4．B【導(dǎo)語】這是一篇記敘文。主要講述了Heather解釋了為什么響尾蛇在人們居住的地方被發(fā)現(xiàn)，捕蛇者Heather的經(jīng)歷及她對捕蛇這一工作的看法。1．細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中“ButHeatherRamirezandherhusband,fromCalifornia,theUnitedStates,makealivinginanunusualway.Theyareself-employedsnakecatchers!”（但來自美國加州的希瑟·拉米雷斯和她的丈夫以一種不同尋常的方式謀生。他們是自雇的捕蛇者?。┛芍桌姿挂患乙砸环N不同尋常的方式謀生，他們是自雇的捕蛇者。故選D項(xiàng)。2．細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中“Intheareawheretheylive,rattlesnakesoftencomefacetofacewithpeople.Theyarefoundinstores,offices,housesandgardens.Heatherexplainsthatit’snotthesnakesthataremovingintoplaceswherepeoplelive,butit’stheotherwayround.Thesnakeslivedintheseplacesfirstandthenthepeoplebuilthouses.”（在它們生活的地區(qū)，響尾蛇經(jīng)常與人面對面。商店、辦公室、房子和花園都有。Heather解釋說，并不是蛇進(jìn)入了人類居住的地方，而是反過來。蛇先住在這些地方，然后人們才蓋房子。）可知，在第二段中，Heather解釋了為什么響尾蛇會(huì)出現(xiàn)在人們生活的地方。故選C項(xiàng)。3．詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第三段中“Mostpeoplewhoseearattlesnakearefeared.”（大多數(shù)看到響尾蛇的人都很害怕。）提到響尾蛇。以及“Shepicksupthesnakewithaspecialtool.”（她用一種特殊的工具把蛇撿起來。）故可猜測，此處them指代的是響尾蛇。故選A項(xiàng)。4．細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段中“Noteveryonecandothisjob,butHeatherdoesn’twanttodoanythingelse.“Ijustlovemyjob,”shesays.”（不是每個(gè)人都能做這份工作，但Heathe不想做其他任何工作?！拔揖褪菒畚业墓ぷ?，”她說。）可知，Heather總是樂于做好她的工作。故選B項(xiàng)。5．D

12．A【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了布谷鳥鳥自己不會(huì)筑巢，所以總是將自己的蛋產(chǎn)在其他鳥類的巢里，從而讓其他鳥類為自己孵化幼鳥。9．細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段“Insteadthefemalepassestheserolesontootherbirds.Theydon’traisetheirownyoung.Usually,theylaytheireggsinthenestsofotherbirds,foolingotherbirdsintothinkingthecuckooeggsaretheirs.(相反，雌性把這些角色傳遞給其他鳥。它們不撫養(yǎng)自己的孩子。通常，它們把蛋下在別的鳥的巢里，讓別的鳥以為布谷鳥蛋是它們的。)”可知，在孵化幼鳥的時(shí)候，布谷鳥總是依賴其他鳥類。故選C。10．詞句猜測題。根據(jù)劃線前半句“Oftenthecuckooistwicethesizeofitsfosterparents,(通常情況下，布谷鳥的體型是養(yǎng)父母的兩倍)”可知，雖然和親鳥差別很大，但布谷鳥有鳥仍能從養(yǎng)父母那里獲得食物。所以劃線單詞them指的是“養(yǎng)父母”。故選C。11．推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段“Thecuckooimposter(冒名頂替者)isusuallytheonlybabybirdthatthehostparenthastocarefor.Thisisbecausewhenthecuckoohatchesafteraround11days,itgetsridofalltheothereggsinthenest.Itwilllifteacheggontoitsbackbeforethrowingthemonebyoneovertheedgeofthenest.(冒充布谷鳥的雛鳥通常是宿主父母需要照顧的唯一雛鳥。這是因?yàn)楫?dāng)布谷鳥在11天后孵化時(shí)，它會(huì)把巢中所有其他的蛋都扔掉。它會(huì)把每個(gè)蛋背在背上，然后把它們一個(gè)一個(gè)地扔出巢穴的邊緣。)”可知，當(dāng)布谷鳥孵化出來的時(shí)候，其他蛋還處于孵化狀態(tài)。因此可推斷，布谷鳥比鳥巢中其他鳥類孵化的要早。故選A。12．主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章第一段“Cuckoos(布谷鳥)aremastersofcheating.(布谷鳥是欺騙的大師。)”以及文章主要內(nèi)容可知，文章主要介紹了布谷鳥是如何欺騙其他鳥類為其孵化幼鳥的。所以“Howcuckoosfoolotherbirds(布谷鳥是如何欺騙其他鳥類的)”作為文章標(biāo)題最為合適。故選A。13．B

