In the flood （洪水） season in June this year, Hou Fang decided to keep a gong （锣） by her bedside every day. When necessary, she takes it immediately and runs out to beat the gong so everyone can hear it.

“Around 60 places in Yongchuan are in danger of geological （地质的） disasters,” says Liu Daijian, a famous expert. “Each place has a worker like Hou, as well as other geological workers. They work as disaster watchmen on the frontlines to make sure of the safety of villagers.”

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。

There are around 1,800 pandas living in the wild now. An internationally accepted list took pandas out of the “endangered （濒危的） ” list in 2016. 1

Panda numbers fell during the 20th century because of home loss and wrong hunting （狩猎） . By the 1980s, only around 1,200 lived and they were close to extinction （灭绝） .

2 A helpful protection work paid attention to the panda’s main food source （来源） . In mountain villages, people are not allowed to cut down bamboo. And then pandas have enough bamboo to eat. Bamboo is a tall, fast-growing grass. 3 Bamboo doesn’t have much nutrition （营养） . Therefore, pandas have to eat up to 38 kilograms each day to get enough energy they need. As a result, pandas spend up to 16 hours a day eating. In order to keep healthy, pandas need at least two kinds of bamboo. 4

Panda’s bright future comes from the helpful work that Chinese panda experts and workers have done. They plant bamboo on the mountains where bamboo was cut down for farming. Another part of the conservation （保护） project has been a carefully managed plan. 5 And they protect weak babies so they can live better in the wild.

A. It makes up 99% of a panda’s food.

B. They encourage pandas to have babies.

C. There are many pandas living outside China.

D. Since then, the number of giant pandas has increased.

E. Also, panda keepers add different materials to their food.

F. Chinese experts said that the decision was made too soon.

难句剖析

完形填空

When the reading was over, Ken stood in line, waiting for Anthony to sign books.

译文 读书会结束后，肯站在队伍里，等着安东尼给书签名。

分析 本句是主从复合句。Ken stood in line是主句；waiting for Anthony...是现在分词短语作伴随状语；when引导时间状语从句。

阅读A

For students going to Kindergarten to Grade 7, we give Chinese Language Arts at Forest Grove Elementary.

译文 对于从幼儿园到七年级的学生，我们在森林小学开设中文课。

分析 本句是简单句。句子主干是we give Chinese Language Arts；句子开头for引导的短语表示对象。

阅读B

He soon found it was too simple for his students and brought in more difficult games so kids could learn more about nature.

译文 他很快发现这对他的学生来说太简单了，于是他引进了更难的游戏，以便学生们在游戏中能更多地了解自然。

分析 本句总体上的结构是He soon found... and brought in more difficult games...。其中found和brought in是并列的谓语动词（短语）。it was too simple for his students是宾语从句，充当谓语动词found的宾语。so kids could learn more about nature是so that (that可以省略)引导的目的状语从句。

阅读C

The museum director joked that the penguins liked the art of Italian artists.

译文 博物馆馆长开玩笑说，企鹅喜欢意大利艺术家的作品。

分析 本句是主从复合句。that引导宾语从句作joked的宾语。

阅读D

Every time I come here, I check the position of the stones to see if there are any changes.

译文 每次来这里，我都会检查石头的位置，看是否有任何变化。

分析 本句是主从复合句。句首Every time I come here是时间状语从句；主句主干为I check the position of the stones；该主句中的目的状语to see if there are any changes是不定式短语，不定式短语中包含一个if引导的宾语从句，即if there are any changes，充当不定式动词原形see的宾语。if在该宾语从句中表示“是否”之意。

They plant bamboo on the mountains where bamboo was cut down for farming.

译文 他们在山上种植竹子，在那里，为了耕种，竹子被砍伐了。

分析 本句是主从复合句。They plant bamboo on the mountains是主句，其中mountains为后面where引导的定语从句的先行词；定语从句中was cut down是被动语态。 j/3wjJuZ7lkCoP8dI5eA1pXoNS1mBrl50HPIeqylDm7YnrVsL07sN1+jIMVgq13L
