考点分类练(四) 推理推断题(2)(限时:25分钟)Passage1(2024安徽淮南二模)From the time I was a young girl,all I wanted was to play outside.I used the ferns (蕨类植物) in my childhood backyard to raise myself up muddy Pacific Northwest slopes (斜坡),sat by the edge of the property’s wo oded stream and imagined it was a winding river.Hours were spent on horseback,prepared with bags and snacks to ride the same path over and over,always dreaming up a new experience.As an adult,my interests are consistent,though the landscape has shifted.For the last four years,I have had the opportunity to explore our Earth’s most remote cold water locations as an underwater videographer and ocean-focused naturalist,developing an appreciation and understanding for challenging corners of the globe.Though my travels have taken me from Antarctica to the Arctic,it’s the temperate in-between that captivatesme.During the last four years,Southeast Alaska,particularly the Inian Islands in its incredible wildness and productivity,has stolen my attention.My name is Alyssa Adler,I am the Inian Islands Institute’s 2024 Scientist in Residence and National Geographic grant recipient for project Tall Trees in Cold Seas.The natural beauty of the Inians is pure,but the environment works for it.Massive rushing tides (潮水) flood the Hobbit Hole twice daily,like an angry river.Sometimes I learn some meaningful and useful lessons the hard way.Transportation of extensive dive equipment required the help of people in Ketchikan,Gustavus and otherplaces.These lessons only allow my respect for this region to the full,teaching me how to be successful.I need to learn and understand the power and network of Southeast Alaska,both in the water and out.It’s all worth it to roll into the salty Pacific Ocean,turn on my cameras as I sink to the seafloor,and shine my lights on early spring in the Inian Islands.1.Whatisthepurposeofthefirstparagraph?A.To share an amazing story.B.To introduce a unique plant.C.To suggest a special river.D.To explain the author’s wish.2.What does the underlined word “captivate” mean in paragraph 2?A.Surprise.B.Discourage.C.Worry.D.Attract.3.WhatdoyouthinkofAlyssaAdler’sjob?A.Boring.B.Demanding.C.Challenging.D.Well-paid.4.Whatmessagedoesthetextconvey?A.Love breaks down barriers.B.Hard work finally pays off.C.Ups and downs make one strong.D.Enthusiasm fuels devotion.Passage2(2024广东湛江二模)As you walk around the UK in March,you might notice that some people are wearing a daffodil(水仙花) on their coats.The British wear these yellow flowers to show they support one of this country’s best-known charities:the Marie Curie Cancer Care.The Marie Curie Cancer Care tries to ensure everyone diagnosed with cancer is cared for in the best possible way.It also helps fund research into possible cures through other organizations.Founded in 1948,it has been continuing with its goal ever since.The charity was named after Marie Curie,a renowned scientist.She experimented with newly-discovered elements to create the theory ofradioactivity.Unfortunately,over-exposure to the radioactive elements made her develop a disease and die in 1934.Marie Curie won the Nobel Prize in two different fields.Because of her pioneering work which led to chemotherapy (化学疗法),thecharity shared the name of Marie Curie.The daffodil is one of the first plants to flower during spring in the UK,which marks the return of flowering plants to the ecosystem after winter.Because ofthis,the charity uses the daffodil as a metaphor for bringing life to other people through charitable giving.Everyone you see wearing a daffodil has donated money to the charity,but each daffodil is worth only what you want to pay for it.The charity does ask that youstick to a minimum amount of £1.The charity encourages people to start wearing their daffodils at the start of March,when the “Great Daffodil Appeal” kicks off.But that doesn’t mean you can only wear them in March.People are sometimes seen walking around with daffodils on their clothes all year round.5.What does it mean when the British wear a daffodil on their coats?A.They support a charity.B.They are recovering from cancer.C.They’ve been helped by a charity.D.They’ve been diagnosed with cancer.6.What does the underlined word “renowned” in paragraph 3 mean?A.Beautiful.B.Modest.C.Famous.D.Humorous.7.WhywasthecharitynamedafterMarieCurie?A.Because patients required that.B.Because it was launched by her.C.Because she greatly supported it.D.Because it could show respect for her.8.Whatcanwelearnaboutthedaffodilfromthetext?A.It can be used as medicine.B.It’s thought to stand for hope.C.It’s widely worn worldwide.D.It’s sold to the wearers at a high price.Passage3(2024辽宁鞍山二模)We have long been attracted by quick solutions that could increase our intelligence.Today,people’s hopes