Unit 2 Iconic Attractions Learning about Language一、单词拼写1The islands are rightfully proud of their location on the _ (赤道)2We are going to have a _(户外烧烤) this Friday.3A _(肉贩)，for instance，is not content merely to sell you meat.4A smell of bread drifted from a distant _(面包厂)5The whole _(药草) has a characteristic taste and smell.二、阅读理解Climate change，not human hunting，may have destroyed the thylacine (袋狼)，according to a new study based on DNA from thylacine bones.The meat­eating marsupials (有袋动物)died out on mainland Australia a few thousand years ago，but survived in Tasmania，an island of southeast Australia separated from the mainland，until the 1930s.Until now，scientists have believed the cause of this mainland extinction (灭绝) was increased activities from native Australians and dingoes (Australian wild dogs)Scientists behind the University of Adelaide study，which was published in the Journal of Biogeography on Thursday，collected 51 new thylacine DNA samples from fossil (化石) bones and museum skins.The paper concluded that climate change starting about 4，000 years ago was likely the main cause of the mainland extinction.The ancient DNA showed that the mainland extinction of thylacines was rapid，and not the result of loss of genetic diversity (基因多样性)There was also evidence of a population crash (大跌) in thylacines in Tasmania at the same period of time，reducing their numbers and genetic diversity.Professor Jeremy Austin said Tasmania would have been protected from mainland Australia's warmer，drier climate due to its higher rainfall.He argued that climate change was “the only thing that could have caused，or at least started，an extinction on the mainland and caused a population crash in Tasmania.”“They both occurred at about the same time，and the other two things that have been talked about in the past that may have driven thylacines to extinction on the mainland were dingoes and humans.So the only explanation that's left is climate change.And because that population crash happened at the same time the species (物种) went extinct on the mainland，our argument is there's a common theme there and the only common theme is that there is this change in climate.”1What did scientists believe in the past according to the passage?AMarsupials were all meat­eating animals.BDingoes should be removed from Australia.CThylacines had no enemies on mainland Australia.DHuman activities may cause the extinction of thylacines.2What's the difference between mainland Australia and Tasmania?ATasmania has more dingoes.BTasmania has more rainy days.CTasmania has a higher temperature.DTasmania has more native activities.3The reason why Jeremy Austin had strong argument is that Asomething similar occurred on mainland Australia and TasmaniaBTasmania was protected from mainland Australia's warmer climateChumans and dingoes may have driven thylacines to extinctionDmainland Australia suffered from much higher rainfall in the past4What's the best title for the passage?AThe Cause of Disappearance of ThylacinesBThe Ways of Protecting Meat­eating AnimalsCThe Result of Warmer Climate in AustraliaDThe Effect of Climate Change on Wildlife三、语法填空One of the most recognizable 1.

That night when she got home from work，she was thinking about the money and what the lady had written. 一、单词拼写1.equator2.barbecue3.butcher4.bakery5.herb二、阅读理解1.D细节理解题。根据第二段中“Until now，scientists have believed .and dingoes (Australian wild dogs)”可知，科学家过去认为人类活动可能会导致袋狼的灭绝。故选D。2.B细节理解题。根据第五段“Professor Jeremy Austin said Tasmania would have been protected from mainland Australia's warmer，drier climate due to its higher rainfall.”可知，塔斯马尼亚有更多的雨天。故选B。3.A推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“He argued that climate change .a population crash in Tasmania.” 可知，杰里米·奥斯丁(Jeremy Austin)之所以有强有力的论据，是因为澳大利亚大陆和塔斯马尼亚岛也发生了类似的事情。故选A。4.A标题归纳题。根据第一段“Climate change，not human hunting.on DNA from thylacine bones”和第二段中“Until now，scientists have believed the cause of this mainland extinction was increased activities from native Australians and dingoes (Australian wild dogs)”可知，这篇文章讲述的是袋狼灭绝的原因。故选A。三、语法填空1buildings考查名词复数。此处recognizable“易于识别的”是形容词，修饰名词，再根据one of名词复数，所以该空填buildings。2has考查时态和主谓一致。这里在说一个客观事实，所以句子用一般现在时，且句子主语是“One of the most recognizable buildings in the world”，单数第三人称，故填has。3finally考查副词。此处agreed是动词，由副词修饰，故填finally。4an考查不定冠词。此处表示“一场国际比赛”，用不定冠词，且international是以元音音素开头的词，故填an。5who/that考查定语从句。此处designers是先行词，指人，分析句子，把designers放在后面的定语从句中，作主语，故填who/that。6named考查过去分词作后置定语。句中architect和name之间是被动关系，用过去分词作后置定语，故填named。7to show考查动词不定式作目的状语。此处动词不定式作目的状语，故填to show。8and考查并列连词。此处是连接并列谓语，故填and。9drawing考查状语从句的省略。本句为状语从句的省略，还原后为：while Utzon was drawing ，因主句主语和从句主语相同，且从句有be动词，所以主语和be动词被省略。故填drawing。10as考查介词。固定搭配：use.as.“把当作”。此处是“把它们当作灵感”，故填as。四、读后续写After the lady finished her meal, she paid with a $100 bill.The waitress quickly went to get change for her $100 bill，but the old lady had driven off.She was gone by the time the waitress came back.The waitress wondered where the lady could be.Then she noticed something written on a napkin.There were tears in her eyes when she read what the lady wrote：you don't owe me anything.I have been there too.Somebody once helped me out the way I'm helping you.If you really want to pay me back，here is what you do：do not let this chain of love end with you.Under the napkin were four more $100 bills.That night when she got home from work，she was thinking about the money and what the lady had written.She was wondering how the lady knew how much she and her husband were in need.With the baby to be born next month，it was going to be hard.She knew how worried her husband Bryan Anderson was，but now everything is going to be all right.第11页（共11页）
