  (2024·南京四校联考)Whether they are hunters or the hunted, these

  cunning

  animals

  are

  all masters of disguise (伪装) who can fool even the most beady­eyed passers­by into believing they are not there. Some hide under lily pads, and some dissolve into the bark of a tree while others slip into the snow, either to hide from a hungry predator or to silently stalk (追踪) an unwitting prey.

  With their almost perfect camouflage, these animals are some of the Earth’s best masters of disguise. However, while they can hide from their predators they cannot escape the sharp eyes of American photographer Art Wolfe, who has spent over 35 years roaming (漫步) the deserts of Africa, the rainforests of South America, the mountains of the United States and snow plains of Canada to capture wildlife at its most invisibility.

  The Seattle, WA photographer says that finding and filming these clever animals is a painstaking process, which often takes many hours. However for him, it is definitely worth the time because the thrill of capturing a creature that has managed to blend into its natural habitat so skillfully, is like none other.

  His search has taken him to almost every continent in the world — from the deserts of Africa to the rainforests of South America and even, the snow plains of Canada. Over the years he has snapped so many amazing photos that he has been able to showcase them in two books — a children?s book entitled Hiding Out that was first published in 2003 and Vanishing Act, which first came to bookstores in 2005 — both have been translated into several languages and been extremely popular all over the world.

  And, he is not done yet. The 61­year­old man who also happens to be a television producer continues to unearth nature?s

  beauties under lily pads, dissolved into tree trunks or stealthily awaiting their prey in the white snow! Would you have been able to spot any of them if you had not known what they were like in the photographs? Be sure to let us know, by adding your comments below.

  1.Some animals fool predators by ________.

  A.keeping still on the tree

  B.pretending to be friendly

  C.disguising themselves

  D.changing things around

  2.How old was Art Wolfe when he began to take photos of these animals?

  A.61.  B.35.

  C.29.

  D.26.

  3.How did Art Wolfe feel when finding and filming these clever animals?

  A.Easy and interested.

  B.Hard and excited.

  C.Comfortable and hard.

  D.Complicated and boring.

  4.What do you know according to Paragraph 4?

  A.Art Wolfe was actually a writer.

  B.Vanishing Act contains many pictures.

  C.Hiding Out came to bookstores in 2005.

  D.Art Wolfe could write in a few languages.

  (2024·郴州市高三4月模拟)In order to increase their job chances after college, Chinese students are turning to a special practice — Eiffel Tower nose jobs (鼻子整形手术). The latest trend in plastic surgery promises to create a nose that is classic, slim and sloping, similar to the sweeping curve of the Eiffel Tower.

  Surgeon Wang Xuming said,“We are influenced by the beauty of the Eiffel Tower; we are not content to just add something to the nose; we reconstruct it.” The surgery costs about US $ 10,000 and involves the enlarging of the nose using tissue from the forehead.

  Hundreds of posters advertising the procedure are put up all over Chongqing city, where surgeon Xuming runs his practice. They show a Western­looking woman with an almost­too­perfect nose, against an outline of the Eiffel Tower.

  Interestingly, many young women in China are eager to achieve a western appearance, as they believe it will give them an advantage in the highly competitive job market. “Some students face a lot of employment pressure after graduation. If their facial features are good, they’ll have more chances of finding a job,” said surgeon Xuming. “Weve had students getting the Eiffel Tower nose;its helped them a lot.”

  Apparently, Chinese employers are quite particular about appearances and prefer attractive candidates. Some of them even go as far as putting height and weight requirements in their employment ads. Plastic surgeons across the country are reporting an increase in the number of students choosing beauty “enhancement”.

  According to a Mr. Li, hospital manager at surgeon Xuming’s clinic, most of their customers are female and the bill is taken care of by the family. “They usually come in with their mothers, and tend to be from well­off backgrounds,” he said.

  5.Chinese college students choose to have a nose operation to________.

  A.marry well B.look cool

  C.have a good job

  D.look like westerners

  6.What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3?

  A.The posters.

  B.A nose job.

  C.The Eiffel Tower.

  D.A plastic surgery procedure.

