高二英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

Tigers are the largest wild cats in the world. They usually go out to hunt for food when it is dark. When a tiger sees an animal, it moves quickly and then jumps on the animals to kill it.　　 Sometimes it can take the tiger several days to finish eating its food. When the tiger is full, it will cover the dead animal with leaves. Later, when the tiger is hungry again, it comes back to eat some more.

Tigers are different from others in the cat family: they like water and often jump into rivers to swim. Some tigers live in very cold places in North Korea, Russia and China. Other tigers live in warmer places—in India and parts of Southeast Asia.

But now all tigers are in danger. Some people kill tigers to use their skins for clothes, and their bodies for medicine. There is also less and less land for tigers to live in.

Societies all over the world name places in similar ways. Quite often there is no official naming ceremony but places tend to be called names as points of reference by people. Then an organized body steps in and gives the place a name. Frequently it happens that a place has two names: One is named by the people and the other by the government. As in many areas, old habits died hard, and the place continues to be called by its unofficial name long after the meaning is lost.

Many roads and places in Singapore are named in order that the pioneers will be remembered by future generations. Thus we have names such as Stamford Road and Raffles Place. This is in keeping with traditions in many countries —in both the West and the East.

Another way of naming places is naming them after other places. Perhaps they were named to promote friendships between the two places or it could be that the people who used to live there were originally from the places that the roads were named after. The mystery is clearer when we see some of the roads named in former British bases. If you step into Selector Airbase you will see Piccadilly Circus —obviously named by some homesick Royal Air Force personnel.

Some places were named after the activities that used to go on at those places. Bras Basah Road is an interesting example, “Base Basah” means “wet rice” in Malay（马来语）. Now why would anyone want to name a road “Wet Rice Road”? The reason is simple. During the pioneering days, wet rice was laid out to dry along this road.

A few roads in Singapore are named by their shapes. There is “Circular Road” for one. Other roads may have part of their names to describe their shapes, like “Paya Lebar Crescent”. This road is called a crescent（月牙） because it begins on the main road, makes a crescent and comes back to join the main road again.

1.What does the underlined phrase “die hard” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

2.Which of the following places is named after a person?

3.What can be inferred from the passage?

In most people's opinion, the tiger is not an animal that we would ordinarily think of as being chicken. However, one tiger, which lives in an English zoo, turned out to be more cowardly（胆小的）than his keepers could ever have imagined.

Tanvir, a two-year-old Bengal tiger, got stuck at the top of a new 5m-high activity tower in the zoo, after climbing it for the first time.

The wooden tower had been designed to provide mental exercise for Tanvir by testing his ability of dealing with troublesome situations, but after climbing it in just a few seconds, he lost his courage when it came to coming back down. Tanvir went on to spend nearly two days at the top of the tower trying to collect the courage to attempt to get down.

A spokesperson for the zoo said that several days before Tanvir had taken half an hour to get down a lower tower only 1.5m high, and the taller tower had clearly been too much challenging for him.

"Every time he got to the edge, he looked out, put a paw over, and thought, ‘no, I cannot make it!" ’laughed Samantha Cordrey, Tanvir's keeper. In the end Tanvir's hunger defeated his fear, and after almost 48 hours he made his way down. Burying himself in a big meal just like a hungry pig, Tanvir seemed to forget such a shameful experience for a while.

It appears that his experience would not be the worst in Tanvir's life if he continued to act like a chicken. It is not known whether he will take courage to go back up his exercise tower again.

The whole episode（插曲）only serves to show the difficulties faced by zoo staff in creating environments that will improve animals' living ability in enclosed space.

1.When speaking of Tanvir's shameful experience, Samantha Cordrey might feel it was　　　　 .

A. funny　　 B. surprising　　 C. exciting　　 D. unbelievable

2.What made Tanvir get down the 5m-high activity tower at last?

A. The coldness of the weather.　　 B. The direction from his keepers.

C. The sufferings of being hungry.　　 D. The fear of being alone.

3.Why does the author say "this experience would not be the worst in Tanvir's life if..."(Paragraph 6)?

A. Because Tanvir's keepers will design more difficult exercise for him.

B. Because Tanvir is so cowardly that he has little courage to meet greater challenges.

C. Because Tanvir's bad health will bring him much trouble in practice.

D. Because Tanvir is always careless and often causes trouble by accident.

4.The zoo designed the 5m-high activity tower to　　　　 .

A. make Tanvir become brave　　 B. improve Tanvir's performance skills

C. let tourists watch Tanvir better　　 D. improve Tanvir's living ability
