(2024·江西省撫州五校高三第六次聯(lián)考)
The Keel-billed Toucan (彩虹巨嘴鳥) is also known as the Rainbow-billed Toucan because of the colourful bill that the Keel-billed Toucan has.The Keel-billed Toucan’s bill can reach lengths of nearly 20 cm and is around one third of the length of the Keel-billed Toucan’s body.The Keel-billed Toucan’s bill is one of the most colourful bills in the bird world，and it’s more a green colour than anything else.
As with other species of toucans，the size of the Keel-billed Toucan’s bill does not affect the balance of the bird itself
as its bill is made out of keratin，which is very light but still
very strong.
The Keel-billed Toucan is native to the jungles of South
America where it lives in holes in the trees，often with several other Keel-billed Toucans.In order to make sure that there is
enough space for them all，the Keel-billed Toucan group all sleep with their bill and tail under their body to create more room for the other birds.
The Keel-billed Toucan has a diet with large quantities of different kinds of fruit.However，because of the surprising dexterity of its bill，the Keel-billed Toucan also eats bird eggs and insects，if there’s not enough fruit.
The Keel-billed Toucan is an extremely sociable bird and is very hard to be seen on its own.As well as nesting together，the Keel-billed Toucan travels in small groups.Different from what people think though，the Keel-billed Toucan is not very good at flying and does most of its moving about by jumping between the tree branches.
A female Keel-billed Toucan lays between 1 and 5 eggs in
the hole of a tree，which usually hatch within a few weeks.Both the male and female Keel-billed Toucan hatch the eggs
and both Keel-billed Toucan parents also feed and look after
their babies until they are old enough and strong enough to protect themselves.
1．What will make you difficult to forget when you first see the Keel-billed Toucan?
A．Its green colour. B．Its long and colourful bill.
C．Its fruit diet.D．Its colourful feather.
2．How does the Keel-billed Toucan save space for other birds?
A．By sleeping with others closely.
B．By finding a bigger hole in the tree.
C．By sleeping in groups of more than three.
D．By putting certain organs under their body.
3．According to the passage，people often think that the Keel-billed Toucan________.
A．can fly very well
B．won’t eat bird eggs
C．often lives alone D．often jumps around
4．After the Keel-billed Toucan’s babies are born，the babies are looked after________.
A．by other birds
B．only by female Keel-billed Toucans
C．by both parents
D．only by male Keel-billed Toucans
5．Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of the bird?
A．Living in groups.
B．Reproducing by eggs.
C．Fully vegetarians.
D．Responsible for their offsprings.
課時作業(yè)(三十六)
Ⅰ.單項填空
1．解析： 考查情景交際。句意為：——我很抱歉地告訴你辦公室亂七八糟。今天你值日。——對不起，我馬上打掃。由語境可知，是由于自己的疏忽沒有值日才使辦公室一團糟，故這里應(yīng)表示道歉之意。B項符合語境。
答案： B
2．解析： 考查代詞辨析。句意為：——你想去看那部電影嗎？據(jù)說相當(dāng)不錯?！铱峙氯ゲ涣恕Ｎ医裉煨那椴缓?。make it為常用口語表達，根據(jù)情景不同有不同的意思，在此意為“辦到，做到”。
答案： B
3．解析： 考查冠詞。語意為：Henry作為一個駕駛學(xué)員是失敗的，因為他又一次沒有通過駕駛考試。a failure表示“一個失敗者”，此處failure表示“失敗的人”，其前用不定冠詞a；the driving test特指“駕駛考試”，第二空用定冠詞the。
答案： C
4．解析： 考查名詞辨析。句意為：——我確實想給你簽證，但你知道我們的規(guī)定非常嚴(yán)格。——真遺憾！但還是謝謝你。A項意為“習(xí)慣”；B項意為“海關(guān)，習(xí)俗”；C項意為“規(guī)章，規(guī)則，規(guī)定”；D項意為“目標(biāo)，靶子”。根據(jù)語境可知，答案選C。
答案： C
5．解析： 考查非謂語動詞。句意為：據(jù)說愚人節(jié)的傳統(tǒng)開始于十六世紀(jì)。分析句子成分可知，主語The April Fools’ tradition與start之間是主謂關(guān)系，故排除B、C兩項；又因start這一動作在謂語動詞動作之前已經(jīng)完成，故用不定式的完成式。
答案： D
6．解析： 考查介詞。句意為：盡管事實上很多的駕駛員都受過培訓(xùn)，但是我們再怎么強調(diào)交通安全的重要性也不為過。根據(jù)句意可知應(yīng)選B，表示“盡管”。C項、D項都是連詞，后只能跟句子；A項“幸虧，由于”，不符合句意。
答案： B
7．解析： 考查名詞辨析。句意為：好的教育體系應(yīng)該包括學(xué)生課堂所學(xué)知識的實際運用。A.應(yīng)用，申請；B.職業(yè)，占領(lǐng)；C.聯(lián)合；D.慶祝。根據(jù)句意可知，本句話強調(diào)知識要學(xué)以致用。
答案： A
8．解析： 考查句型。句意為：他突然想起來，他的父母現(xiàn)在應(yīng)該到北京了。此句中的it作形式主語，后面的從句為真正的主語。注意句型It occurred to sb.that...某人(突然)想起/想到……。
答案： B
9．解析： 考查名詞性從句。句意為：成功的人總是很聰明。他們能發(fā)現(xiàn)別人容易忽略的東西。賓語從句“________others easily ignore”缺少賓語，故選what。
答案： A
10．解析： make a life習(xí)慣于新的生活方式、工作等，符合題意。make sense講得通；明白；make progress取得進步；make one’s way向前。
答案： C
11．解析： 考查短語意義。句意為：失敗是成功之母，保持你的勇氣，你一定會成功的。keep up保持，符合題意。keep off不提(某話題)，避免；keep out遮掩，避開；keep on繼續(xù)。
答案： C
12．解析： 考查動詞的時態(tài)和語態(tài)。句意為：在過去的幾個星期里，中國北方的許多城市一直遭受著濃霧天氣，給人們帶來了極大的不便。由“In the past several weeks”可知，此處應(yīng)用現(xiàn)在完成進行時，表示從過去某一時間開始一直延續(xù)到現(xiàn)在，可能還要繼續(xù)下去，且many cities與suffer之間是邏輯上的主謂關(guān)系，故B項正確。
答案： B
13．解析： 句意為：——布朗小姐很忙，是嗎？——是的，她很忙。到現(xiàn)在為止她又承擔(dān)了更大的責(zé)任。take off起飛，騰飛，脫下；take out拿出，取出；take in吸收，領(lǐng)會，欺騙；take on承擔(dān)，呈現(xiàn)出，雇傭。take on responsibility承擔(dān)責(zé)任，符合語境。
答案： D
14．解析： 考查非謂語動詞。句意為：當(dāng)我回到家時，我看到門上別著一張紙條，上面寫著“很遺憾沒有見到你；晚會兒我會打電話給你。”note與read之間是邏輯上的主謂關(guān)系，故用read的現(xiàn)在分詞形式。read表示“寫著”。
答案： D
15．解析： 考查交際用語。根據(jù)答語中第二句的內(nèi)容可知，應(yīng)選B，意為“不是”。
答案： B
?、?完形填空
語篇解讀 “我”家小狗死了，繼父為了不影響“我”的考試，隱瞞了一周，為此“我”感到很生氣。后來，媽媽的一句話讓我感到非常慚愧，因為“我”只顧自己的感受，卻忽視了他人的痛苦。
1．解析： 一開始，她肚子上的腫瘤惡化了，她很痛苦(painful)。
