3、digest the insect. When dinner is over, the plant opens the trap door and is ready for trap again.Meateating plants grow mostly in wet areas with soil that doesnt offer much food value.

9、he most of such conditionsD. have developed digestive enzymes答案與解析A細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段可知，濕地的土壤不能提供給植物足夠的營養(yǎng)。因此，食肉植物從落網(wǎng)的昆蟲身上汲取營養(yǎng)，以維持生命。4We learn from the text that meateating plants _.A. are big and tallB. like to grow in dry landC. look bright and beautifulD. are usually covered with hair答案與解析C細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中倒數(shù)第二

11、ecies. A legal framework may need to be set up to control human activities in the area and in its immediate surroundings. (e.g. hunting, fishing, agriculture, industry and tourism) Policing the area may also be necessary. If part of the area has been worse due to bad land use it may need restoring.

12、(e.g. 90% of tourists do not wander more than 100m from their cars, so the placing of car parks can greatly influence the impact of visitors.)

42、車，可是爸爸無論如何都不同意。16A通覽全文可知，作者為了得到這輛遙控車既經(jīng)受了痛苦又付出了努力。17C聯(lián)系上下文可知作者一直關(guān)注著遙控車的信息。18A根據(jù)上下文可知作者終于下定決心要那輛遙控車，make up ones mind為固定短語，意為“下決心”。19B由上文可知作者下定決心后就立即著手開始行動了。set to work“開始行動起來”。20D作者的第一步行動便是告訴爸爸舊車的操縱桿失靈了。work在這里意為“工作；有效”。21B聯(lián)系上文可知，作者找的理由是舊車的操縱桿壞了，因此這兒與之相應(yīng)的動詞應(yīng)當是“操作(drive)”。22D由于作者的第一步行動只是找了個借口，結(jié)果失敗了，因此

43、可以推知作者的第二步行動更“直白；明確(obvious)”了。23A由下一段第一句“. that he certainly could afford to miss .”可知本處應(yīng)選A項。24D根據(jù)上下文可知，本句意為：“他的回應(yīng)(response)是他的確不想買遙控車”。25D根據(jù)上一段最后一句“You cant _ to miss out on this bargain！”可知此處應(yīng)選D項。26B聯(lián)系下文可知，爸爸認為250美元可以買一些有教育意義的東西，one指代的是前文提到過的東西，something代替某種東西，故選B項。27C根據(jù)文化背景常識可知，作者覺得97歲應(yīng)該在“養(yǎng)老院(nu

44、rsing home)”里待著。28D根據(jù)前文講到的作者多次提到買車均被爸爸拒絕，以及后文“how mean my father was”可推知作者此時的心情應(yīng)該是“憤怒的(angry)”。29C前文講到作者很憤怒，因此覺得爸爸根本不“在乎(care)”他的心情。30B根據(jù)后文“on Christmas morning”可知此處填woke up符合語境。go off意為“睡著；入睡”，ring up意為“給打電話”，find out意為“查明；弄清”，均不符合語境。31D根據(jù)前面作者認為爸爸根本不會給他買遙控車，以及前文“I wasnt excited”可知此時作者的心情應(yīng)是“挫敗(defea

45、ted)”的。32C根據(jù)前文“I opened all my presents”可推測，此時只剩最后一個包裹。33D聯(lián)系上下文可知作者拆開了包裹，由下文可知package是包在box外面的，因此應(yīng)該用remove, reopen意為“重開業(yè)；恢復(fù)”。34A聯(lián)系上文的“I had been defeated”可知，作者在得到遙控車之后的心情應(yīng)是覺得自己成功了，故選A項。35D聯(lián)系上文可知作者在得到遙控車之后十分興奮，覺得自己能做任何事情，“甚至(even)”可以在英語課上得A。第二節(jié)語法填空(共10小題；每小題1.5分，滿分15分)閱讀下面短文，在空格處填入適當?shù)膬?nèi)容(每空不多于三個單詞)或使用

50、tThat/It depends.“看情況而定”。39a該空填不定冠詞a，表“一個”。40probably所給詞在句中作狀語修飾動詞going，應(yīng)填副詞形式probably。41harder這里指“要更努力尋找顧客”，應(yīng)用比較級，填harder。42beginners所給詞在句中作介詞for的賓語，且根據(jù)句意“對于初學(xué)者而言學(xué)習(xí)駕駛通常是個緊張的經(jīng)歷”可知該空填beginners“初學(xué)者”。43to sit根據(jù)get sb. to do sth.“讓某人做某事”結(jié)構(gòu)可知該空填to sit。44closed所給詞在句中作補語， close與其邏輯主語their eyes為被動關(guān)系，用其過去分詞形

51、式作補語。45than根據(jù)空格前的比較級more nervous可知該空填than。第三部分寫作(共兩節(jié)，滿分35分)第一節(jié)短文改錯(每小題1分，滿分10分)英語課上，老師要求同桌同學(xué)相互修改作文。假設(shè)以下短文為你同桌所寫，請你對其進行修改。文中共有10處錯誤，每句中最多有兩處。錯誤涉及一個單詞的增加、刪除或修改。增加：在缺詞處加一個漏詞符號()，并在此符號下面寫出該加的詞。刪除：把多余的詞用斜線()劃掉。修改：在錯的詞下劃一橫線，并在該詞下面寫出修改后的詞。注意：1.每處錯誤及其修改均僅限一詞。2只允許修改10處，多者(從第11處起)不計分。3必須按答題要求做題，否則不給分。Today my
