14.Lions are opportunists.They prefer to eat without having to do too much work.When resting in the shade,they are also watching the sky to see what is flying by,and even in the heat of the day they wil suddenly start up and run a mile across the plains to find out what is going on.If another animal has made a kill,they will drive it off and take the dill for themselves.A grown lion can easily eat 60 pounds of meat at a single feeding.Often they eat until it seems painful for them to lie down.
The lionesses (母獅),being thinner and faster,are better hunters (獵手) than the males (雄獅).But the males don't mind.After the kill they move in and take the test share.
Most kills are made at night or just before daybreak.We have seen many,many daylight attempts but only ten kills.Roughly,it's about twenty daytime attempts for one kill.
When lions are hiding for an attack by a water hole,they wait patiently and can charge at any second.The kill is the exciting moment in the day-to-day life of the lion,since these great animals spend most of their time,about 20 hours a day,sleeping and resting.
Lions are social cats,and when they are having a rest,they love to touch each other.After drinking at a water hole,a lioness rests her head on another's back.When walking,young lions often touch faces with older ones,an act of close ties among members of the group.

28.By describing lions as"opportunists"in the first paragraph,the author means to say that lionsC.
A.a(chǎn)r cruel animals
B.a(chǎn)re clever animals
C.like to take advantage of other animals
D.like to take every chance to eat
29.According to the text,which of the following is true?B
A.Lions make most kills in the daytime.
B.Males care more about eating than active killing.
C.Lions are curious about things happening around them.
D.It doesn't take lions too much time to make a kill.
30.How can we know that lions are social animals?D
A.They depend on each other.
B.They look after each other well.
C.They readily share what they have.
D.They enjoy each other's company.
31.What would be the best title for the text?B
A.Powerful Lions
B.Lions at Work and Play
C.Lions,Social Cats
D.Lions,Skilled Hunters.

分析 這篇文章是講獅子在獵食和生活中的特性.

解答 28.C.解析:這是一道猜義題.根據(jù)第一段第二句"They prefer to eat without having to do too much work"和"If another animal has made a kill,they will drive it off and take the kill for them selves."可知獅子喜歡侵占其他動(dòng)物的獵物.Opportunists的意思是"機(jī)會(huì)主義者".故選C.
29.B.解析:這是一道判斷正誤題.根據(jù)"The lionesses are better hunters than the males"和"But the males don't mind.After the kill they move in and take the test share."可知雄獅捕食能力差但是吃得好.故選B.
30.D.解析:這是一道推理題.根據(jù)最后一句"an act of close ties among members of the group"和最后一段描述的獅群的行動(dòng)可以知道獅子很享受這種集體生活.故選D.
31.B.解析:這是一道主旨題.這篇文章是講獅子在獵食和生活中的特性,選項(xiàng)A過(guò)于抽象,不能表現(xiàn)文中描述的要點(diǎn),C和D都過(guò)于片面,只概括了其中一個(gè)部分,只有B比較全面和準(zhǔn)確.故選B.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本篇內(nèi)容比較適中,對(duì)于考生的能力要求不高,只要認(rèn)真細(xì)致閱讀,不難發(fā)現(xiàn)答案.可以先看題目再讀文章,這樣可以提高閱讀的速度.還要準(zhǔn)確定位考點(diǎn).特別是推理題,要結(jié)合上下文的暗示做題,掌握方法是關(guān)鍵.

How do you prefer English classes to be taught,in English only,or in both English and Chinese?
I prefer my English classes to be taught in English only.As we know,a good learning environment is vital if we want to study English well.(高分句型一)Classes taught in English provide students with such an environment.When Englishis the only language used in the classroom,students will have more opportunities to practice listening and speaking.Therefore,they will be able to learn more quickly.
However,there are also some problems with this teaching method.As we haven't mastered enough English words,sometimes we may find it difficult to follow the teacher.(高分句型二)Slow learners may even lose interest in English.
Practice makes perfect.To learn English well requires a lot of practice.Therefore,Ilike my English classes to be taught completely in English.
Or:
How do you prefer English classes to be taught?in English only,or in both English and Chinese?
I prefer my English classes to be taught in both Chinese and English.In my opinion,learning English is a step-by-step process.As middle school students,we only have a small vocabulary.If the teacher can use some Chinesein an English class,we will underst and the lesson better. (高分句型三)
Of course,an English class taught in two languages has its shortcomings.Such a class cannot create a good atmosphere for English learning.Some students will speak Chinese all the time and cannot learn English well.
If you want to learn a lesson well,you have to understand it first.To help students understand the lesson better,the teacher should use Chinese from time to time.(高分句型四)Therefore,Ilike my teacher to use both English and Chinese in teaching..

4.Hawking has left much for Chinese to think about.  British physicist Stephen Hawking,possibly the world's most famous scientist after Albert Einstein,gave lectures in Zhejiang and Beijing in August.
An illness left him unable to move any part of his body except for three fingers. But his continuing efforts in the field of science have made many young people take him as their idol(偶像).His books,Such as A Brief History of  Time(《時(shí)間簡(jiǎn)史》),become best sellers in Chinese bookstores."Hawking helps people expand their-horizons and become interested in science,"said Pan Yunhe,president of Zhejiang University.
Indeed,experts don't think it likely that Hawking's lectures and profound(深?yuàn)W的) ideas will be easily understood by the average person.  But he has certainly sowed the seeds of science among many young people.
And the"Hawking fever"caused by his visit has made people ask,"How can China produce more top scientists like Hawking?"
"Nurturing(培養(yǎng))top scientists will take as much work to change society as to educate the scientists themselves,"said Zhang Fan.Zhang has studied in the UK since 1999and will be a sophomore(大學(xué)二年級(jí)學(xué)生)at Trinity College in October,2002.
In Britain,Zhang said,teachers encourage students to have a general understanding of the subjects they are interested in.  And they also encourage students to develop new ideas,which helps them to nurture their creativity.
In China,the Ministry of Education(教育部)has encouraged schools to provide quality education to tap(開(kāi)發(fā))student potential(潛力).
"I hope teachers will pay more attention to helping us use our imaginations(想象力) and solve problems on our own,"said Lu Jie,a 9th grader of Sanfan Middle School in Beijing.
