【解析】

Alex是一只與眾不同的長頸鹿，他的脖子比其他長頸鹿都要短，他很擔心。但是他的父母告訴他說他是特別的，的確如此，Alex吸引了很多游客來動物園參觀。

【1】句意：當他長大的時候，他發(fā)現(xiàn)他的脖子要比其他長頸鹿的更短。wondered 想知道；found發(fā)現(xiàn)；hoped希望；agreed同意。根據(jù)空后面的句意his neck was much shorter than the others’可知，這是Alex發(fā)現(xiàn)的事實，故應(yīng)選B。

【2】句意：他開始變得很擔心。powerful 強大的，有力量的；interested有趣的；energetic精力充沛的；worried擔心的。根據(jù)下文But his mother told him that he was special. She said it did not matter how short or long his neck was可知，Alex的媽媽說他是特別的，脖子長短并沒有什么關(guān)系，這是安慰他，所以這里說明Alex很擔心。故應(yīng)選D。

【3】句意：Alex盡力的不去想他的短脖子。leg 腿；tail尾巴；neck脖子；nose鼻子。根據(jù)上文his neck was much shorter than the others’可知，Alex的脖子比別人的更短，故應(yīng)選C。

【4】句意：但是隨著他的朋友們長得越來越高，他的脖子還是保持很短。stayed 保持，停留；became變成；turned變成；felt感覺。根據(jù)句意可知，Alex的朋友們長得越來越高，但是他的脖子仍然很短，這里表示繼續(xù)保持某種狀態(tài)，應(yīng)用stay，是一個系動詞，選A。

【5】句意：有時候其他的長頸鹿嘲笑他，但是他的父母告訴他不要擔心。looked after 照顧；fell下落，掉下；behind 在…后面；laughed at嘲笑；heard of聽說。根據(jù)下句話but his parents told him not to worry. They said that he should be happy with himself the way he was.可知，Alex的父母告訴他不要擔心，因此這里是說Alex受到了別人的嘲笑，故應(yīng)選C。

【6】句意：他太矮了。tall 高的；short短的，矮的；fat胖的；thin瘦的。根據(jù)上文But as his friends grew taller and taller, his neck_____4_____short.可知，Alex是很矮的，所以不能去參加一些運動。故應(yīng)選B。

【7】句意：難道就因為他沒有長脖子，他就不得不離開動物園了嗎？after 在…之后；unless除非，如果不，引導條件狀語從句；because因為，引導原因狀語從句；before在…之前，引導時間狀語從句。根據(jù)句意可知，這里表示的是“因為他沒有長脖子，所以離開動物園”，說的是原因，故應(yīng)選C。

【8】句意：在兩塊區(qū)域之間有一個小門。cage 籠子；hole洞；window窗戶；door門。根據(jù)下句話Alex was the only giraffe that could fit through it.可知，只有Alex能通過它，這里的it指的就是這個題目的答案，故A是不對的。B選項和C選項對于長頸鹿來說都太小了，不大可能；D選項“門”比較合理，在動物園的兩個區(qū)域之間有個門，因此應(yīng)選D。

【9】句意：動物園專門給你制作了一個地方，因為有那么多人想要看到你是多么的特別！him 他，人稱代詞賓格；you 你；us 我們，人稱代詞賓格；me我，人稱代詞賓格。根據(jù)文意可知，這是Alex的父母對他說的話，在引號中應(yīng)該稱呼為“你”，故應(yīng)選B。

【10】句意：游客們指著他，興奮地尖叫。excitedly興奮地；angrily生氣地；sadly傷心地；heavily重地。根據(jù)下句話They looked happy to see something so special at the zoo可知，游客們在動物園里看到了很特別的東西，他們很開心，選項中A選項與happy意思相近，所以應(yīng)該是“興奮地尖叫”，選A。

