高三英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

Many animals move from one place to another at certain times of the year. This annual movement is called migration. They migrate to find food, seek a partner, or in search of warmer weather. One of the most wonderful migrations in nature is that of the North American monarch butterfly.

Every autumn, millions of these beautiful insects with fine black and orange wings begin a long and difficult journey. Somehow they manage to travel around 4, 000 kilometers south and find their way to California or Mexico. However, until recently no one knew how they did this.

A team of scientists led by Professor Eli Shlizerman at the University of Washington has now found the answer. They have found out that the monarch is able to tell the time of day. It uses its eyes to measure the position of the sun. These two pieces of information—the time of day and the point where the sun is in the sky—allow the butterfly to determine the way to go. Eventually, it manages to reach the places where it will spend the winter.

The solution to the mystery of the monarch’s amazing ability comes at a time when it is in serious trouble. Its population has crashed by as much as 90 per cent in the last few years. Sadly, human activity is the main reason why the number of monarch butterflies is falling. In many of the places where the butterfly can be found, people are destroying the natural environment. They cut down trees and use chemicals that kill the plants that monarch caterpillars eat.

The research on the monarch’s behavior has however led to a greater awareness of this creature. People have been working together to record its migration and make sure that there are enough plants for it to feed on. If this works, there may come a time when the number of monarch butterflies increases once again. The more we know about this lovely creature, the greater the chance it will survive and keep its place in the natural world for a long time to come.

1.Which is not the purpose of animals’ migration according to the text?

A.To search for food. B.To look for a partner.

C.To breed young babies. D.To stay away from cold weather.

2.What mainly caused the decrease in the number of the monarch butterflies?

A.Weather changes. B.Human activities.

C.Trees being cut down. D.The long migration every year.

3.What can we know from the text?

A.All the animals migrate at fixed times of the year.

B.The monarch has the ability to identify the time of day.

C.The population of the monarch is decreasing rapidly every year.

D.No one knows how the monarch butterflies make their way to their destinations.

4.What does the last paragraph imply about the research?

A.It is quite encouraging. B.it is fairly complex.

C.It is very unacceptable. D.It is rather useless.

Parkour is a sport with the aim of moving from one point to another as smoothly, efficiently and quickly as possible using chiefly the abilities of the human body. It’s more similar to martial arts (武术) than to a sport. Parkour focuses on how any obstacle is dealt with, whether the obstacle is either physical or mental.

Inspiration for parkour came from the “Natural Method of Physical Culture” developed by Georges Hebert in the early twentieth century. French soldiers in Vietnam were inspired by Heber’s work and created what is now known as parcours du combatant (障碍训练课程). David Belle, who was introduced to this method by his father Raymond Belle, a Vietnamese soldier who had practiced it, had taken part in activities such as martial arts and gymnastics, and sought to apply his athletic skill in a manner that would have practical use in life.

After moving to Lisses, David Belle continued his journey with others. “From then on we developed,” says Sebastien Foucan, who helped to spread parkour, “and really the whole town was there for us; there for parkour.”

Over the years as devoted practitioners (实践者) improved their skills, their moves continued to grow in scale, so that building-to-building jumps and drops of over a storey(楼层) became common in media description, causing much misunderstanding on the nature of parkour.”

Although many practitioners say parkour isn’t an extreme sport, it does carry risk with it. The practice of running, jumping, and leaping from a variety of urban structures (roof tops, staircases, raised surfaces, walls, etc.) and landing on concrete, of course, carries the potential for injury. Some of the most common injuries include sprained (扭伤的) ankles and injuries to the knees.

According to one practitioner, “One of the biggest differences between parkour and other so-called ‘extreme’ sports is that it is not concerned only with physical skills, but also with one’s mental and spiritual pleasure.”

1.      The second paragraph is mainly about _______.

A. Belle’s devotion to parkour                             B. the origin of parkour

C. the use of parkour during wartime                   D. the practical use of parkour in life

2.      What do we know about David Belle?

A. He used to be a French soldier in Vietnam.

B. His attitude toward Hebert’s work was negative.

C. He and Foucan held different views on parkour.

D. He attempted to make full use of his athletic skill in life.

3.      What do we infer from the passage?

A. The practitioners think parkour is worth the risk.

B. Parkour needs specially designed training places.

C. The practitioners are often blamed by the media.

D. Parkour was developed in the early twentieth century.

4.      Parkour requires _______.

A. only the abilities of human body

B. move from one point to another

C. the ability to deal with mental problems

D. the ability to remove obstacles physically and mentally

5.      According to the passage, which of the following is parkour?

A.               B.

C.          D.

When Regina Spektor moved to the Bronx from Russia as a young child of 9, she could speak no English and her family was so poor that they could afford nothing. Yet she carried with her a love of the piano and music.

"For me, the thing that I loved the most was playing the piano, so when we left Russia I was so afraid I would forget how to play and I would just find a little table and play my pieces," she told "When you spend your life doing something like playing the piano and then you take that away, it's so surreal."(离奇的)

Her father, Ilya Spektor, said that, little by little, the family saved enough money to afford their first apartment.

"I was a photographer and, in six weeks, I found my first job in a big photo lab in Manhattan," he said. On the subway one day, Ilya Spektor spotted a man carrying a violin case. The man also seemed to have an Eastern European accent. A conversation led to a visit and, eventually, Regina Spektor was introduced to Sonia Vargas, a piano teacher. She was a well-known professor who taught piano, took Spektor under her wing and trained her for years, at no cost. "I remember talking to Sonia," Spektor said. "She said that when a student is ready, a teacher appears. So she said that I must have been ready to study piano, and so that's why she came into my life."

"Immediately, how she played," Vargas said. "You can tell the sound. The sound tell you whether the person loves the instrument, loves the music."

Much later, while playing her own music and selling a CD that she'd created, Regina Spektor caught the attention of a music producer. The rest is history, complete with concerts around the world and performance in front of the Obamas at the White House.

Regina Spektor greatly appreciated her parents, piano teachers and friends for helping her become the musician she is. “I love the idea that if you’re walking toward the world, the world will take some steps towards you,” she said.

1.When Regina Spektor was in Russia, she _________.

A. spoke English very fluently　　 B. could afford a new piano

C. learned how to play the piano　　 D. was directed by a famous teacher

2.Why could Ilya Spektor make the acquaintance of Sonia Vargas?

A. Sonia Vargas was very famous.　　 B. They were all Russians.

C. They had a common friend.　　 D. Ilya Spektor was a good talker.

3.What does the author mainly want to tell us?

A. The world welcomes any musician.

B. Life is filled with struggles more than love.

C. Regina Spektor deserves to perform at the White House.

D. The world doesn’t ignore those who fight for their dreams.
