(2017·云南昆明高三模拟)
In Wiltshire, England, volunteers are being sought to visit a nature protection area to count the butterflies living there and on surrounding fields. The project is promoted by an environmental protection organisation, which has contributed to improving the living environment for wild animals. Recently, the organisation has issued an appeal to help it observe environmental changes based on the record of butterflies and protect the environment.
In the area, the local people have planted many special flowers with the help of the organisation, aiming to see whether these flowers will interest the rare and beautiful butterflies. The project officer Sarah Marshall says, “It will be a suitable habitat (栖息地) for butterflies. They are great ‘indicator species’ as they are easily affected by climate changes so they make a brilliant early­warning system for the environment.〞She also points out that volunteers are needed to record the number or species of butterflies, and based on the change happening to the butterflies, the hidden environmental problems in the area can be found out in time.
The organisation is seeking volunteers to help monitor butterflies from April through to September. They will walk a fixed route and record the different butterflies they encounter along the way. Each visit should take no more than two hours, and each volunteer is expected to visit once a month to coun t the wildlife.“Staff will provide back up, so if the weather is poor on the day you are to visit (butterflies don't like to fly in the rain, wind or if it's too cloudy), we can have someone else do your job，〞Sarah points out.
No previous experience is necessary as training and support will be provided, but a keen interest is essential. If you are interested, please contact Sarah on (01380) 725670, ext 278, email sarahmwiltshirewildlife._org

〔2017·新课标卷Ⅲ〕
Minutes after the last movie ended yesterday at the Plaza Theater, employees were busy sweeping up popcorns and gathering coke cups. It was a scene that had been repeated many times in the theater’s 75-year history. This time, however, the cleanup was a little different. As one group of workers carried out the rubbish, another group began removing seats and other theater equipment in preparation for the building’s end.
The film classic The Last Picture Show was the last movie shown in the old theater. Though the movie is 30 years old, most of the 250 seats were filled with teary-eyed audience wanting to say good-bye to the old building. Theater owner Ed Bradford said he chose the movie because it seemed appropriate. The movie is set in a small town where the only movie theater is preparing to close down.
Bradford said that large modern theaters in the city made it impossible for the Plaza to compete. He added that the theater’s location(位置) was also a reason. ＂This used to be the center of town,＂ he said. ＂Now the area is mostly office buildings and warehouses.＂Last week some city officials suggested the city might be interested in turning the old theater
into a museum and public meeting place. However, these plans were abandoned because of financial problems. Bradford sold the building and land to a local development firm, which plans to build a shopping complex on the land where the theater is located.
The theater audience said good-bye as Bradford locked the doors for the last time. After 75 years the Plaza Theater had shown its last movie. The theater will be missed.
5．In what way was yesterday’s cleanup at the Plaza special?
A. It made room for new equipment.
B. It signaled the closedown of the theater.
C. It was done with the help of the audience.
D. It marked the 75th anniversary of the theater.
6．Why was The Last Picture Show put on?
A. It was an all-time classic.
B. It was about the history of the town.
C. The audience requested it.
D. The theater owner found it suitable.
7．What will probably happen to the building?
A. It will be repaired.
B. It will be turned into a museum.
C. It will be knocked down.
D. It will be sold to the city government.
8．What can we infer about the audience?
A. They are disappointed with Bradford.
B. They are sad to part with the old theater.
C. They are supportive of the city officials.
D. They are eager to have a shopping center.
5. B 细节理解题。

〔2017·卷〕
It was a cold March day in High Point, North Carolina. The girls on the Wesleyan Academy softball were waiting for their next turns at bat during practice, stamping their feet to stay warm, Eighth-grader Taylor Bisbee shivered(发抖) a little as she watched her teammate Paris White play. The two didn’t know each other well — Taylor had just moved to town a month or so before.
Sudd enly, Paris fell to the ground,“Paris’s eye rolled back,〞Taylor says. “She started shaking. I knew it was an emergency.〞
It certainly was, Paris had suffered a sudden heart failure. Without immediate medical care, Paris would die. At first no one moved. The girls were in shock. Then the softball coach shouted out, “Does anyone know CPR?〞
CPR is a life-saving technique. To do CPR, you press on the sick person’s chest so that blood moves through the body and takes oxygen to organs. Without oxygen the brain is damaging quickly.
Amazingly, Taylor had just taken a CPR course the day before. Still, she hesitated. She didn’t think she knew it well enough. But when no one else came forward, Taylor ran to Paris and began doing CPR, “It was scary. I knew it was the difference between life and death,〞says Taylor.
Taylor’s swift action helped her teammates calm down. One girl called 911. Two more ran to get the school nurse, who brought a defibrillator, an electronic devices(器械) that can shock
the heart back i nto work. Luck stayed with them: Paris’ heartbeat returned.
“I know I was really lucky,〞Paris says now. “Most people don’t survive this. My team saved my life.〞
Experts say Paris is right: For a sudden heart failure, the single best chance for survival is having someone nearby step in and do CPR quickly.
Today, Paris is back on the softball team. Taylor will apply to college soon. She wants to be a nurse. “I feel more confident in my actions now,〞Taylor says. “I know I can act under pressure in a scary situation.〞
9．What happened to Paris on a March day?
A. She caught a bad cold.
B. She had a sudden heart problem.
C. She was knocked down by a ball.
D. She shivered terribly during practice
10．Why does Paris say she was lucky?
A. She made a worthy friend.
B. She recovered from shock.
C. She received immediate CPR.
D. She came back on the softball team.
11．Which of the following words can best describe Taylor?
A. Enthusiastic and kind.
B. Courageous and calm.
C. Cooperative and generous.
D. Ambitious and professional.
11．通过她救Paris这件事可知她很勇敢，很镇静，不慌不忙，应当选B。

