(2019·长春市质量监测一)Pangolins(穿山甲) are strange­looking creatures, covered with hard scales(鳞). They can roll up into a ball to protect themselves from enemies and have tongues that are longer than their bodies.

Pangolins have recently become the focus of Chinese people. A screenshot of a microblog post showing some people eating pangolins at a feast spread. A few days later, people were angered again by pictures showing people eating protected animals, including pangolins.

Yet this is only the tip of the iceberg. Many more pangolins have been hunted or killed. According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), more than 1 million of them have been killed or sold in the last 10 years. It also said that they are the most illegally traded mammals in the world. In September 2016, the IUCN added the pangolin to the world's “endangered animals list”. They are now more endangered than pandas.

A growing trade of their scales and meat is the main reason for their decline in number. Many people in Asia and Africa consider pangolin meat is delicious. Some people even think pangolin scales have medical qualities. However, their scales are made of keratin(角蛋白), the same material human fingernails are made of.

Luckily, the situation is getting better. World Pangolin Day is on the third Saturday of February each year. It's a day to help people know more about pangolins. The government now stops anyone from buying and eating pangolins in China. Breaking this law is regarded as a crime, and the trade of pangolins across the world is also not allowed, according to the Convention on Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora.

(2019·江西省三名校联考)When I was three years old, I couldn't speak. It was a strange reality that none of the doctors I visited could understand.

One day, I was shadowing(尾随) my mother. She found herself looking in a mirror, and through it our eyes met. She began to speak to me through the reflection, and I slowly began to mimic(模仿) her mouth's movements until I formed a word.

It turned out that I'm deaf in my left ear, and have a slight problem in my right. Being hard of hearing has been difficult, but I've never lived in a state of self­hating sorrow. Imagine being able to shut out all sound as you lay your head down to sleep by simply rolling over onto one side. That's my reality when I sleep on my “good ear”，and it makes me feel like a superhero sometimes.

People call my deaf side my “bad ear”， but when I wear my hearing aid, I have access to a range of features that some other deaf people don't. In cinemas, for example, with one click of a button I can enjoy a whole film as though it were whispered to me from the mouths of the actors.

Owning a hearing aid hasn't always felt good, however. On the first day I got my aid, when I was eight, I took it to school for show and tell. As I explained how it worked to my classmates, a boy yelled out, “Aren't those for old men？” At that moment, I felt different. It took a long time for me to get over that sense of being so unlike my peers.

But it's not just schoolkids who can make us deaf and hard­of­hearing people feel like burdens. Every video on social media that lacks subtitles(字幕), for example, means an entire community of deaf people is unable to enjoy it. Completely deaf people are excluded from enjoying many movies too, as subtitles in cinemas are almost impossible to find.

And with hearing aids costing around $2，500 each, it can be hard for many people to afford to be able to listen to things that others take for granted. As for me, I can listen to music, enjoy films, and catch conversations－I'm lucky. I'm deaf, but I can still hear everything. I've been blessed with wonderful life experiences, and I am human. And when it comes to sleeping, I'm even superhuman.

【语篇解读】　本文主要讲述了作者积极应对自己听力障碍的励志故事。

5．How does the author view his hearing difficulty?

A．It's a disaster and causes him a lot of trouble.

B．It gave him a chance to experience something special.

C．It made him feel embarrassed in front of his classmates.

D．It helped him to live in his own world without being interrupted.

B　[推理判断题。根据对第三段的整体理解，尤其是最后一句“That's my reality when I sleep on my ‘good ear’， and it makes me feel like a superhero sometimes”可推知，听力障碍让作者有了与众不同的体验，与最后一段倒数第二句“I've been blessed with wonderful life experiences, and I am human”呼应，故选B。]

6．What can be inferred from the passage about the author?

A．He was born deaf.

B．He is optimistic and helpful.

C．His family and classmates have supported him a lot.

D．The hearing aid brings much convenience to his daily life.

D　[推理判断题。根据第四段第一句“People call my deaf side my‘bad ear’， but when I wear my hearing aid, I have access to a range of features that some other deaf people don't”和对本段的整体理解可推知，助听器给作者的生活带来了诸多便利，故选D。]

7．What is the author's attitude toward his life?

A．Grateful. B．Anxious.

C．Excited. D．Disappointed.