lie in brain training apps,some of which claim to result in “smarter minds”.But is this quick solution all it is said to be?There are plenty of brain training apps,but they all share the same characteristics:they turn mental exercises like simple arithmetic (算术),memory testsand logic and pattern-matching problems into quick games.Some apps tell us that the more you play these mini-games,the smarter you will get.It is really a big promise.Many of the apps say they are based on “science”,a claim I found surprising as a former neuroscientist (神经系统科学家).The concept that increasing intelligence would be as simple as practicing a few mini-games every day flies in the face of what we have discovered about how humans think and learn.After surveying thousands of users across a wide variety of apps,researchers at Western University in Canada discovered that brain training had no great effect on cognitive (认知的) functioning in the real world.The positive effects that have been found are limited to the very specific mini-games and tasks that users are trained on,such as the ability to memorize lists of words or numbers,or perform mental arithmetic,with little benefit to other skills.If you are expecting them to improve your ability to write a novel or make a complex computer program,I am afraid you will want to look elsewhere.Puzzle video games such as “Baba Is You” and “Return of the Obra Dinn”,see players apply their skill at logic,memory and concentration in a far more complex way than any brain training mini-game.9.What does the author say about brain training apps?A.They have scientific support.B.They work in the form of games.C.They require problem-solving skills.D.They are based on complex arithmetic.10.What does the underlined part “flies in the face of” in paragraph 3 mean?A.Goes into details of.B.Takes advantage of.C.Goes against.es from.11.Whichbestdescribestheeffectsthatbraintrainingappshaveonmemory?A.Limited.B.Indirect.C.Damaging.D.Far-reaching.12.Whatistheauthor’sattitudeto“BabaIsYou”?A.Doubtful.B.Intolerant.C.Uninterested.D.Favorable.答案:考点分类练(四)

2024届高考英语二轮复习核心专题精讲精练题3.1+语法填空(一)(考情分析+真题回顾+最新含答案
【重难题型•精准破解】2024届高考英语二轮复习核心专题精讲精练专题3.1高考英语语法填空(一)一、考情分析语法填空重在语境中考查考生的语法和词汇综合语言运用能力。
它是命题人在预先选好的一篇地道的英语文章中,在保证句子成分、结构和语法等有效解题信息基本完备的基础上,挖去10个空,这10个空根据有无提示词可分为有提示词类和无提示词类两种。
在语法填空中,有提示词的题目最重要的考点就是动词的谓语、非谓语和词性转换,其它的考点还包括名词复数、代词形式、形容词比较级最高级、名词形容词词性转换等。
其中谓语动词的时态、语态和非谓语形式是考查的难点。
这里我们主要讲解无提示词的语法填空题。
一般情况下,一篇语法填空中应该包括3-4道无提示词的题目。
对于这类题目,首先一定要明确题目要求:每个空格只能填一个词。
然后是这类题目的考点,主要包括以下的三项:1、从句关系词或逻辑关系连词;2、介词本义或常用介词相关短语搭配;3、冠词对名词的限定作用。
其中从句关系词和冠词是考查的难点,也是学生容易忽视的地方。
无提示词的考查请看下表:无提示词类:一般设置3个小题高频考点介词0-1题:重点考查常见介词的基本用法或固定搭配中的介词,一般不涉及短语介词。
冠词0-1题:重点考查冠词的特指、泛指用法或固定搭配中的冠词,一般不涉及零冠词。
从属连词0-2题:侧重于定语从句的引导词。
此外,名词性从句、状语从句的引导词也偶有涉及。
低频考点并列连词0-1题:并列句的连词也偶有涉及。
其它0-1题:包括助动词(如强调谓语动词的do,does,did ;构成部分倒装的do,does,did ;构成一般疑问句的do,does,did ),构成强调结构的it 或that ,连接性副词(before,ago,however,anyway ...)等。
虽然无提示词的设空不多,但恰恰是学生感到为难的地方。
高中阶段,好多学生不太注重语法知识的学习,连基本的语法现象都弄不明白,分析句子结构很成问题,尤其是从句这一块,老是分不清句子中的从句属于哪一类从句。

My father reached down,picked up the bill,tapped the man on t he shoulder and said,“Excuse me,sir,this fell out of your pocket.”The man knew what was going on.He wasn’t begging for money but certainly appreciated the help in a difficult,embarrassing situation.He looked straight into my dad’s eyes,took my dad’s hand in both of his,and he replied,“Thank you,thank you,sir.T his really means a lot to me and my family.”My father and I went back to our car and drove home.We didn’t go to the circus that night,but we didn’t go without.1.The underlined word “jabbering”( in Para.1) can be best replaced by“”.A.imaginingB.talkingC.expectingD.asking2.When the ticket lady told the price,the wife .A.hardly heardB.hardly understoodC.was disappointedD.was relaxed3.Which of the following words can be best used to describe the writer’s father?( )A.H onest.B.Kind.C.Wise.D.Faithful.4.We can infer from the last paragraph thatA.The author and his father returned home with regret.B.The author and his father were unhappy about missing the circus.C.The author and his father were very happy with helping a man in a circus.D.The author and his father returned home with another kind of joy and comfort.5.Which of the following is true according to the text?( )A.The author and his father bought the tickets at last.B.The author and his father went home unhappy.C.The author and his father didn’t see the circus.D.The author got nothing at last.语篇解读:作者叙述和父亲买票看马戏表演时发生的事,作者得到了很大的收获:帮助他人得到了快乐、真情和满足。

