(1) C 表示假设.本小题易误选D项,但是这句话讲的并不是一个事实,而是虚拟的假设,因此正确答案应为C项. (2) A 人类并没有面临这类问题.本小题也易误选D项,这主要是由两方面的原因所致:一是读题不够认真,文中的Luckily本身就表明人类现在并不面临这一问题;二是没有注意到该句叙述的是一个一般事实,因此要用一般现在时态. (3) B 名词前应被形容词修饰,而此题只有lovely为形容词,故选B. (4) A 根据上下文.应为死于“饥饿”,C项hungry为形容词,故选名词hunger. (5) D 表示“两个之中的另一个”,是one…the other结构. (6) B 很明显是指上文提到的两种竹子. (7) B 句意为:在第一百年的时候,竹子开花结果然后死亡.“第一百”应用序数词. (8) C 指伞竹和喷泉竹. (9) A 关系代词.本小题应该选A项,而不能选其他选项,因为这里需要一个关系代词作主语引导定语从句 (that grow in China). (10) B 没有这两种竹子作为食物,熊猫继续死亡.本小题的误选是由于没有正确把握上文所提供的语料信息,----竹笋需要好几个月才能长大供熊猫吃,因此熊猫的食物自然是个问题,所以答案不可能是A项或C项.再则,熊猫的不断死亡这一情况属于动作,而不属于状态,因此D项亦应予以排除. (11) A 用被动语态表示“被拯救”. (12) C 这里用study表示“研究”大熊猫;搜寻大熊猫为search for the pandas,这里不属此句型,故A应排除. (13) B 发现关于大熊猫食物的更多的情况. (14) B if在这里表示“是否”之意.相当于whether,引导宾语从句. (15) C 他们想看一下在这两种竹子正在生长的时候.大熊猫是否能够吃别的食物来代替. (16) C “已经采取措施”,用现在完成时.选C项是因为take steps表示“采取措施”,其他选项均不能与steps搭配,构成动宾关系. (17) A set aside表示“留下将来使用”之意. (18) A 先行词表示地点,where引导一个限制性定语从句修饰先行词 wildlife preserves. (19) A 句意为“提高大熊猫的数量”,故用定冠词the来修饰number. (20) B 选by raising表示“通过……”. |

In Europe, men do not usually wear skirts. But the Scottish national clothing for men is a kind of skirt. It is called a kilt. The Scottish like to be different. They are also proud of their country and its history, and they feel that the kilt is part of that history. That's why the men still wear kilts at traditional (传统的) dances and on national holidays. They believe they are wearing the same clothes that Scottish men always used to wear.
That's what they believe. However, kilts are not really so old. Before 1730, Scottish men wore a long shirt and blanket around their shoulders. These clothes got in the way when the men started to work in factories. So, in 1730 a factory owner changed the blanket into a skirt; the kilt. That's how the first kilt was made.
Then, in the late 1700s Scottish soldiers in the British Army began to wear kilts. One reason for this was national sentiment ( = feelings) . The Scottish soldiers wanted to be different from the English soldiers. The British Army probably had a different reason. A Scottish soldier in a kilt was always easy to find! The Scottish soldier fought very hard and became famous. The kilt was part of the fame, and in the early 1800s men all around Scotland began to wear kilts.
These kilts had colorful stripes (条纹) going up and down and across. In the 1700s and early 1800s, the color of the stripes had no special meaning. Men sometimes owned kilts in several different colors. But later the colors became important to the Scottish families. By about 1850, most families had special colors for their kilts. For example, men from the Campbell family had kilts with green, yellow and blue stripes. Scottish people often believe that the colors of the kilts are part of their family history. In fact, each family just chose the color they liked best.
This is not the story you will hear today if you are in Scotland. Most Scottish people still believe that kilts are as old as Scotland and that the colors are as old as the Scottish families. Sometimes feelings are stronger than facts!
