9．Lost forever
Most people have heard about Didus ineptus，or the dodo，as it is more commonly known．It was the flightless，long-extinct（滅絕的）member of the dove family that lived in the Indian Ocean island of Mauritius．The name"dodo"comes from the Portuguese and means"a person who is foolish"；（31）C，to call someone a"dodo"（32）Atheir stupidity．The dodo was a foolish creature about the size of a turkey and was easily fooled by sailors who tapped on trees to（33）Cits attention．It would come（34）D towards the sound and was easily caught and whisked on board ship to become a valuable source of fresh，but tough meat．
Another expression to appear from the（35）Abird's situation is to say that something is"as dead as a dodo"，which means long since dead，very much（36）B，or deserted．Of the many animals that people have removed from the face of the earth，the dodo has probably made the greatest contribution to our（37）D．
Another less well-known but（38）Bextinct bird is Aepyornis maximus，more commonly known as the elephant bird of Madagascar．This creature（39）Ca very thickset，three-metre-tall emu（鴯鹋）（40）Dover half a ton and is thought to be the largest bird that ever lived．It was big in every way，even its eggs were extremely large．An elephant bird egg could measure up to ninety centimetres in diameter and（41）C nine liters of liquid，about 200 ordinary chicken eggs．The eggs were in fact three times larger than dinosaur eggs．
  It's hard to imagine how impressive the elephant bird must have been as it walked about proudly in its natural habitat．For thousands of years its size（42）Awas enough to scare the meat-eating animals．（43）Bit was a flightless bird，its sharp claws and powerful neck and beak ensured it could look after itself-that is，up until the Europeans arrived on Madagascar．They not only hunted elephant birds for food but began（44）Ctheir eggs as gifts．Sadly it was made（45）Daround I700，and the world became a much poorer place because of it

Answer 1

分析 介紹了一種滅絕已久的鳥(niǎo)----dodo鳥(niǎo)，并介紹幾個(gè)與之相關(guān)的短語(yǔ)．

解答 31-35 CACDA 36-40 BDBCD 41-45 CABCD
31．C 考察連詞．根據(jù)上下文語(yǔ)境此處表示因果關(guān)系，therefore因此，符合題意．
32．A 考察動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)．把愚蠢的人稱(chēng)為"dodo"，即refer  to動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)，指代．
33．C 考察動(dòng)詞．a(chǎn)ttract one‘s attention是固定短語(yǔ)，吸引某人的注意力．
34．D考察分詞． 前文提到 was easily fooled by sailors 很容易被欺騙，所以一聽(tīng)到聲音就一路跑來(lái)．
35．A 考察形容詞．根據(jù)第一段的介紹這種鳥(niǎo)是不幸運(yùn)的． 
 36．考察形容詞．根據(jù)后句or deserted可知outdated為過(guò)時(shí)的，兩者并列．
37．D考察名詞．前面介紹了和 dodo鳥(niǎo)相關(guān)的兩個(gè)短語(yǔ)，所以對(duì)人類(lèi)貢獻(xiàn)的是語(yǔ)言方面．
38．B 考察副詞．前面的dodo鳥(niǎo)瀕臨滅絕，另外一個(gè)同樣extinct bird 的鳥(niǎo)．
39．C考察動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)．look like 是動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)，看起來(lái)很像． 
40．D考察分詞．  over half a ton 說(shuō)的是重量，所以用weight，二者是主動(dòng)關(guān)系．
41．C  考察動(dòng)詞．蛋里含有nine liters of liquid…contain此處時(shí)含有的意思．
42．A考察副詞．根據(jù)句意，單從尺寸上看，alone此處是單獨(dú)的．
43．B 考察連接詞．根據(jù)句意even though引導(dǎo)讓步狀語(yǔ)從句．
44．C 考察分詞．collect意思是收集，和主語(yǔ)They是主動(dòng)關(guān)系，所以用現(xiàn)在分詞形式．
45．D考察形容詞．介紹的這個(gè)鳥(niǎo)，早在大約1700年就滅絕了，是一件傷心的事情．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 解答細(xì)節(jié)理解題時(shí)，一個(gè)常用的方法就是運(yùn)用定位法，即根據(jù)題干和選項(xiàng)中的關(guān)鍵詞從原文中找到相關(guān)的句子，與選項(xiàng)進(jìn)行比較從而確定答案；推理判斷題 既要求學(xué)生透過(guò)文章表面文字信息推測(cè)文章隱含意思，又要求學(xué)生對(duì)作者的態(tài)度、意圖及文章細(xì)節(jié)的發(fā)展作正確的推理判斷，力求從作者的角度去考慮，不要固守自己的看法或觀(guān)點(diǎn)
