B．familiarC．expensive D．ancient解析：选B本空后面的“makingherweeklyvisittoseeHussein”显示，Manuela每周要去探望Hussein，说明她对理发店很熟识，故选B。independent“独立的”，expensive“昂贵的”，ancient“古老的”，文章没有相关信息，均不能入选。2．A.grateful B．patientC．careful D．attractive解析：选A本段第一句谈到Manuela一大早就买了两袋猫粮，下文谈到Hussein在照看流浪猫，所以当Hussein看到Manuela带来猫粮时，他当然很感谢(grateful)和兴奋。patient“耐性的”，careful“细致的”，attractive“有吸引力的”，均与文章上下文内容不匹配。3．A.neighbors B．barbersC．cats D．customers解析：选C第三段中的“Husseinexpressedhis________aboutthehomelesscatshecaredfor”显示，Hussein在照看流浪猫，且本句前的“thetinyfooddisheslinedupinthealley”显示小巷里排列着很小的食盘，故他们一到那里，几只猫很快就出现了，故选C。neighbor“邻居”，barber“理发师”，customer“顾客”，文章没有相关信息，均不能入选。4．A.spokeout

D．accumulated解析：选A第一段谈到Hussein很兴奋；由空后的“heexplainedhewas...7days”可知，Hussein被告知7天之内必需搬离理发店，他将失去(lose)这家理发店，因此他的微笑渐渐消逝(faded)了，故选A。freeze“(因胆怯 等)不动，惊呆”，reappear“再现”，accumulate“聚集”，均与语境不符。6．A.rebuild B．sellC．lose D．decorate解析：选C参见上题解析。rebuild“重建”，sell“卖”，decorate“装饰”，均与上下文内容不符。7．A.dull B．classicC．remote

D．collecting解析：选B由上文中Hussein在外面喂流浪猫可推知，这个新的租户不情愿喂养(feeding)这些流浪猫，故选B。purchase“购买”，shelter“爱护，掩蔽”，collect“收集”，均与文章内容不符。9．A.glare B．openC．shine D．flood解析：选D上文谈到Manuela每周都买猫粮给那些流浪猫，因此当她听说Hussein不得不搬走，而这些流浪猫没有人照看时，她的眼睛含满泪水。flood意为“(使)灌满水，沉没”，在此可理解为“眼中含满泪水”，故选D。glare“怒目而视”，open“睁开”，shine“放光”，均与语境不符。10．A.promises B．adorationC．anxiety D．comments解析：选C上文谈到Hussein始终在照看流浪猫，但以后不能再照看它们了，所以他表达了对这些猫的担忧(anxiety)。promise“许诺”，adoration“酷爱”，comment“评论”，均与上下文内容不符。11．A.instore B．bychanceC．onpurpose

D．began解析：选D上文谈到Manuela的Facebook支持者读到了她的帖子，下文谈到在接下去的一周，Manuela每天都带捐款(contributions)给Hussein，由此可知网友们一个接一个地起先(began)定期给Hussein和他的猫捐款，故选D。suggest“建议”，remember“记住”，report“报道”，均与上下文内容不符。14．A.congratulations

D．so解析：选C上文中的“astorefrontinanoldbuilding”和本空后的“therewaspotential”显示，这个门面很老旧，没有通电，但是(but)还是有潜力的，因此这里具有转折关系，故选C。17．A.cameby B．cheeredupC．brokeaway