14．A

15．C

16．D【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇應(yīng)用文。文章主要介紹了動(dòng)物園的一些活動(dòng)和規(guī)則。13．推理判斷題。根據(jù)Bear2:30p.m.25mins可知，看熊是在下午2點(diǎn)35分，可以看25分鐘，也就是到2點(diǎn)55分。由此推知，在2點(diǎn)45分可以看熊。故選B。14．細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)表格最右邊MINITRAIN中“Getahandstampatthegateofthezoo,andyoucangetonandofftheminitrainunlimitedtimesonthesameday.(在動(dòng)物園門口蓋章，就可以在當(dāng)天無限次上下迷你火車)”可知，在動(dòng)物園門口蓋章，你就可以在同一天無限次上下迷你火車。故選A。15．詞句猜測題。根據(jù)“WARNING:Itisagainstthelawtofeedordisturbanyanimalsinthezoo.Violatorswillberequiredtoleavethezoo,andcouldpayfinesupto$300.(警告：在動(dòng)物園喂食或騷擾動(dòng)物是違法的。Violators將被要求離開動(dòng)物園，并可能支付高達(dá)300美元的罰款)”可推知，劃線詞是指違反規(guī)定給動(dòng)物喂食或騷擾動(dòng)物的人。故選C。16．推理判斷題。通讀全文，尤其是根據(jù)“ZOOHOURS:9:00a.m.-6:00p.m.(動(dòng)物園開放時(shí)間：上午9：00-下午6：00)”，“ANIMALEXPERIENCES(動(dòng)物體驗(yàn))”，“FORHEALTH&SAFETY(健康和安全須知)”“WARNING(警告)”，并結(jié)合全文可知，本文的主要目的是介紹動(dòng)物園的一些活動(dòng)和規(guī)則。故選D。17．C

20．D【導(dǎo)語】這是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了美洲虎的生存現(xiàn)狀以及所采取的保護(hù)行動(dòng)。17．細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中“Scientistshopetheycanturnthingsaroundforthisimportantapexpredator,meaningonethatisontopofthefoodchain.(科學(xué)家們希望他們能扭轉(zhuǎn)這種重要的頂級捕食者的局面，這意味著它處于食物鏈的頂端)”可知，美洲虎不被任何其他動(dòng)物獵殺。故選C。18．推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五段中“Intheabsenceofthisspecies,ecosystemsstopworkingwellandmayevencollapse.(如果沒有這個(gè)物種，生態(tài)系統(tǒng)就無法正常運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)，甚至可能崩潰)”可推知，DiMartino的工作有意義。故選B。19．詞句猜測題。根據(jù)畫線詞上文“Themainpreyofthejaguaristhecapybaraandthecaiman.”以及畫線詞后文“becauseoftheabsenceofthejaguar,whichcausesimbalancesintheecosystem”可知，美洲虎的主要獵物是水豚和凱門鱷，而由于美洲虎的消失，它們的數(shù)量變得綽綽有余，因此導(dǎo)致了生態(tài)系統(tǒng)的失衡。故畫線詞意思是“綽綽有余”。故選A。20．推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第四段中“Thentheyneededtobreed.AfemalenamedMariuamatedwithamalejaguarfromBrazil.Mariuathengavebirthtothetwobabyjaguars.(然后它們需要繁殖。一只名叫Mariua的雌性美洲虎與一只來自巴西的雄性美洲虎交配。Mariua生下了兩只美洲虎寶寶)”以及倒數(shù)第三段中“DiMartinosaidthatjaguarsbornatbreedingcentershavetolearnhowtohuntandmustnotbecomeusedtohumans.Otherwise,theywillnothavesuccessinthewild.(DiMartino說，在繁殖中心出生的美洲虎必須學(xué)會(huì)捕獵，不能習(xí)慣人類。否則，它們在野外不會(huì)成功)”可推知，作者提到Mariua是為了解釋野化美洲虎的方法。故選D。21．A
