单元小测. 阅读理解2014湖北省八市三月调考While the presenceW1 of rats in homes may cause anxiety and annoyanceW2, they rarely result inP1 driving out the residents. But that is exactly what happened toP2 the inhabitants of the 10squaremile Hawadax Island off the coast of Alaska, almost 230 years ago. Now thanks toP3 a fiveyear effort by scientists, the terribly silent “Rat Island” as it had been called for many years has been returned to its rightful ownersbirds!Hawadax Island is part of a chain of volcanic islands in the Bering Sea called the Aleutian Islands. The rats that arrived there in 1780, when a Japanese ship carrying them broke down nearby, completely destroyed the native population because the environment of the island was not built to defend its animals from these predators.S There isnt any tree on the Island, which meant that the birds were accustomed toP4 building their nests low in the ground, giving the rodents(啮齿动物) easy accessW3 to both eggs and baby chicks. As years passed, the birds that had called the island home for thousands of years became endangeredW4 and eventually, disappeared completely.In 2007, the US. FWS (Fish and Wildlife Service) started a serious plan to rid the island ofP5 the rats and try bringing back the beautiful birds that had once called it home. Given that there were an estimated 10,000 rodents inhabiting “Rat Island” and the fact that they reproduce rapidly, it was not an easy task. But by 2009, the Island was officially declared rat free!Then slowly but surely, the birds began to return. Unfortunately, some of the pioneers were unintentionally killed from the leavings of the raticide, a poison that had been used to wipe outP6 the rodents. But now it seems things are becoming more stable and the Island is starting to increasingly look like its former self. Before the transformation, “Hawadax”， also known as “Rat Island”， was a silent and ghostly place with bird bones, snail remains and rocks covered in rat feces(粪便)Today, birds singing and flying in and out is a common sight. Tufted puffins and song sparrows, which had long disappeared, are gradually making their way back. Scientists have also been observing an increaseW5 in ground nesting and shorebirds. Though the Island is still not back to its full glory, the signs are encouraging and things can only get better, as time passes.1.

From the passage, we can know the plan of US FWS _.A. has helped the island fully recovered B. cost little but benefited greatlyC. involved poisoning the rats on a large scale C.accomplished its goal after exactly 24 months4. Which would be the best title for the passage?A. FWS Help Get Rare Birds Back to Alaska Island B. Japanese Changed a Bird Paradise into Rat IslandC. FWS Plan to Drive Rats Out Of Rat Island D.

I looked up the hill to see_2_ she was going and saw her Dad waiting for her. As she got closer and closer her Dad smiled and knelt down to greet her. The second she got to him he folded her in _3_ powerful arms and gave her a huge hug. My eyes watered a bit as I watched this scene and remembered all the times_4_ my own children had ran into my arms with_5_ (smile) faces. Every single hug from _6_ was a fountain of youth and a treasure of joy. My lovely trip down memory lane was interrupted when I heard the car_7_ me sound its horn(喇叭). I saw_8_school bus quickly pulling away. I started to follow it again with a_9_ (light) spirit than I had before. I took that beautiful moment and stored it_10_ (safe) in my soul where I knew it would remain forever.1_2._3._4._5_6._7._8._9_10._作者驾车回家途中看到一名父亲拥抱放学归来的女儿，不禁陷入沉思中，想起与自己孩子们拥抱的情景。1. stopped考查谓语动词时态。本文是叙述过去发生的经历，用一般过去时。2. where 考查宾语从句。根据句意“我抬头朝山上望去，想看她朝哪儿去了”，可知用where引导宾语从句。3. his考查代词。指代“her Dads”。句意：她一走到他身边，他就用强壮的胳膊搂住她，热情地拥抱她(The second意为“一就”)。4. when考查定语从句。因先行词为times，指时间，且定语从句不需要补充主语或宾语，所以用when引导定语从句，并在从句中作时间状语。5. smiling考查非谓语。smiling face意为“笑脸”，其中smiling为现在分词作定语。6. them考查代词。指代my own children。根据was a fountain of youth可知，作者是以家长的身份叙述自己内心的感受，所以不可填me。7. behind考查介词。根据第一段behind a school bus可知，作者的车是跟在校车之后的，此时校车已经启动，而作者因陷入回忆而未能及时反应过来，所以是“后面的车”在按喇叭催作者开车。8. the考查冠词。本句指的就是第一段提到的school bus，特指上文提到过的事物，用定冠词。9. lighter考查形容词比较等级。由than I had before可知用比较级。10. safely 考查构词法。形容词safe加后缀ly构成副词safely，作状语，修饰动词stored。. 短文改错Mr. White was very excited that he could not fall asleep last night.
