　　1．but　[考查連詞。空前語境為：青蒿在中國是一種常見的植物；空后語境為：它有治愈致命疾病——瘧疾的能力。根據空處前后語境可以判斷，兩句為轉折關系，故用轉折連詞but。]

　　2．is　[考查時態和主謂一致。根據該句中的“who uses the plant’s special power”可知，該句應用一般現在時。又因主語為Tu Youyou，故用is。]

　　3．to receive　[考查動詞不定式。根據該句中的“the first native Chinese person”可以判斷，該句應用動詞不定式作person的后置定語。]

　　4．it　[考查it的用法。分析該句結構可知，動詞不定式短語to fight for the health of all humans作真正的主語，it作形式主語。]

　　5．that/which　[考查定語從句。分析該句結medicine，空處在從句中作主語，故用which或that引導該定語從句。]

　　6．medicines　[考查名詞的數。根據該句中的them可以判斷，空處應用復數形式。]

　　7．by/on/at/in　[考查介詞。by hand意為“用手”；on hand，at hand，in hand意為“在手頭”。根據語境可知這四個介詞都對。]

　　8．returned　[考查時態。根據下句的“Her little daughter didn’t

　　recognize her”可知，這里陳述的是過去的事情，故用一般過去時。]

　　9．trying　[考查非謂語動詞。spend time doing sth 為固定搭配，意為“花費時間做某事”，故用trying。]

　　10．from　[考查動詞短語。suffer from為固定搭配，意為“(因疾病、痛苦等)受折磨”

　　Ⅰ.閱讀理解

　　These days, there are very few wild animals left

　　in the UK. The wolves have gone. The bears have been hunted to extinction.

　　Fortunately, there are a few badgers ()—Oh, well, actually, not for long as the British government has just decided to kill them too! But why?

　　Badgers are fascinating creatures.

　　The black and white mammals live underground in “setts”， which they dig out of the earth. They are extremely brave, fighting off larger animals such as bears and wolves.

　　The problem is that some badgers carry “Bovine Tuberculosis”(BTB), an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium Bovis (M. Bovis) which can cause TB in some other animals, including cattle.

　　For farmers, this is a serious issue. In 1998 in the UK, almost 6 000 cows were killed to control the disease. And in 2010, more than 30 000 animals were destroyed. It's expensive too. Bovine TB costs the UK about ￡100 million per year. And some believe that the disease could end up costing the economy ￡9 billion over the next 40 years if nothing is done about it.

　　Experts say that badgers are responsible for about 50% of the infected cattle.

　　So, after much debate, the government has agreed to a badger cull (殺戮). This will mean about 30 000 of the innocent creatures will be wiped out to fight the disease.

　　Environment Secretary Caroline Spelman admitted that there was

　　“great strength of feeling”

　　about it, but said, “I believe this is the right way forward.”

　　Of course, many are against the measure, including conservationists and animal rights activists. They claim that killing the badgers in controlled zones wouldn't work because badgers from neighboring areas would simply move into the empty setts and become infected too. Furthermore, they believe that the way cattle are raised intensively, and transported around to lots of different farms during their lives is probably the biggest cause of the spread of the disease.

　　Most ordinary people are against the measure too. A survey suggests about twothirds are against killing the badgers, with majorities against killing them regardless of age, region and gender. One of the alternatives to the cull involves using vaccine (疫苗) on badgers. However, this costs an average of ￡2 250 per year per square kilometer. Trapping and shooting badgers costs ￡2 500 per year, but shooting freerunning badgers only costs about ￡200 per year (per square kilometer)．

　　So, with that in mind, it's easy to see how the government arrived at their decision. Money talks!

　　文章大意：本文是一篇資訊報道。在英國，一些獾身上攜帶TB病菌，這種病菌會傳播給牲畜，從而給農民帶來巨大的損失。政府不顧多數人的反對，決定采取行動來殺掉獾，因為對他們來說，這樣做的代價相對來說較低。

　　1．Why does the government want to kill the badgers?

　　A．Because there is no other choice to cut the spread of the disease.

　　B．Because badgers carry TB, a disease which can infect other animals.

　　C．Because they almost wiped out an entire population of cattle.

　　D．Because it might be an effective way to fight TB at the least expense.

　　答案：D　細節理解題。根據文章第二段中第四句“The problem is that some badgers carry ‘Bovine Tuberculosis’ (BTB)．..”及倒數第二段最后一句“... shooting freerunning badgers only costs about ￡200 per year (per square kilometer)．”可知，殺死獾可能是以最低價來對抗TB傳播的有效辦法。故答案選D。

　　2．Which of the following statements is TRUE?

　　A．Some people object to culling because it costs much more to trap and shoot badgers.

　　B．In the following four decades, ￡9 billion will be spent on TB.

　　C．Based on the survey, people of different age groups, regions and both genders are against

　　killing the badgers.

　　D．Caroline Spelman thought badgers should be culled despite people's strong reaction.

　　答案：C　細節理解題。根據倒數第二段第二句“A survey suggests about twothirds are against killing the badgers, with majorities against killing them regardless of age, region and gender.”可知，一項調查表明來自不同年齡、地區和性別的人，大多數都反對屠殺獾。故答案選C。

　　3．Who is strongly for killing the badgers according the passage?