Automotive,a Chicagobased company,has now demonstrated a solarpowered recharging point,known as the Solar PlugIn Station,which lets motorists easily charge their cars using electricity that has been produced without any environmental damage.The Solar PlugIn Station has gone on show in Chicago as part of the city’s bid to host the 2016 Ol ympic Games.According to Carbon Day Automotive,the Solar PlugIn Station on show in Chicago is part of the vital infrastructure(基础设施) required for electric vehicles in Chicago and was the focus of a recent visit by the International Olympic Committee.Thes e solarpowered electricity points will be used daily to fuel the city’s electric vehicles with power from the sun.By producing the electricity from pollutionfree solar cell,the CO2emissions are reduced to zero.“Solar energy and electric vehicles are a partnership that is one more step to reducing our dependence on foreign oil,” says Richard Lowenthal,CEO of Coulomb Technologies.Coulomb Technologies recently developed the components (部件) required for individual recharging stations,marketed as ChargePoint Networked Charging Stations.CarbonDay Automotive is the Midwest distributor for the ChargePoint stations.The Solar PlugIn Station consists of giant solar panels (电池板) that shade the tiny ChargePoint Networked Charging Station.The solar panel is connected to an underground battery pack,ready for everyday refueling.“Without these stations it would be like driving around in a traditional car without the availability of gas stations,” says Scott Emalfarb,CEO at Carbon Day.“The day of true plugin el ectric vehicles will be here sooner than most people realize and the world needs to be ready to accommodate them.”1.The Solar PlugIn Station is used as part of the bid to host the Olympics mainly because ________.A.it’s environmentally friendlyB.it makes up for the lack of electricityC.it’s a new idea and attracts people’s attentionD.it brings convenience to electric vehicle

changes caused by shifts in barometric pressure,a team of researchers found that increases in underground pressure came before earthquakes along California’s San Andreas Fault by as much as 10 hours.If followup tests confirm these findings,seismologists may eventually be able to provide a few hours’ notice for people to find a safe place before quakes.“Predicting earthquakes is the final goal for seismologists,” says Fenglin Niu,the research team’s lead author and a Rice University seismologist.“This is a start.”The research team theorizes that the immense amount of pressure building along the Fault causes small cracks within the rock during the final hours before an earthquake,which increases rock density and slows the transmission signals.“The more cracks you have,the slower the seismic velocity (震波速度) will be,” says study coauthor Paul Silver,a geophysicist with the Carnegie Institution of Washington.Still unknown is whether there is any significance to the fact that the magnitude3 quake had a much longer p reseismic signal than lowermagnitude quakes,or whether it was simply because its magnitude was larger and its epicenter (震中) was closer to the sensors.If scientists can flesh out the new findings during future earthquakes—a twoyear study at the same se ismically active location begins this September—it could form the basis of a vastly improved earlywarning system for quakes.Current earthquakewarning systems give just a few seconds’ notice because they detect only Pwaves,the fastmoving seismic waves t hat precede the more destructive waves released during a quake.Upgrading to a seismic stress meter,however,is still a long way off.1.The author wrote this passage to tell us something about ________.A.a traditional way of predicting earthquakesB.the importance of predicting earthquakesC.a new way of predicting earthquakesD.the damages caused by horrible earthquakes2.According to the passage,we can infer that the traditional way of predicting earthquakes ________.A.costs much more than the new oneB.produces accurate informationC.does not provide enough time for people to escapeD.is less accurate than the new one3.The new way mentioned in the passage predicts earthquakes by ________.A.measuring the changes of the PwavesB.looking for the epicenter closest to the sensorsC.watching the movements of rocks above the groundD.measuring the pressure underneath the ground4.Which of the following factors probably will NOT influence the preseismic signal?A.The weather in the earthquake area.B.The magnitude of the earthquake.C.The position of the sensors.D.The position of the epicenter.5.According to the last paragraph,we learn that ______.A.the new discovery will be put into use soonB.a vastly improved earlywarning system has been formedC.the new discovery will be tested in the futureD.the current earthquakewarning systems are not useful答案Ⅰ.1.A 2.C 3.A 4.C 5.C 6.C 7.C 8.A 9.B 10.C 11.A12.A 13.D 14.A

