这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了皮肤：皮肤是身体的基本部分，它起着阻挡疾病、毒物和太阳有害光线的作用；保持人体温暖或凉爽，也阻止身体失去水分，更是身体的触觉部分。因此，皮肤灼伤严重时，急救是很重要的。 【41题详解】

考查冠词。句意：皮肤是人体的重要组成部分，也是人体最大的器官。part是可数名词，单数形式前

加不定冠词a/an表示泛指，因essential读音以发元音开头，用不定冠词an。故填an。 【42题详解】

考查形容词最高级。句意：皮肤是人体的重要组成部分，也是人体最大的器官。根据句意，皮肤是身

体最大的器官，要用形容词的最高级修饰名词organ。故填largest。 【43题详解】

考查定语从句的关系词。句意：你有三层皮肤，它们是抵御疾病、毒物和太阳有害射线的屏障。先行词为layers，在定语从句中作主语，用关系代词which/that。故填which/that。 【44题详解】

考查形容词。句意：你有三层皮肤，它们是抵御疾病、毒物和太阳有害射线的屏障。名词 rays前要

用形容词修饰。故填harmful。 【45题详解】

考查主谓一致。句意：皮肤的功能也很复杂。主语functions是复数形式，谓语动词也应用复数形式are。且句子为一般现在时。故填are。 46题详解】

考查动名词作介词宾语。句意：它能防止你的身体流失过多的水分。介词from后接动词时用动名词形式作宾语。故填losing。 【47题详解】

考查连接副词。句意：它是你感到冷、热或疼痛的地方，它使你有触觉感。在系动词is 后，where引

导表语从句，同时在表语从句中作地点状语。故填where。 【48题详解】

考查介词。句意：它是你感到冷、热或疼痛的地方，它使你有触觉感。sense of touch触觉，是固定搭配。故填of。 【49题详解】

考查过去分词。句意：所以你可以想象，如果你的皮肤被烧伤了，情况会很严重。动词get是系动词，后接形容词作表语，形容词burned“烧焦的”。故填burned。 【50题详解】

考查名词。句意：急救是治疗烧伤非常重要的第一步。冠词the后接名词，in the treatment of医治......是固定搭配。故填treatment。

【点睛】第6小题考查了动名词作介词宾语的用法。动名词作宾语或介词宾语使用如下： 1.在很多动词后都可跟动名词作宾语：

Have you finished cleaning the windows? 窗子擦好了吗？ Would you mind shutting the door? 劳驾把门关上行吗？ I enjoyed working there. 我在那里工作很高兴。 Our house needs painting. 我们的房子需要油漆。

能眼这种宾语的动词很多，常见的有：stop，suggest，remember，begin，like，start，mind，continue，can't help等。

2.动名词作介词宾语的时候也很多，特别是在某些成语后，如： Are you interested in going with us? 你有兴趣和我们一块儿去吗？ He is fond of playing tennis. 他很喜欢打网球。

18. Last July, my 12-year-old car died on California’s Santa Freeway．It was an hour before sunset, and I was 25 miles from home．I couldn’t reach anyone to pick me up, so I decided to take a bus．Not knowing the routes, I thought I should just go east．

A bus stopped．I got on and asked the driver how far she was going．“Ten more miles,”she said．There was another bus I could take from here．This clearly was going to be a long night． I got off at the end of the route and she told me which bus to look for．After waiting 30 minutes, I began to think about a very expensive taxi ride home．Then a bus came up．There was no light number above its windshield（挡风玻璃）．It was out of service, but the door opened．It was the same driver．“I just can’t leave you here,”she said．“This isn’t the nicest place．I will give you a ride home．”

“You will drive me home on the bus?”I asked, astonished．

“No, I will take you in my car, ”she said． “It’s a long way, ”I insisted．

“Come on, ” she said．“I have nothing else to do．”

As we drove from, the station in the car, she began telling me a story．A few days earlier, her

brother had run out of gas．A good man picked him up, took him to a service station and then back to his car．“I’m just passing the favour on,”she said．

19. While CCTV’s educational show Animal World is well known, few big screen wildlife documentaries have been made by China’s film industry.

But Born in China, which came out on Aug 2, may be important for Chinese filmmakers who want to get into nature -themed films. The movie, directed by Chinese filmmaker Lu Chuan, was shot in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and shows the animals’ lives during different seasons.

Born in China not only brings to audiences the lives of animals that are rarely seen in the wild—giant pandas, snow leopards, and golden monkeys, but also shows Chinese traditional culture.

A symbol of China, the giant panda is both black and white. Its body is thought to show yin and yang, which ancient Chinese ideas were based on. The panda’s gentle nature shows how yin and yang lead to peace. It can be seen in the film when a panda mother guides her baby to look for independence and explore the world.

Unlike the shy pandas, monkeys always have strong personalities. The Monkey King in China’s most famous novel Journey to the West has many conflicting traits(特点). It stands for not only impatience but also cleverness and energy. Born in China follows a 2-year- old golden monkey who leaves his family, but then returns and understands the meaning of responsibility.

Just as the golden monkey, a mother snow leopard also faces difficulty in raising her babies in the wild. The leopards, known for their rapid attacks and quick footwork(脚步), have inspired a form of pictographic(象形拳) in Shaolin martial arts(武术).

“Born in China is a means to show off Chinese traditional culture,” director Lu told the reporter. “Chinese people have learned a lot from wild animals since ancient times. This is why I shot this nature -themed documentary.”

1. How is Born in China special according to the article?

A. It shows Chinese traditional culture through the lives of animals. B. It’s considered the best nature-themed film to come out of China. C. It’s the first big screen wildlife documentary ever made in China. D. It shows audiences the lives of rare animals.

2. We can learn from the article that in Born in China, _______.

A. the story of the giant pandas shows the importance of exploring the world B. the story of the golden monkeys was inspired by the Monkey King C. the stories show how animals grow up to be independent

D. the story about snow leopards shows what people can learn from animals 3. What may be the best title for the text?

A. The stories of 3 animal families B. Symbols of China

C. Wildlife born in China D. Nature shows culture