(2017·江西高安中学模拟)
Mouth bacteria grow fast in airless conditions.Oxygen rich saliva (唾液) keeps their numbers down.When we sleep，for example，the saliva stream slows，and sulfur (硫) producing bacteria gains the upper hand，producing classic “morning breath〞．
Alcohol drinking，too much talking，breathing through the mouth during exercise，anything that dries the mouth produces bad breath.So can stress，though it’s not understood why.Some people’s breath turns sour ever y time they go on a job interview.
Saliva flow gradually slows with age，which explains why the elderly have more bad breath trouble than younger people do.Babies.however，who make plenty of saliva and whose mouths contain relatively few bacteria have characteristically sweet breath.
For most of us，the simple，dry mouth variety of bad breath is easily cured.Eating or drinking starts saliva and sweeps away many of the bacteria.Breakfast often stops morning breath.
Those with constant dry mouth find that it helps to keep gum，hard candy，or a bottle of water or juice around.Brushing the teeth wipes out dry mouth bad breath because it clears away many of the offending bacteria.
Surprisingly，one thing that rarely works is mouthwash.The liquid can mask bad breath smell with its own smell，but the effect lasts no more than an hour.Some mouthwashes claim to kill the bacteria responsible for bad breath.The trouble is，they don’t necessarily reach all offending germs.Most bacteria are well protected from mouthwash under thick layers of mucus (粘液)．If the mouthwash contains alcohol—as most do—it can worsen the problem by drying our mouth.
12．Which of the following is right?
A．Saliva flow gradually increases with age.
B．Alcohol drinking does good to bad breath.
C．Mouthwash is not an effective way to bad breath.
D．Mouth bacteria can’t grow fast in airless conditions.
13．Which of the following is mentioned as one of the causes of bad breath?
A．Tooth trouble.
B．Sulfur rich food.
C．Too much exercise.
D．Mental pressure.
14．According to the passage，alcohol has something to do with bad breath mainly because________.
A．it keeps offending bacteria from reproducing
B．its smell adds to bad breath
C．it kills some helpful bacteria
D．it affects the normal flow of saliva
15．Mouthwashes are not an effective cure for bad breath mainly because________.
A．they can’t mask the bad odor long enough
B．they can’t get to all the offending bacteria
C．their strong smell mixes with bad breath and makes it worse
D．they can’t cover the thick layers of mucus

Now bike-sharing is becoming increasing popular. It is green means of transportation and provides a user-friendly experience. Besides, problems also arise. The bicycles are left almost in everywhere on the street. Also, many people ride the bicycles on the driveway, cause many traffic accidents. My suggestions on how to improve the situation were as follows.
First of all, the city government should design certain areas for parking the bicycle. In this way, fewer people will leave the bicycles like they please. Secondly, more roads for bicycles needs to be built to make sure t hat cyclists aren’t caught in a traffic jam.
I hope this bike-sharing project will help build better traffic or improve the air quality.
【解析】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了最近比拟流行的共享单车的情况。

共享单车在带来环保的同时，也出现了一些不好的问题，比如，交通混乱，作者针对这一问题提出了一些建议。

通过此文，我们对共享单车多了一份理解，也告诫我们大家要正确使用共享单车。

1.现在共享单车变得越来越流行，副词修饰形容词，所以修饰popular的应该是副词。

故将increasing 改为increasingly。

2.“It is green means of transportation and provides a user-friendly experience. Besides, problems also arise〞由前半句可知在说共享单车的好处，下一句转折到出现了一些问题，中间的词应该表示转折关系。

故将Besides改为However。

3.许多人将自行车骑到了驾驶车道，造成了许多交通事故，从句中可以看出后面一句作补语，故用现在分词的形式。

故将cause改为causing。

7.此句主语为roads道路，用的是复数，所以need不需要用第三人称单数的形式。

故将needs改为need。

8.我希望这个自行车共享项目将有助于改善交通状况，改善空气质量。

由句意可知宾语局部表达意思相近，应该用一个表示并列关系的连接词。

故将or改为and。

【名师点睛】
短文改错主要考查考生对文章的理解以与句子结构的分析，考生可以先通读短文，整体把握短文大意再细读全文，逐句分析，把握结构，逐一作答。

然后逐行修改最后复读全文，验证答案。

主要考查名词单复数、动词时态语态、代词的使用、冠词的使用以与单词之间一样意思不同用法的区别。

当出现大致一样意思的单词时，在句中要仔细分析句型，看这个单词用到这儿是否适宜，如果使句子结构发生错乱或者不完整，就要找与它意思一样用法不同的单词来代替。

例如，第6小题，“In this way, fewer people will leave the bicycles like they please〞用这种方法，就很少有人愿意向他们那样离开自行车了，like作介词时，其意是“像，如同〞，其后需接名词、动名词或代词等，如果该名词或代词后还要用动词才能表达某一完整的意思，那就用as，此处的as作连词。

“please〞在此为动词，表示“使满意〞，所以需要在动词前面需要使用连词as。

故将like改为as。
