1．(2020·济宁质检)In his victory speech，________ before a huge crowd of his supporters，Obama declared that“Change has come to America”．
A．having delivered B．to be delivered
C．delivering D．delivered
解析：delivered在句中作非限制性定语，修饰his victory speech。

因为非谓语动词与所修饰词为动宾关系，故用过去分词。

A．except B．but
C．besides D．beside
解析：考查介词辨析。

句意：除了英语之外，约翰还会其他外语吗？except和but 均表示“除……之外”，无“除……之外还……”之意，beside为介词，意为“在……旁边”，据题意可知，应选C项。

答案：C
3．Due to the heavy rain and flooding，ten million people have been forced ________ their homes.
A．leaving B．to leave
C．to be left D．being left
解析：考查非谓语动词。

答案：B
4．One day I________ a newspaper article about one in six European mammal species threatened with extinction.
A．came across B．came about
C．came after D．came at
解析：考查动词短语。

6．After the meeting，I ________ to write a report on our next term's work.

答案：B
7．It was the third time that I________ of the changes of the timetable.
A．had informed B．had been informed
C．has informed D．has been informed
解析：考查时态和语态。

在“It is the＋序数词＋time that...”句型中，从句常用现在完成时；而在“It was the＋序数词＋time that...”句型中，从句常用过去完成时，所以先排除C项和D项；inform sb. of sth.为固定结构，表示“通知某人某事”，此处为此结构的被动语态，所以B项正确。

答案：B

give off“释放(光、热、气味等)”；give in“屈服，让步”；give up“放弃”，都不符合题意。

give out“释放(光、热、气味、声音等)，用完、耗尽、分发”，其中“分发”一义符合句意。

Ⅲ.阅读理解
A
“My mother and her mother were very close，”said Barbara.“It would be safe to say they were soul mates.”Barbara and her mother Virginia were also very close，and thus the three women had a special relationship.Barbara said，“I remember my grandma singing me her favorite song，The Tennessee Waltz. She was loving, kind and totally devoted to her family.”
When she was 16, Barbara's beloved grandma died.Virginia was so sad that it took a long time before she was able to remember her mother with happiness instead of sorrow. Years passed.When she was in her fifties，Barbara needed an operation. “It was a success, and the best part about it was that, while asleep, I saw my grandma！She was young, wearing a white dress. She had beautiful curls in her hair and was dancing to The Tennessee Waltz！”When Barbara awoke, she immediately told a nurse what she had experienced, and the nurse smiled as usual, in the manner she always treated her patients.
In less than a month after Barbara's operation, Virginia's health became poor. Barbara took care of her mother，and her husband and children took turns watching her as well.One night, Barbara entered Virginia's room. “Mom had the most beautiful look on her face，”Barbara said.Virginia was staring at the ceiling, smiling. Then she looked at Barbara
and said,“I saw your grandma. She was a young girl wearing a white dress. She had beautiful curls. And she was dancing to The Tennessee Waltz！”
Barbara was very surprised. She had never told her mother about her own experience. How could Virginia have known? Virginia died just nine days later. Barbara continued to believe that the three of them would meet again.

Black-footed ferrets (雪貂) used to be in big trouble. The creatures are North America's only native ferret species.By the late 1970s, scientists thought that black-footed ferrets had become extinct in the wild.
Over the years, the number of ferrets has mirrored the number of prairie dogs (草原犬鼠) in the area. Prairie dogs make up 90 percent of what ferrets eat. Farmers have long viewed prairie dogs as pests, and used to kill them. At the same time, diseases swept through the prairie dog community and wiped out many of them.
As their food supply declined, ferret populations suffered as well. In the 1970s, scientists tried to raise ferrets and introduce them into the wild after they grew up. Their efforts failed, and biologists thought that the animals had become extinct.
Then, in 1981, a farmer's dog discovered black-footed ferrets near Meatiest, a town in northwest Wyoming.State wildlife managers trapped as many of the animals as they could. In total, they caught 18. Scientists from the Smithsonian Institution's National Zoological Park in Washington, D．C. then attempted to feed these survivors.
The researchers eventually managed to feed seven ferrets. Over many generations, the group and its offspring (后代)have successfully produced more than 4,800 animals.Since then, biologists have introduced ferrets that were raised by people in 12 other places. At least two thirds of these populations seem to be doing well. To know for sure if the reintroductions are working, scientists will have to carefully study the animals and their progress.
语篇解读：北美的黑足雪貂曾经濒临灭绝，科学家们想了许多办法使它们的数目得到增加。

5．In the 1970s，scientists tried to ________.
A．feed as many prairie dogs as possible for black-footed ferrets to eat
B．persuade the public to keep black-footed ferrets in their own houses
C．kill prairie dogs to keep the balance of nature
D．introduce black-footed ferrets into the wild
解析：细节理解题。

根据文章第三段第二句可知科学家让雪貂回到大自然中。

答案：D
6．We can infer from the passage that ________.
A．the population of black-footed ferrets will increase
B．scientists will fail to save the black- footed ferrets
C．more black-footed ferrets will be caught and raised by people
D．scientists are sure that the reintroductions are working well
解析：推理判断题。

文章最后一段提到研究者成功地培育出4800多头雪貂，然后把这些雪貂引到12个其他的地方，并且有三分之二的雪貂活得很好，因此可推出雪貂的数目将会增加。

答案：A
7．What do scientists have to do if they want to know whether the reintroductions are working?
A．They have to raise more black-footed ferrets.
B．They have to ask biologists for help.
C．They have to study the black-footed ferrets and their progress.
D．They have to introduce black-footed ferrets to some more places.
解析：细节理解题。