A　[观点态度题。根据最后一段第二句“As for me, I can listen to music, enjoy films, and catch conversations－I'm lucky”和第四句“I've been blessed with wonderful life experiences, and I am human”可推知，作者对自己的生活充满感激之情，故选A。]

(2019·合肥市第一次教学质量检测)

Apologizing the Right Way to a Friend

Why are apologies so difficult? Saying you are sorry can be the most difficult thing you do. But we all make mistakes, so you'll probably have an occasion when you need to apologize. Perhaps you had blown up at someone and realized later you reacted poorly.   1  . Whatever the reason, apologizing can help you both heal and move on from the situation.

  2  . First, you acknowledge that you did something wrong. With an apology, you take responsibility for your actions, which allows your friend to forgive you. Second, an apology gives your sincerity as a friend.   3  ， but that doesn't mean we still shouldn't apologize.

Now, what are elements of a proper apology?   4  ， depending on what the offense was, where it was done, and who you are apologizing to. In general, a good apology should include the following: a request for their attention, an acknowledgment of what happened, sincerity in admitting you did something wrong and the words “I'm sorry” or “I apologize”. Here are things never to say when apologizing. Note that the art of apologizing involves taking responsibility. Never apologize as a way to “shut someone up” when they are saying you hurt their feelings and you don't think you did.   5  ， you should talk things through with your friends until you see why they are hurt or how you came across. You'll really need to self­reflect so you can see things from your friend's point of view.

A．When you make your apology in person

B．If you really believe you did nothing wrong

C．Apologies benefit friendships in a variety of ways

D．The way you apologize is going to be slightly different

E．Or maybe you just didn't show support when you needed to

F．Apologizing the right way, however, may take a little practice

G．Sometimes our pals forgive us easily for the minor things we do wrong

【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了向朋友道歉的正确方法。

1．E　[根据空后的“Whatever the reason”可知，空处与空前一句讲的是向朋友道歉的原因，所以选项E与语境相符，且选项E中的“maybe”与空前一句中的“Perhaps”相呼应，故选E。]

2．C　[空处位于段落句首主题句的位置；通读该段可知，该段主要讲的是道歉对友谊的好处，故C项符合语境。]

3．G　[根据空后的“but that doesn't mean we still shouldn't apologize”可知，G项“有时我们的朋友轻易地就原谅了我们犯的小错误”符合语境。]

4．D　[根据空后的“depending on...who you are apologizing to”可知，D项“你道歉的方法要稍微不同”与之衔接自然，故选D项。]

5．B　[根据空后的“you should talk things through with your friends until you see why they are hurt or how you came across”可知，B项“如果你确实认为你没做错什么”与之联系紧密，故选B项。]

Ⅲ.语法填空

(2019·昆明市摸底调研)Lions, tigers and other animals are staying awake at night 1.________(avoid) human beings, a new study finds.

Scientists have known that human activities can lead to changes in nature. Many animals may move around less or travel to far places to keep away 2.________ people. By being awake at night, animals can also be on guard against possible enemies and spend less time 3.________(look) for food.

Results 8.________(publish) in the journal Science two months ago.

The new findings are 9.________(usual) because no one else has looked at it in such detail before. Ecologist Marlee Tucker was 10.________(surprise) that any kind of human activities is enough for animals to see people as a threat.

【语篇解读】　人类活动导致许多动物在夜间保持清醒以保持警惕状态。

1．to avoid　[考查非谓语动词。狮子、老虎以及其他的动物在夜间保持清醒旨在避开人类。此处用动词不定式作目的状语。]

2．from　[考查固定搭配。keep away from...“远离……”，为固定搭配。]

3．looking　[考查固定用法。spend time doing sth.“花时间做某事”为固定用法。]

4．frighten　[考查动词。最新研究表明，即使像务农和野营这样的活动也会惊吓到动物，进而导致它们夜间变得更加活跃。情态动词can后应接动词原形，故应用名词fright的动词形式frighten。]

5．What　[考查主语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处引导主语从句且缺少主语，故用what，意为“……的事物”。]

6．carefully　[考查副词。修饰句中的谓语动词compared应使用副词。]

7．It　[考查强调句型。分析句子结构可知，去掉       was和that之后，句子表意完整，故该句为强调句型“It was＋被强调部分＋that＋其他成分”。]

8．were published　[考查时态和语态。根据语境可知，谓语动词publish和句子的主语Results是被动关系，且根据时间状语two months ago可知，描述的是发生在过去的事情，故用一般过去时的被动语态。]

9．unusual　[考查形容词。先前没人对此进行过如此详细的研究，所以这些新的发现显得不同寻常。]

10．surprised　[考查形容词。此处为过去分词作表语，表示主语Marlee Tucker的状态，故用形容词surprised。]
