　　四、阅读理解

　　When you travel in South America,you’d better pay attention to the following three kinds of dangerous South American animals.

　　Piranhas(水虎鱼)

　　Although only a small number of piranhas are considered to be dangerous to humans,the red-bellied piranha is definitely one of those.Evidence has shown that a large group of piranhas can absolutely eat a herd of large animals crossing the river,leaving only bones.This fish lives in the freshwater streams of South America,and they can smell the blood from far away and launch attacks swiftly.It is said that they are only dangerous to humans if the water volumes are less and lower.

　　Anacondas(水蟒)

　　This South American monster of a creature often appears in the films or your nightmares!They have weighed over 230 kilograms.It is often considered to be the biggest snake in the world.You certainly don’t want to get caught alone with this snake due to its method of attacking and killing its victim.It is indeed a remarkably different brand of snake type as it regularly coils(缠绕)around all over its target,increasing the pressure until eventually its victim dies.Its jaws are powered by large muscles that produce enough power for its over 100 sharp teeth to pass through the thick skin of an crocodile.They don?t have poison.Sometimes they prefer to camouflage themselves so they look like their surroundings and swiftly draw back when humans are near.

　　Golden Poisonous Frogs

　　The golden poison frog might be the most-deadly of the South American animals,which is protected by means of poison.This very small frog,less than 55 mm in length,packs enough punch(效力)to take down a pair of African bull elephants.This apparently harmless frog has always been known to have killed people who have touched it directly.It’s also been noted that chicken and dogs have died by contacting things on which a golden poison frog had wandered! In intense colors,they normally look attractive to their targets.

　　1.What can we learn about piranhas from the passage?

　　A.Piranhas are the most dangerous animals.

　　B.Piranhas like to live in the deep seabed.

　　C.Piranhas may attack human beings when the water level is low.

　　D.Piranhas only attack human beings when they cross the river in groups.

　　2.How does an anaconda kill its victim according to the passage?

　　A.It often uses its poison to kill its victim.

　　B.It often uses its strength to kill its victim.

　　C.It kills its victim mainly using its powerful teeth.

　　D.It kills its victim with the help of other snakes.

　　3.The underlined word “camouflage” in Paragraph 3 means “　”. 

　　A.hide itself by appearing like the surroundings

　　B.terrify and capture the enemy by making much noise

　　C.move around to search for delicious food

　　D.give off harmful gas to kill the targets

　　4.Chicken and dogs are mentioned in Paragraph 4 to show that　. 

　　A.no animals can survive the poison of the golden poison frog

　　B.they like to wander along the path of the golden poison frog

　　C.the golden poison frog likes eating them most

　　D.the poison of the golden poison frog is deadly

　　8.but　句意:我记不住那个音调是什么样子了,不过我听到它的时候就会辨认出来。考查并列句。根据语境可知前后两个分句之间是转折关系,应用but来连接。

　　9.To remind　句意:——你为什么要把那张照片挂在壁炉上方呢?——先生,这是为了提醒游客纪念长征的日子。考查非谓语动词作状语。根据语境可知答语表目的,应该用不定式。

　　10.quit　句意:我认为汤姆作为一个大部门的领导,应该定期进修或者辞去他的工作。并列连词either...or...连接两个并列的谓语动词,空格处与study并列,应该用动词原形quit。

　　二、语法填空

　　1.distance　考查词性转换。in the distance是固定搭配,意为“在远处”,符合语境。

　　4.catching　考查非谓语动词。所填词与building,making等都是并列的,作remember的宾语,remember doing sth.记得做过某事。

　　5.my　考查代词。根据first...and then的提示可知答案。and then后面是my作定语,此空也应该是my。

　　6.less　考查比较级。站在那里穿着记忆的温暖的大衣应该是使风变得不那么冷,故应填little的比较级less。

　　7.for　考查介词。for the first time“第一次,首次”,在句中作状语。

　　8.and　考查连词。fresh和clean是并列的,同作系动词taste的表语,据此可知应该填连词and。

　　9.truth　考查名词。所填词被形容词simple修饰,并且前面有定冠词限定,由此可知所填词应该是名词。true的名词形式是truth。

　　10.too　考查副词。too...to...“太……以至于不能……”。
