2019-2020年高考英语二轮复习 阅读理解（十一月）练习（6）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。In my living room, there is a plaque (匾) that advises me to “Bloom (开花) where you are planted.” It reminds me of Dorothy. I got to know Dorothy in the early 1980s, when I was teaching Early Childhood Development through a program with Union College in Barbourville, Kentucky. The job responsibilities required occasional visits to the classroom of each teacher in the program. Dorothy stands out in my memory as one who “bloomed” in her remote area.Dorothy taught in a school in Harlan County, Kentucky, Appalachian Mountain area. To get to her school from the town of Harlan, I followed a road winding around the mountain. In the eightmile journey, I crossed the same railroad track five times, giving the possibility of getting caught by the same train five times. Rather than feeling excited by this drive through the mountains, I found it depressing. The poverty level was shocking and the small shabby houses gave me the greatest feeling of hopelessness.From the moment of my arrival at the little school, all gloom (忧郁) disappeared. Upon arriving at Dorothys classroom, I was greeted with smiling faces and treated like a queen. The children had been prepared to show me their latest projects. Dorothy told me with a big smile that they were serving poke greens salad and cornbread for “dinner” (lunch). In case you dont know, poke greens are a weedtype plant that grows wild, especially on poor ground.Dorothy never ran out of reports of exciting activities of her students. Her enthusiasm never cooled down. When it came time to sit for the testing and interviewing required to receive her Child Development Associate Certification, Dorothy was ready. She came to the assessment and passed in all areas. Afterward, she invited me to the oneandonly steak house in the area to celebrate her victory, as if she had received her Ph.D. degree. After the meal, she placed a little box containing an old pen in my hand. She said it was a family heirloom (传家宝), but to me it is a treasured symbol of appreciation and pride that cannot be matched with things.61“Early Childhood Development” in Paragraph 1 refers to _ A. a program directed by Dorothy B. a course given by the author C. an activity held by the students D. an organization sponsored by Union College62In the journey, the author was most disappointed at seeing _ A. the long track B. the poor houses C. the same train D. the winding road63Upon arriving at the classroom, the author was cheered up by _ A. a warm wele B. the sight of poke greens C.

She got a pen as a gift from the author. C. She passed the required assessment. D. She received her Ph.D. degree.65What does the author mainly intend to tell us? A. Whatever you do, you must do it carefully. B. Whoever you are, you deserve equal treatment. C. However poor you are, you have the right to education. D. Wherever you are, you can acplish your achievement.【要点综述】 Dorothy在一所条件非常差的学校获得了很大的成功，这说明一个人获得成功与他在什么地方没有直接关系，最重要的是要付出努力。61. B细节理解题。 根据文章第一段第三句可知，Early Childhood Development是作者教的一门课程。62.

But hope is not lost! According to the report, the species can be saved if immediate action is taken to control their natural predators (天敌) and other threats.The threatened animals can be found in the faraway Kimberley region of northwestern Australia. The region is similar in square miles to California. Thirty percent of the endangered species are unique to the region, while others have already disappeared in other parts of Australia.Dr. Tara Martin, a research scientist said in the report, “A large extinction event is happening in Australia. The north has really been the last stronghold (主要栖息地) for many species of birds and mammals and reptiles. The Kimberley is really their last chance on earth.”Many of the species are under threat because they are hunted by wild cats. These cats kill around 500 000 native animals in the Kimberley region every day. The species face another threat, too. Their native habitat is also being destroyed by wildfires and by wild donkeys and goats that pete for food and water. Humans introduced cats, donkeys and goats to Australia to be farm animals or pets. However, their populations have exploded in the region because they have few natural predators.The report calls for $ 95 million to immediately start protection programs. The report also suggests reducing wild donkey and goat populations in the region, building fences, fighting wildfires and educating the munity about how to help the endangered species. Richard Hobbs, an ecologist at the University of Western Australia, says the costs are worthwhile because the measures will not be too difficult to carry out.文章大意：本文是一篇调查报告。在澳大利亚有多达45种稀有动物在接下来的二十年里将会灭绝。报告主要讲述了这些物种所面临的危险并提出了保护它们应该采取的一些措施。13Which of the following should be done to protect the rare species of Australian animals?AProviding new habitat for them.BSupplying more food and water to them.CGetting rid of the dangers to them.DLeading them to the north of Australia for a better life.答案：C细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句中“the species can be saved. to control their natural predators (天敌) and other treats”可知，我们人类应当立即帮助这些珍稀物种去除威胁它们生存的因素。故C项正确。14Paragraphs 23 mainly tell us _.Awhere the threatened animals can be foundBhow worrying the situation of the rare animals isCthe Kimberley is the home of many rare speciesDthe Kimberley is a safe place for animals to live答案：B段落大意题。根据第二段最后一句“. while others have already disappeared in other parts of Australia.”和第三段最后一句“The Kimberley is really their last chance on earth.”可知，文章此处告诉我们稀有动物的处境是多么危险。故B项正确。15The article may appear in a magazine on _.Aanimals BgeographyCchemistry Dhistory答案：A推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了一些地方动物的危险处境，所以最有可能出现在杂志中的动物栏中。故A项正确。
