2020年贵州省毕节市高考英语模拟试卷（三）

第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分30分）第一节（共4小题；每小题6分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑．

• 1．Animals in Odd Places Tree Goats
     These goats will do a lot for their favorite snacks-including climbing to the top of a 9-m-tall tree!Every summer the argan trees in southwest Morocco produce bitter-tasting fruit that the local goats can't resist．And these peckish goats are doing us humans a favour-when they spit （for sometimes poo!） out the indigestible nut inside the argan fruit，the nuts can be collected to make an oil that's used in hair products and food!
     City Whales
     They're not visiting the Empire State Building-they're on the lookout for food!Humpback whales are swimming back in the waters off the coast of New York City in the USA．Why？Years of cleanup efforts in the Hudson River-a tidal estuary where fresh and salt water meet-have brought back algae，zooplankton and fish．And the humpbacks，which are the ultimate foodie tourists，weren't far behind!So far this year there have been an incredible 377 sightings．
     Forest Penguins
     Fiordland crested penguins prefer the warm waters and misty rainforest of southwest New Zealand to the icy Antarctic!With smaller bodies than many cold-weather penguins （such as emperors），the flightless birds live in balmy 21℃．And their eggs stay toasty in this warmer habitat，too，tucked away in caves，bushes and tree stumps where males sit on the nests．
     Ocean Sloths
     Pygmy three-toed sloths might be slow climbers，but when they get into the water，they're powerful paddlers!These special sloths，which only live in the mangroves of a tiny island off the coast of Panama in Central America，plop into the sea when they want to move to a new tree．Their tummies are often filled with gas due to their leafy diet，so they stay afloat easily-and they can move three times faster in the water than they can on the ground．But since we're talking about sloths，that's really saying much!
  
  （1）What's the function of Tree Goats' poo？

  
  A．It can improve human's skin．
  B．It can be used as an oil．
  C．It can be beneficial to our hair and food．
  D．It can be used as shampoo．
  （2）What's the purpose of Humpback whales' returning？

  
  A．To visit the Empire State Building．
  B．To look for food．
  C．To clean up the Hudson River．
  D．To search for fresh and salt water．
  （3）Which animals can move much faster in the water than on land？

  
  A．Tree Goats
  B．City Whales
  C．Forest Penguins
  D．Ocean Sloths

• 3．A couple John and Mary had a nice family and two lovely children．John had just been asked to go on a business trip to another city and would be gone for several days．It was decided that Mary needed an outing and would go along too．They hired a reliable woman to care for the children and made the trip，returning home a little earlier than they had planned．
     As they drove into their home town happily，they noticed smoke，and they went off their usual route to see what it was．They found a home in flames．Mary said， "Oh well it isn't our fire，let's go home．" But John drove closer and exclaimed， "That home belongs to Fred Jones who works at the plant．He wouldn't be off work yet，maybe there is something we could do．" "It has nothing to do with us．" protested Mary． "You have your good clothes on，let's not get any closer．" But John drove up and stopped and they were both horror stricken to see the whole house in flames．A woman on the lawn was in hysterics screaming， "The children!Get the children!" sobbed the woman， "down the hall and to the left，they are in the basement．"
     In spite of Mary's protests John grabbed the water hose and soaked his clothes，put his wet handkerchief on his head and bolted for the basement full of smoke and scorching hot．He found the door and grabbed two children，holding one under each arm．As he left，he could hear some more whimpering．He delivered the two badly frightened and nearly suffocated children into waiting arms and filled his lungs with fresh air and started back asking how many more children were down there．They told him two more and Mary grabbed his arm and screamed， "John!Don't go back!It's suicide!That house will cave in any second!"
     But he shook her off and went back．It seemed an eternity before he found the two children．As he stumbled up the endless steps，the thought went through his mind that there was something strangely familiar about the little bodies clinging to him，and at last when they came out into the sunlight and fresh air，he found that he had just rescued his own children．