入舵市安恙阳光实验学校高考题型提能练二十四Unit 24 SocietyⅠ.阅读理解A(2016·安徽重点中学联考)Can dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home? People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cats are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found a new recipe for success. According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. Twothirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog.However, it wasn't all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals are just opposite. For example, when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression, while a dog doing the same signals submission.In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behavior. They are learning how to talk each other's language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk “Dog”,and dogs can learn how to talk “Cat”.What's interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence. They can learn how to read each other's body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than was previously suspected. Once familiar with each other's presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa. They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom (梳理) each other.The significance of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets —to people who don't get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.1.The underlined word “swimmingly” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to “________”.A.earlyB.sweetlyC.quicklyD.smoothly2.What is found surprising about cats and dogs?A.They eat and sleep together.B.They observe each other's behaviors.C.They learn to speak each other's language.D.They know something from each other's voices.3.It is suggested in Paragraph 4 that cats and dogs ________.A.have common interestsB.are less different than thoughtC.have a common body languageD.are less intelligent than expected4.What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?A.We should learn to live in harmony.B.We should know more about animals.C.We should live in peace with animals.D.We should learn more body languages.BPerhaps you think you could easily add to your happiness with more money.Strange as it may seem, if you're unsatisfied, the issue is not a lack of means to meet your desires but a lack of desires — not that you cannot satisfy your tastes but that you don't have enough tastes.Real riches consist of welldeveloped and hearty capacities to enjoy life.Most people are already swamped (淹没) with things.They eat, wear, go and talk toomuch.They_live_in_too_big_a_house_with_too_many_rooms,_yet_their_hou se_of_life_is_a_hut.Your house of life ought to be a mansion (豪宅), a royal palace.Every new taste, every additional interest, every fresh enthusiasm adds a room.Here are several rooms your house of life should have.Art should be a desire for you to develop simply because the world is full of beautiful things.If you only understood how to enjoy them and feed your spirit on them, they would make you as happy as to find plenty of ham and eggs when you're hungry.Literature, classic literature, is a beautiful, richly furnished room where you might find many an hour of rest and refreshment.To gain that love would go toward making you a rich person, for a rich person is not someone who has a library but who likes a library.Music like Mozart's and Bach's shouldn't be absent.Real riches are of the spirit.And when you've brought that spirit up to where classical music feeds it and makes you a little drunk, you have increased your thrills and bettered them.And life is a matter of thrills.Sports, without which you remain poor, mean a lot in life.No matter who you are, you would be more human, and your house of life would be better supported against the bad days, if you could, and did, play a bit.Whatever rooms you might add to your house of life, the secret of enjoying life is to keep adding.5.The author intends to tell us that________.A.true happiness lies in achieving wealth by fair meansB.big houses are people's most valued possessionsC.big houses can in a sense bring richness of lifeD.true happiness comes from spiritual riches6.The underlined sentence in the second paragraph probably impliesthat________.A.however materially rich, they never seem to be satisfiedB.however materially rich, they remain spiritually poorC.though their house is big, they prefer a simple lifeD.though their house is big, it seems to be a cage7.It can be learned from the passage that________.A.more money brings more happinessB.art is needed to make your house beautifulC.literature can enrich your spiritual lifeD.sports contribute mainly to your physical fitness8.What would be the best title for the passage?A.House of LifeB.Secret of WealthC.Rest and RefreshmentD.Interest and EnthusiasmⅡ.任务型阅读Some Steps for Breaking Through Your Comfort ZoneA comfort zone is a selfimposed boundary where a person will refuse to push past.

