16、ng about what to do now that you have lost your falcon (獵鷹), Frightful.

19、 sources.But I love my tree and my mountaintop. Another solution would be to become farmers, like the people of the Iroquois Confederacy who once lived here.They settled in villages and planted corn and squash (南瓜), bush beans and berries.We already grow groundnuts in the damp soil and squash in th

24、 sit down.I breathe deeply of the mountain air and try to solve my problem more realistically. 語(yǔ)篇解讀：本文是一篇記敘文。作者在失去了幫助他捕獲獵物的老鷹后，自己和妹妹吃的肉就成了問(wèn)題。他選擇了一條比較長(zhǎng)的路回家，一路上他一直在思考怎樣處理這個(gè)問(wèn)題。文章主要是描述了他回家的路上的一些心理活動(dòng)。 5．What does this excerpt (節(jié)選) main describe? A．Delicate mental activities. B．Unique story environmen

25、t. C．Complicated character relationship. D．Everchanging story events. 解析：選A　主旨大意題。通讀全文可以看到文章中存在著大量的心理描寫(xiě)，其實(shí)全篇文章都是主人公的心理動(dòng)態(tài)，所以答案A是正確的。 6．What is Sams first worry? A．The shortest way to go back. B．Survival for Alice and himself. C．The safety of Frightful. D．How to get enough venison. 解析：選B　推理判斷

26、題。根據(jù)first worry定位到第二段中的“I have a problem.I have to provide my younger sister Alice and myself with meat.Fish, nuts, and vegetables are good and necessary, but they dont provide enough fuel for the hard physical work we do.”哥哥思考的是如何給自己和妹妹提供肉，因?yàn)橛腥獠拍芴峁┳銐虻哪芰咳プ鲶w力活。所以哥哥的擔(dān)憂是如何讓自己和妹妹活下去。 7．What do we know

27、about Frightful? A．He left Sam and Alice due to lack of food. B．He helped Sam hunt before being taken away. C．He is living with the redtailed hawk happily. D．He is giving birth to babies in the university. 解析：選B　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段第一句中的“start thinking about what to do now that you have lost your falcon

28、 (獵鷹), Frightful.”可知：失去了Frightful，你就必須思考接下去該怎樣做，然后第二段又提到作者面臨的問(wèn)題是如何給自己和妹妹提供肉，所以Frightful在丟失之前幫助過(guò)他捕獵。 8．Which of the following can best describe Sam? A．Humorous.　　　　 B．Aggressive. C．Responsible. D．Unrealistic. 解析：選C　推理判斷題。作為哥哥他苦惱著自己與妹妹的生存，考慮著他們未來(lái)的食物來(lái)源可見(jiàn)，他是十分負(fù)責(zé)任的。 C (2019徐州、淮安、連云港一模)When a cater

29、pillar (毛蟲(chóng)) pretends to be a snake to keep off potential predators (捕食者), it should probably expect to be treated like one.This is exactly what happened in Costa Rica earlier this year, when researchers witnessed a hummingbird defending its nest from what it interpreted to be a snake, but was actual

30、ly a caterpillar, which was feeding on a leaf above the nest. These caterpillars resemble flat dried leaves as adults.They can expand the top of their heads to expose a pair of eyespots that discourage potential predators.When disturbed, they raise their head up and move from side to side, increasi

31、ng the snake like appearance.In particular they resemble a green parrot snake, known to feed on nesting birds. Hummingbirds have a few styles of flying: visiting flowers, feeding on some tiny insects, chasing each other, and mating territory (領(lǐng)土) display flights.Mobbing (圍攻) behavior directed again

32、st a threat to their nest is much less common but easy to recognize if you know their flight behaviors. The interaction of the caterpillar and the humming birds took place in Costa Rica.The comings and goings of the female hummingbird around its nest may have disturbed the caterpillar, causing it t

33、o expose its eyespots, which in turn caused the hummingbird to defend its nest using what is referred to as “mobbing behavior” by birds. The caterpillar was unable to feed during the 26 minutes of nearly continuous attacks.Most of the birds movements were cautious, but included quick attacks to pec

34、k or bite the eyespots. It was difficult for either the bird or caterpillar to withdraw from the standoff (僵局), with the hummingbird protecting its nest and the caterpillar just trying to finish its leafy meal.Eventually the caterpillar gave up on eating and crawled away while still under attack, a

35、nd the hummingbird continued normal nesting behavior. When birds exhibit this mobbing behavior targeting snakes eyes, it often ends with snakes being killed by repeated bites and pecks near the head.As for creatures that imitate snakes to protect themselves from being eaten, can they in turn protec

36、t themselves? Because the hummingbird behavior was typical antisnake behavior, it can be considered replicable (可復(fù)制的)． Future studies of this behavior can be conducted using a tiny, caterpillar robot.It should be remote controlled, light enough to attach to a leaf or stem, and wireless.With such a

37、robot, researchers could vary the eye like nature and contrast of spots on the head of the robot to test various responses of nestdefending birds.A study like this could definitively test the effects of eye like versus other imitating patterning for exciting the defensive attacks. And, it turns out

38、 that the caterpillar feeds on a leaf on the same plant, as far away from the nest as possible! 語(yǔ)篇解讀：本文主要講述了毛蟲(chóng)為了保護(hù)自己裝扮成蛇吃鳥(niǎo)巢上面的樹(shù)葉而蜂鳥(niǎo)為了保護(hù)自己的巢穴圍攻毛蟲(chóng)，二者為了各自的利益互不退縮的故事。 9．What do we know about caterpillars and hummingbirds from the passage? A．They belong to the same species. B．They are natural enemies

39、 of each other. C．They are insects and birds respectively. D．They compete against each other for territory. 解析：選C　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)caterpillar后面括號(hào)內(nèi)的中文注解以及hummingbirds這個(gè)單詞中的bird就可以知道他們分別是昆蟲(chóng)和鳥(niǎo)兒。 10．Hummingbirds will show their mobbing behaviors when visitors ________. A．a(chǎn)re picking flowers B．a(chǎn)re chasing

40、each other C．interrupt their eating leaves D．set foot on their territories 解析：選D　推理判斷題。根據(jù)mobbing behaviors定位到文章第四段最后一句“... which in turn caused the hummingbird to defend its nest using what is referred to as ‘mobbing behavior’ by birds.”可知，蜂鳥(niǎo)用鳥(niǎo)類(lèi)的“圍攻行為”來(lái)保衛(wèi)自己的巢穴，所以當(dāng)游客侵犯他們的領(lǐng)地的時(shí)候，他們會(huì)圍攻游客。 11．Why is

41、neither the hummingbird nor the caterpillar willing to withdraw at first? A．Because the hummingbird is trying to finish its leafy meal. B．Because the caterpillar is protecting the hummingbirds nest. C．Because they behave in this way out of their own interest. D．Because there is a green parrot sn

42、ake watching them. 解析：選C　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第六段可知，蜂鳥(niǎo)需要保護(hù)巢穴，毛蟲(chóng)為了進(jìn)食所以僵持不下，他們的表現(xiàn)都是出于保護(hù)自身的利益。 12．A tiny caterpillar robot can be used to ________. A．imitate the antisnake behavior B．test nestdefending birds responses C．take control of the snakes behavior D．guard against the defensive attacks 解析：選B　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段倒數(shù)第二句中“to test various responses of nestdefending birds”可知答案。 7
