2019-2020年高考英语阅读理解、完形填空课外练（12）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A.B.C和D项中，选出最佳选项 Experts believe that storms and severe weather in North America and Asia have disrupted bird flight paths across the world and swept huge numbers of bird species towards the British Isles.Birds flying to the other side of the Atlantic or to the Pacific to lay their eggs have been trapped in Britain and Ireland, adding their numbers to native species, and causing great excitement in the bird-watching munity.Local birdwatchers have already observed a total of 442 species in the British Isles this year. The highest number ever seen in one year is 445, in xx.“We only need four more to break our record,” said Lee Evans, who runs the British Birding Association. “With three months to go I’m sure we’ll do it.”Last month an extremely rare Siberian Rubythroat bird was seen in Scotland, sending hundreds of birdwatchers north in the hope of catching a glimpse of this colourful Asian beauty. Another very unmon bird, the bufflehead duck was cited in Cornwell and caused similar excitement. “I couldn’t believe it,” said Evans. “The poor thing was pletely knackered. It must have been blown to England by the storms while trying to fly from Canada to the southern United States for the winter. That’s 3000 miles!”Evans said that global warming over the past decade was playing a key role in transforming bird movements across the world. In addition, melting Arctic sea ice may also be opening up bird flight paths over the North Pole, making it easier for birds from the Pacific — such as the slaty-backed gull and tufted puffin, both of which appeared in London earlier this year — to reach Britain.Bird-watching is being an increasingly popular hobby among all age groups, added Evans. “A fifth of our members are under 18. This is a round-the-year hobby that you can enjoy from the kitchen window or from a car. More and more people are bird-watching, and as a result more and more unexpected species are being spotted in the British Isles.”1. What is the passage mainly about?A. The results of global warming.B. Changes in the British bird population.C. Increasing environmental pollution.D. Worsening British weather. 2. The underlined word “knackered” is closest in meaning to __________. A. bored B. knocked C. spotted D. tired3. How many more bird species are needed to equal the British bird-watching record?A. 3. B. 4. C. 442. D. 445.4. According to the passage, which of the following birds es from Asia? A. Slaty-backed gull. B. Bufflehead. C. Rubythroat. D. Tufted puffin.5. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a possible reason for seeing more bird species in Britain?A. An increase in the number of birdwatchers.B. A growth in the number of native species.C.

阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项When he thought of the past，my grandfather would sometimes show us photographs of himself at school.They were brown and faded，and it was hard to believe that the blurred figure of the little boy in the short trousers and socks could ever have been Grandfather.Besides，he wore a cap—and the boys in the photographs wore caps pulled so far forward that half of their faces were obscured.When Grandfather asked us to pick him out from the group，we would surely point to the wrong boy.On one such occasion my younger sister，aged six，burst into tears when Grandfather proudly guided her finger to the right boy.“How could that boy be you？”she cried.“He should have a heard.”We were，of course，all convinced that grandfathers should have beards，preferably white and bushy，like our own grandfather's. “I was a good scholar，”Grandfather would say，wagging his beard over the photographs.“I should have been top of the class if I hadn't had to get up at six every morning to milk the cows and chop the wood，and again when I came home from school.”“But Saturdays? What did you do on Saturdays？”“Saturdays，if it was fine，I'd be out all day in the fields with the men，”replied Grandfather. “And if it was wet，I'd be helping my mother with odd jobs round the house.There wasn't much time for studying.”We all tried hard to imagine what it would have been like to have been Grandfather getting up at crack of dawn and never，obviously，having a moment for himself.It seemed we had learnt something from what Grandfather had said about his childhood.1．In the first paragraph of this passage，what the author really tells us is that________.A. his grandfather used to wear short trousers，socks and a cap as wellB．it was difficult to tell which of the boys in the photographs was GrandfatherC．he didn't believe Grandfather wore a cap pulled forward when he was at schoolD．it was fun to watch boys in the photographs wearing caps pulled forward答案：B　细节判断题，可用直接就题找题法来解。
