【題目】

Red squirrels were common(常見的) in British forests and countryside. But there are fewer than 140,000 red squirrels ______ now and most of them are in Scotland. However, grey squirrels are now so common that many people ______ them. They can hunt and kill them legally(合法).

The red squirrel has a head-and-body length of 19 to 23 cm and a tail length of 15 to 20 cm. But the grey squirrel is a ______ animal. The head-and-body length is between 23 and 30 cm.

【解析】

這篇短文講述了英國的紅松鼠和灰松鼠,紅松鼠的數(shù)量在減少,而灰松鼠的數(shù)量很多,以至于人們都不喜它們了。本文還介紹了灰松鼠在競爭中獲勝的幾個原因。

1句意:但是現(xiàn)在剩下的紅松鼠不到140000只,大多數(shù)都在蘇格蘭。

leaves 離開(第三人稱單數(shù));left 離開(過去式或過去分詞);leaving 離開(動名詞或現(xiàn)在分詞);leave 離開(動詞原形)。此處red squirrelsleave之間是被動關(guān)系,即“被剩下”。故用過去分詞表示被動。故選B

2句意:然而,灰松鼠現(xiàn)在很常見,很多人不喜歡它們。

dislike 不喜歡;like 喜歡;watch 觀看;keep 保持。根據(jù)下一句“they can hunt and kill them legally.”可知殺死灰松鼠是合法的,由此證明人們不喜歡它們。故選A。

3句意:它們都有一條長長的尾巴,幫助松鼠從樹上跳到樹上,同樣的大眼睛,小耳朵和有力的后腿。

head 頭;tail 尾巴;nose 鼻子;mouth 嘴巴。根據(jù)常識和語境,故選B。

4句意:然而灰松鼠較之紅松鼠有一個明顯的優(yōu)勢。

Instead 代替,而不是;Moreover 此外;Otherwise 否則;However 然而。前面在說不好的方面,后面提到優(yōu)勢,可知是轉(zhuǎn)折。故選D。

5句意:但是灰松鼠是一種更大的動物。

smaller 更;cleverer 更聰明;larger 更大;funnier 更有趣。下一句提到了灰松鼠的體積,并提到了fat,可知是“更大”。故選C。

6句意:這種形體讓他們儲存更多的脂肪,并幫助他們在艱難的冬天生活。

ask 要求;help 幫助;tell 告訴;teach 教。help sb. (to) do sth. 意為“幫助某人做某事”。根據(jù)語境,故選B

7句意:所以為什么紅松鼠小于灰松鼠呢?

why 為什么;what 什么;when 什么時候;how 怎樣。下文內(nèi)容介紹了各種原因,故選A。

8句意:紅松鼠高高地生活在樹上,而灰松鼠則把更多的時間花在地上。

trees 樹;hills 山;skies 天空;clouds 云。天與地對立,且根據(jù)句意,故選A。

9句意:灰松鼠成功的另一個原因是其從人類容易的獲得食物的能力。

quality 質(zhì)量;hobby 愛好;ability 能力;look 看。the ability to do sth. 意為“做某事的能力”。根據(jù)語境,故選C。

10句意:和狐貍一樣,灰松鼠也能生活在城鎮(zhèn)里。

can’t 不(可)能;need 需要;needn’t 不必;can 能,可以。前面提到它的能力,此處也是在說它的優(yōu)勢,所以是“可以”生活在城鎮(zhèn)中。故選D

【題目】

What is the best-selling book in the world? Is it the Harry Potter series or Secret Garden? According to the Guinness World Records, the Xinhua Dictionary, published by the Commercial Press in China, is the world’s most popular dictionary and the best-selling book.

In 1950, Chinese language experts(專家) andscholars, Wei Jiangong and Ye Shengtao, started to edit(編輯) the Xinhua Dictionary. There was a lot of discussion, research and paper work. Some hand scripts (稿件) were checked again and again like compositions, People’s Daily reported. Many people’s hard work and interesting stories went into making the dictionary.

In 1953, the first Xinhua Dictionary was published. Today, 567 million copies of the dictionary have been sold worldwide.

However, revisions (修訂) to the dictionary continue to be made. According to Yu Guilin from Commercial Press, editors(編輯) usually summarize (總結(jié)) the meaning of words again while revising. If the example sentences are out of date, editors need to have experiences and make new examples. “To give a correct explanation of the word ‘焗油 (deep condition)’ , one editor went to a barber shop (理發(fā)店) to experience it for himself,” Yu told the Beijing Times. So far, the Xinhua Dictionary has been revised 11 times.

To keep up with the times, some popular and widely used internet words are also added to the dictionary. For example, in the 11th edition, the phrases “曬工資 (show off salary)” and “曬照片 (show off pictures)” were included.
