Emperor Penguins

　　Emperor penguins are considered the most beautiful and the largest of all penguins.They are amazing birds. They are good survivors, excellent swimmers and great parents. Do you know where we can see them?

You are absolutely right! Antarctica. Only Antarctica!

Antarctica is the continent which is the most southern area of land on the Earth and is mostly covered with ice. It is colder, drier and windier than any other place on the Earth. The lowest temperature can reach -89.2 ℃. In order to survive the extremely tough environment, emperor penguins have to cooperate. They crowd together to protect themselves from the wind and keep warm. Meanwhile, they take turns to move to the relatively warm inside.

Emperor penguins live on a diet which consists of different types of fish and other kinds of sea life. To find food, these birds, which are unable to fly, can dive much deeper than any other kind of penguin. Their dives often reach about 244 metres, and they can even dive to more than 535 metres when necessary. They can remain under water for almost 18 minutes, longer than any other kind of penguin.

Emperor penguins have a very hard time bringing up their babies. They have to go to great lengths to care for their children. After laying an egg, the tired female emperor penguin will leave the family behind to feed at sea, while the male is left to take care of the egg. For two months, the father, whose duty is to keep the egg safe and warm, carries his egg around on his feet and will give up eating until the mother returns. He does not sit on the egg like many other birds, but stands and balances it on his feet. Thus he is at the mercy of the Antarctic weather. When the mother returns from the sea, sometimes up to 60—80 kilometres away, she throws up some of the food for the chick and takes the male’s place to look after it. The father then takes his turn to feed at sea. This cooperative parenting approach is at its finest.

By December, during the Antarctic summer, when the ice begins to break up and open water appears, the young emperor penguins are about three months old. They start learning to be excellent survivors and good swimmers. What an amazing cycle it is!

1.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “cooperate” in the third paragraph?　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

A.Work together.

B.Fight against cold.

C.Protect themselves.

D.Move to warm places.

2.Emperor penguins 　　　　.  

A.feed on only certain types of fish

B.live in the most terrible weather conditions

C.are amazing birds that can both fly and swim

D.stay in water 18 minutes longer than other penguins

3.What can we learn about emperor penguins?

A.They are great parents who sit on eggs to keep them warm.

B.They are the most beautiful and the largest birds in the world.

C.They are good survivors and they move to warm places in winter.

D.They are excellent swimmers and they can dive deeper than other penguins.

4.What can we learn from the passage?

A.The chicks break up the eggshells in summer.

B.An emperor penguin lays several eggs at a time.

C.The male emperor penguins hatch the eggs in winter.

D.The chicks are ready to live on their own one year later.

五.完形填空

　　Jadav Payeng, an Indian, has formed the habit of planting a tree every day since he was just 16 years old. Now, almost 40 years later, he has created a 　1　 of 1,360 acres on what was once a poor land.

Island locals used to call Payeng “crazy” for his 　9　, but since he was accidentally 　10　 by a wandering wildlife journalist in 2007, the “Forest Man of India” has been 　11　 as a role model for protecting the environment.  

Payeng doesn’t plan on 　12　 any time soon—he wants to continue planting trees “until his last 　13　”. He hopes to 　14　 the entire island one day with 5,000 acres of trees. “Nature is everything. It 　15　 me. It gives me power.

Starting a wildlife conservation center is a necessary 　1　 important job, but it hardly brings money to its founder and so it is for Jane Thomas.

二.1.operation　考查名词。句意:她负担不起手术费,因为她家很穷。设空处作afford的宾语,根据空前的the可知此处用名词,意为“手术”。

2.to protect　考查固定用法。take measures to do sth.采取措施做某事。故填to protect。

四

Ⅰ.1.A　词义猜测题。根据第三段最后两句可知,帝企鹅聚在一起抵御寒风,并轮流取暖,所以推知上文表示为了在恶劣的环境下生存,它们必须合作。故选A。

2.B　细节理解题。根据第三段前三句对帝企鹅的生存环境的描述可知,帝企鹅生活在最恶劣的天气条件下。故选B。由第四段第一句可知帝企鹅吃各种类型的鱼和其他种类的海洋生物,故A项错误;由第四段第二句可知帝企鹅不会飞,故排除C项;由第四段最后一句可知帝企鹅可以在水中待大概18分钟,而不是比其他企鹅多待18分钟,故D项错误。

3.D　细节理解题。根据第一段第三句和第四段第二句“To find food, these birds...can dive much deeper than any other kind of penguin.”可知,帝企鹅是优秀的游泳者,它们可以比其他企鹅潜得更深。故选D。根据第五段中的“He does not sit on the egg”可知A项错误;由第一段第一句可知B项错误,属于偷换概念;C项中的“they move to warm places in winter”在文中未体现。

4.C　推理判断题。根据第五段第三、四句“After laying an egg...while the male is left to take care of the egg. For two months, the father, whose duty is to keep the egg safe and warm...”可知,雌性帝企鹅每次下一个蛋,雄性帝企鹅负责花两个月时间孵蛋,B项错误;结合最后一段可推知,雄性帝企鹅在南极的冬天孵蛋。故选C。

五.

