏了老师的帮助，他的英语学习取得了很大进步。thanks to为介词短语，意为“多亏了；由于；因为”。
6．It is sleeping late in the morning
that ________ ________(导致) being late for work.
答案：leads to
解析：考查动词短语。该句为强调句型，强调的是句子主语“sleeping late in the morning”。lead to“导致”，因主语为动名词，故用leads。
7．All her energies ________ ________(focus) upon her children, and she seems to have little time
for anything else.
答案： are focused
解析：句意：她把所有的精力都倾注在她孩子身上，几乎没有时间关注其他的事情。focus与介词on或upon连用，意为“集中(注意力、精力等)于”。主语energies与focus构成被动关系，故使用被动语态。
8．My mother doesn't
want to find a job and would rather
________(stay)
at home
and be a housewife.
答案：stay
解析：考查would rather的用法。句意：我妈妈不想找工作，她宁愿待在家里做一名家庭主妇。would rather后加动词时应用动词原形。
9．In the past
several weeks,
many cities in Northern China ________ ________ ________(suffer) from
heavy fogs,
causing great
inconvenience to people.
答案：have been suffering
解析：句意：在过去的几个星期里，中国北方的许多城市一直遭受着浓雾天气给人们带来了极大的不便。由“In the past several weeks”可知，此处应用现在完成进行时，表示从过去某一时间开始一直延续到现在，可能还要继续下去，且many cities与suffer之间是逻辑上的主谓关系。
10．—How do you find the new
book by J．K.Rowling?
—Very________(bore). I guess she is out of her talent.
答案：boring
解析：考查情景交际。句意：“你认为J.K.罗琳写得新书怎么样？”“很枯燥。我想她已江郎才尽了。”

Ⅴ.阅读理解
[2017·兰州、靖远名校高三模拟考试]
The kakapo is the world's only flightless parrot. They
measure 50 to 64 centimeters long and weigh 2 to 4 kilograms.
They have green, yellowbrown feathers and small wings. These wings are used for balance and for helping break falls
when they jump from low branches onto the ground. The kakapo also has large feet with two toes facing forwards and
another two facing backwards. These feet
help them climb
trees.
This species is also known as the owl parrot because of
its big, brown eyes as well as the shape of its head.
The kakapo can be found only on Codfish and Chalky
Islands. Because the kakapo can't fly, they move around and
look for food on the ground. Being nocturnal, they will rest
during the day and carry out their activities at night. They are special creatures, spending most of their time alone.
The diet of the kakapo consists of nuts, berries, seeds,
flowers and fruits.
They also eat insects and small reptiles(爬行动物). The kakapo is an easy target for predators as it's
large and has a tendency of freezing up when threatened.
Humans have been big hunters of these birds, both for their
meat and their feathers.
Breeding season for the kakapo takes place from
December to April. After mating has taken place, a male will
leave the female to raise the chicks alone. Females will give
birth to about 2 to 3 eggs every 2 to 5 years, which will hatch
after about 30 days. The chicks won't reach sexual maturity
until they are 9 or 10 years old.
If they can survive long
enough,
however, they can
grow up to be 60 years old,
and
some may even survive almost 100 years.
The kakapo is a critically endangered species, with fewer
than 150 left. Over hunting, slow reproduction and loss of
natural habitat have been their greatest threats throughout
history. Hopefully, something can be done soon before the
kakapo is lost to this world completely. After all, such a
unique parrot deserves to live and prosper for future
generations to see.
1. The first paragraph mainly tells us something about ________.
A. the kakapo's habitat
B. the kakapo's physical appearance
C. the kakapo's lifestyle
D. functions of the kakapo's wings and feet
2. The kakapo is called the owl parrot mainly because________.
A. they carry out their activities at night
B. they spend most of their time alone
C. their eyes and heads look like the owls'
D. their large feet look like the owls'
3．Which of the following statements is true about the kakapo?
A．They begin to mate when they are five years old.
B．It is the females' duty to raise the chicks alone.
C．They like to stay with other creatures.
D．People hunt them for feathers not for their meat.
4．The factors that drive the kakapo in danger include the following EXCEPT that________.
A．people have never stopped hunting them
B．they don't have high birth rate
C．their natural habitat has been decreasing
D．they face a lack of nutritious food

4．D。细节理解题。从最后一段的内容可知，让：人类的过度捕杀、繁殖率低和栖息地的减少等。故选D项。

One possible version：
This_year,a_continuous_and_deadly__heat_wave_was_cooking_the_southern_parts_of_China.Since early July, about 19 provinces and regions including Anhui Province and Zhejiang Province were experiencing extreme heat，covering almost a third of the country.With temperatures in most areas of the south over 40℃，as many microblog posts and TV reports showed，it had been literally hot enough to fry an egg on the street, which is joked by the netizens as the “Sauna Days” or “Barbeque Days”．
In such extreme weather，however，it is wise and reasonable for us to stay in especially between 10 a．m. and 4 p．m.. But if we have to go out，we are supposed to take some effective measures such as putting on some sunscreen lotion or taking some special medicine to avoid the sunshine and heat. In addition，it is students' safety that also counts.Therefore，I sincerely suggest that students in the cities and in the countryside as well should keep away from the rivers and lakes.
