第20练阅读理解语法填空写作.阅读理解athere is a very instructive incident involving the life of alexander the great，king of greek.alexander，after conquering many kingdoms，was returning home.on the way，he fell ill and it took him to his death bed.with death staring him in his face，alexander realized his conquests，his great army，his sharp sword and all his wealth were of no consequence.so，he lay helplessly waiting to breathe his last.he called his generals and said，“i will depart from this world soon，and i have three wishes.please carry them out without fail.”“my first desire is that，” said alexander，“my physicians alone must carry my coffin.” after a pause，he continued，“secondly，i desire that when my coffin is being carried to the grave，the path leading to the graveyard be strewn(撒满) with gold，silver and precious stones which i have collected.” the king continued，“my third and last wish is that both my hands should be kept hanging out of my coffin.” alexanders favorite general kissed his hand and pressed them to his heart.“oh king，we assure you that your wishes will all be fulfilled.but tell us why do you make such strange wishes？”alexander took a deep breath and said，“i would like the world to know of the three lessons i have just learnt.i want my physicians to carry my coffin because people should realize that no doctor can really cure any bodies.they are powerless and cannot save a person from the clutches of death.so let people not take life for granted.”the second wish of strewing gold，silver and other riches on the way to the graveyard is to tell people that not even a bit of gold will come with me.i spent all my life earning riches but cannot take anything with me.let people realize that it is just a waste of time to chase wealth.and about my third wish of having my hands hanging out of the coffin，i wish people to know that i came emptyhanded into this world and emptyhanded out of this world.with these words，the king closed his eyes.soon he let death conquer him and breathed his last.【语篇解读】本文主要讲述了亚历山大大帝临死前的三个愿望和他想传达给人们的一些启示。1the first paragraph suggests that alexander _a. was conquering many kingdomsbrealized that what he got in his life was nothing to him at

great army，his sharp sword and all his wealth were of no consequence”可知，亚历山大大帝意识到他一生中所得的对他来说毫无意义，故b项正确。2the underlined word “clutches” in paragraph 3 means “_”asentence battentionccontrol

pollinate (授粉)，as well as for beekeepers，farmers，honey lovers and everyone else who appreciates this marvelous social insect，this is a catastrophe.honeybee collapse has been particularly worrying because there is not one cause，but rather a thousand little cuts.the main elements include the mixed impact of pesticides (杀虫剂)applied to fields，as well as pesticides applied directly into nests to control bugs，pests and diseases；nutritional shortages caused by vast acreages of singlecrop fields that lack diverse flowering plants; and commercial beekeeping itself，which destroys groups by moving most bees around the country multiple times each year to pollinate crops.the real issue，though，is not the volume of problems，but the interactions among them.here we find a major lesson from the bees that we ignore our risk：the concept of synergy (协同作用)，where one plus one equals three，or four，or more.a typical honeybee colony contains remains from more than 120 pesticides.alone，each represents a benign dose(良性剂量)but together they form a poisonous soup of chemicals whose interplay(相互作用)can greatly reduce the effectiveness of bees immune systems，making them easier to suffer from diseases.observing the death of honeybees should warn us that our own wellbeing might be similarly threatened，and the widespread collapse of so many groups presents a clear message.we must demand that our regulatory authorities require studies on how exposure to low dosages of combined chemicals may affect human health before approving compounds.bees also provide some clues to how we may build a more collaborative relationship with the services that ecosystems can provide.bees could offer some of the pollination services needed for agriculture.people discover that crop harvests，and thus profits，are maximized if some croplands are left uncultivated for bees.meanwhile a variety of wild plants means a healthier，more diverse bee population，which will then move to the planted fields next door in larger and more active numbers.【语篇解读】本文主要讲述了蜜蜂大量消失的原因以及给人们带来的启示。5which of the following is not the cause that leads to bees death?alack of nutrition from enough diverse flowering plants.bthe pests and diseases of the bees.cthe beekeepers destroying without intention.dthe pesticides applied to crops.答案a细节理解题。根据第二段中的“nutritional shortages caused by vast acreages of singlecrop fields that lack diverse flowering plants”可知，营养的缺乏是因为缺少正在开花时节的植物。故选a项。6by saying “one plus one equals three，or four，or more” in paragraph 3，the author means that _aunited bees mean they are much more powerfulbunited bees mean they are much more poisonouscmixed pesticides mean they are much more poisonousdmixed pesticides mean they are much more effective答案c推理判断题。根据第三段的最后一句的“but together they form a poisonous soup of chemicals”可知，混合型的杀虫剂毒性更大，即c项正确。7the lesson people can learn from bees death is that _amedicine is as powerful as pesticidesbour health might be threatened by pesticidescwe should protect bees by reducing the usage of pesticidesdmedicine may be harmful to us when used together答案d推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的第二句的“how exposure to low dosages of combined chemicals may affect human health before approving compounds”可推知，药物混合使用可能会对人体有害，即d项正确。8what is the last paragraph mainly about?akeeping a balance with nature is important.bmore plants mean more and healthier bees.cbees are very important to agriculture.dbees can bring in good higher profits to farmers.答案a段落大意题。根据最后一段的第一句“bees also provide some clues to how we may build a more collaborative relationship with the services that ecosystems can provide”可知，蜜蜂也提供了一些线索，关于我们如何与生态系统提供的服务建立一个更多的合作关系，因此本段主要讲述了与自然保持平衡是重要的。故a项正确。.阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。rosa parks was an african american civil rights activist.she _9_ (respect) by the

up，此处意思是“让给”。指罗莎帕克斯拒绝把座位让给白人。11inspiring此处是现在分词短语表示结果，且逻辑上是主动关系。12famous此处是形容词作宾语补足语。13that同位语从句中，不缺成分，不缺语意，用连接词that引导。14the largest分析语境可知，这里指公车抵制是反对种族隔离政策的最大的运动之一。15supported陈述过去发生的事情，用一般过去时。16sickness此处指疾病，用名词sickness。17was delivered陈述过去的情况，逻辑上是动宾关系，故用was delivered。18which此处是非限制性定语从句，先行词是事物，关系代词用which。.写作(一)应用文写作假如你是李华，你的澳大利亚朋友johnson来武汉学习已经两个月了，你想邀请他周末到你家做客。请给johnson写一封电子邮件，邀请他在周六下午乘六路公交车到你家，告诉他你家在公交站附近，你将于三点在车站等候他的到来。注意：1.词数80左右；2可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯；3信的开头和落款已为你写好，不计入总词数。dear
