   沙貓原產(chǎn)于沙漠，是瀕危動物。除了在動物園，人們難以在野外目睹沙貓，只能通過網(wǎng)絡(luò)從圖片或是視頻上看到它們。

1. D上文提及沙貓來自沙漠，下文用erne指沙貓中的任何一個，而不是特指。

2. D由短文最后一段中的“…there are not many opportunities to see sand cats.”可知沙貓“單獨”生活.

3. A由“最大的沙貓不過兩英尺長”推斷，沙貓通常寄居在其他“小”動物的洞穴里。

4. D由下文“以像蛇之類的小動物為食”推斷，沙貓晚上“尋找”食物。

5. C由“世界上沙貓不多”推斷，保護(hù)沙貓“安全”非常重要。

6. A由“沙貓在動物園里很難存活”推斷這里指為了成功“飼養(yǎng)”沙貓。keep表示“伺養(yǎng)”。

7. D由“動物園不得不為沙貓創(chuàng)造非常特殊的環(huán)境”推斷，如果沙貓有生命危險就很“難”救活。

8. C句意:直到2010年才第一次在動物園成功“培育”了一只沙貓寶寶。raise表示“培育”。

9. B由Luckily推斷，人們做了一些事以“防止”沙貓?zhí)幱谖ｋU的狀態(tài)中D stop... from doing sth.為常用結(jié)構(gòu)，故選B.

障礙句分析

   It wasn’t until 2010 that a sand cat baby was successfully raised in the zoo for the first time.直到 2010 年，沙貓寶寶才第一次被成功地在動物園培育。

   該句是強(qiáng)調(diào)句型：It be +被強(qiáng)調(diào)部分+ that +其他; not... until…是固定搭配，意為“直到……才……”；was raised是一般過去時的被動語態(tài)，意為“被培育”。

   We all have our favorite teachers—those who treat us equally. But what about those bother some ones?

   You can do lots of things to get a good 1 with your teacher. First,do the obvious (明顯的) job: 2 for class or finish your homework on time. Be smart,be respectful,and ask questions.

   Show an interest in the subject. Obviously,your teachers are really interested in their subjects or they wouldn’t have decided to teach them!Showing the teacher that you 3 —even if you’re not good at math or fluent in French—sends the message that you are a dedicated (專注的) student on his subject.

   It is possible to be 4 when trying,though. Here are some things to do when trying to establish a relationship with your teacher：

   ? Being sincere No teachers like the students who like telling lies. Tell him the true 5 why you can't finish your homework or why you are late again. And it's the most 6 of all.

   ? Trying to be teacher's pet Be a hard-working student. You must keep the rules in the school. Be teachers' lovely pet and let them 7 you.

   ? Giving small gifts It's OK to offer a small gift like a card,or something else on 8 days. But flashy,expensive items could send the 9 message,and a teacher is usually not allowed to accept anything expensive.

   ? Don’t be afraid of the teachers Every teacher wants to teach you well,10 sometimes they are strict with you. Believe that they are very kind to you in fact and don't be afraid of them.

1. A. job   B. friend   C. relation   D. seat

2. A. Show up   B. Stay out   C. Keep on   D. Give out

3. A. want   B. care   C. need   D. hate

4. A. interesting   B. relaxing   C. helpful   D. hard

5. A. story   B. excuse   C. reasons   D. words

6. A. popular   B. difficult   C. important   D. successful

7. A. love   B. know   C. notice   D. believe

8. A. unforgettable   B. exciting   C. usual   D. special

9. A. wrong   B. correct   C. useful   D. true