  7.It can be inferred from Paragraph 5 that________.

  A.employers are potential customers

  B.ads promote the plastic surgery

  C.appearance is as important as height and weight

  D.attractive appearance seems to increase job chances

  8.From what Mr. Li said we can learn that________.

  A.most families cant afford the surgeon

  B.the number of plastic surgeons is increasing

  C.patients can be well looked after at the clinic

  D.their customers are usually from wealthy families

  9.Whats the author’s attitude towards Eiffel Tower nose jobs?

  A.Skeptical.

  B.Objective.

  C.Critical.

  D.Worried..1.选A 句意:作为华夏文明的发源地,西安是一座拥有悠久历史和丰富的文化底蕴的城市。birthplace后面有of短语作其后置定语,且“发源地”具有唯一性,故birthplace在本句中表特指,用定冠词the;第二空后的city为可数名词,但“拥有悠久历史和丰富的文化底蕴”的城市并非只有西安,故第二空应该表泛指,需用不定冠词。

  2.选C 句意:到达泰山顶部的每个人都能看到壮丽的景观。reward“奖赏;奖励”,多指对某人的工作或服务等的报答,符合语境。award“因……而授予某人……”,通常指正式地或官方地颁发、授予;admire“钦佩;赞美”;appreciate“感激;欣赏”。

  3.选B 句意:最使我们吃惊的是,去年建成的儿童乐园的门票价格前天上涨到五十美元。admission“入场费”,符合句意。privilege“特权;特殊待遇”;commitment“承诺;投入;奉献”;administration“管理;行政”。

  4.选B 句意:每当我遇到似乎不能独自解决的个人问题的时候,我总会找一个信得过的朋友向她讲述这个问题。make out“搞清楚,弄明白”;lay out“清楚地描述(解释)”;turn out“制造;最终结果是”;find out“查明,弄清”。

  5.选B 句意:看到周日特写专栏第一页上的照片,我感到很气愤。be disgusted to do sth.“很生气做某事”,不定式作原因状语。

  6.选C 句意:明年在北京有更多的孩子到了上学的年龄,这导致首都的小学教师短缺。结合句意可知,此处应用动词的­ing形式作结果状语,表示自然而然的结果。

  7.选B 句意:虽然史蒂芬·霍金关于黑洞的理论有点抽象,但已被世界上大多数人所接受。abstract“抽象的”,符合句意。realistic“现实的”;contemporary“同时代的,当代的”;appropriate“恰当的”。

  8.选A 句意:我刚到办公室,我妻子就打电话让我立刻回家。本句是“hardly ...when ...”结构,表示“刚……就……”。

  9.选B 句意:为了找到最适合该土壤的农作物,Johnson博士和他的助手们正在试验各种各样的谷物。“名词+as well as+名词(代词)”结构作主语,其谓语动词应根据as well as前面的名词来确定,故可排除A、C两项;由语境可知,此处应用主动语态,故选B。

  10.选A 句意:他计算了收益和亏损,所得结果是个负数。calculate“计算,核算”,符合句意。consider“考虑”;complete“完成”;control“控制”。

  11.选B 句意:学校艺术节搭起了一个同学们可以展示他们才华的平台。先行词是stage,关系词在定语从句中充当地点状语,故用where。因此选B。

  12.选C 句意:一个美洲印第安传说讲到大树托举起天空,如果树被砍倒了,就将有灾难。cut off“切断,隔断”,所以排除A、D两项;if引导的条件状语从句中,用一般现在时表将来。

  13.选C 句意:很多父母相信,被顶级中学录取能保证孩子们上一所好大学。根据句意可知,孩子们是被顶级中学录取,应用动名词的被动形式作主语。注意having done形式不能作句子的主语。

  14.选C 句意:“是通过促进比特币的使用全球的人们才可以获得利益和安全的吗?”“不。是通过禁止其流通。”此处是强调句“it is ... that ...”的一般疑问句形式,强调的是方式状语by promoting the use of Bitcoin,故用that。

  15.选A 句意:我不知道工人们要多久才能建完这座桥。It takes sb. some time to do sth.“做某事花费某人多长时间”。