1.B　lake湖;forest森林;park公园;hole洞。根据第三段的“his forest”可知,他创造的是森林,故选B。

2.A　witness目睹;imagine想象;report报告,报道;rescue营救,抢救。根据语境可知,他目睹了动物死于干旱,然后决定每天种一棵树,故选A。

3.D　remote遥远的;amazing令人惊奇的;fresh新鲜的;decreasing减少的。由设空处前的drought可知岛上的绿色植物在减少,故选D。

4.A　decade十年;year年;month月;week星期。由上文的“almost 40 years later(将近40年后)”可知他种树种了差不多40年,故选A。

5.D　argue争论,辩论;dream梦想;hope希望;believe相信。根据上文“his forest is now home to hundreds of elephants...”可知,他的森林已经是许多动物的家园,所以是已经存在的事实,故选D。

6.D　food食物;care照顾,照料;water水;shelter庇护。根据上文“his forest is now home to hundreds of elephants...”可知,动物在森林中生存,森林提供的是庇护,故选D。

7.B　by accident偶然地;by myself我独自一人;by mistake错误地;by all means当然行。根据下文的“the wind knows how to plant them; the birds here know how to...”可知, Payeng认为风、鸟和大象等都在帮忙种树,所以他不觉得是他自己一个人在种树,故选B。

8.A　know知道,了解;work工作,奏效;rest休息;run跑。设空处与前面为并列关系,由上文的“knows how to” “know how to”和“know”可知应选A。

9.C　confidence自信;position位置;ambition雄心,抱负;experiment实验。由第一段可知Payeng一直坚持的习惯很伟大,由语境可知应选C。

10.A　discover发现;connect连接;decide决定;regard看待,把……视为。由语境可知最初只有当地人知道Payeng种树,后来他被当作楷模,所以是一名记者发现他,discovered符合语境,故选A。

11.C　order命令,订购;observe观察,注意到;praise表扬;study学习,研究。设空处后的“as a role model for protecting the environment(作为保护环境的楷模)”是褒义,故选C。

12.A　stop停止;return返回,恢复;hide隐藏;wait等待。由下文的“continue planting trees”的提示可知,此处应该表示不打算停止,故选A。

14.D　tighten加强,使变紧;restart重新开始;arrange安排;save挽救。文章一开始说Payeng已经种了1,360英亩的树,由设空处所在句中的“with 5,000 acres of trees”可知Payeng要种5,000英亩的树,以拯救整个岛屿。故选D。

15.B　improve提高,改进;inspire激励,鼓舞;change改变,变化;forbid禁止,妨碍。根据下一句“It gives me power.(它给了我力量)”可知,设空处用“激励”符合语境,故选B。

六.

1.and　考查连词。句中形容词necessary和 important是并列关系,所以用并列连词and。

2.building　考查动名词。此处sb. spend+时间+(in)doing sth.意为“某人花时间做某事”,所以要用动名词形式,故填building。

3.protection　考查名词。空前的to为介词,设空处作to的宾语,由语境可知应用名词形式,故填protection。

4.to continue　考查不定式。句意:她决心继续做她的工作,即使没有什么钱来回报她。be determined to do sth.意为“决心做某事”,为固定用法,故填to continue。

5.which/that　考查定语从句。句意:她决定用今年一个陌生人捐赠的那笔钱去拯救更多的动物。分析句子成分可知此处为定语从句, 先行词是the money,指物,关系词在定语从句中作主语,故填which或that。

6.the　考查冠词。句意:她在街上做了动物救助的广告,得到了公众的大力支持。public用作名词时表示“公众,民众”,是集合名词,常与定冠词the连用,故填the。

7.have attracted　考查动词的时态和主谓一致。句意:……我已经吸引了很多人。根据Ever since的提示可知主句要用现在完成时,且主语是I,故填have attracted。

8.passers-by　考查名词复数。句意:现在,当我走在街上时,许多路人向我挥手,甚至对我喊:“我从你那里收养了我的狗!”由many可知,应用复数形式,故填passers-by。

9.shocked　考查形容词。句意:人们对我比以往任何时候都好,我感到震惊。此处为主系表结构,由句意可知应用形容词作表语,主语为I,指人,所以要用-ed结尾的形容词,表示“感到震惊的”,故填shocked。

10.more nicely　考查副词的比较级。句意同上。由空后的than ever可知,此处是现在和以前两种情况的比较,所以要用副词的比较级,故填more nicely。
