第二部分閱讀理解(共兩節,滿分40分)

第一節(共15小題;每小題2分,滿分30分)

閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項。

A

Crazy Festivals

Mike the Headless Chicken Festival

In 1945,farmer Lloyd Olsen attempted to cut off the head of Mike,a chicken,so his wife could cook it up for dinner.However,the bird didn’t die and lived another year and a half,making regular trips to the fair,where people paid a quarter to see the amazing headless bird.

Today,the spirit of Mike the Headless Chicken is celebrated with a two-day May festival in Fruita,Colorado,which includes live music,a golf tournament,and lots of delicious chicken.

Roswell UFO Festival

In the summer of 1947,a flying saucer crashed on a large farm outside the town of Roswell,New Mexico.The government says it didn’t come from outer space,but many top UFO researchers believe it did.

Knowing a good thing when it crashes in their backyard,the citizens of Roswell celebrate the event every July with a three-day festival that features a costume contest,a parade(游行) and other activities.Be careful,though—that odd little person next to you could be from another planet.

World’s Largest Rattlesnake Roundup

The rattlesnake,a poisonous American snake,serves an important function in nature by keeping small pests under control,but when their numbers grow too large,they can cause serious problems for farmers.That’s why every March the residents of Sweetwater,Texas,host a three-day festival in association with the town’s annual rattlesnake hunt.

Visitors can learn about rattlesnakes,take a bus tour of their natural habitat,participate in a rattlesnake eating contest and so on.

BugFest

Every September,the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences in Raleigh sponsors a daylong festival that focuses on something most people try to avoid:insects.

Visitors can hold bugs that are not native,cheer on racing insects and learn about beekeeping.But the highlight for many is Café Insecta,where bugs are the main ingredient(原料) in a variety of tasty dishes.

【語篇導讀】本文是應用文。文章介紹了四個古怪的節日。

21.Lloyd Olsen cut off the chicken’s head because .

A.his family wanted to eat it

B.he wanted to sell its meat at the fair

B.add an air of mystery to the festival

解析:句意理解題。根據文章對第二個節日的介紹可知,作者以客觀的口吻介紹了這個外星人節日的來源及節日內容等,并未對外星人是否存在表明自己的觀點。由此可推測,作者最后說“你旁邊那個奇怪的矮人可能來自另一個星球”只是為了給這個節日增加些神秘氣息。

23.What’s the purpose of the World’s Largest Rattlesnake Roundup?

A.To increase the local tourism.

B.To protect rattlesnakes’ habitats.

C.To control the population of rattlesnakes.

解析:細節理解題。根據四個節日的舉辦時間:五月、七月、三月和九月可知,世界上最大的響尾蛇圍捕節是這四個節日中每年舉辦時間最早的。

B

Have you ever seen a talking parrot on TV or in someone’s home?Parrots have learned to copy the sounds that people make.But birds are not the only animals that can copy the sounds they hear.Dolphins,bats,and some apes can also copy sounds.Now researches have found that elephants can also copy the sounds around them.

Dr.Thane is a zoologist.She has many researches in the sounds of elephants.When she was in Ohio,she often heard some strange noises made by Malika after sunset.Malika was a 10-year-old African elephant.

Malika lived near a highway.Dr.Thane says,“I could not tell the difference between Malika’s call and the distant trucks’ noise.” She and other scientists studied Malika’s sounds.It turned out that Malika was copying the sounds of the trucks going by.Why would Malika copy trucks which she heard going by on the highway?After copying the new sounds,animals may enjoy practicing them.When they are kept outside of their natural environment,they may copy unusual sounds.That may be why an elephant can copy the sound of trucks.

“Malika was not the only elephant that can copy other sounds,” Dr.Thane says.Camero is a 24-year-old male African elephant.He spent 15 years with two female Asian elephants.Asian elephants can make chirping sounds (sounds made by birds) to talk with one another.African elephants usually do not make chirping sounds.But Camero now does.He is copying his Asian elephant friends.Dr.Thane says that elephants need to form bonds with their family and friends.She says,“They make sounds to communicate with each other.When they are separated,they use sounds to keep in contact.”

The finding that the parrot,dolphins,humans,and elephants can learn to copy other sounds shows that copying is one way that animals and people make new friends and keep old ones.

【語篇導讀】這是一篇說明文。鸚鵡可以學舌,其他動物也可以嗎?研究發現海豚、蝙蝠、一些猿,還有大象等許多動物都可以做到。

25.According to the passage,what did Malika copy?

A.The sound of trucks. B.The sound of people.

C.The sound of Camero. D.The sound of birds.

答案:A

解析:細節理解題。根據第三段內容可知,Malika所模仿的是卡車的聲音。

26.Why is Camero mentioned in the passage?

A.To introduce a special skill of Asian elephants.

B.To show the cleverness of African elephants.