D．directly解析：选B上文谈到Hussein和他的流浪猫遇到了困难，Manuela和她的支持者们热心相助；再依据本空后提到的Hussein和他的流浪猫的天地又回来了，因此本空应用thankfully，表示“幸亏，幸好”，故选B。normally“正常地”，naturally“自然地”，directly“干脆地”，均与文章内容不符。Ⅲ.任务型阅读(2024·常州中学调研)AmongthenaturalcreaturesthatcanpresentathreattopeopleinruralareasofMexico,oneofthemostproductiveisthescorpion(蝎子).Theserelativesofspiderskilldozensofpeopleeachyearandinjurethousandsmore.However,scorpionshavebecomeapartofthelocalcultureandtradition.IntheDurangocitymainmarket,scorpionsareinevidenceateveryturn.Therearebooks,keychainsandlampsdecoratedwithdeadscorpions.TherearescorpionimagesonT­shirtsandhatsandthereareevencandiesshapedlikescorpions.Thewholeplaceseemstobefilledwiththecrawlingcreature.Inonecornerofthemarket，CheloGarciaevensellslivescorpions.Shesaysshehasexperiencedtwoscorpionstings(蛰)intherecentyearsandthatnothinghappened.Shesaysthatifapersonhasnosymptomsofpoisoningwith30minutesofthestinging，itislikelythatnothingbadwillresult.Shesayssomescorpionshavelittleornopoisonandsoluckplaysabigpart.ItishardtoexplainwhypeoplecometoMs.Garcia'sstoretobuyliveones,butshedoesagoodbusiness.Sheoftenreachesdownthroughthetopoftheglasscagetocatchoneofthescorpionstoshowhercustomers.Sheholdsthembythetail,wherethebarbedstinger(刺针)islocated,sothatsheissafefromattack.Inthecrowdedmarket,manypeoplepassbyMs.Garcia'sstoretolookatthecrawlingcreaturesandtorelatetheirownstoriesofencounterswiththescorpions.Oneoldwomansaysshenearlydiedwhenshewasagirlof18yearsoldandhasbeenafraidofscorpionseversince.Shesaidhertonguebecamenumbandherthroatbegantoswellshut,commonsymptomsofthescorpionpoison.ShesaysshesurvivedbecauseGodprotectedher.EveryyearinMexicoabout200,000peoplearestungbyscorpions.Thenumberofannualdeathswasnearly300,till2015,butapublichealthcampaignandthewidespreadavailabilityofanti­poisonhavecutthenumberofdeathstolessthan100ayear.ThestateofDurangoaloneaccountsfortenpercentofallthescorpionstingsinMexicoeachyear.Whilethescorpionmayberegardedasdisgustingandhorriblebymanypeople,ithasalsobecomeabitofalocalmascot(祥瑞物)inDurango.Peoplethereseemproudofthefactthattheircityisknownasthe“scorpioncapital”.Scorpions:PartofLocalCultureinMexicoIntroductionWhile(1)________byscorpions,peopleinruralareasofMexicoviewthemasapartofthelocalcultureandtradition.Themainmarketofscorpions•Scorpionscanbeseenalmost(2)________，rangingfrombookstoT­shirtsandhats.•(3)________scorpionsaresoldinGarcia'sstore,whohasbeenstungbyscorpionstwiceinrecentyears.•Garciaoftenshowsscorpionstohercustomersbyholdingtheirtails,becausethebarbedstingeris(4)________inthescorpion'stail.Thesituationofscorpions'stings•(5)________arethatifapersonfeelsnothingwrongwithin30minutesofthestinging,he/shewillsurvive.•Symptomsofthescorpionpoisonincludeanumbtongueanda(6)________throat.•Withmuchattentiontopublichealth,peoplenowhaveeasy(7)________toanti­poison,sothenumberofdeathshasdecreasedalot.People's(8)______towardsscorpions•Though(9)________asdisgustingandhorrible,thescorpionhasbecomeabitofalocalmascotinDurango.•Peopletheretake(10)________inthefactthattheircityisknownasthe“scorpioncapital”.答案：1.threatened2.everywhere3.Live4.located/situated5.Chances6.swollen7.access8.attitudes9．regarded/viewed/considered/seen10.pride检测评价B卷阅读理解AVisitorCode●ArrivewithnothingthatcanharmNewZealandIfyouarearrivingfromoverseas,bringnofood,animalorplantmaterialintothecountry.IfindoubtdeclareittoCustoms.●ProtectplantsandanimalsNeverallowdogsorotherpetstorunfreelyinareasofnestingbirds,otherwildlife,orwheresignposted.●GetridofrubbishAlwaysgetridofyourrubbishproperlyandrecyclewaste(e.g.glass,paper)wherepossible.●BeconsideratewithotherwasteIfusingaportabletoiletalwaysthrowawayyourtoiletwasteataproperwastestation.Inthebackcountry,buryyourtoiletwasteinashallowholeawayfromwaterways.●KeepNewZealand'swatercleanBecausesoapsandotherwastescanharmwaterways,becarefulyourwashingwaterdoesn'tpollutethesea,lakesandrivers.●TakecarewithfireAlwaysobservedistrictfirebans.Becarefulifyousmokeorhaveanoutdoorfireorbarbecue—makesureashesarecoldbeforeleaving.●CamporpicniccarefullyWhencampingorpicnicking,usefacilitiesprovided.●KeeptothetrackKeeptothetrack,whereoneexists,soyoulessenthechanceofdamagingfragileplants.●BeconsiderateWhendriving,minimizenoiseandobservenosmokingsigns.语篇解读：本文是一篇应用文——游客行为规范。文章主要介绍了去新西兰应当留意的事项。1．AccordingtotheCode,visitorsshouldact________.A．withcareandrespectB．withreliefandpleasureC．withcautionandcalmnessD．withattentionandobservation解析：选A推理推断题。依据文章所列留意事项“来时不要带任何对新西兰有害的东西；爱护动植物；正确处理垃圾；对于其他废物的处理要考虑周到；保持水的干净；留意防火；宿营或野餐时要当心；不偏离道路；要替他人着想”可知，游客举止应当当心谨慎而且要懂得敬重别人。故选A项。2．WhatareyouencouragedtodowhentravellinginNewZealand?A．Takeyourowncampingfacilities.B．Buryglassfarawayfromrivers.C．Followthetrackforthesakeofplants.D．Observesignstoapproachnestingbirds.解析：选C细微环节理解题。由倒数其次个留意事项下的“Keeptothetrack,whereoneexists...”可知C项正确。B(2024·无锡高三一模)Fantasyliteratureisfantasyinwrittenform.Historicallyspeaking,themajorityoffantasyworkshavebeenliterature.Sincethe1950s,however,agrowingpartofthefantasygenre(流派)hastakentheformofvideogames,music,painting,andthelike.Itisdifficul