這篇短文給我們講述了長頸鹿Alex的故事，他的脖子比其他長頸鹿的都要更短，他一開始很擔心。但他的父母說他是特別的，最后真的是，很多游客都來動物園看這只特別的長頸鹿。文章是故事類的短文，文意比較容易理解。題型是完型填空，考查學生們在具體情境中運用語言的能力，綜合性較強，學生們既需具備好的閱讀理解、推理判斷的能力，也需要對詞匯的用法比較熟悉。完型填空這一題型是在具體語境中考查詞匯的用法，選項中的詞匯常常詞性相同，在句中的作用一樣，我們需要把他們放在文章中，聯(lián)系上下文選擇最合適的。做題時，應(yīng)先通讀短文，掌握大意；然后逐空做題，先易后難，注意上下文的語境提示和空前后的固定搭配；最后應(yīng)再讀一遍短文，檢查答案。例如第2小題，選項中是四個形容詞，聯(lián)系上下文的意思his neck was much shorter than the others’. …But his mother told him that he was special. She said it did not matter how short or long his neck was.可知，Alex的脖子比其他長頸鹿的更短，下文說他的媽媽安慰他，說他很特別。由此我們可以推測出Alex的感受，他很擔心，故應(yīng)選D。再如第10小題，選項中都是副詞，根據(jù)下句話They looked happy to see something so special at the zoo可知，游客們在動物園里看到了很特別的東西，他們很開心，所以四個選項中只有A與happy意思相近，這里應(yīng)該是“興奮地尖叫”，故選A。

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,回答下列問題。

(2018·山東臨沂)Have you ever counted the number of digits (數(shù)字) in your mobile phone number? Your number has 11 digits. You may sometimes find it hard to remember your number. That’s because China has the longest mobile phone numbers in the world. Why is that?

The 11 digits can be divided into three parts. Each part has a different meaning. The first three numbers tell you which mobile phone service provider (提供者) you are using For example, 135 is for China Mobile Communications Corporation and 188 is for China Unicom. The fourth to the seventh digits tell you where the number is registered (注冊). And the last four digits are random (隨機的).

The main reason for using 11 digits is that we have the largest population in the world. We once had 10 numbers. But as our population grew, there were not enough numbers for us to use. So we began to use 11 digits starting from 1999. Eleven digits can be used to make tens of billions of mobile phone numbers. That’s enough for each person to have seven or eight phone numbers to use in China.

And mobile phone numbers can be recycled. Usually, the service provider will reuse a canceled number after three to six months. If you call a number that you haven’t contacted (聯(lián)系) for a long time, you may find that its owner has changed.

Besides China, Britain and Japan also use 11-digit mobile phone numbers. But their numbers always start with 0. So they cannot create as many numbers as we can. Countries like the United States, Australia and India use phone numbers with 10 digits. Canada’s mobile phone numbers are perhaps the shortest in the world: they use seven digits.

【1】Is China the only country that uses 11-digit mobile phone numbers in the world?

【2】What can we know from the fourth to the seventh digits of a mobile phone number in China?

【題目】（題文）Every morning my father buys a newspaper on his way to work. Every evening my mother looks through magazines at home. And every night, I look at the posters with photos of David Beckham and Yao Ming on my bedroom wall before I go to sleep. Can we imagine life without paper or print?

Paper was first created about 2,000 years ago, and has been made from silk, cotton, bamboo, and, since the 19th century, from wood. People learned to write words on paper to make a book. But in those days, books could only be produced one at a time by hand. As a result, they were expensive and rare. And because there weren’t many hooks, few people learned to read.

Then printing was invented in China. When printing was developed greatly at the beginning of the 11th century, books could be produced more quickly and cheaply. As a result, more people learned to read. After that, knowledge and ideas spread quickly.

Today information can be received online, downloaded from the Internet rather than found in books, and information can be kept on CD-ROMs or machines such as MP3 players.

Computers are already used in classrooms, and newspapers and magazines can already be read online. So will books be replaced by computers one day? No, I don’t think the Yao Ming poster on my bedroom wall will ever be replaced by a computer two metres high!

【1】（小題1）What does the writer do before he goes to sleep’?

A. He reads books. B. He reads newspapers

C. He looks through magazines D. He looks at the posters on the wall.

【2】（小題2）When was paper first created?

A. About 2.000 years ago. B. In the 19th century.

C. About 1.000 years ago. D. In the 11th century.

【3】（小題3）Why were books expensive and rare before the invention of printing?

A. People could not read.

B. People could not write words on paper.

C. People could not find silk, cotton or bamboo.

D. People could only produce books one at a time by hand
