短文一：Alex 是一只非洲灰鸚鵡， Dr．Irene Pepperberg 訓練他說話。當他在2007年死的時候， 他已經(jīng)掌握的詞匯量大約 是150個單詞。

短文二：Kanzi顯然是一只非凡的黑猩猩，他掌握的詞匯量超過3000個單詞， 他能回應大量的口頭指令和問題。

【1】句意： Dr．Irene Pepperberg 訓練他說話。

考查動詞，根據(jù)后一句“he had a vocabulary of about 150words when he died in 2007。當他在2007年死的時候，他已經(jīng)掌握的詞匯量大約 是150個單詞�！笨芍�該句是主謂賓結(jié)構(gòu)，結(jié)合上下文可知該句是一般過去式，所以設空處填動詞過去式做謂語，選項 C：trained 訓練，是過去式動詞，符合題意，故選C。

【2】句意：他和Pepperberg博士進行了一次親密的交談。

考查名詞，根據(jù)題干可知固定搭配： have a close chat with sb 與某人親密的聊天， 所以設空處填名詞" chat" 聊天，故選A。

【3】句意：當她不得不離開亞歷克斯和獸醫(yī)去做手術(shù)的時候。

考查名詞，根據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞" vet " 獸醫(yī)，又因題干關(guān)鍵詞" a（n）" 是不定冠詞， 修飾可數(shù)名詞單數(shù)，選項 D： operation 手術(shù)， 是可數(shù)名詞，符合題意，故選D。

【5】句意：然后她告訴他關(guān)掉水。

考查動詞短語，根據(jù)“In one test， the researcher，Dr．Savage﹣Rumbaugh asked him to wash a potato．在一次試驗中，研究者Dr．savage﹣rumbaugh讓他去洗洗土豆。”又因題干關(guān)鍵詞" to " 后面加動詞原形，選項 D：turn off 關(guān)掉，是動詞短語，符合題意，故選 D。

【6】句意：Kanzi準確地回應660個要求和說明的74%。

考查副詞，根據(jù)下一句“Kanzi clearly a remarkable chimp． Kanzi顯然是一只非凡的黑猩猩�！�，又因題干關(guān)鍵詞" responded" 回應，是動詞，可用副詞來修飾，選項A： accurately 精確地，準確地，是副詞，符合題意， 故選A。

【7】句意：Kanzi就去告訴有罪的黑猩猩還回被偷的鑰匙。

考查現(xiàn)在分詞，根據(jù)語境“Kanzi likes watching TV﹣Tarzon is oneof his favourite movies．Kanzi喜歡看電視﹣﹣﹣塔松是他最喜歡的電影之一�！�，又因該句是以" when" 引導的時間狀語從句，主句是一般現(xiàn)在時，所以從句用現(xiàn)在進行時表將來。所以設空處填現(xiàn)在分詞，選項 C： relaxing放松，是現(xiàn)在分詞，符合題意，故選C。
