6However

7loss

8to protect

9will be killed/ is to be killed

10yearly

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明,新冠疫情的爆发导致经费紧张,使得野生动物的保护工作更加困难重重。

1

考查非谓语动词。句意:新冠疫情使得旅游业衰退,一些保护野生动物组织遭遇困难重重。threatenwildlife是逻辑动宾关系,应使用过去分词作定语,表被动,意为“受到威胁的”。故填threatened

2

考查名词。句意:保护野生动物的官员担心偷猎行为会攀升。此处指“保护野生动物的官员”,fear是谓语动词,使用了动词原形,主语应是复数形式。故填 officials

3

考查介词。句意:非洲犀牛长久以来遭受威胁,捕猎者猎杀它们来获取犀牛角。be under threat是固定搭配, 意为“在威胁之下,遭受威胁”。故填under

4

考查同位语从句。句意:在一些文化中人们认为犀牛角有药用价值,这一观念助长了非法交易。the horns have medicinal value which has not been proven by science是在介绍说明belief的具体内容,与前面belief是同位语关系;从句句意齐全,应使用只起连接作用、无实意的that引导。故填that

5

考查动词时态。句意:非洲黑犀牛的数量增长缓慢。increase这个动词是延续性动词,由句意可知,数量正在缓慢增长并且可能延续下去,可以用现在进行时表将来的趋势。另外也可以理解为 increase这个动作从过去开始发生持续到现在并会延续下去,可以用现在完成时或者现在完成进行时。故填is increasing/has been increasing/has increased

6

考查副词。句意:犀牛的回归部分归功于有效的执法。但是,执法措施的花费很大。前一句说执法是effective(有效的),后面又说是costly(昂贵的),前后形成反差,且有逗号和主句隔开,应使用转折副词however。故填 however

7

考查名词。句意:IUCN 今年预计会损失三百万到四百万美元,而这一损失会严重削弱他们保护犀牛的能力。limits是谓语动词,空格前是定冠词 the,因此空格处缺句子主语,应使用名词形式。故填loss

8

考查非谓语动词。句意:而这一损失会严重削弱他们保护犀牛的能力。此处是固定搭配:the ability to do sth.“有能力去做某事”。故填 to protect

9

考查动词时态和语态。句意:整个非洲的野生动物保护者都在观望,看猎捕者就如今的局势会作何回应,他们是否会杀害更多的珍稀野生动物。此处与how poachers will react to the current situation为并列关系,也应使用一般将来时;killwildlife之间是被动关系,应使用一般将来时的被动语态。故填 will be killed/is to be killed

10

考查形容词。句意:据IUCN报道,2012年至2018年间,黑犀牛的数量以每年2.5% 的速率在增长。此处修饰rate,应使用形容词,表示“每年的速率”。故填yearly

【题目】阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。续写词数为150字左右。

The spot of red was what first caught Randy Heiss’s attention on December 16, 2018. He was hiking the remote land behind his farm in a small town near the U.S.-Mexico border, and there lying on the grass was a balloon. He walked toward it with his dog, thinking he should pick it up and throw it away.

That’s when he noticed the balloon’s string was attached to a piece of paper. “Dayami,” it read on one side, in a child’s writing. Heiss flipped the paper over. On the back he saw a numbered list, all in Spanish. His Spanish wasn’t very good, but he could see it was a Christmas list!

Heiss was charmed. He suspected that a child had tried to send Santa Claus a Christmas wish list by balloon, something he used to do himself when he was a kid. Nobody had ever returned the letters Heiss had sent, but he wondered whether he could find the girl who had sent this one.

It would be difficult, but Heiss had a few clues. About 20 miles to the southwest, just across the border, was the city of Nogales, Mexico, with a population of about a quarter million. Based on the wind direction, he was almost sure that was where it came from. Heiss brought the note home to his wife, who is fluent in Spanish and helped him translate the list. They determined that Dayami, probably a girl, had asked for a doll, a dollhouse, doll clothes and art supplies.

Heiss then posted his search about finding Dayami on Facebook, attaching photos, hoping some of his friends in Nogales might know the girl’s family. A few days passed with no results; Heiss worried that time was running out before Christmas. On December 19, 2018, he decided to send a private Facebook message to Radio Xeny, an AM radio station based in Nogales. To his surprise, someone from the station called him back right away and promised him to post his search on the station’s Facebook page immediately.

Paragraph 1:

The next morning, Heiss awoke to a message from Radio Xeny.

【题目】 “Outer space is a frontier that inspires us and unites us more than anything else,” declared the US Assistant Secretary for Arms Control, Dr. Yleem Poblete. “And as we continue to push further into our own solar system, new businesses will be built to seize the endless possibilities before us.”

However, there are growing concerns about the possibility of intentional acts of aggression in space, warned Dr. Poblete. The United States has raised concerns for many years that Russia is seeking the development and placement of anti-satellite weapons. As recently as February 2017, a Russian Air Force Squadron Commander stated that Russia is developing new missiles with the intention of destroying satellites. Furthermore, we have read statements from the Russian Ministry of Defense that it is working on creating “a mobile attack anti-satellite system”.

Vladimir Putin (Russian President) has alluded to space weapons being more “acceptable in the political and military respect”. This behavior continues despite Russia stating many times that it places a high priority on the promotion of the draft “Treaty on the Prevention of the Placement of Weapons in Outer Space” or PPWT.

The problem with such a treaty, said Dr. Poblete, is that it's difficult to determine an object’s true purpose simply by observing it on orbit. At this time, there are no means of distinguishing many objects' behaviors from that of a weapon, making outer space arms control measures like those in the proposed PPWT impractical.

In short, said Poblete, the proposed PPWT does not reduce the potential for conflict from extending into outer space. Plus, Russia may be engaging in the very behavior it claims to seek to prohibit.

“We must take concrete steps to strengthen the stability and sustainability of space,” declared Dr. Poblete, “The draft PPWT is not the right approach to accomplishing that. It is a questionable document, proposed by a country [Russia] that has routinely violated its international commitments.”

1What does America suspect Russia is doing?

A.Launching satellites for spying.B.Trading space weapons illegally.

C.Making profits from exploring space.D.Causing threat to space stability.

2Which is one common difficulty for controlling space weapons?

A.They are hard to be identified.B.They are not regulated by common rules.

C.There are too many to be managed.D.There is disagreement between nations.

3What does Dr. Poblete think of PPWT?

A.It is not specific enough.B.It will worsen international relationships.

C.Russia itself fails to observe it.D.We must work together to promote it.

4What is mainly discussed in the passage?

A.Where the key to space safety lies.B.What alarms the US as to space safety.

C.Why space conflicts are difficult to avoid.D.Who is to blame for the chaos in outer space.
