the zebra cool down.On hot days the black stripes get a lot hotter than the white area of the zebra and under the black stripes there are special layers of fat for protection.Hot air then rises off the black stripes，forcing colder air down around the white areas，cooling the zebra down.This，however，is just a theory.The stripes can also confuse predators (食肉动物) when zebras stay with other animals in great numbers.Zebras have excellent hearing and eyesight and can run at a speed of up to 35 miles per hour (56 kilometers per hour)They also have a powerful kick that can cause serious injury to a predator，like a lion，or an African wild dog.Usually the lead male of the herd stays at the back of the group to defend against predators if necessary，while the females and youngsters run from danger.Zebras are herbivores and feed mostly on grasses，although they also might eat the leaves and stems (茎) of bushes a bit.They eat grasses for many hours each day，using their strong teeth.Spending so much time chewing wears the zebras teeth down，so their teeth keep growing all their lives.As the dry season arrives and the grasses die back，zebra herds travel to find more food and water holes for drinking.Most zebras have no specific territories.They travel from place to place，never staying in one area very long.1What can be inferred from the first paragraph?AThere are different opinions about why the zebra has stripes.BThe black stripes help the zebra live through cold days.CThe zebra can easily be attacked by predators.DThe zebra always travels with other animals.2According to the passage，herbivores are_.Aanimals that have specific territoriesBanimals that only eat plantsCanimals that kill and eat other animalsDanimals that live in groups3The zebra has strong teeth all their lives because their teeth_.Aonly chew soft grassesBare used all dayCare always growingDare kept clean4Which of the following statements about zebras is TRUE?AThey have poor eyesight and hearing.BTheir stripes can confuse predators.CThey can run 56 miles per hour.DThey usually stay in one area all their lives.5Which of the following TV programs might the passage be adapted for?AHobbies & Leisure BEveryday TipsCDigital Stadium DDiscoveriesOne stormy night many years ago，an elderly man and his wife entered the hall of a small hotel in Philadelphia.Trying to get out of the rain，they came the front desk hoping to get some shelter for the night.“Could you possibly give us a room here？” the husband asked.The clerk，a friendly man with a winning smile，looked at the couple and explained that there were three conventions in town.“All of our rooms are taken，” the clerk said.“But I cant send a nice couple like you out into the rain at one oclock in the morning.Would you perhaps be willing to sleep in my room？Its not exactly a suite，but it will be good enough to make you folks comfortable for the night.”When the couple declined，the young man pressed on.“Dont worry about me；Ill make out just fine.” the clerk told them.So the couple agreed.As he paid his bill the next morning，the elderly man said to the clerk，“You are the kind of manager who should be the boss of the best hotel in the United States.Maybe someday Ill build one for you.” The clerk looked at them and smiled.The three of them had a good laugh.As they drove away，the elderly couple agreed that the helpful clerk was indeed exceptional，as finding people who are both friendly and helpful isnt easy.Two years passed.The clerk had almost forgotten the incident when he received a letter from the old man.It recalled that stormy night and enclosed a roundtrip ticket to New York，asking the young man to pay them a visit.The old man met him in New York，and led him to the corner of Fifth Avenue and 34th street.He then pointed to a great new building there，a pale reddish stone，with turrets and watchtowers thrusting up to the sky.