　　A．The government.

　　B．Most ordinary people.

　　C．Conservationists.

　　D．Animal rights activists.

　　答案：A　細節理解題。根據文章第四、五、六段及文章最后一段中“it's easy to see how the government arrived at their decision. Money talks！”可知，政府對屠殺獾是非常支持的，因為這樣做的代價最低。故答案選A。

　　4．What is the author's attitude toward government's decision?

　　A．Supportive.

　　B．Critical.

　　C．Objective.

　　D．Unconcerned.

　　答案：B　推理判斷題。根據文章第一段最后一句中“actually, not for long as the British government has just decided to kill them too！”及最后一段“So, with that in mind, it's easy to see how the government arrived at their decision. Money talks！”可知，政府不顧多數人的反對，只考慮錢的問題。從中可以看出，作者對政府的決定是持批評態度。故答案選B。

　　5．Which is the best title for the passage?

　　A．The Control of TB

　　B．The Voice of the Badgers

　　C．Badger Danger

　　D．The Threat of the Badgers

　　答案：C　標題概括題。通讀全文可知，文章主要講了英國政府不顧人們的反對，已經決定殺死獾，從而使獾處于危險之中。因此，短文的最佳標題應是Badger Danger。故答案選C。

　　(2024·貴陽市適應性檢測考試)

　　Choose your wish list

　　It's normal for any student's college wish list to change throughout high school. But when it comes time to apply, many seniors have a hard time narrowing down their choices.

　　There's no hard and fast answer, but there are several things you can do and ask yourself to make the decision easier. Here are three pieces of advice that might help.

　　Do your research

　　Above all, it's important to figure out your wants and needs. What do you expect from your education? What are you willing to give up?

　　Veronica Hauad, senior associate director of admissions (錄取) at the University of Chicago in the US, said students should start by taking time to figure_out those questions.

　　“Find the thing that's most important to you, and then you can start searching on that factor and sort things out later，” Hauad said.

　　Don't focus on rankings

　　It's easy to focus too hard on school rankings, but don't let that make your decision for you when you're looking at colleges. In the long run, rankings probably won't have a big effect on your education. It's OK to look at rankings, but don't obsess (過于執著) over them. Find colleges that really interest you. If they end up being on a top list, think of it as an extra pleasure.

　　Think about your future

　　Here's an important question to ask all of the colleges on your list: How many of your students find jobs after graduation? An Ivy League school may look good on an application, but what will the college do to help you find a job?

　　Students should also make sure they're going to college for the right reasons.

　　University of Illinois sophomore (二年級學生) Steve Wang said he has met students who aren't looking at the bigger picture. “I see a lot of students who go to college for the sake of the college experience — not for a higher education，” Wang explained. “So people show up and spend a lot of time at parties and not really paying attention to schoolwork. That's not really what college is for.”

　　1.When you apply to a college, you should ________.

　　A.find out what you really want

　　B.choose the best-known college

　　C.consider the things you can do

　　D.quit a chance for further study

　　2.What does the underlined part “figure out” in Paragraph

　　probably mean?

　　A.Let out.B.Look out.

　　C.Make out.

　　D.Check out.

　　3.Steve Wang spends his main time on ________.

　　A.part-time jobs

　　B.schoolwork

　　C.parties

　　D.college experiences

　　4.What is the passage mainly for?

　　A.Researchers.

　　B.Educators.

　　C.Applicants.

　　D.Sophomores.

With my suitcase packed and some sandwiches in a bag, I started for the front door.

　　My mom asked where I was going. “I’m leaving home,” I said.

　　“What’s that you’re carrying?” she asked.

　　“Some clothes and food,” I replied.

　　“If you want to run away, that’s all right,” she said. “But you came into this home without anything and you can leave the same way.”

　　I threw my suitcase and sandwiches on the floor and started for the door again.

　　“Wait a minute,” Mom said. “You didn’t have any clothes on when you arrived, and I want them back.”

　　This infuriated me. I tore my clothes off — shoes, socks, underwear and all — and shouted, “Can I go now?”

　　“Yes,” my mom answered, “but once you close that door, don’t expect to come back.”

　　I was so angry that I shut the door forcefully and stepped out of my home. Then I noticed down the street two neighbor girls walking toward our house. I was so shy that I saw the big spruce (云杉) tree in our yard and jumped under the low-hanging branches. A pile of dried-up brown needles were beneath the tree, and you can’t imagine the pain those sharp needles caused to my body.

　　After I was sure the girls had passed by, I ran to the front door and knocked at it loudly.

　　“It’s Billy! Let me in!”

　　The voice behind the door answered, “Billy doesn’t live here anymore. He ran away from home.”

　　Looking behind me to see if anyone else was coming down the street, I said, “Mom! I’m sorry. I’m still your son. Let me in!”

　　The door opened and Mom’s smiling face appeared. “Did you change your mind about running away?” she asked.

　　“What’s for supper?” I smiled back.

　　1. When the author was leaving home, his mother ordered him to _____.

　　A. stay at home

　　B. take some sandwiches

　　C. leave everything behind

　　D. check his suitcase carefully

　　2. Which of the following can best describe the author’s mom?
