Ⅰ.语法填空
Florida is the state where Americans and immigrants choose most 1.　　　　 (settle). The latest research shows population continues to move from north to south in America. Florida 2.　　　　 (expect) to add five million new residents by 2030, according to the state’s Office of Economic and Demographic Research. While Florida is growing, the states of Illinois, Ohio and Michigan have lost the largest numbers of residents.
In 2014, Florida’s population 3.　　　　 (grow) by over 108,000 people. The 4.　　　　 (large) group 5.　　　　 (pack) their bags for the “Sunshine State” are young people right out of college. Florida has big metropolitan areas. It has good job 6.　　　　 (opportunity). That’s 7.　　　　 people are moving to Florida.
Florida’s population increased over 17 percent between 2000 8.　　　　 2010, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. 20 percent of Florida’s population are foreign immigrants. Nearly 74 percent of the immigrants are from Latin America. Another 20 percent of foreigners relocating are from Europe and Asia. The state’s economy is staying healthy due 9.　　　　 the population movement. Latino and Asian immigrants are adding $150 billion worth of purchases each year. Other American states that have been named as being 10.　　　　 (attraction) by movers were Texas, South Carolina and North Carolina.
答案及剖析:
1.to settle　考查非谓语动词。choose to do sth.意为“决定做某事”。
2.is expected　考查动词的时态和语态。根据句意应用一般现在时,句子的主语与动词之间为被动关系,所以用被动语态。
3.grew　考查动词的时态。根据时间状语In 2014可知谓语动词用一般过去时。
4.largest　考查形容词。由句意判断此处需用最高级形式。
5.packing　考查非谓语动词。packing their bags for the “Sunshine State”为现在分词短语作定语,与被修饰的名词之间构成主动关系。
6.opportunities　考查名词。opportunity为可数名词,表示大量的“机会”用复数。
7.why　考查连接词。表示人们搬迁到佛罗里达的原因,故用why引导表语从句。
8.and　考查连词。between...and...表示“在……与……之间”。
9.to　考查介词。due to为固定搭配,意为“由于”。
10.attractive　考查形容词。as为介词,后接being attractive作宾语。be named as being attractive 表示“被认定具有吸引力”。
Ⅱ.阅读理解
Scientists say a huge percentage of bird species are in danger because their habitats,or homelands,are disappearing.
Traditional migration(迁徙) paths take birds through countries that are not protecting the places for birds to stop,rest and feed.The scientists studied the migration or flight paths of almost 1,500 species.They decided that 91 percent of them passed through dangerous areas.
The major danger for migratory birds is development. Buildings and pavements have covered the places where birds stop and feed as they move from one part of the world to another.One of the scientists who worked on the study says “many of these important places have been lost to land reclamation owing to urban,industrial and agricultural land expansion”.
The problem, according to scientists, is that many of these small birds die along their migration paths because they don’t have a safe place to feed and rest. There is no place to restore their energy for the next part of their journey.Countries in North Africa, Central Asia and those along the coasts of East Asia are having the most difficult time-conserving land. The scientists say these countries do not have enough areas that are safe for birds.One species that doesn’t exist now is the Eskimo curlew.“Our world gets poorer every time we lose a species,”one of the scientists says.
The researchers say countries need to work together and come up with safe stopping areas for birds that pass through their boundaries.For example, one country might have preserved safe zones for migrating birds. But a neighbor country might not. A bird might die.
One scientist who is not connected with the report tells Los Angeles Times that while some habitats are changing, more work can be done to make urban areas safe for birds.
He says small changes,like planting more native plants or keeping cats out of the areas birds would be likely to use,could make a big difference.
1.The disappearance of the bird habitats is mainly caused by 　　　　.
A.the loss of land and water
B.development
C.filling seas to grow grain
D.the change of climate
2.What do the underlined words “land reclamation”in Paragraph 3 mean
A.Making land suitable for farming or building.
B.Causing the land quality to get worse.
C.The disappearance of good land.
D.Abusing the farming land.
3.Many birds die on the way of migration mainly because they 　　　　.
A.are harmed by humans
B.have no safe place to rest and eat
C.have to take a long journey
D.are killed by other animals
4.According to the researchers,how can we protect the migrating birds
A.By keeping fewer cats or dogs.
B.By stopping the urban development.
C.By preserving the local ecological environments.
D.By helping change the birds’ migration paths.
语篇解读:城市化建设和工农业发展,使得候鸟栖息地遭到严重破坏,这将直接导致大量鸟类物种的消失。
答案及剖析:
1.B　推理判断题。根据第二段中的The major danger for migratory birds is development. Buildings and pavements have covered the places where birds stop and feed和many of these important places have been lost to land reclamation owing to urban,industrial and agricultural land expansion可知,导致大量鸟类栖息地消失的主要原因是发展,具体表现在城镇、工业和农业用地的扩张。
2.A　词义猜测题。根据该部分所在位置的前后内容可知,land reclamation意为“土地开垦”,故选项A的表述符合该词义。
3.B　细节理解题。根据第四段中的The problem, according to scientists, is that many of these small birds die along their migration paths because they don’t have a safe place to feed and rest. There is no place to restore their energy for the next part of their journey可知,迁徙中死去的鸟主要是因为在迁徙途中没有可供休息和进食的安全地点。
4.C　推理判断题。文章最后三段是说,各国需要合作,为路过的鸟类提供安全的栖息地。各国可以做一些工作,把该国的城镇区域变成鸟类安全的栖息地。结合最后所列举的两项举措我们可推知,要保护好迁徙的鸟类,我们就要保护好地方生态环境。

(2017吉林通化第一次质检)
One rainy day while I was walking home with one of my friend, a truck came to a stop besides us. The driver put the window down and offered us the umbrella because he found we were wet through. I stood there and couldn’t believe in that a complete stranger is so thoughtful. The man insisted, so I grateful accepted the offer, thanked him and watched the truck disappear down the road. This man might need the umbrella himself, and he preferred to give it to everyone else. It was a lesson to us that it was possible give without expect anything in return.
答案:One rainy day while I was walking home with one of my , a truck came to a stop us. The driver put the window down and offered us umbrella because he found we were wet through. I stood there and couldn’t believe
that a complete stranger so thoughtful. The man insisted, so I accepted the offer, thanked him and watched the truck disappear down the road. This man might need the umbrella himself, he preferred to give it to else. It was a lesson to us that it was possible give without anything in return.
剖析:one of 后用名词复数形式。
表示“在……旁边”用beside。
umbrella 表泛指,故用不定冠词。
动词believe为及物动词,后可直接跟that从句作宾语。believe in意思是“信任(某人),相信(鬼神等的存在)”,在此处意思不对。
主从句时态须一致,故用一般过去时。
分析句子结构可知,谓语动词accepted缺少状语,故用副词。
前后句子为转折关系,故用but。
表示“别人,其他人”用someone/somebody else。
句型 It is/was possible to do sth.意为“可能做某事”。
without 为介词,后接v.-ing形式作宾语。