根据文章最后一段最后一句可知答案为C。

答案：C
8．What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．Black-footed ferrets are in danger of dying out.
B．How to prevent black-footed ferrets from disappearing.
C．What local people have done to protect the black-footed ferrets.
D．Scientists are trying to raise the number of black-footed ferrets.
解析：主旨大意题。

文章主要介绍科学家想了许多办法使雪貂的数目得到增加，故D项正确。

答案：D
C
The Paralympics(残疾人奥运会) is a word formed from the two words “parallel”which means “similar” and “Olympics”，and while they are often in the shadow of their “older_brother”，the energy and excitement of the Paralympics is in everyway a parallel of the Olympic Games.
Many of the events held in the Paralympics are similar to those of the Olympics.For example，basketball，fencing，rugby and tennis are all played，but the athletes use wheelchairs.Football，judo，and cycling are events for athletes with visual impairment.
Other events included in the Paralympics are variations on familiar sports.For example，a variation of volleyball，sitting volleyball，is played by disabled athletes (for
example，people who have lost one or both legs)．In this game，players sit on the court rather than stand.
Paralympians are a more different group than their Olympic counterparts.For one，the age range is much wider.The youngest Paralympian in 2004 was 11-year-old swimmer Qingqing Xu and the oldest was 66-year-old sailor David Williams.They are also different in their abilities.
On the whole，these athletes prefer to be called “athletes with disabilities”rather than “disabled athletes”—they wish to focus more on the word “athlete”than the word “disabled”．These athletes wish to be viewed as “having”disabilities rather than “suffering from” or being “afflicted by” them.Ten-time Paralympic gold medalist Caz Walton doesn't mind being called a “wheelchair-user”，but she adds，“please don't call me wheelchair-bound or confined to a wheelchair.”
The Paralympics have been a part of the Olympic Games since 1960，when just 400 athletes competed.In 2004，this number rose to over 4,000，and even larger numbers are expected to compete in London in 2020.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了残奥会的赛事项目，并将其与奥运会作了比较。

9．The underlined words “older brother” in the first paragraph refer to ________.
A．the winter Olympic Games
B．the players' elder brothers at home
C．the energy and excitement
D．the Olympic Games for the healthy players
解析：推理判断题。

第一段提到残奥会一直处于“老大哥”的阴影之下，接着又说，但是残奥会所带来的激情与活力一点也不输给奥运会。

说明这个“老大哥”就是奥运会。

答案：D
10．From the second paragraph we can see the main difference between the Paralympics and the Olympics is ________.
A．the tools the players use
B．the events to be held
C．the number of the players
D．the women to be allowed to take part in
解析：推理判断题。

残奥会和奥运会的赛事项目基本相似，但是由于残奥会运动员的身体情况而使他们不得不借助于轮椅或者其他辅助设施，因此，二者的不同之处在于是否借助辅助设施。

答案：A
11．According to the passage Paralympians and Olympic counterparts are also different in ________.
A．dreams of success
B．efforts to winning success
C．age range and abilities
D．family history
解析：细节理解题。

由第四段可知，残奥会与奥运会有许多不同之处，其一就是
残奥会运动员的年龄范围限制很小，其二是残疾运动员的身体情况使得他们的能
力和正常的运动员的能力也有所不同。

答案：C
12．From the fifth paragraph we can learn that Paralympian hope for ________.
A．gold medals B．respect
C．social help D．attention
解析：推理判断题。

这些运动员更愿意被人们称作“有缺陷运动员”，而不是“残
疾运动员”。

他们希望人们的目光更多的集中在“运动员”上而不是“残疾”上。

说明他们希望别人看待他们像看待正常人一样，即希望得到尊重。

答案：B
Ⅳ.任务型阅读/任务型读写
阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。

注意：每个空格只填一个单词。

Some people believe that greed and selfishness has become the basis of modern society，and we should return to the old traditions of family and community then we will have a better life.To what extent do you agree or disagree with the above opinion?
In this fast-paced world，many values are undergoing major changes.While people traditionally prioritize caring，sharing and generosity in life and work，modern people seem to be more self-absorbed and self-concerned.
Modern people act selfishly to survive the harsh competition of life.They say that it is a jungle out there.To survive，you have to fight with whatever means that come handy.Obviously greed and selfishness go perfectly well with such ideas.In a company，employees do everything they can to get better pay and higher position，even at the cost of colleagues.We are in any way advocating any selfish conduct.It is just that people are pressured to act in a certain way due to outside influences.
In spite of common practice，it is hard to conclude that modern society is built on greed and selfishness，both of which are not newly invented vocabulary.In ancient times people
also did greedy and selfish things though such behaviors were more condemned then.But we can not ignore the fact that people in the past lived a relatively more isolated life and faced less pressure compared with their modern counterparts.
Are we happier to share with others and be generous to them？There is no fixed answer either.Some people take great pleasure
helping and giving to others while others feel happy doing the opposite.But I personally think that people should not be too selfish.Caring for others can actually encourage the development of a mutually beneficial relationship.
In conclusion，modern people appear to be more self-centered than those in the past due to strong outside pressure.However，we should encourage people to know the importance of being caring and generous and to build a mutually beneficial relationship with others.
Are Modern People Becoming More Selfish?
