2020届人教版高考英语一轮复习必修二练习：Unit5课下语篇提能练

必修二 Unit 5课下语篇提能练 Ⅰ.阅读理解 For a herder (放牧人) in Africa, the hardest part of the job is searching for cows lost in the bush.But for Andrew, a herder at a farm in Zimbabwe, it's not a problem.Once he spots Toro, he knows the rest of the herd is nearby.That's because Toro isn't an ordinary member of the herd.He's a giraffe.In hot weather, cattle rest in the shade under his belly.And because of his height, Toro can spot lions long before they come close to the herd.‎ Toro's unusual situation came about after his mother was killed by lions.Toro survived the attack, but he was left with no one to protect him or give him milk.About two days later, some herders spotted and rescued him.With the permission of the Department of Wildlife, the herders moved Toro to Andrew's farm.Since giraffes and cattle are both planteating animals that live in groups, their behaviors are much the same.Toro was accepted into the herd and wandered among the cattle as they ate grass.‎ Toro doesn't always behave like the other members of his new herd.Like many kinds of animals, cattle compete for dominance (支配权)．Standing more than 13 feet tall, Toro is more than three times taller than the biggest bull.But Toro never tries to be “the boss”．“He is very used to their company，” Andrew said.When the herd enters the kraal (家畜栏), the cows and bulls push each other.“But thanks to his height, Toro does not need to join the mess，” said Andrew.‎ When asked if Toro would ever be returned to the wild, Munetsi, an officer of the Department of Wildlife, said no.“In the wild, he would find it difficult to be accepted into another herd or defend himself from predators (猎食者)，” he added.“He seems very much at home and is respected by the cattle.”‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。在非洲的津巴布韦，一头落单的长颈鹿与牛群生活在一起，同吃同住，相处得非常和谐。‎ ‎1．What was Toro like when the herders found him?‎ A．He was left alone.‎ B．He was seriously ill.‎ C．He was lost in the bush.‎ D．He was fighting with lions.‎ 解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第二段“...but he was left with no one to protect him or give him milk”可知，当这些放牧人发现这只长颈鹿的时候，因为它的妈妈在与狮子搏斗时死去，无人照顾它，它完全落单了。‎ ‎2．What do we know about Toro in the cattle herd?‎ A．He gets along well with the herd.‎ B．He is pushed around by the bulls.‎ C．He has fought to be the leader.‎ D．He stays away from the herd most of the time.‎ 解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第二段和第三段中的描述可知，长颈鹿Toro和牛群中的其他成员相处得很好。‎ ‎3．What will happen to Toro according to Munetsi?‎ A．He will be sent back to the wild.‎ B．He will be put into another herd of giraffes.‎ C．He will continue to live together with Andrew.‎ D．He will be trained to fight with the big animals.‎ 解析：选C　推理判断题。根据最后一段可推知，人们不会把Toro放归大自然，因为它将很难被新的长颈鹿群接受，也很难保护自己不被猎食者吃掉。‎ ‎4．What may be the best title for the text?‎ A．Giraffes under threat in the wild B．A surprising new family for a giraffe C．A new way of herding appearing in Africa D．Moments showing friendship between animals 解析：选B　标题归纳题。综合分析文章可知，本文介绍了一只与牛群生活在一起的长颈鹿，它与牛群相处和谐，已成为这个大家庭中的一名成员。‎ Ⅱ.完形填空 If you're walking through Boston during a downpour, you might see a(n) __1__ appear before your eyes.
