一、短语填空1.Inconsequence2.hadtakenover3.isnativeto4.participatein5.outofcontrol6.dieout二、阅读理解1.B推理判断题。根据第二段前两句可知，蛇可能是在20世纪40年代出现的。它们可能趁人不注意溜上了前往Guam岛的船只和飞机。由此推断出，棕树蛇不是Guam岛的本地物种。2.D词义猜测题。根据后文可知，棕树蛇吃鸟，岛上曾经有12种鸟类，但是这些蛇已经杀死了九种鸟类。蛇可以长到10英尺长，它们经常咬人。它们爬上电线，让电力供应中断，这造成了数百万美元的损失。以上说明了这种蛇的危害性很大。由此可以推断出画线词devastating意思是“有破坏性的”。故选D项。3.D细节理解题。根据第四至六段内容可知，杀死棕树蛇的一个有效方法是让它们吃携带Tylenol的老鼠。4.B推理判断题。根据最后一段中Guam岛农业部的Vice先生说：“这不应该阻止岛民的尝试。我们的长期目标是彻底消灭蛇。”可推断出，Vice先生对解决蛇的问题满怀希望。三、语法填空1.the考查冠词。在序数词之前需加定冠词,表特指,故填the。2.waslisted考查动词语态和时态。分析句子结构可知,主语为MountWuyi,与所给动词list之间为被动关系,又根据时间状语InDecember1999可知,用一般过去时态,故填waslisted。3.resources考查名词复数。句意:武夷山旅游资源丰富,是中国著名的茶叶中心。根据句意可知,武夷山有丰富的旅游资源,因此resource应为复数形式,故填resources。4.as考查固定短语。句意:早在西周,它就以名胜古迹而闻名。beknownas为固定搭配,意为“作为……而出名”,故填as。5.and考查连词。句意:它有一个物种丰富的生态系统,有2527种植物和大约5000种野生动物。“2,527kindsofplantspecies”和“about5,000speciesofwildanimals”为并列关系,故填and。6.amazing考查形容词。句意:除了这里令人惊叹的丹霞地貌,道教文化和茶文化也吸引着国内外游客,尤其是来自新加坡和马来西亚的游客。根据其后的名词Danxialandform指物,可知应用形容词化的现在分词作定语,意为“令人惊叹的”,故填amazing。7.especially考查副词。句意:除了这里令人惊叹的丹霞地貌,道教文化和茶文化也吸引着国内外游客,尤其是来自新加坡和马来西亚的游客。分析句子结构可知,此处应用副词作状语,表强调,故填especially。8.is考查动词时态和主谓一致。分析句子结构可知,本句为主系表结构,主语为MountWuyiScenicArea,故谓语用单数,且根据上下文语境可知,用一般现在时态,填is。9.tovisit考查不定式。句意:不建议游览所有的景点,但要游览一些主要景点。分析句子结构可知,It为形式主语,此处应用不定式作真正的主语,故填tovisit。10.including考查介词。句意:有了这张票,你可以到达包括天游峰、武夷宫、大红袍茶树、水帘洞等在内的所有的景点。此处用介词短语作后置定语,补充说明alltheattractions,故填including。四、书面表达Arianabitherbottomlip.SadnessforAshleyfilledherheart.Shevowedthatfromnowonshewouldbethebestfriendthat