“That，” said the older man，“is the hotel I have just built for you to manage.” “You must be joking，” the young man said.“I can assure you I am not，”said the older man，a sly smile playing around his mouth.The older mans name was William Waldorf Astor，and that magnificent structure was the original WaldorfAstoria Hotel.The young clerk who became its first manager was George CBoldt.This young clerk never foresaw the turn of events that would lead him to become the manager of one of the worlds most glamorous hotels.6The purpose of the following author writing this story is to_.Agive people a good laughBcover some factsCpromote the business of WaldorfAstoria HotelDdeliver a lesson7Which of the following statements about the story is NOT true ?AThe story took place at about one am.BThe old couple was too poor to afford a luxurious room.CThe clerk was willing to help those in need.DThe clerk received an unexpected invitation from the old man.8The underlined word “conventions” in Para 3.can be replaced by_.Arooms BsuitesCmeetings Dhotels9Which of the following proverbs suits the story the best?AEvery little thing helps.BMake hay while the sun shines.CMan proposes；God disposes (处理，决定)DOne good turn deserves another.单项填空1D考查冠词。第一空强调美国南方的历史，用定冠词表特指；第二空表示“一段的历史”，用不定冠词。2C考查形容词辨析。troublesome令人烦恼的。attractive吸引人的；active活跃的；anxious焦虑的。3D考查短语辨析。once more再一次。4A考查短语辨析。take away拿走。take in欺骗；take over接管；take on接受，从事(某工作)。5D考查时态。由下文rides可知用一般现在时fades。介绍电影剧情往往用一般现在时。6A考查过去分词作状语。句子的主语TV programs与interrupt之间是逻辑上的被动关系，故用过去分词形式。句意为：电视节目每隔一段时间就会插播广告，令人厌烦。7C考查动词辨析。句意为：帮助那些有困难的人，他从来都不犹豫，因为他是一个善良的人。handle处理；hurry匆忙；determine决定，都与语境不符。8Bresign听任，顺从；compromise以折中方法解决争论；promise许诺；disguise伪装。根据句意，B为最佳答案。句意为：我想去希腊，可我妻子想去西班牙，于是我们折中了一下，去意大利。9D考查动词辨析。句意为：你已经是成年人了，所以由你来决定学英语还是法语。take off脱下，起飞，匆匆离开；take on开始，雇用，呈现，同较量，承担，从事；take in接受，吸收，包括，领会，理解，欺骗；take up开始从事，把继续下去，着手处理，占去。10Agenerally speaking一般来说。11A考查介词短语辨析。句意为：当他们到达那里时，他们发现遭受风暴袭击的人们需要食物和水。in want of意为“需要”；in praise of赞扬；in honour of纪念；in place of代替。12Chold down压制，限制；hold up推迟；耽搁；hold back阻挡，抑制；hold out提供，提出。句意为：为了阻挡风和沙尘，人们种了大量的树。13B此题考查交际用语，在回答对方的感谢时常用：my pleasure，its a pleasure。with pleasure很乐意做，多用在对方要求帮忙的时候。14Cmake ones acquaintance结识某人；与相见。15Cin amazement惊愕地。.阅读理解【语篇解读】本文介绍了斑马的特点与生活习性。1A推理判断题。第一段中，作者在介绍了为什么斑马会有黑白条纹的一种解释后说，This，however，is just a theory，由此可以推知对此人们有不同的解释，故选A。2B词义猜测题。最后一段主要讲了斑马的生活习性。由第一句中and后面的内容可知，herbivores的意思是“食草动物”。3C细节理解题。最后一段说，斑马一天要花很多的时间吃草，牙齿被磨损得很厉害，所以它们的牙齿一生都在不断地生长，由此可知C项正确，牙齿不断在生长，故总能保持强健。4B细节判断题。由第一段最后一句可知，斑马身上的条纹可以迷惑食肉动物。5D细节推断题。本文讲述了斑马条纹的功能、自我保护与生活习性，如若改编为电视节目，那么“探索与发现(Discoveries)”再合适不过；因为“探寻自然界的神奇奥秘”是该纪录片的宗旨之一。而A(爱好与休闲)、B(每日提示)及C(数码广场)均与本文主题相去甚远。【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。多年前的一个深夜，一位老人和他的妻子在雨中来到费城的一家小旅馆住宿，可是旅店已经住满了。为了不让老人在雨中四处奔波，该旅店的一位员工将自己的房间腾出来给夫妻俩住。两年后，这位老人将自己新建的华尔道夫饭店交给该员工打理。一个小小的善举使该员工成了世界豪华酒店的经理。6D考查写作目的。本文讲述一个默默无闻的旅馆小职员在雨夜将自己的房间提供给客人住宿，并由此受到客人的感激，成为世界豪华酒店的经理的故事。可谓“送人滴水之恩，得到涌泉相报”，由此可推知本文的写作意图是D。7B考查推理判断。从文章开头的叙述可知，这两位老人到达该旅馆的时候是凌晨1点，而且当时镇上有三个会议，再结合倒数第二段中老人将新建的豪华酒店交由该店员管理等信息可推知，老人夫妻俩并非无钱住豪华的房间，故B项错误。8C考查词义猜测。从画线词的语境和选项看，该词与镇上的旅馆客满有关，因此这里表示有三个“会议”同时在该镇举行，而不是三个“房间、套间、旅馆”。9D考查推理判断。从故事情节的发展不难判断选D。这个职员的热心帮助换来了被帮助人的厚报，使他成为世界豪华酒店的经理，这正应验了“好人有好报”。