bodies tested for 89 environmental pollutants—including pesticides (杀虫剂) and chemicals found in plastics and cleaning products.On average 20 chemicals were found on their bodies or in their homes.Much is unknown about the possible health effects of chemicals in everyday household products.But certain chemicals—like phthalates (邻苯二甲酸盐) found in plastics—have been linked to potential health risks,including higher risks of certain cancers,though the evidence mainly comes from research on lab animals.Other household chemicals are known to harm the skin,eyes and airways—and may worsen asthma (哮喘).Many more chemicals found remain untested.Chemicals likely come from a range of sources,so it is not always clear how to reduce people’s exposure,according to Dr.Rebecca Altman,the lead researcher on the new study.“However,” she said,“there are still measures people can take.”In the original study,she noted,women were given advice based on the particular chemicals they were exposed to—such as using fragrancefree washing liquid and personalcare products.For the current study,Altman and her colleagues interviewed two dozen women who’d taken part in the previous study to see how they would react to information about their household chemical exposures.They found that the women were generally surprised at the range of chemicals found in their homes and bodies.They were also surprised that even some banned things were found.With many questions about the health effects of household chemicalsunanswered,some experts worry that giving people information about their everyday exposures will cause unnecessary fear.However,the researchers found that the women in their study were typically not alarmed,and instead wanted “more rather than less” information on the issue.1.Which of the following statements about chemicals in household products is TRUE?A.Some of them have bad effects on health,while some have good effects.B.Longterm exposure to them is certain to cause a deadly illness.C.In the study it was found that certain chemicals can cause cancers.D.It is uncertain what effects some chemicals have on health.2.The underlined word “airways” in Paragraph 3 most probably refers to ________.A.the passage running from your nose and throat to the lungsB.things that look like fine threads growing in the bodyC.the passage between rows of rooms in a buildingD.the area just inside the front door of a building3.According to Dr.Rebecca Altman,________.A.women were more likely to be harmed by chemicalsB.fragrant products may contain harmful chemicalsC.it is unnecessary to inform people about the study resultsD.further study on everyday products should be done immediately 4.What was the women’s attitude towards the study results?A.They were angry that so many chemicals were found.B.They refused to be subjects for the study any more.C.They were afraid of getting bad news about their health.D.They would like to know more related information.答案Ⅰ.1.A 2.C

Reactions from Americans are mixed.More than half of the people questioned in a survey think ecigarettes should be controlled by the US Food and Drug Administration,but 47 percent believe the ecigarettes should be available to the smokers who want to quit.“In the hunt for a safer cigarette,ecigarettes are becoming a popular choice among those either trying to quit or looking to replace standard tobacco smoke with an alternative that manufacturers claim to be safer,” Zogby International,which conducted the survey,said in a statement.About half of the 4,611 adults who took part in the survey had heard about ecigarettes,which are batterypowered,or rechargeable cigarettes that vaporize a liquid nicotine solution.They do not produce smoke but a water vapor without smell.Sold mostly on the Internet,ecigarettes were first made in China.Last year the World Health Organization (WHO) warned against using ecigarettes,saying there was no evidence to prove they were safe or helped smokers break the habit.The WHO said people who smo ke ecigarettes breat he in a fine fog of nicotine into the lungs.Nearly a third of people q uestioned in the survey think thatecigarettes should be allowed in places where