童话中经常有动物报恩的故事,我们一直以为现实生活中不可能发生这样的事,但是华盛顿西雅图8岁女孩加比·曼(Gabi Mann)的经历却说明,一切皆有可能。

答案及剖析:1.B 根据空后的who showed her with gifts almost every day和下文中提到的乌鸦可知,她的“朋友”其实是一群乌鸦,几乎每天为她展示礼物。

故用unusual“不寻常的”。

2.A 根据上文中的...she started feeding her neighborhood crows及下文的bringing back all kinds of 3 .可知,乌鸦对女孩的恩惠施以报答。

return the favor报恩,报答。

3.B 根据上文中的showed her with gifts和最后一段中的the crows started 18 her with gifts可知,乌鸦为女孩带来礼物。

4.A5.C 女孩与乌鸦独特的(unique)关系始于(began)女孩四岁时。

6.D 根据下文Soon,the crows were always watching for her可知,那时女孩自愿喂食给乌鸦。

be willing to do sth.意为“自愿做某事”。

7.B 乌鸦总是等待女孩的到来,希望(hoping)吃一口女孩给它们投下的食物。

8.C 9.A 随着(As)年龄的增长,女孩开始有意识地喂食(feed)乌鸦。

10.D 根据下文中的instead of sharing her lunch with them可知,女孩与乌鸦分享午餐(lunch)。

11.B 句意:不久之后,乌鸦每天下午自动列队到车站迎接(greet)女孩回来。

12.B 由下文fill the bowl in the backyard with water every day可知,女孩定时(regularly)喂食乌鸦。

13.C 情态动词would表示过去的习惯。

14.D 15.C 乌鸦习惯性地(automatically)站立在电话线上,等候(waiting)女孩前来喂食。

16.A 根据下文乌鸦给女孩送来礼物这一事实可知,作者是想表达一个令人不敢相信的事实。

believe it or not“信不信由你”,符合题意。

17.D 根据下文语境可知,女孩目睹了(witnessed)一件非常美妙的东西。

18.B 乌鸦送给女孩礼物以示感激,故用thanking。

19.C 由下文的including a tiny silver ball,a blue plastic brick,a small piece of colored glass,and other such things.可知,乌鸦送给女孩的小礼物非常多,所以女孩把礼物收起来(collected),并包好。

20.B 根据and之前的分句Each item is individually wrapped可知,女孩非常珍视这些礼物,故用of great value。

Ⅱ.阅读理解Waterpebble:saving water one drop at a timeIntroduction:With Waterpebble,you can know how much water is being used while you are showering and decrease that amount so gradually that it’s practically impossible to see.Aims:Waterpebble not only encourages people to use less water but also helps people realize the importance of protecting the earth.Background:Paul Priestman invented Waterpebble and was originally inspired by a hotel bathroom sign that read,“Please Save Water.”Usage:Waterpebble is a small round device (设备) that has three light indications of red,orange and green.They indicate “too much”,“just enough” and “Well done!You’re saving the planet”.Simply place Waterpebble under the shower and it will record the length of your showers.From that point on it starts gradually encouraging you to reduce your shower time by flashing the appropriate light.During your next shower it will flash green,orange or red.If you have let it go all the way to red,then you have overused the amount of time of your last shower.If you stop showering at green,you have beaten your record.The idea is to limit each shower to six minutes or less.Effects:Families who use Waterpebble can look forward to their future water bills.It is a clever and environmentally conscious way to make the process of saving water a more instinctive(本能的) character.Families report that their kids love the idea of playing a role in protecting the planet without being constantly reminded.For more information,please visit Waterpebble online.1.Waterpebble is designed to .A.encourage people to shower every dayB.help people save water while showeringC.help people take a shower more happilyD.record people’s shower time accurately2.What inspired Paul Priestman to invent Waterpebble?A.His love for inventionB.The fact of lacking water.C.An experience of staying in a hotel.D.The importance of taking showers.3.When you take a shower,you should .A.turn on the three lights of Waterpebble firstB.set a time limit on Waterpebble ahead of timeC.pay attention to the flashing light of WaterpebbleD.keep Waterpebble’s red light flashing all the time语篇解读:本文是应用文。
