二、阅读单选

Lima, the capital of Peru, is located in the central coastal part of the country, overlooking

the Pacific Ocean. With a population of more than 9 million, Lima is one of the largest cities

and the only capital in South America that faces the ocean.

Lima has a long history. The lost Inca civilization, is thought to be a mystery. There are

many museums, where you can learn: How the ancient American Indians founded the Inca

Empire and built Machu Picchu, a famous ancient city in the Andes Mountains; what

happened in 1532 and why over 90% of Peruvians speak Spanish. Visiting the historic center,

a World Heritage Site, you may find you are communicating with both the past and the

present.

Lima is also a place where you can find the lifestyles and fashions, created by its people

and culture. You will see Peruvian clothes, dances, and taste their delicious foods and drinks.

You can see buildings in different styles, enjoy the fantastic sunset over the ancient ruins,

climb the mountains, fly over the ocean, or sit in the restaurants and bars to experience

Peruvians’ relaxing life.

You may have heard “It never rains in Lima.” In fact, the special geographic feature

makes it not as dry as it is said to be and it is warm all year around. Though it seldom rains in

summer, it sometimes drizzles on early winter morning. The drizzle and the wet air “water”

the ground, which makes the crops and the plants grow. Moreover, modern technology helps

to bring water from the snow and ice on the top of the Andes (over 6,000 m high) for the city

to use. People there never waste water.

Lima is such an amazing city that it is worth a visit.

One day, Lindsay and Erica were at Lindsay’s house working on a science project about

the weather.

Lindsay was a hard worker like Erica, so the two girls were happy to be partners. They

were now writing about rain and were amazed to learn how much rain their town gets every

year.

The girls were enjoying the fun facts they were finding. When all of a sudden, Lindsay

saw Erica couldn’t breathe. Erica had been chewing on (

Heimlich maneuver is a popular way to save some one from choking. This method is named

after the doctor who invented it, Henry Heimlich.)

Lindsay’s mom didn’t want to hurt Erica, so the first time she tried the Heimlich

maneuver, she did not do it very hard. She tried a second time, and nothing happened. After

trying it a third time, the pen cap flew out of Erica’s mouth!

Erica was very thankful to Lindsay and her mom. She was really scared when she had

swallowed the pen cap and could not breathe. Lindsay’s quick thinking saved her friend. This

三、阅读还原5选4

Pet owners know very well that animals can communicate with humans and with each

other, but scientists still find it difficult to explain how this happens.

Animals communicate through sounds, smells, movements and touch. 18 For

example, these senses can tell a member of their group about food, or warn them of danger, or

even just to play.

No one has ever proved that animals can really talk. 19 He learned to say

many English words, such as “I love you”, which he said to his trainer every night. Other

birds can use different noises or songs when they are in danger or want to make friends, but

they cannot make human sounds.

We also know that animals produce different smells in order to communicate

information to each other. Dogs are well-known for having a good sense of smell. 20

They also get to know other dogs by smelling them first before they become friends!

Scientists have known for some time that when a bee has found a place with a lot of food,

it goes back to its home and performs a kind of dance. This shows the others exactly where to

go. They don’t need the bee to actually take them there.

Finally, a lot of animals use different parts of their body to communicate like humans.

21 Elephants will do something similar as they join their trunks (

象鼻

) to

show friendship.

A

．

That’ s why they make good pets.

B

．

For this reason they are trained to search for people.

C

．

These senses are used by different animals for different purposes.

D

．

However, a famous parrot (

鹦鹉

) called Alex was trained to speak.

E

．

For example, humans may greet another person by kissing or shaking hands.
