高三英语最后冲刺试题有答案(2)
D
JOHANNESBURG—They say cats have nine lives. Now a Chinese toad(蟾蜍) has joined that club of clever survivors.
South Africans are shocked at the endurance of a toad that got trapped in a cargo shipment from China to Cape Town, after jumping into a porcelain candlestick(烛台) that was made there. South African officials reportedly planned to put down the creature, fearing it would cause harm as an invasive species if it were let go in the wild.
But the toad got a last-minute pardon. Mango Airlines, a South African airline, transported the toad on Friday to Johannesburg for delivery to an animal shelter, after officials decided to find a way to let the toad live. The two-hour flight was a breeze compared to the trip from China, a long way of many weeks and thousands of kilometers across the Indian Ocean.
Airline spokesman Hein Kaiser said the toad got “first-class treatment”, sitting in a transparent plastic container with escort Brett Glasby, an animal welfare inspector. There was even a ceremony, in which the toad’s boarding pass was handed to Glasby.
“He was the star of the show on the flight,” Kaiser said of the amphibious(两栖的) passenger. “I think every passenger stopped to have a look.”
On landing in Johannesburg, the toad was brought out of its container for a celebrity-style photo shoot. Observers said the brown toad seemed like a cool customer. It belongs to the Asian Toad species, which breeds during the monsoon(季风) season. It is believed to have survived the trip from China by hardening its skin to prevent it from drying out, and also by slowing its breathing and heart rate—methods that help the species survive in times of drought.
“We’ve had snakes in imported timber and scorpions(蝎子) in fruit. We were called because the toad was right inside the candlestick, and we had to break it to get it out” Glasby, the inspector, told The Star, a South African newspaper.
32. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Asian toads can’t get used to the life in South Africa.
B. South Africa ignores the protection of animals.
C. An Asian toad gets a new home in South Africa.
D. Workers shipped a toad to South Africa on purpose.
33. If the toad is released into the wild, _________.
A. it will make the locals feel shocked
B. it will lose its life in the wild
C. it might flee into another country
D. it might harm the native species
34. The toad was able to arrive in South Africa alive_________.
A. because it formed hard skin to protect itself
B. because it escaped all attacks and hunts
C. because it used to stop its breath in winter
D. because it was lucky to be given a chance
35. It can be inferred from the passage that_________.
A. a candlestick is the best place for a toad
B. droughts make toads live longer
C. sometimes animals are transported accidentally
D. no one has seen such a big toad in Africa

The sun was just slowly come up over the mountains today as I took my dogs for its morning walk. I smiled as I watched the clouds gradually turn to white and gold. The air was cool and I wore a big smile in my face. Even though there weren’t leaf on the trees, but I could still hear birds singing songs of spring. Even my dogs seemed to notice the different in the air. They were playing instead of just do their morning business in the grass. The particular golden sun seemed to make it a beautiful day. As I headed back, I realize something. The beauty of day didn’t come from the warmth of the sun. It came from the warmth within my own heart and soul.

参考范文
Dear Eric,
I’m Li Hua, a Senior 3 student from Xinhua Middle School. I’m writing to sign up for the individual oral English training program offered online.
Like most other Chinese Senior 3 students, I have learnt English for more than 7 years and I’ve learned basic grammar rules and vocabulary. However, without easy access to an English environment, I’m quite poor in spoken English. Besides, my pronunciation needs correcting and improving. So I’d like you to recommend an appropriate teacher for me. Besides, faced with the coming college entrance examination, I can only spare one hour a week for the course, which had better be scheduled on weekends.
Your early arrangement and reply will be greatly appreciated.
Yours sincerely, Li Hua