smoking is forbidden,because they don’t produce smoke,but 46 percent disagree.Men who were aware of the availability of ecigarettes were more likely than w omen to say they should be a choice available to smokers who want to quit.Young people,aged 18-29,and singles were the groups most open to trying ecigarettes.Smoking is the single largest cause of preventable death worldwide,according to the WHO.1.What can we lea rn from Paragraph 1?A.American smokers ought to try ecigarettes.B.Americans have different opinions about ecigarettes.C.Every kind of cigarettes should be forbidden in America.D.Most of the Americans don’t like ecigarettes.2.According to Zogby International,ecigarettes ______.A.are much safer than common cigarettesB.are popular among people who want to quit smokingC.will take the place of traditional cigarettesD.are produced in a safer way by manufacturers3.What do we know about ecigarettes from the passage?A.Most Americans are familiar with them.B.They are a good choice as there is no nicotine.C.They produce a water vapor that c an’t be seen.D.Most people buy them on the Internet.4.What’s the attitude of the WHO towards ecigarettes?A.Negative.B.Supportive.C.Doubtful.D.Indifferent.答案Ⅰ.1.C 2.D 3.C 4.C 5.D 6.B 7.A 8.B 9.C 10.C 11.C 12.A 13.B 14.B 15.BⅡ.1.D 2.C 3.D 4.B 5.A 6.C 7.D 8.B 9.A 10.C 11.D 12.A 13.B 14.C 15.B 16.C 17.D 18.A 19.B 20.C Ⅲ.1.B 2.B 3.D 4.A。

easier to survive in difficult conditions.There are several conditions they have had to adapt to.First,the soil of the forest floor is shallow.Also,the soil of the rainforest is not very rich,or easy to grow in.Next is the problem of very heavy rain which continues over a large part of the year.Finally,many plants of the rainforest are food for animals that live there.The biggest problem that rainforest plants have to adapt to is the lack of sunlight in the rainforest’s lower levels.Plants have adapted to this problem in several ways.Many plants have very large leaves.The large leaf is helpful because it has a bigger surface area.The bigger surface area a leaf has,the more sunlight it can absorb.The canopy trees adapt by growing to be 100 feet tall so that their leaves can grab all available sunlight.Other plants called lianas (climbing woody vines) have adapted by rooting themselves in the soil of the forest floor and growing up the trees until they reach the canopy layer.Still other plants,such as epiphytes,have adapted by growing directly on the trees’trunks and branches in the canopy and understory layers of the rainforest.An adaptation to the large amounts of rainfall that many rainforest plants have is called “drip tips”.Their leaves are tapered (逐渐变细) to a sharp point at the end.This allows water to run off the leaf quickly.There are many other adaptations that rainforest plants havemade to their environment.These will be discussed in detail,as we investigate the plants of the rainforest!1.Which of the following is a difficulty that the rainforest plants have to face?A.Changes in their “body” or “habits”.B.Soil that is not very deep.C.Epiphytes that grow on trees’ trunks.D.The worsening of the natural environment.2.How do lianas adapt to the environment in the rainforest?A.They grow under big leaves for protection.B.They rely on other plants to reach the canopy layer.C.They change their leaf structure constantly.D.They grow on other plants’ branches.3.The underlined word “This” in Para.3 probably refers to________.A.the takein of sunlightB.the large amounts of rainfallC.the leaves’ having a sharp point at the endD.water’s running off the leaves quickly4.What can be inferred about rainforest plants?A.They have to face dangers not only from animals but also from each other.B.Too little sunlight and too much water are the biggest problems they face.C.Different kinds of plants have different ways to absorb sunlight.D.All of their adaptations have been investigated in detail.5.What would be the best title of the passage?A.How Do Plants Adapt to the Rainforests?B.Why Do Plants Change Themselves?C.What Kind of Plants Is the Most Adaptable?D.What Is the Best Place for Plants to Live in?答案Ⅰ.1.B 2.D 3.D 4.B 5.D 6.B 7.C 8.B 9.C
