13、nd other creatures for television shows，movies，and photo shoots(現(xiàn)在，這對夫婦把馴鹿、駱駝、山羊和其他動物出租出去用于電視節(jié)目、電影和攝影)”可知，這對英國夫婦養(yǎng)這些動物是為了賺錢。故A項正確。13D推理判斷題。根據(jù)Marmots (土撥鼠)befriend a boy部分的 “A group of marmots in the Austrian Alps has made friends with eight-year-old Matteo Walch by chance，whose family vacations there

14、 in summer(奧地利阿爾卑斯山上的一群土撥鼠偶然結(jié)識了8歲的馬泰奧瓦爾奇，瓦爾奇一家夏天都在那里度假)”可推知，馬泰奧瓦爾奇去奧地利阿爾卑斯山是和家人一起去度假的。故D項正確。BAnimals, including insects, do not have a language like ours.They do not talk to each other in words and sentences.But if we watch them, we can see that they do have ways of communicating with each other.Can

30、通過分析現(xiàn)狀喚起人們對環(huán)境保護的意識。17A推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段“They saw that during the next 50 years about 25% of land animals and plants will disappear from the Earth.More than 1 million plants and animal species will die out by 2050.”可知：在未來的50年里，大約25%的陸地動植物會從地球上消失，超過100萬種動植物到2050的時候會滅絕。因此可知，全球變暖帶來的是動植物物種的不斷減少，這種影響對動植物來說是致命的。

31、故A項正確。18D目的意圖題。根據(jù)第一段“They wanted to find out if global warming was dangerous for plants and animals.The scientists were surprised by what they found(他們想弄清楚全球變暖對動植物是否有害?？茖W(xué)家們對他們的發(fā)現(xiàn)感到驚訝)”可知，這個研究的目的在于找出全球變暖對動植物的影響。故D項正確。19C標題推測題。根據(jù)第一段“They wanted to find out if global warming was dangerous for plants an

32、d animals.The scientists were surprised by what they found(他們想弄清楚全球變暖對動植物是否有害?？茖W(xué)家們對他們的發(fā)現(xiàn)感到驚訝)”以及后文可知，本文主要介紹研究全球變暖對動植物的影響及其研究發(fā)現(xiàn)?！耙粋€關(guān)于全球變暖的可怕發(fā)現(xiàn)”最適合作本文標題。故C項正確。20C細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段“Their studies showed that species living in mountainous areas had a better chance of survival because they could move uphill to

33、get cooler(他們的研究表明，生活在山區(qū)的物種有更好的生存機會，因為它們可以向高處移動，以獲得更涼爽的環(huán)境)”可知，研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，山區(qū)的物種幸存的幾率更大，因為它們可以往山上移動來避免熱浪的侵襲。故C項正確。第三部分完形填空(15分)Abbey Ahern, 34, who lives in Oklahoma, was devastated when she was _21_ at her 19-week scan that her daughter had the _22_ illnessanencephaly (先天無腦畸形)，which meant she would not liv
